Pyrrolidine and piperidine modulators of chemokine receptor activity

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines that are released by a wide variety of cells to attract macrophages, T cells, eosinophils, basophils and neutrophils to sites of inflammation (reviewed in Schall, Cytokine, 3, 165-183 (1991) and Murphy, Rev. Immun., 12, 593-633 (1994)). There are two classes of chemokines, C-X-C (.alpha.) and C-C (.beta.), depending on whether the first two cysteines are separated by a single amino acid (C-X-C) or are adjacent (C-C). The .alpha.-chemokines, such as interleukin-8 (IL-8), neutrophil-activating protein-2 (NAP-2) and melanoma growth stimulatory activity protein (MGSA) are chemotactic primarily for neutrophils, whereas .beta.-chemokines, such as RANTES, MIP-1.alpha., MIP-1.beta., monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), MCP-2, MCP-3 and eotaxin are chemotactic for macrophages, T-cells, eosinophils and basophils (Deng, et al., Nature 381, 661-666 (1996)).
The chemokines bind specific cell-surface receptors belonging to the family of G-protein-coupled seven-transmembrane-domain proteins (reviewed in Horuk, Trends Pharm. Sci., 15, 159-165 (1994)) which are termed "chemokine receptors." On binding their cognate ligands, chemokine receptors transduce an intracellular signal though the associated trimeric G protein, resulting in a rapid increase in intracellular calcium concentration. There are at least seven human chemokine receptors that bind or respond to .beta.-chemokines with the following characteristic pattern: CCR-1 (or "CKR-1" or "CC-CKR-1") [MIP-1.alpha., MIP-1.beta., MCP-3, RANTES] (Ben-Barruch, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270, 22123-22128 (1995); Beote, et al, Cell, 72, 415-425 (1993)); CCR-2A and CCR-2B (or "CKR-2A"/"CKR-2A" or "CC-CKR-2A"/"CC-CKR-2A") [MCP-1, MCP-3, MCP-4]; CCR-3 (or "CKR-3" or "CC-CKR-3") [eotaxin, RANTES, MCP-3] (Combadiere, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270, 16491-16494 (1995); CCR-4 (or "CKR-4" or "CC-CKR-4") [MIP-1.alpha., RANTES, MCP-1] (Power, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270, 19495-19500 (1995)); CCR-5 (or "CKR-5" or "CC-CKR-5") [MIP-1.alpha., RANTES, MIP-1.beta.] (Sanson, et al., Biochemistry, 35, 3362-3367 (1996)); and the Duffy blood-group antigen [RANTES, MCP-1] (Chaudhun, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269, 7835-7838 (1994)). The .beta.-chemokines include eotaxin, MIP ("macrophage inflammatory protein"), MCP ("monocyte chemoattractant protein") and RANTES ("regulation-upon-activation, normal T expressed and secreted").
Chemokine receptors, such as CCR-1, CCR-2, CCR-2A, CCR-2B, CCR-3, CCR-4, CCR-5, CXCR-3, CXCR-4, have been implicated as being important mediators of inflammatory and immunoregulatory disorders and diseases, including asthma and allergic diseases, as well as autoimmune pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. Accordingly, agents which modulate chemokine receptors would be useful in such disorders and diseases.
A retrovirus designated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) is the etiological agent of the complex disease that includes progressive destruction of the immune system (acquired immune deficiency syndrome; AIDS) and degeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system. This virus was previously known as LAV, HTLV-III, or ARV.
Certain compounds have been demonstrated to inhibit the replication of HIV, including soluble CD4 protein and synthetic derivatives (Smith, et al., Science, 238, 1704-1707 (1987)), dextran sulfate, the dyes Direct Yellow 50, Evans Blue, and certain azo dyes (U.S. Pat. No. 5,468,469). Some of these antiviral agents have been shown to act by blocking the binding of gp120, the coat protein of HIV, to its target, the CD4 gyycoprotein of the cell.
Entry of HIV-1 into a target cell requires cell-surface CD4 and additional host cell cofactors. Fusin has been identified as a cofactor required for infection with virus adapted for growth in transformed T-cells, however, fusin does not promote entry of macrophagetropic viruses which are believed to be the key pathogenic strains of HIV in vivo. It has recently been recognized that for efficient entry into target cells, human immunodeficiency viruses require the chemokine receptors CCR-5 and CXCR-4, as well as the primary receptor CD4 (Levy, N. Engl. J. Med., 335(20), 1528-1530 (Nov. 14, 1996). The principal cofactor for entry mediated by the envelope glycoproteins of primary macrophage-trophic strains of HIV-1 is CCR5, a receptor for the .beta.-chemokines RANTES, MIP-1.alpha. and MIP-1.beta. (Deng, et al., Nature, 381, 661-666 (1996)). HIV attaches to the CD4 molecule on cells through a region of its envelope protein, gp120. It is believed that the CD-4 binding site on the gp120 of HIV interacts with the CD4 molecule on the cell surface, and undergoes conformational changes which allow it to bind to another cell-surface receptor, such as CCR5 and/or CXCR-4. This brings the viral envelope closer to the cell surface and allows interaction between gp41 on the viral envelope and a fusion domain on the cell surface, fusion with the cell membrane, and entry of the viral core into the cell. It has been shown that .beta.-chemokine ligands prevent HIV-1 from fusing with the cell (Dragic, et al., Nature, 381, 667-673 (1996)). It has further been demonstrated that a complex of gp120 and soluble CD4 interacts specifically with CCR-5 and inhibits the binding of the natural CCR-5 ligands MIP-1.alpha. and MIP-1.beta. (Wu, et al., Nature, 384, 179-183 (1996); Trkola, et al., Nature 384, 184-187 (1996)).
