Abstract
The present invention relates to a class of compounds represented by the Formula I ##STR1## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the Formula I, and methods of selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin.
Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical agents (compounds) which are useful as .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin antagonists or inhibitors and as such are useful in pharmaceutical compositions and in methods for treating conditions mediated by .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 by inhibiting or antagonizing .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrins.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Integrins are a group of cell surface glycoproteins which mediate cell adhesion and therefore are useful mediators of cell adhesion interactions which occur during various biological processes. Integrins are heterodimers composed of noncovalently linked .alpha. and .beta. polypeptide subunits. Currently eleven different .alpha. subunits have been identified and six different .beta. subunits have been identified. The various .alpha. subunits can combine with various .beta. subunits to form distinct integrins.
The integrin identified as .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 (also known as the vitronectin receptor) has been identified as an integrin which plays a role in various conditions or disease states including tumor metastasis, solid tumor growth (neoplasia), osteoporosis, Paget's disease, humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, angiogenesis, including tumor angiogenesis, retinopathy, arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, periodontal disease, psoriasis and smooth muscle cell migration (e.g. restenosis). Additionally, it has been found that such agents would be useful as antivirals, antifungals and antimicrobials. Thus, compounds which selectively inhibit or antagonize .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 would be beneficial for treating such conditions.
It has been shown that the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin and other .alpha..sub.v containing integrins bind to a number of Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) containing matrix macromolecules. Compounds containing the RGD sequence mimic extracellular matrix ligands so as to bind to cell surface receptors. However, it is also known that RGD peptides in general are non-selective for RGD dependent integrins. For example, most RGD peptides which bind to .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 also bind to .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.5, .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.1 and .alpha..sub.IIb .beta..sub.3. Antagonism of platelet .alpha..sub.IIb .beta..sub.3 (also known as the fibrinogen receptor) is known to block platelet aggregation in humans. In order to avoid bleeding side-effects when treating the conditions or disease states associated with the integrin .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3, it would be beneficial to develop compounds which are selective antagonists of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 as opposed to .alpha..sub.IIb .beta..sub.3.
Tumor cell invasion occurs by a three step process: 1) tumor cell attachment to extracellular matrix; 2) proteolytic dissolution of the matrix; and 3) movement of the cells through the dissolved barrier. This process can occur repeatedly and can result in metastases at sites distant from the original tumor.
Seftor et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 89 (1992) 1557-1561) have shown that the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin has a biological function in melanoma cell invasion. Montgomery et al., (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 91 (1994) 8856-60) have demonstrated that the integrin .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 expressed on human melanoma cells promotes a survival signal, protecting the cells from apoptosis. Mediation of the tumor cell metastatic pathway by interference with the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin cell adhesion receptor to impede tumor metastasis would be beneficial.
Brooks et al. (Cell, Vol. 79 (1994) 1157-1164) have demonstrated that antagonists of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 provide a therapeutic approach for the treatment of neoplasia (inhibition of solid tumor growth) since systemic administration of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 antagonists causes dramatic regression of various histologically distinct human tumors.
The adhesion receptor integrin .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 was identified as a marker of angiogenic blood vessels in chick and man and therefore such receptor plays a critical role in angiogenesis or neovascularization. Angiogenesis is characterized by the invasion, migration and proliferation of smooth muscle and endothelial cells. Antagonists of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 inhibit this process by selectively promoting apoptosis of cells in neovasculature. The growth of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, also contributes to pathological conditions such as diabetic retinopathy (Adonis et al., Amer. J. Ophthal., Vol. 118, (1994) 445-450) and rheumatoid arthritis (Peacock et al., J. Exp. Med., Vol. 175, (1992), 1135-1138). Therefore, .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 antagonists would be useful therapeutic targets for treating such conditions associated with neovascularization (Brooks et al., Science, Vol. 264, (1994), 569-571).
It has been reported that the cell surface receptor .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 is the major integrin on osteoclasts responsible for attachment to bone. Osteoclasts cause bone resorption and when such bone resorbing activity exceeds bone forming activity it results in osteoporosis (a loss of bone), which leads to an increased number of bone fractures, incapacitation and increased mortality. Antagonists of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 have been shown to be potent inhibitors of osteoclastic activity both in vitro �Sato et al., J. Cell. Biol., Vol. 111 (1990) 1713-1723! and in vivo �Fisher et al., Endocrinology, Vol. 132 (1993) 1411-1413!. Antagonism of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 leads to decreased bone resorption and therefore restores a normal balance of bone forming and resorbing activity. Thus it would be beneficial to provide antagonists of osteoclast .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 which are effective inhibitors of bone resorption and therefore are useful in the treatment or prevention of osteoporosis.
