Renin inhibitors III

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Renin is a natural enzyme which is released into the blood from the kidney. It cleaves its natural substrate, angiotensinogen, releasing decapeptide, angiotensin I. This is in turn cleaved by converting enzyme in the lung, kidney and other tissues to an octapeptide, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II raises blood pressure both directly by causing arteriolar constriction and indirectly by stimulating release of the sodium-retaining hormone aldosterone from the adrenal gland causing a rise in extracellular fluid volume. Inhibitors of renins have been sought as an agent for control of hypertension and hyperaldosteronism.
The present invention concerns novel peptides which inhibit renin. It also concerns pharmaceutical compositions containing these novel peptides, methods of treating renin-associated hypertension, hyperaldosteronism, and congestive heart failure, as well as the use of the peptides as diagnostic tools, and the methods for preparing the peptides.

The compounds of the present invention include solvates, hydrates and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the basic compounds of formula I above.
The term pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt is intended to mean a relatively nontoxic acid addition salt either from inorganic or organic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, benzoic, gluconic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, tartaric, methanesulfonic and the like. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce a salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt form with a base.
The modified peptides of the present invention possess one or more chiral centers and each center may exist in the R(D) or S(L) configuration. The present invention includes all enantiomeric and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof.
Some of the above novel peptides may be prepared in accordance with well-known procedures for preparing peptides from their constituent amino acids. Other of the novel peptides of the present invention are prepared by a step-wise procedure or by a fragment coupling procedure depending upon the particular final product desired.
The following schemes illustrate novel methods of preparing certain peptides of the present invention. ##STR28##
According to Scheme I above, a BOC-protected, NH-substituted-1-alkene (1), for example, an allyl amine is reacted with an epoxidizing agent to form the corresponding protected epoxide (2). The epoxide is reacted with a mercaptan forming a protected thioether (3). The thioether is then reacted with HCl to remove the protecting group forming the corresponding compound (4) with a free amino terminus. The amine is reacted with an amino acid or a peptide, having a free terminal carboxylic acid, for example, DNMA-HIS(TRT)-STA, to form the corresponding peptide having a thio-containing amide moiety (5) which is then reacted with aqueous acetic acid to remove the TRT group forming the desired compound (6), of formula I of the instant invention. This may be converted, if desired, to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt.
Epoxidizing agents useful in the reaction are m-chloroperbenzoic acid, perbenzoic acid, and perphthalic acid. The preferred agent is m-chloroperbenzoic acid.
The reaction takes place in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, dioxane, or ethyl acetate. The preferred solvent is methylene chloride.
Among the mercaptans possible in this sequence are any of the alkyl mercaptans, aralkyl mercaptans, or aryl mercaptans. The preferred mercaptan is isopropyl mercaptan.
The protecting group is removed with a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic, HCl, or HBr. Preferably HCl is used.
Removal of TRT is accomplished with aqueous acetic acid, dilute HCl, or dilute H.sub.2 SO.sub.4. Preferably this is done with aqueous acetic acid.
The epoxidation reaction is mildly exothermic and can be carried out at temperatures between 0.degree. and 25.degree. C. The preferred reaction temperature is about room temperature.
The reaction time varies from 4 to 48 hours. Preferably it is about 24 hours.
The term protecting group refers to those groups intended to protect the N-terminus against undesirable reactions during synthetic procedures or to increase the solubility of the desired final compounds and includes but is not limited to Z and BOC.
The term lower alkyl refers to straight or branched chain alkyl radicals containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms including but not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, 2-methylhexyl, n-pentyl, 1-methylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 2-methylpentyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, n-hexyl and the like. ##STR29##
Alternatively certain compounds of the present invention having a sulfone linkage can be made according to Scheme II above. The thioether (3) of Scheme I is oxidized to form the corresponding sulfone by reaction with a peracid. The protected sulfones of (4) above are reacted with HCl to produce compounds with the free amino terminus (5). These compounds are reacted with DNMA-HIS(TRT)-STA to form a sulfone-containing peptide (6). This is reacted with aqueous acetic acid to form peptides (7) of formula I of the instant invention. These can be converted to the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt.
The strategy of peptide chain assembly and selection and removal of protecting groups is discussed in Chapter 1, "The Peptide Bond," in "The Peptides. Analysis, Synthesis, Biology," E. Gross and J. Meienhofer, Eds., Academic Press, New York, NY, 1979, Vol. 1, pp. 42-44.
The DCC/HOBT method of coupling is well known to those skilled in the art and is discussed in Chapter 5, "The Carbodiimide Method" by D. H. Rich and J. Singh in "The Peptides. Analysis, Synthesis, Biology," E. Gross and J. Meienhofer, Eds., Academic Press, New York, NY, 1979, Vol. 1, pp. 241-261.
Peptide coupling depends on activating the carboxyl group of the protected amino acid prior to condensing it with another peptide containing a free amino terminus. In addition to the DCC coupling method described above, other methods of activating the carboxyl group of a protected amino acid include:
(1) The azide method--described in Chapter 4 of the above reference.
(2) The mixed anhydride method--described in Chapter 6 of the above reference.
(3) The active ester method--described in Chapter 3 of the above reference.
The compounds of the present invention are useful for treating renin-associated hypertension, congestive heart failure, and hyperaldosteronism. They are also useful as diagnostic tools for determining the presence of renin-associated hypertension or hyperaldosteronism.
Pharmaceutical compositions which comprise an effective amount of the compound in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are part of the present invention. An important aspect of the present invention is a method of treating renin associated hypertension in a mammal which comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of a compound of the invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the mammal.
Another equally important aspect of the present invention is a method of treating hyperaldosteronism in a mammal which comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of a compound of the invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the mammal.
Still another important aspect of the present invention is a method of treating congestive heart failure in a mammal which comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of a compound of the invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the mammal.
The effectiveness of the aforementioned compound is determined by a test for in vitro renin inhibitory activity. This activity is determined by a standard radioimmunoassay for angiotensin I. In this assay the enzyme, renin, incubated for two hours at 37.degree. in the presence of a substrate, angiotensinogen, generates the product, angiotensin I. Test compounds are added to the incubation mixture. Relative activity is reported as the IC.sub.50, which is the molar concentration of test compound causing a 50% inhibition of the renin activity.

