Fibronectin adhesion inhibitors

Many of the cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions are mediated by protein ligands (e.g. fibronectin, vitronectin and VCAM-1) and their integrin receptors [e.g. VLA-4 (.alpha.4.beta.1]. Recent studies have shown these interactions to play an important role in many physiological (e.g. embryonic development and wound healing) and pathological (e.g. tumour-cell invasion and metastasis, inflammation, atherosclerosis and autoimmune diseases) conditions. Agents which can selectively inhibit some of these interactions are predictably useful for the treatment of a number of diseases.
Integrins are heterodimeric cell surface receptors that are composed of noncovalently associated .alpha. and .beta. subunits. Using molecular biology and protein chemistry, a number of .alpha. and .beta. subunits have been identified. The integrin family can be subdivided into classes based on the .beta. subunits, which can be associated with one or more .alpha. subunits. The most widely distributed integrins belong to the .beta.1 class, also known as the very late antigens (VLA). The second class of integrins are leukocyte-specific receptors and consist of one of three .alpha. subunits (.alpha.L, .alpha.M, or .alpha.X) complexed with the .beta.2 protein. The cytoadhesins .alpha.IIb.beta.3 and .alpha.v.beta.3, constitute the third class of integrins.
A wide variety of proteins serve as ligands for integrin receptors. In general, the proteins recognised by integrins fall into one of three classes: extracellular matrix proteins, plasma proteins, and cell surface molecules. Extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, thrombospondin, and vitronectin bind to a number of integrins. Many of these adhesive proteins also circulate in plasma and bind to activated blood cells. Additional components in plasma that are ligands for integrins include fibrinogen and factor X. Cell-bound complement C3bi and several transmembrane proteins, such as Ig-like cell adhesion molecule (ICAM-1,2,3) and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), which are members of the Ig superfamily, also serve as cell-surface ligands for some integrins.
The target amino acid sequences for many integrins have been identified. For example, the target sequence in .alpha.5.beta.1, .alpha.II.beta.3, and .alpha.v.beta.3, is the Arg-Gly-Asp tripeptide found in proteins such as fibronectin, fibrinogen, thrombospondin, type 1 collagen, vitronectin and vWF. However, the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence is not the only integrin recognition motif used by adhesive ligands. Another integrin .alpha.4.beta.1 binds the variable region (CS1) of fibronectin via the sequence Leu-Asp-Val and the platelet integrin .alpha.IIb.beta.3 also recognises the sequence His-His-Leu-Gly-Gly-Ala-Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val at the carboxy-terminus of the gamma chain of fibrinogen.
The present invention principally relates to agents which block the interaction of the ligand VCAM-1 to its integrin receptor VLA-4 (.alpha.4.beta.1). [Reference for a review on VLA-4: Structure of the Integrin VLA-4 and Its Cell-Cell and Cell Matrix Adhesion Functions, M. E. Hemler, M. J. Elices, C. Parker and Y. Takada, Immunological Reviews, 114 (1990) 45-65.] Integrin .alpha.4.beta.1 is expressed on numerous hematopoietic cells and established cell lines, including hematopoietic precursors, peripheral and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, monocytes, thymocytes and eosinophils. Unlike other .beta.1 integrins that are involved only in cellextracellular matrix interactions, .alpha.4.beta.1 mediates both cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Cells expressing activated .alpha.4.beta.1 bind to the carboxy-terminal cell binding domain of fibronectin (non Arg-Gly-Asp mediated), to VCAM-1 expressed on endothelial cells, and to each other to promote homotypic aggregation. The expression of VCAM-1 by endothelial cells is upregulated by proinflammatory cytokines such as INF-.gamma., TNF-.alpha. and IL-1.beta..
Regulation of .alpha.4.beta.1-mediated cell adhesion is important in numerous physiologic processes, including T-cell proliferation, B-cell localisation to germinal centres, and adhesion of activated T cells and eosinophils to endothelial cells. In addition, integrin .alpha.4.beta.1-mediated processes are implicated in several diseases such as melanoma cell invasion in metastasis, T-cell infiltration of synovial membranes in rheumatoid artritis, autoimmune diabetes, collitis and leukocyte penetration of the blood-brain barrier in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, atherosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, cardiovascular disease and multiple sclerosis. Evidence for the involvement of VLA-4/VCAM-1 interaction in the above disease processes has been accumulated by investigating the role of the peptide CS-1 and antibodies specific for VLA-4 or VCAM-1 in various in vitro and in vivo experimental models of inflammation (e.g. contact cutaneous hypersensitivity response in mice), experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, lung antigen challenge, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, nephritis and allograft rejection. Further relevant diseases include asthma, psoriasis, restenosis, myocarditis and inflammatory bowel disease.
