Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to reagents useful as anticoagulants. More specifically, the invention relates to the use of compounds having the formula I, and pharmaceutical salts thereof, as anticoagulants. The compounds inhibit the ability of factor VIIa (fVIIa) in complex with tissue factor (TF) to cleave a low-molecular weight substrate and/or factor X and, as a result, blood coagulation initiated by tissue factor is inhibited. The invention further relates to the use of compound I as an inhibitor of clotting activity, and methods of inhibiting clotting activity, tissue factor activity, and FVIIa activity as well as methods for treatment of coagulation related diseases states.

The invention also relates to novel compounds with anticoagulative effect and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Blood coagulation is a process consisting of a complex interaction of various blood components, or factors, which eventually gives rise to a fibrin clot. Generally, the blood components which participate in what has been referred to as the coagulation “cascade” are proenzymes or zymogens, enzymatically inactive proteins, which are converted to proteolytic enzymes by the action of an activator, itself an activated clotting factor. Coagulation factors that have undergone such a conversion and generally referred to as “active factors”, and are designated by the addition of the letter “a” to the name of the coagulation factor (e.g. fVIIa).

Activated factor X (fXa) is required to convert prothrombin to thrombin, which then converts fibrinogen to fibrin as a final stage in forming a fibrin clot. There are two systems, or pathways that promote the activation of factor X. The “intrinsic pathway” refers to those reactions that lead to thrombin formation through utilisation of factors present only in plasma. A series of protease-mediated activations ultimately generates factor IXa, which, in conjunction with factor Villa, cleaves factor X into Xa. An identical proteolysis is effected by fVIIa and its cofactor TF in the “extrinsic pathway” of blood coagulation. TF is a membrane bound protein and does not normally circulate in plasma. Upon vessel disruption, however, it is exposed and forms a complex with fVIIa to catalyse factor X activation or factor IX activation in the presence of Ca 2+ and phospholipid (Nemerson and Gentry, Biochemistry 25:4020-4033 (1986)). While the relative importance of the two coagulation pathways in hemostasis is unclear, in recent years fVIIa and TF have been found to play a pivotal role in the initiation and regulation of blood coagulation.

FVII is a trace plasma glycoprotein that circulates in blood as a single-chain zymogen. The zymogen is catalytically inactive (Williams et al., J. Biol. Chem . 264:7536-7543 (1989); Rao et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA . 85:6687-6691 (1988)). Single-chain fVII may be converted to two-chain fVIIa by factor Xa, factor XIIa, factor IXa, fVIIa or thrombin in vitro. Factor Xa is believed to be the major physiological activator of fVII. Like several other plasma proteins involved in hemostasis, fVII is dependent on vitamin K for its activity, which is required for the gamma-carboxylation of multiple glutamic acid residues that are clustered in the amino terminus of the protein. These gamma-carboxylated glutamic acids are required for the metal-associated interaction of fVII with phospholipids.

The conversion of zymogen fVII into the activated two-chain molecule occurs by cleavage of an internal Arg152-Ile153 peptide bond (Hagen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83: 2412-2416 (1986); Thim et al., Biochemistry 27:7785-7793 (1988)). In the presence of TF, phospholipids and calcium ions, the two-chain fVIIa rapidly activates factor X or factor IX by limited proteolysis.

It is often desirable to selectively block or inhibit the coagulation cascade in a patient. Anticoagulants such as heparin, coumarin, derivatives of coumarin, indandione derivatives, thrombin inhibitors, factor Xa inhibitors, modified fVII or other agents may be used.

Inhibition of coagulation is beneficial in a number of diseased states, for example 25 during kidney dialysis, or to treat deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and a host of other medical disorders. For example, heparin treatment or extracorporeal treatment with citrate ions (U.S. Pat. No. 4,500,309) may be used in dialysis to prevent coagulation during the course of treatment. Heparin is also used in preventing deep vein thrombosis in patients undergoing surgery. Treatment with heparin and other anticoagulants may, however, have undesirable side effects. Available anticoagulants generally act throughout the body, rather than acting specifically at the site of injury, i.e. the site at which the coagulation cascade is active. Heparin, for example, may cause severe bleedings. Furthermore, with a half-life of approximately 80 minutes, heparin is rapidly cleared from the blood, necessitating frequent administrating. Because heparin acts as a cofactor for antithrombin III (AT III), and AT III is rapidly depleted in DIC treatment, it is often difficult to maintain the proper heparin dosage, necessitating continuous monitoring of AT III and heparin levels. Heparin is also ineffective if AT III depletion is extreme. Further, prolonged use of heparin may also increase platelet aggregation and reduce platelet count, and has been implicated in the development of osteoporosis. Indandione derivatives may also have toxic side effects.

