(b) Information Disclosure Statement
The inhibition of proteolytic enzymes by nontoxic reagents is useful in the treatment of degenerative disorders, such as emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis and pancreatitis, in which proteolysis is a substantive element.
Protease inhibitors are widely utilized in biomedical research. Serine proteases are the most widely distributed class of proteolytic enzymes. Some serine proteases are characterized as chymotrypsin-like or elastase-like based upon their substrate specificity.
Chymotrypsin and chymotrypsin-like enzymes normally cleave peptide bonds in proteins at a site at which the amino acid residue on the carboxyl side is typically Trp, Tyr, Phe, Met, Leu or another amino acid residue which contains aromatic or large alkyl side chains.
Elastase and elastase-like enzymes normally cleave peptide bonds at a site at which the amino acid residue on the carboxyl side of the bond is typically Ala, Val, Ser, Leu or other similar, smaller amino acids.
Both chymotrypsin-like and elastase-like enzymes are found in leukocytes, mast cells and pancreatic juice in higher organisms, and are secreted by many types of bacteria, yeast and parasites.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION INCLUSIVE OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The term lower-alkyl as used herein means linear or branched hydrocarbon chains having one to about five carbon atoms and thus includes methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, 3-methylbutyl; n-pentyl, and the like.
The term halogen, halo, or halide as used herein means chlorine, bromine, iodine, and fluorine.
The term lower-alkoxy as used herein means linear or branched alkyloxy substituents having one to about four carbon atoms and thus includes methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy, sec-butoxy and the like.
The term alkylene as used herein means divalent, saturated radicals, including branched chain radicals, of from two to about five carbon atoms which have their free valences on different carbon atoms and thus includes 1,2-ethylene, 1,3-propylene, 1,4-butylene, 1,5-pentylene, 1-methyl-1,2-ethylene, and the like.
The numbering system used throughout this specification is shown in the ring system which is illustrated below. This ring ##STR12## system is named in the chemical literature as a 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide.
The synthesis of the compounds of the invention may be outlined as shown in Scheme A: ##STR13## A suitably substituted 2-halomethyl-1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide derivative of the formula II, wherein X' is a halogen, preferably chlorine, in a suitable organic solvent, such as dimethylformamide, or toluene, is treated with an excess of a compound of the formula III, in the presence of an excess of a base, i.e. triethylamine, or potassium carbonate, optionally in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tetraalkylammonium halide, preferably tetrabutylammonium bromide, at a temperature in the range of about room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent used, to afford the compounds of the formula I.
Alternatively, the compounds of the Formula I can be prepared by reacting a compound of the Formula II with at least one mole of either a) an alkali metal salt of a compound of the Formula III, i.e. the cesium salt, or b) the thallous salt of a compound of the Formula III, in a suitable organic solvent, such as dimethylformamide, optionally in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tetraalkylammonium halide, preferably tetrabutylammonium bromide, at a temperature in the range of about room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent used.
It will be appreciated that the compounds of the formula I possess an asymmetric carbon at position C-4 of the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide ring and are thus capable of existing as enantiomers. Unless otherwise specified herein, the invention is intended to extend to each of the enantiomeric forms including the racemates. In some cases there may be advantages, i.e. greater potency, to using a particular enantiomer when compared to the other enantiomer or the racemate in the treatment of degenerative diseases and such advantages can be readily determined by those skilled in the art. The separate enantiomers may be synthesized from chiral starting materials or the racemates may be resolved by conventional procedures which are well known in the art of chemistry such as chiral chromatography, fractional crystallization of diastereomeric salts and the like.
The compounds of Formula I are useful both in the free base form and in the form of acid-addition salts, and, both forms are within the purview of the invention. The acid-addition salts are often a more convenient form for use; and in practice, use of the salt form inherently amounts to use of the base form. The acids which can be used to prepare the acid-addition salts include preferably those which produce, when combined with the free base, pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, that is, salts whose anions are relatively innocuous to the animal organism in pharmaceutical doses of the salts, so that the beneficial properties inherent in the free base are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the anions. In practicing the present invention it is convenient to use the free base form or the hydrochloride, fumarate, toluenesulfonate, methanesulfonate or maleate salts. However, other appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention are those derived from other mineral acids and organic acids. The acid-addition salts of the basic compounds are prepared by standard procedures well known in the art which include, but are not limited thereto, dissolving the free base in an aqueous alcohol solution containing the appropriate acid and isolating the salt by evaporating the solution, or by reacting the free base and an acid in an organic solvent, in which case the salt separates directly, or is precipitated with a second organic solvent, or can be obtained by concentration of the solution. Although medicinally acceptable salts of the basic compounds are preferred, all acid-addition salts are within the scope of the present invention. All acid-addition salts are useful as sources of the free base form even if the particular salt per se is desired only as an intermediate product, as, for example, when the salt is formed for purposes of purification or identification, or when it is used as an intermediate in preparing a medicinally acceptable salt by, for example, ion exchange procedures.