For example, in an experimental model of arthritis (arthritis induced in inbred female Lewis rats with a single intraperitoneal injection of peptidoglycan-polysaccharide fragments from group A streptococcal cell walls), intravenous administration of CS-1 at the initiation of arthritis (days 0-4; 300 .mu.g/day) or on days 11 to 16 in animals with established arthritis, was shown to suppress both acute and chronic inflammation. [Reference: Synthetic Fibronectin Peptides Suppress Arthritis in Rats by Interrupting Leukocyte Adhesion and Recruitment, S. M. Wahl, J. B. Allen, K. L. Hines, T. Imamichi, A. M. Wahl, L. T. Furcht and J. B. McCarthy, J. Clin. Invest., 94 (1994) 655-662].
In another model of inflammation (contact hypersensitivity response in oxazalone or 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene-sensitised mice), intravenous administration of the anti-.alpha.-4 specific monoclonal antibodies R1-2 or PS/2 (4 to 6 hours prior to challenge) significantly inhibited (50-60% reduction in the ear swelling response) the efferent response. [Reference: Monoclonal Antibodies to the Integrin .alpha.-4 Subunit Inhibit the Murine Contact Hypersensitivity Response, P. L. Chisholm, C. A. Williams and R. R. Lobb, Eur. J. Immunol., 23 (1993) 682-688]. In an intestinal inflammation model (acute colitis in Cotton-top tamarin), anti-.alpha.4 integrin monoclonal antibody HP1/2 that binds VLA-4 resulted in significant attenuation of acute colitis. In contrast, two anti-E-selectin monoclonal antibodies (BB11 and EH8) slightly diminished colitis after the 10-day treatment period in Cotton-top tamarin [Reference: Attenuation of Colitis in the Cotton-top Tamarin by Anti-.alpha. 4 Integrin Monoclonal Antibody, D. K. Podolsky, R. Lobb, N. King, C. D. Benjamin, B. Pepinsky, P. Sehgal and M. deBeaumont, J. Clin. Invest., 92 (1993) 372-380].
The antibodies have also been shown to be effective in a model of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an inflammatory condition of the central nervous system with similarities to multiple sclerosis. In both diseases, circulating leukocytes penetrate the blood-brain barrier and damage myelin, resulting in impaired nerve conduction and paralysis. EAE can be induced actively by priming an animal to CNS proteins like myelin basic protein (MBP), or adoptively by injection of activated lymphocytes that are specific for these CNS antigens. Various monoclonal antibodies, [MK/1 (anti-VCAM-1) and PS/12 and LPAM-1 (anti .alpha.4 integrin), when injected into irradiated female (PL/J.times.SJL)F1 mice delayed the onset of disease. When injection of antibody to .alpha.4 integrin (LPAM-1 and PS/2) was continued every 3 day until after onset of disease, not only was the onset of disease delayed, but in this case severity of disease was also significantly decreased. [Reference: Surface Expression of .alpha.4 Integrin by CD4 T Cells Is Required for Their Entry into Brain Parenchyma, J. L. Baron, J. A. Madri, N. H. Ruddle, J. Hashim and C. A. Janeway, Jr., J. Exp. Med., 177 (1993) 57-68].
Antibodies specific for both .alpha.4-integrin (LPAM-1) and one of its ligands, VCAM-1, were also shown to be effective in treating insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in the nonobese diabetic mouse. Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is believed to be an autoimmune disease in which activated T lymphocytes destroy the insulin-producing .beta.-cells of the pancreatic islets. The antibody R1-2 prevented the onset of insulitis in a dose-dependent manner in nonobese diabetic mice. The blocking of disease was accompanied by a marked decrease in lymphocytic infiltration of the islets of Langerhans. [Reference: The Pathogenesis of Adoptive Murine Autoimmune Diabetes Requires an Interaction Between .alpha. 4-Integrins and Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1, J. L. Baron, E-P. Reich, I. Visintin and C. A. Janeway, Jr., J. Clin. Invest., 93 (1994) 1700-1708].
Cells expressing integrin .alpha.4.beta.1 have been shown to bind to sequences in the heparin II binding domain and the alternatively spliced type III connecting segment (IIICS) located in the carboxy-terminal cell binding domain of fibronectin. Within the IIICS region, .alpha.4.beta.1 binds with high affinity to a peptide sequence termed CS-1 (a 25-amino acid peptide), suggesting that this is the major site of .alpha.4.beta.1 interaction in fibronectin. The tripeptide Leu-Asp-Val is the minimal sequence within CS-1 capable of supporting hematopoietic cell adhesion or of inhibiting .alpha.4.beta.1-mediated cell binding to fibronectin. [References for CS1: The Minimal Essential Sequence for a Major Cell Type-Specific Adhesion Site (CS1) Within the Alternatively Spliced Type III Connecting Segrnent Domain of Fibronectin is Leucine-Aspartic Acid-Valine, A.

