Benzimidazoles/Imidazoles Linked to a Fibrinogen Receptor Antagonist Template Having Vitronectin Receptor Antagonist Activity

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to pharmaceutically active compounds which inhibit the vitronectin receptor and are useful for the treatment of inflammation, cancer and cardiovascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis, and diseases wherein bone resorption is a factor, such as osteoporosis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Integrins are a superfamily of cell adhesion receptors, which are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on a variety of cells. These cell surface adhesion receptors include gpIIb/IIIa, the fibrinogen receptor, and .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3, the vitronectin receptor. The fibrinogen receptor gpIIb/IIIa is expressed on the platelet surface and it mediates platelet aggregation and the formation of a hemostatic clot at the site of a bleeding wound. Philips, et al, Blood., 1988, 71, 831. The vitronectin receptor .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 is expressed on a number of cells, including endothelial, smooth muscle, osteoclast, and tumor cells, and, thus, it has a variety of functions. The .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 receptor expressed on the membrane of osteoclast cells mediates the bone resportion process and contributes to the development of osteoporosis. Ross, et al., J. Biol Chem., 1987, 262, 7703. The .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 receptor expressed on human aortic smooth muscle cells stimulates their migration into neointima, which leads to the formation of atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. Brown, et al, Cardiovascular Res., 1994, 28, 1815. Additionally, a recent study has shown that a .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 antagonist is able to promote tumor regression by inducing apoptosis of angiogenic blood vessels. Brooks, et al, Cell, 1994, 79, 1157. Thus, agents that would block the vitronectin receptor would be useful in treating diseases mediated by this receptor, such as osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, restenosis and cancer.
The vitronectin receptor is known to bind to bone matrix proteins, such as osteopontin, bone sialoprotein and thrombospondin, which contain the tri-peptide Arg-Gly-Asp (or RGD) motif. Thus, Horton, et al., Exp. Cell Res. 1991, 195, 368, disclose that RGD-containing peptides and an anti-vitronectin receptor antibody (23C6) inhibit dentine resorption and cell spreading by osteoclasts. In addition, Sato, et al., J. Cell Biol. 1990, 111, 1713 disclose that echistatin, a snake venom peptide which contains the RGD sequence, is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption in tissue culture, and inhibits attachment of osteoclasts to bone. Fisher, et al., Endocrinology 1993, 132, 1411, has further shown that echistatin inhibits bone resorption in vivo in the rat. Bertolini et al., J. Bone Min. Res., 6, Sup. 1, S146, 252 have shown that cylco-S,S-N.sup..alpha. -acetyl-cysteinyl-N.sup..alpha. -methyl-argininyl-glycyl-aspartyl-penicillamine inhibits osteoclast attachment to bone. EP 528 587 and 528 586 report substituted phenyl derivatives which inhibit osteoclast mediated bone resorption.
Alig et al., EP 0 381 033, Hartman, et al., EP 0 540,334, Blackburn, et al., WO 93/08174, Bondinell, et al., WO 93/00095, Blackburn, et al. WO 95/04057, Egbertson, et al, EP 0 478 328, Sugihara, et al. EP 529,858, Porter, et al., EP 0 542 363, and Fisher, et al., EP 0 635 492 disclose certain compounds that are useful for inhibiting the fibrinogen receptor. It has now been discovered that certain appropriately substituted compounds are potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor. In particular, it has been discovered that such compounds are more potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor and such compounds contain a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This invention comprises novel compounds which are more potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor. The compounds of the instant invention comprise a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template that is linked to a nitrogen-containing five-membered ring, which is optionally fused to an aromatic six-membered ring. The fibrinogen receptor antagonist template is substituted by an aliphatic substituent which contains an acidic moiety. It is preferred that about fourteen intervening covalent bonds via the shortest intramolecular path will exist between the acidic group of the fibrinogen receptor antagonist template and the nitrogen of the optionally fused five-membered ring.
As used herein, the term "fibrinogen receptor antagonist template" means the core structure of a fibrinogen receptor antagonist, said core being substituted by an acidic group and said core being linked to an organic group substituted with a basic nitrogen moiety. A fibrinogen receptor antagonist is an agent that inhibits the binding of fibrinogen to the platelet-bound fibrinogen receptor GPIIb-IIIa. It is an object of this invention that a fibrinogen receptor antagonist is converted to a vitronectin receptor antagonist by replacing the organic group substituted with a basic nitrogen moiety in a fibrinogen receptor antagonist with an optionally fused nitrogen-containing five-membered ring, preferably an imidazole ring and, most preferably, a benzimidazole ring.

