5 Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical agents (compounds) which are useful as αv β3 integrin antagonists and as such are useful in pharmaceutical compositions and in methods for treating conditions mediated by αv β3 by inhibiting or antagonizing αv β3 0 integrins.
Background of the Invention Integrins are a group of cell surface glycoproteins which mediate cell adhesion and therefore are useful mediators of cell adhesion 5 interactions which occur during various biological processes. Integrins are heterodimers composed of noncovalently linked α and β polypeptide subunits. Currently eleven different α subunits have been identified and six different β subunits have been identified. The various α subunits can combine with various β subunits to form distinct integrins. 0 The integrin identified as α β3 (also known as the vitronectin receptor) has been identified as an integrin which plays a role in various conditions or disease states including tumor metastasis, solid tumor growth (neoplasia), osteoporosis, Paget's disease, humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, angiogenesis, including tumor angiogenesis, retinopathy 5 including macular degeneration, arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, periodontal disease, psoriasis and smooth muscle cell migration (e.g. restenosis). Additionally, it has been found that such agents would be
2
useful as antivirals, antifungals and antimicrobials. Thus, compounds which selectively inhibit or antagonize α β3 would be beneficial for treating such conditions.
It has been shown that the αv β3 integrin and other α containing integrins bind to a number of Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) containing matrix macromolecules. Compounds containing the RGD sequence mimic extracellular matrix ligands so as to bind to cell surface receptors. However, it is also known that RGD peptides in general are non-selective for RGD dependent integrins. For example, most RGD peptides which bind to α β3 also bind to αvβs, αvβι and otm$3- Antagonism of platelet αm,β3 (also known as the fibrinogen receptor) is known to block platelet aggregation in humans. In order to avoid bleeding side-effects when treating the conditions or disease states associated with the integrin α β3, it would be beneficial to develop compounds which are selective antagonists of α β3 as opposed to αDbβ3- Tumor cell invasion occurs by a three step process: 1 ) tumor cell attachment to extracellular matrix; 2) proteolytic dissolution of the matrix; and 3) movement of the cells through the dissolved barrier. This process can occur repeatedly and can result in metastases at sites distant from the original tumor. Seftor et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 89 (1992) 1557-1561 ) have shown that the v β3 integrin has a biological function in melanoma cell invasion. Montgomery et al., (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 91 (1994) 8856-60) have demonstrated that the integrin α β3 expressed on human melanoma cells promotes a survival signal, protecting the cells from apoptosis. Mediation of the tumor cell metastatic pathway by interference with the α β3 integrin cell adhesion receptor to impede tumor metastasis would be beneficial.
Brooks et al. (Cell, Vol. 79 (1994) 1157-1164) have demonstrated that antagonists of αv β3 provide a therapeutic approach for the treatment of neoplasia (inhibition of solid tumor growth) since systemic administration
3 of α β3 antagonists causes dramatic regression of various histologically distinct human tumors.
The adhesion receptor integrin αv β3 was identified as a marker of angiogenic blood vessels in chick and man and therefore such receptor plays a critical role in angiogenesis or neovascularization. Angiogenesis is characterized by the invasion, migration and proliferation of smooth muscle and endothelial cells. Antagonists of α β3 inhibit this process by selectively promoting apoptosis of cells in neovasculature. The growth of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, also contributes to pathological conditions such as diabetic retinopathy including macular degeneration (Adamis et al., Amer. J. Ophthal., Vol. 118, (1994) 445-450) and rheumatoid arthritis (Peacock et al., J. Exp. Med., Vol. 175, (1992), 1135- 1138). Therefore, α β3 antagonists would be useful therapeutic agents for treating such conditions associated with neovascularization (Brooks et al., Science, Vol. 264, (1994), 569-571 ). It has been reported that the cell surface receptor αv β3 is the major integrin on osteoclasts responsible for attachment to bone. Osteoclasts cause bone resorption and when such bone resorbing activity exceeds bone forming activity it results in osteoporosis (loss of bone), which leads to an increased number of bone fractures, incapacitation and increased mortality. Antagonists of αv β3 have been shown to be potent inhibitors of osteoclastic activity both in vitro [Sato et al., J. Cell. Biol., Vol. 111 (1990) 1713-1723] and in vivo [Fisher et al., Endocrinology, Vol. 132 (1993) 1411- 1413]. Antagonism of α β3 leads to decreased bone resorption and therefore restores a normal balance of bone forming and resorbing activity. Thus it would be beneficial to provide antagonists of osteoclast α β3 which are effective inhibitors of bone resorption and therefore are useful in the treatment or prevention of osteoporosis.
