Description

TITLE
Vitronectin Receptor Antagonists
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to pharmaceutically active compounds which inhibit the vitronectin receptor and are useful for the treatment of inflammation, cancer and cardiovascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis, and diseases wherein bone resorption is a factor, such as osteoporosis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Integrins are a superfamily of cell adhesion receptors, which are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on a variety of cells. These cell surface adhesion receptors include gpllb /Ilia, the fibrinogen receptor, and αv63, the vitronectin receptor. The fibrinogen receptor gpllb /Ilia is expressed on the platelet surface and it mediates platelet aggregation and the formation of a hemostatic clot at the site of a bleeding wound. Philips, et al, Blood., 1988, 71, 831. The vitronectin receptor otyββ is expressed on a number of cells, including endothelial, smooth muscle, osteoclast, and tumor cells, and, thus, it has a variety of functions. The αvB3 receptor expressed on the membrane of osteoclast cells mediates the bone resportion process and contributes to the development of osteoporosis. Ross, et al, J. Biol. Chem., 1987, 262, 7703. The 0^-3 receptor expressed on human aortic smooth muscle cells stimulates their migration into neointima, which leads to the formation of atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. Brown, et al, Cardiovascular Res., 1994, 28, 1815. Additionally, a recent study has shown that a otyββ antagonist is able to promote tumor regression by inducing apoptosis of angiogenic blood vessels. Brooks, et al, Cell, 1994, 79, 1157. Thus, agents that would block the vitronectin receptor would be useful in treating diseases mediated by this receptor, such as osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, restenosis and cancer. The vitronectin receptor is known to bind to bone matrix proteins, such as osteopontin, bone sialoprotein and thrombospondin, which contain the tri-peptide Arg-Gly-Asp (or RGD) motif. Thus, Horton, et al, Exp. Cell Res. 1991, 195, 368, disclose that RGD-containing peptides and an anti-vitronectin receptor antibody (23C6) inhibit dentine resorption and cell spreading by osteoclasts. In addition, Sato, et al, J. Cell Biol. 1990, 111, 1713 disclose that echistatin, a snake venom peptide which contains the RGD sequence, is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption in tissue culture, and inhibits attachment of osteoclasts to bone. Fisher, et al. Endocrinology 1993, 132, 1411, has further shown that echistatin inhibits bone resoφtion in vivo in the rat. Bertolini et al, J. Bone Min. Res., 6, Sup. 1, SI 46, 252 have shown that cylco-S,S-Nα-acetyl-cysteinyl-Nα-methyl-argininyl-glycyl- aspartyl-penicillamine inhibits osteoclast attachment to bone. EP 528 587 and 528 586 report substituted phenyl derivatives which inhibit osteoclast mediated bone resoφtion. Alig et al., EP 0 381 033, Hartman, et al., EP 0 540,334, Blackburn, et al.,
WO 93/08174, Bondinell, et al., WO 93/00095, Blackburn, et al. WO 95/04057, Egbertson, et al, EP 0478 328, Sugihara, et al. EP 529,858, Porter, et al., EP 0 542 363, and Fisher, et al., EP 0 635 492 disclose certain compounds that are useful for inhibiting the fibrinogen receptor. It has now been discovered that certain appropriately substituted compounds are potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor. In particular, it has been discovered that such compounds are more potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor and such compounds contain a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention comprises compounds of the formula (I)-(V) and (XXI)-(XXII) as described hereinafter, which have pharmacological activity for the inhibition of the vitronection receptor and are useful in the treatment of inflammation, cancer and cardiovascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis, and diseases wherein bone resoφtion is a factor, such as osteoporosis. This invention is also a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to formula (I)-(V) (XXI)-(XXII)and a pharmaceutically carrier.