The role of the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin in smooth muscle cell migration also makes it a therapeutic target for prevention or inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia which is a leading cause of restenosis after vascular procedures (Choi et al., J. Vasc. Surg. Vol. 19(1) (1994) 125-34). Prevention or inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia by pharmaceutical agents to prevent or inhibit restenosis would be beneficial.
White (Current Biology, Vol. 3(9)(1993) 596-599) has reported that adenovirus uses .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 for entering host cells. The integrin appears to be required for endocytosis of the virus particle and can be required for penetration of the viral genome into the host cell cytoplasm. Thus compounds which inhibit .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 would find usefulness as antiviral agents.

As used herein HPLC-Method 1 refers to reverse phase C-18 functionalized silica gel column (50.times.300 mm) using a linear gradient of 95% 0.6% TFA/water:5% CH.sub.3 CN to 60% 0.6% TFA/water: 40% CH.sub.3 CN with a flow rate of 80 ml/minute.
The compounds as shown in Formulas I-VI can exist in various isomeric forms and all such isomeric forms are meant to be included. Tautomeric forms are also included as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such isomers and tautomers.
In the structures and formulas herein, a bond drawn across a bond of a ring can be to any available atom on the ring.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt prepared by contacting a compound of Formula I with an acid whose anion is generally considered suitable for human consumption. Examples of pharmacologically acceptable salts include the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, phosphate, acetate, propionate, lactate, maleate, malate, succinate, tartrate salts and the like. All of the pharmacologically acceptable salts can be prepared by conventional means. (See Berge et al., J Pharm. Sci., 66(1), 1-19 (1977) for additional examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.) For the selective inhibition or antagonism of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrins, compounds of the present invention can be administered orally, parenterally, or by inhalation spray, or topically in unit dosage formulations containing conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes, for example, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal, infusion techniques or intraperitonally.
The compounds of the present invention are administered by any suitable route in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. Therapeutically effective doses of the compounds required to prevent or arrest the progress of or to treat the medical condition are readily ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art using preclinical and clinical approaches familiar to the medicinal arts.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of treating conditions mediated by selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 cell surface receptor which method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound selected from the class of compounds depicted in Formulas I-VI, wherein one or more compounds of the Formulas I-VI is administered in association with one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein as "carrier" materials) and if desired other active ingredients. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for inhibition of the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 cell surface receptor. Most preferably the present invention provides a method for inhibiting bone resorption, treating osteoporosis, inhibiting humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, treating Paget's disease, inhibiting tumor metastasis, inhibiting neoplasia (solid tumor growth), inhibiting angiogenesis including tumor angiogenesis, treating diabetic retinopathy, inhibiting arthritis, psoriasis and periodontal disease, and inhibiting smooth muscle cell migration including restenosis.
Based upon standard laboratory experimental techniques and procedures well known and appreciated by those skilled in the art, as well as comparisons with compounds of known usefulness, the compounds of Formula I can be used in the treatment of patients suffering from the above pathological conditions. One skilled in the art will recognize that selection of the most appropriate compound of the invention is within the ability of one with ordinary skill in the art and will depend on a variety of factors including assessment of results obtained in standard assay and animal models.
Treatment of a patient afflicted with one of the pathological conditions comprises administering to such a patient an amount of compound of the Formula I which is therapeutically effective in controlling the condition or in prolonging the survivability of the patient beyond that expected in the absence of such treatment. As used herein, the term "inhibition" of the condition refers to slowing, interrupting, arresting or stopping the condition and does not necessarily indicate a total elimination of the condition. It is believed that prolonging the survivability of a patient, beyond being a significant advantageous effect in and of itself, also indicates that the condition is beneficially controlled to some extent.
As stated previously, the compounds of the invention can be used in a variety of biological, prophylactic or therapeutic areas. It is contemplated that these compounds are useful in prevention or treatment of any disease state or condition wherein the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin plays a role.
