BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cysteine proteases represent an enzymatic class of proteins that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds by a nucleophilic sulfhydryl group of a cysteine residue in the active site of the enzyme. Several normal and disease processes in mammals have been associated with cysteine protease activity and include, but are not limited to: osteoporosis, osteoarthritis (Inui, T., O. Ishibashi, J Biol Chem 1997, 272(13), 8109–12; Saftig, P., E. Hunziker, et al., Adv Exp Med Biol 2000+ADs 2000, 477, 293–303; Saftig, P., E. Hunziker, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1998, 95(23), 13453–8), periodontal diseases, Paget's disease, atherosclerosis (Jormsjo, S., D. M. Wuttge, et al., Am J Pathol 2002 161(3), 939–45), multiple sclerosis (Beck, H., G. Schwarz, et al., Eur J Immunol 2001, 31(12), 3726–36), rheumatoid arthritis (Nakagawa, T. Y., W. H. Brissette, et al., Immunity 1999, 10(2), 207–17; Hou, W. S., Z. Li, et al., Am J Pathol 2001, 159(6), 2167–77), juvenile onset diabetes, lupus, asthma (Cimerman, N., P. M. Brguljan, et al., Pflugers Arch 2001, 442(6 Suppl 1), R204–6), tissue rejection, Alzheimer's disease (Lemere, C. A., J. S. Munger, et al., Am J Pathol 1995, 146(4), 848–60), Parkinson's disease (Liu, Y., L. Fallon, et al., Cell 2002, 111(2), 209–18), neuronal degeneration, shock (Jaeschke, H., M. A. Fisher, et al., J Immunol 1998, 160(7), 3480–6), cancer (Fernandez, P. L., X. Farre, et al., Int J Cancer 2001, 95(1), 51–5), malaria (Malhotra, P., P. V. Dasaradhi, et al., Mol Microbiol 2002, 45(5), 1245–54), Chagas (Eakin, A. E., A. A. Mills, et al., J Biol Chem 1992, 267(11), 7411–20), leishmaniasis, shistosomiasis, and African trypanosomiasis (Caffrey, C. R., S. Scory, et al., Curr Drug Targets 2000, 1(2), 155–62; Lalmanach, G., A. Boulange, et al., Biol Chem 2002, 383(5), 739–49).


Cathepsins are a subclass of cysteine protease that belong to the enzyme classification EC 3.4.22 (Barrett, A. J., N. D. Rawlings, et al., Handbook of proteolytic enzymes. London, Academic Press). Cathepsins play a major role in lysosomal, endosomal, and extracellular protein degradation and have thus been implicated in many disease processes. For example, Cathepsin B [EC 3.4.22.1] has been postulated to play a role in tumor metastasis (Berquin, I. M. and B. F. Sloane Adv Exp Med Biol 1996, 389, 281–94).


Cathepsin S [EC 3.4.22.27] is largely expressed in professional antigen presenting cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. Cathepsin S has been shown to be required for proper MHC class II antigen presentation (Shi, G. P., J. A. Villadangos, et al., Immunity 1999, 10(2) 197–206). As a result of its non-redundant role in MHC class II antigen presentation, cathepsin S has been associated with inflammation, arthritis, and atherosclerosis. The selective expression of cathepsin K [EC 3.4.22.38] in osteoclasts coupled with the ability of cathepsin K to degrade type I collagen suggests that it plays a role in normal and pathogenic bone remodeling (Bromme, D., K. Okamoto, et al., J Biol Chem 1996, 271(4), 2126–32). There is a need in the art for compounds and methods that selectively inhibit specific cysteine proteases for treating several pathogenic disorders in mammals. The present invention satisfies these and other needs.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for the selective inhibition of cathepsin S. The compounds of the present invention are selective for cathepsin S in the presence of other cathepsin isozymes (e.g., cathespin K). In a preferred embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are selective for cathepsin S in the presence of cathepsin K. The present invention also provides methods for treating a disease state in a subject by selectively inhibiting cathepsin S in the presence of other cathepsin isozymes. In a preferred aspect, cathepsin S is selectively inhibited in the presence of cathepsin K.


As such, the present invention provides a compound of Formula I:

“Treat”, “treating” and “treatment” refer to a method of alleviating or abating a disease and/or its attendant symptoms.


“Inhibition”, “inhibits” and “inhibitor” refer to a compound that prohibits, or a method of prohibiting, a specific action or function.


“Inhibition constant”, Ki, is the dissociation constant of the enzyme-inhibitor complex, or the reciprocal of the binding affinity of the inhibitor to the enzyme. For classical inhibition the value of Ki is much greater than the enzyme concentration and the Ki can be measured by monitoring the rate of reaction for a competitive substrate at multiple inhibitor concentrations. The inhibited rates are then fit by nonlinear regression to the following equation:

where vo is the initial rate of substrate processing in the absence of inhibitor, vi is the initial rate of substrate processing at a concentration [I] of inhibitor, Km is the steady state Michaelis constant (Fersht, A. Structure and Mechanism in Protein Science. New York, W.H. Freeman and Company, 1999), and [S] is the concentration of competitive substrate.


