Guanidino protease inhibitors

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel compounds that function as enzyme inhibitors, and particularly to a new class of non-peptidic inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes.
2. Related Art
Proteases are enzymes that cleave proteins at single, specific peptide bonds. Proteases can be classified into four generic classes: serine, thiol or cysteinyl, acid or aspartyl, and metalloproteases (Cuypers et al., J. Biol. Chem. 257:7086 (1982)). Proteases are essential to a variety of biological activities, such as digestion, formation and dissolution of blood clots, reproduction and the immune reaction to foreign cells and organisms. Aberrant proteolysis is associated with a number of disease states in man and other mammals. The human neutrophil proteases, elastase and cathepsin G, have been implicated as contributing to disease states marked by tissue destruction. These disease states include emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis, corneal ulcers and glomerular nephritis. (Barret, in Enzyme Inhibitors as Drugs, Sandler, ed., University Park Press, Baltimore, (1980)). Additional proteases such as plasmin, C-1 esterase, C-3 convertase, urokinase, plasminogen activator, acrosin, and kallikreins play key roles in normal biological functions of mammals. In many instances, it is beneficial to disrupt the function of one or more proteolytic enzymes in the course of therapeutically treating a mammal.
Serine proteases include such enzymes as elastase (human leukocyte), cathepsin G, plasmin, C-1 esterase, C-3 convertase, urokinase, plasminogen activator, acrosin, chymotrypsin, trypsin, thrombin, factor Xa and kallikreins.
Human leukocyte elastase is released by polymorphonuclear leukocytes at sites of inflammation and thus is a contributing cause for a number of disease states. Cathepsin G is another human neutrophil serine protease. Compounds with the ability to inhibit the activity of these enzymes are expected to have an anti-inflammatory effect useful in the treatment of gout, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, and in the treatment of (emphysema. Chymotrypsin and trypsin are digestive enzymes. Inhibitors of these enzymes are useful in treating pancreatitis. Inhibitors of urokinase and plasminogen activator are useful in treating excessive cell growth disease states, such as benign prostatic hypertrophy, prostatic carcinoma and psoriasis.
The serine protease thrombin occupies a central role in hemostasis and thrombosis, and as a multifactorial protein, induces a number of effects on platelets, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, leukocytes, the heart, and neurons (Tapparelli et al., Trends in Pharmacological Sciences 14:366-376 (1993); Lefkovits and Topol, Circulation 90(3):1522-1536 (1994); Harker, Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis 5 (Suppl 1):S47-S58 (1994)). Activation of the coagulation cascade through either the intrinsic pathway (contact activation) or the extrinsic pathway (activation by exposure of plasma to a non-endothelial surface, damage to vessel walls or tissue factor release) leads to a series of biochemical events that converge on thrombin. Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen ultimately leading to a hemostatic plug (clot formation), potently activates platelets through a unique proteolytic cleavage of the cell surface thrombin receptor (Coughlin, Seminars in Hematology 31(4):270-277 (1994)), and autoamplifies its own production through a feedback mechanism. Thus, inhibitors of thrombin function have therapeutic potential in a host of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases, including: myocardial infarction; unstable angina; stroke; restenosis; deep vein thrombosis; disseminated intravascular coagulation caused by trauma, sepsis or tumor metastasis; hemodialysis; cardiopulmonary bypass surgery; adult respiratory distress syndrome; endotoxic shock; rheumatoid arthritis; ulcerative colitis; induration; metastasis; hypercoagulability during chemotherapy; Alzheimer's disease; and Down's syndrome.
Factor Xa is another serine protease in the coagulation pathway. Factor Xa associates with factor Va and calcium on a phospholipid membrane thereby forming a prothrombinase complex. This prothrombinase complex then converts prothrombin to thrombin (Claeson, Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis 5:411-436 (1994); Harker, Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis 5 (Suppl 1):S47-S58 (1994)). Inhibitors of factor Xa are thought to offer an advantage over agents that directly inhibit thrombin since direct thrombin inhibitors still permit significant new thrombin generation (Lefkovits and Topol, Circulation 90(3):1522-1536 (1994); Harker, Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis 5 (Suppl 1):S47-S58 (1994)).