Compounds of the formula (I)-(V) are prepared, for example, by reacting a compound of formula (XIX) with a compound of formula (XX), wherein L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 are groups which may react to form a covalent bond in the moiety W, by methods generally known in the art. ##STR27##
Typical methods include coupling to form amide bonds, nucleophilic displacement reactions and palladium catalyzed couplings. For instance, when W contains an ether or amine linkage, the bond may be formed by a displacement reaction, and one of L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 will contain an amino or hydroxy group and the other will contain a displaceable group, such as a chloro, bromo or iodo group. When W contains an amide bond, typically one of L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 will contain an amino group, and the other will contain a carboxylic acid group. In another approach, L.sup.1 may be an aryl or heteroaryl bromide, iodide or trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy derivative and L.sup.2 may contain an amino group and the amide linkage may be formed by palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation with carbon monoxide in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide or toluene.
It will be apparent that the precise identity of L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 will be dependent upon the site of the linkage being formed. General methods for preparing the linkage --(CHR").sub.r --U--(CHR").sub.s --V-- are described, for example, in EP-A 0372 486 and EP-A 0 381 033 and EP-A 0 478 363, which are incorporated herein by reference.
For instance, if V is CONH, L.sup.1 may be --NH.sub.2, L.sup.2 may be OH (as in an acid) or Cl (as in an acid chloride), and R.sup.6" may be W--(CR'.sub.2).sub.q --Z--(CR'R.sup.10) .sub.r --U--(CR'.sub.2).sub.s --C(O), with any functional groups optionally protected. For example, R.sup.6' may be (benzyloxycarbonyl-amidino)benzoyl- or (N.sup..alpha. -Boc,N.sup.guan -Tos)arginyl-. When L.sup.2 is OH, a coupling agent is used.
Similarly, if V is NHCO, L.sup.1 may be --CO.sub.2 H or CO--Cl, L.sup.2 may be --NH.sub.2, and R.sup.6" may be W--(CR'.sub.2).sub.q --Z--(CR'R.sup.10).sub.r --U--(CR'.sub.2).sub.s --. For example, R.sup.6" may be (benzyloxycarbonyl-amidino)phenyl, (benzyloxycarbonylamino)methylbenzyl- or 6-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)hexyl-.
Where V is NHSO.sub.2, L.sup.1 may be SO.sub.2 Cl, L.sup.2 may be --NH.sub.2 and R.sup.6" may be as above. Where V is SO.sub.2 NH, L.sup.1 may be --NH.sub.2 and L.sup.2 may be SO.sub.2 Cl. Methods to prepare such sulfonyl chlorides are disclosed, for instance, in J. Org. Chem., 23, 1257 (1958).
If V is CH.dbd.CH, L.sup.1 may be --CHO, L.sup.2 may be CH.dbd.P--Ph.sub.3 and R.sup.6" may be W--(CR'.sub.2).sub.q --Z--(CR'R.sup.10).sub.r --U--(CR'.sub.2).sub.s --. Alternately, L.sup.1 may be CH.dbd.P--Ph.sub.3, L.sup.2 may be CHO, e.g., R.sup.6" may be W--(CR'.sub.2).sub.q --Z--(CR'R.sup.10).sub.r --U--(CR'.sub.2).sub.s-1 --CHO.
Where V is CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 may be obtained by reduction of a suitably protected compound wherein V is CH.dbd.CH.
Where V is CH.sub.2 O, CH.sub.2 N or C.tbd.C, L.sup.1 may be --OH, --NH or --C.tbd.C H, respectively; L.sup.2 may be --Br; and R.sup.6" may be W--(CR'.sub.2).sub.q --Z--(CR'R.sup.10).sub.r --U--(CR'.sub.2).sub.s --. For example, R.sup.6" may be (benzyloxycarbonylamino)-methylbenzyl- or 2-(N-benzyl-4-piperidinyl)-ethyl. Similarly where U or V is OCH.sub.2, NR'CH.sub.2 or C.tbd.C, L.sup.1 may be --CH.sub.2 Br and L.sup.2 may be --OH, --NH or --C.tbd.C H, respectively. Alternately, when U or V is C.tbd.C, L.sup.1 may be Br, I or CF.sub.3 SO.sub.3, L.sup.2 may be C.tbd.C H and the coupling may be catalyzed by palladium and a base.
Compounds wherein V is CHOHCH.sub.2 may be prepared from a suitably protected compound where V is CH.dbd.CH by the procedure disclosed in J. Org. Chem., 54, 1354 (1989).
Compounds wherein V is CH.sub.2 CHOH may be obtained from a suitably protected compound where V is CH.dbd.CH by hydroboration and basic oxidation as disclosed in Tet. Lett., 31, 231 (1990).