This invention is also a method of treating diseases which are mediated by the vitronectin receptor. In a particular aspect, the compounds of this invention are useful for treating atherosclerosis, restenosis, inflammation, cancer and diseases wherein bone resoφtion is a factor, such as osteoporosis.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This invention comprises novel compounds which are more potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor. The compounds of the instant invention comprise a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template that is linked to a nitrogen-containing five-membered ring, which is optionally fused to an aromatic six-membered ring. The fibrinogen receptor antagonist template is substituted by an aliphatic substituent which contains an acidic moiety. It is preferred that about fourteen intervening covalent bonds via the shortest intramolecular path will exist between the acidic group of the fibrinogen receptor antagonist template and the nitrogen of the optionally fused five-membered ring.
As used herein, the term "fibrinogen receptor antagonist template" means the core structure of a fibrinogen receptor antagonist, said core being substituted by an acidic group and said core being linked to an organic group substituted with a basic nitrogen moiety. A fibrinogen receptor antagonist is an agent that inhibits the binding of fibrinogen to the platelet-bound fibrinogen receptor GPIIb-IIIa. It is an object of this invention that a fibrinogen receptor antagonist is converted to a vitronectin receptor antagonist by replacing the organic group substituted with a basic nitrogen moiety in a fibrinogen receptor antagonist with an optionally fused nitrogen-containing five-membered ring, preferably an imidazole ring and, most preferably, a benzimidazole ring.

Compounds of the formula (I)-(V) are prepared, for example, by reacting a compound of formula (XIX) with a compound of formula (XX), wherein L1 and L2 are groups which may react to form a covalent bond in the moiety W, by methods generally known in the art.
(XIX) (XX) (I)
Typical methods include coupling to form amide bonds, nucleophilic displacement reactions and palladium catalyzed couplings. For instance, when W contains an ether or amine linkage, the bond may be formed by a displacement reaction, and one of L1 and L2 will contain an amino or hydroxy group and the other will contain a displaceable group, such as a chloro, bromo or iodo group. When W contains an amide bond, typically one of L1 and L2 will contain an amino group, and the other will contain a carboxylic acid group. In another approach, L1 may be an aryl or heteroaryl bromide, iodide or trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy derivative and L2 may contain an amino group and the amide linkage may be formed by palladium- catalyzed aminocarbonylation with carbon monoxide in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide or toluene. It will be apparent that the precise identity of L1 and L2 will be dependent upon the site of the linkage being formed. General methods for preparing the linkage -(CHR")r-U-(CHR")s-V- are described, for example, in EP-A 0 372 486 and EP-A 0 381 033 and EP-A 0478 363, which are incoφorated herein by reference. For instance, if V is CONH, L1 may be -NH2, L2 may be OH (as in an acid) or Cl (as in an acid chloride), and R6" may be W-(CR'2)q-Z-(CR'R10)r-U-(CR'2)s- C(O), with any functional groups optionally protected. For example, R6" may be (benzyloxycarbonyl-amidino)benzoyl- or (Nα-Boc,N8uan-Tos)arginyl-. When L2 is OH, a coupling agent is used.
Similarly, if V is NHCO, L1 may be -CO2H or CO-C1, L2 may be -NH2, and R6" may be W-(CR'2)q-Z-(CR'R10)r-U-(CR'2)s-. For example, R6" may be
(benzyloxycarbonyl-amidino)phenyl, (benzyloxycarbonylamino)methylbenzyl- or 6- (benzyloxycarbonylamino)hexyl-.
Where V is NHSO2, L1 may be SO2Cl, L2 may be -NH2 and R6" may be as above. Where V is SO2NH, L1 may be -NH2 and L2 may be SO2Cl. Methods to prepare such sulfonyl chlorides are disclosed, for instance, in J. Org. Chem., 23, 1257 (1958).
If V is CH=CH, L1 may be -CHO, L2 may be CH=P-Ph3 and R6" may be W- (CR'2)q-Z-(CR'R10)r-U-(CR'2)s-. Alternately, L1 may be CH=P-Ph3, L2 may be CHO, e.g., R6" may be W-(CR'2)q-Z-(CR'R10)r-U-(CR'2)s.1-CHO. Where V is CH2CH2 may be obtained by reduction of a suitably protected compound wherein V is CH=CH.
