Substituted dibenzothiophenes having antiangiogenic activity

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel substituted dibenzothiophenes of Formulae (I), (II), (III) and (IV) which have antiangiogenic activity for treating or inhibiting abnormal angiogenic growth, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, novel processes for preparing them, and novel intermediates.
This invention further relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating or inhibiting abnormal angiogenic growth using tricyclic substituted dibenzothiophenes of Formula (V).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Normal angiogenesis is required in many physiological conditions such as wound healing, female reproduction, and fetal development. Abnormal or pathological angiogenesis has been implicated in neoplastic diseases including solid tumor growth, metastasis, and Kaposi's sarcoma; various eye diseases including diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration; inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis; skin diseases including psoriasis, eczema, and scleroderma; as well as ulcerative colitis and childhood haemangiomas (Toi et. al., 1995, Breast Cancer Res. and Treat., 192-204; Holmgren et. al., 1995, Nature Medicine, 149-153; Folkman, 1995, Nature Medicine, 27-31; Jackson et. al., 1997, FASEB J., 457-465). Several growth factors have been implicated in the angiogenesis process including basic and acidic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF and aFGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)(Seed, 1996, Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs, 1617-1637; Colville-Nash et. al., 1997, Mol. Med. Today, 14-23).
VEGF receptors are localized to endothelial cells in contrast to the other growth factors described above. In addition, VEGF has the unique ability to induce vascular permeability (VEGF was first described as vascular permeability factor) as well as serve as a survival factor for newly developed blood vessels (Yaun et. al., 1996, 14765-14770, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci). These properties, in addition to its mitogenic effects, makes VEGF a critical target in pathological diseases that require neovascularization. Inhibition of VEGF function has been shown to inhibit disease progression in tumors (Borgstrom et. al., Cancer Res., 1996, 4032-4039; Kim, et. al., 1993, Nature, 841-844) and retinal neovascularization (Aiello et. al., 1995, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., 10457-10461) as well as vascular dysfunction mediated by glucose in models of diabetes (Tilton et. al., 1997, J. Clin. Invest., 2192-2202).
VEGF is produced in cells in a number of isoforms including, VEGF205, VEGF189, VEGF165, and VEGF121, of which VEGF165 and VEGF121 are normally seen in the serum. The receptors for VEGF (e.g., KDR and Flt-1 are expressed on endothelial cells and interaction of the ligand, VEGF, and the receptors is responsible for the effects described above. Interruption of VEGF binding to its receptors, via antibodies or small molecules, would be an effective therapy for the treatment of diseases mediated by aberrant angiogenesis.

Referring to the process of Scheme I, 3,7-diaminodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 7 where R.sup.3 is a straight chain alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, branched chain alkyl of 3 to 5 carbon atoms or benzyl is formed as the primary product and 3-amino-7-chloro-dibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 8 where R.sup.3 is hereinbefore defined is formed as a minor product when starting with 2,8-dibromodibenzothiophene 2.
Again, referring to Scheme I, modifying a procedure as described (E. Campaigne and John Ashby, J. Het. Chem. 517-521, August 1969 on page 521) dibenzothiophene 1 was treated with bromine in carbon disulfide to afford 2,8-dibromo-dibenzothiophene 2. Reaction of 2,8-dibromo-dibenzothiophene 2 with >90% nitric acid at 50-60.degree. C. gave as the major product 2,8-dibromo-3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-5-oxide 3a. A mixture of 2,8-dibromo-3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-5-oxide 3a in 1:1 dimethylacetamide (DMAC)/dioxane was treated with copper (I) cyanide (Cu(I)CN) for about 10 hours at 50-150.degree. C. followed by further treatment with ferric chloride/concentrated hydrochloric acid to yield as the major product 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarbonitrile 4a. Further treatment of 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarbonitrile 4a with glacial acetic acid, hydrobromic acid and water at 50-100.degree. C. followed by treatment with sodium hydroxide at 50-100.degree. C. for 0.5 to 3 hours followed by acidification to a pH of 1 to 5 affords as the major product 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophen-2,8-dicarboxylic acid 5a. Reaction of 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid 5a with an excess of halogenating agent which include but are not limited to thionyl chloride, thionyl chloride in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), oxalyl chloride, selenium tetrafluoride, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus tribromide or pentabromide and the like at reflux under anhydrous conditions in the presence of an anhydrous polar organic solvent which include but are not limited to p-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, methyl alcohol, chloroform followed by further treatment with 1-100 equivalents of an alkylamine base, which include but are not limited to triethylamine, N,N-diethylmethylamine, N,N-diethylaniline, N,N-diethylethylenediamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, or pyridine and the like in an alcohol, R.sup.3 OH, where R.sup.3 is straight chain alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, branched chain alkyl of 3 to 5 carbon atoms or benzyl which include but are not limited to methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl or benzyl alcohol, stirred at a temperature range from 0-75.degree. C. for about 1 to 100 hours to give as the major product 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 6a where R.sup.3 is hereinbefore defined. A heterogeneous mixture containing major product 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 6a was treated with a reducing agent which include but are not limited to powdered iron, tin(II) chloride, zinc metal or palladium on charcoal with hydrogen in alcoholic solvents which include but are not limited to methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol or 2-methoxyethanol and the like and an organic acid which include but are not limited to acetic acid at a temperature range from 50-120.degree.

