The present invention relates to a method of making novel dipeptidyl peptidase-IV ("DPP-IV') inhibitor compounds useful for treating, inter alia, diseases that are associated with proteins that are subject to processing by DPP-IV, such as Type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome (Syndrome X or insulin resistance syndrome), hyperglycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, glucosuria, metabolic acidosis, cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, Type 1 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, osteopenia, frailty, bone loss, bone fracture, acute coronary syndrome, infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome, short bowel syndrome and to prevent disease progression in Type 2 diabetes. The invention also relates to a method of making 3,3,4,4-tetrafluoropyrrolidine, a starting material utilized in the afore-mentioned method for preparing DPP-IV compounds.

The present invention relates to a series of prodrugs of inhibitors of DP-IV with improved properties. The compounds can be used for the treatment of a number of human diseases, including impaired glucose tolerance and type II diabetes. The compounds of the invention are described by general formula (1); wherein R1 is H or CN; R2 is selected from CH2R5, CH2CH2R5 and C(R3)(R4)—X2—(CH2)aR5; R3 and R4 are each independently selected from H and Me; R5 is selected from CON(R6)(R7), N(R8)C(=0)R9, N(R8)C(═S)R9, N(R8)SO2R10 and N(R8)R10; R6 and R7 are each independently R11(CH2)b or together they are —(CH2)2-Z-(CH2)2— or CH2-o-C6H4-Z-CH2—; R8 is H or Me; R9 is selected from R11(CH2)b, R11(CH2)bO and N(R6)(R7); R10 is R11(CH2)b; R11 is selected from H, alkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted aroyl, optionally substituted arylsulphonyl and optionally substituted heteroaryl; R12 is selected from H2NCH(R13)CO, H2NCH(R14)CONHCH(R15)CO, C(R16)═C(R17)COR18 and R19OCO; R13, R14 and R15 are selected from the side chains of the proteinaceous amino acids; R16 is selected from H, lower alkyl (C1-C6) and phenyl; R17 is selected from H and lower alkyl (C1-C6); R18 is selected from H, lower alkyl (C1-C6), OH, O-(lower alkyl (C1-C6)) and phenyl; R19 is selected from lower alkyl (C1-C6), optionally substituted phenyl and R20C(=0)OC(R21)(R22); R20, R21 and R22 are each independently selected from H and lower alkyl (C1-C6); Z is selected from a covalent bond, —(CH2)c—, —O—, —SOd— and —N(R10)—; X1 is S or CH2; X2 is O, S or CH2; a is 1, 2 or 3; b is 0-3; c is 1 or 2; and d is 0, 1 or 2.

The invention relates to the treatment or prevention of one or more conditions selected from type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance and hyperglycemia using a SGLT-2 inhibitor. In addition the present invention relates to methods for preventing or treating of metabolic disorders and related conditions.

A composition for the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) including a compound which binds to a receptor for glucagon-like peptide-1, and a pharmaceutical carrier. The amount of the compound present is an effective amount to improve pancreatic β-cell sensitivity to blood glucose levels in a human with IGT. Also, a method for improving the pattern of insulin secretory responses in a human with IGT by administering to the human a composition comprising a compound which binds to a receptor for glucagon-like peptide-1 and a pharmaceutical carrier.
