Abstract
The invention concerns novel renin-inhibitory compounds which contain an amino-substituted heterocycle at the P.sub.2 position. These are useful for treating renin-associated hypertension, congestive heart failure, glaucoma, hyperaldosteronism, and diseases caused by retroviruses including HTLV-I and -III. Processes for preparing the compounds, compositions containing them, and methods of using them are included. Also included is a diagnostic method which uses the compounds to determine the presence of renin-associated hypertension, or hyperaldosteronism.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Renin is a natural enzyme which is released into the blood from the kidney. It cleaves its natural substrate, angiotensinogen, releasing decapeptide, angiotensin I. This is in turn cleaved by converting enzyme in the lung, kidney and other tissues to an octapeptide, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II raises blood pressure both directly by causing arteriolar constriction and indirectly by stimulating release of the sodium-retaining hormone aldosterone from the adrenal gland causing a rise in extracellular fluid volume. Inhibitors of renin have been sought as agents for control of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and hyperaldosteronism.

The P.sub.2 in the present invention may have a substituent (E): E=(Z), (AC) or (CHO), represented by the following abbreviation; ATM(E). The substituent is on the exocyclic nitrogen as shown by ##STR28##
The compounds include solvates and hydrates and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the basic compounds of formula I above.
The term pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt is intended to mean a relatively nontoxic acid addition salt either from inorganic or organic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, benzoic, gluconic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce a salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt form with a base.
The compounds of the present invention possess one or more chiral centers and each center may exist in the R(D) or S(L) configuration. The present invention includes all enantiomeric, epimeric and tautomeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof.
The S isomer at the P.sub.2 position is the more preferred.
Some of the above novel compounds may be prepared in accordance with well-known procedures for preparing compounds from their constituent amino acids. Other of the novel compounds of the present invention are prepared by a step-wise procedure or by a fragment coupling procedure depending upon the particular final product desired.
One process for preparing a compound of formula I comprises:
a) reacting an N-protecting amino acid with a desired amine to produce the corresponding amide,
b) deprotecting the N-protecting group of said amide and coupling it with a desired acid to produce a dipeptidyl like amide, and
c) further deprotecting the side chain functions on the amide to produce the desired compound of formula I and converting, if desired, to a pharmaceutically salt thereof.
An alternate process for preparing a compound of formula I wherein C' is FCS or FCO comprises:
a) reacting an amino acid ester with TROC protection on the side chain with an N-protected amino acid to produce a dipeptide ester which is then hydrolyzed to the corresponding dipeptide acid,
b) coupling the product of step a) with an amine selected from the group consisting of FCS or FCO to produce the TROC-protected compound of claim 1, and
c) deprotecting further, if desired, to produce a compound of claim 1 and converting, if desired, to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
This is illustrated in Scheme II below.
The following schemes illustrate novel methods of preparing certain compounds of the present invention.
According to Scheme I below, .alpha.-BOC,(2'-(Z)-amino-4'-thiazolyl)alanine (1) is reacted with CST-AEM (2) to form an amide (3). The reaction takes place in an inert solvent such as CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 or DMF with HOBT and DCC at temperatures of -20.degree. to 30.degree. C. The BOC protecting group of (3) is removed with HCl gas or TFA in an inert solvent such as CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 to give the amine (4). This amine (4) is coupled with SMO-PHE (5) in an inert solvent such as CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 or DMF with HOBT and DCC at temperatures from -20.degree. to 30.degree. C. to form (6), a compound of the present invention. Furthermore, hydrogenolysis of (6) (removal of Z) by stirring in methanol under a hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of 10-20% palladium on carbon catalyst, with or without the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid, forms (7) a compound of the present invention.
Scheme I can be modified to include the (TROC) protecting group in place of (Z) in order to improve the synthetic route and provide for the preparation of compounds containing FCO and FCS. The TROC protecting group is useful as it is easier to remove in going from step (6) to (7). The FCO or FCS group is more stable in this situation. ##STR29##
The strategy of peptide chain assembly and selection and removal of protecting groups is discussed in Chapter 1, "The Peptide Bond," in "The Peptides. Analysis, Synthesis, Biology," E. Gross and J. Meienhofer, Eds., Academic Press, New York, N.Y., 1979, Vol. 1, pp. 42-44.
The DCC/HOBT method of coupling is well-known to those skilled in the art and is discussed in Chapter 5, "The Carbodiimide Method" by D. H. Rich and J. Singh in "The Peptides Analysis, Synthesis, Biology," E. Gross and J. Meienhofer, Eds., Academic Press, New York, N.Y., 1979, Vol. 1, pp. 241-261.
Peptide coupling depends on activating the carboxy terminus of the amino protected amino acid and condensing it with another peptide containing a free amino terminus. In addition to the DCC coupling method described above, other methods of activating the carboxyl group of a protected amino acid include:
1) The azide method--described in Chapter 4 of the above reference.
2) The mixed anhydride method--described in Chapter 6 of the above reference.
3) The active ester method--described in Chapter 3 of the above reference.
The term lower alkyl refers to straight or branched chain alkyl radicals containing from one to six carbon atoms including but not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, 2-methylhexyl, n-pentyl, 1-methylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 2-methylpentyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, n-hexyl, and the like.
The term lower alkanoyl means refers to alkanoyl groups of from one to four carbon atoms.
