Potent non-nitrile dipeptidic dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Dec 1;17(23):6476-80. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.09.090. Epub 2007 Oct 1.

Abstract

The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of novel dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors replacing the classical cyanopyrrolidine P1 group with other small nitrogen heterocycles are described. A unique potency enhancement was achieved with beta-branched natural and unnatural amino acids, particularly adamantylglycines, linked to a (2S,3R)-2,3-methanopyrrolidine based scaffold.