The dosage regimen for the compounds and/or compositions containing the compounds is based on a variety of factors, including the type, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition; the route of administration; and the activity of the particular compound employed. Thus the dosage regimen may vary widely. Dosage levels of the order from about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg per kilogram of body weight per day and more preferably 0.01 mg to about 100 mg per kilogram are useful in the treatment of the above-indicated conditions.
The active ingredient administered by injection is formulated as a composition wherein, for example, saline, dextrose or water can be used as a suitable carrier. A suitable daily dose would typically be about 0.01 to 10 mg/kg body weight injected per day in multiple doses depending on the factors listed above.
For administration to a mammal in need of such treatment, the compounds in a therapeutically effective amount are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to the indicated route of administration. The compounds can be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulphuric acids, gelatin, acacia, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and tableted or encapsulated for convenient administration. Alternatively, the compounds can be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art.
The pharmaceutical compositions useful in the present invention can be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain conventional pharmaceutical adjuvants such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers, etc.
The general synthetic sequences for preparing the compounds useful in the present invention are outlined in Schemes I-III. Both an explanation of, and the actual procedures for, the various aspects of the present invention are described where appropriate. The following Schemes and Examples are intended to be merely illustrative of the present invention, and not limiting thereof in either scope or spirit. Those of skill in the art will readily understand that known variations of the conditions and processes described in the Schemes and Examples can be used to perform the process of the present invention.
Unless otherwise indicated all starting materials and equipment employed were commercially available. ##STR54##
Schemes I-III are illustrative of methodology useful for preparing various compounds of the present invention. Such methodology is more specifically defined in the examples which follow. Such methodology can be modified by one skilled in the art, substituting known reagents and conditions from conventional methodology to produce the desired compounds.
In Scheme I(A) cinnamic ester C1 is readily prepared from either aldehyde B1 or bromide B2.
Aldehyde B1 is condensed with (EtO).sub.2 P(O)CH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 Et under standard conditions (NaH/THF, 0.degree. to room temperature). The resulting alkene is readily deprotected (TFA, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) to afford the desired cinnamic ester C1.
In a complimentary procedure, bromide B2 can be coupled with ethyl acrylate E1 (Pd(OAc).sub.2, P(O-tolyl).sub.3 iPr.sub.2 NH, 120.degree. C.) to afford the above mentioned cinnamic ester analog. Deprotection affords cinnamic ester C1 as described above.
In Scheme I(B) cinnamic ester C2 is readily prepared from aldehyde B3.
Aldehyde B3 is condensed with (EtO).sub.2 P(O)CH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 Et using standard conditions (NaH, THF, 0.degree. to room temperature.) The resulting nitrophenylcinnamic ester derivative can be reduced (SnCl.sub.2, H.sub.2 O, EtOH, 75.degree.) to afford cinnamic ester C2.
In Scheme I(C) cinnamic ester C3 is readily prepared from aldehyde B4 using the reaction conditions described in Scheme I(B).
In Scheme I(D) cinnamic ester C3 can be prepared from bromide B5.
Bromide B5 can be coupled with alkyl acrylates using a standard Heck coupling procedure (Pd(OAc).sub.2, P(O-tol).sub.3, iPr.sub.2 NH, 120.degree. C.) to afford a nitrocinnamic ester analog. Reduction of the resulting nitrocinnamic ester analog (SnCl.sub.2, EtOH, 75.degree. C.) leads to cinnamic ester C3.
In Scheme I(E) dehydroamino ester C5 can be prepared from aldehyde B6 as described below.
Aldehyde B6 is condensed with N-benzylglycine (Ac.sub.2 O, 80.degree.) and the resulting azalactone is hydrolyzed (MeOH/K.sub.2 CO.sub.3) to afford the corresponding dehydroamino ester analog. Reduction of the nitro aryl moiety (tin (II) chloride) would afford dehydroamino ester C5.
In Scheme I(F) in an analogous fashion to that described in Scheme I(E), aldehyde B7 may be converted into dehydroamino ester C6.
In Scheme I(G) in an analogous fashion to that described in Scheme I(B), aldehyde or ketone B26 may be converted into cinnamic ester C7.
In Scheme I(H) cinnamic ester C8 can be prepared from aldehyde or ketone B28 as described below.
Aldehyde or ketone B28 is condensed with (EtO).sub.2 P(O)CH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 Et under standard conditions (NaH, THF, 0.degree. to room temperature.) The resulting BOC-protected cinnamic ester derivative can be deprotected (TFA/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) to afford cinnamic ester C8.
