Para-substituted phenylene derivatives

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

Examples of pharmacologically acceptable salts include the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, phosphate, acetate, propionate, lactate, maleate, malate, succinate, tartrate salts and the like. All of the pharmacologically acceptable salts may be prepared by conventional means. (See Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 66(1), 1-19 (1977) for additional examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.)
For the selective inhibition or antagonism of .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrins, compounds of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, or by inhalation spray, or topically in unit dosage formulations containing conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes, for example, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal, infusion techniques or intraperitonally.
The compounds of the present invention are administered by any suitable route in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. Therapeutically effective doses of the compounds required to prevent or arrest the progress of or to treat the medical condition are readily ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art using preclinical and clinical approaches familiar to the medicinal arts.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of treating conditions mediated by selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 cell surface receptor which method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound selected from the class of compounds depicted in Formulas I-VIII, wherein one or more compounds of the Formulas I-VIII is administered in association with one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein as "carrier" materials) and if desired other active ingredients.

The following Schemes and Examples are intended to be merely illustrative of the present invention, and not limiting thereof in either scope or spirit. Those of skill in the art will readily understand that known variations of the conditions and processes described in the Schemes and Examples can be used to perform the process of the present invention.
Unless otherwise indicated all starting materials and equipment employed were commercially available. ##STR58##
Schemes I, II and III are illustrative of methodology useful for preparing various compounds of the present invention. Such methodology is more specifically defined in the examples which follow. Such methodology can be modified by one skilled in the art, substituting known reagents and conditions from conventional methodology to produce the desired compounds.
Specifically, in Scheme I:
In the synthesis of intermediate benzoic acids (A1) through (A16), the starting amino benzoic acids ##STR59## are either commercially available or can be converted to such amino benzoic acids via reduction of the corresponding nitro benzoic acid, which can be obtained commercially or synthesized by nitration of the appropriate benzoic acid, followed by reduction to the desired amino benzoic acid. These are all when R.sup.5 is H. If R.sup.5 is other than H, alkylation of the amino functionality can be achieved by conventional methodology.
Furthermore, synthesis of intermediate (A2) can also be accomplished as disclosed generally in U.S. Pat. No. 3,202,660, starting with the appropriate amino benzoic acid. Furthermore, intermediate (A2) and (A15) as well as further analogues of (A2) and (A15) such as substitutions on the heterocyclic ring, oxazolidines, thiazolidines, benzimidazoles and the like can also be accomplished as disclosed in
1) Chem. Pharm. Bull. 41 (1) 117-125 (1993)
2) Chem. Pharm. Bull. 33 (10) 4409-4421 (1985)
3) J. Med. Chem. 18 (1), 90-99 (1975). ##STR60## used in the synthesis of intermediates (A3), can be synthesized from ##STR61## and (Me).sub.3 OBF.sub.4 in dichloromethane. ##STR62## used in the synthesis of intermediate (A4), can be synthesized from Y.sup.2 --CN and MeOH (1 equivalent) and HCl gas (1 equivalent) in heptane.
All other reagents in Scheme I are either commercially available or readily synthesized by methodologies known by those skilled in the art. ##STR63##
In Scheme II(A), phenylpropionic acid analogs D4 are readily prepared from 4-nitrophenyl alanine methyl esters B4 using the following procedure.
Nitrophenyl alanine B4 condenses with a variety of electrophiles such as R.sup.1 COCl, R.sup.1 OCOCl, R.sup.1 SO.sub.2 Cl, R.sup.1 N.dbd.C.dbd.O, R.sup.1 N.dbd.C.dbd.S, R.sup.1 SCOCl under standard conditions (NEt.sub.3, THF) known in the art. The resulting intermediate E4 is reduced by either catalytic hydrogenation (H.sub.2, Pd/C, MeOH), or tin II chloride (SnCl.sub.2, H.sub.2 O, HCl, EtOH 100.degree.) to afford the desired phenylpropionic acid analog D4.
In Scheme II(B) phenylpropionic acid analog D1 is readily prepared from aldehyde/or ketone B1 in the following manner.
