Bicyclic fibrinogen antagonists

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel bicyclic compounds which inhibit platelet aggregation, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and methods of using the compounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Platelet aggregation is believed to be mediated primarily through the fibrinogen receptor, or GPIIb-IIIa platelet receptor complex, which is a member of a family of adhesion receptors referred to as integrins. It has been found that frequently the natural ligands of integrin receptors are proteins which contain an Arg-Gly-Asp sequence. Von Willebrand factor and fibrinogen, which are considered to be natural ligands for the GPIIb-IIIa receptor, possess an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD in single letter amino acid code) sequence in their primary structure. Functionally, these proteins are able to bind and crosslink GPIb-IIIa receptors on adjacent platelets and thereby effect aggregation of platelets.
Fibronectin, vitronectin and thrombospondin are RGD-containing proteins which have also been demonstrated to bind to GPIIb-IIIa. Fibronectin is found in plasma and as a structural protein in the intracellular matrix. Binding between the structural proteins and GPIIb-IIIa may function to cause platelets to adhere to damaged vessel walls.
Linear and cyclic peptides which bind vitronectin and contain an RGD sequence are disclosed in WO 89/05150 (PCT US88/04403). EP 0 275 748 discloses linear tetra- to hexapeptides and cyclic hexa- to octapeptides which bind to the GPIIb-IIIa receptor and inhibit platelet aggregation. Other linear and cyclic peptides, the disclosure of which are incorporated herein by reference, are reported in EP-A 0 341 915. However, the peptide like structures of such inhibitors often pose problems, such as in drug delivery, metabolic stability and selectivity. Inhibitors of the fibrinogen receptor which are not constructed of natural amino acid sequences are disclosed in EP-A 0 372,486, EP-A 0 381 033 and EP-A 0 478 363. WO 92/07568 (PCT/US91/08166) discloses fibrinogen receptor antagonists which mimic a conformational .gamma.-turn in the RGD sequence by forming a monocyclic seven-membered ring structure. There remains a need, however, for novel fibrinogen receptor antagonists (e.g. inhibitors of the GPII-IIIa protein) which have potent In vivo and in vitro effects and lack the peptide backbone structure of amino acid sequences.
The present invention discloses novel bicyclic compounds including benzazepines and benzodiazepines, which are inhibitors of the GPIIb-IIIa receptor and inhibit platelet aggregation. Certain 5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiazepines are known as a class of drugs which affect the central nervous system, and have been used as anxiolytics. See Sternbach, L. H., J. Med. Chem., 22, 2 (1979). It has also been disclosed that. certain 5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiazepines antagonize the effects of cholecystokinin. See Friedinger, Med. Res. Rev., 9, 271 (1989). However, no such bicyclic compounds have been reported to have anti-platelet activity.

This invention is also a method for treating stroke, transient ischemia attacks, or myocardial infarction.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention discloses novel bicyclic compounds which inhibit platelet aggregation. The novel bicyclic compounds comprise a seven-membered ring fused to an aromatic six membered ring and having a nitrogen-containing substituent on the six membered ring and an aliphatic substituent, preferably containing an acidic moiety, on the seven membered ring. The seven membered ring may contain heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, and the six membered ring may be carbocyclic or contain up to two nitrogen atoms. The fused 6-7 ring system is believed to interact favorably with the GPIIb-IIIa receptor and to orient the substituent sidechains on the six and seven membered rings so that they may also interact favorably with the receptor.
Although not intending to be bound to any specific mechanism of action, these compounds are believed to inhibit the binding of fibrinogen to the platelet-bound fibrinogen receptor GPIIb-IIIa, and may interact with other adhesion proteins via antagonism of a putative RGD binding site.

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).
The compounds of formula (IX), wherein two of A.sup.1 to A.sup.5 are nitrogen, are benzodiazepines and are prepared by the general methods illustrated by Schemes 1-8. Representative methods for preparing benzodiazepines are well known in the art (eg. Hynes, et al., J. Het. Chem., 1988, 25, 1173; Huller, et al., Helv. Chim. Acta., 1982, 65, 2118; Mori, et al., Heterocycles, 1981, 16, 1491). In the Schemes, R.sup.1 "-R.sup.7 " indicate R.sup.1 -R.sup.7 or a suitable precursor thereof, wherein any functional groups are protected as known in the art.