A need continues to exist for non-peptidic compounds that are potent and selective protease inhibitors, and which possess greater bioavailability and fewer side-effects than currently available protease inhibitors. Accordingly, new classes of potent protease inhibitors, characterized by potent inhibitory capacity and low mammalian toxicity, are potentially valuable therapeutic agents for a variety of conditions, including treatment of a number of mammalian proteolytic disease states.

The compounds of the present invention defined by Formulae I-V in which Z is --OSO.sub.2 R.sup.1 or Z is --OCH.sub.2 R.sup.1 may be prepared by standard techniques 5 as outlined in Schemes Ia and Ib.
Scheme Ia illustrates the preparation of compounds of the present invention where Z-R.sup.1 is --OSO.sub.2 --R.sup.1. ##STR15## R.sup.1 -R.sup.3, R.sup.7 -R.sup.8, R.sup.a, R.sup.b, R.sup.c, n, and are as defined above; P.sup.a is a hydroxyl protecting group or hydrogen, and P.sup.b is an amino protecting group.
Phenols 1 (where P is H) are converted to monosulfonates 2 by treatment with appropriate sulfonyl chlorides. Preferred conditions include treating phenol 1 with a sulfonyl chloride in a biphasic system composed of either and an aqueous phase saturated with NaHCO.sub.3. Alternatively, the reaction may be effected first by deprotonating 1 with a strong base, most preferably NaH, in a polar organic solvent, such as DMF or tetrahydrofuran, followed by treating the deprotonated phenol with the sulfonyl chloride. Still alternatively, phenol 1, in a typical organic solvent, such as methylene chloride, may be converted to 2 by treating the phenol with sulfonyl chloride in the presence of an amine base, such as N-methylmorpholine.
Phenols 1 may be monoprotected (P.sup.a is a protecting group) with a variety of protecting groups known in the art, such as esters and benzyl ethers (Green, T. W. & Wuts, P. G. M., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York (1991)). Deprotection of the hydroxyl groups is routinely accomplished using reaction conditions well-known in the art. For example, deprotection of benzyl ethers may be effected through catalytic hydrogenation using palladium on carbon as a catalyst in solvents such as ethanol or tetrahydrofuran. Deprotection of an acetate is accomplished by basic hydrolysis, most preferably with sodium hydroxide in aqueous tetrahydrofuran.
Phenols 2 are coupled to 3 (for L.dbd.OH) using a Mitsunobu coupling procedure (Mitsunobu, O., Synthesis 1 (1981)) to provide 4. Preferred coupling conditions include using a trialkylphosphine or triarylphosphine, such as triphenylphosphine, in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or methylene chloride, and a dialkyl azodicarboxylate, such as diethyl azodicarboxylate. In some cases, it is advantageous to add an amine base such as N-methylmorpholine. The amine terminus of 3 is protected with a protecting group P.sup.b that is readily removed from 4. Amino-protecting groups are well known in the art (Greene, T. W. & Wuts, P. G. M., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York (1991)). Deprotection of the amino group is effected by employing reaction conditions that are well known in the art. For example, the t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) may be removed by exposure to strongly acidic medium, such as hydrogen chloride, in a suitable solvent, such as dioxane, or a mixed trifluoroacetic acid/methylene chloride solvent system. Benzyloxycarbonyl (CBz) groups may be removed be hydrogen using palladium on carbon as a catalyst in solvents such as ethanol or tetrahydrofuran. The resulting amine is then converted to guanidine 5 using standard reagents such as aminoiminomethanesulfonic acid (Miller, A. E. & Bischoff, J. J., Synthesis, 777 (1986)) or 1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine hydrochloride (Bernatowicz, M. S. et al., J. Org. Chem. 57(8):2497 (1992)).
Scheme Ib illustrates the preparation of compounds of the present invention where Z-R.sup.1 is --O--CH.sub.2 --R.sup.1. ##STR16## R.sup.1 -R.sup.3, R.sup.7 -R.sup.8, R.sup.a, R.sup.b, R.sup.c, n, m, P.sup.a and P.sup.b are as defined above.