The assumption being made for the classical inhibition described above is that the free inhibitor concentration is equal to the total inhibitor concentration. For inhibitors that have Ki's that are approximately equal to the enzyme concentration [E], the assumption that the free inhibitor concentration is equal to the total inhibitor concentration is no longer valid and an alternative equation has to be fit for determination of the apparent inhibition constant, Kiapp using described methods (Kuzmic, P., K. C. Elrod, et al., Anal Biochem 2000, 286(1), 45–50):

Compounds of the present invention are either obtained in the free form, or as a salt thereof if salt forming groups are present, or as esters if ester forming groups are present.


Compounds of the present invention that have acidic groups can be converted into salts with pharmaceutically acceptable bases, e.g., an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide, advantageously in the presence of an ethereal or alcoholic solvent, such as a lower alkanol. Resulting salts can be converted into the free compounds, e.g., by treatment with acids. These, or other salts can also be used for purification of the compounds obtained. Ammonium salts are obtained by reaction with the appropriate amine, e.g., diethylamine, and the like.


In certain aspects, compounds of the present invention having basic groups can be converted into acid addition salts, especially pharmaceutically acceptable salts. These are formed, for example, with inorganic acids, such as mineral acids, for example, sulfuric acid, a phosphoric or hydrohalic acid, or with organic carboxylic acids, such as (C1–C4) alkane carboxylic acids which, for example, are unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, for example, acetic acid, such as saturated or unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, for example, oxalic, succinic, maleic or fumaric acid, such as hydroxycarboxylic acids, for example, glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric or citric acid, such as amino acids, for example, aspartic or glutamic acid, or with organic sulfonic acids, such as (C1–C4)-alkylsuflonic acids (for example, methanesulfonic acid) or arylsulfonic acids which are unsubstituted or substituted (for example, by halogen). Preferred are salts formed with hydrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid and maleic acid.


In view of the close relationship between the free compounds and the compounds in the form of their salts or esters, whenever a compound is referred to in this context, a corresponding salt or ester is also intended, provided such is possible or appropriate under the circumstances.


The compounds, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of their hydrates, or include other solvents used for their crystallization.


The compounds of the present invention that comprise free hydroxyl groups may also exist in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable, physiologically cleavable esters, and as such are included within the scope of the invention. Such pharmaceutically acceptable esters are preferably prodrug ester derivatives, such being convertible by solvolysis or cleavage under physiological conditions to the corresponding compounds of the present invention which comprise free hydroxyl groups. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug esters are those derived from a carboxylic acid, a carbonic acid monoester or a carbamic acid, preferably esters derived from an optionally substituted lower alkanoic acid or an arylcarboxylic acid.


As will be apparent to one of skill in the art, certain compounds of the present invention possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, diastereomers, enantiomers, geometric isomers and individual isomers are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.


The present invention provides compounds which inhibit cathepsin S selectively. In certain preferred aspects, the present invention provides compounds which selectively inhibit cathepsin S in the presence of cathepsin isozymes, such as cathepsin A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, L, M, O, P, Q, R, V, W, X and combinations thereof. In a more preferred aspect, the present invention provides compounds which selectively inhibit cathepsin S in the presence of cathepsin K.


Compounds of the present invention useful for treating cathepsin S dependent conditions, preferably have cathepsin S inhibition constants less than 10 μM. More preferably, compounds of the present invention useful for treating cathepsin S dependent conditions have cathepsin S inhibition constants of less than 1.0 μM.

Step A: O-t-Butyl-L-tyrosine 1 (2.00 g, 7.8 mmol) was dissolved in H2O (10 mL) containing equimolar amounts of NaOH (0.31 g, 7.8 mmol). The solution was cooled to 0° C., then m-toluoyl chloride (1.04 mL, 7.8 mmol) was added dropwise under vigorous stirring. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for approx. 2 h. After acidification with 0.25 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.2), the product was extracted from the reaction mixture three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent was removed in vacuo to yield (S)-3-(4-tert-Butoxy-phenyl)-2-(3-methyl-benzoylamino)-propionic acid 2 (2.17 g, 6.1 mmol, 78%) as a white solid: 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ=7.51–6.87 (m, 8H), 4.82 (dd, J=5.0, J=9.8, 1H), 3.33–3.28 (m, 1H), 3.09–3.03 (m, 1H), 2.35 (s, 3H), 1.27 (s, 9H).