While not wishing to be bound by theory and once again referring to Scheme I, it is contemplated that 3-amino-7-chlorodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 8 where R.sup.3 is hereinbefore defined is also formed during the process of Scheme I through the sequence of steps starting with reaction of 2,8-dibromodibenzothiophene 2 with >90% nitric acid at 50-60.degree. C. which gave 2,8-dibromo-3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-5-oxide 3a as the primary product and which also contains a minor product 2,8-dibromo-3-nitrodibenzothiophene-5-oxide 3b. A mixture of 2,8-dibromo-3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophen-5-oxide 3a containing minor product 2,8-dibromo-3-nitrodibenzothiophene-5-oxide 3b in 1:1 DMAC/dioxane was treated with copper (I) cyanide (Cu(I)CN) for about 10 hours at 50-150.degree. C. followed by further treatment with ferric chloride/concentrated hydrochloric acid to yield 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarbonitrile 4a as the primary product containing a minor product 3-chloro-7-nitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarbonitrile 4b. Further treatment of 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarbonitrile 4a containing minor product 3-chloro-7-nitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarbonitrile 4b with glacial acetic acid, hydrobromic acid and water at 50-100.degree. C. followed by treatment with sodium hydroxide at 50-100.degree. C. for 0.5 to 3 hours followed by acidification to a pH of 1 to 5 affords 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid 5a as the primary product containing minor product 3-chloro-7-nitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid 5b. Reaction of 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid 5a containing minor product 3-chloro-7-nitrodibenzothiophen-2,8-dicarboxylic acid 5b with an excess of an acid chloride producing agent which include but are not limited to thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride, selenium tetrafluoride, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus tribromide or pentabromide and the like; at reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, under anhydrous conditions, in the presence of an anhydrous polar organic solvent which include but are not limited to p-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, methyl alcohol, chloroform and the like; followed by further treatment with 1-100 equivalents of an alkylamine base which include but are not limited to triethylamine, N,N-diethylmethylamine, N,N-diethyl-aniline, N,N-diethylethylenediamine, N,N-diisopropyl-ethylamine, or pyridine and the like; in an alcohol, R.sup.3 OH, where R.sup.3 is a straight chain alkyl of 1 to carbon atoms, branched chain alkyl of 3 to 5 carbon atoms or benzyl which include but are not limited to methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl or benzyl alcohol; stirred at a temperature range from 0-75.degree. C. for about 1 to 100 hours to give the major product 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 6a and a minor product 3-chloro-7-nitrodibenzothiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 6b where R.sup.3 is hereinbefore defined. A heterogeneous mixture of 3,7-dinitrodibenzothiophen-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 6a containing minor product 3-chloro-7-nitrodibenzo-thiophene-2,8-dicarboxylic acid diester 6b was treated with a reducing agent which include but are not limited to powdered iron, tin(II) chloride, zinc metal or palladium on charcoal with hydrogen in alcoholic solvents which include but are not limited to methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol or 2-methoxy-ethanol and the like; and an organic acid which include but are not limited to acetic acid; at a temperature range from 50-120.degree.