The role of the α β3 integrin in smooth muscle cell migration also makes it a therapeutic target for prevention or inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia which is a leading cause of restenosis after vascular procedures (Choi et al., J. Vase. Surg. Vol. 19(1 ) (1994) 125-34).
4 Prevention or inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia by pharmaceutical agents to prevent or inhibit restenosis would be beneficial.
White (Current Biology, Vol. 3(9)(1993) 596-599) has reported that adenovirus uses α β3 for entering host cells. The integrin appears to be required for eπdocytosis of the virus particle and may be required for penetration of the viral genome into the host cell cytoplasm. Thus compounds which inhibit α β3 would find usefulness as antiviral agents.

Some product precipitates and is recovered by filtration The remainder is recovered by diluting the filtrate with water and isolating the precipitate Combining the solids and drying gives 3-chloro-5-bromo-2- hydroxybenzaldehyde 3-ιodo-5-chlorosalιcylaldehyde was prepared by reacting 5-chlorosalιcylaldehyde with N-iodosuccinimide in DMF and subjecting the reaction mixture to conventional work-up conditions 3-ιodo- 5-bromosalιcylaldehyde can be prepared by reacting 5- bromosalicylaldehyde in acetonitπle with potassium iodide and chloramme T Conventional work-up gives a material that when treated with hexanes gives the desired 3-ιodo-5-chlorosalιcylaldehyde
Coumaπns are readily prepared from salicylaldehydes using a modified Perkm reaction (e g , Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry, 5th Ed , 1989, p 1040) The halo-substituted coumaπns were converted to 3-amιnohydrocoumaπns (see J G Rico, Tett Let , 1994, 35, 6599-6602) which were readily opened in acidic alcohol to give 3-amιno-3- (3,5-halo-2-hydroxy)phenyl propanoic acid esters
3-amιno-3-(3,5-halo-2-hydroxy)phenyl propanoic acid esters were converted to N-gly-3-amιno-3(3,5-halo-2hydroxy)phenyl propanoic acid esters by reaction of Boc-N-gly-N-hydroxysuccinimide to give Boc-N-gly-3- amιno-3-(3,5-halo-2-hydroxy)phenyl propanoic acid esters that were converted to HX salts of N-gly-3-amιno-3-(3,5-halo-2-hydroxy)phenyl propanoic acid esters (wherein X is Cl, Br or I)

The reaction solution was heated at reflux overnight. The dark brown reaction mixture was cooled to 50°C and water (1L) added with stirring. After one hour the mixture was filtered and the filtrate combined with EtOH (1L). This mixture was heated to 45°C for one hour, cooled to room temperature, filtered and the solid (fraction A) washed with EtOH (0.5 L). The combined EtOH solutions were concentrated by rotary evaporation to produce an oil (fraction B). The solid from fraction A was dissolved in methylene chloride (1.5 L) and the resulting solution passed through a pad of silica gel (1300 mL volume). The resulting dark brown solution was concentrated to an oil that was triturated with hexanes (1.3 L) to give a solid that was isolated by filtration and washed (hexanes) to give substantially pure 6,8-dichlorocoumarin (163 g). An additional 31 g of product was obtained by
treating the oil (fraction B) in a similar fashion; the oil was dissolved in methylene chloride (0.5 L) passed through a silica pad (0.5 L volume) and triturated with hexanes. The total isolated yield is 194 g or 86% of the brown solid.

