Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) are key enzymes in processes that regulate cell
growth and differentiation. The inhibition of these enzymes can play a role in the modulation
of multiple signaling pathways in which tyrosine phosphorylation dephosphorylation plays a
role. PTP1B is a particular protein tyrosine phosphatases that is often used as a prototypical
member of that class of enzymes.
PTPase inhibitors are recognized as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of diabetes.

The compound of formula I-B contains various different embodiments in the same manner as
the compound of formula I-A. The first major embodiment are those compounds where Rb
and Rc taken together form a lower alkylene dioxy bridge. The second are those compounds
22
where Rb and Rc taken together with their adjacent carbon atoms to form an ring system
which contains one or two aromatic, cycloalkyl or heteroaromatic rings fused to the
heteroaromatic ring © in the compound of formula I-B. On the other hand, in accordance
with a third embodiment of this invention, the compound where Rb and Rc in the compound
of formula I-B can be independent, individual substituents. The embodiments formed in this
manner are the same as set forth with regard to compounds I-A.
In addition, since the compound of formula I-B contains within its structure a heteroaromatic
ring, this heteroaromatic ring can contain sulfur, oxygen and/or nitrogen as the only hetero
atom. On the other hand, this structure can contain two hetero atoms with each being the
same or each being a different hetero atom such as oxygen or nitrogen. One such
embodiment of those compounds, where the hetero aromatic ring contains sulfur as the only
hetero atom. In this embodiment, the class of compounds where Rb and Rc are
independently halogen or lower alkyl are preferred. In addition, those class of compounds
where Rb and Rc are independently hydrogen, halogen or lower alkyl and R] and Ra" are
hydrogen and lower alkyl are especially preferred.
In addition, with respect to those compounds of formula I-B where the hetero aromatic ring in
this compound contains the sulfur atom as the only hetero atom in its ring, the class of
compounds where Rb and Rc is hydrogen, or
Ri2 C
Ri2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; and
Rb and RC is other than hydrogen are preferred. In this embodiment, those compounds where
RI and Ra"are hydrogen and lower alkyl are especially preferred.
As indicated hereinabove, Rb and Rc which are present when attached on adjacent carbon
atoms on the hetero aromatic ring can be taken together with their attached carbon atoms to
form a fused ring system. This ring system can be either a hetero aromatic ring or an
aromatic ring. The preferred fused aromatic ring is a phenyl ring.

In accordance with this invention, the compounds herein as well as their pharmaceutically
acceptable salts are useful in the control or prevention of illnesses associated with high blood
glucose concentration. A preferred indication associated with the present invention is that
associated with diabetes.
The dosage can vary within wide limits and will, of course, have to be adjusted to the
individual requirements in each particular case. In the case of oral administration, the dosage
for adults may vary from about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg per day of a compound of
formulas I or II, or of the corresponding amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The daily dosage may be administered as single dose or in divided doses, and in addition, the
upper limit can also be exceeded when this is found to be indicated.
The compounds of formula (I) can be manufactured by the methods given below, by the
methods given in the examples or by analogous methods. Appropriate reaction conditions for
the individual reaction steps are known to a person skilled in the art. Starting materials are
either commercially available or can be prepared by methods analogous to the methods given

Compound V: A solution of 7-iodo-lH-indol-5-ylamine hydrochloride IV (24.6 g, 83.7
mmol) in jV,,/V-dimethylformamide (400 mL) at 25°C was treated with sodium dicyanamide
(18.6 g, 209 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to 50°C for 2 h, concentrated in
vacuo, and the residue treated with water (500 mL). The resulting mixture was allowed to
stand at 25°C for 2.5 h during which time a yellow precipitate formed. The precipitate was
collected by filtration and washed with water to afford N"-cyano-N-(7-iodo-lH-indol-5-
yl)guanidine V (22.59 g, 83%) as a light yellow solid: *H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) 8
11.02 (broad s, 1H), 8.89 (broad s, 1H), 7.46 (d, J = 1.83 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (d, J = 1.83 Hz, 1H),