The suitably substituted 2-halomethyl-l,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxides of the formula II, which are required for the synthesis of the compounds of the formula I, can be prepared as shown in Scheme B: ##STR14## A suitably substituted 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide of the formula IV, or an ammonium salt thereof, or a cesium salt thereof (prepared by the treatment of a compound of the formula IV in a lower-alkanol solvent, i.e. methanol, with cesium carbonate at a temperature of about room temperature), in a suitable organic solvent, such as toluene, dimethylformamide or a mixture of said solvents, is treated with an excess of a halomethyl phenyl sulfide of the Formula V, wherein X' is a halogen, preferably chlorine, in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tetralower-alkylammonium halide, such as tetrabutylammonium bromide, (note, however, that the use of the tetralower-alkylammonium halide is optional when the cesium salt of the compound of the formula IV is utilized), at a temperature in the range of about room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent or solvent mixture used, preferably at the boiling point of the solvent or solvent mixture used, to afford the compounds of the formula VI. The compound of the formula VI can then be treated with an excess of a sulfuryl halide of the formula SO.sub.2 X'.sub.2, wherein X' is a halogen, preferably chlorine, in a suitable organic solvent, such as methylene chloride, at a temperature in the range of about room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent used, to afford the compounds of the formula II.
Alternatively, the compounds of the Formula II can be prepared directly from the compounds of the Formula IV by treating a compound of the Formula IV, or an alkali metal salt thereof, i.e. the sodium salt, with an excess of paraformaldehyde and an excess of a haloacid in acetic acid, preferably HBr in acetic acid, at a temperature in the range of about room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent mixture used.
The suitably substituted 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxides of the formula IV can be prepared as shown in Scheme C: ##STR15## A suitably substituted compound of the formula VII wherein R is lower-alkyl, in an appropriate lower-alkanol solvent, such as methanol, or ethanol, is treated with an excess of an alkali metal lower-alkoxide; i.e. sodium methoxide, or sodium ethoxide, at a temperature in the range of about room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent used, followed by treatment with a proton source, such as BIO-RAD.RTM. 50W-X8 H.sup.+ ion exchange resin, to afford the compounds of the formula IV.
Alternatively, when the compounds of the formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is lower-alkyl are desired, one can proceed as illustrated in Scheme D: ##STR16## A compound of the formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen, is treated with an excess of a benzyl halide of the formula VIII, wherein X' is a halogen, preferably bromine, in a suitable organic solvent, i.e. toluene, dimethylformamide, or a mixture thereof, in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tetralower-alkylammonium halide, preferably tetrabutylammonium bromide, at a temperature in the range of about room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent, or solvent mixture used, to afford the compounds of the formula IX. The compounds of the formula IX can then be treated with an excess of an alkylating agent (R.sup.3 X') of the formula X, wherein R.sup.3 is lower-alkyl and X' is a halogen, preferably iodine, in a suitable organic solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of at least one mole of a base, such as potassium tertbutoxide, at a temperature in the range of about 0.degree. C. up to the boiling point of the solvent used, preferably at a temperature in the range of about 0.degree. C. up to about room temperature, to afford a compound of the formula XI. The compound of the formula XI can then be debenzylated by treatment with an excess of an appropriate hydrogen donor, preferably ammonium formate, in the presence of an appropriate catalyst, preferably palladium on carbon, in a suitable lower-alkanol solvent, such as methanol, at a temperature in the range of about room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent used, preferably at a temperature of about room temperature, to afford the compounds of the formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is lower-alkyl.
The compounds of the formula VII, which are required for the synthesis of the compounds of the formula IV, can be prepared as illustrated in Scheme E: ##STR17## A halosulfonyl isocyanate of the formula XII, wherein X is a halogen, preferably chlorine, is treated with an excess of an .alpha.-amino acid ester of the formula XIII, wherein R is lower-alkyl and X.sup.- is a halogen, preferably chlorine, and an excess of benzyl alcohol, in the presence of an excess of a base, such as triethylamine, in an appropriate organic solvent, such as methylene chloride, at a temperature in the range of about -10.degree. C. up to about room temperature, to afford a compound of the formula XIV (Note, if desired, the .alpha.-amino acid ester can be used as the limiting reagent rather than the halosulfonyl isocyanate). The compound of the formula XIV can then be hydrogenated at a hydrogen pressure of about 50-60 psi, in a lower-alkanol solvent, such as methanol, or ethanol, in the presence of a catalyst, preferably palladium on carbon, to produce the compounds of the formula VII.