The preparation of the compounds of this invention described by Formula (V) are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,573,652, 2,580,234, 2,911,415, 2,937,089, 2,961,318, 3,226,247, and 3,257,324 which are incorporated herein by reference.
Reactions are performed in a solvent appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and suitable for the transformation being effected. It is understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the various functionalities present on the molecule must be consistent with the chemical transformations proposed. This may necessitate judgement as to the order of synthetic steps, protecting groups, if required, and deprotection conditions. Substituents on the starting materials may be incompatible with some of the reaction conditions. Such restrictions to the substituents which are compatible with the reaction conditions will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
Some of the compounds of the hereinbefore described schemes have centers of asymmetry. The compounds may, therefore, exist in at least two and often more stereoisomeric forms. The present invention encompasses all stereoisomers of the compounds whether free from other stereoisomers or admixed with other stereoisomers in any proportion and thus includes, for instance, raicemic mixture of enantiomers as well as the diastereomeric mixture of isomers. The absolute configuration of any compound may be determined by conventional X-ray crystallography.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a series of compounds of Formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V) or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as defined hereinbefore for use in a method of treatment of human or animal disease.
Compounds of the present invention inhibit the binding of VEGF-165 to the receptor tyrosine kinase KDR and Flt-1 and are therefore of interest for their antiangiogenic effects and/or their ability to reduce vascular permeability.
Thus according to this aspect of this invention there is provided the use of compounds of the Formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V), or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in the manufacturing of a medicament for use in the production of an antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human.
The compounds of this invention may be formulated neat or may be combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for ED administration. For example, solvents, diluents and the like; and may be administered orally in such forms as tablets, capsules, dispersible powders, granules, or suspensions containing, for example, from about 0.05 to 5% of suspending agent, syrups containing, for example, from about 10 to 50% of sugar, and elixirs containing, for example, from about 20 to 50% ethanol, and the like, or parenterally in the form of sterile injectable solutions or suspension containing from about 0.05 to 5% suspending agent in an isotonic medium. Such pharmaceutical preparations may contain, for example, from about 0.05 up to about 90% of the active ingredient in combination with the carrier, more usually between about 5% and 60% by weight.
The effective dosage of active ingredient employed may vary depending on the particular compound employed, the mode of administration and the severity of the condition being treated. However, in general, satisfactory results are obtained when the compounds of the invention are administered at a daily dosage of from about 0.5 to about 1000 mg/kg of animal body weight, optionally given in divided doses two to four times a day, or in sustained release form. For most large mammals the total daily dosage is from about 1 to 1000 mg, preferably from about 2 to 500 mg. Dosage forms suitable for internal use comprise from about 0.5 to 1000 mg of the active compound in intimate admixture with a solid or liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation.
The compounds of this invention may be administered orally as well as by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, sucrose and kaolin, while liquid carriers include sterile water, polyethylene glycols, non-ionic surfactants and edible oils such as corn, peanut and sesame oils, as are appropriate to the nature of the active ingredient and the particular form of administration desired. Adjuvants customarily employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions may be advantageously included, such as flavoring agents, coloring agents, preserving agents, and antioxidants, for example, vitamin E, ascorbic acid, BHT and BHA.
The preferred pharmaceutical compositions from the standpoint of ease of preparation and administration are solid compositions, particularly tablets and hard-filled or liquid-filled capsules. Oral administration of the compounds is preferred.
In some cases it may be desirable to administer the compounds directly to the airways in the form of an aerosol.
The compounds of this invention may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds as a free base or pharmacologically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxy-propylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.
The antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing treatment defined hereinbefore may be applied as a sole therapy or may involve, in addition to a compound of the invention, one or more other substances and/or treatments. Such conjoint treatments may be achieved by way of the simultaneous, sequential or separate administration of the individual components of treatment. In the field of medical oncology it is normal practice to use a combination of therapies to treat a cancer patient. In medicinal oncology the other component(s) of such conjoint treatment defined hereinbefore may be: surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Such chemotherapy may cover three main categories of therapeutic agents:
(I) other anti-angiogenic agents of different mechanisms of action from those defined hereinbefore (for example linomide, inhibitors of integrin .alpha..nu..beta.3 function, inhibitors of MMP-9, inhibitors of methionine peptidase -1 function, angiostatin, endostatin, razoxin, thalidomide):
(II) cytostatic agents such as antiestrogens (tamoxifen, toremifene, raloxifene, droloxifene, iodoxyfene), progestogens (for example megestrol acetate), aromatase inhibitors (for example anastrozole, letrazole, vorazole, exemestance), antiprogestrogens, antiandrogens (for example flutamide, nilutamide, bicalutamine, cyproterone acetate), LHRH agonists and antagonists (for example goserelin acetate, luprolide), inhibitors of testosterone 5.alpha.-dihydroreductase (for example finasteride), anti-invation agents (for example metalloproteinase inhibitors like marimastat and inhibitors of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor function) and inhibitors of growth factor function, (such growth factors include for example EGF, FGFs, platelet derived growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor such inhibitors include growth factor antibodies, growth factor receptor antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and serine/theonine kinase inhibitors); and
(III) antiproliferative/antineoplastic drugs and combinations thereof, as used in medical oncology, such as antimetabolites (for example antifolates like methotrexate, fluoropyrimidines like 5-fluorouracil, purine and adenosine analogs, cytosine arabinoside); antitumor antibiotics (for example anthracyclines like doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin and idarubicin, mitomycin C, dactinomycin, mithramycin, mitoxantrone); platinum derivatives (for example cisplatin, carboplatin); alkylating agents (for example nitrogen mustard, melphalan, chlorambucil, busulphan, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, nitro-soureas, and thiotepa); antimitotic agents (for example vinca alkaloids like vincristine and taxoids like taxol, taxotere); topoisomerase inhibitors (for example epipodophyllotoxins like etoposide and teniposide, amsacrine, and topotecan).
As stated above the compounds of the present invention are of interest for their antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing effects. Such compounds of the invention are expected to be useful in a wide range of disease states including fibroplasia, hemangiomas, angiofibromas, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, Karposi's sarcoma, acute and chronic nephropathies, atheroma, arterial restenosis, autoimmune diseases, acute inflammation and inhibiting and/or reversing ocular neovascularization of the eye in ophthalmic conditions such as corneal transplant rejection, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, various infectious conditions (for example Herpes and CMV) and neovascularization associated with age-related macular degeneration disease. In particular such compounds of the invention are expected to slow advantageously the growth of primary and recurrent solid tumors of, for example, the colon, breast, prostate, lungs and skin. More particularly such compounds of the invention are expected to inhibit the growth of those primary and recurrent solid tumors which are associated with VEGF, especially those tumors which are significantly dependent on VEGF for their growth and spread, including for example, certain tumors of the colon, breast, prostate, lung, vulva and skin.
In addition to their use in therapeutic medicine, the compounds of the Formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also useful as pharmacological tools in the development and standardization of test systems for the evaluation of the effects of inhibitors of VEGF binding to its receptors in laboratory animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, monkeys, rats and mice as part of the search of new therapeutic agents.
The compounds of this invention and their preparation are illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.

Inhibition of Binding of VEGF 165 to KDR & Flt-1 Receptors as Measured by SPA Assay
1. Preparation of conditioned media containing the KDR-Fc soluble VEGF receptor.:
Human 293KDR2 cells, which secrete a soluble KDR-Fc fusion protein, were grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM glutamine, 10 units/ml penicillin G sulfate, 10 .mu.g/ml streptomycin sulfate and 175 .mu.g/ml geneticin (G418) sulfate. Cells were plated at a density of 106 cells/100 mm dish and incubated at 37.degree. C. in a humidified atmosphere containing 95% air and 5% CO.sub.2. After 10 days, conditioned medium was collected and centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 15 min to remove dead cells. A total of 0.1 volume of 1.15% gelatin and 0.02 volume of 1M HEPES buffer (pH 8) was added. Leupeptin and pepstatin A were added to 1 .mu.g/ml each.
2. Preparation of soluble Flt-1 receptor:
Recombinant human Flt-1-Fc soluble receptor was purchased from R&D Systems, Minneapolis Minn. The soluble receptor was diluted to a concentration of 10 ng/25 .mu.l in DMEM supplemented with gelatin (0.15%) and HEPES buffer (20 mM).
