The present invention relates to biaryl sulfonamides and their use as, for example, novel metalloproteinase inhibitors.
Metalloproteinases, including matrix metalloproteinases and aggrecanases, are known to have a role in the breakdown of connective tissue. Matrix metalloproteinases (“MMPs”) constitute a superfamily of proteolytic enzymes that are genetically related and capable of degrading almost all the constituents of extracellular matrix and basement membrane that restrict cell movement. Aggrecanases are members of the ADAMTS (A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) family of proteins. Aggrecanase-1 and aggrecanase-2 have been designated ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5, respectively (Tang B L, Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2001, 33, 33-44).
The ADAMTS family is involved in cleaving aggrecan, a cartilage component also known as the large aggregating chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (Abbaszade I et al., J Biol Chem 1999, 274, 23443-23450), procollagen processing (Colige A et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1997, 94, 2374-2379), angiogenesis (Vazquez F et al., J Biol Chem 1999, 274, 23349-23357), inflammation (Kuno K et al., J Biol Chem 1997, 272, 556-562) and tumor invasion (Masui T., et al., J Biol Chem 1997, 272, 556-562). MMPs have been shown to cleave aggrecan as well.
The loss of aggrecan has been implicated in the degradation of articular cartilage in arthritic diseases, for example osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease which affects at least 30 million Americans. Degradation of articular cartilage and the resulting chronic pain can severely reduce quality of life. An early and important characteristic of the osteoarthritic process is loss of aggrecan from the extracellular matrix, resulting in deficiencies in the biomechanical characteristics of the cartilage. Likewise, MMPs and aggrecanases are known to play a role in many disorders in which extracellular protein degradation or destruction occurs, such as cancer, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), atherosclerosis, age-related macular degeneration, myocardial infarction, corneal ulceration and other ocular surface diseases, hepatitis, aortic aneurysms, tendonitis, central nervous system diseases, abnormal wound healing, angiogenesis, restenosis, cirrhosis, multiple sclerosis, glomerulonephritis, graft versus host disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, shock, invertebral disc degeneration, stroke, osteopenia, and periodontal diseases.
Therefore, metalloproteinase inhibitors are needed, including inhibitors of MMPs and aggrecanases.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides novel comprises biaryl sulfonamide compounds. Preferred compounds of the invention are those of the formula I:
wherein:
In another aspect, the present invention provides methods for using biaryl sulfonamide compounds to modulate and, preferably, inhibit metalloproteinases.

Biaryl sulfonamide compounds have been found to act as metalloproteinase inhibitors. They are therefore useful in the treatment of cancer, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, COPD, atherosclerosis, age-related macular degeneration, myocardial infarction, corneal ulceration and other ocular surface diseases, hepatitis, aortic aneurysms, tendonitis, central nervous system diseases, abnormal wound healing, angiogenesis, restenosis, cirrhosis, multiple sclerosis, glomerulonephritis, graft versus host disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, shock, invertebral disc degeneration, stroke, osteopenia, and/or periodontal diseases.
The present invention thus provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one biaryl sulfonamide compound and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or diluents.
Examples of such carriers are well known to those skilled in the art and are prepared in accordance with acceptable pharmaceutical procedures, such as, for example, those described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th edition, ed. Alfonoso R. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. (1985), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are those that are compatible with the other ingredients in the formulation and biologically acceptable.
The compounds of this invention may be administered orally or parenterally, neat or in combination with conventional pharmaceutical carriers. Applicable solid carriers can include one or more substances which may also act as flavoring agents, lubricants, solubilizers, suspending agents, fillers, glidants, compression aids, binders or tablet-disintegrating agents or encapsulating materials. They are formulated in conventional manner, for example, in a manner similar to that used for known antihypertensive agents, diuretics and β-blocking agents. Oral formulations containing the active compounds of this invention may comprise any conventionally used oral forms, including tablets, capsules, buccal forms, troches, lozenges and oral liquids, suspensions or solutions. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid, which is an admixture with the finely divided active ingredient. In tablets, the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier having the necessary compression properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain up to 99% of the active ingredient.