Chem., 23 (1991) 15075-15079; Activation-Dependent Recognition by Hematopoietic Cells of the LDV Sequence in the V Region of Fibronectin, E. A. Wayner and N. L. Kovach, J. Cell Biol., 116 (1992) 489-497.]
In addition to the Leu-Asp-Val containing sequences mentioned above, a cyclic octapeptide 1-adamantaneacetyl-Cys-Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro-Cys (containing a disulphide bridge between the two cysteine residues) has been reported to be as effective as the LDV containing peptide Cys-Leu-His-Gly-Pro-Glu-Ile-Ieu-Asp-Val-Pro-Ser-Thr in blocking Jurkat cell adhesion to CS-1 coated plates (IC.sub.50 30 .mu.M). The cyclic peptide also inhibited the binding of Jurkat ceuls to fibronectin coated plates. In addition to inhibiting .alpha.4.beta.1-induced adhesion, the octapeptide also inhibited function in .alpha.v.beta.3 as well as .alpha.IIb.beta.IIIa-dependent assays. Therefore the peptide is not selective for .alpha.4.beta.1-mediated adhesion. [Reference: Cyclic RGD Peptide Inhibits .alpha.4.beta.1 Interaction with Connecting Fragment 1 and Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule, P. M. Cardarelli, R. R. Cobb, D. M. Nowlin, W. Scholz, F. Gorcsan, M. Moscinski, M. Yasuhara, S-L. Chiang and T. J. Lobl, J. Biol. Chem., 269 (1994) 18668-18673.]
A few small non-peptidic compounds [Reference: Non-peptidic Surrogates of the Leu-Asp-Val Sequence and Their Use in the Treatment of Inflammation, Autoimmune Diseases and Tumour progression, YEDA Research and Development Co. Ltd, WO 94/02445, Publ. date Feb. 3, 1994] have also been reported to inhibit .alpha.4.beta.1-induced adhesion.
A disulphide cyclic pentapeptide, Arg-Cys-Asp-thioproline-Cys (thioproline=thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid), has also been reported to be an inhibitor of leukocyte cell adhesion to fibronectin. In addition, the cyclic peptide also inhibited the binding to the 120 kDa chymotryptic fragment of fibronectin, which contains the Arg-Gly-Asp central cell binding domain. Again, the peptide was not selective. It binds to both .alpha.4.beta.1 and .alpha.5.beta.1 [Reference: A Novel Cyclic Pentapeptide Inhibits .alpha.4.beta.1 and .alpha.5.beta.1 Integrin-Mediated Cell Adhesion, D. M. Nowlin, F. Gorcsan, M. Moscinski, S-L. Chiang, T. J. Lobl and P. M. Cardarelli, J. Biol. Chem., 268 (1993) 20352-20359.]

The cyclic peptides of the present invention have at least one of the following advantages: they are more potent than known compounds, e.g. CS1 in our tests; they are smaller than CS-1, a 25-amino acid peptide, and therefore easier to synthesise and; cyclic peptides are more stable to enzymic degradation.
Some preferred compounds are set out in FIG. 2. Especially preferred compounds have shown activity in in vivo screens [for example in the mouse in vivo CHS (contact hypersensitivity) model--Example 2.3] as set out below. CS1 at 10 mg/kg/day and 1 mg/kg/day gave 0% inhibition. Compound 3 (FIG. 2) and Compound 4 (FIG. 2) were active at 10 mg/kg/day (39% inhibition) and 1 mg/kg/day (19% inhibition). No toxicity at the effective dose was observed for compounds tested of the present invention.

