Abstract

Provided herein are compounds, including enantiomerically pure forms thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or co-crystals and prodrugs thereof which have glucagon receptor antagonist or inverse agonist activity. Further, provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same as well as methods of treating, preventing, delaying the time to onset or reducing the risk for the development or progression of a disease or condition for which one or more glucagon receptor antagonist is indicated, including Type I and II diabetes, insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. Moreover, provided herein are methods of making or manufacturing compounds disclosed herein, including enantiomerically pure forms thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or Co-crystals and prodrugs thereof.

Claims (24)

1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient and a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or prodrug thereof:

wherein

R 44 is H, CH 3 or CH 3 CH 2 ;

R 45 is C 1-6 -alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, C 3-6 -cycloalkyl, C 3-6 -cycloalkenyl, C 4-8 -bicycloalkenyl, aryl or heteroaryl, any of which can be optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from C 1-6 alkyl, CF 3 , F, CN or OCF 3 ;

L is phenyl, indenyl, benzoxazol-2-yl, C 3-6 -cycloalkyl, C 4-8 -cycloalkenyl or C 4-8 -bicycloalkenyl, any of which can be optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from F, Cl, CH 3 , CF 3 , OCF 3 or CN; and

R 46 represents one or more substituents selected from H, F, Cl, CH 3 , CF 3 , OCF 3 or CN,

wherein the amount of the compound, salt, solvate, or prodrug of Formula I is about 5 mg, about 10 mg or about 15 mg.

2. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein

R 44 is H, CH 3 or CH 3 CH 2 ;

R 45 is C 1-6 -alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, C 3-6 -cycloalkyl, C 4-8 -cycloalkenyl, C 4-8 -bicycloalkenyl, aryl or heteroaryl, any of which can be optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from C 1-6 -alkyl, CF 3 , F, CN or OCF 3 ;

L is phenyl, indenyl, benzoxazol-2-yl or 4,4-dimethylcyclohexenyl, any of which can be optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from F, Cl, CH 3 , CF 3 , OCF 3 or CN; and

R 46 is H, F, Cl, CH 3 , CF 3 , OCF 3 or CN.

3. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein L is phenyl, benzoxazol-2-yl or 4,4-dimethylcyclohexenyl, any of which can be optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from F, Cl, CH 3 , CF 3 , OCF 3 or CN.

4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein L is 4-chloro-2-methylphenyl, 4-methyl-2-benzoxazolyl, 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, 2-benzoxazolyl, 4-chloro-3-methylphenyl or 4,4-dimethylcyclohexenyl.

5. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein R 44 is H or CH 3 .

6. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein R 45 is attached to the 3 (meta) or 4 (para) position.