Compounds of the formula (I)-(V), wherein the fibrinogen receptor antagonist template is of the formula (VI) are prepared by the general methods described in Schemes I-III. ##STR28##
Methyl (.+-.)-7-carboxy4-methyl-3-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-acetate (I-1), prepared as described by Bondinell, et al. (WO 93/00095), is converted to an activated form of the carboxylic acid using, for example, EDC and HOBT or SOCl.sub.2, and the activated form is subsequently reacted with an appropriate amine to afford the corresponding amide I-2. Many additional methods for converting a carboxylic acid to an amide are known, and can be found in standard reference books, such as "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods", Vol. I-VI (published by Wiley-Interscience). The methyl ester of I-2 is hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example, aqueous LiOH in THF or aqueous NaOH in methanol, and the intermediate carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for instance TFA or HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid I-3. Alternatively, the intermediate carboxylate salt can be isolated, if desired. ##STR29##
Conversion of the carboxylic acid moiety of 1-Scheme II to an aldehyde can be accomplished by standard methodology, as described in "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods" (published by Wiley-Interscience). For example, after protection of the aniline nitrogen as its tert-butyl carbamate, the carboxylic acid is converted to the corresponding acid chloride with a suitable reagent, such as thionyl chloride. The tert-butyl carbamate is lost under these conditions. The resulting acid chloride is then reduced to aldehyde 3-Scheme II by hydrogenation over a suitable catalyst, for instance palladium on carbon in the presence of 2,6-lutidine. The aldehyde 3-Scheme II is then converted to the amine 4-Scheme II by reaction with 2-(aminomethyl)benzimidazole in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, such as sodium cyanoborohydride. Alternative methods for converting an aldehyde to an amine are described in "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods" (published by Wiley-Interscience). The basic nitrogen atoms of 4-Scheme II are methylated under modified Eschweiler-Clarke conditions (Sondengam, B. L. et al, Tetrahedron Letters 1973, 261; Borsch, R. F.; Hassid, A. I. J. Org. Chem. 1972, 37, 1673). Thus, reaction of 4-Scheme II with formaldehyde in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, such as sodium cyanoborohydride, gives 5-Scheme II. Saponification of the methyl ester of 5-Scheme II by the methods described earlier gives 6-Scheme II. The methyl ester of 4-Scheme II can be cleaved similarly. ##STR30##
Halogenafion of the aromafic moiety of 1-Scheme III can be accomplished with an appropriate elctrophilic halogenating reagent, such as N-chlorosuccinirnide. The resulting chlorinated derivafive, 2-Scheme III, is then conveted to 3-Scheme III by the methods described in Scheme I.
The core 6-7 fused ring system is prepared of formula (VI) by methods well known in the art, e.g., Hynes, et al., J. Het. Chem., 1988, 25, 1173; Muller, et al., Helv. Chim. Acta., 1982, 65, 2118; Mori, et al., Heterocycles, 1981, 16, 1491. Similarly, methods for preparing benzazepines, 1,4-benzothiazepines, 1,4-benzoxazepines and 1,4-benzodiazepines are known and are disclosed, for instance, in Bondinell, et al., International Patent Application WO 93/00095.
A representative method for preparing the benzodiazepine nucleus is given by Schemes IV and V. A representative method for preparing a benzazepine nucleus is given by Scheme VI. A representative method for preparing a benzothiazepine is given by Scheme VII. An benzoxazepine nucleus may be prepared in the same manner as Scheme VII, except substting a benzyl alcohol for a benzyl thiol. ##STR31##
The simple tri-substituted benzene starting materials are commercially available or prepared by routine methods well known in the art.
Schemes VIII-XI are illustrative of the methods for preparing certain compounds of the instant invention. In schemes VIII-X, a covalent bond of the group W is prepared by a nucleophilic displacement reaction.
