Novel deazaxanthine-based DPP-4 inhibitors have been identified that are potent (IC50 <10 nM) and highly selective versus other dipeptidyl peptidases. Their synthesis and SAR are reported, along with initial efforts to improve the PK profile through decoration of the deazaxanthine core. Optimisation of compound 3a resulted in the identification of compound (S)-4i, which displayed an improved in vitro
A convenient synthetic route for preparation of various 4-[4-(1 H-indol-3-yl)butyl]piperazines bearing heterocyclic and aliphatic substituents in position 1 has been developed. During this work some synthetic possibilities of common precursor, 4-[4-(1 H-indol-3-yl)butyl]piperazine, were studied and evaluated.

The present invention features compounds having the Formula (Ia) and (Ib) (e.g., a compound of any of Formulas ((Ia-2)-(Ia-21)), including other tautomers, stereoisomers, E/Z stereoisomers, prodrugs, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and compositions thereof. The invention also features methods for treating or preventing pain (e.g., neuropathic pain), inflammation, or epilepsy in a patient by administering an effective amount of a compound of Formula (Ia) or (Ib). The invention also features a method for treating or preventing pain (e.g., neuropathic pain), inflammation, or epilepsy in a patient that includes administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of Formula (IIa) or (IIb) (e.g., a compound of any of Formulas ((IIa-2)-(IIa-6)). The compounds described herein (e.g., a compound of Formulas (Ia), (Ib), (IIa), or (IIb)) can also be used as anticonvulsants.