A basic amino acid is defined as one containing a basic functional group in its side chain, such as for example amino or guanidino either of which may be optionally substituted with C.sub.1-4 alkyl. A preferred slow release parenteral formulation contains from 10 to 100 mg of cyclic peptide per unit dose. In another embodiment of the invention in which LINKER represents a dipeptide one of the amino acids in the dipeptide can optionally be an amino acid without a side chain such as for example .beta.-alanine.
The composition of the invention will normally be administered such that a daily oral dose will be from 0.1 mg/kg, to 50 mg/kg and a daily parenteral dose, will be from 20 micrograms/kg to 10 mg/kg.

In addition to books, a number of reviews [e.g. "Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis: a Silver Anniversary Report", G. Barany, N. Kneib-Cordonier and D. G. Mullen, International Journal of Peptide and Protein Research, 30 (1987) 705-739; "Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis Utilising 9-Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl Amino Acids", G. B. Fields and R. L. Noble, International Journal of Peptide and Protein Research, 35 (1990) 161-214] have also been published on the synthesis of peptides Synthetic advances are also published in the proceedings of the American, European and Japanese Peptide Symposiums. Synthesis may be achieved by automated or manual means.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for the manufacture of a cyclic peptide of formula 1 selected from: (a) the removal of one or more conventional peptide protecting groups from a protected cyclic peptide of Formula 3 (FIG. 1) wherein Pr1 represents a protecting group on the acid group in the side chain of AA3 to give a cyclic peptide of the invention of formula I and optionally, simultaneously or subsequently, also removing any additional conventional peptide protecting groups present in the LINKER and optionally if desired converting the product thus obtained into a salt thereof;
(b) the formation of an amide bond by coupling two peptide units, one containing a carboxylic acid group, or a reactive derivative thereof, and the other containing an amino group, such that a protected or unprotected cyclic peptide having the sequence indicated in formula I is produced, and if necessary, the protecting groups are removed using process (a) above and optionally if desired converting the product thus obtained into a salt thereof;
(c) for a cyclic peptide according to formula 1, having --S(O)-- or --S(O.sub.2)-- in the LINKER, oxidising --S-- (or additionally --S(O)-- in the case of --S(O.sub.2)--) in the LINKER of a precursor cyclic peptide to give a cyclic peptide containing --S(O)-- or --S(O.sub.2)-- in its LINER and optionally if desired converting the product thus obtained into a salt thereof.
The above deprotection and coupling steps can be performed either on a solid support (Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis) or in solution using normal techniques used in the synthesis of organic compounds. With the exception of the solid support, all the other protecting groups, coupling reagents, deblocking reagents and purification techniques are similar in both the solid phase and solution phase peptide synthesis techniques.
For the synthesis of peptides on the solid support, a suitable resin is selected which can either provide a free carboxyl group after cleavage from the resin or a peptide derivative which can be selectively deprotected to give a C-terminal carboxyl group. The solid support may consist of polystyrene beads, polydimethylacrylamide beads, polydimethylacrylamide/polystyrene composite (Polyhipe) or polystyrene-polyoxyethylene resin (Tentagel resins). A few examples of suitable linker group containing solid supports used in the solid phase synthesis of peptides are shown below. In addition to the linkers shown, some other linkers such as hydroxycrotonoylamidomethyl (HYCRAM) can also be used. The first amino acid is then coupled to the resin by the methods described in this application for the synthesis of peptides or by using any of the coupling reagents used in the synthesis of peptides. Examples of some of the coupling reagents are also described in this application. ##STR3##
During the assembly of peptides, the amino acid functional groups not taking part in the reaction are protected by various protecting groups. For example, the N-terminal and the side chain amino groups can be protected by using 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), biphenylisopropoxycarbonyl (Bpoc), 2-[3,5-dimethoxyphenyl]propyl-2-oxycarbonyl (Ddz), adamantyloxycarbonyl (Adoc), allyloxycarbonyl (Aloc), 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc), benzyloxycarbonyl and various substituted benzyloxycarbonyl groups. These protecting groups can be cleaved when required by the standard techniques (e.g. acid or base treatment, catalytic hydrogenolysis and Pd(0) treatment or zinc/acetic acid treatment).
Suitable protecting groups used for the protection of the .alpha.-carboxyl or the side chain carboxyl groups include various esters (e.g. methyl, ethyl, t-butyl, benzyl, nitrobenzyl, allyl and 9-fluorenylmethyl).
Suitable protecting groups used for the protection of the side chain guanidino group in the peptides containing an arginine residue include a nitro, adamantyloxycarbonyl, 4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylbenzenesulphonyl (Mtr), 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulphonyl (Pbf) and 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-sulphonyl (Pmc) groups. Suitable protecting groups used for the protection of the side chain imidazole group in the peptides containing a histidine residue include a trityl, tosyl, dinitrophenyl, Adoc, Boc or Fmoc group.
The protecting group cleavage reactions can be performed at temperatures between 4.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. (preferably at room temperature, about 25.degree. C.). The cleavage reactions can take between 10 minutes to 24 hours.
Suitable coupling methods used for the coupling of the individual amino acids or the peptide fragments include the commonly used azide, symmetrical anhydride, mixed anhydride and various active esters and carbodiimides. In case of various carbodiimides (e.g. dicyclohexyl- or diisopropyl-carbodiimides), a number of additives [e.g. 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and N-hydroxysuccinimide] may also be added. In addition, the amino acid or fragment couplings can also be achieved by using a number of other reagents, e.g. 1H-benzotriazole-1-yl-oxy-tris-pyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP), (2-(1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) and (2-(1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU)].
The coupling reactions can be performed at temperatures between -20.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. The time required for completion of the reaction may be between 10 minutes to 24 hours.
Suitable purification methods for the intermediates and final products include counter current distribution, ion exchange, gel filtration and various other chromatographic techniques including high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) along with many other standard techniques used in organic chemistry (e.g. solvent extraction and crystallisation).
Salts may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium and the like and organic salts with amines or organic bases.

