A series of homochiral sterically hindered mono- and bicyclic amidines was prepared as hypoglycaemic agents by lethargic reaction of O-methylcaprolactim and 3-ethoxy-2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene, respectively, with homochiral cis-2-substituted cyclopentane amines provided by asymmetrical reductive amination of racemic 2-substituted cyclopentanones. All compounds, except the cyclohexylmethyl-isoquinuclidone derivative which inhibited secretion at 100 microM, significantly stimulated insulin secretion 2-8-fold at 10 microM and 100 microM in INS-1 cells. The most potent activator was the 2-cyclopentyl-substituted caprolactam derivative 5e. The stimulatory effects on secretion increased with rising steric hindrance of both the amidine alpha-carbon and the bicyclic amidine moiety itself. Enantiomeric discrimination was observed for the 2-¿(cis-2-bulkysubstituted cyclopentyl)iminohexahydroazepine halides 5e and 5f and for the 3-¿(cis-2-substituted cyclopentyl)imino-2-azabicyclo¿2.2.2?ctane halides 6a and 6c. The amidines depolarized INS-1 cells and generated action potentials, accompanied by a decrease of membrane conductance. Simultaneously [Ca(2+)](i) increased, probably due to Ca(2+)-entry through voltage-dependent Ca(2+)-channels. At high concentrations, where inhibition of secretion was observed, ¿Ca(2+)(i) still rose upon application of the amidines, indicating an additional inhibitory pathway downstream to the elevation of ¿Ca(2+)(i). Even at high concentrations (100 microM), the amidines had no toxic effects on insulin secreting INS-1 cells.