Where V is CH2O, CH2N or Cs C , L1 may be -OH, -NH or
-C≡ C H,respectively; L2 may be -Br; and R6" may be W-(CR'2)q-Z-(CR'R10)r-U-(CR' )s-. For example, R6" may be
(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-methylbenzyl- or 2-(N-benzyl-4-piperidinyl)-ethy 1. Similarly where U or V is OCH2, NR'CH2 or C≡ C , L1 may be -CH2Br and L2 may be -OH, -NH or -C= C H, respectively. Alternately, when U or V is C= C , L1 may be Br, I or CF3SO3, L2 may be C= C H and the coupling may be catalyzed by palladium and a base.

Chem., 54, 1354 (1989).

The core 6-7 fused ring system is prepared of formula (VI) by methods well known in the art, e.g., Hynes, et al., J. Het. Chem., 1988, 25, 1173; Muller, et al,
Helv. Chim. Acta., 1982, 65, 21 18; Mori, et al, Heterocycles, 1981, 16, 1491. Similarly, methods for preparing benzazepines, 1 ,4-benzothiazepines, 1,4- benzoxazepines and 1 ,4-benzodiazepines are known and are disclosed, for instance, in Bondinell, et al, International Patent Application WO 93/00095.
The schemes which follow detail the preparation of the compounds of the instant invention.
Scheme I
a) EtOAc LiN(TMS)2, THF; b) Et3SiH, BF3 • OEt2, CH.C1.; c) H2, 10% Pd C, EtOH; d) EtSH, AlCl., CH2C12; e) Tf2O, 2,6-lutidine, CH2C12; f) CO, KOAc, Pd(OAc)., dppf, DMSO; g) 2-(methylaminomethyl)benzimidazole dihydrochloride, EDC, HOBt • H2O, (i-Pr)2NEt, CH3CN; h) 1.0 N NaOH, EtOH. An appropriately substituted deoxybenzoin, such as 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-l- phenylethanone (Chem. Ber. 1958, 91, 755-759), is reacted in an aldol-type reaction with the enolate of ethyl acetate, which can be generated from ethyl acetate on exposure to an appropriate amide base, for instance lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) or lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiN(TMS)2), to afford 1-2. Frequently, THF is the solvent of choice for an aldol reaction, although THF in the presence of various additives, for instance HMPA or TMEDA, is often used. Reaction of 1-2 with triethylsilane (Et3SiH) in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate (BF3 • OEt2) according to the general protocol of Oφhanopoulos and Smonu (Synth. Commun. 1988, 833) for the reduction of tertiary benzylic alcohols affords 1-3, together with the olefinic product derived from β-elimination of the alcohol. The olefinic product can be conveniently converted to 1-3 by hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, such as palladium metal on activated carbon (Pd/C), in an appropriate inert solvent, for instance methanol, ethanol, or ethyl acetate. Removal of the methyl ether of 1-3 to give 1-4 can be accomplished by reaction with ethanethiol (EtSH) in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, preferably anhydrous aluminum trichloride (A1C13), in an inert solvent, for instance CH2C12. Other useful methods for removal of a methyl ether are described in Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" (published by Wiley-Interscience). Alcohol 1-4 is converted to its trifluoromethanesulfonate ester 1-5 by reaction with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Tf2O) in the presence of a suitable non-nucleophilic amine base, such as 2,6-lutidine, in an inert solvent, generally CH2C12. 1-5 reacts with carbon monoxide (CO) in the presence of potassium acetate, l,l'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), and a palladium catalyst, for instance palladium acetate (Pd(OAc)2), in a suitable solvent, preferably DMSO, according to the general method described by Cacchi and Lupi (Tet. Lett. 1992, 33, 3939) for the carboxylation of aryl trifluoromethanesulfonates. The resulting benzoic acid derivative 1-6 is converted to an activated form of the carboxylic acid using, for example, EDC and HOBt, or SOCl , and the activated form is subsequently reacted with an appropriate amine, for instance 2- (methylaminomethyl)methylbenzimidazole dihydrochloride, in a suitable solvent such as DMF, CH2C12, or CH3CN, to afford 1-7. Depending on whether acid neutralization is required, an added base, such as diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)2NEt) or pyridine, may be used. Many additional methods for converting a carboxylic acid to an amide are known, and can be found in standard reference books, such as "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods", Vol. I - VI (published by Wiley- Interscience), or Bodansky, "The Practice of Peptide Synthesis" (published by Springer- Verlag). The ethyl ester of 1-7 is hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example, LiOH in aqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol, and the intermediate carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for instance TFA or HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid 1-8. Alternatively, the intermediate carboxylate salt can be isolated, if desired, or a carboxylate salt of the free carboxylic acid can be prepared by methods well-known to those of skill in the art.
