Monoclonal antibodies to dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV (DAP IV, EC 3.4.14.5) were raised and selectively applied to paraffin-embedded sections of thyroid carcinoma. Five monoclonal antibodies were found to stain paraffin sections of thyroid carcinomas. Using one of these antibodies (44-4), we studied retrospectively aberrant expression of DAP IV in thyroid carcinoma to determine whether immunohistochemical staining with DAP IV antibody is useful in pathological diagnosis.. In almost all cases of thyroid follicular and papillary carcinoma, tumour cells were positive (99.0 per cent) with DAP IV, whereas the cases of follicular adenoma showed a low incidence (27.1 per cent) of positive staining. Follicular adenoma with incomplete capsular invasion had a higher positive incidence (50 per cent) than follicular adenoma without incomplete capsular invasion (9.6 per cent).. In positive staining cases previously diagnosed as benign tumours, 11 benign cases reacting positively with DAP IV were rediagnosed ...
Tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPPII) is an exopeptidase which cleaves tripeptides from theN-terminus of peptides. The exact functional role of TPPII is still a matter of investigation. Itis believed that the enzyme is primarily involved in intracellular protein degradation, where itcooperates with the proteasome and other peptidases to degrade proteins into free aminoacids. These amino acids can subsequently be used in the production of new proteins. The aimof this work was to express murine wild type TPPII using E. coli and thereafter purify theenzyme from the bacterial lysate. Methods used for the purification included protein andnucleic acid precipitation, anion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interactionchromatography and gel filtration. The presence of TPPII was determined using activityassay, western blot and SDS-PAGE. Despite the fact that some modification is still needed,the purification yielded a total of 34μg TPPII with a purity of approximately 60%. Thispurified enzyme can be used ...
Recent studies have identified Ca2+ stores in sperm cells; however, it is not clear whether these Ca2+ stores are functional and how they are mobilized. Here, in vitro and in vivo, we determined that tripeptidyl peptidase II antagonists strongly activated the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway that drives sperm capacitation-associated protein tyrosine phosphorylation. We demonstrated that in the absence of Ca2+, TPIII antagonists elevated the intracellular Ca2+ levels in sperm, resulting in a marked improvement in sperm movement, capacitation, acrosome reaction, and the in vitro fertilizing ability. This antagonist-induced release of intracellular Ca2+ could be blocked by the inhibitors of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) which are the main intracellular Ca2+ channels responsible for releasing stored Ca2+. Consistent with these results, indirect immunofluorescence assay using anti-RyR antibodies further validated the presence of RyR3 in the acrosomal region of mature sperm. Thus, TPPII can regulate sperm maturation
Tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) enzymes are lysosomal peptidases that have a tripeptidyl exopeptidase activity with an optimal pH of 4-5. They belong to the group of sedolisins, serine peptidases that are present in organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals (Wlodawer et al., 2001; Comellas-Bigler et al., 2002). In eukaryotes, they are synthesized as precursors with an N-terminal signal sequence, a prodomain and a catalytic domain (peptidases S53 domain) (Vines and Warburton, 1999). Furthermore, they are N-glycosylated and become mannosylated during passage through the Golgi complex (Kollmann et al., 2013). TPP1 removes tripeptides from the N-terminus of proteins, but the in vivo substrates are not well characterized. However, synthetic peptides have been developed for enzyme analysis (Tian et al., 2006).. In humans, TPP1 is encoded by the TPP1 (CLN2) gene. Mutations in this gene cause an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease of childhood called late infantile neuronal ceroid ...

Uncontrolled or inaccurate degradation of cellular proteins can lead to diseases like cancer or Alzheimers disease. Scientists of the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) in Martinsried near Munich, Germany, have now uncovered the structure and the operating mechanism of an important component of the human cellular degradation machinery, tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPPII). Decoding the structure of TPPII is a crucial milestone towards understanding the complex activation and control of protein degradation, says Beate Rockel, scientist at the MPIB. The results of the study have now been published in the journal Structure.. Proteins, the molecular building blocks and machines of the cell, are composed of long chains of amino acids. When such a chain has to be degraded, it is first unfolded and then cleaved into shorter pieces, so-called peptides. Tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPPII), which was analyzed by scientists in the department of MPIB director Wolfgang Baumeister, is one of the factors ...