Humans who are homozygous for mutant CCR-5 receptors which do not serve as co-receptors for HIV-1 in vitro appear to be unusually resistant to HIV-1 infection and are not immunocompromised by the presence of this genetic variant (Nature, 382, 722-725 (1996)). Absence of CCR-5 appears to confer protection from HIV-1 infection (Nature, 382, 668-669 (1996)). Other chemokine receptors may be used by some strains of HIV-1 or may be favored by non-sexual routes of transmission. Although most HIV-1 isolates studied to date utilize CCR-5 or fusin, some can use both as well as the related CCR-2B and CCR-3 as co-receptors (Nature Medicine, 2(11), 1240-1243 (1996)). Nevertheless, drugs targeting chemokine receptors may not be unduly compromised by the genetic diversity of HIV-1 (Zhang, et al., Nature, 383, 768 (1996)). Accordingly, an agent which could block chemokine receptors in humans who possess normal chemokine receptors should prevent infection in healthy individuals and slow or halt viral progression in infected patients. By focusing on the host's cellular immune response to HIV infection, better therapies towards all subtypes of HIV may be provided. These results indicate that inhibition of chemokine receptors presents a viable method for the prevention or treatment of infection by HIV and the prevention or treatment of AIDS.
The peptides eotaxin, RANTES, MIP-1.alpha., MIP-1.beta., MCP-1, and MCP-3 are known to bind to chemokine receptors. As noted above, the inhibitors of HIV-1 replication present in supernatants of CD8+ T cells have been characterized as the .beta.-chemokines RANTES, MIP-1.alpha. and MIP-1.beta.. PCT Patent Publication WO 97/10211 and EPO Patent Publication EP 0,673,928 disclose certain piperidines as tachykinin antagonists.

Virology, 65 (9), 4887-4892(1991).
In particular, the compounds of the following examples had activity in binding to the CCR-5 receptor or to the CCR-3 receptor in the aforementioned assays, generally with an IC.sub.50 of less than about 10 .mu.M. Such a result is indicative of the intrinsic activity of the compounds in use as modulators of chemokine receptor activity.
Mammalian chemokine receptors provide a target for interfering with or promoting eosinophil and/or lymphocyte function in a mammal, such as a human. Compounds which inhibit or promote chemokine receptor function, are particularly useful for modulating eosinophil and/or lymphocyte function for therapeutic purposes. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to compounds which are useful in the prevention and/or treatment of a wide variety of inflammatory and immunoregulatory disorders and diseases, including asthma and allergic diseases, as well as autoimmune pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis.
For example, an instant compound which inhibits one or more functions of a mammalian chemokine receptor (e.g., a human chemokine receptor) may be administered to inhibit (i.e., reduce or prevent) inflammation. As a result, one or more inflammatory processes, such as leukocyte emigration, chemotaxis, exocytosis (e.g., of enzymes, histamine) or inflammatory mediator release, is inhibited. For example, eosinophilic infiltration to inflammatory sites (e.g., in asthma) can be inhibited according to the present method.
Similarly, an instant compound which promotes one or more functions of a mammalian chemokine receptor (e.g., a human chemokine) is administered to stimulate (induce or enhance) an inflammatory response, such as leukocyte emigration, chemotaxis, exocytosis (e.g., of enzymes, histamine) or inflammatory mediator release, resulting in the beneficial stimulation of inflammatory processes. For example, eosinophils can be recruited to combat parasitic infections.
In addition to primates, such as humans, a variety of other mammals can be treated according to the method of the present invention. For instance, mammals including, but not limited to, cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats or other bovine, ovine, equine, canine, feline, rodent or murine species can be treated. However, the method can also be practiced in other species, such as avian species (e.g., chickens).
Diseases and conditions associated with inflammation and infection can be treated using the method of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, the disease or condition is one in which the actions of eosinophils and/or lymphocytes are to be inhibited or promoted, in order to modulate the inflammatory response.
Diseases or conditions of humans or other species which can be treated with inhibitors of chemokine receptor function, include, but are not limited to: inflammatory or allergic diseases and conditions, including respiratory allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, hypersensitivity lung diseases, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, eosinophilic pneumonias (e.g., Loeffler's syndrome, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia), delayed-type hypersentitivity, interstitial lung diseases (ILD) (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or ILD associated with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic sclerosis, Sjogren's syndrome, polymyositis or dermatomyositis); systemic anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity responses, drug allergies (e.g., to penicillin, cephalosporins), insect sting allergies; autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, juvenile onset diabetes; glomerulonephritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, Behcet's disease; graft rejection (e.g., in transplantation), including allograft rejection or graft-versus-host disease; inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis; spondyloarthropathies; scleroderma; psoriasis (including T-cell mediated psoriasis) and inflammatory dermatoses such an dermatitis, eczema, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, urticaria; vasculitis (e.g., necrotizing, cutaneous, and hypersensitivity vasculitis); eosinphilic myositis, eosinophilic fasciitis; cancers with leukocyte infiltration of the skin or organs. Other diseases or conditions in which undesirable inflammatory responses are to be inhibited can be treated, including, but not limited to, reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, certain hematologic malignancies, cytokine-induced toxicity (e.g., septic shock, endotoxic shock), polymyositis, dermatomyositis.