The compounds of the formula III are either commercially available, or they can be prepared by procedures known in the art (see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,306,818 and 5,128,339 which are incorporated herein by reference), or by the procedures described hereinbelow in the examples. The halomethyl phenyl sulfides of the formula V, the benzyl halides of the formula VIII, the alkylating agents (R.sub.3 X') of the formula X, halosulfonyl isocyanates of the formula XII and the .alpha.-amino acid esters of the formula XIII are either commercially available, or they can be prepared by procedures known in the art, or by the procedures described hereinbelow in the examples.
The structures of the compounds of the invention were established by the mode of synthesis, and by one or more of elemental analysis, and infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. The course of the reactions and the identity and homogeneity of the products were assessed by one or more of thin layer chromatography (TLC), high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), or gas-liquid chromatography (GLC).

Biological Test Results
Representative examples of the compounds of the invention have been found to possess valuable pharmacological properties. In particular, they have been found to inhibit the activity of serine proteases, specifically human leukocyte elastase, and are thus useful in the treatment of degenerative disease conditions such as emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, bullous pemphigoid, periodontal disease, and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.
The pharmacological properties of representative examples of the compounds of the invention were demonstrated by the following conventional in vitro biological test procedure.
The test compound (inhibitor) is dissolved in DMSO in a vial to produce an inhibitor stock solution which has a concentration in the range of 200-1000 .mu.M. The inhibitor stock solution is diluted (1:4, 1:16 and 1:64) into assay vials (vials 1, 2 and 3 respectively) containing 2.4 mL of buffer solution (50 mM N- [2-hydroxyethyl ] piperazine-N'-[2-ethanesulfonic acid]/NaOH, 500 mM NaCl, pH 7.8 at 25.degree. C.) and DMSO is added so that the total volume in each vial is 3.2 mL. 70 .mu.L, 50 .mu.L, 35 .mu.L and 25 .mu.L of inhibitor from assay vial 1 is placed into the first four wells of a 96-well microtiter plate and each well is made up to 90 .mu.L total volume with the addition of a 25% DMSO/buffer solution. The inhibitor from assay vials 2 and 3 is processed in a similar manner and placed in wells 5-12 respectively to afford a total of 12 different inhibitor concentrations. Four wells (wells 13-16) containing 90 .mu.L of the 25% DMSO/buffer solution but no inhibitor are also run simultaneously with the inhibited wells as a control. 150 .mu.L of substrate solution (prepared by the addition of 500 .mu.L of the human leukocyte elastase (HLE) substrate MeOSuc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-pNA (18.7 mM in DMSO) to 19.5 mL of buffer solution) is then added simultaneously into each of the 16 wells and the solution in each well was thoroughly mixed.
The 96-well microtiter plate is placed into a Microplate Reader #89815A spectrophotometer and 110 .mu.L of the enzyme solution (prepared as follows: a mixture of 20 mL of buffer solution and 20 mg of bovine serum albumen is gently vortexed in a scintillation vial and 5 .mu.L HLE stock solution (1 mg/mL dissolved in deionized water) is added) is added simultaneously to each of the 16 wells. Each of the solutions in the wells is throughly mixed and then the time-dependent absorbance data is collected at an absorbance of 410 nM until the assay is complete. It should be noted that although this assay method can be done manually, it is preferred to perform the assay robotically using a Hewlett Packard MicroAssay System Robot.
A plot of the absorbance versus time data thus obtained affords progress curves the final slope of which is equal to the final steady-state velocities (VF). Using the program ENZFITTER (Elsevier software), the progress curves for the four control assays ([I]=0) are fit by linear regression to yield the enzyme reaction velocity values in the absences of inhibitor (V.sub.o) which are averaged to produce a single fixed value. The inhibition constant K.sub.i (nM) is then obtained from a plot of ##EQU1## which affords a linear plot wherein: ##EQU2## and [S] is the concentration of the substrate and K.sub.m is the Michaelis constant.
Table II summarizes the results obtained from the testing of representative compounds of the invention for human leukocyte elastase inhibitory activity.