Aryl ethers 8 are synthesized in a fashion analogous to synthesis of 5. Phenol 1 (P is H) is converted to derivative 6 by treating 1 with a strong base, preferably NaH, in a suitable solvent such as DMF, followed by addition of a reactive alkyl or benzyl compound 4 (where X is a reactive functional group such as iodide, chloride, bromide or alkylsulfonate). Alternatively, the Mitsunobu Reaction may be used with an appropriate R.sup.1 CH.sub.2 X(X.dbd.OH) using the reaction conditions described above. The use of suitable alcohol protecting groups (P.sup.a), such as esters, to suppress over-alkylation, is well known in the art (Greene, T. W. & Wuts, P. G. M., Protective Groups in Organic Synthysis, 2nd edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York (1991)). The protecting group may then be removed using well-known techniques, for example by hydrolysis with aqueous NaOH, when an ester protecting group is employed. Phenol 6 is then converted to 8 using the conditions described for formation of 5.
Scheme II depicts synthetic routes to additional compounds of the present invention. ##STR17## R.sup.1 -R.sup.3, R.sup.7 -R.sup.8, R.sup.10, R.sup.a, R.sup.b, R.sup.c, n, m, P.sup.a and P.sup.b are as defined above.
According to Scheme II, a nitrophenol 9 may be coupled to compound 3 by standard techniques. Preferably, the reaction is effected by the Mitsunobu reaction (where L is OH). Alternatively, 9 may be treated with a base, such as NaH, in a suitable solvent such as DMF or THF, followed by addition of 3 (where L is a reactive group, such as Cl, Br, I or alkylsulfonate). The nitro group is thereafter reduced, for example, by catalytic reduction using palladium on carbon in a suitable solvent such as ethanol or tetrahydrofuran. The resulting product in then treated with an appropriate sulfonyl chloride (R.sup.1 SO.sub.2 Cl) to provide 11. Removal of the amine protecting group P.sup.b is accomplished by techniques known in the art. For example, the t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) is removed by exposure to a strongly acidic medium, such as hydrogen chloride in a suitable solvent such as dioxane or trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride. Benzyloxycarbonyl (CBz) groups are removed by catalytic hydrogen using palladium on carbon as a catalyst in solvents such as ethanol or tetrahydrofuran.
The resulting amine is then converted to guanidine 13 using standard reagents such as aminoiminomethanesulfonic acid (Miller, A. E. & Bischoff, J. J., Synthesis, 777(1986)) or 1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine hydrochloride (Bernatowicz, M. S. et al., J Org Chem. 57(8):2497 (1992)). Alternatively, bis-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)/guanylpyrazole (Michael S. Bernatowicz, M. S. et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 34(2):3389 (1993)) may be used, which, after deprotection with an acidic medium, such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid, provides 13. N-Substituted sulfonamide derivative 12 is obtained by alkylation of 11 employing a suitable alkylating agent (R.sup.10 X) in the presence of a base, most preferably Cs.sub.2 CO.sub.3 using a polar solvent such as DMF. Deprotection and guanidinylation are then executed in a manner similar to the conversion of 11 to 13.
Additionally, compounds of the present invention may be prepared by Scheme III. ##STR18## R.sup.1 -R.sup.3, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, R.sup.10, R.sup.a, R.sup.b, R.sup.c, n, m and P.sup.b are each as defined above.
