Description

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to novel compounds of formula I:
Y--(C.sub.m H.sub.2m --CHR.sup.1).sub.n --CO--(NH--CHR.sup.2 --CO).sub.r --ZI
wherein ##STR2## R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.7 are each --C.sub.t H.sub.2t --R.sup.9, benzyl, hydroxybenzyl, imidazolylmethyl or indolylmethyl,
R.sup.3 is H or H.sub.2 N--C(.dbd.NH)--,
R.sup.4 and R.sup.6 are each (H,H) or .dbd.O,
R.sup.5 is H, H.sub.2 N--C (.dbd.NH)-- or H.sub.2 N--C(.dbd.NH)--NH--,
R.sup.8 is OH, OA or NHOH,
R.sup.9 is H, OH, NH.sub.2, SH, SA, COOH, CONH.sub.2 or NH--C(.dbd.NH)--NH.sub.2,
A is in each case alkyl having 1-4 C atoms,
m and t are each 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4,
n and r are each 0 or 1 and
p is 0, 1 or 2,
and wherein the piperazine rings can be substituted by 1 to 4 groups A,
and their salts.
Similar compounds are known from EP-A1-0 381 033 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,084,466.
An object of the invention is to provide novel compounds with valuable properties, especially those which can be used for the preparation of drugs.
Upon further study of the specification and appended claims, further objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
These objects have been achieved by the compounds according to the invention. It has been found that the compounds of formula I and their solvates and salts possess valuable pharmacological properties coupled with a good tolerance. In particular, they inhibit the binding of fibrinogen, fibronectin and the von Willebrand factor to the fibrinogen receptor of blood platelets (glycoprotein IIb/IIa) as well as the binding of the latter and of other adhesive proteins, such as vitronectin, collagen and laminin, to the corresponding receptors on the surface of various cell types. The compounds thus influence cell--cell and cell-matrix interactions. In particular, they prevent the formation of blood platelet thrombi and can therefore be used for the treatment of thrombosis, apoplexy, cardiac infarctus, inflammation and arteriosclerosis. The compounds also have an effect on tumor cells by inhibiting them from forming metastases. Thus they can also be used as anti-tumoral agents.
There is evidence that tumor cells spreading from a solid tumor into the vasculature are carried by microthrombi and thus are protected from being detected by cells of the immune system. The second step of attachment to the vessel wall seems to be facilitated by microthrombi as well. Since the formation of thrombi is mediated by fibrinogen binding to the fibrinogen receptor glycoprotein IIb/IIIa on activated platelets, fibrinogen binding inhibitors can be expected to be effective as antimetastatics. This is applicable to all tumors.
Also, since fibrinogen binding inhibitors are ligands for the fibrinogen receptor on platelets, they can be used as diagnostic tools for detection and localization of thrombi in the vasculature in vivo.
Thus, for example, in accordance with known procedures, the fibrinogen binding inhibitors can be labelled with a signal generating or detectable moiety whereby, once the labelled fibrinogen binding inhibitor is bound to a fibrinogen receptor on platelets, it is possible to detect and locate thrombi.
Fibrinogen binding inhibitors are also very effective as research tools for studying the metabolism of platelets and the different activation states or intracellular signalling mechanisms of the fibrinogen receptor.
For example, as described above, the fibrinogen binding inhibitor can be labelled with a signal generating or detectable moiety. The fibrinogen binding inhibitor-signal generating/detectable moiety conjugate can then be employed in vitro as a research tool. By binding the conjugate to fibrinogen receptors, it is possible to monitor and study the metabolism of platelets, as well as the activation states and signalling mechanisms of the fibrinogen receptors.
The properties of the compounds can be demonstrated by methods described in EP-A1-0 462 960. The inhibition of the binding of fibrinogen to the fibrinogen receptor can be demonstrated by the method indicated in EP-A1-0 381 033 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,084,466. The thrombocyte aggregation inhibiting action can be demonstrated in vitro by the method of Born (Nature 4832, 927-929, 1962).
The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of a compound of formula I given above, and its salts, characterized in that

Some of the compounds of formula I possess chiral centers and can therefore occur in several enantiomeric forms. All these forms (for example D and L forms) and mixtures thereof (for example the DL forms) are included in formula I.