EXAMPLE 1
Synthetic Details for Compounds 1-114 Listed in Tables 1 and 2
The end product cyclic peptides disclosed in tables 1 and 2 (refer to Table 2 for the numbering system) were obtained by cyclisation of the corresponding precursor (generally linear) peptides disclosed in table 1. (Note however that the final amide bond can be formed between any amino acid or LINKER position to give the same cyclic peptide). The general procedure used for one of the compounds, c(Ile-Leu-Asp-Val-NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.5 --CO) (compound no. 3, table 2) is shown in FIG. 3 and is described below in detail. In the case of other compounds, only the variations from the standard procedure are mentioned.
1. Synthesis of c(Ile-Leu-Asp-Val-NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.5 --CO) (compound 3, FIG. 3)
The cyclic peptide was prepared by the solid phase procedure using 2-chlorotritylchloride resin. After assembling the partially protected linear peptide on the resin, the peptide was cleaved from the resin and used in the subsequent steps without any purification. However, the final product was purified extensively by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) before characterisation.
1.1 Preparation of c(Ile-Leu-Asp-Val-NH(CH.sub.2).sub.5 --CO) [compound 3] (Step 6, FIG. 3)
The protected cyclic peptide, c(Ile-Leu-Asp(OBu.sup.t)-Val-NH(CH.sub.2).sub.5 --CO), (125 mg, 0.2 mmole) was treated for 30 minutes with a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid-water (95:5, 15 ml) and triisopropylsilane (200 .mu.l) to remove the aspartic acid side chain protecting group. Evaporation to a small volume, followed by trituration with ether yielded the crude cyclic peptide (75 mg). The crude product was purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC on a Vydac 218TP1022 column using a gradient of acetonitrile-water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (15-55%) over a period of 65 minutes at a flow rate of 10.0 ml/minute. The product-containing fractions were combined and freeze dried to give the purified cyclic peptide (50 mg). The peptide [single peak on HPLC, retention time 18.03 minutes on a Novapak C.sub.18 column using a gradient of acetonitrile-water containing 0.1%-trifluoroacetic acid (10-60%) over a period of 30 minutes at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/minute] was characterised by amino acid analysis and mass spectroscopy (table 2). The protected cyclic peptide starting material was prepared as follows.