Aldehyde or ketone B1 is condensed with (EtO).sub.2 P(O)CH.sub.2 COR under standard conditions (NaH/THF 0.degree. to room temperature). The resulting cinnamic acid derivative C1 is reduced (4% Pd/C, EtOH, 5 psi) to afford the desired phenylpropionic acid analogs D1.
When substituents Z.sup.4 and Z.sup.5 are sensitive to the catalytic hydrogenation conditions described above, the following synthetic procedure depicted in Scheme II(C) may be utilized.
Nitrophenylcinnamic acid derivative C1 is partially reduced with magnesium in MeOH to afford nitrophenylpropionic acid analog E1, further reduction of the nitro moiety (SnCl.sub.2 /H.sub.2 O/HCl/EtOH) affords the desired phenylpropionic acid derivative D1.
In Scheme II(D) phenylpropionic acid derivative D2 can be readily prepared from aldehyde B2 as described below.
Aldehyde B2 is condensed with N-benzoyl glycine (Ac.sub.2 O/100.degree.) and the resulting azalactone is hydrolysed (MeOH/K.sub.2 CO.sub.3) to afford the corresponding dehydroamino acid analog C2. Hydrogenation of C2 (Pd/C, H.sub.2, MeOH, 60 psi) followed by derivatisation with the electrophilic reagents W-Cl (as described in Scheme II(A) affords phenylpropionic acid derivative D2.
In Scheme II(E), phenylpropionic acid analog D3 may be prepared from bromide B3.
Bromide B3 is readily coupled to acrylate E2 using standard Heck coupling procedures such as (Pd(OAc).sub.2, P(Tol).sub.3, DMF, 130.degree.) to afford the corresponding dehydroamino acid derivative C3. Hydrogenation of C3 (Pd/C, H.sub.2, EtOH, 60 psi) affords the desired phenylpropionic acid analog B3.
Furthermore acrylates E2 are readily prepared from condensation of pyruvic acid derivatives with H.sub.2 N-W using standard dehydrating conditions such as (Tol, POCl.sub.3).
Coupling of the intermediates from Scheme I �(A1) through (A16)! with the intermediates (D1-D4) (from Scheme II) can be accomplished using other coupling reagents known to those in the art in addition to the mixed anhydride method described in Scheme III, to give the final desired products. ##STR64## In Scheme III--Method B
An alternative method to prepare compounds of the present invention is described below.
In this procedure, intermediates D1-D4 �from Scheme II (A-F)! are coupled to 3-nitrobenzoylchloride F1 (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, NEt.sub.3 0.degree.). The resulting coupled product F2 is reduced (SnCl.sub.2 /EtOH, H.sub.2 O, 100.degree.) to the corresponding aniline. The resulting aniline can be converted into compounds of the present invention using the reactions described in Scheme I (A1-A6) or reacted with protected cyclic or acyclic thioureos, followed by deprotection (TFA/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 /0.degree.).
This procedure is exemplified by converting the above aniline to its correspondence guanidine analog (BOCNHCSNHBOC, HgCl.sub.2 DMF) followed by deprotection (TFA, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2).
When R.sup.11 is not H, the appropriate nitrogen can be alkylated in an appropriate step by methodology known to those skilled in the art. Alternate acid derivatives R are synthesized by methodologies known to those skilled in the art.

Scheme IV outlines methodologies for preparing tyrosine derivatives of the present invention. Thus, Scheme IV, Step 1 outlines the formation of the nitrobenzyl ether tyrosine derivative by reaction of nitrobenzyl halide or sulfonate ester with a properly protected tyrosine derivative (e.g. BOC protected) using a base such as potassium carbonate and solvent such as acetone. The BOC protecting group can be removed using standard procedures (TFA, or HCl/EtOAc, or HCl/dioxane) to give the primary amine, 6A. The amine can be functionalized with various electrophiles (e.g. Scheme II(A)) giving the secondary amine, 6B. The nitro group may be reduced by, among other reagents, tin (II) chloride dihydrate in EtOAc (60.degree. C.) giving after work-up the aniline, 6C. The aniline may be functionalized to the guanidino group by reaction with amidino pyrazine, to give 6D-1, or otherwise functionalized in similar fashion to Scheme I, to give 6D-2 to 6D-4. Hydrolysis either under standard basic conditions (e.g. LiOH or NaOH/H.sub.2 O/dioxane or THF) or by using an appropriate enzyme (e.g. porcine liver esterase in pH 8 buffer) gives the carboxylic acid derivative. ##STR67##
Scheme V outlines methodologies for preparing further phenylpropionic acid derivatives. Palladium catalyzed Heck-type coupling of aryl halides 7A or 8A provided cinnamic acid derivatives 7B and 8B. Reduction (H.sub.2, cat. Pd/C) provided phenylpropionic acid derivatives 7C, which were elaborated as shown in Scheme III to furnish 7D-1. Using the analogous sulfonyl chloride in place of the acid chloride provided 7E-1. Alternately, benzaldehydes 9A could be condensed in an aldol-type reaction to give cinnamic acid derivatives 9B, which could be reduced and further elaborated as in Scheme III to give phenylpropionic acid derivatives 7D-2 and 7E-2.