According to Scheme III, nitroaniline 14 is converted to a sulfonamide by treatment with an appropriate sulfonyl chloride R.sup.1 SO.sub.2 Cl in the presence of a weak base, such as N-methylmorpholine. The resulting sulfonamide nitrogen is alkylated with a suitable alkylating agent (R.sup.10 X) in the presence of a base, preferably an alkali metal carbonate such as Cs.sub.2 CO.sub.3 or K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, using a polar solvent, such as DMF, to provide intermediate 15. After reduction of the nitro group, the resulting aniline is coupled to a carboxylic acid, 16, to provide amide 17. Amide coupling may be performed using any of a number of common peptide coupling reagents. Preferably, one of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or Castro's reagent (BOP) are employed (B. Castro et al., Tetrahedron Lett.:1219 (1975)). Alternatively, 17 may be formed by coupling the aniline with the corresponding acid chloride of acid 16 in the presence of an acid scavenger, such as N-methylmorpholine. Amide 17 is converted to amine 18 by reduction of the amide functionality with an appropriate hydride reagent, preferably borane-THF complex or chlorotrimethylsilane and lithium borohydride. This reaction occurs in a suitable polar solvent, such as THF. Removal of the amine protecting group P.sup.b and formation of the guanidine as described in Scheme II provides the desired compound 19. Alternatively the amide nitrogen may be alkylated using a strong base, such as sodium hydride, in a suitable polar solvent such as DMF, followed by treatment with an alkylating agent (R.sup.10 X) to afford intermediate 20. Reduction of the amide, as executed in the formation of 18, to give 21 followed by deprotection and guanidinylation as previously described provides the analogous compound 22.
Additionally, compounds of the present invention may be prepared by Scheme IV. ##STR19## R.sup.1 -R.sup.3, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, R.sup.a, R.sup.b, R.sup.c, n, m and P.sup.b are each as defined above.
Compounds 25 are obtained by treating phenols 23 with an appropriate sulfonyl chloride 24 under standard conditions. Preferred conditions include treating phenol 23 with 24 in the presence of diisopropylethylamine in methylene chloride. Compound 25 is converted to 28 using a set of sequential reductive aminations, first with amine 26, the product of which is coupled to 27, where P.sup.b and R.sup.8 are defined previously. The preferred reducing agent is tetramethylammonium triacetoxyborohydride. Alternatively, sodium triacetoxyborohydride, or sodium cyanoborohydride may be used. Still alternatively, reductive amination may be carried out first by forming an imine (Schiff's base) between amine and the carbonyl component using a catalytic amount of acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Still alternatively, the imine may be reduced using catalytic hydrogenation using a catalyst such as palladium on carbon in standard solvents such as ethanol. Conversions of 28 to 29 are accomplished using the conditions defined in Scheme Ia.
It is to be understood that in each of the above-mentioned schemes, an additional substituent, R.sup.4, may be present on the phenyl ring of the starting material.
For medicinal use, the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, those salts in which the anion does not contribute significantly to toxicity or pharmacological activity of the organic cation, are preferred. The acid addition salts are obtained either by reaction of an organic base of Formulae I-V with an organic or inorganic acid, preferably by contact in solution, or by any of the standard methods detailed in the literature available to any practitioner skilled in the art. Examples of useful organic acids are carboxylic acids such as maleic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, propionic acid, fumaric acid, isethionic acid, succinic acid, cyclamic acid, pivalic acid and the like; useful inorganic acids are hydrohalide acids such as HCl, HBr, HI; sulfuric acid; phosphoric acid and the like. Preferred acids for forming acid addition salts include HCl and acetic acid.
The compounds of the present invention represent a novel class of potent inhibitors of metallo, acid, thiol and serine proteases. Examples of the serine proteases inhibited by compounds within the scope of the invention include leukocyte neutrophil elastase, a proteolytic enzyme implicated in the pathogenesis of emphysema; chymotrypsin and trypsin, digestive enzymes; pancreatic elastase, and cathepsin G, a chymotrypsin-like protease also associated with leukocytes; thrombin and factor Xa, proteolytic enzymes in the blood coagulation pathway. Inhibition of thermolysin, a metalloprotease, and pepsin, an acid protease, are also contemplated uses of compounds of the present invention.
An end use application of the compounds that inhibit chymotrypsin and trypsin is in the treatment of pancreatitis. For their end-use application, the potency and other biochemical parameters of the enzyme-inhibiting characteristics of the compounds of the present invention is readily ascertained by standard biochemical techniques well-known in the art. Actual dose ranges for their specific end-use application will, of course, depend upon the nature and severity of the disease state of the patient or animal to be treated, as determined by the attending diagnostician. It is expected that a useful dose range will be about 0.01 to 10 mg per kg per day for an effective therapeutic effect.