Diseases or conditions of humans or other species which can be treated with promoters of chemokine receptor function, include, but are not limited to: immunosuppression, such as that in individuals with immunodeficiency syndromes such as AIDS, individuals undergoing radiation therapy, chemotherapy, therapy for autoimmune disease or other drug therapy (e.g., corticosteroid therapy), which causes immunosuppression; immunosuppression due congenital deficiency in receptor function or other causes; and infectious diseases, such as parasitic diseases, including, but not limited to helminth infections, such as nematodes (round worms); (Trichuriasis, Enterobiasis, Ascariasis, Hookworm, Strongyloidiasis, Trichinosis, filariasis); trematodes (flukes) (Schistosomiasis, Clonorchiasis), cestodes (tape worms) (Echinococcosis, Taeniasis saginata, Cysticercosis); visceral worms, visceral larva migrans (e.g., Toxocara), eosinophilic gastroenteritis (e.g., Anisaki spp., Phocanema ssp.), cutaneous larva migrans (Ancylostona braziliense, Ancylostoma caninum).
The compounds of the present invention are accordingly useful in the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of inflammatory and immunoregulatory disorders and diseases.
In another aspect, the instant invention may be used to evaluate putative specific agonists or antagonists of chemokine receptors, including CCR-1, CCR-2, CCR-2A, CCR-2B, CCR-3, CCR-4, CCR-5, CXCR-3, and CXCR-4. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to the use of these compounds in the preparation and execution of screening assays for compounds which modulate the activity of chemokine receptors. For example, the compounds of this invention are useful for isolating receptor mutants, which are excellent screening tools for more potent compounds. Furthermore, the compounds of this invention are useful in establishing or determining the binding site of other compounds to chemokine receptors, e.g., by competitive inhibition. The compounds of the instant invention are also useful for the evaluation of putative specific modulators of the chemokine receptors, including CCR-1, CCR-2, CCR-2A, CCR-2B, CCR-3, CCR-4, CCR-5, CXCR-3, and CXCR-4. As appreciated in the art, thorough evaluation of specific agonists and antagonists of the above chemokine receptors has been hampered by the lack of availability of non-peptidyl (metabolically resistant) compounds with high binding affinity for these receptors. Thus the compounds of this invention are commercial products to be sold for these purposes.
The present invention is further directed to a method for the manufacture of a medicament for modulating chemokine receptor activity in humans and animals comprising combining a compound of the present invention with a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent.
The present invention is further directed to the use of these compounds in the prevention or treatment of infection by a retrovirus, in particular, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the treatment of, and delaying of the onset of consequent pathological conditions such as AIDS. Treating AIDS or preventing or treating infection by HIV is defined as including, but not limited to, treating a wide range of states of HIV infection: AIDS, ARC (AIDS related complex), both symptomatic and asymptomatic, and actual or potential exposure to HIV. For example, the compounds of this invention are useful in treating infection by HIV after suspected past exposure to HIV by, e.g., blood transfusion, organ transplant, exchange of body fluids, bites, accidental needle stick, or exposure to patient blood during surgery.
In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a subject compound may be used in a method of inhibiting the binding of a human immunodeficiency virus to a chemokine receptor, such as CCR-5 and/or CXCR-4, of a target cell, which comprises contacting the target cell with an amount of the compound which is effective at inhibiting the binding of the virus to the chemokine receptor.
The subject treated in the methods above is a mammal, preferably a human being, male or female, in whom modulation of chemokine receptor activity is desired. "Modulation" as used herein is intended to encompass antagonism, agonism, partial antagonism and/or partial agonism. The term "therapeutically effective amount" means the amount of the subject compound that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician.
The term "composition" as used herein is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts. By "pharmaceutically acceptable" it is meant the carrier, diluent or excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
The terms "administration of" and or "administering a" compound should be understood to mean providing a compound of the invention or a prodrug of a compound of the invention to the individual in need of treatment.
Combined therapy to modulate chemokine receptor activity and thereby prevent and treat inflammatory and immunoregulatory disorders and diseases, including asthma and allergic diseases, as well as autoimmune pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis, and those pathologies noted above is illustrated by the combination of the compounds of this invention and other compounds which are known for such utilities.
For example, in the treatment or prevention of inflammation, the present compounds may be used in conjunction with an antiinflammatory or analgesic agent such as an opiate agonist, a lipoxygenase inhibitor, such as an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, such as a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, an interleukin inhibitor, such as an interleukin-1 inhibitor, an NMDA antagonist, an inhibitor of nitric oxide or an inhibitor of the synthesis of nitric oxide, a non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent, or a cytokine-suppressing antiinflammatory agent, for example with a compound such as acetaminophen, asprin, codiene, fentanyl, ibuprofen, indomethacin, ketorolac, morphine, naproxen, phenacetin, piroxicam, a steroidal analgesic, sufentanyl, sunlindac, tenidap, and the like. Similarly, the instant compounds may be administered with a pain reliever; a potentiator such as caffeine, an H2-antagonist, simethicone, aluminum or magnesium hydroxide; a decongestant such as phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, pseudophedrine, oxymetazoline, ephinephrine, naphazoline, xylometazoline, propylhexedrine, or levo-desoxy-ephedrine; an antiitussive such as codeine, hydrocodone, caramiphen, carbetapentane, or dextramethorphan; a diuretic; and a sedating or non-sedating antihistamine.
The present invention is further directed to combinations of the present compounds with one or more agents useful in the prevention or treatment of AIDS. For example, the compounds of this invention may be effectively administered, whether at periods of pre-exposure and/or post-exposure, in combination with effective amounts of the AIDS antivirals, immunomodulators, anti-infectives, or vaccines known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

In such combinations the compound of the present invention and other active agents may be administered separately or in conjunction. In addition, the administration of one element may be prior to, concurrent to, or subsequent to the administration of other agent(s).