Above and below, the radicals or parameters Y, Z, R.sup.1 to R.sup.9, A, G.sup.1, G.sup.2, m, n, p, r and t are defined as indicated for formulae I, II or III, unless expressly indicated otherwise.
The groups A are in each case alkyl groups having 1-4, preferably 1 or 2 C atoms, especially methyl or ethyl, or else propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl or tert-butyl. If several groups A are present in the compound of formula I, they can be identical to or different from one another.

The groups --NH--CHR.sup.2 --CO-- and --NH--C.sub.p H.sub.2p --CHR.sup.7 --CO-- can be in particular the radicals of naturally occurring amino acids, preferably --NH--CH.sub.2 --CO-- (glycine radical), or else the radicals of L- or D-alanine, L- or D-valine, L- or D-leucine, L- or D-isoleucine, L- or D-phenylalanine, L- or D-tyrosine, L- or D-histidine, L- or D-tryptophan, L- or D-serine, L- or D-threonine, L- or D-ornithine, L- or D-lysine, L- or D-cysteine, L- or D-methionine, L- or D-aspartic acid, L- or D-asparagine and L- or D-arginine. The group --NH--C.sub.p H.sub.2p --CHR.sup.7 --CO-- is preferably also --NH--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --CO-- (.beta.-alanine radical) or --NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --CO-- (4-aminobutyric acid radical).
R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.7 and R.sup.9 are each preferably H. R.sup.3 is preferably H.sub.2 N--C(.dbd.NH)-- (amidino). R.sup.4 and R.sup.6 are each preferably (H,H). R.sup.5 is preferably H.sub.2 N--C(.dbd.NH)--NH-- (guanidino). R.sup.8 is preferably OH, or else preferably OA, especially OCH.sub.3 or OC.sub.2 H.sub.5.

The piperazine rings can additionally be substituted by 1-4 groups A, preferably by 1-4 methyl groups. Preferred substituted piperazine rings are 2-methylpiperazine-1,4-diyl, 2,5-dimethylpiperazine-1,4-diyl, 2,6-dimethylpiperazine-1,4-diyl and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpiperazine-1,4-diyl.
Preferred compounds of formula I are those in which at least one of the indicated radicals, groups and/or parameters has one of the preferred meanings given. Some groups of preferred compounds are those of formulae Ia to Ig, which correspond to formula I and wherein the unspecified radicals and/or parameters are defined as indicated for formula I, but wherein ##STR4##
Other preferred compounds are those of formulae Ih and Iah to Igh, which correspond to formulae I and Ia to Ig, but wherein the group --(C.sub.m H.sub.2m --CHR.sup.1).sub.n --CO--(NH--CHR.sup.2 --CO).sub.r -- is additionally --CO--, --CH.sub.2 --CO--, --CO--NH--CH.sub.2 --CO-- or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CO--.
Other preferred compounds are those of formulae Ii, Iai to Ihi and Iahi to Ighi, which correspond to formulae I, Ia to Ih and Iah to Igh, but wherein the group --C.sub.p H.sub.2p --CHR.sup.7 --CO--R.sup.8 is additionally --CH.sub.2 COOH, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOH, --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --COOR, --CH(COOH)--CH.sub.2 COOH, --CH.sub.2 COOA, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOA, --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --COOA or --CH(COOA)--CH.sub.2 COOA.
The compounds of formula I and also the starting materials for their preparation are prepared by methods known per se, such as those described in the literature (for example in the standard works like Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart; also EP-A1-0381033 and EP-A1-0462960), under reaction conditions which are known and appropriate for said reactions. It is also possible here to make use of variants known per se, which are not mentioned in greater detail in the present description.
If desired, the starting materials can also be formed in situ so that they are immediately reacted further to give the compounds of formula I rather than being isolated from the reaction mixture.
The compounds of formula I can be obtained by being freed from their functional derivatives by solvolysis, especially hydrolysis, or by hydrogenolysis.
