Abstract
This invention relates to compounds having the following formula ##STR1## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which are useful in the inhibition of platelet aggregation, to pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds and to a method of inhibiting platelet aggregation in mammals by administering such compounds and compositions.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical agents and compounds which inhibit platelet aggregation in mammals.
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.
ln 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.
European Patent Application 445,796 discloses platelet aggregation inhibitors which contain peptide linkages, namely N-[N-[4-(p-amidinobenzamido)butyryl]-L-.alpha.-aspartyl]valine compounds. The compounds inhibit cell-cell adhesion and the binding of adhesive proteins to platelets.
European Patent Application 372,486 discloses N-acyl beta amino acid derivatives which are useful as cell adhesion inhibitors and are especially useful for inhibiting platelet aggregation.
European Patent Application 381,033 discloses amidino or guanidinoaryl substituted alkanoic acid derivatives which inhibit protein to receptor binding and are useful for the treatment of thrombosis and cardiac infarction.

General synthetic sequences for preparing the compounds of formula I are outlined in Schemes A-G. ##STR5##
The novel platelet aggregation inhibitors of the present invention can be prepared by 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)] combined with standard synthetic methods. The general synthetic sequence is outlined in Scheme A. The cyano group is converted to the amidine via the thioimidate in nearly quantitative yield. 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). The final compounds for biological testing were obtained by purification by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography [High Performance Liquid Chromatography Protein and Peptide Chemistry (F. Lottspeich, A. Henscher, K. P. Hupe, eds.) Walter DeGruyter, New York, 1981].
The benzonitrile urea derivative of Scheme A can be prepared from the corresponding acid derivative using a Curtius rearrangement as outlined in Scheme B. The intermediate isocyanate can be prepared in a three step process using trimethylsilylazide [H. R. Kricheldorf, Chem. Ber., Vol. 105, 3958-3965 (1972)] followed by aqueous hydrolysis to the amine. The amine is converted to the isocyanate by treatment with triphosghene [H. Eckert and B. Forsten, Anqew. Chem. Int. Ed. Enol. 894-895 (1987)] and subsequent reaction with the beta amino ester affords the benzonitrile urea of Scheme A. Alternatively, the benzonitrile urea is obtained directly from the corresponding acid by treatment with diphenylphosphorylazide [S. Yamada, K. Ninomiya and T. Shioiri Tetrahedron Lett. 2343 (1973); P. A. S. Smith Org. React. Vol. 3, 337 (1946); J. H. Saunders, R. J. Slocombe, Chem. Rev., V. 43, 203 (1948)] followed by trapping the intermediate isocyanate with the beta amino ester.
The benzonitrile acid of Scheme B where A=alkenyl, alkynyl, or alkyl having 2 to 4 carbon atoms can be prepared in the following manner: The halobenzonitrile (Z=H) is coupled to an omega alkynoic (Scheme C-Method I) or alkenoic acid (Scheme C-Method 2) using a palladium(O) based coupling reaction ["Heck Reaction"--Palladium Reagents in Organic Syntheses (Richard F. Heck), Academic Press, New York, 1985].
The preferred conditions for the palladium coupling reaction differed for the alkynoic acid and the alkenoic acid coupling components. When A=alkynyl having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, the preferred conditions for the palladium coupling reaction utilized tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(O) as catalyst and piperidine as the solvent [Scheme C-Method 1, for related conditions see: H. A. Dieck and F. R. Heck J. Oroanometallic Chem. 259-263(1975)]. When A=alkenyl having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, the preferred conditions for the alkenoic acid coupling component utilized the phase transfer conditions of Jeffery and Larock [Scheme C-Method 2, T. Jeffery J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1287-89(1984); R. C.Larock Tetrahedron Lett. 2603-2606 (1989)]. These conditions [phase transfer agent-tetrabutylammonium salt, catalyst-palladium(II) acetate, base-potassium acetate, solvent-dimethyl formamide] are extremely mild conditions which afforded a good yield of coupled olefin. Compounds where A=alkyl were obtained through a selective reduction of the double bond by catalytic reduction over palladium on calcium carbonate.
The required omega alkenoic acids are either 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 either commercially available or can be synthesized from the omega haloalkanoic acids and lithium acetylide [W. J. DeJarlais, E. A. Emken Synthetic Commun. 653 (1980); J. Cossy, J. P. Pete Tetrahedron Lett. 573 (1986)].