3. Preparation of .sup.125 I-labelled VEGF ligand:
Recombinant human .sup.125 T-labelled VEGF 165 was purchased from Amersham (3,800 cpm/fmol). .sup.125,-labelled VEGF was diluted in DMEM supplemented with gelatin (0.15%) and HEPES buffer (20 mM) to a final concentration of 40,000 cpm/25 .mu.l.
4. Preparation of SPA beads:
SPA PVT antibody-binding beads were purchased from Amersham. Each bottle of SPA beads (500 mg) was reconstituted in 25 ml of DMEM supplemented with gelatin (0.15%) and HEPES buffer (20 mM). The bottle contents were well mixed (15 min with a stir bar at room temperature).
5. Setting up SPA assay:
SPA assays were performed in flat-bottom polystyrene 96 well microtitre plates.
Representative assay:
(a) Pipette 50 .mu.l of SPA beads to well.
(b) Pipette 25 .mu.l of conditioned medium to well.
(c) Pipette 10 .mu.l of test compound to well (stock 100 .mu.g/ml solution in DMSO) to give a final drug concentration of 10 .mu.g/ml.
(d) Pipette 25 .mu.l of .sup.125 J-VEGF 165 to well.
The appropriate control wells were set up to measure non-specific binding, solvent effect, etc. The assays were run in duplicate or triplicate wells. Plates were sealed and incubate at room temperature without shaking for 5 to 20 hours. Plates were then counted in a Packard TopCount microtitre plate liquid scintillation counter. The affinity constant for VEGF binding to the soluble KDR-Fc receptor is approximately 100 pM.
Analysis of Results:
A typical assay gave 3,000 to 6,000 cpm bound. Background binding (measured in the presence of 100-fold molar excess of unlabelled VEGF 165) was typically 200 to 300 cpm bound. Compounds were tested at 30, 10, 3, 1, 0.3 and 0.1 .mu.g/ml in DMSO. The IC.sub.50 values of test compounds were defined as the compound concentration that gave the half maximal binding. Half maximal binding was determined by the following equation:
x=b+[(s-b)/2]
where
x=half maximal binding,
b=background binding and
s=maximal cpm bound in the absence of compound.
The IC.sub.50 values were determined graphically by the following procedure:
1. A graph was drawn plotting compound concentration (x-axis) versus cpm bound (y-axis).
2. The half maximal binding was calculated using the equation above.
3. A horizontal line (LINE A) was drawn which intersects the y-axis at the half maximal binding value.
4. A vertical line (LINE B) was drawn through the point where LINE A intersects the inhibition curve.
5. The point where LINE B intersects the x-axis was extrapolated from the graph to give the IC.sub.50 value.
An active compound is designated as an agent which can inhibit the binding of VEGF 165 to the KDR or Flt-1 receptor with an IC.sub.50 of <10 .mu.g/ml.
Protocol for measuring binding of .sup.125 I-VEGF 165 to BAE cells
BAE cells were grown to confluence in a cm dish in DMEM supplemented with 10% calf serum, 2 mM glutamine, 10 units/ml penicillin G sulfate and 10 .mu.g/ml streptomycin sulfate. The media was aspirated and the cells were washed once with 10 ml of PBS. The PBS was aspirated and 1 ml of 0.05% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA.cndot.4Na in Hanks' balanced salt solution was added. The dish was incubated at room temperature for 5 min or until cell were completely detached. 20 ml of DMEM supplemented as described was added and the cells were aliquoted into the wells of four 24-well microtiter plates (200 .mu.l/well). After 2-4 days or when cells were approximately 70-80% confluent, the medium was aspirated and 200 .mu.l of DMEM supplemented with 25 mM HEPES, 0.15% gelatin, and 5 .mu.g/ml heparin was added to each well. Twenty-five .mu.l of cold VEGF 165 was added to appropriate wells. The final cold VEGF concentration was 10 nM. Twenty-five .mu.l of a stock solution of the test compound in DMSO was added to the appropriate wells to yield final concentrations of 30, 10, 3 and 1 .mu.g/ml or 10, 3, 1 and 0.3 .mu.g/ml. Twenty-five .mu.l of DMEM was added to wells not receiving cold VEGF or compound. Twenty-five .mu.l (40,000 cpm, 3,800 cpm/fmol) of .sup.125 I-VEGF 165 was added to all wells and the plates were incubated for 1-1.5 hours at room temperature. The medium was aspirated and the cells were washed twice with 0.5 ml of ice cold PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA. One-half ml of 20 mM NaPi, 1% Triton was added to each well and the plates were incubated for 30-60 min at room temperature. Samples were transferred to tubes and bound radioactivity was counted with a Packard 5005 Auto-Gamma counter. The amount of cpm bound was estimated by subtracting the background binding (in the presence of 100-fold molar excess of unlabelled VEGF) from the total cpm bound for each sample. The IC.sub.50 values of test compounds were defined as the compound concentration that gave the half maximal binding. Half maximal binding was determined by the following equation:
x=b+[(s-b)/2]
where
x=half maximal binding,
b=background binding and
s=maximal cpm bound in the absence of compound.