Capsules may contain mixtures of the active compound(s) with inert fillers and/or diluents such as the pharmaceutically acceptable starches (e.g. corn, potato or tapioca starch), sugars, artificial sweetening agents, powdered celluloses, such as crystalline and microcrystalline celluloses, flours, gelatins, gums, etc.
Useful tablet formulations may be made by conventional compression, wet granulation or dry granulation methods and utilize pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, binding agents, lubricants, disintegrants, surface modifying agents (including surfactants), suspending or stabilizing agents, including, but not limited to, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, sugars, lactose, dextrin, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, polyvinylpyrrolidine, alginic acid, acacia gum, xanthan gum, sodium citrate, complex silicates, calcium carbonate, glycine, sucrose, sorbitol, dicalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, lactose, kaolin, mannitol, sodium chloride, low melting waxes and ion exchange resins. Preferred surface modifying agents include nonionic and anionic surface modifying agents. Representative examples of surface modifying agents include, but are not limited to, poloxamer 188, benzalkonium chloride, calcium stearate, cetostearl alcohol, cetomacrogol emulsifying wax, sorbitan esters, colliodol silicon dioxide, phosphates, sodium dodecylsulfate, magnesium aluminum silicate, and triethanolamine. Oral formulations herein may utilize standard delay or time release formulations to alter the absorption of the active compound(s). The oral formulation may also consist of administering the active ingredient in water or fruit juice, containing appropriate solubilizers or emulisifiers as needed.
Liquid carriers may be used in preparing solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups and elixirs. The active ingredient of this invention can be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier such as water, an organic solvent, a mixture of both or pharmaceutically acceptable oils or fat. The liquid carrier can contain other suitable pharmaceutical additives such as solubilizers, emulsifiers, buffers, preservatives, sweeteners, flavoring agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, colors, viscosity regulators, stabilizers or osmo-regulators. Suitable examples of liquid carriers for oral and parenteral administration include water (particularly containing additives as above, e.g. cellulose derivatives, preferably sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution), alcohols (including monohydric alcohols and polyhydric alcohols, e.g. glycols) and their derivatives, and oils (e.g. fractionated coconut oil and arachis oil). For parenteral administration the carrier can also be an oily ester such as ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate. Sterile liquid carriers are used in sterile liquid form compositions for parenteral administration. The liquid carrier for pressurized compositions can be halogenated hydrocarbon or other pharmaceutically acceptable propellant.
Liquid pharmaceutical compositions, which are sterile solutions or suspensions, can be utilized by, for example, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection. Sterile solutions can also be administered intravenously. Compositions for oral administration may be in either liquid or solid form.
Preferably the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dosage form, e.g. as tablets, capsules, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, granules, or suppositories. In such form, the composition is sub-divided in unit dose containing appropriate quantities of the active ingredient; the unit dosage forms can be packaged compositions, for example, packeted powders, vials, ampoules, prefilled syringes or sachets containing liquids. The unit dosage form can be, for example, a capsule or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any such compositions in package form. Such unit dosage form may contain from about 1 mg/kg to about 250 mg/kg, and may given in a single dose or in two or more divided doses. Such doses may be administered in any manner useful in directing the active compounds herein to the recipient's bloodstream, including orally, via implants, parenterally (including intravenous, intraperitoneal and subcutaneous injections), rectally, vaginally, and transdermally. Such administrations may be carried out using the present compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in lotions, creams, foams, patches, suspensions, solutions, and suppositories (rectal and vaginal).
When administered for the treatment or inhibition of a particular disease state or disorder, it is understood that the effective dosage may vary depending upon the particular compound utilized, the mode of administration, the condition, and severity thereof, of the condition being treated, as well as the various physical factors related to the individual being treated. In therapeutic application, compounds of the present invention are provided to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially ameliorate the symptoms of the disease and its complications. An amount adequate to accomplish this is defined as a “therapeutically effective amount”. The dosage to be used in the treatment of a specific case must be subjectively determined by the attending physician. The variables involved include the specific condition and the size, age and response pattern of the patient.