VITRONECTIN ADHESION ASSAY MATERIALS
Human vitronectin receptor (αvβ3) was purified from human placenta as previously described [Pytela et al., Methods in Enzymology, 144:475- 489 (1987)]. Human vitronectin was purified from fresh frozen plasma as previously described [Yatohgo et al., Cell Structure and Function, 13:281 - 292 (1988)]. Biotinylated human vitronectin was prepared by coupling NHS-biotin from Pierce Chemical Company (Rockford, IL) to purified vitronectin as previously described [Charo et al., 1 Biol. Chem., 266(3): 1415-1421 (1991 )]. Assay buffer, OPD substrate tablets, and RIA grade BSA were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Anti-biotin antibody was obtained from Calbiochem (La Jolla, CA). Linbro microtiter plates were obtained from Flow Labs (McLean, VA). ADP reagent was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO).
METHODS
Solid Phase Receptor Assays
This assay was essentially the same as previously reported [Niiya et al., Blood. 70:475-483 (1987)]. The purified human vitronectin receptor (αvβ3) was diluted from stock solutions to 1.0 μg/mL in Tris-buffered saline containing 1.0 mM Ca++, Mg ++, and Mn++, pH 7.4 (TBS+++). The diluted receptor was immediately transferred to Linbro microtiter plates at 100 μL/well (100 ng receptor/well). The plates were sealed and incubated overnight at 4°C to allow the receptor to bind to the wells. All remaining steps were at room temperature. The assay plates were emptied and 200 μL of 1 % RIA grade BSA in TBS+++ (TBS+++/BSA) were added to block
234 exposed plastic surfaces. Following a 2 hour incubation, the assay plates were washed with TBS+++ using a 96 well plate washer. Logarithmic serial dilution of the test compound and controls were made starting at a stock concentration of 2 mM and using 2 nM biotinylated vitronectin in TBS+++/BSA as the diluent. This premixing of labeled ligand with test (or control) ligand, and subsequent transfer of 50 μL aliquots to the assay plate was carried out with a CETUS Propette robot; the final concentration of the labeled ligand was 1 nM and the highest concentration of test compound was 1.0 x 10"4 M. The competition occurred for two hours after which all wells were washed with a plate washer as before. Affinity purified horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-biotin antibody was diluted 1 :3000 in TBS+++/BSA and 125 μL were added to each well. After 30 minutes, the plates were washed and incubated with OPD/H2O2 substrate in 100 mM/L Citrate buffer, pH 5.0. The plate was read with a microtiter plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm and when the maximum-binding control wells reached an absorbance of about 1.0, the final A450 were recorded for analysis. The data were analyzed using a macro written for use with the EXCELJ spreadsheet program. The mean, standard deviation, and %CV were determined for duplicate concentrations. The mean A^o values were normalized to the mean of four maximum-binding controls (no competitor added)(B-MAX). The normalized values were subjected to a four parameter curve fit algorithm [Rodbard et al., Int. Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, pp 469 (1977)], plotted on a semi-log scale, and the computed concentration corresponding to inhibition of 50% of the maximum binding of biotinylated vitronectin (IC50) and corresponding R2 was reported for those compounds exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at the highest concentration tested; otherwise the IC50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested. β-[[2-[[5- [(aminoiminomethyl)amino]-1 -oxopentyl]amino]-1 -oxoethyl]amino]-3- pyridinepropanoic acid [USSN 08/375,338, Example 1] which is a potent αvβ3 antagonist (IC5o in the range 3-10 nM) was included on each plate as a positive control.

PURIFIED llb/llla RECEPTOR ASSAY
MATERIALS
Human fibrinogen receptor (αvβ3) was purified from outdated platelets. (Pytela, R., Pierschbacher, M.D., Argraves, S., Suzuki, S., and Rouslahti, E. "Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic acid adhesion receptors", Methods in Enzymology 144(1987):475-489.) Human vitronectin was purified from fresh frozen plasma as described in Yatohgo, T., Izumi, M., Kashiwagi, H., and Hayashi, M., "Novel purification of vitronectin from human plasma by heparin affinity chromatography," Cell Structure and Function 13(1988):281 -292. Biotinylated human vitronectin was prepared by coupling NHS-biotin from Pierce Chemical Company (Rockford, IL) to purified vitronectin as previously described. (Charo, I.F., Nannizzi, L., Phillips, D.R., Hsu, M.A., Scarborough, R.M., "Inhibition of fibrinogen binding to GP llb/llla by a GP Ilia peptide". J. Biol. Chem. 266(3 1991 ): 1415-1421.) Assay buffer, OPD substrate tablets, and RIA grade BSA were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Anti-biotin antibody was obtained from Calbiochem (La Jolla, CA). Linbro microtiter plates were obtained from Flow Labs (McLean, VA). ADP reagent was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO).