Preferred starting materials for solvolysis or hydrogenolysis are those which have formula I except that they contain appropriate protected amino and/or hydroxy groups in place of one or more free amino and/or hydroxy groups, preferably those carrying an amino-protecting group in place of an H atom bonded to an N atom, and especially those carrying an R'--NH group in place of an H.sub.2 N group, R' being an amino-protecting group, and/or those carrying a hydroxy-protecting group in place of the H atom of a hydroxy group, for example those which have formula I except that they carry a group --C.sub.t H.sub.2t --OR" in place of a group --C.sub.t H.sub.2t --R.sup.9, and/or a group --OR" in place of a group R.sup.8, R" being a hydroxy-protecting group.
There may also be several--identical or different--protected amino and/or hydroxy groups in the molecule of the starting material. If the protecting groups present are different from one another, they can be cleaved selectively in many cases.
The expression "amino-protecting group" is generally known and refers to groups which are suitable for protecting an amino group from chemical reactions (blocking an amino group), but which can easily be removed after the desired chemical reaction has been carried out at another site of the molecule. Typical examples of such groups are especially unsubstituted or substituted acyl, aryl (for example 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP)), aralkoxymethyl (for example benzyloxymethyl (BOM)) or aralkyl (for example benzyl, 4-nitrobenzyl, triphenylmethyl) groups. As the amino-protecting groups are removed after the desired reaction (or reaction sequence), their nature and size are not critical, although those having 1-20, especially 1-8 C atoms are preferred. The expression "acyl group" is to be understood in the broadest sense in connection with the present process. It includes acyl groups derived from aliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic acids or sulfonic acids, especially alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl and, in particular, aralkoxycarbonyl groups. Examples of such acyl groups are alkanoyl such as acetyl, propionyl and butyryl; aralkanoyl such as phenylacetyl; aroyl such as benzoyl or toluyl; aryloxyalkanoyl such as phenoxyacetyl; alkoxycarbonyl such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, isopropoxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) or 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl; and aralkoxycarbonyl such as benzyloxycarbonyl (CBZ), 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl or 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC). Preferred amino-protecting groups are BOC, DNP and BOM, as well as CBZ, benzyl and acetyl.
The expression "hydroxy-protecting group" is also generally known and refers to groups which are suitable for protecting a hydroxy group from chemical reactions, but which can easily be removed after the desired chemical reaction has been carried out at another site of the molecule. Typical examples of such groups are the above-mentioned unsubstituted or substituted aryl, aralkyl or acyl groups, as well as alkyl groups. The nature and size of the hydroxy-protecting groups is not critical as they are removed after the desired chemical reaction or reaction sequence; preferred groups are those having 1-20, especially 1-10 C atoms. Examples of hydroxy-protecting groups are, inter alia, tert-butyl, benzyl, p-nitrobenzoyl, p-toluenesulfonyl and acetyl, benzyl and acetyl being particularly preferred.
The functional derivatives of the compounds of formula I to be used as starting materials can be prepared by conventional methods of amino acid and peptide synthesis, such as those described for example in the cited standard works and patent applications, for example also by Merrifield's solid phase method.
The freeing of the compounds of formula I from their functional derivatives is effected--depending on the protecting group used--for example with strong acids, conveniently with trifluoroacetic acid or perchloric acid, or else with other strong inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, strong organic carboxylic acids such as trichloroacetic acid, or sulfonic acids such as benzene- or p-toluene-sulfonic acid. The presence of an additional inert solvent is possible, but not always necessary.
Suitable inert solvents are preferably organic, for example carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, amides such as dimethylformamide (DMF), and halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, or else alcohols such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, and water. Mixtures of the above-mentioned solvents are also suitable. Trifluoroacetic acid is preferably used in excess without the addition of another solvent; perchloric acid is preferably used in the form of a mixture of acetic acid and 70% perchloric acid in a ratio of 9:1. The reaction temperatures for the cleavage are conveniently about 0-50.degree.; the operating temperature is preferably 15-30.degree. (room temperature).
