Abstract:

In a search for novel DPP-IV inhibitors, 2-aminobenzo[a]quinolizines were identified as submicromolar HTS hits. Due to the difficult synthetic access to this compound class, 1,3-disubstituted 4-aminopiperidines were used as model compounds for optimization. The developed synthetic methodology and the SAR could be transferred to the 2-aminobenzo[a]quinolizine series, leading to highly active DPP-IV inhibitors.
