Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This appliation is a 371 of PCT/US92/10526 filed Dec. 11, 1992.
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 amidines 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.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of Formula I may be prepared by standard synthetic methods combined with methods analogous to solution phase peptide synthesis [see: The Peptides: Analysis, Synthesis, Biology (E. Gross and J. Meienhofer, eds.), Vol. 1-5, Academic Press, New York)].
General synthetic sequences are outlined in the following Schemes.
In Scheme 1 is described a general synthesis of the 5-(cyanophenyl)-pentanoic, -pentenoic and -pentynoic derivatives, substituted or not. A halobenzonitrile is coupled to an omega alkenoic or alkynoic acid using a palladium based coupling reaction ["Heck Reaction" -Palladium Reagents in Organic Syntheses (Richard F. Heck), Academic Press, New York, 1985; Heck, R. F. J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1979, 12, 146-51. Tuyet, J. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1984, 1287-9]. The preferred conditions for the palladium coupling reaction generally differ for the alkynoic acid and the alkenoic acid coupling components. The preferred conditions for the alkynoic acid coupling component utilizes tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium as catalyst and piperidine as the solvent (for related conditions see: H. A. Dieck and F. R. Heck J. Organometallic Chem. 259-263 (1975)). Suitable conditions for the alkenoic acid coupling component utilize the phase transfer conditions of Jeffery and Larock [T. Jeffery J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1287-89 (1984); R. C. Larock Tetrahedron Lett. 2603-2606 (1989)]. These extremely mild conditions (phase transfer agent-tetrabutylammonium salt, catalyst palladium (II) acetate, base-potassium acetate or triethylamine, dimethyl formamide) afford a good yield of coupled olefin. Compounds of Formula I where Y is a saturated chain (alkane) are obtained through a selective reduction of the double bond (Y is CH.dbd.CH) by catalytic reduction over palladium on calcium carbonate. The required omega alkenoic acids are commercially available or can be synthesized by oxidation of the omega alkenols [E. J. Corey and G. Schmidt Tetrahedron Lett. 399 (1979)]. The required omega alkynoic acids are commercially available or can be synthesized from omega haloalkanoic acids and lithium acetylide [W. J. DeJarlais, E. A. Emken Synth. Commun. 653 (1980); J. Cossy, J. P. Pete Tetrahedron Lett. 573 (1986)].
In Scheme 2 is described an alternative method for the preparation of the (cyanophenyl)alkenoic acid unit using a standard Wittig Reaction [B. E. Maryanoff, A. Reitz Chem Rev. 863-927 (1989)] with cyanobenzaldehyde and an omega substituted (carboxyalkyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide as the two reaction components [for related conditions see: J. Am. Chem. Soc,, 397 (1970); Ibid 6831 and 7185 (1973)].
In Scheme 3 are included examples of procedures to access compounds of Formula I where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are different from hydrogen. The substituents R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, (where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently halo, alkyl, hydroxy, or alkoxy) can be present in the starting commercially available bromobenzonitrile (Scheme 1) cyanobenzaldehyde (Scheme 2) or introduced at a latter stage as indicated in Scheme 3. The ring can be halogenated using bromine, iodine, or chlorine (Scheme 3). Introduction of fluorine on the ring is best performed at the expense of the corresponding amino derivative, using diazotization followed by dediazonation in the presence of fluoride-containing counterion (D. E. Rosenberg and al., Tet. Let., 21, 4141-4, 1980; Scheme 3a). Other modifications of this method can also be useful (Rosenfeld and Widdowson, JCS Chem. Comm. 914, 1979). An alkyl group can be introduced by low temperature lithium halogen exchange followed by quenching with the appropriate aldehyde [see: W. E. Parham, C. K. Bradsher Acct. Chem. Res. 300 (1982]. The resultant alcohol can be converted to an alkyl by hydrogenolysis [Reductions in Organic Chemistry (M. Hudlicky, ed.), John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1984] as shown in Scheme 3. The substituents, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently hydroxy or alkoxy, can be introduced by low temperature lithium halogen exchange followed by quenching with the electrophilic bis(trimethylsilyl) peroxide [(TMSO).sub.2 - Scheme 3) M. Taddei and A. Ricci Synthesis 633-635 (1986)] which affords the silyl ether. The silyl ether can be converted to OH by treatment with hydrochloric acid [M. Taddei and A. Ricci ibid]. The alkoxy group (OR wherein R is alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms) can be introduced by treating the derivative OH with weak base (K.sub.2 CO.sub.3) and an appropriate alkyl halide [2 equivalents, see: C. F. H. Allen and J. W. Gates, Jr. Organic Syntheses Coll. Vol 3 140 (1955)] which will, in addition, form the ester. The ester can be selectively cleaved in the presence of the ether with one equivalent of sodium hydroxide (Scheme 3). The derivative where Y is carbonyl can be introduced at the benzonitrile stage using the synthetic Scheme 4a. Scheme 4b describe the conversion of the cyano group into the amidine group via the thioimidate. The thioimidate is formed by first treating the cyano compound with hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2 S) followed by alkylation with methyl iodide. Next, treatment of the thioimidate with ammonium acetate affords the amidine as the salt (HI). Alternatively (Scheme 4c) the nitrile can be converted to the amidine by the use of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in an inert solvent such as diethyl ether (R. T. Boere et al, J. Organomet. Chem., 331, 161-67, 1987).