Scheme II
a) isobutylene, TfOH, CH2C12; b) methyl acrylate, Pd(OAc)2, P(tol)3, (i-Pr)2NEt, propionitrile; c) H2, 10% Pd C, MeOH, EtOAc; d) 1.0 N LiOH, THF, H2O; e) dimethylamine hydrochloride, EDC, HOBt • H2O, (i-Pr)2NEt, CH3CN; f) LiN(TMS)2, THF, then BrCH2CO2Et; g) TFA, CH2C12; h) 2-(methylaminomethyl)benzimidazole dihydrochloride, EDC, HOBt • H2O, (i-Pr)2NEt, CH3CN; i) 1.0 N LiOH, THF, H2O. Commercially available 4-bromobenzoic acid (II-l) is converted to the tert- butyl ester II-2 by reaction with isobutylene in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid, such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) or sulfuric acid, in an inert solvent, generally CH2C12 or diethyl ether. Alternative methods for the formation of tert-butyl esters are described in Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" (published by Wiley-Interscience). Other esters can be employed, as long as they are compatible with the subsequent chemistry and can be removed selectively when desired. A Heck-type reaction between II-2 and methyl acrylate affords II-3. The general conditions for the Heck reaction have been reviewed by Heck (Org. Reactions 1982, 27, 345). For II-2, reaction with methyl acrylate in the presence of palladium (II) acetate (Pd(OAc)2) and tri-ortho-tolylphosphine (P(tol)3) in an inert solvent, such as CH3CN, propionitrile, or toluene, in the presence of an appropriate acid scavenger, such as diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)2NEt), affords II-3. Reduction of the α,β-unsaturated ester of II-3 to afford the saturated compound H-4 occurs under standard hydrogenation conditions, for instance reaction with hydrogen gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst, preferably palladium metal on activated carbon (Pd/C), in an inert solvent, generally methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, or mixtures thereof. The methyl ester of II-4 is hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example, LiOH in aqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol, and the intermediate carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for instance TFA or HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid II-5. This is converted to an activated form of the carboxylic acid using, for example, EDC and HOBt, or SOCl2, and the activated form is subsequently reacted with an appropriate amine, for instance dimethylamine hydrochloride, in a suitable solvent such as DMF, CH2C12, or CH3CN, to afford II-6. Depending on whether acid neutralization is required, an added base, such as diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)2NEt) or pyridine, may be used. Many additional methods for converting a carboxylic acid to an amide are known, and can be found in standard reference books, such as "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods", Vol. I - VI (published by Wiley-Interscience), or Bodansky, "The Practice of Peptide Synthesis" (published by Springer- Verlag). Reaction of II-6 with an amide base, for instance lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiN(TMS)2), sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaN(TMS)2), potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KN(TMS)2), or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), in an inert solvent, generally THF or ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME), affords an intermediate amide enolate. This is generally not isolated, but rather is reacted in situ with an electrophile, for example ethyl bromoacetate, to afford the alkylated product II-7. Various additives known to those of skill in the art, for instance HMPA, tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), or l,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(lH)-pyrimidinone (DMPU), can be used to improve the efficiency of the alkylation reaction. ). The tert-butyl ester group of II-7 is removed under acidic conditions, generally with TFA or HCl, in an inert solvent, usually CH2C12, 1 ,4-dioxane, or mixtures thereof, to afford the acid II- 8. Other useful methods for the removal of tert-butyl esters are described in Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" (published by Wiley-Interscience). II-8 is converted to II-9 under the general conditions described in Scheme I for the conversion of 1-6 to 1-7, and II-9 is converted to 11-10 by the general conditions described in Scheme I for the conversion of 1-7 to 1-8.