Dipeptidyl-peptidase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DPP3 gene. This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the S9B family in clan SC of the serine proteases. This cytoplasmic protein binds a single zinc ion with its zinc-binding motif (HELLGH) and has post-proline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase activity, cleaving Xaa-Pro dipeptides from the N-termini of proteins. Increased activity of this protein is associated with endometrial and ovarian cancers. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized.

Cell surface glycoprotein receptor involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation. Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation, by binding at least ADA, CAV1, IGF2R, and PTPRC. Its binding to CAV1 and CARD11 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner. Its interaction with ADA also regulates lymphocyte-epithelial cell adhesion. In association with FAP is involved in the pericellular proteolysis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the migration and invasion of endothelial cells into the ECM. May be involved in the promotion of lymphatic endothelial cells adhesion, migration and tube formation. When overexpressed, enhanced cell proliferation, a process inhibited by GPC3. Acts also as a serine exopeptidase with a dipeptidyl peptidase activity that regulates various physiological processes by cleaving peptides in the circulation, including many chemokines, mitogenic growth factors, ...

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 2 (CLN2) or Batten disease is a lysosomal storage disease which primarily affects the nervous system. This disease is a rare disease. In a province of Canada, the incidence of CLN2 disease is estimated to be 9 in 100.000 births. More than 300 cases worldwide have been described in the scientific literature. Symptoms of the CLN2 generally develop between ages two and four years, although later onset cases have been reported. Children with CLN2 may experience speech delay, seizures that do not respond to medications (intractable), loss of muscle coordination (ataxia), muscle twitches (myoclonus), loss of vision, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and behavioural problems. Symptoms of CLN2 worsen as the child gets older (progressive). Mutations in the TPP1 gene cause CLN2 disease and the mutations are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The TPP1 gene provides instructions for producing an enzyme called tripeptidyl peptidase 1. Tripeptidyl peptidase ...

The success of antitumor immune responses depends on the infiltration of solid tumors by effector T cells, a process guided by chemokines. Here we show that in vivo post-translational processing of chemokines by dipeptidylpeptidase 4 (DPP4, also known as CD26) limits lymphocyte migration to sites of inflammation and tumors. Inhibition of DPP4 enzymatic activity enhanced tumor rejection by preserving biologically active CXCL10 and increasing trafficking into the tumor by lymphocytes expressing the counter-receptor CXCR3. Furthermore, DPP4 inhibition improved adjuvant-based immunotherapy, adoptive T cell transfer and checkpoint blockade. These findings provide direct in vivo evidence for control of lymphocyte trafficking via CXCL10 cleavage and support the use of DPP4 inhibitors for stabilizing biologically active forms of chemokines as a strategy to enhance tumor immunotherapy.