Compounds of the present invention that are distinguished by their ability to inhibit either factor Xa or thrombin may be employed for a number of therapeutic purposes. As factor Xa or thrombin inhibitors, compounds of the present invention inhibit thrombin production. Therefore, these compounds are useful for the treatment or prophylaxis of states characterized by abnormal venous or arterial thrombosis involving either thrombin production or action. These states include, but are not limited to, deep vein thrombosis; disseminated intravascular coagulopathy which occurs during septic shock, viral infections and cancer; myocardial infarction; stroke; coronary artery bypass; hip replacement; and thrombus formation resulting from either thrombolytic therapy or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCTA). The compounds of the present invention may also be used as an anticoagulant in extracorporeal blood circuits.
By virtue of the effects of both factor Xa and thrombin on a host of cell types, such as smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells and neutrophils, the compounds of the present invention find additional use in the treatment or prophylaxis of adult respiratory distress syndrome; inflammatory responses, such as edema; reperfusion damage; atherosclerosis; and restenosis following an injury such as balloon angioplasty, atherectomy, and arterial stent placement.
The compounds of the present invention may be useful in treating neoplasia and metastasis as well as neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
When employed as thrombin or factor Xa inhibitors, the compounds of the present invention may be administered in an effective amount within the dosage range of about 0.1 to about 500 mg/kg, preferably between 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight, on a regimen in single or 2-4 divided daily doses.
When employed as inhibitors of thrombin, the compounds of the present invention may be used in combination with thrombolytic agents such as tissue plasminogen activator, streptokinase, and urokinase. Additionally, the compounds of the present invention may be used in combination with other antithrombotic or anticoagulant drugs such as, but: not limited to, fibrinogen antagonists and thromboxane receptor antagonists.
Human leucocyte elastase is released by polymorphonuclear leukocytes at sites of inflammation and thus is a contributing cause for a number of disease states. Thus, compounds of the present invention are expected to have an anti-inflammatory effect useful in the treatment of gout, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, and in the treatment of emphysema. Cathepsin G has also been implicated in the disease states of arthritis, gout and emphysema, and in addition, glomerulonephritis and lung infestations caused by infections in the lung. In their end-use application the enzyme inhibitory properties of the compounds of Formulae I-V is readily ascertained by standard biochemical techniques that are well-known in the art.
The neutrophil elastase inhibitory properties, of compounds within the scope of the present invention are determined by the following method. Neutrophil elastase is prepared by the procedure described by Baugh et al., Biochemistry 15: 836 (1979). Enzyme assays are conducted substantially according to the procedure disclosed by Nakajima et al., J Biol. Chem. 254: 4027 (1979), in assay mixtures containing 0.10M Hepes (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid) buffer, pH 7.5; 0.5M NaCl; 10% dimethylsulfoxide; and 1.50.times.10.sup.-4 M MeOSuc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-p-nitroanilide as substrate. Inhibitors are evaluated by comparing enzymatic activity measured in the presence and absence of inhibitor.
The Cathepsin G inhibitory properties of compounds within the scope of the present invention are determined by the following method. A preparation of partially purified human Cathepsin G is obtained by the procedure of Baugh et al., Biochemistry 15: 836 (1979). Leukocyte granules are a major source for the preparation of leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G (chymotrypsin-like activity). Leukocytes are lysed and granules are isolated. The leukocyte granules are extracted with 0.20M sodium acetate, pH 4.0, and extracts are dialyzed against 0.05M Tris buffer, pH 8.0 containing 0.05M NaCl overnight at 4.degree. C. A protein fraction precipitates during dialysis and is isolated by centrifugation. This fraction contains most of the chymotrypsin-like activity of leukocyte granules. Specific substrates are prepared for each enzyme, namely MeOSuc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-p-nitroanilide and Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide. The latter is not hydrolyzed by leukocyte elastase. Enzyme preparations are assayed in 2.00 mL of 0.10M Hepes buffer, pH 7.5, containing 0.50M NaCl, 10% dimethylsulfoxide and 0.0020M Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide as a substrate. Hydrolysis of the p-nitroanilide substrate is monitored at 405 nm and at 25.degree..
Useful dose range for the application of compounds of the present invention as neutrophil elastase inhibitors and as Cathepsin G inhibitors will of course depend upon the nature and severity of the disease state, as determined by the attending diagnostician, with the range of 0.01 to 10 mg/kg of body weight, per day, being useful for the aforementioned diseases states.