In Scheme I(I) cinnamic ester C9 can be prepared from amine B29 as described below.
Amine B29 is protected with allyl bromide (K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, EtOH, 60.degree. C.) followed by formylation under standard conditions (POCl.sub.3, DMF). The resulting aldehyde is condensed with (EtO).sub.2 P(O)CH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 Et (NaH, THF, 0.degree. to room temperature). The allyl protected cinnamic ester derivative can be deprotected (Pd(PPh.sub.3).sub.4, N,N'-dimethyl-barbituric acid, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) to afford cinnamic ester C9.
Specifically, in Scheme II:
In the synthesis of intermediate benzoic acids (A1) through (A17), the starting amino benzoic acids ##STR55## are either commercially available or can be converted to such amino benzoic acids via reduction of the corresponding nitro benzoic acid, which can be obtained commercially or synthesized by nitration of the appropriate benzoic acid, followed by reduction to the desired amino benzoic acid. These are all when R.sup.5 is H. If R.sup.5 is other than H, alkylation of the amino functionality can be achieved by conventional methodology.
Furthermore, synthesis of intermediate (A2) can also be accomplished as disclosed generally in U.S. Pat. No. 3,202,660, starting with the appropriate amino benzoic acid. Furthermore, intermediate (A2) and (A15) as well as further analogues of (A2) and (A15) such as substitutions on the heterocyclic ring, oxazolidines, thiazolidines, benzimidazoles and the like can also be accomplished as disclosed in
1) Chem. Pharm. Bull. 41(1) 117-125 (1993)
2) Chem. Pharm. Bull. 33(10) 4409-4421 (1985)
3) J. Med. Chem. 18 (1), 90-99 (1975).
All other reagents in Scheme II are either commercially available or readily synthesized by methodologies known by those skilled in the art.
In Scheme III(A) intermediate A1 or A16 can be coupled with cinnamic esters (C1, C2,C3 or C8) using standard methodologies known by those skilled in the art. Hydrolysis (NaOH, MeOH, H.sub.2 O) of the resulting cinnamic ester (D1, D3,D5 or D7) leads to the desired cinnamic acid analogs (D2,D4,D6 or D8).
In Scheme III(B) intermediate C2 or C3 can be coupled with 3-nitrobenzoyl chloride (Et.sub.3 N, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, 0.degree. C. to room temperature). Reduction of the resulting nitrocinnamic ester derivative D9 (SnCl.sub.2, EtOH, 75.degree. C.) followed by a two step protocol �1) BOCNHCSNHBOC, HgCl.sub.2, Et.sub.3 N, DMF; 2) TFA! affords the guanidinocinnamic ester analog D10. Hydrolysis (NaOH, MeOH, H.sub.2 O) gives the guanidinocinnamic acid D11.
In Scheme III(C) an analogous procedure can be used to prepare cyclic guanidine D12 or D13. Treatment of the aminocinnamic ester analog with either N,N'-bis-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-2-imidazolidinethione (HgCl.sub.2, Et.sub.3 N, DMF, 60.degree. C.) or N,N'-bis-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(1H)-tetrahydropyrimidinethione (HgCl.sub.2, Et.sub.3 N, DMF, 60.degree. C.) followed by deprotection (TFA) and hydrolysis (NaOH, MeOH, H.sub.2 O) yields the cyclic guanidine D12 or D13.
In Scheme III(D) methyl 3-hydroxycinnamate is condensed with 2-bromo-3'-nitroacetophenone (K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, acetone, heat). The resulting phenacyl ether D14 can be converted to cinnamic acid D16 using methodology described in Scheme III(B).
In Scheme III(E) 3-nitrophenol is reacted with 2- bromo-3'-bromoacetophenone (K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, acetone, heat) to give the phenacyl ether D17. Reduction (H.sub.2, 3% Pt/C, EtOAc) to yield D18 followed by a standard Heck coupling procedure with ethyl acrylate (Pd(OAc).sub.2, P(O-tolyl).sub.3, Et.sub.3 N, 100.degree. C.) afford D19. The resulting cinnamic ester D19 can be converted to cinnamic acid D20 using methodology described in Scheme III(C).
