Abstract
This invention relates to compounds having the following formula ##STR1## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt which are useful in the inhibition of platelet aggregation. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions--of such phenyl amidines derivatives.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention is in the field of mammalian therapeutics and relates to compounds for the treatment of mammalian disorders such as cardiovascular disorders. Of particular interest is a class of phenyl amidine derivatives useful as inhibitors of platelet aggregation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Fibrinogen is a glycoprotein present as a normal component of blood plasma. It participates in platelet aggregation and fibrin formation in the blood clotting mechanism.
Platelets are cellular elements found in whole blood which also participate in blood coagulation. Fibrinogen binding to platelets is important to normal platelet function in the blood coagulation mechanism. When a blood vessel receives an injury, the platelets binding to fibrinogen will initiate aggregation and form a thrombus. Interaction of fibrinogen with platelets occurs through a membrane glycoprotein complex, known as gp IIb/IIIa; this is an important feature of the platelet function. Inhibitors of this interaction are useful in modulating platelet thrombus formation.
It is also known that another large glycoprotein named fibronectin, which is a major extracellular matrix protein, interacts with fibrinogen and fibrin, and with other structural molecules such as actin, collagen and proteoglycans. Various relatively large polypeptide fragments in the cell-binding domain of fibronectin have been found to have cell-attachment activity. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,517,686; 4,589,881; and 4,661,111. Certain relatively short peptide fragments from the same molecule were found to promote cell attachment to a substrate when immobilized on the substrate or to inhibit attachment when in a solubilized or suspended form. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,578,079 and 4,614,517.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,291, inhibition of platelet function is disclosed with synthetic peptides designed to be high affinity antagonists of fibrinogen binding to platelets. U.S. Pat. No. 4,857,508 discloses tetrapeptides having utility as inhibitors of platelet aggregation.
Other synthetic peptides and their use as inhibitors of fibrinogen binding to platelets are disclosed by Koczewiak et al., Biochem. 23, 1767-1774 (1984); Plow et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 82, 8057-8061 (1985); Ruggeri et al., Ibid. 83, 5708-5712 (1986); Ginsberg et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260 (7), 3931-3936 (1985); Hayerstick et al., Blood 66 (4), 946-952 (1985); and Ruoslahti and Pierschbacher, Science 238, 497-497 (1987). Still other such inhibitory peptides are disclosed in EP Patent Applications 275,748 and 298,820.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of formula III were prepared in a conventional manner using standard synthetic methods. A general synthetic sequence is outlined in Schemes A and B. The key lefthand portion (formula II) was synthesized by two different routes. Method 1 was employed when Y was a carbon fragment and A was either a carboxylic acid or alcohol. Method 2 was used when Y designates a carboxamide moiety. Thus the halobenzonitrile was coupled to an omega alkynoic acid or an omega alkynoyl alcohol via the Heck reaction employing Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(O) [for related conditions see: H. A. Deck and F. R. Heck J. Organometallic Chem. 259-263 (1975)]. Compounds where Y=CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 were prepared by a selective hydrogenation using palladium on calcium carbonate. When A was a carboxylic acid group, a modified Curtius reaction [Washburne, S.; Peterson, W. R., Synthetic Comm. 2, 227-230 (1972)] converted the carboxylic acid to the corresponding amino compound of formula II. Alternatively, when R.sub.3 was an alcohol moiety, the following three step sequence was applied. Mesylation of the alcohol with methanesulfonyl chloride/triethylamine follow by displacement of the mesylate with sodium azide lead to the corresponding azido compound. Reduction of the azide group with triphenylphosphine [Knouzi, N; Vaultier, M.; Carrie, R.; Bull. Soc. Chim. France, 815-819 (1985)] provided the desired amino compound of formula II. Finally, when Y=NHCO, the appropriate aminobenzonitrile was coupled with N-Boc-.beta.-alanine using the mixed anhydride method (method 2). Removal of the Boc group with HCl/dioxane again yielded the desired compound of formula II.
Scheme B outlines the general methods used to complete the synthesis of compounds of formula III. The amino compound of formula II was coupled with the appropriate carboxylic acid using standard peptide coupling reagents (e.g. isobutyl chloroformate (IBCF), oxalyl chloride or disuccinimidyl carbonate (DSC)). Generally the carboxylic acid compound is a suitably protected chiral aspartic or glutamic acid. Post coupling modifications to R.sub.3 when R.sub.3 =NHCBZ could be carried out at this point. Thus, selective hydrogenolysis (H.sub.2 /Pd/CaCO.sub.3) of this material followed by treatment with a suitable acid chloride lead to a series of amide and sulfonamide analogues as described by formula III. The carboxyl protecting group (R.sub.4 =tBu) was removed under acidic conditions (trifluoroacetic acid), however this procedure could be reserved until the last step of the synthesis. The cyano group was converted to the amidine in three steps: 1) H.sub.2 S treatment generated the thioamide, 2) alkylation with methyl iodide lead to the thioimidate and finally 3) treatment of the thioimidate with ammonium acetate yielded the amidine which was generally isolated by precipitation of the zwitterion. Alternatively, purification of the crude product using reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography provided the desired final product as the trifluoroacetate salt.