Compounds of the present invention that inhibit urokinase or plasminogen activator are potentially useful in treating excessive cell growth disease state. As such the compounds of the present invention may also be useful in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and prostatic carcinoma, the treatment of psoriasis, and in their use as abortifacients. For their end-use application, the potency and other biochemical parameters of the enzyme inhibiting characteristics of the compounds of the present invention are readily ascertained by standard biochemical techniques well-known in the art. Actual dose ranges for their specific end-use application will, of course, depend upon the nature and severity of the disease state of the patient or animal to be treated as determined by the attending diagnostician. It is to be expected that the general end-use application dose range will be about 0.01 to 10 mg per kg per day for an effective therapeutic effect.
Additional uses for compounds of the present invention include analysis of commercial reagent enzymes for active site concentration. For example, chymotrypsin is supplied as a standard reagent for use in clinical quantitation of chymotrypsin activity in pancreatic juices and feces. Such assays are diagnostic for gastrointestinal and pancreatic disorders. Pancreatic elastase is also supplied commercially as a reagent for quantitation of .alpha..sub.1 -antitrypsin in plasma. Plasma .alpha..sub.1 -antitrypsin increases in concentration during the course of several inflammatory diseases, and .alpha..sub.1 -antitrypsin deficiencies are associated with increased incidence of lung disease. Compounds of the present invention can be used to enhance the accuracy and reproducibility of this assay by titrametric standardization of the commercial elastase supplied as a reagent. See, U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,082.
Protease activity in certain protein extracts during purification of particular proteins is a recurring problem which can complicate and compromise the results of protein isolation procedures. Certain proteases present in such extracts can be inhibited during purification steps by compounds of the present invention, which bind tightly to various proteolytic enzymes.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be administered to any animal that can experience the beneficial effect, of the compounds of the invention. Foremost among such animals are humans, although the invention is not intended to be so limited.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered by any means that achieve their intended purpose. For example, administration can be by parenteral, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, transdermal, buccal, or ocular routes. Alternatively, or concurrently, administration can be by the oral route. The dosage administered will be dependent upon the age, health, and weight of the recipient, kind of concurrent treatment, if any, frequency of treatment, and the nature of the effect desired.
In addition to the pharmacologically active compounds, the new pharmaceutical preparations can contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries that facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically.
The pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention are manufactured in a manner that is, itself, known, for example, by means of conventional mixing, granulating, dragee-making, dissolving, or lyophilizing processes. Thus, pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by combining the active compounds with solid excipients, optionally grinding the resulting mixture and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired or necessary, to obtain tablets or dragee cores.
Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as saccharides, for example, lactose or sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol, cellulose preparations and/or calcium phosphates, for example, tricalcium phosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, as well as binders, such as, starch paste, using, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone. If desired, disintegrating agents can be added, such as, the above-mentioned starches and also carboxymethyl-starch, cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as, sodium alginate. Auxiliaries are, above all, flow-regulating agents and lubricants, for example, silica, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as, magnesium stearate or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycol. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings that, if desired, are resistant to gastric juices. For this purpose, concentrated saccharide solutions can be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. In order to produce coatings resistant to gastric juices, solutions of suitable cellulose preparations, such as, acetylcellulose phthalate or hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose phthalate, are used. Dye stuffs or pigments can be added to the tablets or dragee coatings, for example, for identification or in order to characterize combinations of active compound doses.
Other pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as, glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active compounds in the form of granules that may be mixed with fillers such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds are preferably dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as, fatty oils or liquid paraffin. In addition, stabilizers may be added.
Suitable formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form, for example, water-soluble salts, alkaline solutions and cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. Especially preferred alkaline salts are ammonium salts prepared, for example, with Tris, choline hydroxide, Bis-Tris propane, N-methylglucamine, or arginine. One or more modified or unmodified cyclodextrins can be employed to stabilize and increase the water solubility of compounds of the present invention. Useful cyclodextrins for this purpose are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,727,064, 4,764,604, and 5,024,998.