The effectiveness of the aforementioned compounds in vivo is determined by their effect on lowering renin maintained blood pressure in the anesthetized, vagotomized, ganglionic-blocked rat.
After the blood pressure has stabilized, 1.25 mg/kg IV mecamylamine is added to produce ganglionic blockade. Hog renin is then infused to bring the blood pressure to a level observed before vagotomy and ganglionic blockade. Test compound is then administered IV and the drop in blood pressure is noted.

For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders or tablet disintegrating agents. It can also be encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound. In the tablet the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 to 10 to about 70 percent of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.
The compounds of the present invention may be administered orally, buccally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, rectally or topically in dosage unit formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles as desired. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection or infusion techniques.
For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter is first melted, and the active ingredient is dispersed homogeneously therein by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool, and thereby solidify.
Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water/propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethyleneglycol solution. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and other well-known suspending agents.
Also included are solid form preparations which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for either oral or parenteral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. These particular solid form preparations are most conveniently provided in unit dose form and as such are used to provide a single liquid dosage unit. Alternately, sufficient solid may be provided so that after conversion to liquid form, multiple individual liquid doses may be obtained by measuring predetermined volumes of the liquid form preparation as with a syringe, teaspoon, or other volumetric container. When multiple liquid doses are so prepared, it is preferred to maintain the unused portion of said liquid doses at low temperature (i.e., under refrigeration) in order to retard possible decomposition. The solid form preparations intended to be converted to liquid form may contain, in addition to the active material, flavorants, colorants, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like. The liquid utilized for preparing the liquid form preparation may be water, isotonic water, ethanol, glycerin, propylene glycol, and the like, as well as mixtures thereof. Naturally, the liquid utilized will be chosen with regard to the route of administration, for example, liquid preparations containing large amounts of ethanol are not suitable for parenteral use.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form.
The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from 1 mg to 500 mg, preferably 5 to 100 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active ingredient. The compositions can, if desired, also contain other compatible therapeutic agents.
In therapeutic use as renin inhibitors, the mammalian dosage range for a 70 kg subject is from 1 to 1500 mg of body weight per day or preferably 25 to 750 mg of body weight per day optionally in divided portions. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired.
The following Examples are provided to enable one skilled in the art to practice the present invention. These examples are not intended in any way to limit the scope of the invention but are illustrative thereof.