Scheme VI outlines methodologies for preparing phenyoxyacetic acid and thiophenoxyacetic acid derivatives. 4-Nitrophenols or thiophenols 10A were deprotonated (NaH) and alkylated with .alpha.-haloacetic acid derivatives to give phenoxyacetic acid derivatives 10B. Reduction of the nitro group (SnCl.sub.2 or H.sub.2, Pd/C) provided aniline 10C. Alternately, 4-aminophenol or thiophenol 11A could be deprotonated (NaH) and alkylated with .alpha.-haloacetic acid derivatives to give phenoxyacetic acid derivatives 10C. Elaboration as shown in Scheme III gave phenoxyacetic acid derivatives 10D and 10E.

EXAMPLE 11
Synthesis of O -��3-�(aminoiminomethyl)amino!phenyl!methyl!-N-(butylsulfonyl)tyrosine, trifluoroacetate salt monohydrate ##STR82## Step A
N-t-Boc-tyrosine ethyl ester (6.0 g, 0.0194 mole) was dissolved in DMF (about 70 mL). To this solution was added, portionwise, potassium hydride (0.86 g, 0.021 mole, hexane washed mineral oil suspension). The reaction mixture was stirred until a solution formed. m-Nitrobenzyl bromide (4.54 g, 0.021 mole) was added and the reaction allowed to proceed over the weekend. Volatiles were removed to give a viscous oil that was taken up in EtOAc/dilute aqueous HCl. The aqueous layer was extracted a second time with EtOAc and the combined organic layers washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO.sub.3, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4), and volatiles removed to give a golden oil whose NMR and MS were consistent with the desired product.
Step B
The unpurified product from Step A was dissolved in methylene chloride (about 50 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL) was added. Stirring was commenced and continued until no further gas evolution was noted (about 0.5 hour). Volatiles were removed until a dark oil was obtained. The oil was treated with EtOAc and dilute aqueous HCl and separated. The organic layer was washed several times with dilute aqueous HCl and the acid layers were combined. The aqueous layer was made basic by addition of solid NaHCO.sub.3 and extracted (3.times.) with EtOAc. The pH was adjusted to about 10 by addition of 2.5 N NaOH and the aqueous layer washed with EtOAc (2.times.). The combined organic layers from all base washes were combined, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4), HCl gas bubbled through (until the solution was saturated) and stripped to give a tan solid (2.16 g) whose NMR and MS were consistent with the desired amino ester hydrochloride salt.
Step C
To the product obtained in Step B (2.16 g, 0.0062 mole), dissolved in THF (100 mL) was added triethylamine (1.38 g, 1.92 mL, 0.00136 mole) and the reaction mixture cooled to 0-5.degree. C. (ice-water/salt bath). N-butanesulfonyl chloride (1.07 g, 0.0068 mole) was added in dropwise fashion. After three hours the volatiles were removed to obtain a dark oil that was worked up in similar fashion to Step A to obtain a product (2.14 g) whose NMR and MS were consistent with the desired sulfonamide ester.
Step D
The product from Step C (2.14 g, 0.0046 mole) was dissolved in absolute EtOH (70 mL) and reduced to the aniline using the procedure of F.D. Bellamy and K. Ou--�Tett. Let., 25, 839-842 (1984)!. Tin (II) chloride dihydrate (5.2 g, 0.023 mole) was added and the mixture heated for one hour at 60.degree. C. The volatiles were removed to obtain a brown foam and EtOAc (100 mL) was added along with saturated aqueous NaHCO.sub.3 (200 mL) to produce a fine precipitate. The solution was clarified by passing through a celite pad. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer extracted with EtOAc (2.times.).