In Scheme VIII, 4-[2-(methylamino)acetyl]phenol hydrochloride (Recl. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas 1949, 68, 960) is N-protected with a suitable nitrogen protecting group, such as a tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) group, to provide the N-protected derivative 2-Scheme VIII. ##STR32##
Other standard nitrogen protecting groups, such as those described in Greene "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", may be chosen such that the protecting group employed is compatible with the subsequent chemistry and can be removed selectively under conditions which will not interfere with other functionality in the molecule. Alkylation of the phenol moiety of compound 2-Scheme VIII to afford the aryloxyacetic acid derivative 3-Scheme VIII can be accomplished by reaction with a haloacetic acid ester, for instance benzyl bromoacetate, under basic conditions in a neutral solvent. Generally, K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 in refluxing acetone or 2-butanone gives acceptable results, but other bases, such as Li.sub.2 CO.sub.3 or Cs.sub.2 CO.sub.3, and other solvents, such as DMF, THF, or DME, might also be used. The nitrogen protecting group of 3-Scheme VIII is removed under conditions appropriate for selective deprotection of the specific protecting group employed. For example, the BOC group of 3-Scheme VIII can be removed under acidic conditions, such as 4 M HCl in 1,4-dioxane or TFA in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, to afford amine 4-Scheme VIII as the corresponding ammonium salt. Conversion of compound 4-Scheme VIII to the bis-benzimidazole derivative 5-Scheme VIII can be accomplished by alkylation with 2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole in a solvent mixture of CH.sub.3 CN and CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 in the presence of Et.sub.3 N. Subsequent removal of the ester group of compound 5-Scheme VIII under appropriate conditions gives compound 6-Scheme VIII. The conditions selected for ester removal must be appropriate for the specific ester present as well as compatible with the other functionality in the molecule. For instance, the benzyl ester of 5-Scheme VIII can be removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as Pd on carbon, in an inert solvent, generally MeOH, EtOH, or acetic acid, to afford 6-Scheme VIII.
In Scheme IX, commercially available andrenolone hydrochloride (1-Scheme 2) is N-protected as discussed in Scheme 1 to provide the Cbz derivative 2-Scheme 2. ##STR33##
Dialkylation of 2-Scheme IX by reaction with a haloacetic acid ester, for instance methyl bromoacetate, under basic conditions in a neutral solvent, provides the 1,2-phenylenedioxydiacetic acid derivative 3-Scheme IX. K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 in refluxing acetone generally gives acceptable results, but other bases and solvents, such as those discussed in Scheme VIII, might also be used. Removal of the nitrogen protecting group of 3-Scheme IX by hydrogenolysis over a Pd/C catalyst in a solvent mixture of EtOAc and MeOH is accompanied by concomitant reduction of the ketone to afford aminoalcohol 4-Scheme IX. N-alkylation of compound 4-Scheme IX with 2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole in a solvent mixture of CH.sub.3 CN and CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 in the presence of Et.sub.3 N gives the mono-benzimidazole derivative 5-Scheme IX. Subsequent removal of the ester group of 5-Scheme IX under appropriate conditions, as discussed in Scheme VIII, gives compound 6-Scheme IX. Generally, a methyl ester, such as that present in 5-Scheme IX, is removed by hydrolysis in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide, such as LiOH, NaOH, or KOH, in an aqueous solvent, typically MeOH, EtOH, or THF.
In Scheme X, commercially available andrenolone hydrochloride (1-Scheme X) is N-protected as described in Scheme VIII to provide the BOC derivative 2-Scheme X. ##STR34##
Dialkylation of 2-Scheme X as discussed in Scheme IX affords 3-Scheme X. The nitrogen protecting group of 3-Scheme X is removed as discussed in Scheme VIII to afford amine 4-Scheme X as the corresponding ammonium salt. Alkylation of 4-Scheme X with 1-BOC-2-(bromomethyl)benzimidazole in a solvent mixture of THF and CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 in the presence of Et.sub.3 N gives the mono-benzimidazole derivative 5-Scheme X. Subsequent removal of the BOC group of 5-Scheme X as discussed in Scheme VIII delivers 6-Scheme X. Removal of the ester group of 6-Scheme X as discussed in Schemes 1 and 2 gives 7-Scheme IX. Alternatively, the ester group of 5-Scheme X might be removed first, followed by removal of the BOC group.
In Scheme XI, the moiety W is prepared by an amide coupling reaction. ##STR35##
Initially, ethyl 3-[4-(carboxy)phenyl]amino]propionic acid (2-Scheme XI) is prepared by Michael-type addition of 4-(carboxy)aniline (1-Scheme XI) to ethyl acrylate in acetic acid as described in Chem. Ber., 91, 2239, 1958. The carboxyl in compound 2-Scheme XI is converted to the acid chloride with thionyl chloride, and the acid chloride is condensed with 2-(aminomethyl)benzimidazole dihydrochioride hydrate with diisopropylethylamine in dichloromethane to form compound 3-Scheme XI. The ethyl ester 3-Scheme XI is saponified with sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanol to give compound 4-Scheme XI; alternatively the ester can be converted to the carboxylic acid with other metal hydroxides or carbonates in a suitable solvent. ##STR36##
The starting material for the formula 1g-Scheme XII compounds are prepared following the procedures in Egbertson et al., J. Med. Chem., 1994, 37, 2537-3551 which discloses general methods to alkylate the phenol of an N-protected tyrosine derivative, remove the N-protecting group, and sulfonylate the amine. Using benzyl 4-bromobutyrate as the alkylating agent, intermediate 1d-Scheme XII was prepared. Removal of the benzyl ester and reaction with ortho-phenylenediamine under standard conditions afforded the benzimidazole 1f-Scheme XII. Finally, saponification of the methyl ester yielded the target compound 1 g-Scheme XII.
