<p>A novel process for the preparation of proline derivatives of formula (I) wherein,R1 is selected from C1-7-alkyl or from formula (II) wherein R4 is selected from C1-7-alkyl, halogen-C1-7-alkyl or from phenyl which is optionally substituted by halogen; R2 is selected from halogen or halogen-C1-7-alkyl; and R3 is selected from hydrogen, halogen, halogen-C1-7-alkyl, C1-7-alkoxy, halogen-C1-7-alkoxy or from a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring containing one or two nitrogen atoms, the ring which is optionally substituted by C1-7-alkyl or halogen is described. The proline derivatives of the formula I are preferential inhibitors of the cysteine protease Cathepsin S and are therefore useful to treat metabolic diseases like diabetes, atherosclerosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease and diabetic nephropathy.</p> |