Scheme 1 provides a method to prepare compounds wherein X.sup.1 is H and X.sup.2 is .dbd.O. Generally the synthesis is begun with a 5-nitro-2-halo-benzonitrile. Condensation with an amine of the formula, H.sub.2 NCHR.sup.2 CO.sub.2 RP (wherein RP indicates a carboxy protecting group) introduces the substituent R.sup.2. Selective reduction and protection of the nitro group, such as with hydrogenation over a palladium on carbon catalyst, provides the corresponding aromatic amine. Reduction of the cyano group, such as with Raney nickel, in the presence of a base, such as sodium methoxide, induces an intramolecular cyclization to form the 1,4-benzazepine ring system. Deprotection of the aromatic amino group, followed by coupling with an appropriate acid, such as R.sup.4 '--OH , yields the basic substituted-3-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3H-1,4-benzazepine product. Protective groups, such as for amino or carboxyl groups, may be selectively removed by methods known in the art. A 3-oxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzazepine may be prepared by mild oxidation, such as by passing a stream of air through a solution of the compound or treating the solution with manganese dioxide. Decarboxylation may result from treatirg such 7-amino-1,4-benzodiazepine compounds with base, and a benzyl ester is the preferred protecting group when R.sup.7 is CO.sub.2 H.
Scheme 2 provides an alternate method for preparing compounds wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.3 ' are .dbd.O. Generally the preparation is begun with an appropriately substituted nitro, halo-benzaldehyde, such as 2-chloro-5-nitro-benzaldehyde or 2-chloro-3-nitro-benzaldehyde. Reductive amination with a substituted amine, R.sup.4 "--NH.sub.2, introduces the substituent R.sup.4. Acylation/coupling of the amine, with a suitably substituted, protected amino acid, such as Boc-NHCHR.sup.2 "CO.sub.2 H, is used to introduce the substituent R.sup.2 into the molecule. Deprotection of the amino group of the amino acid, such as by treatment with acid in the case of a Boc-protecting group, yields a nucleophilic amino group. Upon heating in the presence of base, the free amino group may be induced to undergo an intramolecular cyclization by displacing the halo group of the nitro-phenyl nucleus, and thereby forms the 1,4 benzodiazepinyl ring structure. Reduction of the aromatic nitro group to an amine, such as by hydrogenation over a suitable catalyst, acylating/coupling the anilino amine with a suitably protected carboxylic acid, R.sup.6 "--OH, or activated carboxylic acid, and subsequently removing any protecting groups, completes the preparation. As previously described, mild oxidation provides a compound with the 3H-4,5-dihydro-1,4-benzazepine nucleus. ##STR13##

In particular, compounds wherein D.sup.2 or D.sup.3 is C-L.sup.1, R.sup.1 is H, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 oxoalkyl, R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 are CH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 R' or Q-C.sub.1-6 alkyl, and R.sup.3 /R.sup.3' and R.sup.5 /R.sup.5' are H,H or .dbd.O, are useful.

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.
Solution synthesis for the formation of amide or peptide bonds is accomplished using conventional methods used to form amide bonds. Typically, the amine or aniline is coupled via its free amino group to an appropriate carboxylic acids 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 reactive functional groups of the sidechains of each synthetic fragment are suitably protected as known in the art. Suitable protective groups are disclosed in Greene, PROTECTIVE GROUPS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1981. For example, the Boc, Cbz, phthaloyl or Fmoc group may be used for protection of an amino or amidino group. The Boc group is generally preferred for protection of an .alpha.-amino group. A t-Bu, cHex or benzyl ester may be used for the protection of the side chain carboxyl. A benzyl group or suitably substituted benzyl group (eg. 4-methoxy-benzyl or 2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl) is used to protect the mercapto group or the hydroxyl group. The tosyl group may be used for protection of the imidazolyl group and tosyl or so nitro group for protection of the guanidino group. A suitably substituted carbobenzyloxy group or benzyl group may be also be used for the hydroxyl group or amino group. Suitable substitution of the carbobenzyloxy or benzyl protecting groups is ortho and/or para substitution with chloro, bromo, nitro or methyl, and is used to modify the reactivity of the protective group. Except for the Boc group, the protective groups for the amino moiety are, most conveniently, those which are not removed by mild acid treatment. These protective groups are removed by such methods as catalytic hydrogenation, sodium in liquid ammonia or HF treatment, as known in the art.
Modification of amino groups especially on the six-membered ring of the bicyclic system, may be accomplished by alkylation, sulfonylation, cyanation or acylation as is generally known in the art.
Acid addition salts of the peptides are prepared in a standard manner in a suitable solvent from the parent compound and an excess of an acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, maleic, succinic or methanesulfonic. The acetate salt form is especially useful. 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+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++ and NH.sub.4 + are specific examples of cations present in pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
This invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound according to formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Accordingly, the compounds of formula (I) may be used in the manufacture of a medicament. Pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds of formula (I) 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 peptides 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 peptides of this invention may also be combined with excipients such as cocoa butter, glycerin, gelatin or polyethylene glycols and molded into a suppository.