At least 115 mutations in the TPP1 gene have been found to cause CLN2 disease. This condition impairs motor and mental development, typically starting in early childhood, causing gradually worsening movement disorders and a decline in intellectual function. In addition, affected children often develop recurrent seizures (epilepsy) and vision impairment. In some cases, signs and symptoms of CLN2 disease do not appear until later in childhood, usually after age 4.. Most of the TPP1 gene mutations that cause CLN2 disease change single amino acids in tripeptidyl peptidase 1, resulting in a severe decrease in enzyme activity. A reduction in functional enzyme results in the incomplete breakdown of certain peptides. CLN2 disease is characterized by the accumulation of proteins or peptides and other substances in lysosomes. These accumulations occur in cells throughout the body; however, nerve cells seem to be particularly vulnerable to their effects. The accumulations can cause cell damage leading to ...
An enzyme found in brain cells can break apart the precursors to plaques that accumulate in the organ and cause toxicity in Alzheimers disease, according to a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine scientists.. The study, published Jan. 29 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, illuminates where the enzyme, tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1), cuts these plaque precursors-formed by peptide fragments called amyloid-beta-into pieces. The findings suggest that increasing TPP1 activity may be an innovative target for treating Alzheimers disease.. TPP1 is one of dozens of enzymes in live cells that can degrade proteins, said senior author Dr. Frederick Maxfield, chairman of the Department of Biochemistry and the Vladimir Horowitz and Wanda Toscanini Horowitz Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine. Our study is the first to find that TPP1 can effectively break down peptides associated with Alzheimers disease that are normally very resistant to ...
Point mutations in human CD26/DP IV were analysed for adenosine deaminase (ADA) binding, monoclonal antibody (mAb) binding and DP IV enzyme activity. Point mutations at either Leu294 or Val341 ablated ADA binding. Binding by mAbs that inhibit ADA binding was found to involve both Leu340 to Arg343 and Thr440/Lys441. Glu205 and Glu206 were found to be essential for enzyme activity. All residues of interest were mapped onto a model of the beta-propeller domain of DP IV. These data led us to suggest that in DP IV and related peptidases ligand and antibody binding sites are non-linear and that enzyme activity depends on charged sidechains that surround the entrance to the central tunnel of the beta-propeller.
It is now generally accepted that DPPIV acts as an important regulator of multiple physiological processes. It catalyzes the release of dipeptides from the N-terminus of circulating hormones, neuropeptides, and chemokines. Moreover, DPPIV is engaged in T cell-dependent immune responses and has been associated with cell adhesion and tumor metastasis (19, 23, 24). As DPPIV appears to act at a checkpoint of blood glucose homeostasis via potentiation of GLP-1-mediated stimulation of the entero-insular-axis and concomitant release of insulin, it has emerged as a target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (4). At present, several DPPIV inhibitors are in the late stage of clinical development and some of them have reached the market for this indication (25). However, based on its ubiquitous expression and pleiotropic functions, systemic and continuous pharmacological blockade of DPPIV might act as a double-edged sword, as not only the beneficial release of insulin is increased but also immune ...

Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a fatal childhood neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease with no known therapy. There are estimated to be 200 to 300 children in the USA at any one time with the disease. LINCL is a genetic disease resulting from mutations in the CLN2 gene. The CLN2 gene encodes a protein tripeptidyl peptidase-I (TPP-I) which is absent/deficient in children with LINCL. This absence/deficiency of TPP-I results in lysosomal storage and subsequent cell death (especially neurons). The children with LINCL are chronically ill, with a progressive CNS disorder that invariably results in death, typically by age 8 to 12.. This clinical study will evaluate the concept that persistent expression of the normal CLN2 cDNA in the CNS will result in the production of sufficient amounts of TPP-I to prevent further loss of neurons, and hence limit disease progression. To assess this concept, an adeno-associated virus vector encoding the normal human CLN2 gene ...

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders with pathological phenotypes that auto fluorescent lipopigments present in neurons and other cell types. Over the past two decades, accumulating evidences indicates that NCLs are caused by mutations in eight different genes, including genes encoding several soluble proteins (cathepsin D, PPT1, and TPP1).[7] Mutations of gene TPP1 result in late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis which is associated with the failure to degrade specific neuropeptides and a subunit of ATP synthase in the lysosome.[8] Mutations in the TPP1 gene lead to late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, a fatal neurodegenerative disease of childhood.[6] It has been demonstrated that a single injection of intravitreal implantation of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells transduced with a TPP1 expression construct at an early stage in the disease progression could substantially inhibit the development of ...
Treatment of manifestations: Treatment is currently symptomatic and palliative only. Seizures, malnutrition, gastroesophageal reflux, pneumonia, sialorrhea, depression and anxiety, spasticity, Parkinsonian symptoms, and dystonia can be effectively managed. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) should be selected with caution. Benzodiazepines may help control seizures, anxiety, and spasticity. Trihexyphenydate may improve dystonia and sialorrhea. Individuals with swallowing problems may benefit from placement of a gastric (G) tube.. Surveillance: Routine medical management of children and young adults with complex neurodisability will be relevant to all those affected by CLN, and may include surveillance for swallowing difficulties and recurrent aspiration and radiograph surveillance of hip joints and spine.. Agents/circumstances to avoid: Carbamazepine and phenytoin may increase seizure activity and myoclonus and result in clinical deterioration; lamotrigine may exacerbate seizures and myoclonus..