In some cases it may be desirable to administer the compounds directly to the airways in the form of an aerosol. For administration by intranasal or intrabrochial inhalation, the compounds of this invention may be formulated into an aqueous or partially aqueous solution.
The compounds of this invention may be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds as a free base or pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxyl-propylcellulose. Dispersions may also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.
The compounds of this invention can be administered transdermally through the use of a transdermal patch. For the purposes of this disclosure, thransdermal administrations are understood to include all administrations across the surface of the body and the inner linings of bodily passages including epithelial and mucosal tissues. Such administrations may be carried out using the present compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in lotions, creams, foams, patches, suspensions, solutions, and suppositories (rectal and vaginal).
Transdermal administration may be accomplished through the use of a transdermal patch containing the active compound and a carrier that is inert to the active compound, is non-toxic to the skin, and allows delivery of the agent for systemic absorption into the blood stream via the skin. The carrier may take any number of forms such as creams and ointments, pastes, gels and occlusive devices. The creams and ointments may be viscous liquid or semisolid emulsions of either the oil-in-water or water-in-oil type. Pastes comprised of absorptive powders dispersed in petroleum or hydrophilic petroleum containing the active ingredient may also be suitable. A variety of occlusive devices may be used to release the active ingredient into the blood stream, such as a semi-permeable membrane covering a reservoir containing the active ingredient with or without a carrier, or a matrix containing the active ingredient. Other occlusive devices are known in the literature.
The compounds of this invention may be administered rectally or vaginally in the form of a conventional suppository. Suppository formulations may be made from traditional materials, including cocoa butter, with or without the addition of waxes to alter the suppository's melting point, and glycerin. Water soluble suppository bases, such as polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights, may also be used.
In certain embodiments, the present invention is directed to prodrugs of biaryl sulfonamide compounds. Various forms of prodrugs are known in the art, for example, as discussed in, for example, Bundgaard, (ed.), Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985); Widder, et al. (ed.), Methods in Enzymology, vol. 4, Academic Press (1985); Krogsgaard-Larsen, et al. (ed.), “Design and Application of Prodrugs”, Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Chapter 5, 113-191 (1991), Bundgaard, et al., Journal of Drug Deliver reviews, 8:1-38 (1992), Bundgaard, J. of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 77:285 et seq. (1988); and Higuchi and Stella (eds.) Prodrugs as Novel Drug Delivery Systems, American Chemical Society (1975), each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
It is understood that the dosage, regimen and mode of administration of these compounds will vary according to the malady and the individual being treated and will be subject to the judgment of the medical practitioner involved. It is preferred that the administration of one or more of the compounds herein begin at a low dose and be increased until the desired effects are achieved.
The compounds of the current invention were prepared according to the following general synthetic scheme from commercially available starting materials, materials prepared as described in literature procedures, or new intermediates described in the schemes and experimental procedures. This general scheme covers most of the examples. For more detailed information, please refer to the schemes in the session of Synthetic Methods and Examples.
Bases used here are Et3N, K2CO3, NaH, Hunig base, etc. Coupling was generally referred to Suzuki coupling or Stille coupling. Hydrolysis was carried out using TFA, NaOH, LiOH, K2CO3, etc.
The compounds of the invention can be prepared using a variety of methods starting from commercially available compounds, known compounds, or compounds prepared by known methods. General synthetic routes to many of the compounds of the invention are included in the following schemes. It is understood by those skilled in the art that protection and deprotection steps not shown in the Schemes may be required for these syntheses, and that the order of steps may be changed to accommodate functionality in the target molecules.