The hydroxy acids of formula III (R.sub.3 =OH) were synthesized (Scheme C, Method 1) by amide formation between the amine (formula II) and the gamma lactone, 5-oxo-2-tetrahydrofurancarboxylic acid, via acid chloride formation with oxalyl chloride. Hydrolysis of the lactone provided a stable hydroxy acid. Conversion of this intermediate to the final product was carried out according to Scheme B. The isomeric hydroxy acid (R.sub.3 =CH.sub.2 OH) was synthesized (Scheme C, Method 2) by coupling the amine (formula II) with tetahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid, followed by a Ruthenium(VIII) oxidation [Carlsen, P. H. J.; Katsuki, T.; Martin, V.; Sharpless, K. B., J. Org. Chem., 46, 3936-8, (1981)] to yield the lactone. Conversion of the nitrile to the amidine (scheme B) and subsequent base hydrolysis provided the desired product. A pyrrolylsuccinic acid analogue (Scheme C, Method 3) was synthesized by treating aspartic acid-.beta.-benzyl ester with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran. The resulting carboxylic acid was elaborated to the final product according to Scheme B. In addition, various succinic acid analogues may be synthesized by treating a suitably substituted acetic acid methyl ester with LDA followed by alkylation with t-butyl bromoacetate (Scheme C, Method 4). Selective base hydrolysis would provide a monoprotected succinate. ##STR14##

The platelet-binding inhibitor activity of the compounds of the present invention can be demonstrated by the assays presented below.
In-Vitro Platelet Aggregation in PRP
Healthy male or female dogs were fasted for 8 hours prior to drawing blood; then 30 ml whole blood was collected using a butterfly needle and 30 cc plastic syringe with 3 ml of 0.129M buffered sodium citrate (3.8%). The syringe was rotated carefully as blood was drawn to mix the citrate. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was prepared by centrifugation at 975.times. g for 3.17 minutes at room temperature, allowing the centrifuge to coast to a stop without braking. The PRP was removed from the blood with a plastic pipette and placed in a plastic capped, 50 ml Corning conical sterile centrifuge tube which was held at room temperature. Platelet poor plasma (PPP) was prepared by centrifuging the remaining blood at 2000.times. g for 15 minutes at room temperature allowing the centrifuge to coast to a stop without braking. The PRP was adjusted with PPP to a count of 2-3.times.10.sup.8 platelets per ml. 400 .mu.l of the PRP preparation and 50 .mu.l of the compound to be tested or saline were preincubated for 1 minute at 37.degree. C. in a BioData aggregometer (BioData, Horsham, Pa.). 50 .mu.l of adenosine 5'diphosphate (ADP) (50 .mu.m final concentration) was added to the cuvettes and the aggregation was monitored for 1 minute. All compounds are tested in duplicate. Results are calculated as follows:
Percent of control=[(maximal OD minus initial OD of compound) divided by (maximal OD minus initial OD of control saline)].times.100. The % inhibition=100-(percent of control).
The compounds tested and their median inhibitory concentrations (IC.sub.50) are recorded in Table I. IC.sub.50 's (if a compound showed 50% inhibition) were calculated by linear regression of the dose response curve.
The assay results for the compounds of the present invention are set forth in Table A, below.
INHIBITION OF EX VIVO COLLAGEN INDUCED AGGREGATION BY COMPOUNDS OF THE INVENTION
PURPOSE--The purpose of this assay is to determine the effects of antiplatelet compounds on ex vivo collagen induced platelet aggregation when administered either intravenously or orally to dogs.
Pretreatment (control) blood samples are drawn from either conscious or anesthetized dogs (Beagles) and centrifuged to prepare platelet rich plasma (PRP). Aggregatory response to collagen is measured in an aggregometer and used as control. Compounds are administered, either intragasterically (either by capsule or stomach tube or intravenously. Blood samples are drawn at predetermined intervals after compound administration, PRP prepared and aggregation to collagen determined. Compound inhibition of aggregation is determined by comparing the aggregation response after compound administration to the pretreatment response. The study is continued for a maximum of 24 hours or until the platelet aggregation returns to control levels. (If aggregation is still inhibited after 7 hours, a blood sample is drawn the following morning and tested.) Duration of activity is determined by the length of time platelet aggregation is inhibited after compound administration. The assay results for representative compounds of the present invention in the aforementioned Assay are set forth in Table A.
In Table A, two readings given in a single box indicate that two trials, rather than a single trial, were run for that particular compound in that particular assay.