The ICY, values were determined graphically by the following procedure:
1. A graph was drawn plotting compound concentration (x-axis) versus cpm bound (y-axis).
2. The half maximal binding was calculated using the equation above.
3. A horizontal line (LINE A) was drawn which intersects the y-axis at the half maximal binding value.
4. A vertical line (LINE B) was drawn through the point where LINE A intersects the inhibition curve.
5. The point where LINE B intersects the x-axis was extrapolated from the graph to give the IC.sub.50 value.
An active compound is designated as an agent which can inhibit the binding of VEGF 165 to BAE cells with an IC.sub.50 of <10 .mu.g/ml.
Protocol for measuring binding of .sup.125 I-VEGF 165 to HUVEC cells
HUVEC cells were grown to confluence in Endothelial Cell Basal Medium plus supplements as described in the literature provided by Clonetics Corp. (San Diego, Calif.). Cells were detached from the flask in an enzyme-free cell dissociation buffer (GIBCO-BRL, Gaithersburg Md.), washed once with PBS and aliquoted at 100,000 cells/well into a 24-well microtiter plate. Cells were allowed to attach overnight. The medium was aspirated and 155 .mu.l of DMEM supplemented with 25 mM HEPES, 0.15% gelatin, 5 .mu.g/ml heparin was added to each well. Twenty-five .mu.l of cold VEGF 165 was added to the appropriate wells, to give a final cold VEGF concentration of 10 nM. Twenty-five .mu.l of a stock solution of the test compound in DMSO was added to the appropriate wells to yield final concentrations of 30, 10, 3 and 1 .mu.g/ml or 10, 3, 1 and 0.3 .mu.g/ml. Twenty-five .mu.l of DMEM was added to wells not receiving cold VEGF or compound and 25 .mu.l (40,000 cpm, 3,800 cpm/fmol) of .sup.125 I-VEGF165 was added to to all wells. The plates were incubated for 1-1.5 hours at room temperature. The medium was aspirated and the cells were washed twice with 0.5 ml of ice cold PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA. One-half ml of 20 mM NaPi, 1% Triton was added to each well and the plates were incubated for 30-60 min at room temperature. The samples were transferred to tubes and the bound radioactivity was counted with a Packard 5005 Auto-Gamma counter. The estimated cpm bound was determined by subtracting the background binding (in the presence of 100-fold molar excess of unlabelled VEGF) from total cpm bound for each sample. The IC.sub.50 values of test compounds were defined as the compound concentration that gave the half maximal binding. Half maximal binding was determined by the following equation:
x=b+[(s-b)/2]
where
x=half maximal binding,
b=background binding and
s=maximal cpm bound in the absence of compound.
The IC.sub.50 values were determined graphically by the following procedure:
1. A graph was drawn plotting compound concentration (x-axis) versus cpm bound (y-axis).
2. The half maximal binding was calculated using the equation above.
3. A horizontal line (LINE A) was drawn which intersects the y-axis at the half maximal binding value.
4. A vertical line (LINE B) was drawn through the point where LINE A intersects the inhibition curve.
5. The point where LINE B intersects the x-axis was extrapolated from the graph to give the IC.sub.50 value.
An active compound is designated as an agent which can inhibit the binding of VEGF 165 to HUVEC cells with an IC.sub.50 of <10 .mu.g/ml.

