Abstract

Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) is an exciting new approach for the treatment of diabetes. To date there has been no DPP-4 chemotype possessing a carboxy group that has progressed into clinical trials. Originating from the discovery of the structurally novel quinoline derivative 1, we designed novel pyridine derivatives containing a carboxy group. In our design, the carboxy group interacted with the targeted amino acid residues around ...