B. Assays for Cathepsin Inhibitory Activity


Cathepsin S


The optimal substrate for cathepsin S, acetyl-histidine-proline-valine-lysine-amino carbamoyl coumarin, was identified from screening a combinatorial library of fluorogenic peptide substrates (Harris, J. L., B. J. Backes, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2000, 97(14), 7754–9). Kinetic measurements are performed in a total reaction volume of 30 μl in 384-well microtiter plates. Cathepsin S, at a final concentration of 0.3–3 nM (active site), is incubated with the compounds at twelve varying concentrations in a buffer containing 100 mM NaAc (pH5.5), 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% Brij-35 for 20 minutes at room temperature. Control reactions in the absence of inhibitor are performed in replicates of 24. The reactions are initiated by adding the substrate, acetyl-histidine-proline-valine-lysine-amino carbamoyl coumarin, to a final concentration of 50 μM. The rate of substrate hydrolysis is measured by monitoring the increase in fluorescence at an excitation wavelength of 380 nm and an emission wavelength of 450 nm that results from cleavage of the aniline bond in the substrate by the enzyme. The apparent inhibition constants for the compounds are determined from the enzyme progress curves (Kuzmic, P., K. C. Elrod, et al., Anal Biochem 2000, 286(1), 45–50) and are then used to calculate the inhibition constants for competitive inhibitors.


Cathepsin K


The optimal substrate for cathepsin K, acetyl-lysine-histidine-proline-lysine-amino carbamoyl coumarin, was identified from screening a combinatorial library of fluorogenic peptide substrates (Harris, J. L., B. J. Backes, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2000, 97(14), 7754–9). Kinetic measurements are performed in a total reaction volume of 30 μl in 384-well microtiter plates. Cathepsin K, at a final concentration of 3.5 nM (active site), is incubated with the compounds at twelve varying concentrations in a buffer containing 100 mM NaAc (pH5.5), 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% Brij-35 for 20 minutes at room temperature. Control reactions in the absence of inhibitor are performed in replicates of 24. The reactions are initiated by adding the substrate, acetyl-lysine-histidine-proline-lysine-amino carbamoyl coumarin, to a final concentration of 40 μM. The rate of substrate hydrolysis is measured by monitoring the increase in fluorescence at an excitation wavelength of 380 nm and an emission wavelength of 450 nm that results from cleavage of the aniline bond in the substrate by the enzyme. The apparent inhibition constants for the compounds are determined from the enzyme progress curves (Kuzmic, P., K. C. Elrod, et al., Anal Biochem 2000, 286(1), 45–50) and are then used to calculate the inhibition constants for competitive inhibitors.


Cathepsin L


The optimal substrate for cathepsin L, acetyl-histidine-lysine-phenylalanine-lysine-amino carbamoyl coumarin, was identified from screening a combinatorial library of fluorogenic peptide substrates (Harris, J. L., B. J. Backes, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2000, 97(14), 7754–9). Kinetic measurements are performed in a total reaction volume of 30 μl in 384-well microtiter plates. Cathepsin L, at a final concentration of 0.1 nM (active site), is incubated with the compounds at twelve varying concentrations in a buffer containing 100 mM NaAc (pH5.5), 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% Brij-35 for 20 minutes at room temperature. Control reactions in the absence of inhibitor are performed in replicates of 24. The reactions are initiated by adding the substrate, acetyl-histidine-lysine-phenylalanine-lysine-amino carbamoyl coumarin, to a final concentration of 20 μM. The rate of substrate hydrolysis is measured by monitoring the increase in fluorescence at an excitation wavelength of 380 nm and an emission wavelength of 450 nm that results from cleavage of the aniline bond in the substrate by the enzyme. The apparent inhibition constants for the compounds are determined from the enzyme progress curves (Kuzmic, P., K. C. Elrod, et al., Anal Biochem 2000, 286(1), 45–50) and are then used to calculate the inhibition constants for competitive inhibitors.


Cathepsin B


The optimal substrate for cathepsin B, acetyl-histidine-proline-valine-lysine-amino carbamoyl coumarin, was identified from screening a combinatorial library of fluorogenic peptide substrates (Harris, J. L., B. J. Backes, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2000, 97(14), 7754–9). Kinetic measurements are performed in a total reaction volume of 30 μl in 384-well microtiter plates. Cathepsin B, at a final concentration of 1.5 nM (active site), is incubated with the compounds at twelve varying concentrations in a buffer containing 100 mM NaAc (pH5.5), 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% Brij-35 for 20 minutes at room temperature. Control reactions in the absence of inhibitor are performed in replicates of 24. The reactions are initiated by adding the substrate, acetyl-histidine-proline-valine-lysine-amino carbamoyl coumarin, to a final concentration of 10 μM.

The apparent inhibition constants for the compounds are determined from the enzyme progress curves (Kuzmic, P., K. C. Elrod, et al., Anal Biochem 2000, 286(1), 45–50) and are then used to calculate the inhibition constants for competitive inhibitors.