Intermediate compounds of formula (XXX) may be prepared from suitably protected amino acids and phenyl-1,2-diamines or 2-nitro-anilines which are commercially available or prepared by methods available to those skilled in the art according to the Scheme (XIII) and (XIV). ##STR37##
Amide coupling reagents as used herein denote reagents which may be used to form peptide bonds. Typical coupling methods employ carbodiimides, activated anhydrides and esters and acyl halides. Reagents such as EDC, DCC, DPPA, PPA, BOP reagent, HOBt, N-hydroxysuccinirnide and oxalyl chloride are typical.
Coupling methods to form peptide bonds are generally well known to the art. The methods of peptide synthesis generally set forth by Bodansky et al., THE PRACTICE OF PEPTIDE SYNTHESIS, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1984, Ali et al., in J. Med. Chem., 29, 984 (1986) and J. Med. Chem., 30, 2291 (1987) are generally illustrative of the technique and are incorporated herein by reference.
Typically, the amine or aniline is coupled via its free amino group to an appropriate carboxylic acid substrate using a suitable carbodiimide coupling agent, such as N,N' dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC), optionally in the presence of catalysts such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP). Other methods, such as the formation of activated esters, anhydrides or acid halides, of the free carboxyl of a suitably protected acid substrate, and subsequent reaction with the free amine of a suitably protected amine, optionally in the presence of a base, are also suitable. For example, a protected Boc-amino acid or Cbz-amidino benzoic acid is treated in an anhydrous solvent, such as methylene chloride or tetrahydrofuran(THF), in the presence of a base, such as N-methyl morpholine, DMAP or a trialkylamine, with isobutyl chloroformate to form the "activated anhydride", which is subsequently reacted with the free amine of a second protected amino acid or aniline.
The compounds of formula (XIX) and (XX) are commercially available or are prepared by methods known in the art such as illustrated herein disclosed in standard reference books, like the COMPENDIUM OF ORGANIC SYNTHETIC METHODS, Vol. I-VI (Wiley-Interscience). A generally applicable route to benzimidazoles is disclosed in Nestor et al, J. Med. Chem. 1984, 27, 320. Representative methods for preparing compounds of formula (XX) are also common to the art and may be found, for instance, in EP-A 0 381 033.
Acid addition salts of the compounds are prepared in a standard manner in a suitable solvent from the parent compound and an excess of an acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydrofluoric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, trifluoroacetic, maleic, succinic or methanesulfonic. Certain of the compounds form inner salts or zwitterions which may be acceptable. Cationic salts are prepared by treating the parent compound with an excess of an alkaline reagent, such as a hydroxide, carbonate or alkoxide, containing the appropriate cation; or with an appropriate organic amine. Cations such as Li.sup.+, Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, Ca.sup.++, Mg.sup.++ and NH.sub.4.sup.+ are specific examples of cations present in pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
This invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound according to formula (I)-(V) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Accordingly, the compounds of formula (I)-(V) may be used in the manufacture of a medicament. Pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds of formula (I)-(V) prepared as hereinbefore described may be formulated as solutions or lyophilized powders for parenteral administration. Powders may be reconstituted by addition of a suitable diluent or other pharmaceutically acceptable carrier prior to use. The liquid formulation may be a buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution. Examples of suitable diluents are normal isotonic saline solution, standard 5% dextrose in water or buffered sodium or ammonium acetate solution. Such formulation is especially suitable for parenteral administration, but may also be used for oral administration or contained in a metered dose inhaler or nebulizer for insufflation. It may be desirable to add excipients such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, hydroxy cellulose, acacia, polyethylene glycol, mannitol, sodium chloride or sodium citrate.
Alternately, these compounds may be encapsulated, tableted or prepared in a emulsion or syrup for oral administration. Pharmaceutically acceptable solid or liquid carriers may be added to enhance or stabilize the composition, or to facilitate preparation of the composition. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, calcium sulfate dihydrate, terra alba, magnesium stearate or stearic acid, talc, pectin, acacia, agar or gelatin. Liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, saline and water. The carrier may also include a sustained release material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or with a wax. The amount of solid carrier varies but, preferably, will be between about 20 mg to about 1 g per dosage unit. The pharmaceutical preparations are made following the conventional techniques of pharmacy involving milling, mixing, granulating, and compressing, when necessary, for tablet forms; or milling, mixing and filling for hard gelatin capsule forms. When a liquid carrier is used, the preparation will be in the form of a syrup, elixir, emulsion or an aqueous or non-aqueous suspension. Such a liquid formulation may be administered directly p.o. or filled into a soft gelatin capsule.