In Vivo Inhibition of Growth of Human Epidermoid Tumors (A431)
In vivo testing was performed using BALB/c nu/nu female mice (Charles River, Wilmington, Mass.). The human epidermoid carcinoma cells A-431 (American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md. # CRL-155) were grown in vitro and 5.times.10.sup.6 cells were injected subcutaneously (SC) into mice. When tumors attained a mass of between 100 and 150 mg, the mice were randomized into treatment groups (Day Zero). Mice were treated either intraperitoneally (IP) or orally (PO) once a day on days 1 through 20 post staging with doses of either 100 or 50 mg/kg/dose in 0.2% Klucel. Tumor mass was determined every 7 days [(length.times.width.sup.2)/2] for up to 42 days post staging. Relative tumor growth (mean tumor mass on day 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 divided by the mean tumor mass on day zero) was determined for each treatment group. The %T/C (Tumor/Control) was determined by dividing the relative tumor growth of the treated group by the relative tumor growth of the placebo group and multiplying by 100. Data was statistically analyzed via Student-t-test of Log Relative Tumor Growth. A p-value (p.ltoreq.0.05) indicates a statistically significant reduction in Relative Tumor Growth of Treated Group, compared to Placebo Control. A compound is considered to be active if the %T/C is found to be <60% and a p-value of less than or equal to 0.05 is achieved.

Corneal Neovascularization Model
The sustained release preparations of angiogenic agents (ELVAX pellet) were prepared by solvent casting. Growth factors were incorporated into the polymeric mixture by modifications of the procedure described by Tamargo, R. J. et al, Cancer Res.53: 329-333, 1993, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference, where the polymer (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) was dissolved in solvent (methylene chloride). The solvent was then evaporated, leaving the angiogenic agent in the polymeric matrix
Mice were anesthetized using a 1-1.5 ml/kg solution containing a mixture of 70% ketamine hydrochloride (100 mg/ml) and 30% xylazine (20 mg/ml). Using sterile surgical technique, an ELVAX pellet containing either basic FGF (100 ng) or VEGF (400 ng) was implanted into a previously dissected intrastromal corneal pocket 0.5 mm from the corneoscleral limbus. Following implantation the implantation site margins were reapposed and the eyes were treated with topical antibiotic ointment (bacitracin/neomycin/polymixin). On various days (between postoperative days 4 and 18) the extent of neovascularization was measured.
Neovascularization was monitored by measurements of new vessel growth within the previously avascular cornea. This parameter was obtained by measuring with calipers under microscopic magnification the length of the base of the neovascular bed at the limbus. The area of neovascularization, which is typically triangular, was calculated by dividing the product of the length of the vessel and the base length by two. Data was statistically analyzed via Student-t-test of Log Relative Reduction of Neovascularization. A p-value (p.ltoreq.0.05) indicates a statistically significant reduction in neovascularization of Treated Group, compared to Placebo Control. A compound is considered to be active if the %Inhibition is found to be .ltoreq.80% and a p-value of less than or equal to 0.05 is achieved.

Inhibition of Vascular Permeability Assay (Miles Assay)
This assay was performed using BALB/c female mice (Charles River, Wilmington, Mass.). Both sides of the animals were shaved between 24 and 48 hours before the start of the assay. There were 10 animals per experimental group. Compound (in Klucel) or vehicle control (Klucel) was delivered orally either 1 hour, 2 hours or 4 hours prior to the injection of VEGF. At the time of VEGF administration, 25 ng of VEGF 165 (Preprotech, Rocky Hill, N.J.), prepared in 0.1% BSA in normal saline, was injected intradermally (ID) on one side of each animal. Immediately following the ID injection, 200.mu.l of 0.5% Evans Blue Dye was administered to the animals intravenously (IV). One half hour later the animals were sacrificed by CO.sub.2 inhalation. The skin of the animals were peeled back and the area of vascular permeability (as indicated by the area of Evans Blue Dye leakage) was measured in 2 dimensions. Data was statistically analyzed via Student-t-test. A p-value (p.ltoreq.0.05) indicates a statistically significant difference between the area of vascular permeability of the vehicle control verses the experimental group. Data was statistically analyzed via Student-t-test of Log Relative Area of Permiability. A p-value (p.ltoreq.0.05) indicates a statistically significant reduction in permeability of Treated Group, compared to Placebo Control. A compound is considered to be active if the %Control is found to be .ltoreq.85% and a p-value of less than or equal to 0.05 is achieved.