The compounds of the present invention may be administered by oral, parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, ICV, intracisternal injection or infusion, subcutaneous injection, or implant), by inhalation spray, nasal, vaginal, rectal, sublingual, or topical routes of administration and may be formulated, alone or together, in suitable dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles appropriate for each route of administration. In addition to the treatment of warm-blooded animals such as mice, rats, horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, monkeys, etc., the compounds of the invention are effective for use in humans.
The pharmaceutical compositions for the administration of the compounds of this invention may conveniently be presented in dosage unit form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. All methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing the active ingredient into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. In the pharmaceutical composition the active object compound is included in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of diseases. As used herein, the term "composition" is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.
The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. They may also be coated by the techniques described in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,256,108; 4,166,452; and 4,265,874 to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release.
Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.
Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.
Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.
Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.
Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
The compounds of the present invention may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.
For topical use, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing the compounds of The present invention are employed. (For purposes of this application, topical application shall include mouth washes and gargles.)
The pharmaceutical composition and method of the present invention may further comprise other therapeutically active compounds as noted herein which are usually applied in the treatment of the above mentioned pathological conditions.
In the treatment or prevention of conditions which require chemokine receptor modulation an appropriate dosage level will generally be about 0.01 to 500 mg per kg patient body weight per day which can be administered in single or multiple doses. Preferably, the dosage level will be about 0.1 to about 250 mg/kg per day; more preferably about 0.5 to about 100 mg/kg per day. A suitable dosage level may be about 0.01 to 250 mg/kg per day, about 0.05 to 100 mg/kg per day, or about 0.1 to 50 mg/kg per day. Within this range the dosage may be 0.05 to 0.5, 0.5 to 5 or 5 to 50 mg/kg per day. For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets containing 1.0 to 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0. 20.0, 25.0, 50.0, 75.0, 100.0, 150.0, 200.0, 250.0, 300.0, 400.0, 500.0, 600.0, 750.0, 800.0, 900.0, and 1000.0 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day, preferably once or twice per day.
It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular patient may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity of the particular condition, and the host undergoing therapy.
Several methods for preparing the compounds of this invention are illustrated in the following Schemes and Examples. Starting materials are made from known procedures or as illustrated.
Several methods for preparing the compounds of this invention are illustrated in the following Schemes and Examples. ##STR16##
In one protocol, the compounds of the present invention are prepared by alkylating heterocycle I (wherein X is a leaving group such as, for example, bromide, iodide, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate) with cyclic amine II under appropriate conditions to provide compound III (Scheme 1). Cyclic amine II is available commercially or can be prepared using the methods given below.
Alternatively, heterocycle IV, bearing a carbonyl group, can be combined with the cyclic amine II and the intermediate imine or iminium species is reduced to tertiary amine III under homogenous conditions (e.g. using sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium borohydride, or sodium triacetoxyborohydride) or in the presence of hydrogen and a heterogeneous catalyst (e.g. palladium on carbon or Raney nickel).
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, heterocycle V, bearing an activated acyl side chain (wherein X', for example, is a chloride or bromide atom, or is a hydroxybenzotriazole residue from activation of the corresponding carboxylic acid with HOBt in the presence of a suitable carbodiimide) is allowed to react with cyclic amine II to provide the corresponding tertiary amide VI (Scheme 1). Compound VI can then be treated with a suitable reducing agent (e.g. diborane; borane in THF; borane dimethylsulfide, or lithium aluminum hydride) to provide the desired product VII. ##STR17##
An alternative preparation of the target compounds is carried out as shown in Scheme 2. Treatment of alcohol VIII with zinc azide bis(pyridine) complex in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate, or with diphenylphosphoryl azide, or with hydrazoic acid, provides azide IX. Reduction of IX, for example, with hydrogen and palladium on carbon, affords primary amine X. This amine can be doubly alkylated with a bis-electrophile such as XIII under basic conditions, to provide the desired chemokine receptor modulator XIV. Bis-electrophiles can be prepared from substituted glutaric anhydride derivatives such as XI by reduction to diol XII followed by double activation, using, for example, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine, or triphenylphosphine carbon tetrabromide in acetonitrile, to provide XIII (where X=Br or OTs). ##STR18##