Compound VII: The coupling reaction can be carried out by a conventional aryl coupling
method, e.g., Suzuki coupling method: (a) Suzuki et al., synth.commun. 1981, 11, 513, (b)

[l,rbis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene]dichloro-palladium(II), in a suitable solvent such as
aqueous ethanol or THF or DMF or ethylene glycol for at temperatures ranging from 25° C to
125° C for 2-18 hr yields compound VII.
Alternatively, coupling reaction can be carried out by a conventional aryl or heteroaromatic
coupling partner utilizing Stille coupling, e.g., Stille et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl.,
1986, 25, 508.
Typical conditions used to carry out the Stille reaction include the use of an organostannane
as the coupling partner, palladium catalyst (2-20 mole %) such as
tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (0) or [l,l'bis(diphenylphosphino)-

2.46 mmol), methyl iodide (0.09 mL, 1.48 mmol), and tetrabutylammonium bromide (198
mg, 0.62 mmol), and the resulting mixture stirred at 25°C for 18 h. The reaction mixture was
treated with ethyl acetate, water, and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, shaken
and separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic
layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacua to afford 6-iodo-7-
methyl-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinazoline-l,3-diamine (500 mg) as a yellow solid. The product
was taken on into the next reaction without further purification 6-iodo-7-methyI-7Hpyrrolo[

Typical conditions used to carry out the Suzuki coupling of VIII includes the use of either
aryl or heteroaromatic boronic acid or esters (e.g., where Ar is defined as aryl) as coupling
partner, in aqueous base such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate or barium

Compound X: Typical condition used to carry out alkylation of 6-iodo-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-
fjquinazoline-l,3-diamine VI and phase transfer catalyst such as tetrabutylammonium
bromide, with variety of halides (e.g. RaBr or Ral, where Ra is defined above) is carried out
42
with suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, DMF using suitable base such as sodium
hydroxide at temperatures ranging from -78° C to 25° C to provide the 6-iodo-7-alkyl-7Hpyrrolo[
3,2-f]quinazoline-l,3-diamine XI.
6-Aryl-7-alkyl-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-fjquinazoline-l,3-diamine XI: The coupling reaction can be
carried out by a conventional aryl coupling method, e.g., Suzuki coupling method: (a) Suzuki
et al., synth.commun. 1981,11, 513, (b) Suzuki, Pure andAppl. Chem. 1985, 57, 1749-1758,
(c) Suzuki et al., Chem. Rev. 1995, 95, 2457-2483, (d) Shieh et al., J. Org. Chem. 1992, 57,
379-381, (e) Martin et al., Acta Chemica Scandinavica. 1993, 47, 513.
Typical conditions used to carry out the Suzuki coupling of 6-iodo-7-alkyl-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-
fjquinazoline-l,3-diamine X includes the use of either aryl or heteroaromatic boronic acid or
esters (e.g. where Ar is defined as aryl) as coupling partner, in aqueous base such as sodium
bicarbonate or potassium carbonate or barium hydroxide or triethylamine solution, a
palladium catalyst ( 2-20 mole %) such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (0) or
[l,rbis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene]dichloro-palladium(II), in a suitable solvent such as
aqueous ethanol or THF or DMF or ethylene glycol for at temperatures ranging from 25° C to
125° C for 2-18 hr yields compound X.
Alternatively, coupling reaction can be carried out by a conventional aryl or heteroaromatic
coupling partner utilizing Stille coupling, e.g., Stille et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed Engl.,
1986,25,508.
Typical conditions used to carry out the Stille reaction include the use of an organostannane
as the coupling partner, palladium catalyst (2-20 mole%) such as
tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (0) or [l,l'bis(diphenylphosphino)-
ferrocene]dichloro-palladium(II), a salt such as potassium fluoride or lithium chloride, in a
suitable anhydrous solvent such as THF or DMF or ethylene glycol for at temperatures
ranging from 25° C to 125° C for 2-18 hr yields 6-Aryl-7-alkyl-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-fjquinazoline-
1,3-diamineXI.