In Scheme 1 the compounds of the invention, 1, are prepared in 4 steps. Sulfonylation of valine methyl ester with 4-Bromo-benzenesulfonyl chloride was carried out under Hunig base condition to give sulfonamide intermediate 1. This 4-Bromo-benzenesulfonamide was furthered coupled with boronate ester using Palladium catalyst under Suzuki coupling condition to provide biphenyl sulfonamide Intermediate 2. Biphenyl sulfonamide intermediate 2 was then alkylated with various alkylating reagents to provide biphenyl sulfonamide ester (Intermediate 3). Hydrolysis of intermediate 3 was carried out using bases such as NaOH, or LiOH to afford the final product 1.
An alternative route to compounds 1 is shown in Scheme 2. Phenol derivative was converted to Pinacolborane (Intermediate 4) under basic condition in DMF. Pinacolborane was then coupled with 4-bromo-benzenesulfonamide under Suzuki condition to provide biphenyl sulfonamide intermediate 5, which was hydrolyzed to final product under basic conditions.
The third option to make compounds of the invention, 1, are carried out based on Scheme 3. The synthetic sequence in Scheme 3 is similar to that in Scheme 1 but using different starting material, valine tert-butyl ester. Therefore, final step to form the product 1 was carried out by using TFA to deprotect the tert-butyl ester group of Intermediate 8.
Slight modification of Scheme 3 resulted in another to make the compounds of invention, 1. This is illustrated in Schem 4A. In this case, boronate esters with suitable ether moiety are purchased from commercial source and used for Suzuki coupling to provide intermediate 8. TFA deprotection of tert-butyl ester from intermediate 8 resulted the desired final product 1.
Compounds of the invention, 1, can also be made by hydrolysis of ester such as intermediate 10.
Alkylation
The phenol derivative (4.14 mmol) is dissolved in methanol (6 mL) and treated with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (4.14 mmol.) The mixture is stirred for 10 minutes, and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The residue is dissolved in THF (10 mL) and treated with a solution of the benzylic bromide (4.14 mmol) in THF (5 mL.) The reaction is stirred at rt overnight. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and redissolved in dichloromethane (5 mL) and ether (50 mL.) The organic solution is washed with water (4×50 mL) and saturated sodium chloride solution (50 mL,) and dried over magnesium sulfate. The organic solution is filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material is purified by flash silica gel chromatography to yield the purified product in 53% yield.
Suzuki Coupling
The boronate ester (1.07 mmol) and aryl bromide (1.07 mmol) are dissolved in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (10 mL) and the resulting solution is treated with tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.054 mmol.) A solution of potassium carbonate (2.14 mmol) in water (3.5 mL) is added, and the reaction is heated to reflux for 1 h. The reaction is cooled, filtered to remove solids, diluted with water (10 mL) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is extracted with dichloromethane (3×25 mL) and the organic layers are washed with water (25 mL) and saturated sodium chloride solution (25 mL). The organic solution is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash silica gel chromatography furnishes the product in 57% yield. In some cases, PdCl2(dppf) was used as the catalyst instead of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0).
Deprotection with MgBr2.
The 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl ester (0.0621 mmol) is dissolved in dichloromethane (58 mL) and treated with magnesium bromide etherate (0.186 mmol). The mixture is stirred vigorously overnight or until reaction is complete and then shaken with 10% HCl (3×25 mL) and saturated sodium chloride solution (25 mL). The organic solution is then dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the product in 95% yield. The crude product could be purified by HPLC when required.
Suzuki coupling can be carried out on free acid with boronate ester. Therefore, hydrolysis of the esters is avoided. This result in direct preparation of the compounds, 1.
Suzuki Coupling with Free Acid
The boronate ester (1.36 mmol) and bromoacid (1.36 mmol) are dissolved in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (13.8 mL) and the resulting solution is treated with tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.068 mmol). After stirring at rt for 10 minutes, a solution of potassium carbonate (4.08 mmol) in water (4.8 mL) are added. The solution is heated to reflux for 2 h, and then allowed to cool to rt overnight. The mixture is concentrated to an aqueous residue under reduced pressure and ethyl acetate (50 mL) is added. The organic mixture is washed with 10% HCl (2×25 mL) and saturated sodium chloride (25 mL). The organic solution is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to a crude residue, which is purified using flash silica gel chromatography to obtain the product in 64% yield.