This invention also provides a method of inhibiting 7.0 platelet aggregation and clot formation in a mammal, especially a human, which comprises the internal administration of a peptide of formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Indications for such therapy include acute myocardial infarction (AMI), deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, dissecting anurysm, transient ischemia attack (TIA), stroke and other infarct-related disorders, and unstable angina. Chronic or acute states of hyper-aggregability, such as disseminated intravascular. coagulation (DIC), septicemia, surgical or infectious shock, post-operative and post-partum trauma, cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, incompatible blood transfusion, abruptio placenta, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), snake venom and immune diseases, are likely to be responsive to such treatment. In addition, the peptides of this invention may be useful in a method for the prevention of metastatic conditions, the prevention or treatment of fungal or bacterial infection, inducing immunostimulation, and the prevention or treatment of diseases in which bone resorption is a factor.
The peptide is administered either orally or parenterally to the patient, in a manner such that the concentration of drug in the plasma is sufficient to inhibit platelet aggregation, or other such-indication. The pharmaceutical composition containing the peptide is administered at a dose between about 0.2 to about 50 mg/kg in a manner consistent with the condition of the patient. For acute therapy, parenteral administration is preferred. For persistent states of hyperaggregability, an intravenous infusion of the peptide in 5% dextrose in water or normal saline is most effective, although an intramuscular bolus injection may be sufficient.
For chronic, but noncritical, states of platelet aggregability, oral administration of a capsule or tablet, or a bolus intramuscular injection is suitable. The peptide is administered one to four times daily at a level of about 0.4 to about 50 mg/kg to achieve a total daily dose of about 0.4 to about 200 mg/kg/day.
This invention further provides a method for inhibiting the reocclusion of an artery or vein following fibrinolytic therapy, which comprises internal administration of a peptide of formula (I) and a fibrinolytic agent. It has been found that administration of an peptide in fibrinolytic therapy either prevents reocclusion completely or prolongs the time to reocclusion.
When used in the context of this invention the term fibrinolytic agent is intended to mean any compound, whether a natural or synthetic product, which directly or indirectly causes the lysis of a fibrin clot. Plasminogen activators are a well known group of fibrinolytic agents. Useful plasminogen activators include, for example, anistreplase, urokinase (UK), pro-urokinase (pUK), streptokinase (SK), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and mutants, or variants, thereof, which retain plasminogen activator activity, such as variants which have been chemically modified or in which one or more amino acids have been added, deleted or substituted or in which one or more or functional domains have been added, deleted or altered such as by combining the active site of one plasminogen activator with the fibrin binding domain of another plasminogen activator or fibrin binding molecule. Other illustrative variants include tPA molecules in which one or more glycosylation sites have been altered. Preferred among plasminogen activators are variants of tPA in which the primary amino acid sequence has been altered in the growth factor domain so as to increase the serum half-life of the plasminogen activator. tPA Growth factor variants are disclosed, e.g., by Robinson et al., EP-A 0 297 589 and Browne et al., EP-A 0 240 334. Other variants include hybrid proteins, such as those disclosed in EP 0 028 489, EP 0 155 387 and EP 0 297 882, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Anistreplase is a preferred hybrid protein for use in this invention. Fibrinolytic agents may be isolated from natural sources, but are commonly produced by traditional methods of genetic engineering.
Useful formulations of tPA, SKg, UK and pUK are disclosed, for example, in EP-A 0 211 592, EP-A 0 092 182 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,568,543, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Typically the fibrinolytic agent may be formulated in an aqueous, buffered, isotonic solution, such as sodium or ammonium acetate or adipate buffered at pH 3.5 to 5.5. Additional excipients such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, gelatin, hydroxy cellulose, acacia, polyethylene, glycol, mannitol and sodium chloride may also be added. Such a composition can be lyophilized.
The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated with both the compound of formula (I) and fibrinolytic in the same container, but formulation in different containers is preferred. When both agents are provided in solution form they can be contained in an infusion/injection system for simultaneous administration or in a tandem arrangement.
Indications for such therapy include myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke and other infarct-related disorders. The peptide is administered just prior to, at the same time as, or just after parenteral administration of tPA or other fibrinolytic agent. It may prove desirable to continue treatment with the peptide for a period of time well after reperfusion has been established to maximally inhibit post-therapy reocclusion. The effective dose of tPA, SK, UK or pUK may be from 0.5 to 5 mg/kg and the effective dose of the peptide may be from about 0.1 to 25 mg/kg.
For convenient administration of the inhibitor and the fibrinolytic agent at the same or different times, a kit is prepared, comprising, in a single container, such as a box, carton or other container, individual bottles, bags, vials or other containers each having an effective amount of the inhibitor for parenteral administration, as described above, and an effective amount of tPA, or other fibrinolytic agent, for parenteral administration, as described above. Such kit can comprise, for example, both pharmaceutical agents in separate containers or the same container, optionally as lyophilized plugs, and containers of solutions for reconstitution. A variation of this is to include the solution for reconstitution and the lyophilized plug in two chambers of a single container, which can be caused to admix prior to use. With such an arrangement, the fibrinolytic and the peptide may be packaged separately, as in two containers, or lyophilized together as a powder and provided in a single container.