Scheme III
a) 3-carbomethoxypropionyl chloride, (i-Pr)2NEt, CH2C12; b) 1.0 N NaOH, MeOH; c) ethyl 3-amino-4-pentynoate, EDC, HOBt • H2O, (i-Pr)2NEt, CH3CN, DMF; d) 1.0 N LiOH, THF, H2O, CH3CN.
Readily available 2-(2-aminoethyl)benzimidazole is reacted with 3- carbomethoxypropionyl chloride in the presence of an appropriate acid scavenger, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, or pyridine, in a neutral solvent, generally CH2C12, to afford III-2. The methyl ester of III-2 can be hydrolyzed to afford HI-3 under the general conditions described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of 1-7 to 1-8. Alternatively, III-l can be reacted with succinic anhydride in the presence of an appropriate base, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, or pyridine, in a neutral solvent, generally CH2C12, to afford III-3 directly. III-3 is converted to III-4 by reaction with the known ethyl 3-amino-4-pentynoate (WO93/07867) under the general conditions described in Scheme I for the conversion of 1-6 to 1-7. Hydrolysis of the ethyl ester of III-4 to provide III-5 is accomplished according to the general conditions conditions described in Scheme I for the conversion of 1-7 to 1-8.
a) methyl 4-(chloroformyl)butyrate, Et3N, THF; b) AcOH; c) 1.0 N NaOH, MeOH; d) Boc-Gly, EDC, HOBt • H2O, (i-Pr)2NEt, CH3CN; e) TFA, CH2C12; f) 3, EDC, HOBt • H2O, (i-Pr)2NEt, CH3CN; g) 1.0 N LiOH, THF, H2O.
The synthesis of IV-8 is accomplished by the reaction of two separately prepared intermediates, IV-3 and IV-6. The preparation of intermediate I -3 begins with commercially available 2,3-diaminopyridine (IV-1). Accordinf to this scheme, IV-1 is acylated with methyl 4-(choloroformyl)butyrate in the presence of a suitable acid scavenger, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, or pyridine, in a neutral solvent, generally CH2C12 or THF, to afford an intermediate monoacylated derivative. This derivative is then cyclized, for example using refluxing acetic acid, to afford IV-2. Hydrolysis of the methyl ester of IV-2 under the general conditions described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of 1-7 to 1-8 affords IV-3. The preparation of the intermediate IV -6 begins with the coupling of the known ethyl 3-amino-4- pentynoate (WO93/07867) with commercially available tert-butoxycarbonylglycine (Boc-Gly) under standard peptide bond forming conditions described in the previously referenced Bodansky publication, and in Scheme 1 for the conversion of 1-6 to 1-7. The product of this reaction, IV-5, is deprotected to IV-6 under acidic conditions which are known to effect removal of a Boc protecting group. Such conditions are described in the previously referenced Bodansky and Greene publications. The two intermediates IV-3 and IV-6 are coupled under standard peptide coupling conditions as previously described to afford IV-7, which is hydrolyzed to FV-8 according to the general methods described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of 1-7 to 1-8.