The preparation of compounds within the scope of the instant invention which bear a 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrrolidine framework is detailed in Scheme 3. Treatment of a trans-cinnamic ester such as XV with N-benzyl-N-methoxymethyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)-methylamine (XVI) in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of an acid such as TFA, titanium tetrafluoride lithium fluoride or cesium fluoride according to the procedure of Padwa et al (J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52, 235) preferentially affords the 3,4-trans pyrrolidine XVII. Executing this sequence starting from the cis-cinnamic- ester results in preferential formation of the 3,4-cis pyrrolidine. Reduction of ester XVII, for example, with diisobutylaluminum hydride, lithium aluminium hydride, or sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride, provides the primary alcohol XVIII. Oxidation to the aldehyde XIX can be carried out under numerous conditions, such as with the Dess-Martin periodinane, with DMSO and oxalyl chloride at low temperature, followed by triethylamine (Swern oxidation), or with various chromium trioxide-based reagents (see March J. "Advanced Organic Chemistry", 4th ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, pp. 1167-1171 (1992)). Reductive amination with cyclic amine II then provides diamine XX, which can itself be a chemokine receptor modulator. Alternatively, The N-benzyl group is cleaved in a hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of 20% palladium on carbon to provide the secondary amine XXI. ##STR19##
The 1-unsubstituted pyrrolidine XXI may be further functionalized as shown in Scheme 4. Reductive amination with suitable aldehydes under standard conditions provides the tertiary amine XXII. For subunits with a primary or secondary aliphatic carbon linked to nitrogen, alkylation with a suitable halide, methanesulfonate, p-toluene-sulfonate, etc. is carried out under standard conditions to provide N-alkylated pyrrolidine XXIII. Alternatively, secondary amine XXI are acylated with, for example, acid chlorides or bromides, or activated esters such as HOBt esters (prepared by treating the precursor carboxylic acid with a suitable carbodiimide in the presence of HOBt) or a symmetrical or mixed anhydride, to give amide XXIV. The sulfonamide XXV is prepared under standard conditions by exposing XXI to an alkyl or aryl sulfonyl chloride in the presence of a suitable base to neutralize the formed hydrogen chloride. ##STR20##
Compounds possessing geminal substituents on positions 3 or 4 (or on both C3 and C4) of the pyrrolidine ring are prepared by the method shown in Scheme 5. Cycloaddition of unsaturated aldehyde XXVI with reagent XVI in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of an acid such as TFA or titanium tetrafluoride according to the procedure of Padwa et al (J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52, 235) provides pyrrolidine aldehyde XXVII. Reductive amination with cyclic amine II under standard conditions provides diamine XXVIII, which is debenzylated in a hydrogen atmosphere with palladium on charcoal catalyst, to afford the secondary pyrrolidine XXIX. Compound XXIX is further functionalized according to the chemistry detailed in Scheme 4 for compound XXI. ##STR21##
The synthesis of one framework for piperidine-based chemokine receptor modulators is given in Scheme 6. Enolate formation of the 4-piperidone derivative XXX followed by formation of the vinyl triflate with either 2-[N,N-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amino]-5-chloropyridine or with N-phenyltriflimide provides compound XI. Palladium-catalysed carbonylation in the presence of methanol then affords unsaturated ester XXII. Conjugate addition of an aryl magnesiu-m halide reagent in the presence of a copper catalyst and chlorotrimethylsilane to this species, followed by treatment with the magnesium salt of a suitable cyclic amine, then yields amide XXXIII. Reduction with lithium aluminum hydride or borane-THF affords the tertiary amine IV, which is hydrogenated under standard conditions to the secondary piperidine XKXV. This compound is alkylated, acylated or sulfonated by analogy to the conditions described for compound XXI in Scheme 4. ##STR22##
Synthesis of a piperidine derivative with an alternate presentation of the 3- and 4-substituents is given in Scheme 7. Formation of the enolate of ketoester X)=VI (prepared from commercially available 3-carbomethoxy-4-oxopiperidine and Boc anhydride) followed by addition of either 2-[N,N-bis(trifluoro-methylsulfonyl)amino]-5-chloropyridine or N-phenyltriflimide provides vinyl triflate XII. Palladium-mediated. coupling with a suitable aryl stannane or aryl boronic acid provides unsaturated ester XXXVIII. Treatment of this compound with the magnesium salt of a suitable cyclic amine then affords amide X)=, which can be reduced successively with magnesium metal in methanol followed by alane in THF, to provide the tertiary amine XL. Removal of the Boc group under standard acidic conditions yields secondary amine XLI, which can be alkylated, acylated or sulfonated by analogy to the conditions described for compound XXI in Scheme 4. ##STR23##
The cyclic amine II employed in the preceding Schemes can be obtained commercially in many cases or is prepared by a number of procedures. For example, as shown in Scheme 8, compound XLII, the N-t-butoxycarbonyl protected form of isonipecotic acid (4-piperidine-2carboxylic acid) is activated under standard conditions, for example with a carbodiimide, and converted into ester XLIII or amide XLIV. Alternatively, acid XLII is converted into the N-methyl-N-methoxy amide, XLV, which upon reaction with organomagnesium and organolithium reagents forms the ketone XLVI. The Boc group of XLIII, XLIV and XLVI is removed under acidic conditions to provide secondary amines XLVII, XLVIII and XLIX, respectively. ##STR24##
Alternatiely, CBZ-protected piperidine L is allowed to react with oxalyl chloride and then sodium azide, to provide the corresponding acyl azide, which can then be thermally rearranged to isocyanate LI (Scheme 9). Compound LI is treated with an alcohol ROH or an amine RR'NH to form carbamate LII or urea LIII, respectively, each of which is deprotected with hydrogen in the presence of palladium on carbon to secondary amines LIV or LV. ##STR25##
If the carbamate LII has R =-(CH.sub.2)xCH.sub.2 Cl, where x=1-3, then treatment with a suitable base, such as sodium hydride, lithium 5 hexamethyldisilazide or potassium t-butoxide, can induce cyclization to compound LVI (Scheme 10). For other R groups, carbamate LII is treated with an alkylating agent R'X,where R'=primary or secondary alkyl, allyl, propargyl or benzyl, while X=bromide, iodide, tosylate, mesylate or trifluoromethanesulfonate, in the presence of a suitable base, such as sodium hydride, lithium hexamethyldisilazide or potassium t-butoxide, to give derivative LVII; a similar process can be employed for urea LIII. In each case, removal of the CBZ protecting group under standard conditions provides the secondary amines LVIII and LIX. ##STR26##