A solution of Fmoc-NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.5 --COOH (355 mg, 1 mmole) and diisopropylethylamine (560 .mu.l, 3.2 mmole) in dichloromethane (5 ml) was added and the suspension was shaken mechanically for 45 minutes. Methanol (9 ml) and diisopropylethylamine (1 ml) were added and the shaking was continued for a further five minute period. The resin was collected by filtration and washed successively with dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, isopropanol and ether, and finally dried at 50.degree. C. in a vacuum oven (weight 1.33 g)

(a) Removal of the Fmoc group with two treatments (1.times.5 minutes and 1.times.15 minutes) of 20% piperidine in dimethylformamide followed by five washes with dimethylformamide to remove excess reagents and cleavage products.
(b) Acylation with Fmoc-Val (678 mg, 2 mmole) activated with O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU) (760 mg, 2 mmole) and diisopropylethylamine (700 .mu.l, 4 mmole) in dimethylformamide (4 ml) for 1 hour. The resin was again washed five times with dimethylformamide to remove excess reagents. The above deprotection and coupling cycles were repeated using Fmoc-Asp(OBu.sup.t)--OH (822 mg, 2 mmole), Fmoc-Leu-OH (700 mg, 2 mmole) and Fmoc-Ile-OH (700 mg, 2 mmole) to give Fmoc-Ile-Leu-Asp(OBu.sup.t)-Val-NH(CH.sub.2).sub.5 --COO-chlorotrityl resin. The N-terminal Fmoc group was cleaved (step 3) with 20% piperidine in dimethylformamide (1.times.5 minutes and 1.times.15 minutes) and the peptide resin, Ile-Leu-Asp(OBu.sup.t)-Val-NH(CH.sub.2).sub.5 --COO-chlorotrityl resin, was washed successively with dimethylformamide, dichloromethane and ether and dried in a vacuum oven at 50.degree.

A 10% solution of diisopropylethylarnine in methanol (10 ml) was added and the shaking was continued for 10 minutes. The resin was filtered off, washed successively with dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, ether and dried at 50.degree. C. in a vacuum oven (weight 1.13 g).
The above resin was placed in a reaction vessel fitted with a sintered glass disc. The following series of reactions were then carried out manually to obtain the desired peptide resin.
(a) Removal of the Fmoc group with two treatments (1.times.5 minutes and 1.times.15 minutes) of 20% piperidine in dimethylformamide followed by five washes with dimethylformamide to remove excess reagents and cleavage products.
(b) Acylation with Fmoc-Val (678 mg, 2 mmole) activated with O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU) (760 mg, 2 mmole) and diisopropylethylamine (700 .mu.l, 4 mmole) in dimethylformamide (4 ml) for 1 hour. The resin was again washed five times with dimethylformamide to remove excess reagents.

The peptide resin was suspended in a mixture of acetic acid-trifluoroethanol-dichloromethane (2:2:6) (25 ml) for 2 hours. The resin was removed by filtration, washed with the above solvent mixture. The combined filtrates were evaporated and the residue triturated with ether to give the linear tetrapeptide derivative as an acetate salt.

2.1 MOLT-4 cell/Fibronectin-VCAM-1 Adhesion Assay.
The MOLT-4 cell/Fibronectin-VCAM-1 adhesion assay is used to investigate the interaction of the integrin VLA4 (Very Late Antigen, .alpha.4/.beta.1) expressed on the MOLT-4 cell membrane with fibronectin or recombinant soluble VCAM-1 (rsVCAM-1). Fibronectin or rsVCAM-1 are coated overnight at 4.degree. C. onto polystyrene 96-well microtitre plates at concentrations of 20 .mu.g/ml and 1 .mu.g/ml respectively. Following this, a concentrated BSA solution (10 mg/ml) is added to block non-specific binding sites. After aspiration of these solutions, equal volumes of compound and MOLT-4 cell suspension (1.times.10E6 cells/ml) are added. Adhesion takes place during a 2 hour incubation at 37.degree. C., non or loosely adherent cells are removed by gentle agitation followed by vacuum aspiration. Quantitation of the remaining adherent cells is by means of a calorimetric assay of acid phosphatase activity, which is read on a spectrophotometer. Compounds which inhibit adhesion result in a lower absorbance reading. Standard, control and test conditions are assayed in triplicate, percentage inhibition being calculated with respect to total (no inhibitor) and non-specific (no fibronectin) standards on each plate.

Notes on Sequence Listing
Tables 1 & 2 in this specification give a list of Compound Numbers. Sequence listings generated using the Patentin software have to be provided for some patent offices; but this is understood not to be obligatory for D amino acid containing peptides.
Accordingly the Sequence Listing provided in this specification does not include all the peptides included in Tables 1 & 2.
For the sake of convenience and clarity the following text gives a comparison between the Compound Numbers used in Tables 1 & 2 and the SEQ ID NO: given in the Sequence listing.