In Scheme III(F) cyclopropane D21 is prepared from 3-nitrostyrene and m-CPBA. Addition of t-butyl 3-aminocinnamate (COCl.sub.2, MeCN, heat) gives the cinnamic ester derivative D22. The resulting cinnamic ester D22 can be converted to cinnamic acid D23 using methodology described in Scheme III(B).
In Scheme III(G) aldol condensation of 3-bromobenzaldehyde and 3-nitroacetophenone (KOH, EtOH) provides unsaturated ketone D24. Heck coupling with t-butyl acrylate (Pd(OAc).sub.2, P(O-tolyl).sub.3, Et.sub.3 N, 100.degree. C.) affords the cinnamic ester D25. The resulting cinnamic ester D25 can be converted to cinnamic acid D26 using methodology described in Scheme III(B). Alternatively, unsaturated ketone D24 can be reduced (H.sub.2, PtO, 60 psi) to give saturated ketone D27. In the same manner as previously described saturated ketone D27 can be converted to cinnamic acid D29.
In Scheme III(H) aldol condensation of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde and 3-bromoacetophenone (KOH, EtOH) yields unsaturated ketone D30. In an analogous method with Scheme III(G), unsaturated ketone D30 is converted to cinnamic acids D32 and D35.
In Scheme III(I) 3-nitrostyrene and ethyl 3-bromocinnamate are coupled using a standard Heck procedure (Pd(OAc).sub.2, P(O-tolyl).sub.3, Et.sub.3 N, 90.degree. C.) The resulting alkene D36 can be converted to cinnamic acid D38 using methodology described in Scheme III(B).
In Scheme III(J) 3-nitrobenzyl bromide is alkylated with ethyl 4-hydroxycinnamate (K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, DMF). The resulting benzyl ether D39 can be converted to cinnamic acid D40 using methodology described in Scheme III(C).
In Scheme III(K) 3-nitrobenzamide is condensed with 3-bromophenacyl bromide at 140.degree. C. The resulting oxazole D41 is coupled with t-butyl acrylate using a standard Heck procedure (Pd(OAc).sub.2, P(O-tolyl).sub.3,Et.sub.3 N, 100.degree. C.) The resulting cinnamic ester can be converted to cinnamic acid D42 using methodology described in Scheme III(B).
In Scheme III(L) 4-bromobenzamide is condensed with 3-nitrophenacyl bromide at 140.degree. C. The resulting oxazole D43 can be converted to cinnamic acid D44 using methodology described in Scheme III(K).

Human vitronectin was purified from fresh frozen plasma as previously described �Yatohgo et al., Cell Structure and Function, 13:281-292 (1988)!. Biotinylated human vitronectin was prepared by coupling NHS-biotin from Pierce Chemical Company (Rockford, Ill.) to purified vitronectin as previously described �Charo et al., J. Biol. Chem., 266(3):1415-1421 (1991)!. Assay buffer, OPD substrate tablets, and RIA grade BSA were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo.). Anti-biotin antibody was obtained from Calbiochem (La Jolla, Calif.). Linbro microtiter plates were obtained from Flow Labs (McLean, Va.). ADP reagent was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo.).