In addition, suspensions of the active compounds as appropriate oily injection suspensions can be administered. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils, for example, sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, for example, ethyl oleate or triglycerides or polyethylene glycol-400 (the compounds are soluble in PEG-400). Aqueous injection suspensions can contain substances that increase the viscosity of the suspension, for example, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, and/or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain stabilizers.

In a typical K.sub.i determination, substrate is prepared in DMSO, and diluted into an assay buffer consisting of 50 mM HEPES, 200 mM NaCl, pH 7.5. The final concentration for each of the substrates is listed below. In general, substrate concentrations are lower than the experimentally determined value for K.sub.m. Test compounds are prepared as a 0.16 mg/mL solution in DMSO. Dilutions are prepared in DMSO yielding 8 final concentrations encompassing a 200-fold concentration range. Enzyme solutions are prepared at the concentrations listed below in assay buffer.
In a typical K.sub.i determination, into each well of a 96 well plate is pipetted 280 .mu.L of substrate solution, 10 .mu.L of inhibitor solution, and the plate allowed to thermally equilibrate at 37.degree. C. in a Molecular Devices plate reader for >10 minutes. Reactions were initiated by the addition of a 20 .mu.L aliquot of enzyme, and the absorbance increase at 405 nM is recorded for 15 minutes. Data corresponding to less than 10% of the total substrate hydrolysis were used in the calculations. The ratio of the velocity (rate of the change in absorbance as a function of time) for a sample containing no inhibitor is divided by the velocity of a sample containing inhibitor, and is plotted as a function of inhibitor concentration. The data are fit to a linear regression, and the value of the slope of the line calculated. The inverse of the slope is the experimentally determined K.sub.i value.
Thrombin: Thrombin activity was assessed as the ability to hydrolyze the substrate Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Arg-pNA. Substrate solutions were prepared at a concentration of 20 .mu.M (20 .mu.M<<K.sub.m =180 .mu.M) in assay buffer. Final DMSO concentration was 0.3%. Purified human .alpha.-thrombin was diluted into assay buffer to a concentration of 450 nM. Final reagent concentrations were: �thrombin!=0.5 nM, �Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Arg-pNA!=20 .mu.M.
Factor Xa: Factor Xa activity was assessed as the ability to hydrolyze the substrate Bz-Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-pNA. Substrate solutions were prepared at a concentration of 51 .mu.M (51 .mu.M<<K.sub.m =1.3 mM) in assay buffer. Final DMSO concentration was 0.3%. Purified activated human Factor Xa was diluted into assay buffer to a concentration of 300 nM. Final reagent concentrations were: �FXa!=20 nM, �Bz-Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-pNA!=51 .mu.M.
Plasmin: Plasmin activity was assessed as the ability to hydrolyze the substrate Tos-Gly-Pro-Lys-pNA. Substrate solutions were prepared at a concentration of 22 .mu.M (22 .mu.M<<K.sub.m =240 .mu.M) in assay buffer. Final DMSO concentration was 0.3%. Purified human plasmin was diluted into assay buffer to a concentration of 225 nM. Final reagent concentrations were: �plasmin!=15 nM, �Tos-Gly-Pro-Lys-pNA!=22 .mu.M.
Chymotrypsin: Chymotrypsin activity was assessed as the ability to hydrolyze the substrate Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA. Substrate solutions were prepared at a concentration of 14 .mu.M (14 .mu.M<<K.sub.m =61 uM) in assay buffer. Final DMSO concentration was 0.3%. Purified bovine a-chymotrypsin was diluted into assay buffer to a concentration of 45 nM. Final reagent concentrations were: �chymotrypsin!=3 nM, �Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA!=14 .mu.M.
Trypsin: Trypsin activity was assessed as the ability to hydrolyze the substrate Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA. Substrate solutions were prepared at a concentration of 14 .mu.M (14 .mu.M<<K.sub.m =291 .mu.M) in assay buffer. Final DMSO concentration was 0.3%. Purified bovine trypsin was diluted into assay buffer to a concentration of 150 nM. Final reagent concentrations were: �Trypsin! .dbd.10 nM, �Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA!=14 .mu.M.