Additional derivatization of a piperidine with nitrogen functionality at C4 is carried out as shown in Scheme 11. For example, if the ring nitrogen is protected with a CBZ group, as with isocyanate LI, treatment with tert-butyl alcohol in the presence of copper(I) chloride, provides Boc derivative LX. This compound is selectively deprotected to the free amine LXI. This amine is acylated with an acid chloride, a chloroformate, an isocyanate, or a carbamyl chloride, to provide compounds LXII, LII or LIII. Alternatively, amine LXI is sulfonated with an alkyl or arylsulfonyl chloride, to give sulfonamide LXIII. Compounds LXII and LXIII optionally is alkylated under the conditions given above for the preparation of LVII from LII. ##STR27##
As shown in Scheme 12, removal of the CBZ group under reductive conditions gives the desired secondary amines LIV, LYIV, LV, and LXV. ##STR28##
Functionalization of the piperidine also is carried out after it has been coupled with an Ni substituent. For example, as shown in Scheme 13, reductive deprotection of CBZ derivative IL yields secondary amine LXVI. Reductive amination with an appropriate aldehyde or ketone fragment (such as IV) provides piperidine ILVII. Removal of the Boc group under acidic conditions then gives primary amine LXVIII. This primary amine is then functionalized by analogy to the chemistry given in Scheme 11. Cyclic amines (compound II) with spirocyclic functionality are prepared in some cases using methods described in the literature; more specifically, as described in Ong, H. H. et al, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1983,26, 981-986, and Chen et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,536,716. None of the compounds in these references are disclosed to be chemokine receptor modulators. ##STR29##
Substituted spiro(indoline-3,4'-piperidine) derivatives can be prepared as shown in Scheme 14 starting from the substituted phenylhydrazine LXIX and the aldyhyde LXX. Following the Fischer indole reaction and reduction of the intermediate imine with a mild reducing agent such as sodium borohydride, the indoline LXXI can be combined with an electrophile such as an acyl chloride or a sulfonyl chloride. The protecting group on compound LXXII, for example a benzyloxycarbonyl group, can be removed by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of palladium on carbon or by exposure to trimethylsilyl iodide, to give the deprotected substituted spiro(indoline-3,4'-piperidine) LXXIII. ##STR30##
Preparation of spiro(2,3-dihydrobenzothiophene-3,4'-piperidine) derivatives is shown in Scheme 15. Reaction piperidone LXXIV with the lithium salt of methyl phenyl sulfoxide affords adduct DLXV. Base-mediated elimination-rearrangement and basic cleavage provides the allylic alcohol LXXVI. The alcohol is converted to rearranged allylic chloride LXXVII with thionyl chloride in toluene in the presence of 2,6-lutidine as a proton scavenger. Displacement of the chloride with the 2-bromothiophenol IVIII provides allylic sulfide LXXIX, which can be cyclized under radical conditions to give spiro(2,3-dihydrobenzothiophene-3,4'-piperidine) LXXX. Cleavage of the t-butoxycarbonyl group under standard conditions, such as trifluoroacetic acid, then provides the desired spirocycle LXXXI. ##STR31##
Spiro(2,3-dihydrobenzofiiran-3,4'-piperidine) derivatives are prepared as illustrated in Scheme 16. Treatment of an appropiately substituted ester of 2-fluorophenylacetate (LXXXII) with mechiorethamine hydrochloride (LXXXIII) under basic conditions provides piperidine LXXXIV, which on treatment with a strong reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride produces the corresponding 4-(hydroxymethyl) compound LXXXV. Cyclization with base provides benzofuiran LXXXVI, and cleavage of the N-methyl group is then carried out using 1-chloroethyl chloroformate or other suitable N-demethylating agents, to provide the desired intermediate LXXXVII. ##STR32##
Spiro(2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4,4'-piperidine) and spiro(1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-4,4'-piperidine) are prepared as shown in Scheme 17. Starting from the spiro(2-oxoindane-3,4'-piperidine) LXVIII (described in Claremon, D. A. et al, European Patent 0 431943 943 A2, Evans, B. E. et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,091,387, Davis, L. et al, U.S. Pat. No. 4,420,485, all of which are incorporated by reference, and Parham et al, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 41,2628 (1976)), deprotection of the piperidine nitrogen is carried out by treatment with acid, for example trifluoroacetic acid, to provide ketone LXXXIX. After protection as the trifluoroacetamide, the product is exposed to hydrazoic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid. Heating of this mixture effects a Schmidt rearrangement, to provide both tetrahydroquinoline XC and the tetrahydroisoquinoline XCI. These spiro compounds are then separated and coupled to functionalized aldehydes by the methodology given above.
Cyclic amines (compound II) which are 4-arylpiperazines functionality are prepared using methods described in the following Schemes. Starting materials are made from known procedures or as illustrated. Substituted purines are prepared as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,057,517; imidazo(1.2-a)pyrazinyl, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,242,344; (1,2,4)-triazolo(1.5-a)pyrazinyl as disclosed in J. Org. Chem, 1974, 39, 2143 and J. C. S. Perkin I, 1980, 506; 1,7-naphthyridinyl as disclosed in J. Org. Chem. 1963,28, 1753; furo(3.2-c)pyridinyl as disclosed in J. Heterocyclic Chem., 1982,19, 1207; and substituted 6-H-7,8-dihydro-thiopyrano(3.2-d)pyrimidyl as disclosed in Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 1986, 280, pp302-313.
Optionally, Compound III formed in the alkylation step is further modified in subsequent reactions. In one illustration of such an approach, the piperazine fragment may contain a nitro group, which is reduced to the amine after the coupling step. The resulting amine is further modified by acylation to provide the desired compounds. The piperazine fragment may also contain a protecting group such as a benzyl ester or a t-butyl ester. After reductive amination the protecting group is removed and the resulting acid is further reacted to provide additional analogs. Alternatively, the aldehyde portion may also contain a protecting group such as a t-butoxycarbonyl for an amino function. After reductive amination, the t-butoxycarbonyl group is removed by treatment with a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid or hydrochloric acid and the resulting amine may be acylated to provide other analogs.