The organic layers were combined, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and stripped to give a dark oil (1.75 g) that consisted mostly of desired aniline as confirmed by NMR and mass spectra.
Step E
The crude aniline obtained in Step D was converted to the guanidino--acid in the following manner. Aniline (1.7 g, 0.0042 mole) from Step D was dissolved in dioxane (40 mL). To this was added triethylamine (0.47 mL, 0.0047 mole), pyrazole carboxamidine (Aldrich, 0.68 g, 0.0047 mole) and water (5 mL) and the reaction mixture heated to reflux. Partial conversion to product was noted after refluxing overnight. More carboxamidine was added (0.4 g) and refluxing continued. After several hours the reaction mixture was cooled and the pH adjusted to 11 by addition of dilute aqueous LiOH. The reaction was maintained at pH 11 for several hours until most of the ester had hydrolyzed. The reaction mixture was made acidic by addition of TFA and the desired guanidino acid isolated by preparatory rphplc. The appropriate fractions were combined and lyophilized to obtain a hydroscopic powder (0.25 g) that was determined to be the desired compound by NMR and MS.

Human vitronectin was purified from fresh frozen plasma as previously described �Yatohgo et al., Cell Structure and Function, 13:281-292 (1988)!. Biotinylated human vitronectin was prepared by coupling NHS-biotin from Pierce Chemical Company (Rockford, Ill.) to purified vitronectin as previously described �Charo et al., J. Biol. Chem., 266(3):1415-1421 (1991)!. Assay buffer, OPD substrate tablets, and RIA grade BSA were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo.). Anti-biotin antibody was obtained from Calbiochem (La Jolla, Calif.). Linbro microtiter plates were obtained from Flow Labs (McLean, Va.). ADP reagent was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo.).
METHODS
Solid Phase Receptor Assays
This assay was essentially the same as previously reported �Niiya et al., Blood, 70:475-483 (1987)!. The purified human vitronectin receptor (.alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3) was diluted from stock solutions to 1.0 .mu.g/mL in Tris-buffered saline containing 1.0 mM Ca.sup.++, Mg.sup.++, and Mn.sup.++, pH 7.4 (TBS.sup.+++). The diluted receptor was immediately transferred to Linbro microtiter plates at 100 .mu.L/well (100 ng receptor/well). The plates were sealed and incubated overnight at 4.degree. C. to allow the receptor to bind to the wells. All remaining steps were at room temperature. The assay plates were emptied and 200 .mu.L of 1% RIA grade BSA in TBS.sup.+++ (TBS.sup.+++ /BSA) were added to block exposed plastic surfaces. Following a 2 hour incubation, the assay plates were washed with TBS.sup.+++ using a 96 well plate washer. Logarithmic serial dilution of the test compound and controls were made starting at a stock concentration of 2 mM and using 2 nM biotinylated vitronectin in TBS.sup.+++ /BSA as the diluent. This premixing of labeled ligand with test (or control) ligand, and subsequent transfer of 50 .mu.L aliquots to the assay plate was carried out with a CETUS Propette robot; the final concentration of the labeled ligand was 1 nM and the highest concentration of test compound was 1.0.times.10.sup.-4 M. The competition occurred for two hours after which all wells were washed with a plate washer as before. Affinity purified horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-biotin antibody was diluted 1:3000 in TBS.sup.+++ /BSA and 125 .mu.L were added to each well. After 30 minutes, the plates were washed and incubated with OPD/H.sub.2 O.sub.2 substrate in 100 mM/L Citrate buffer, pH 5.0. The plate was read with a microtiter plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm and when the maximum-binding control wells reached an absorbance of about 1.0, the final A.sub.450 were recorded for analysis. The data were analyzed using a macro written for use with the EXCEL.TM. spreadsheet program. The mean, standard deviation, and % CV were determined for duplicate concentrations. The mean A.sub.450 values were normalized to the mean of four maximum-binding controls (no competitor added)(B-MAX). The normalized values were subjected to a four parameter curve fit algorithm �Rodbard et al., Int. Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, pp 469 (1977)!, plotted on a semi-log scale, and the computed concentration corresponding to inhibition of 50% of the maximum binding of biotinylated vitronectin (IC.sub.50) and corresponding R.sup.2 was reported for those compounds exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at the highest concentration tested; otherwise the IC.sub.50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested. .beta.-��2-��5-�(aminoiminomethyl)amino!-1-oxopentyl!amino!-1-oxoethyl!amino!-3-pyridinepropanoic acid �U.S. Ser.

