Substituted 3-aminopiperidines 3 were evaluated as DPP-4 inhibitors. The inhibitors showed good DPP-4 potency with superb selectivity over other peptidases (QPP, DPP8, and DPP9). Selected DPP-4 inhibitors were further evaluated for their hERG potassium channel, calcium channel, Cyp2D6, and pharmacokinetic profiles.