In Scheme 5 the compounds of the invention, 2, are prepared in 3 steps. Boronate ester (intermediate 11) was prepared by alkylation under basic condition. Intermediate 11 thus obtained can be easily coupled with 4-bromo-benzenesulfonamide derivative to provide biphenyl sulfonamide analog (intermediate 12).
The ester functional group in intermediate 12 can be hydrolyzed under various condition to yield the desired product biphenyl sulfonamide analog, 2.
Alternate route to provide compounds, 2, is shown in Scheme 6. Starting material 4-hydroxybiphenyl sulfonamide derivative was readily available through Suzuki coupling. Alkylation of 4-hydroxybiphenyl sulfonamide under basic condition provides biphenyl sulfonamide intermediate 13 with an ether linker. Hydrolysis of ester (intermediate 13) using aqueous NaOH to afford the desired product of the invention, 2.
The methyl ester (0.294 mmol) was dissolved in THF:MeOH (2:1)(2 mL) and 1 M LiOH (0.881 mmol) was added. Reaction stirred for 3 days. The solvent was removed and the remaining white solid was dissolved in H2O. The H2O was extracted with ether. The ether layer was removed and the aqueous layer was acidified to pH 2 with HCl (conc.) forming a cloudy solution. This was extracted with CH2Cl2. The aqueous layer was removed and the organic layer was washed with brine. The solvent was removed and the remaining solid was dissolved in minimal CH2Cl2 and then hexanes was added precipitating a white solid. The solid was filtered and dried at reduced pressure to provide the desired product.
Compounds of the invention, 3, are prepared based on the Scheme 7. 4-Vinylphenylboronic acid and 4-bromobenzene sulfonamide derivative was undergoing Suzuki coupling catalyzed by Palladium catalyst to provide intermediate 14.

Solvent removed at reduced pressure, and the solid dried on vacuum pump to give a 98% yield.
MMPs and aggrecacnases can degrade various components of connective tissue, including collagen and proteoglycan. In the absence of natural checks on this activity, a variety of pathologies and undesirable effects can occur. In fact, MMPs and aggrecanases are known to play a role in many disorders in which extracellular protein degradation/destruction occurs, such as cancer, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), atherosclerosis, age-related macular degeneration, myocardial infarction, corneal ulceration and other ocular surface diseases, hepatitis, aortic aneurysms, tendonitis, central nervous system diseases, abnormal wound healing, angiogenesis, restenosis, cirrhosis, multiple sclerosis, glomerulonephritis, graft versus host disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, shock, invertebral disc degeneration, stroke, osteopenia, and periodontal diseases.
The preferred metalloproteinase is Aggrecanase-1 (Agg-1). The molecular weight of full length Agg-1 is around 62 KD. The cDNA sequence contains a 2511-base pair encoding 837 amino acids (Tortorella, M D et al., Science, 1999, 284, 1664-1666). The Agg-1 protein may be produced by culturing a cell transformed with the DNA sequence and recovering and purifying protein from the culture medium (Racie, L A et al, PCT Int. Appl. Analysis of Agg-1 protein is conducted using standard techniques such as SDS-PAGE acrylamide (Laemmli, Nature, 1970, 227, 680) stained with silver (Oaklet et al. Anal. Biochem, 1980, 105, 361) and by immunoblot (Towbin, et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1979, 76, 4350). Biological activity of Agg-1 can be further characterized by the ability to demonstrate aggrecan proteolytic activity in an assay which determines the presence of an aggrecan-degrading molecule. These assays or the development thereof is within the knowledge of one skilled in the art. Such assays may involve contacting an aggrecan substrate with the aggrecanase molecule and monitoring the production of aggrecan fragments (Hughes et al., Biochem J, 1995, 305, 799-804).