When both agents are provided in solution form, they can be contained in an infusion/injection system for simultaneous administration or in a tandem arrangement. For example, the platelet aggregation inhibitor may be in an i.v. injectable form, or infusion bag linked in series, via tubing, to the fibrinolytic agent in a second infusion bag. Using such a system, a patient can receive an initial bolus-type injection or infusion, of the peptide inhibitor followed by an infusion of the fibrinolytic agent.
The pharmacological activity of the compounds of this invention is assessed by their ability to inhibit the binding of .sup.3 H-SK&F 107260, a known RGD-fibrinogen antagonist, to the GPIIbIIIa receptor; their ability to inhibit platelet aggregation, in vitro, and their ability to inhibit thrombus formation in VIVO.
Inhibition of RGD-mediated GPIIb-IIIA binding
Purification of GPIIbIIIa
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 polyacrylamide 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 CaCl.sub.2 (with 2 changes). The GPIIb-IIIa-containing liposomes wee 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 -70.degree. C. 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 GPIlb-IIIa-bound �.sup.3 H!-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. The compounds of this invention inhibit �.sup.3 H!-SK&F 107260 binding with ki in the range of about 1 nM to about 20 .mu.M. Preferred compounds have Ki of less than 60 nM.
Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation
Blood was collected (citrated to prevent coagulation) from, naive, adult mongrel dogs. Platelet rich plasma, PRP, was prepared by centrifugation at 150.times.g for 10 min at room temperature. Washed platelets were prepared by centrifuging PRP at 800.times.q for 10 min. The cell pellet thus obtained was washed twice in Tyrode's buffer (pH 6.5) without Ca.sup.++ and resuspended in Tyrode's buffer (pH 7.4) containing 1.8 mM Ca.sup.++ at 3.times.10.sup.5 cells/ml. Peptides were added 3 min prior to the agonist in all assays of platelet aggregation. Final agonist concentrations were 0.1 unit/ml chrombin and 2 mM ADP (Sigma). Aggregation was monitored in a Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer. Light transmittance 5 min after addition of the agonist was used to calculate percent aggregation according to the formula % aggregation=�(90-CR)+(90-10)!.times.100, where CR is the chart reading, 90 is the baseline, and is the PRP blank reading. IC50's were determined by plotting �% inhibition of aggregation! vs. �concentration of peptide!. Peptides were assayed at 200 mM and diluted sequentially by a factor of 2 to establish a suitable dose response curve.
The compounds of this invention inhibit the aggregation of human platelets stimulated with ADP with IC50 of about 0.1 to about 150 .mu.M. Preferred compounds have IC50 of less than 1 .mu.M.
To assess the stability of the compounds to plasma proteases, the compounds were incubated for 3 h (rather than 3 min) in the PRP prior to addition of the agonist.
In Vivo Inhibition of platelet Aggregation
In vivo inhibition of thrombus formation is demonstrated by recording the systemic and hemodynamic effects of infusion of the peptides into anesthetized dogs according to the methods described in Aiken et al., Prostaglandins, 19, 629 (1980).

Example 38
Parenteral Dosage Unit Composition
A preparation which contains 20 mg of the compound of Example 1 or 2 as a sterile dry powder is prepared as follows: 20 mg of the compound is dissolved in 15 ml of distilled water. The solution is filtered under sterile conditions into a 25 ml multi-dose ampoule and lyophilized. The powder is reconstituted by addition of 20 ml of 5% dextrose in water (D5W) for intravenous or intramuscular injection. The dosage is thereby determined by the injection volume. Subsequent dilution may be made by addition of a metered volume of this dosage unit to another volume of D5W for injection, or a metered dose may be added to another mechanism for dispensing the drug, as in a bottle or bag for IV drip infusion or other injection-infusion system.
Example 39
Oral Dosage Unit Composition
A capsule for oral administration is prepared by mixing and milling 50 mg of the compound of Example 3 with 75 mg of lactose and 5 mg of magnesium stearate. The resulting powder is screened and filled into a hard gelatin capsule.
Example 40
Oral Dosage Unit Composition
A tablet for oral administration is prepared by mixing and granulating 20 mg of sucrose, 150 mg of calcium sulfate dehydrate and 50 mg of the compound of Example 3 with a 10% gelatin solution. The wet granules are screened, dried, mixed with 10 mg starch, 5 mg talc and 3 mg stearic acid; and compressed into a tablet.
The foregoing is illustrative of the making and using of this invention. This invention, however, is not limited to the precise embodiments described herein, but encompasses all modifications within the scope of the claims which follow.