Solid Phase Receptor Assays
This assay was essentially the same as previously reported �Niiya et al., Blood, 70:475-483 (1987)!. The purified human vitronectin receptor (.alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3) was diluted from stock solutions to 1.0 g/mL in Tris-buffered saline containing 1.0 mM Ca.sup.++, Mg.sup.++, and Mn.sup.++, pH 7.4 (TBS.sup.+++). The diluted receptor was immediately transferred to Linbro microtiter plates at 100 .mu.L/well (100 ng receptor/well). The plates were sealed and incubated overnight at 4.degree. C. to allow the receptor to bind to the wells. All remaining steps were at room temperature. The assay plates were emptied and 200 .mu.L, of 1% RIA grade BSA in TBS.sup.+++ (TBS.sup.+++ /BSA) were added to block exposed plastic surfaces. Following a 2 hour incubation, the assay plates were washed with TBS.sup.+++ using a 96 well plate washer. Logarithmic serial dilution of the test compound and controls were made starting at a stock concentration of 2 mM and using 2 nM biotinylated vitronectin in TBS.sup.+++ /BSA as the diluent. This premixing of labeled ligand with test (or control) ligand, and subsequent transfer of 50 .mu.L aliquots to the assay plate was carried out with a CETUS Propette robot; the final concentration of the labeled ligand was 1 nM and the highest concentration of test compound was 1.0.times.10.sup.-4 M. The competition occurred for two hours after which all wells were washed with a plate washer as before. Affinity purified horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-biotin antibody was diluted 1:3000 in TBS.sup.+++ /BSA and 125 .mu.L were added to each well. After 30 minutes, the plates were washed and incubated with OPD/H.sub.2 O.sub.2 substrate in 100 mM/L Citrate buffer, pH 5.0. The plate was read with a microtiter plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm and when the maximum-binding control wells reached an absorbance of about 1.0, the final A.sub.450 were recorded for analysis. The data were analyzed using a macro written for use with the EXCEL.TM. spreadsheet program. The mean, standard deviation, and % CV were determined for duplicate concentrations. The mean A.sub.450 values were normalized to the mean of four maximum-binding controls (no competitor added) (B-MAX). The normalized values were subjected to a four parameter curve fit algorithm �Rodbard et al., Int. Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, pp 469 (1977)!, plotted on a semi-log scale, and the computed concentration corresponding to inhibition of 50% of the maximum binding of biotinylated vitronectin (IC.sub.50) and corresponding R.sup.2 was reported for those compounds exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at the highest concentration tested; otherwise the IC.sub.50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested. .beta.-��2-��5-�(aminoiminomethyl)amino!-1-oxopentyl!amino!-1-oxoethyl!amino!-3-pyridinepropanoic acid �U.S. Ser.

The purified human fibrinogen receptor (.alpha..sub.IIb .beta..sub.3) was diluted from stock solutions to 1.0 .mu.g/mL in Tris-buffered saline containing 1.0 mM Ca.sup.++, Mg.sup.++, and Mn.sup.++, pH 7.4 (TBS.sup.+++). The diluted receptor was immediately transferred to Linbro microtiter plates at 100 .mu.L/well (100 ng receptor/well). The plates were sealed and incubated overnight at 4.degree. C. to allow the receptor to bind to the wells. All remaining steps were at room temperature. The assay plates were emptied and 200 .mu.L of 1% RIA grade BSA in TBS.sup.+++ (TBS.sup.+++ /BSA) were added to block exposed plastic surfaces. Following a 2 hour incubation, the assay plates were washed with TBS.sup.+++ using a 96 well plate washer. Logarithmic serial dilution of the test compound and controls were made starting at a stock concentration of 2 mM and using 2 nM biotinylated vitronectin in TBS.sup.+++ /BSA as the diluent. This premixing of labeled ligand with test (or control) ligand, and subsequent transfer of 50 .mu.L aliquots to the assay plate was carried out with a CETUS Propette robot; the final concentration of the labeled ligand was 1 nM and the highest concentration of test compound was 1.0.times.10.sup.-4 M. The competition occurred for two hours after which all wells were washed with a plate washer as before. Affinity purified horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-biotin antibody was diluted 1:3000 in TBS.sup.+++ /BSA and 125 .mu.L were added to each well. After 30 minutes, the plates were washed and incubated with ODD/H.sub.2 O.sub.2 substrate in 100 mM/L citrate buffer, pH 5.0. The plate was read with a microtiter plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm and when the maximum-binding control wells reached an absorbance of about 1.0, the final A.sub.450 were recorded for analysis. The data were analyzed using a macro written for use with the EXCEL.TM. spreadsheet program. The mean, standard deviation, and % CV were determined for duplicate concentrations. The mean A.sub.450 values were normalized to the mean of four maximum-binding controls (no competitor added) (B-MAX). The normalized values were subjected to a four parameter curve fit algorithm, �Robard et al., Int. Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, pp 469 (1977)!, plotted on a semi-log scale, and the computed concentration corresponding to inhibition of 50% of the maximum binding of biotinylated vitronectin (IC.sub.50) and corresponding R.sup.2 was reported for those compounds exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at the highest concentration tested; otherwise the IC.sub.50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested. .beta.-��2-��5-�(aminoiminomethyl)amino!-1-oxopentyl!amino!-1-oxoethyl!amino!-3-pyridinepropanoic acid �U.S. Ser. No. 08/375,338, Example 1! which is a potent .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 antagonist (IC.sub.50 in the range 3-10 nM) was included on each plate as a positive control.