For rectal administration, the compounds of this invention may also be combined with excipients such as cocoa butter, glycerin, gelatin or polyethylene glycols and molded into a suppository.
The compounds described herein are antagonists of the vitronectin receptor, and are useful for treating diseases wherein the underlying pathology is attributable to ligand or cell which interacts with the vitronectin receptor. For instance, these compounds are useful for the treatment of diseases wherein loss of the bone matrix creates pathology. Thus, the instant compounds are useful for the treatment of ostoeporosis, hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease, hypercalcernia of malignancy, osteolytic lesions produced by bone metastasis, bone loss due to immobilization or sex hormone deficiency. The compounds of this invention are also believed to have utility as antitumor, anti-angiogenic, antiinflammatory and anti-metastatic agents, and be useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis and restenosis.
The compound is administered either orally or parenterally to the patient, in a manner such that the concentration of drug is sufficient to inhibit bone resorption, or other such indication. The pharmaceutical composition containing the peptide is administered at an oral dose of between about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg in a manner consistent with the condition of the patient. Preferably the oral dose would be about 0.5 to about 20 mg/kg. For acute therapy, parenteral administration is preferred. An intravenous infusion of the peptide in 5% dextrose in water or normal saline, or a similar formulation with suitable excipients, is most effective, although an intramuscular bolus injection is also useful. Typically, the parenteral dose will be about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg; preferably between 0.1 and 20 mg/kg. The compounds are administered one to four times daily at a level to achieve a total daily dose of about 0.4 to about 400 mg/kg/day. The precise level and method by which the compounds are administered is readily determined by one routinely skilled in the art by comparing the blood level of the agent to the concentration required to have a therapeutic effect.
The compounds may be tested in one of several biological assays to determine the concentration of compound which is required to have a given pharmacological effect.
Inhibition of Vitronectin Binding
Solid-Phase [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260 Binding to .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 : Human placenta or human platelet .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 (0.1-0.3 mg/mL) in buffer T (containing 2 mM CaCl.sub.2 and 1% octylglucoside) was diluted with buffer T containing 1 mM CaCl.sub.2, 1 mM MnCl.sub.2, 1 mM MgCl.sub.2 (buffer A) and 0.05% NaN.sub.3, and then immediately added to 96-well ELISA plates (Corning, New York, N.Y.) at 0.1 mL per well. 0.1-0.2 .mu.g of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 was added per well. The plates were incubated overnight at 4.degree. C. At the time of the experiment, the wells were washed once with buffer A and were incubated with 0.1 mL of 3.5% bovine serum albumin in the same buffer for 1 hr at room temperature. Following incubation the wells were aspirated completely and washed twice with 0.2 mL buffer A.
Compounds were dissolved in 100% DMSO to give a 2 mM stock solution, which was diluted with binding buffer (15 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl.sub.2, 1 mM MnCl.sub.2, 1 mM MgCl.sub.2) to a final compound concentration of 100 .mu.M. This solution is then diluted to the required final compound concentration. Various concentrations of unlabeled antagonists (0.001-100 .mu.M) were added to the wells in triplicates, followed by the addition of 5.0 nM of [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260 (65-86 Ci/mmol).
The plates were incubated for 1 hr at room temperature. Following incubation the wells were aspirated completely and washed once with 0.2 mL of ice cold buffer A in a well-to-well fashion. The receptors were solubilized with 0.1 mL of 1% SDS and the bound [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260 was determined by liquid scintillation counting with the addition of 3 mL Ready Safe in a Beckman LS Liquid Scintillation Counter, with 40% efficiency. Nonspecific binding of [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260 was determined in the presence of 2 .mu.M SK&F-107260 and was consistently less than 1% of total radioligand input. The IC.sub.50 (concentration of the antagonist to inhibit 50% binding of [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260) was determined by a nonlinear, least squares curve-fitting routine, which was modified from the LUNDON-2 program. The K.sub.i (dissociation constant of the antagonist) was calculated according to the equation: K.sub.i =IC.sub.50 (1+L/K.sub.d), where L and K.sub.d were the concentration and the dissociation constant of [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260, respectively.
Compounds of the present invention inhibit vitronectin binding to SK&F 107260 in the concentration range of about 0.001 to 50 micromolar.
Compounds of this invention are also tested for in vitro and in vivo bone resorption in assays standard in the art for evaluating inhibition of bone formation, such as the pit formation assay disclosed in EP 528 587, which may also be performed using human osteoclasts in place of rat osteoclasts, and the ovarectomized rat model, described by Wronski et al., Cells and Materials 1991, Sup. 1, 69-74.
Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration Assay
Rat or human aortic smooth muscle cells were used. The cell migration was monitored in a Transwell cell culture chamber by using a polycarbonate membrane with pores of 8 um (Costar). The lower surface of the filter was coated with vitronectin. Cells were suspended in DMEM supplemented with 0.2% bovine serum albumin at a concentration of 2.5-5.0.times.10.sup.6 cells/mL, and were pretreated with test compound at various concentrations for 20 min at 20.degree. C. The solvent alone was used as control. 0.2 mL of the cell suspension was placed in the upper compartment of the chamber. The lower compartment contained 0.6 mL of DMEM supplemented with 0.2% bovine serum albumin. Incubation was carried out at 37.degree. C. in an atmosphere of 95% air/5% CO.sub.2 for 24 hr. After incubation, the non-migrated cells on the upper surface of the filter were removed by gentle scraping. The filter was then fixed in methanol and stained with 10% Giemsa stain. Migration was measured either by a) counting the number of cells that had migrated to the lower surface of the filter or by b) extracting the stained cells with 10% acetic acid followed by determining the absorbance at 600 nM.
PARATHYROIDECTOMIZED RAT MODEL
Each experimental group consists of 5-6 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats are parathyroidectomized (by the vendor, Taconic Farms) 7 days prior to use. Twenty four hours prior to use, circulating ionized calcium levels are measured in whole blood immediately after it has been withdrawn by tail venipuncture into heparinized tubes. Rats are included if ionized Ca level (measured with a Ciba-Corning model 634 calcium pH analyzer) is .sub.-- 1.2 mM/L. The rats are then put on a diet of calcium-free chow and deionized water. At the start of the experiment the rats weigh approximately 100 g. Baseline Ca levels are measured and the rats are administered control vehicle (saline) or compound (dissolved in saline) as a single intravenous (tail vein) bolus injection followed immediately by a single subcutaneous injection of either human parathyroid hormone 1-34 peptide (hPTH1-34, dose 0.2 mg/kg in saline/0.1% bovine serum albumen, Bachem, Ca) or the PTH vehicle. The calcemic response to PTH (and any effect of compound on this response) is measured 2 h after compound/PTH administration.
RAT ULNA DRIFT MODEL
Each experimental group consists of 8-10 male Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats of approximately 30-40 g body weight at the start of the experiment. The agent being tested is administered by an appropriate route as single or multiple daily doses for a period of seven days. Prior to administration of the first dose, the rats are given a single dose of a fluorescent marker (tetracycline 25 mg/kg, or calcein 10 mg/kg) that labels the position of bone forming surfaces at that point in time. After dosing of compound has been completed, the rats are killed and both forelimbs are removed at the elbow, the foot is removed at the ankle and the skin removed. The sample is frozen and mounted vertically on a microtome chuck. Cross sections of the midshaft region of the ulna are cut in the cryostat. The rate of bone resorption is measured morphometrically in the medial-dorsal portion of the cortical bone. The measurement is done as follows: the amount of bone resorbed at the periosteal surface is equal to the distance by which the periosteal surface has advanced towards the fluorescent label which had been incorporated at the endosteal bone formation surface on day zero; this distance is calculated by subtracting the width of bone between the label and the periosteal surface on day 7 from the width on day zero; the resorption rate in microns per day is calculated by dividing the result by 7.
HUMAN OSTEOCLAST RESORPTION ASSAY ("PIT ASSAY")
Aliquots of osteoclastoma-derived cell suspensions are removed from liquid nitrogen strorage, warmed rapidly at 37.degree. C. and washed .times.1 in RPMI-1640 medium by centrifugation (1000 rpm, 5 mins at 40.degree. C.).

The beads are mixed with the cells and the suspension is incubated for 30 mins on ice. The suspension is mixed frequently.
The bead-coated cells are immobilized on a magnet and the remaining cells (osteoclast-rich fraction) are decanted into a sterile 50 ml centrifuge tube.
Fresh medium is added to the bead-coated cells to dislodge any trapped osteoclasts. This wash process is repeated .times.10. The bead-coated cells are discarded.
The osteoclasts are enumerated in a counting chamber, using a large-bore disposable plastic pasteur to charge the chamber with the sample.
The cells are pelleted by centrifugation and the density of osteoclasts adjusted to 1.5.times.10.sup.4 /ml in EMEM medium, supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and 1.7 g/liter of sodium bicarbonate.
3 ml aliquots of the cell suspension (per treatment) are decanted into 15 ml centrifuge tubes. The cells are pelleted by centrifugation.