Each ERG session consisted of scotopic and photopic ERGs in accordance with the Dog Diagnostic Protocol, recommended by the European College of Veterinary Ophthalmology, primarily for evaluation of rod and cone function. 24 This protocol is preprogramed on the ERG unit and is executed automatically on initiation of the ERG session by the examiner (Jeong M, Narfstrom K, Son W, et al., manuscript submitted, 2008). During 20 minutes of dark adaptation, scotopic low-intensity rod responses were elicited every 4 minutes at a stimulus intensity of 0.01 cd-s/m2; averaged responses to 10 flashes, given at 2-second intervals, were recorded for each time point. The light stimulus intensity was then increased to 3 cd-s/m2 and the averaged responses to four flashes at 10-second intervals were recorded. Thereafter, scotopic high-intensity responses were elicited using 10 cd-s/m2; averaged responses to four flashes administered at 20-second intervals were recorded. The latter two recordings depicted responses ...
The presence of DPPII (dipeptidyl peptidase II; E.C. 3.4.14.2) has been demonstrated in various mammalian tissues. However, a profound molecular and catalytic characterization, including substrate selectivity, kinetics and pH-dependence, has not been conducted. In the present study, DPPII was purified from human seminal plasma to apparent homogeneity with a high yield (40%) purification scheme, including an inhibitor-based affinity chromatographic step. The inhibitor lysyl-piperidide (Ki~0.9 μM at pH 5.5) was chosen, as it provided a favourable affinity/recovery ratio. The human enzyme appeared as a 120 kDa homodimer. Mass spectrometric analysis after tryptic digestion together with a kinetic comparison indicate strongly its identity with QPP (quiescent cell proline dipeptidase), also called dipeptidyl peptidase 7. pH profiles of both kcat and kcat/Km clearly demonstrated that DPPII/QPP possesses an acidic and not a neutral optimum as was reported for QPP. Kinetic parameters of the human ...

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCL) are lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the accumulation of lipofuscin within lysosomes. Late infantile (LINCL) and juvenile (JNCL) are their most common forms and are caused by loss-of-function mutations in tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1), a lysosomal endopeptidase, and CLN3 protein (CLN3p), whose location and function is still controversial. LINCL patients suffer more severely from NCL consequences than JNCL patients, in spite of having in common an abnormal accumulation of material with a similar composition in the lysosomes. To identify distinctive characteristics that could explain the differences in the severity of LINCL and JNCL pathologies, we compared the protein degradation mechanisms in patientś fibroblasts. Pulse-chase experiments show a significant decrease in protein degradation by macroautophagy in fibroblasts bearing TPP1 (CLN2) and CLN3p (CLN3) mutations. In CLN2 fibroblasts, LC3-II levels and other procedures indicate an impaired formation
TY - JOUR. T1 - N-terminal His(7)-modification of glucagon-like peptide-1(7-36) amide generates dipeptidyl peptidase IV-stable analogues with potent antihyperglycaemic activity. AU - Green, BD. AU - Mooney, MH. AU - Gault, Victor. AU - Irwin, Nigel. AU - Bailey, CJ. AU - Harriott, P. AU - Greer, B. AU - OHarte, Finbarr. AU - Flatt, Peter. PY - 2004/3. Y1 - 2004/3. N2 - Glucagon-like peptide-1(7-36)amide (GLP-1) possesses several unique and beneficial effects for the potential treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, the rapid in-activation of GLP-1 by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) results in a short half-life in vivo (less than 2 min) hindering therapeutic development. In the present study, a novel His(7)-modified analogue of GLP-1, N-pyroglutamyl-GLP-1, as well as N-acetyl-GLP-1 were synthesised and tested for DPP IV stability and biological activity. Incubation of GLP-1 with either DPP IV or human plasma resulted in rapid degradation of native GLP-1 to GLP-1 (9-36),amide, while ...
A number of processes could have contributed to the lower canalicular enzyme activities in diclofenac-treated rats including: 1) redistribution of proteins from the canalicular membrane to other intracellular domains, 2) decreased protein synthesis, or 3) decreased activity as a result of adduct formation. It has been reported that several models of cholestasis are associated with redistribution of canalicular proteins and/or decreased synthesis (Barr and Hubbard, 1993; Stieger et al., 1994; Rost et al., 1999). For example, phalloidin-induced cholestasis in rats causes redistribution of ecto-ATPase, dipeptidylpeptidase IV, and a number of ATP-dependent transporter proteins as a result of disruption and internalization of canalicular membrane fragments (Rost et al., 1999). Bile duct ligation in rats has also been associated with decreased localization of dipeptidylpeptidase IV and ecto-ATPase to canalicular membranes and intracellular accumulation as a result of altered delivery of newly ...
One of the new approaches to the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) consists of orally administered dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors. These synthetic drug inhibitors are reported to have some side effects and that subsequently limits their applications. There is a growing interest to develop natural DPP-IV inhibitors that will be potent without undesirable side effects. Many in vitro and some in vivo studies have highlighted the potential of food-derived peptides functioning as effective DPPIV inhibitors. Bioactive peptides within original food-derived proteins are inactive but can be activated by being released during food processing (by enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation) or during gastrointestinal digestion. Hence, the utilization of computer-aided techniques as screening tools may be helpful in predicting the potential of food proteins as precursors of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. This paper reviews the current literature on DPP-IV inhibitory peptides, focusing on ...