Scheme V
a) (Boc)2O, DMAP, CH3CN; b) isobutylchloroformate, Et-N, THF, then 1,2- phenylenediamine, then AcOH; c) (n-Bu3Sn)2, (PPh3)2PdCl2, DMF; d) Cul, (PPh3)2PdCl2, DMF; e) 4 M HCl/dioxane; f) 1.0 N NaOH, MeOH. The synthesis of V-7 is accomplished by the reaction of two separately prepared intermediates, V-2 and V-5. V-2 is conveniently prepared by reaction of the readily available V-l with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate ((Boc)2O) in the presence of an acylation catalyst, preferably 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) or 4- pyrrolidinopyridine, in a neutral solvent, for example CH3CN, THF, or CH2C12. The preparation of intermediate V-5 begins with commercially available 3-iodobenzoic acid (V-3), which is converted to the benzimidazole derivative V-4. According to this scheme, V-3 is reacted with isobutyl chloroformate in the presence of a suitable amine base, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, or 4-methylmoφholine, in a neutral solvent, generally CH2C12 or THF, to afford an intermediate mixed anhydride derivative. Without isolation, this derivative is reacted with an appropriate phenylenediamine to produce a mono-N-acylated phenylenediamine intermediate. This intermediate is then cyclized to V-4 using acetic acid. Reaction of V-4 with bis(tributyltin) to produce V-5 occurs under palladium catalysis using, for example bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride ((PPh3)2PdCl2), in an inert solvent, usually DMF. Stille-type coupling of V-2 with V-5 to afford V-6 is mediated by a palladium catalyst, for instance bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride ((PPh3)2PdCl2), in the presence of copper (I) iodide (Cul), in a suitable neutral solvent, generally DMF. To obtain V-7, the protecting groups of V-6 are removed by well-established methods known to those of skill in the art and described in the previously cited Greene publication. Thus, the Boc protecting group is removed under acidic conditions, such as 4 M HCl in dioxane or TFA in CH2C1,, and the methyl ester is hydrolyzed as generally described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of 1-7 to 1-8.
Scheme VI
a) 3-butyne-l-ol, (PPh3)2PdCl2, PPh3, Cul, Et3N; b) H2, 10% Pd/C, EtOH; c) 2,2,6,6- tetramethyl-oxopiperidinium chloride, CH2C12, then NaClO2, NajHPO3, 2-methyl-2- butene, H2O; d) isobutyl chloroformate, Et3N, then 1,2-phenylenediamine, then AcOH; e) 1.0 N LiOH, THF, H2O; f) TFA, CH2C12. Compound VI-1, the preparation of which is described in Scheme V, is reacted with 3-butyne-l-ol in the presence of a catalytic amount of a palladium salt, usually bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride ((PPh3)2PdCl2), together with a catalytic amount of copper (I) iodide (Cul), in an amine solvent, such as triethylamine (Et3N), to afford VI-2. A phosphine ligand, such as triphenylphosphine (PPh3), can be added to improve the efficiency of the reaction. Reduction of the acetylenic unit of VI-2 is accomplished under standard hydrogenation conditions which are well-known to those of skill in the art. The resulting compound, VI-3, is oxididized to the corresponding carboxylic acid VI-4, by the two-step method described by Wovkulich (J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 832-839). Many alternative methods for the oxidation of a primary alcohol to the corresponding carboxylic acid have been described, and can be found in such reference volumes as "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods" (published by Wiley-Interscience). Conversion of the carboxylic acid of VI-4 to the benzimidazole derivative VI-5 follows the procedures described in the above
Schemes. The methyl ester of VI-5 is removed as described in the above Schemes, and the Boc protecting group is removed under acidic conditions, such as 4 M HCl in dioxane or TFA in CH2C12, to afford VI-6.