Other known anticoagulants comprise thrombin and factor Xa inhibitors derived from bloodsucking organisms. Antithrombins, hirudin, hirulog and hirugen are recombinant proteins or peptides derived from the leach Hirudo medicinalis , whereas the factor Xa inhibitor antistatin and the recombinant derivative rTAP are tick-derived proteins. Inhibitors of platelet aggregation such as monoclonal antibodies or synthetic peptides, which interfere with the platelet receptor GPIIb/IIa are also effective as anticoagulants.

Bleeding complications are observed as an undesired major disadvantage of anti-thrombin, anti-factor Xa, as well as anti-platelet reagents. This side effect is strongly decreased or absent with inhibitors of the fVIIa/TF activity. Such anticoagulants comprise the physiological inhibitor TFPI (tissue factor pathway inhibitor) and modified fVII (fVIIai), which is fVIIa modified in such a way that it is catalytically inactive but still binds to TF and competes with active fVIIa.

In addition to the anticoagulants briefly described above, several naturally occurring proteins have been found to have anticoagulant activity. For example, Reutelingsperger (U.S. Pat. No. 4,736,018) isolated anticoagulant proteins from bovine aorta and human umbilical vein arteries. Maki et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,732,891) disclose human placenta-derived anticoagulant proteins. In addition, AT III has been proposed as a therapeutic anticoagulant (Schipper et al., Lancet 1 (8069): 854-856 (1978); Jordan, U.S. Pat. No. 4,386,025; Bock et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,517,294).

Proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the vessel wall is an important event in the formation of vascular lesions in atherosclerosis, after vascular reconstruction or in response to other vascular injury. For example, treatment of atherosclerosis frequently includes the clearing of blocked vessels by angioplasty, endarterectomy or reduction atherectomy, or by bypass grafting, surgical procedures in which atherosclerotic plaques are compressed or removed through catheterization (angioplasty), stripped away from the arterial wall through an incision (endarterectomy) or bypassed with natural or synthetic grafts. These procedures remove the vascular endothelium, disturb the underlying intimal layer, and result in the death of medial SMCs. This injury is followed by medial SMC roliferation and migration into the intima, which typically occurs within the first few weeks nd up to six months after injury and stops when the overlying endothelial cell layer is re-stablished. In humans, these lesions are composed of about 20% cells and 80% extracellular matrix.

In about 30% or more of patients treated by angioplasty, endarterectomy or bypass grafts, thrombosis and/or SMC proliferation in the intima causes re-occlusion of the vessel and consequent failure of the reconstructive surgery. This closure of the vessel subsequent to surgery is known as restenosis.

Modified FVIIa (FVIIai) has been shown to effectively suppress the restenosis process possibly as a result of a decreased procoagulant activity and thrombin generation initially after treatment of the constricted vessel.

For long term prophylactic treatment and increased compliance it would be desirable to have access to low-molecular-weight compounds which may be administered via a route other than intravenously and which have an inhibitory effect on fVIIa-TF activity similar to that of fVIIai.

There is still a need in the art for improved compositions having anticoagulant activity which can be administered orally or otherwise non-intravenously at relatively low doses and not producing the undesirable side effects associated with traditional anticoagulant compositions. The present invention fulfills this need by providing anticoagulants that act specifically on fVIIa-TF at sites of injury, and further provides other related advantages such as its effect on the restenosis process. As compared to most other anticoagulants with an effect on the fVIIa-TF activity, the present invention has the advantage that it is a small synthetic molecule suitable for oral administration and for prophylactic treatment of atherosclerotic patients at risk for thrombosis.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The compounds above may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. Such carriers include water, physiological saline, ethanol, polyols, e.g., glycerol or propylene glycol, or vegetable oils. As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable carriers” also encompasses any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antifungal agents, preservatives, isotonic agents and the like. Except insofar as any conventional medium is incompatible with the active ingredient and its intended use, its use in the compositions of the present invention is contemplated.