The BOC group can preferably be cleaved for example with 40% trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane or with about 3 to 5 N HCl in dioxane at preferably 15-60.degree. and the FMOC group can preferably be cleaved for example with an approximately 5-20% solution of dimethylamine, diethylamine or piperidine in DMF at preferably 15-50.degree.. The DNP group is also cleaved for example with an approximately 3-10% solution of 2-mercaptoethanol in DMF/water at preferably 15-30.degree..
Protecting groups which can be removed by hydrogenolysis (for example BOM, CBZ or benzyl) can be cleaved for example by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (for example a noble metal catalyst such as palladium, conveniently on a support such as charcoal). Solvents which are suitable for this purpose are those indicated above, for example especially alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, or amides such as DMF. As a rule, the hydrogenolysis is carried out at temperatures of preferably about 0-100.degree. and pressures of preferably 1-200 bar, particularly at 20-30.degree. and 1-10 bar. Hydrogenolysis of the CBZ group is successful for example on 5-10% Pd/C in methanol at preferably 20-30.degree..
Compounds of formula I can also be obtained by direct condensation from a carboxylic acid component (formula II) and an amino component (formula III). Examples of suitable carboxylic acid components are those of the partial formulae
(a) Y--(C.sub.m H.sub.2m --CHR.sup.1).sub.n --COOH,
(b) Y--(C.sub.m H.sub.2m --CHR.sup.1).sub.n --CO--NH--CHR.sup.2 --COOH or ##STR5## and examples of suitable amino components are those of the partial formulae
(a) H--(NH--CHR.sup.2 --CO).sub.r --Z,
(b) H--Z or
(c) H.sub.2 N--C.sub.p H.sub.2p --CHR.sup.7 --CO--R.sup.8.
Said condensation reaction is conveniently carried out by conventional methods of peptide synthesis, such as those described for example in Houben-Weyl, loc. cit., volume 15/II, pages 1-806 (1974).
The reaction is preferably performed in the presence of a dehydrating agent, for example a carbodiimide such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCI) or N-dimethylaminopropyl-N'-ethylcarbodiimide (DAPECI), or else propanephosphonic anhydride (compare Angew. Chem. 92, 129 (1980)), diphenylphosphorylazide or 2-ethoxy-N-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline, in an inert solvent, for example a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane, an ether such as TEF or dioxane, an amide such as DMF or dimethylacetamide, or a nitrile such as acetonitrile, at temperatures of preferably about -10-40, particularly 0-30.degree..
In the reaction, II or III can also be replaced with suitable reactive derivatives of these substances, for example those in which reactive groups are blocked with protecting groups as an intermediate measure. The acid derivatives II can be used for example in the form of their activated esters, which are conveniently formed in situ, for example by the addition of HOBt or N-hydroxysuccinimide.
An amidine of formula I (R.sup.3 or R.sup.5 =H.sub.2 N--C(.dbd.NH)--) can also be prepared by adding ammonia on to a nitrile which has formula I except that it contains a CN group in place of R.sup.3 or R.sup.5. The addition reaction is preferably effected in several steps, in a manner known per se, as follows: a) the nitrile is converted with H.sub.2 S to a thioamide, which is converted with an alkylating agent, for example CH.sub.3 I, to the corresponding S-alkylimidothioester, which in turn reacts with NH.sub.3 to give the amidine, b) the nitrile is converted with an alcohol, for example ethanol, in the presence of HCl, to the corresponding imidoester, which is treated with ammonia, or c) the nitrile is reacted with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and the product is then hydrolysed.
Some of the starting materials for the indicated process variants, for example. Those of formulae II and III, are known. Those which are not known can be prepared by known methods, for example the abovementioned methods involving condensation and the cleavage of protecting groups.
If desired, a carboxylic acid group in a compound of formula I can be esterified or converted to a hydroxamic acid group, or an ester group can be saponified.
For esterification, an acid of formula I (R.sup.8 =OH) can be treated with an excess of an alcohol of the formula R--OH, conveniently in the presence of a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, at temperatures of preferably 0-100, particularly 20-50.degree..
To prepare hydroxamic acids of formula I (R.sup.8 =NHOH), a corresponding ester of formula I (R.sup.8 =OA). is conveniently treated with hydroxylamine, which can be freed from one of its salts, for example the hydrochloride, with an-alkali metal alcoholate, for example sodium ethylate. The reaction is conveniently carried out in the presence of an inert solvent, for example an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, at temperatures of preferably about 0-40, particularly 15-30.degree..
