New fluorinated pyrrolidine and azetidine amides as dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Nov 1;15(21):4770-3. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.07.026.

Abstract

Cyclohexylglycine amides of various fluorinated pyrrolidines and azetidines were prepared and tested for activity against dipeptidyl peptidase IV and in vivo in the KK mouse model of type 2 diabetes. The tetrafluoropyrrolidide, cis-3,4-difluoropyrrolidide and the fluorinated azetidides displayed unexpectedly strong activity.