The invention includes methods for developing inhibitors of aggrecanase and the inhibitors produced thereby. Compounds are assessed by their ability to inhibit cleavage of a fluorescent peptide substrate (Abz-TEGARGSVI-Dap(Dnp) (Abz:o-aminobenzoyl; Dnp: 2,4 dinitrophenyl) (Anaspec Inc). The peptide sequence TEGARGSVI is based on the amino acid sequence of the Glu373-Ala374 cleavage site of aggrecan in osteoarthritis. Inhibitors are pre-incubated with purified full-length human recombinant aggrecanase-1 for 10 min followed by the addition of substrate, at temperatures ranging from 25° C. to 37° C., typically at 30° C. Cleavage of the Glu-Ala bond releases the fluorophore from internal quenching. This results in an increase in fluorescence monitored at λex 340 nm and λex 420 nm over a period of 40 min. The initial rate (v) at each concentration of the substrate is fit to the following equation V=Vmax·Sh/(Sh0.5+Sh) where h is the Hill constant and SO.5 is the substrate concentration at half the Vmax. The percentage activity remaining in the presence of inhibitor is plotted as a function of inhibitor concentration and the IC50 value is determined by fitting the data to the following equation:
% activity=100IC50/(I0+IC50).
Candidate molecules are further assayed for inhibitory activity in secondary assay such as cell-based assay. Assays for the inhibitors involve contacting a mixture of aggrecan (proteoglycan from the slice of cartilage) and the inhibitor with an aggrecanase molecule followed by measurement of the aggrecanase inhibition, for instance by detection and measurement of aggrecan fragments produced by cleavage at an aggrecanase susceptible site.
Another aspect of the invention therefore provides pharmaceutical compositions containing a therapeutically effective amount of aggrecanase inhibitors, in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. Aggrecanase-mediated degradation of aggrecan in cartilage has been implicated in osteoarthritis and other inflammatory diseases. Therefore, these compositions of the invention may be used in the treatment of diseases characterized by the degradation of aggrecan and/or an upregulation of aggrecanase. The compositions may be used in the treatment of these conditions or in the prevention thereof.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be formed from organic and inorganic acids, for example, acetic, propionic, lactic, citric, tartaric, succinic, fumaric, maleic, malonic, mandelic, malic, phthalic, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, nitric, sulfuric, methanesulfonic, napthalenesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, camphorsulfonic, and similarly known acceptable aids when a compound of this invention contains a basic moiety. Salts may also be formed from organic and inorganic bases, such as alkali metal salts (for example, sodium, lithium, or potassium) alkaline earth metal salts, ammonium salts, alkylammonium salts containing 1-6 carbon atoms or dialkylammonium salts containing 1-6 carbon atoms in each alkyl group, and trialkylammonium salts containing 1-6 carbon atoms in each alkyl group, when a compound of this invention contains an acidic moiety.

Aggrecanase-1 FRET Assay
The following protocol was used:
The assay is performed as follows (The plates are set up so that the final column (12) is used for controls. Total reaction volume is 100 μl. Each compound is assayed in duplicate, so 4 compounds are screened per plate):
The reaction is monitored for 30-40 min at 30° C. λex: 340 nm and λem: 420 nm). The fluorescence is linear during this time and the slope of the line (Vmax/sec) represents the initial reaction rate, υ. The maximal rate of cleavage of substrate is determined in the absence of inhibitor.
The percent inhibition of activity in the presence of inhibitor is calculated as follows:
The IC50 was obtained by fitting the initial rate, σ, or % inhibition at each concentration of inhibitor to the following equation in Excel.
y=(a−d)/(1+C/IC50)ˆn)+d
This model describes a sigmoidal curve with an adjustable baseline, a. y is the % inhbition or initial rate of reaction, C is the concentration of inhibitor under test. a is the limiting response as C approaches zero. As C increases without bound y tends toward its lower limit, d. y is halfway between the lower and upper asymptotes when C=IC50. n is the Hill coefficient. The sign of n is positive when the response increases with increasing dose and is negative when the response decreases with increasing dose (inhibition).
Table 1 lists the activities for selected compounds of the Examples.
