Herein we describe the practical synthesis of a potent glucokinase activator (1) that has a chiral thiophenyl-pyrrolidine scaffold. The key to the successful synthesis was the application of a telescoped chiral-pool synthesis from a commercially available l-proline methyl ester derivative to introduce the chirality of the thiophenyl-pyrrolidine moiety. This second-generation synthesis of 1 provided several advantages over the previous method including an operational simplicity and avoidance of purification by column chromatography. The industrial relevance of this synthetic method in large-scale preparation was demonstrated by the production of 54.6 kg of 1 with an excellent chemical and optical purity.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a serine protease related to dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV). It has been convincingly linked to multiple disease states involving remodeling of the extracellular matrix. FAP inhibition is investigated as a therapeutic option for several of these diseases, with most attention so far devoted to oncology applications. We previously discovered the N-4-quinolinoyl-Gly-(2S)-cyanoPro scaffold as a possible entry to highly potent and selective FAP inhibitors. In the present study, we explore in detail the structure-activity relationship around this core scaffold. We report extensively optimized compounds that display low nanomolar inhibitory potency and high selectivity against the related dipeptidyl peptidases (DPPs) DPPIV, DPP9, DPPII, and prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) the log D values, plasma stabilities, and microsomal stabilities of selected compounds were found to be highly satisfactory. Pharmacokinetic evaluation in mice of selected inhibitors demonstrated high oral bioavailability, plasma half-life, and the potential to selectively and completely inhibit FAP in vivo.

A practical method for the preparation of α-N-BOC-epoxides from protected amino acid esters based on the Kowalski homologation reaction is described. This procedure can be readily performed on a large scale without the use of hazardous reagents and has allowed preparation of epoxides 3 in multi-kilogram quantities.