The compounds of the present invention are useful for treating renin-associated hypertension, congestive heart failure, hyperaldosteronism, and other related illnesses. They are useful as agents in treating glaucoma. They are also useful as diagnostic tools for determining the presence of renin-associated hypertension or hyperaldosteronism.
Pharmaceutical compositions which comprise an effective amount of the compound in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are part of the present invention. An important aspect of the present invention is a method of treating renin-associated hypertension in a mammal which comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of a compound of the invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the mammal.
Another equally important aspect of the present invention is a method of treating hyperaldosteronism in a mammal which comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of a compound of the invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the mammal.
An additional aspect of the present invention is a method for treating congestive heart failure in a mammal which comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of a compound in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the mammal.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is a process for preparing a compound of formula I according to claim 1.
The effectiveness of the aforementioned compounds is determined by a test for in vitro renin inhibitory activity. This activity is determined by a standard radioimmunoassay for angiotensin I. In this assay the enzyme, renin, incubated for 2 hours at 37.degree. C. in the presence of a substrate, angiotensinogen, generates the product, angiotensin I. Test compounds are added to the incubation mixture. Relative activity is r reported as the IC.sub.50, which is the molar concentration of test compound causing a 50% inhibition of the renin activity.
The compounds of the present invention have the advantages of increased stability toward chymotrypsin hydrolysis, which is described by J Med Chem, Vol. 31, No. 2, page 292, 1988. This property makes the compounds more stable in vivo and therefore they exhibit a longer duration of in vivo activity.
Compounds of this invention have also demonstrated in vivo activity represented by lowering blood pressure in conscious monkeys. In vivo effectiveness is determined by their effect on blood pressure in unanesthetized, sodium-deplete, normotensive Rhesus or Cynomolgus monkeys.
The following describes this test. Monkeys were acclimated to a low sodium diet and trained to rest quietly in a restraining device. Next, vascular access ports were surgically implanted for intravenous administration of test compounds and direct measurement of blood pressure. At least one week was allowed for recovery from surgery before sodium depletion was accomplished by giving furosemide (1 mg/kg/day, IM) for 4 consecutive days. On the seventh day animals were removed from their home cage and placed in the restraining device. After a 20- to 30-minute acclimation period, a control blood sample (arterial) was taken for determination of plasma renin activity (PRA). Next, either vehicle (absolute ethanol, 0.2 mL/kg) or test compound (5 mg/kg) was infused intravenously over a 10-minute period.
Blood pressure was monitored continuously throughout the entire pre- and post-dose period. Blood samples were taken at the mid-point of the infusion and at 0, 15, 30, and 60 minutes post infusion.
The compounds of the present invention also possess the advantage of increased selectivity toward the renin enzyme versus other aspartyl protease enzymes.

As can be seen from the above tables, the compounds of the present invention have a significant effect on the activity of renin and thus are useful for the treatment of hypertension, hyperaldosteronism, and congestive heart failure.
The compounds of the instant invention, when tested by measuring the effect on intraocular pressure in rabbits as described by Tinjum, A. M., Acta Ophthalmologica 50, 677 (1972), are expected to exhibit antiglaucoma activity.
For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided compound. In the tablet the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powder and tablets preferably contain from 5 to 10 to about 70 percent of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, tragacanth, methylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.
The compound of the present invention may be administered orally, buccally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, rectally, or topically in dosage unit formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles as desired. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques.
For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter is first melted, and the active ingredient is dispersed homogeneously therein by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool, and thereby solidify.
Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water/propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethyleneglycol solution. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and other well-known suspending agents.
Also included are solid form preparations which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for either oral or parenteral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions These particular solid form preparations are most conveniently provided in unit dosage form and as such are used to provide a single liquid dosage unit. Alternately, sufficient solid may be provided so that after conversion to liquid form, multiple individual liquid doses may be obtained by measuring predetermined volumes of the liquid form preparation as with a syringe, teaspoon, or other volumetric container. When multiple liquid doses are so prepared, it is preferred to maintain the unused portion of said liquid doses at low temperature (i.e., under refrigeration) in order to retard possible decomposition. The solid form preparations intended to be converted to liquid form may contain, in addition to the active material, flavorants, colorants, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like. The liquid utilized for preparing the liquid form preparation may be water, isotonic water, ethanol, glycerine, propylene glycol, and the like, as well as mixtures thereof. Naturally, the liquid utilized will be chosen with regard to the route of administration, for example, liquid preparations containing large amounts of ethanol are not suitable for parenteral use.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form.
The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from 1 mg to 500 mg, preferably 5 to 100 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active ingredient. The compositions can, if desired, also contain other compatible therapeutic agents.
In therapeutic use as renin inhibitors, the mammalian dosage range for a 70-kg subject is from 1 to 2500 mg per day or preferably 25 to 750 mg per day optionally in divided portions. The dosages, however, per day may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with small dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired.
In therapeutic use as an antiglaucoma agent, the compound may also be administered as a topical corneal application of a solution containing the compound in amounts as known to one skilled in the treatment.
The present invention includes combinations of novel renin-inhibiting compounds of formula I with one or more antihypertensive agents selected from the group consisting of diuretics, .alpha.- and/or .beta.-adrenergic blocking agents, calcium channel blocking agents, central nervous system-acting agents, adrenergic neuron blocking agents, vasodilators, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and other antihypertensive agents.