The compositions containing the compounds of this invention may be prepared by conventional techniques and appear in conventional forms, for example, capsules, tablets, solutions or suspensions. The pharmaceutical carrier employed may be a conventional solid or liquid carrier. Examples of solid carriers are lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatine, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate and stearic acid. Examples of liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil and water. Similarly, the carrier or diluent may include any time delay material known to the art, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or mixed with a wax.

If a solid carrier for oral administration is used, the preparation can be tabletted, placed in a hard gelatine capsule in powder or pellet form or it can be in the form of a troche or lozenge. The amount of solid carrier will vary widely but will usually be from about 25 mg to about 1 g. If a liquid carrier is used, the preparation may be in the form of a syrup, emulsion, soft gelatine capsule or sterile injectable liquid such as an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspension or solution.

Generally, the compounds of this invention are dispensed in unit dosage form comprising 50-200 mg of active ingredient in or together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier per unit dosage. Generally, the dosage range of the compound for a small mammal, such as a rabbit, is 15-50 mmoles per kg of body weight; for larger mammals, such as humans, 5-50 mmoles, preferably about 10-20 mmoles, per kg of body weight, is useful. This corresponds to about 2-25 mg/kg body weight. However, a preferred dosage range is from 1 to about 100 mg/day, or from about 1 to about 100 mg per dose when administered to patients, e.g. humans, as a drug.

A typical tablet which may be prepared by conventional tabletting techniques contains

Core:
Active compound (as free compound 100 mg
or salt thereof)
Colloidal silicon dioxide (Areosil ®) 1.5 mg
Cellulose, microcryst. (Avicel ®) 70 mg
Modified cellulose gum (Ac-Di-Sol ®) 7.5 mg
Magnesium stearate
Coating:
HPMC                             approx. 9 mg
*Mywacett ® 9-40 T               approx. 0.9 mg
*Acylated monoglyceride used as plasticizer for film coating.

The route of administration may be any route which effectively transports the active compound to the appropriate or desired site of action, such as oral or parenteral, e.g., rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intranasal, intramuscular, topical, intravenous, intraurethral, ophthalmic solution or an ointment, the oral route being preferred.

Due to their high degree of activity, the compounds of the invention may be administered to a subject, e.g. a living animal body, in need of such treatment, elimination, alleviation, or amelioration of an indication such as prolonged bleeding or disorders related to the haemostatic balance, often preferably in the form of an alkali metal or earth alkali metal salt thereof, concurrently, simultaneously, or together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, especially and preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition thereof, whether by oral, rectal, or parenteral (including subcutaneous) route, in an effective amount. Suitable dosage ranges varies as indicated above depending as usual upon the exact mode of administration, form in which administered, the indication towards which the administration is directed, the subject involved and the body weight of the subject involved, and the preference and experience of the physician or veterinarian in charge.

Methods for Identifylng Inhibitory Compounds

The general strategy for identifylng compounds is depicted below:

Inhibitory Compounds are Identified in a fX Activation Assay:

The compounds are dissolved in DMSO and mixed with a solution of fVIIa in Ca 2 +-containing buffer (1+5). 30 μl of this mixture was then mixed with 45 μl TF (relipidated in PC/PS vesicles) and 25 μl of a solution containing fX, all in Ca 2 +-containing buffer. This gives final concentrations of 100 pM fVIIa, 5 pM TF, 175 nM fX and various concentrations of the compounds. After a 5-min incubation, the fVIIa/TF-catalyzed activation of fX is terminated by the addition of 50 μl buffer containing enough EDTA to give an excess over the Ca 2+ ions present. 50 μl of a 2-mM solution of S-2765 (fXa substrate) is then added and the fXa formed is allowed to hydrolyze the substrate for 10 minutes during which the absorbance at 405 nm is continuously monitored in a SPECTRAmax™ 340 plate reader. The slope of the absorption curve is compared to that of a control where DMSO alone was added to fVIIa/TF/fX.

Test of Anticoagulant Potency in a fVIIaTF-initiated Clotting Assay:

The test compounds, 20 mM in DMSO, are diluted in citrated normal human plasma just before the analysis (1+19) and placed in the sample carousel. 55 μl sample (compound in plasma) is mixed with 55 μl of thromboplastin (Innovin, Dade) and incubated for 5 min. The clotting reaction is started by adding 55 μl of a 25-mM CaCl 2 solution, ylelding a final compound concentration of 0,33 mM. The clotting time is measured using an ACL 300 R coagulometer. The ratio between the clotting time in the presence and absence of test compound is used to quantify the anticoagulant efficiency.