Scheme VII

Commercially available 4-pentenoic acid (VII-1) is converted to the benzimidazole derivative VII -2 using to the general procedures described previously. Protection of one of the nitrogen atoms of the benzimidazole moiety in VII -2 can be accomplished by reaction with a sulfonyl chloride, for instance p- toluenesulfonyl chloride, in the presence of a suitable base, generally sodium hydride or an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide, in an inert solvent, preferably THF, to afford VII -3. Alternative protecting groups known to those of skill in the art may be used, as long as they are compatible with the subsequent chemistry and can be removed when desired. Such protecting groups are described in Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" (published by Wiley-Interscience). Oxidative cleavage of the olefin of VII -3 to afford the aldehyde VII -4 can be conveniently accomplished by ozonolysis in an inert solvent, usually CH2C12 or a mixture of CH2C12 and MeOH, followed by in-situ reduction of the ozonide with a suitable reducing agent, generally dimethylsulfide (DMS) or triphenylphosphine. Alternative methods for oxidative cleavage, such as the Lemieux-Johnson reaction (J. Org.
Chem. 1956, 21, 478) can also be used. The aldehyde is converted to the aldoxime VII -5 by standard procedures known to those of skill in the art, and this aldoxime is oxidized to the oximinoyl chloride derivative VII -6 by the methods described in WO 95/14682 and WO 95/14683. Reaction of VII -6 with an olefin, such as tert- butyl 3-butenoate (Tet. Lett. 1985, 26, 381-384), in the presence of a suitable base, for instance triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine, in an inert solvent such as benzene or toluene, according to the protocol described in WO 95/14682 and WO 95/14683, gives the cycloadduct 1-7. The tert-butyl ester of VII -7 is removed under standard acidic conditions, generally TFA in CH2C12 or HCl in dioxane, to give the carboxylic acid VII -8. The carboxylic acid is activated using, for example, EDC and HOBt, or SOCl2, and the activated form is subsequently reacted with an appropriate amine, for instance a suitable derivative of β-alanine, in a neutral solvent, such as DMF, CH2C12, or CH3CN, to afford VII -9. Depending on whether acid neutralization is required, an added base, such as diisopropylethylamine ((i- Pr)2NEt) or pyridine, may be used. Many additional methods for converting a carboxylic acid to an amide are known, and can be found in standard reference books, such as "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods", Vol. I - VI (published by Wiley-Interscience), or Bodansky, "The Practice of Peptide Synthesis" (published by Springer- Verlag). Derivatives of β-alanine are readily available in either racemic or optically pure form by a variety of methods known to those of skill in the art. A representative method is described in WO 93/07867. The ethyl ester and sulfonyl protecting groups of VII -9 are removed using aqueous base, for example, LiOH in aqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol. The intermediate carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for instance TFA or HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid VII -10. Alternatively, the intermediate carboxylate salt can be isolated, if desired, or a carboxylate salt of the free carboxylic acid can be prepared by methods well-known to those of skill in the art.

Following the procedures of US 5403836 and WO 9504057, except starting from 2-amino-4-iodobenzoic acid (VIII-1) rather than 2-amino-5-iodobenzoic acid, compound VIII -5 is prepared. Reaction of VIII -5 with an appropriate amine, for instance 2-(methylaminomethyl)benzimidazole, in a carbon monoxide atmosphere, in the presence of a palladium catalyst, preferably (Ph3P)2PdCl2, in an inert solvent, optimally l-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) gives the amide VIII -6. Depending on whether acid neutralization is required, an added base, such as diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) or pyridine, may be used. The benzyl ester of VIII -6 is removed to afford VIII -7 under standard hydrogenolysis conditions well-known to those of skill in the art. Alternatively, the benzyl ester can be saponified using aqueous base, for example, LiOH in aqueous THF, or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol. The intermediate carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for instance TFA or HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid. If desired, the intermediate carboxylate salt of VIII -7 can be isolated, or a suitable salt of the carboxylic acid can be prepared by methods well-known to those of skill in the art.