The piperazine starting materials used in the coupling reaction are prepared using methods described in the literature; more specifically as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,057,517; U.S. Pat. No. 4,242,344; J. Org. Chem, 1974, 39, 2143 and J. C. S. Perkin I, 1980, 506; J. Org. Chem. 1963,28, 1753; J. Heterocyclic Chem., 1982,19, 1207; Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 1986, 280, pp302-313 ; Meurer, L.. C. et al., J. Med. Chem., 1992, 35, 3845-3857. None of these published compounds are disclosed to be chemokine receptor modulators. Alternatively, the piperazine substrates is prepared as illustrated in Schemes 18-21. ##STR33##
Substituted 4-arylpiperazines are prepared from appropriate fluorobenzene derivative as shown in Scheme 18. Thus, reaction of 2-fluorobenzonitrile with 1-t-butoxycarbonylpiperazine in the presence of a base such as K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 gives 1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-(2-cyanophenyl)-piperazine (compound XCII). Reduction of the cyano group by hydrogenation in the presence of Raney nickel or by other known methods gives benzyl amine XCIII, which is acylated or sulfonylated, to provide piperazine XCIV. The t-butoxycarbonyl protecting group is removed under acidic conditions, for example by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid or anhydrous HCl to give 1-unsubstituted piperazine XCV which can be used in the reductive amination or alkylation steps described in Scheme 1. Similar reactions using 2-chloro-nitrobenzene in the place of 2-fluorobenzonitrile provides compounds containing a substituted aniline. Analogs containing a benzoic acid or its derivatives are prepared by substituting 2-fluorobenzoic acid in this sequence. ##STR34##
Arylpiperazine derivatives containing heterocyclic substituents are synthesized as shown in Scheme 19. Reaction between 2-fluorobenzaldehyde and 1-t-butoxycarbonylpiperazine gives 1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-(2-formylphenyl)-piperazine (compound XCVI). Reduction of this aldehyde and treatment of the alcohol XCVII with methanesulfonyl chloride gives XCVIII (X=mesylate), while treatment of XCVII with triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrabromide gives XCVIII (X=bromide). Displacement of the leaving group by a heterocycle such as imidazole in the presence of a base provides piperazine XCIX. Removal of the t-butoxycarbonyl protecting group under standard anhydrous acidic conditions furnishes compound C which is used in the coupling reactions described in Scheme I. ##STR35##
Preparation of piperazines containing a heteroaryl substituent is outlined in Scheme 20, Reaction of 1-t-butoxycarbonyl-piperazine with a chloro substituted heteroaromatic compound such as 8-chloro-1,7-naphthyridine or 8-chloro-(1,2,4)-triazolo(1,5-a)pyrazine gives N-protected piperazine CI. Removal of the t-butoxycarbonyl protecting group under standard conditions by treatment with acid provides piperazine CII for use in the coupling steps outlined in Scheme 1. ##STR36##
Preparation of piperazines containing a heteroaryl substituent on a branched side chain is outlined in Scheme 21. Reaction of aldehyde XCVI whose synthesis is described in Scheme 19 with a carbon nucleophile such as a Grignard reagent, for example methyl magnesium bromide, provides the benzylic alcohol CIII. Conversion to the benzylic amine can be carried out by treatment of the alcohol with potassium phthalimide in the presence of diethyl azodicarboxylate and triphenyl phosphine, followed by heating with hydrazine hydrate, to give the free primary amine CIV. Conversion to CIV can also be carried out by activation of the hydroxyl group with a alkyl- or arylsulfonyl chloride, such as p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, to give a benzylic sulfonate ester. The sulfonate ester is then displaced with ammonia or a primary or secondary amine. Alternatively, the sulfonate ester can be displaced with a suitable salt of the azide anion, such as sodium azide, zinc azide, or tetrabutylammonium azide, and the resulting alkyl azide can be reduced to primary amine CIV with hydrogen gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as 5% palladium on carbon. Alternatively, the alkyl azide can be reduced by treatment with triphenyl phosphine followed by hydrolysis to afford CIV. Benzylic amine CIV can then be derivatized with a number of electrophilic reagents, such as alkyl or aryl sulfonyl chlorides, carboxylic acid chlorides, carboxylic acid anhydrides, alkyl chloroformates, carbamyl chlorides or alkyl or aryl isocyanates to provide sulfonamides, carboxamides, ureas, or carbamates CV. These intermediates can then be deprotected under acidic conditions to remove the Boc group to provide free piperazine CVI for use in the coupling reactions described in Scheme I. ##STR37##
Preparation of target pyrrolidines using solid support technology is outlined in Scheme 22. Coupling of intermediate B to a commercially available 4-sulfamylbenzoyl polystyrene resin A (or a alkyl sulfamyl resin) is carried out with di-isopropylcarbodiimide or with other activating agents, for example dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, EDAC, oxalyl chloride, etc. Agents that result in the formation of the symmetrical anhydride from B (which then serves as the acylating agent) are also suitable for this purpose. Removal of the Boc group is carried out with trifluoroacetic acid or other acidic reagents, to give resin-bound pyrrolidine C. This intermediate is then coupled with sulfonyl chlorides or carbonyl chlorides in the presence of a suitable amine, preferably a hindered tertiary amine such as diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), lutidine, DBU, etc., to provide the N-functionalized pyrrolidine D. Alkylation of the acyl sulfonamide nitrogen can be carried out with trimethylsilyldiazomethane, diazomethane, with bromoacetonitrile in the presence of DBU and DMF, or under Mitsunobu conditions with a phenol such as pentafluorophenol. Reaction of the resulting N-alkylated intermediate with an amine NH(Ra)Rb at a temperature between 0 and 140.degree. C., preferably around 50.degree. C., for 4-24 hr, preferably about 14 hr, then cleaves the pyrrolidine from the resin as amide E. Reduction of the newly formed amide (and other amide functionality, if present) with borane methyl sulfide complex (or other hydride reducing agents, such as borane-pyridine, borane-THF, lithium aluminum hydride, lithium di-(sec)butyl borohydride, etc) followed by hydrolysis with dilute hydrogen chloride in methanol at a temperature between 0 and 140.degree. C., preferably around 50.degree.0 C., for 4-24 hr, preferably about 14 hr, provides either sulfonamide F or amine G.