An alternative method for the preparation of the (cyanophenyl)alkenoic acid unit (A=alkenyl) can be employed using a standard Wittig reaction (Wittig Reaction-Recent Review- B. E. Maryanoff, A. B. Reitz Chem Rev. 863-927 (1989)] with cyanobenzaldehyde and an omega substituted (carboxyalkyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide as the two reaction components (Scheme C-Method 3) [for related conditions see: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 397 (1970); Ibid 6831 and 7185 (1973)].
The substituents, Z=halogen, alkyl, hydroxy, or alkoxy, can be introduced where A=alkyl at the benzonitrile stage (e.g. compound 4, Scheme F) using bromine, iodine, or chlorine to halogenate the ring (Scheme D). The 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 Z=alkyl by hydrogenolysis [Reductions in Organic Chemistry (M. Hudlicky, ed.), John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1984] as shown in Scheme D.
The substituents, Z=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 D) M. Taddei and A. Ricci Synthesis 633-635 (1986)] which affords the silyl ether. The silyl ether can be converted to the Z=OH by treatment with hydrochloric acid [M. Taddei and A. Ricci ibid]. The Z=OR can be formed by treating the derivative where Z=OH with weak base (K.sub.2 CO.sub.3) and an appropriate alkyl halide [R8-Hal, 2 equivalents, see: C. F. H. Allen and J. W. Gates, Jr. Organic Syntheses Coll. Vol. 3 140 (1955)] which Will form the ester as well. The ester can be selectively cleaved in the presence of the ether with one equivalent of sodium hydroxide (Scheme D).
The beta amino acids can be either purchased or prepared from commercially available starting materials using known methods as illustrated in Scheme E. The racemic beta aryl beta amino acids can be prepared from the appropriate aryl aldehyde, malonic acid, and ammonium acetate as shown in Scheme E-Method 1 (Johnson and Livak J. Am. Chem. Soc. 299 (1936)]. The racemic beta alkyl beta amino acids can be prepared from the corresponding alkene and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI) which goes through the beta lactam intermediate as shown in Scheme E-Method 2 [W. A. Szabo Aldrichimic Acta 23 (1977); R. Graf Anqew. Chem. Internat. Edit 172 (1968)]. The beta lactam can be opened to the ethyl ester by treatment with anhydrous hydrochloric acid in ethanol as shown Scheme E. For example, 1,3-butadiene was reacted with CSI to form the corresponding vinyl beta lactam and following subsequent opening with anhydrous HCl in ethanol was used in example 11.
An alternative method to form racemic beta amino esters is shown in Scheme E-Method 3. Nucleophiles (Nuc) can be added to 4-benzoyloxy-2-azetidinone to afford a variety of 3-substituted beta amino esters after treatment with anhydrous HCl in ethanol. For example, 1-lithio-2-trimethylsilylethyne was added to 4-benzoyloxy-2-azetidinone to afford the beta amino ester of example 9 after ring opening and treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride [for a similar reaction see: D. H. Hua and A. Verma Tetrahedron Lett. 547-550 (1985) or T. Kametani, Heterocycles, vol. 17 463 (1982)]. 4-benzoyloxy-2-azetidinone was reacted with allyltrimethylsilane under Lewis acid catalysis [titanium tetrachloride- K., Prasad et. al Vol. 19 Heterocycles 2099 (1982)].
The racemic beta amino acids can be resolved using classical methods as described in the literature [E. Fischer, H. Scheibler, R. Groh Ber. 2020 (1910); E. Fischer, H. Scheibler Annalen 337(19II)]. Furthermore, classical chromatographic separation of diastereomeric amides can be used to separate the enantiomers of the racemic beta amino esters. For example, ethyl 3S-amino-1-trimethylsilyl-4-pentynoate was separated by making the diastereomeric O-methylmandelic amide and chromatographic separation as described in the literature for the separation of propargyl amines [B. M. Nilsson and U. Hacksell Acta Chemica Scandinavica Vol. B42 55-58 (1988)]. Ethyl 3S-amino-1-trimethylsilyl-4-pentynoate was converted to 3S-amino-4-pentynoate by treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride [K. Mikami, K. Kawamoto, T. Nakai Tetrahedron Lett. 5799-5802 (1985)] and used in example 9.