was stopped with KOH and the amount of free phosphate measured using Malachite Green as
previously described. (Harder et al. 1994 Biochem J. 298; 395).
The second method was used for the measurement of general PTPase inhibitory activity
across a panel of PTPases the substrate (6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate
(DiFMUP; from Molecular Probes) was used at the Km for each enzyme. The buffer
conditions were identical as in the Malachite Green assay. The reaction was stopped with
KOH. In this case the dephosphoryated product becomes fluorescent and the fluorescence
read. (Excitiation:360mM/Emmission: 460nM).
For kinetic experiments the same buffer conditions were used except that the reaction was
started using enzyme and the reaction stopped after 10 minutes.

Glucose Uptake Assay
The day before the assay the SKMC media was changed to high glucose DMEM , 25mM
Hepes, pH 7.0 and 2% Charcoal/dextran treated FBS for 19 hours.
On the morning of the assay, cells were starved for max. 2 hours in low glucose (5.5mM
glucose) DMEM, 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.0 and 0.5% BSA. The starvation medium was
removed and replaced with test medium (150mMNaCl, 25mM Hepes, pH 7.0) containing
either 1% DMSO, or test compound diluted in DMSO or Porcine Insulin to a final
concentrations of 1, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01 and O.OluM. Each assay point was performed in
triplicate. The cells were incubated for 45 min at 37°C. lOuM Cytochalasin B (CB) was
added to appropriate wells to stop the active glucose transport (i.e. GLUT 1 & 4). At this
82
point 2-Deoxy-D(U-'4C) glucose (Amersham, Code CFB195, 200uCi/ml) was added to all
wells to a final concentration of 0.8 uCi/ml. The cells were incubated for an additional 45
minutes at 37°C in an incubator. Cells were then very gently washed for three times in PBS
(RT). The cells were then lysed with the addition of 0.05% NaOH solution for 20min at RT.
The lysate was transferred to a scintillation vial containing 5 ml of scintillation fluid and
counted in a Beckman LS6500 Scintillation counter. Analysis of results: The counts obtained
with CB (passive glucose transport values) were subtracted from every value obtained with
PI (or compounds) in order to evaluate only active glucose transport. Fold increase was
calculated by dividing values in the presence of PI (or compounds) by the value obtained in
the presence of DMSO (control). Compounds were considered to be active when they
increase glucose uptake at least 25% of the Porcine Insulin response at O.OSuM.

In vivo inhibition of PTP1B: Effects of compounds on blood glucose levels in mouse model
To measure the anti-diabetic effect compounds were tested in well established rodent in vivo
models of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Diet induced obese C57BL6/J mice (DIP mice)
Mice that have type 2 diabetes were be generated by maintaining them on a high fat diet for a
4-6 months (Diabetes vol. 37 Sept 1988). Male C57BI6/J mice (age 3 - 4 weeks) were placed
on high fat diet for 4-6 months. At this time, they were hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic
and weighed 40-50 g. DIO mice (n=10) were weighed and fasted for a two hour period prior
to oral treatment. Immediately prior to dosing a pre-dose blood glucose reading was taken by
snipping off a portion of the tail and collecting blood from the tail vein. Mice were treated
either with a single dose of compound (acute) or once a day for 5 days (sub- chronic). For
the acute studies glucose was generally measured at 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h post treatment.
Compounds were considered active if they showed a statistically significant (p glucose lowering (>15%) compared to the vehicle treated animals.
For sub-chronic (5 day) studies mice were dosed once a day by gavage as described above.
On day five, glucose was measured prior to dosing (0 time) and 2 hours after dosing. Insulin
and triglycerides were measured at 2 hour post dose. Compounds were considered active if
83
they showed a statistically significant (p compared to the vehicle treated animals.