DIAGNOSIS: Kufs Disease (Adult Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis). Further inquiry revealed that the deceased had an older sibling (brother) with similar symptoms who had died some years ago with a similar neurodegenerative condition. An autopsy was not performed. DISCUSSION:. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a heterogenous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by accumulation of ceroid-lipopigment inclusions in neurones and most other cells (3,14). The typical clinical features include progressive cognitive and motor deterioration and seizures. The early classification of this group of metabolic diseases was based on age of onset and ultrastructural morphology of the lysosomes, and was divided into Infantile, Late-infantile, Juvenile and Adult forms of the disease. The initial separation of subtypes by age of onset is inaccurate as the clinical onset was found to be highly variable (3,12,14). Subsequent knowledge of some of the genetic and enzyme defect for these diseases has ...
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Elucidation of underlying biology and molecular pathways is necessary for improving therapeutic options and clinical outcomes. CLN3 protein (CLN3p), deficient in neurodegenerative CLN3 disease is anti-apoptotic, and defects in the CLN3 gene cause accelerated apoptosis of neurons in CLN3 disease and up-regulation of ceramide. Dysregulated apoptotic pathways are often implicated in the development of the oncogenic phenotype. Predictably, CLN3 mRNA expression and CLN3 protein were up-regulated in a number of human and murine breast cancer-cell lines. Here, we determine CLN3 expression in non-tumor vs. tumor samples from fresh and formalin-fixed/paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast tissue and analyze the association between CLN3 overexpression and different clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients. Additionally, gene expression of 28 enzymes involved in sphingolipid metabolism was determined. CLN3 mRNA is overexpressed in tumor vs.
Results In Caco-2 cells an ∼ 18-fold increase (p,0.0001) in DP IV protein expression was seen after incubation with TNFα at a concentration of 25 ng/μl for 48 h, as compared to untreated cells. This change is mirrored at the mRNA level with a twofold increase in DP IV expression at similar TNFα concentration and time course. Similar changes were noted in human tissue with a significant 4.5-fold DP IV upregulation (p=0.02) in CD compared to normal controls. However, results at the protein level in human tissue showed an opposite trend, with a ∼2.7-fold decrease in DP IV expression in CD tissue compared to controls (p=0.05). The highest DP IV fasting plasma levels were noted in the control group (558.5±39.98 ng/ml). Levels in CD were significantly less (p=0.0028) both in large bowel CD (406.2±48.10 ng/ml) and more so in the small bowel CD group (361.3±38.83 ng/ml; p,0.01). There was no significant difference in plasma DP IV between active and inactive disease.. ...
This gene encodes a protein that is involved in telomere function. This protein is one of six core proteins in the telosome/shelterin telomeric complex, which functions to maintain telomere length and to protect telomere ends. Through its interaction with other components, this protein plays a key role in the assembly and stabilization of this complex, and it mediates the access of telomerase to the telomere. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. This gene, which is also referred to as TPP1, is distinct from the unrelated TPP1 gene on chromosome 11, which encodes tripeptidyl-peptidase I. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008 ...