The compounds with general formula I have interesting pharmacological properties. For example, the compounds of this invention can be used to modulate and normalize an impaired haemostatic balance in mammals caused by deficiency or malfunction of blood clotting factors or their inhibitors. The fVIIa and in particular the fVIIa/TF activity plays an important role in the control of the coagulation cascade, and modulators of this key regulatory activity such as the present invention can be used in the treatment of coagulation-related diseased states.

Preferably the pharmaceutical composition is administered by the oral route. However, the route of administration of the compositions containing a compound of formula I may be any route which effectively transports the active compound to its site of action, such as transdermal, pulmonal, subcutaneous, rectal, etc.

The pharmaceutical composition comprising compounds with formula I may be useful for modulating and normalizing an impaired haemostatic balance in a mammal. In particular, the pharmaceutical composition may be useful for the treatment of coagulation-related diseased states. More particularly the pharmaceutical composition may be useful as an inhibitor of blood coagulation in a mammal, as an inhibitor of clotting activity in a mammal, as an inhibitor of deposition of fibrin in a mammal, as an inhibitor of platelet deposition in a mammal, in the treatment of mammals suffering from deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), vascular restenosis, platelet deposition and associated disorders, myocardial infarction, and in the prophylactic treatment of mammals with atherosclerotic vessels at risk for developing thrombosis. Throughout this specification the term mammal is also intended to comprise a human.

The regimen for any patient to be treated with the compositions according to the present invention should be determined by those skilled in the art. The daily dose to be administered in therapy can be determined by a physician and will depend on the particular compound employed, on the route of administration and on the age and the condition of the patient. The daily dose comprises an effective amount (i.e. a therapeutically effective amount) of a compound according to the invention wherein the amount can be determined by a physician and will depend on the particular compound employed, on the route of administration and on the age and the condition of the patient. A convenient daily dosage can be in the range of from about 0.1 μmol to about 0.2 mmol of the active ingredient.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for inhibiting TF activity in a mammal which method comprises administering an effective amount of a compound of formula I, in combination with a pharmaceutical acceptable excipient and/or carrier to the mammal in need of such a treatment.

The invention also relates to a method for inhibiting fVIIa activity by substantially reducing the ability of activated fVIIa to catalyze TF-enhanced activation of factors X and IX comprising administering a compound with formula I, in combination with a pharmaceutical acceptable excipient and/or carrier to a mammal in need of such a treatment.

The invention also relates to a method for substantially inhibiting the binding of fVII/fVIIa to TF which method comprises administering an effective amount of a compound of formula I, in combination with a pharmaceutical acceptable excipient and/or carrier to the mammal in need of such a treatment.

The compositions with formula I are particularly useful in methods for treating patients when formulated into pharmaceutical compositions, where they may be given by oral administration to individuals suffering from a variety of diseased states to treat coagulation-related conditions.

Among the medical indications for the subject compositions are those commonly treated with anticoagulants, such as, for example, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and myocardial infarction. With an oral administration, the compositions of the invention is particular useful in prophylactic treatment of patients with atherosclerotic vessels at risk for thrombosis. The compositions can also be used to inhibit vascular restenosis and platelet deposition and associated disorders.

Typically for oral administration to humans the pharmaceutical compositions will comprise one or more compounds of the invention and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and buffers.

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts with non-oxic acids, either inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid, or organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, gluconic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, embonic acid, methanesulphonic acid and malonic acid.

Pharmaceutical compositions which comprise at least one compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof in connection with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be in the form of powders, solutions, or suspensions, which may or may not be divided in unit dosage form or in the form of capsules or tablets. A preferred composition is in the form of an composition for oral administering.

The pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound with formula I or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof may further comprise carriers, diluents, absorption enhancers, tablet disintegrating agents and other ingredients which are conventionally used in the art. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 to 99%, more preferred from 10 to 90 of the active ingredient. Examples of solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, dextrin, lactose, sugar, talc, gelatin, pectin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, low melting waxes and cocoa butter. Liquid compositions include sterile solutions, suspensions and emulsions suitable for parenteral injection.

The compositions of this invention are prepared by methods known per se by the skilled art worker (see, for example, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 1995).

The present invention is further illusrated by the following examples which, however, are not to be construed as limiting the scope of protection. The features disclosed in the foregoing description and in the following examples may, both separately and in any combination thereof, be material for realizing the invention in diverse forms thereof.