Cyclic amines (compound II) from Scheme 1 which are spirocyclic piperidines are prepared using azacyclic starting materials prepared using methods described in the literature; more specifically, as described in Claremon, D. A. et al, European Patent Publication 0 431 943, Evans, B. E. et al U.S. Pat. No. 5,091,387, Davis, L. et al, U.S. Pat. No. 4,420,485, and Parham et al, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 41, 2628 (1976). None of the compounds in the foregoing references are alleged to be chemokine receptor modulators.
In some cases the order of carrying out the foregoing reaction schemes may be varied to facilitate the reaction or to avoid unwanted reaction products. The following examples are provided for the purpose of further illustration only and are not intended to be limitations on the disclosed invention.

EXAMPLE 220
Preparation of 21.times.19 Combinatorial Library
Commercially available 4-sulfamylbenzoyl polystyrene resin (4.2 g /4.8 mmol), 1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-3-(RS)-carboxy-4-(SR)-phenylpyrrolidine (29 mmol, 6 equiv), diisopropylethylamine (DIEA; 15 mmol, 3 equiv) and DMAP (1.2 mmol, 0.25 equiv) were suspended in 40 mL of 1/1 methylene chloride/THF. Diisopropylcarbodiimide (15 mmol, 3 equiv) was added and the mixture was agitated by rotary stirring overnight. The resin was then washed sequentially with 1/1 methylene chloride/THF, THF and methylene chloride (4.times.40 mL each). The resin was split into 22 equal portions and each was washed with methylene chloride (3.times.5 mL). Each of the 21 pools was treated with 40% TFA/methylene chloride for 30 min then washed with methylene chloride (5.times.5 mL). To each of the 21 pools of resin, 5 mL of a 0.4 M methylene chloride solution in the Y subunit (2 mmol, 5.3 equiv; see structures below) was added followed by DIEA (3 mmol, 8 equiv). The mixtures were shaken and let stand for 30 min. The resin was washed with methylene chloride, THF and 1/1 methylene chloride/THF (4.times.5 mL each). 80 mg of resin from each pool was archived for deconvolution and the remaining resin in the 22 flasks was then combined in 7/3 dichloroethane/DMF and mixed for 2h. The combined resin was split into 19 equal portions and each portion was washed with THF (3.times.1 mL). A solution of trimethylsilyldiazomethane (1.0 M in 1/1 THF/Hexane, 1.5 mL) was added, the mixtures were shaken and let stand for 2 h. The resin in each pool was washed with 1 mL of THF and treated with trimethylsilyldiazomethane as above. The resin was washed with THF, methylene chloride and ether, then dried under nitrogen and transferred to a flask containing the Z subunit (2 equiv; see structures below) in 0.35 mL THF. The suspension was heated to 50.degree. C. overnight. To each of the 19 library pools was added 250 mg of scavenging resin (see below) and the mixtures were let stand overnight. The resin was filtered off and the samples were concentrated. A solution of borane-methylsulfide (0.5 M in dioxane, 0.5 mL) was added and the pools were heated to 50.degree. C. for 3 h. The solvent was removed and the residue was dissolved in 2 mL of 1% HCl/methanol and heated to 50.degree. C. overnight. The solvent was removed and the pools were redissolved in 2 mL of 1% HCl/methanol then concentrated again. This was repeated a second time. The samples were then lyophilized from acetonitrile/water to give the 19 pools indexed by their Z subunits as light brown solids.
Scavenging resin was prepared by reacting commercially available aminomethyl polystyrene (10 grams) with a solution of pentafluorophenyl chlorothionoformate and DIEA (50 mL of 0.5 M in each reagent, in methylene chloride). After 30 min the resin was washed with methylene chloride and treated with a 0.5 M solution of DIEA in DMF. After washing with DMF, THF, methylene chloride and ether (3.times.50 mL each) the scavenging resin was dried under nitrogen. ##STR85##
The compounds in Examples 221 and 222 were prepared from 4-carboxy-3-phenylpiperidine (which can be obtained from N-benzyl-4-carbomethoxy-3-phenyl-piperidine (from Example 101, Step C) by hydrolysis with aqueous sodium hydroxide followed by hydrogenolysis in ethanol with 10% palladium on carbon and hydrogen gas) followed by reaction with cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride to provide 1-cyclohexylcarbonyl-4-carboxy-3-phenylpiperidine. Treatment of the latter compound with the appropriate secondary amine in the presence of EDC followed by reduction of both amides with borane-methyl sulfide then provided the indicated final compounds.