METHODS
Solid Phase Receptor Assays This assay is essentially the same reported in Niiya, K., Hodson, E.,
Bader, R., Byers-Ward, V. Koziol, J.A., Plow, E.F. and Ruggeri, Z.M., "Increased surface expression of the membrane glycoprotein llb/llla complex induced by platelet activation: Relationships to the binding of fibrinogen and platelet aggregation", Blood 70(1987):475-483. The purified human fibrinogen receptor (αvβ3) was diluted from stock solutions to 1.0 μg/mL in Tris-buffered saline containing 1.0 mM Ca++, Mg++, and
όb Mn++, pH 7.4 (TBS+++). The diluted receptor was immediately transferred to Linbro microtiter plates at 100 μL/well (100 ng receptor/well).

The plate was read with a microtiter plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm and when the maximum-binding control wells reached an absorbance of about 1.0, the final A450 were recorded for analysis. The data were analyzed using a macro written for use with the EXCELJ spreadsheet program. The mean, standard deviation, and %CV were determined for duplicate concentrations. The mean A 50 values were normalized to the mean of four maximum-binding controls (no competitor added)(B-MAX). The normalized values were subjected to a four parameter curve fit algorithm, [Robard et al., Int. Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, pp 469 (1977)], plotted on a semi-log scale, and the computed concentration corresponding to inhibition of 50% of the maximum binding of biotinylated vitronectin (IC50) and corresponding R2 was reported for those compounds exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at the highest concentration tested;
otherwise the IC50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested. β-[[2-[[5-[(aminoiminomethyl)amino]-1- oxopentyl]amino]-1 -oxoethyl]amino]-3-pyridinepropanoic acid [USSN 08/375,338, Example 1 ] which is a potent αvβ3 antagonist (IC5o in the range 3-10 nM) was included on each plate as a positive control.
Human Platelet Rich Plasma Assays Healthy aspirin free donors were selected from a pool of volunteers. The harvesting of platelet rich plasma and subsequent ADP induced platelet aggregation assays were performed as described in Zucker, M.B., "Platelet Aggregation Measured by the Photometric Method", Methods in Enzvmology 169(1989): 117-133. Standard venipuncture techniques using a butterfly allowed the withdrawal of 45 mL of whole blood into a 60 mL syringe containing 5 mL of 3.8% trisodium citrate. Following thorough mixing in the syringe, the anti-coagulated whole blood was transferred to a 50 mL conical polyethylene tube. The blood was centrifuged at room temperature for 12 minutes at 200 xg to sediment non-platelet cells. Platelet rich plasma was removed to a polyethylene tube and stored at room temperature until used. Platelet poor plasma was obtained from a second centrifugation of the remaining blood at 2000 xg for 15 minutes. Platelet counts are typically 300,000 to 500,000 per microliter. Platelet rich plasma (0.45 mL) was aliquoted into siliconized cuvettes and stirred (1100 rpm) at 37°C for 1 minute prior to adding 50 uL of pre-diluted test compound. After 1 minute of mixing, aggregation was initiated by the addition of 50 uL of 200 uM ADP. Aggregation was recorded for 3 minutes in a Payton dual channel aggregometer (Payton Scientific, Buffalo, NY). The percent inhibition of maximal response (saline control) for a series of test compound dilutions was used to determine a dose response curve. All compounds were tested in duplicate and the concentration of half-maximal inhibition (IC5o) was calculated graphically from the dose response curve for those compounds which exhibited 50% or greater inhibition at the
238 highest concentration tested; otherwise, the IC5o is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested.