The mixture was stirred and allowed to warm to room temperature over a fifteen hour period. It was then filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and diluted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed twice with saturated NaHCO.sub.3, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product. Chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a gradient of 0-2% MeOH in CHCl.sub.3 gave 2.80 g of the product. The structure was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy.
INTERMEDIATE FOR EXAMPLES 22 AND 23 ##STR111##
To a cold solution of 1.63 g (1.86 mmole) of DNMA-HIS(TRT)-STA, 260 mg (1.95 mmole) of HOBT, and 0.5 g (1.86 mmole) of ##STR112## in 50 ml DMF was added 0.4 g (1.95 mmole) of DCC and the solution stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was then filtered and the solvent removed under high vacuum. The residue was taken up in EtOAc and washed with 1N citric acid, saturated NaCl, saturated NaHCO.sub.3, and saturated NaCl. Drying and removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave the crude product. Chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a gradient of 0-5% MeOH in CHCl.sub.3 gave 1.87 g of the product as a white foam.
INTERMEDIATES FOR EXAMPLE 24
BOC-STA-NHCH.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2
To a solution of 27.5 g (100 mmole) BOC-STA and 14.2 g (105 mmole) HOBT in 40 ml DMF was added 350 ml CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 followed by cooling to -5.degree.. 7.5 ml (100 mmole) allylamine, and 21.7 g (105 mmole) DCC were added, and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The mixture was filtered, and the solvent removed under high vacuum and the residue was taken up in EtOAc. The solution was washed with saturated NaCl, saturated NaHCO.sub.3, saturated NaCl, 1N citric acid, and saturated NaCl. After drying, the solution was evaporated to one-half volume and the product was isolated by addition of hexane to the solution, giving a crystalline solid, 28.9 g. The structure was confirmed by NMR and mass spectroscopy.
STA-NHCH.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2
To a solution of 28.6 g (91 mmole) of BOC-STA-NHCH.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 in 100 ml CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 was added 125 ml TFA and the solution stirred at room temperature for six hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue taken up in EtOAc and washed with saturated NaCl which had been adjusted to pH 12 with 5N NaOH, then with saturated NaCl. Drying and removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave 21.07 g of the product as an oil of sufficient purity for use in the following reaction.
BOC-HIS-STA-NHCH.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2
A solution of 23.23 g (0.091 mole) of BOC-HIS, 12.9 g (0.095 mole) of HOBT, and 19.5 g (0.091 mole) of STA-NHCH.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 in 300 ml DMF was cooled in ice and 19.7 g (0.095 mole) of DCC added. The solution was then allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The mixture was filtered and the solvent removed under high vacuum. The residue was taken up in EtOAc and washed with 1N citric acid. The citric acid wash was made basic with sodium carbonate solution and extracted with EtOAc. The EtOAc was washed with saturated NaCl, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrate was poured into excess Et.sub.2 O precipitating 26.5 g of a white solid. Since thin layer suggested the presence of appreciable material acylated on the imidazole portion of the product by additional BOC-HIS, the 26.5 g was dissolved in 250 ml MeOH and treated with 2.8 g of 50% NaOH. The solution was stirred for two hours at room temperature, the pH adjusted to 7.0 with dilute HCl, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in CHCl.sub.3 and washed with saturated NaHCO.sub.3 and saturated NaCl. After drying the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and poured into excess Et.sub.2 O. The precipitate was collected to give 17.6 g of product. The structure was confirmed by NMR and mass spectroscopy.
HIS-STA-NHCH.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2
A solution of 12.5 g (27.7 mmole) of BOC-HIS-STA-NHCH.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 in 50 ml CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 was treated with 50 ml TFA and stirred at room temperature for one hour. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure and the residue mixed with H.sub.2 O and the pH adjusted to 13 with 5N NaOH. This was extracted with EtOAc, then CHCl.sub.3. The organic phases were combined and washed with saturated NaCl, dried, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in EtOAc and precipitated by adding to excess Et.sub.2 O. Since the solid still contained sodium trifluoroacetate, it was taken up in H.sub.2 O and repeatedly extracted with EtOAc. The EtOAc extracts were dried and the solvent removed under reduced pressure giving 7.08 g of product, sufficiently pure for use in the next reaction.