Scheme 5 describes the synthesis of the lactone (3-(S)-amino-5-oxo-furane) from the corresponding protected (L)-aspartic acid (N-tBoc-aspartic acid, .beta.-benzyl ester). First, the protected amino acid was converted to the intermediate optically active alcohol using the borane-THF reagent (C. Stanfield etal., J. Org. Chem. 4797-98, 46, 1981). The alcohol ester is then lactonized using acid (camphorsulphonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid) or basic (triethylamine) catalysis in an inert solvent such as, for example, dichloromethane. The free lactone was then obtained as its hydrochloride salt from the action of dry hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as THF or dioxane. The enantiomeric lactone can be obtained by using the same procedure in the D-amino acid series. Ring substituted lactones can be obtained by, first, converting the intermediate protected alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde using an oxidation reaction such as, the Swern reaction or pyridinium chlorochromate in an aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane or pyridine. Nucleophilic addition of a anion to the aldehyde produces the substituted alcohol which is then cyclized and deprotected as before. Substituted lactones can also be obtained by cyclization of an appropriate olefinic acid including iodolactonazation (Ansell and Palmer, O. Rev. Chem. Soc., 18, 211-25, 1964).
In Scheme 6, is outlined the synthesis of bicyclic lactones. The addition of lithium amide reagents to the coumarin nucleus affords through a Michael addition the protected 4-amino-3,4-dihydro-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyrane. Examples of lithium amide reagents that can be used in that reaction are lithium hexamethyldisilazane or lithium benzylamide. When the benzylamine used is homochiral, an entry to chiral bicyclic lactones is obtained (S. G. Davies and O. Ichihara, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry. 2, 183-86, 1991). The free 4-amino-3,4-dihydro-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyrane is obtained by a suitable deprotection procedure, e.g., aqueous acid for the silyl groups and hydrogenolysis in the presence of Pd(OH).sub.2 for the benzyl group or another method as described by T. H. Greene in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", Wiley-Interscience, 1980.
Compounds of Formula I can be obtained by coupling of one of the amino lactone derivatives obtained in Schemes 5 or 6 with the acid obtained as described in Schemes 1-4. Scheme 7 illustrates the coupling using an activated form of the acid. These activated forms include anhydrides, internal anhydride, acid chloride or one of the various activated forms as described in Principles of Peptide Synthesis, Bodansky, 1984, Springer-Verlag. Preferentially, the amide bonds are formed using standard coupling reagents, e.g. dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), carbonyldiimidazole, disuccinimidyl carbonate (DSC), benzotriazole-1-yl-oxy-tris-(dimethylamino)-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) or isobutyl chloroformate (mixed anhydride method).
Scheme 8 describes an alternative synthetic route in which a protected .omega.-hydroxy-3-aminoacid ester, precursor to the lactone, is coupled to the 5-(benzamidine)pentanoic acid using one of the method listed for Scheme 7. Protection of the hydroxy group is advantageously selected from tetrahydropyranyl (THP) or tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group introduced as described by T. H. Greene in "Protective Groups in Organic synthesis", Wiley-Interscience, 1980. The product resulting from this coupling is then deprotected and the lactone ring is obtained by cyclization of the hydroxy acid in acidic anhydrous conditions similar to those described in Schemes 5 and 6.
Alternatively (Scheme 9), a 5-(cyanophenyl)pentanoic acid can be used for condensation with a suitable precursor of the lactone ring, e.g., a protected hydroxy acid moiety (the most desirable ester is the t-butyl ester which can be deprotected to the acid by contact with a strong acidic medium as HBr/AcOH or trifluroacetic acid/dichloromethane). In that case, the resulting nitrile can be converted to the amidine using one of the methods outlined in Schemes 4b or 4c. The compounds of Formula I are obtained by lactonization of the intermediates (Scheme 8) using the procedures described in Scheme 4 and 5.
Purification of final compounds is usually by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography [High Performance Liquid ChromatoaraDhv Protein and Peptide Chemistry, F. Lottspeich, A. Henscher, K. P. Hupe, eds.)

This invention also relates to a method of inhibiting platelet aggregation and more specifically, a method of treatment involving the administration of compounds of Formula I to achieve such inhibition.
For the inhibition of platelet aggregation, compounds of Formula I may be administered orally, parenterally, or by inhalation spray or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic 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 may be administered by any suitable route, preferably 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 of the present invention required to prevent or arrest the progress of the medical condition are readily ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art.
Accordingly, the invention provides a class of novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more compounds of the present invention 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 dosage regimen for treating a condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention is based on a variety of factors, including the type, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition; the route of administration; and the particular compound employed. Thus dosage regimen may vary widely. Dosage levels of the order from about 0.01 mg to about 150 mg per kilogram of body weight per day are useful in the treatment of the above-indicated conditions (from about 10 mg to about 150 mg per patient per day). For oral administration a daily dose of from about 0.01 to 150 mg/Kg body weight, particularly from about 1 to 30 mg/Kg body weight may be appropriate. For administration by injection a preferred daily dose would be from about 0.01 to 50 mg/Kg body weight.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets or capsules. These may contain, for example, an amount of active ingredient from about 1 to 250 mg, preferably from about 25 to 150 mg. A suitable daily dose for a mammal may vary widely depending on the condition of the patient and other factors.
The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition wherein, for example, saline, dextrose or water may be used as a suitable carrier. A suitable daily dose would typically be about 0.01 to 50 mg/kg body weight injected per day in multiple doses depending on the condition being treated.
For administration, the compounds of this invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to the indicated route of administration. The compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulphuric acids, gelatin, acacia, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and tableted or encapsulated for convenient administration. Alternatively, the compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be made up in a solid form such as granules, powders or suppositories or in a liquid form such as solutions, suspensions or emulsions. The pharmaceutical compositions may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain conventional pharmaceutical adjuvants such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers, etc.
The following Examples are intended to further illustrate the present invention and not to limit the invention in spirit or scope. In the Examples, all parts are parts by weight and temperature is in degrees Celsius unless otherwise expressly set forth.