Background: PLS is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early onset periodontopathia and palmar plantar keratosis. PLS is caused by mutations in the cathepsin C (CTSC) gene. Dipeptidyl-peptidase I encoded by the CTSC gene removes dipeptides from the aminoterminus of protein substrates and mainly plays an immune and inflammatory role. Several mutations have been reported in this gene in patients from several ethnic groups. We report here mutation analysis of the CTSC gene in three Indian families with PLS. Methods: Peripheral blood samples were obtained from individuals belonging to three Indian families with PLS for genomic DNA isolation. Exon-specific intronic primers were used to amplify DNA samples from individuals. PCR products were subsequently sequenced to detect mutations.PCR-SCCP and ASOH analyses were used to determine if mutations were present in normal control individuals. Results: All patients from three families had a classic PLS phenotype, which included ...
The antimicrobial capacity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in the presence of dextran sulfate (DS) and heparin, which are similar to naturally occurring mucosubstance in rabbit PMN granules was investi~ gated. The cytochemical activity of PMN granules in phagocytosing and nonphagocytosing cells with and without DS or heparin were also evaluated. No evidence for uptake of DS or heparin was obtained when either phagocytosing or nonphagocytosing PMN were incubated in the presence of these two mucosubstances. Specifically, they did not affect cytochemical reactivity of acid phosphatase in cytoplasmic granules or phagocytic vacuoles at the ultrastructural level. The sulfated acid mucosubstance did not affect reactivity of cytoplasmic granules for acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, peroxidase, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase ,I (DAP I) or acid mucosubstance at the light microscopic or ultrastructural level. DAP I activity was demonstrated in the primary granules of PMN for the first time and ...

DE - Germany. Federal Court of Justice of 11 September 2013 (X ZB 8/12) - Dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitors. Keyword: sufficiency of disclosure - functional feature - second medical use. The patent application concerned the use of dipeptidyl peptidase effectors to lower blood sugar levels to treat hyperglycaemia. Administration of insulin was known in the prior art. Newer methods, such as installing subcutaneous depot implants or transplanting intact Langerhans cells, were technically complex and risky. The claimed invention therefore sought to solve the technical problem of providing a simple, cost-effective and minimally invasive method of lowering blood sugar levels. The solution proposed in the single remaining claim as defended in the main request was: Use of inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV) enzymatic activity for lowering the blood sugar level below the glucose concentration characteristic of hyperglycaemia in the serum of a mammalian organism with diabetes mellitus. The court ...

A series of (5-substituted pyrrolidinyl-2-carbonyl)-2-cyanopyrrolidine (C5-Pro-Pro) analogues was discovered as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) inhibitors as a potential treatment of diabetes and obesity. X-ray crystallography data show that these inhibitors bind to the catalytic site of DPPIV with the cyano group forming a covalent bond with the serine residue of DPPIV. The C5-substituents make various interactions with the enzyme and affect potency, chemical stability, selectivity, and PK properties of the inhibitors. Optimized analogues are extremely potent with subnanomolar K(i)s, are chemically stable, show very little potency decrease in the presence of plasma, and exhibit more than 1,000-fold selectivity against related peptidases. The best compounds also possess good PK and are efficacious in lowering blood glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test in ZDF rats. Discovery, structure-activity relationship, and pharmacological evaluation of ...