To each tube 3 ml of the appropriate treatment are added (diluted to 50 uM in the EMEM medium). Also included are appropriate vehicle controls, a positive control (87MEM1 diluted to 100 ug/ml) and an isotype control (IgG2a diluted to 100 ug/ml). Incubate at 37.degree. C. for 30 mins.
0.5 ml aliquots of the cells are seeded onto sterile dentine slices in a 48-well plate and incubated at 37.degree. C. for 2 hours. Each treatment is screened in quadruplicate.
The slices are washed in six changes of warm PBS (10 ml/well in a 6-well plate) and then placed into fresh treatment or control. Incubate at 37.degree. C. for 48 hours.

Pit volumes are determined using the Nikon/Lasertec ILM21W confocal microscope.
INHIBITION OF RGD-MEDIATED GPIIb-IIIa BINDING
Purification of GPIIb-IIIa
Ten units of outdated, washed human platelets (obtained from Red Cross) were lyzed by gentle stirring in 3% octylglucoside, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl.sub.2 at 4.degree. C. for 2 h. The lysate was centrifuged at 100,000 g for 1 h. The supernatant obtained was applied to a 5 mL lentil lectin sepharose 4B column (E.Y. Labs) preequilibrated with 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl.sub.2, 1% octylglucoside (buffer A). After 2 h incubation, the column was washed with 50 mL cold buffer A. The lectin-retained GPIIb- IIIa was eluted with buffer A containing 10% dextrose. All procedures were performed at 4.degree. C. The GPIIb- IIIa obtained was >95% pure as shown by SDS polyacrylarnide gel electrophoresis.
Incorporation of GPIIb-IIIa in Liposomes.
A mixture of phosphatidylserine (70%) and phosphatidylcholine (30%) (Avanti Polar Lipids) were dried to the walls of a glass tube under a stream of nitrogen. Purified GPIIb-IIIa was diluted to a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and mixed with the phospholipids in a protein:phospholipid ratio of 1:3 (w:w). The mixture was resuspended and sonicated in a bath sonicator for 5 min. The mixture was then dialyzed overnight using 12,000-14,000 molecular weight cutoff dialysis tubing against a 1000-fold excess of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2 (with 2 changes). The GPIIb-IIIa-containing liposomes were centrifuged at 12,000 g for 15 min and resuspended in the dialysis buffer at a final protein concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL. The liposomes were stored at -70C. until needed.
Competitive Binding to GPIIb-IIIa
The binding to the fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb-IIIa) was assayed by an indirect competitive binding method using [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260 as an RGD-type ligand. The binding assay was performed in a 96-well filtration plate assembly (Millipore Corporation, Bedford, Mass.) using 0.22 um hydrophilic durapore membranes. The wells were precoated with 0.2 mL of 10 .mu.g/mL polylysine (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.) at room temperature for 1 h to block nonspecific binding. Various concentrations of unlabeled benzadiazapines were added to the wells in quadruplicate. [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260 was applied to each well at a final concentration of 4.5 nM, followed by the addition of 1 .mu.g of the purified platelet GPIIb-IIIa-containing liposomes. The mixtures were incubated for 1 h at room temperature. The GPIIb-IIIa-bound [3H]-SK&F-107260 was seperated from the unbound by filtration using a Millipore filtration manifold, followed by washing with ice-cold buffer (2 times, each 0.2 mL). Bound radioactivity remaining on the filters was counted in 1.5 mL Ready Solve (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, Calif.) in a Beckman Liquid Scintillation Counter (Model LS6800), with 40% efficiency. Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 2 .mu.M unlabeled SK&F-107260 and was consistently less than 0.14% of the total radioactivity added to the samples. All data points are the mean of quadruplicate determinations.
Competition binding data were analyzed by a nonlinear least-squares curve fitting procedure. This method provides the IC50 of the antagonists (concentration of the antagonist which inhibits specific binding of [.sup.3 H]-SK&F-107260 by 50% at equilibrium). The IC50 is related to the equilibrium dissociation constant (Ki) of the antagonist based on the Cheng and Prusoff equation: Ki=IC50/(1+L/Kd), where L is the concentration of [3H]-SK&F-107260 used in the competitive binding assay (4.5 nM), and K.sub.d is the dissociation constant of [3H]-SK&F-107260 which is 4.5 nM as determined by Scatchard analysis
Compounds of the present invention inhibit the vitronectin binding to SK&F 007260 with a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is about ten-fold greater than that for the fibrinogen receptor. Preferred compounds have a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is thirty-fold greater than that at the fibrinogen receptor. The most preferred compounds have a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is a hundred-fold greater than that at the fibrinogen receptor.

The examples which follow are intended to in no way limit the scope of this invention, but are provided to illustrate how to make and use the compounds of this invention. Many other embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