Chiral beta amino acids can be prepared using many different approaches including the following methods: homologation of the alpha amino acids using an Arndt-Eistert reaction as shown in Scheme E-Method 4 [Meier and Zeller AnEew. Chem. Int. Ed. Eng. 32-43 (1975)] [M. Rodriguez et. al. Tetrahedron Lett. 5153 (1990); W. J. Greenlee J. Med. Chem. 434 (1985) and references therein]; through the addition of chiral amines to alpha, beta unsaturated esters bearing a chiral auxiliary as shown in Scheme E-Method 5 [J. d'Angelo and J. Maddaluno J. Am. Chem. Soc. 8112-14 (1986)]; through an enantioselective hydrogenation of a dehydroamino acid as shown in Scheme E method 6 [see: Asymmetric Synthesis, Vol. 5, (J. D. Morrison, ed.) Academic Press, New York, [1985]; through the addition of enantiomerically pure amines to alpha, beta unsaturated esters as shown in Scheme E-Method 7 [see: S. G. Davies and O. Ichihara Tetrahedron; Asymmetry 18314 186 (1991 )].
A specific synthesis of the antiplatelet agent (11) is shown in Scheme F and the specific synthesis of (14) is shown in Scheme G. The compound numbers correspond to the compound numbers in example 1. Examples 3-18 were prepared using the method of example 1 or example 2 with the specific changes as stated in each example, and in the general manner described in Schemes A and B. Examples 2-18 further illustrate the nature of the novel compounds in this invention. It will be understood that these novel compounds are not limited to the disclosed methods of making them.
Contemplated equivalents of the platelet aggregation inhibitors, derivatives and intermediates of the formulas set forth above include compounds having the same general properties, wherein one or more of the various R groups are simple variations of the substituents as defined herein, e.g., wherein R is a higher alkyl group than that indicated. In addition, where a substituent can be a hydrogen, a substituent other than hydrogen can be introduced at that position, e.g., a hydrocarbon radical or a halogen, hydroxy, amino and the like, as long as the overall activity and/or synthesis procedure is not affected.
The chemical reactions described above are generally disclosed in terms of their broadest application to the preparation of the compounds of this invention. Occasionally, the reactions may not be applicable as described to each compound included within the disclosed scope. The compounds for which this occurs will be readily recognized by those skilled in the art. In all such cases, either reactions can be successfully performed by conventional modifications known to those skilled in the art, e.g., by appropriate protection of interfering groups, by changing to alternative conventional reagents, by routine modification of reaction conditions, and the like, or other reactions disclosed herein or otherwise conventional.
The following examples are provided to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope thereof. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that known variations of the conditions and processes of the following preparative procedures can be used to prepare the compounds of the present invention.

Section A.
5-(p-Cyanophenyl-4-pentenoic acid (3)
Tetrabutylammonium chloride (hydrate, 17.8 g) was dried by azeotroping with benzene (250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a Dean-Stark apparatus). The benzene was removed in vacuo affording anhydrous tetrabutylammonium chloride (17.0 g, 61.2 mmol). To this flask under argon were added triphenylphosphine (820 mg, 3.13 mmol), palladium acetate (703 mg, 3.13 mmol), 4-bromobenzonitrile (16.9 g, 92.8 mmol), potassium acetate (36.8 g, 375 mmol) and 100 mL of degassed anhydrous dimethylformamide (degassed by bubbling argon through for 10 min, dried over molecular sieves). A solution of 4-pentenoic acid (6.27 g, 62.6 mmol) and degassed anhydrous DMF (35 mL) was then added to the rapidly stirring reaction mixture at 23.degree. C. After 21 hours at 23.degree. C., the reaction mixture was poured slowly into a sodium carbonate solution (3%, 400 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL). The aqueous layer was treated with decolorizing carbon, and filtered. Then, the aqueous layer was acidified to a pH of 2 with 10% HCl which afforded a White solid (6.82 g, 54%): m.p. 150.degree.-167.degree. C.
The above procedure affords (3) in sufficient purity to take on to the next step without complications. An analytical sample was obtained by submitting the sample to further purification by flash chromatography (ethyl acetate:methylene chloride:acetic acid, 1:4:0.05) and recrystallization from ethyl acetate (2 times): m.p. 154.degree.-156.degree. C.

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 0.129 M 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.10s 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 assay results for the compounds of Examples 1-16 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.
INHIBITION OF EX VIVO COLLAGEN INDUCED AGGREGATION BY COMPOUNDS OF THE INVENTION
The purpose of this assay is to determine the effects of antiplatelet compounds on ex vivo collagen induced platelet aggregation when administered 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 intragastrically (either by capsule or stomach tube). 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.