F., Nannizzi, L., Phillips, D. R., Hsu, M. A., Scarborough, R. M., "Inhibition of fibrinogen binding to GP IIb/IIIa by a GP IIIa peptide", J. Biol. Chem. 266(3)(1991): 1415-1421.) Assay buffer, OPD substrate tablets, and RIA grade BSA were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo.). Anti-biotin antibody was obtained from Calbiochem (La Jolla, Calif.). Linbro microtiter plates were obtained from Flow Labs (McLean, Va.). ADP reagent was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo.).
METHODS
Solid Phase Receptor Assays
This assay is essentially the same reported in Niiya, K., Hodson, E., Bader, R., Byers-Ward, V. Koziol, J. A., Plow, E. F. and Ruggeri, Z. M., "Increased surface expression of the membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex induced by platelet activation: Relationships to the binding of fibrinogen and platelet aggregation", Blood 70(1987):475-483. The purified human fibrinogen receptor (.alpha..sub.IIb .beta..sub.3) was diluted from stock solutions to 1.0 .mu.g/mL in Tris-buffered saline containing 1.0 mM Ca.sup.++, Mg.sup.++, and Mn.sup.++, pH 7.4 (TBS.sup.+++). The diluted receptor was immediately transferred to Linbro microtiter plates at 100 .mu.L/well (100 ng receptor/well). The plates were sealed and incubated overnight at 4.degree. C. to allow the receptor to bind to the wells. All remaining steps were at room temperature. The assay plates were emptied and 200 .mu.L of 1% RIA grade BSA in TBS.sup.+++ (TBS.sup.+++ /BSA) were added to block exposed plastic surfaces. Following a 2 hour incubation, the assay plates were washed with TBS.sup.+++ using a 96 well plate washer. Logarithmic serial dilution of the test compound and controls were made starting at a stock concentration of 2 mM and using 2 nM biotinylated vitronectin in TBS.sup.+++ /BSA as the diluent. This premixing of labeled ligand with test (or control) ligand, and subsequent transfer of 50 .mu.L aliquots to the assay plate was carried out with a CETUS Propette robot; the final concentration of the labeled ligand was 1 nM and the highest concentration of test compound was 1.0.times.10.sup.-4 M. The competition occurred for two hours after which all wells were washed with a plate washer as before. Affinity purified horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-biotin antibody was diluted 1:3000 in TBS.sup.+++ /BSA and 125 .mu.L were added to each well. After 30 minutes, the plates were washed and incubated with ODD/H.sub.2 O.sub.2 substrate in 100 mM/L citrate buffer, pH 5.0. The plate was read with a microtiter plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm and when the maximum-binding control wells reached an absorbance of about 1.0, the final A.sub.450 were recorded for analysis. The data were analyzed using a macro written for use with the EXCEL.TM. spreadsheet program. The mean, standard deviation, and % CV were determined for duplicate concentrations. The mean A.sub.450 values were normalized to the mean of four maximum-binding controls (no competitor added)(B-MAX). The normalized values were subjected to a four parameter curve fit algorithm, �Robard et al., Int. Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, pp 469 (1977)!, plotted on a semi-log scale, and the computed concentration corresponding to inhibition of 50% of the maximum binding of biotinylated vitronectin (IC.sub.50) and corresponding R.sup.2 was reported for those compounds exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at the highest concentration tested; otherwise the IC.sub.50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested. .beta.-��2-��5-�(aminoiminomethyl)amino!-1-oxopentyl!amino!-1-oxoethyl!amino!-3-pyridinepropanoic acid �U.S. Ser. No. 08/375,338, Example 1! which is a potent .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 antagonist (IC.sub.50 in the range 3-10 nM) was included on each plate as a positive control.