Furthermore, a compound of formula I wherein R.sup.8 is OA can conveniently be converted to the corresponding compound of formula I wherein R.sup.8 is OH by selective solvolysis using one of the methods indicated above, for example with NaOH or KOH in water/dioxane at temperatures of preferably 0-40.degree., particularly 10-30.degree..
Furthermore, an H atom in a compound of formula I can be replaced with an amidino group by treatment with an amidine-forming agent. Suitable starting materials are preferably piperazine derivatives wherein R.sup.3 =H; the preferred amidine-forming agent is 1-amidino-3,5-dimethylpyrazole, which is used especially in the form of its nitrate. The reaction is conveniently carried out with the addition of a base such as triethylamine or ethyldiisopropylamine, in an inert solvent or solvent mixture, for example water/dioxane, at temperatures of preferably 0-120.degree., particularly 60-120.degree..
A base of formula I can be converted with an acid to the corresponding acid addition salt. Acids which are particularly suitable for this reaction are those yielding physiologically acceptable salts. Thus it is possible to use inorganic acids, for example sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrohalic acids such as hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid, phosphorus acids such as orthophosphoric acid, and sulfamic acid, as well as organic acids, especially aliphatic, alicyclic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic monobasic or polybasic carboxylic, sulfonic or sulfuric acids, for example formic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid, methane- or ethane-sulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenemonosulfonic and naphthalenedisulfonic acids and laurylsulfuric acid. Salts with physiologically unacceptable acids, for example picrates, can be used to isolate and/or purify the compounds of formula I.
The novel compounds of formula I and their physiologically acceptable salts can be used for the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations by being converted to a suitable dosage form together with at least one excipient or adjunct and, if desired, together with one or more other active ingredients. The resulting preparations can be used as drugs in human or veterinary medicine. Possible excipients are organic or inorganic substances which are suitable for enteral (for example oral or rectal) or parenteral administration or for administration in the form of an inhalation spray, and which do not react with the novel compounds, for example water, vegetable oils, benzyl alcohols, polyethylene glycols, glycerol triacetate and other fatty acid glycerides, gelatin, soya lecithin, carbohydrates such as lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc and cellulose. Tablets, coated tablets, capsules, syrups, juices or drops, in particular, are used for oral administration; film-coated tablets and capsules with coatings or shells resistant to gastric juices are of special value. Suppositories are used for rectal administration and solutions, preferably oily or aqueous solutions, as well as suspensions, emulsions or implants, are used for parenteral administration.
For administration as an inhalation spray, it is possible to use sprays which contain the active ingredient either dissolved or suspended in a propellant gas mixture. It is convenient here to use the active ingredient in micronized form, it being possible for one or more additional physiologically compatible solvents, for example ethanol, to be present. Inhalation solutions can be administered with the aid of conventional inhalers. The novel compounds can also be lyophilized and the resulting lyophilizates used for example for the manufacture of injection preparations. Said preparations can be sterilized and/or can contain adjuncts such as preservatives, stabilizers and/or wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for influencing the osmotic pressure, buffer substances, colors and/or flavorings. If desired, they can also contain one or more other active ingredients, for example one or more vitamins.
As a rule, the substances according to the invention are administered analogously to other known and commercially available peptides, but in particular analogously to the compounds described in EP-A-249096, preferably in dosages of about 5 mg-1 g, especially 50-500 mg per dosage unit. The daily dosage is preferably about 0.1-20 mg/kg, especially 1-10 mg/kg of body weight. However, the particular dose for each individual patient depends on a very wide variety of factors, for example the efficacy of the particular compound used, age, body weight, general state of health, sex, diet, time and route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination and severity of the particular disease for which the therapy is intended. Oral administration is preferred.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, using the preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following preferred specific embodiments are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever.
In the foregoing and in the following examples, unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentages are by weight.
The entire disclosure of all applications, patents and publications, cited above and below, and of corresponding German application P 43 02 485.8 are hereby incorporated by reference.