Reductive amination of the readily available l-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-4- piperidone (X-l, EPA 0 542 363 A2) with commercially available 1-Boc-piperazine and an appropriate reducing agent, preferably sodium cyanoborohydride, affords amine X-2. The reaction is generally conducted under acidic catalysis, usually with HCl, in a hydroxylic solvent, for instance methanol or ethanol. The Boc protecting group is removed under acidic conditions, preferably HCl/dioxane or TFA, in a suitable solvent, such as CH2C12, to the give amine X-3. This reacts with 2-(2- chloroethyl)benzimidazole (X-5) in the presence of an appropriate acid scavenger, for instance diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), in a polar solvent, preferably DMF, to give the coupled product X-6. 2-(2-Chloroethyl)benzimidazole can be prepared from 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzimidazole by reaction with a suitable halogenating reagent, such as thionyl chloride, or carbon tetrachloride in the presence of triphenylphosphine, in an inert solvent, for example CH2C12. The ethyl ester of X-6 is removed using aqueous base, for example, LiOH in aqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol.

Alternatively, the palladium catalyzed carbonylation reaction with the triflate exemplified by compound XXVb- 1, or XXVc-1, may be trapped with said aminomethyl compound to provide, after deesterification, the corresponding 6-aminoacyl compound, XXVb-4 or XXVc-4.
Amide coupling reagents as used herein denote reagents which may be used to form peptide bonds. Typical coupling methods employ carbodiimides, activated anhydrides and esters and acyl halides. Reagents such as EDC, DCC, DPPA, PPA, BOP reagent, HOBt, N-hydroxysuccinimide and oxalyl chloride are typical.
Coupling methods to form peptide bonds are generally well known to the art. The methods of peptide synthesis generally set forth by Bodansky et al, THE PRACTICE OF PEPTIDE SYNTHESIS, Springer- Verlag, Berlin, 1984, Ali et al. in J. Med. Chem., 29, 984 (1986) and J. Med. Chem., 30, 2291 (1987) are generally illustrative of the technique and are incorporated herein by reference.
Typically, the amine or aniline is coupled via its free amino group to an appropriate carboxylic acid substrate using a suitable carbodiimide coupling agent, such as N,N' dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC), optionally in the presence of catalysts such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP). Other methods, such as the formation of activated esters, anhydrides or acid halides, of the free carboxyl of a suitably protected acid substrate, and subsequent reaction with the free amine of a suitably protected amine, optionally in the presence of a base, are also suitable. For example, a protected Boc-amino acid or Cbz-amidino benzoic acid is treated in an anhydrous solvent, such as methylene chloride or tetrahydrofuran(THF), in the presence of a base, such as N-methyl morpholine, DMAP or a trialkylamine, with isobutyl chloroformate to form the "activated anhydride", which is subsequently reacted with the free amine of a second protected amino acid or aniline.
The compounds of formula (XIX) and (XX) are commercially available or are prepared by methods known in the art such as illustrated herein disclosed in standard reference books, like the COMPENDIUM OF ORGANIC SYNTHETIC METHODS, Vol. I-VI (Wiley-Interscience). A generally applicable route to benzimidazoles is disclosed in Nestor et al, J. Med. Chem. 1984, 27, 320. Representative methods for preparing compounds of formula (XX) are also common to the art and may be found, for instance, in EP-A 0 381 033.
Acid addition salts of the compounds are prepared in a standard manner in a suitable solvent from the parent compound and an excess of an acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydrofluoric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, trifluoroacetic, maleic, succinic or methanesulfonic. Certain of the compounds form inner salts or zwitterions which may be acceptable. Cationic salts are prepared by treating the parent compound with an excess of an alkaline reagent, such as a hydroxide, carbonate or alkoxide, containing the appropriate cation; or with an appropriate organic amine. Cations such as Li+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg"1-*" and NH4+ are specific examples of cations present in pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
This invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound according to formula (I)-(V) and (XXI)-(XXII) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Accordingly, the compounds of formula (I)-(V) and (XXI)- (XXII) may be used in the manufacture of a medicament. Pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds of formula (I)-(V) and (XXI)-(XXII) prepared as hereinbefore described may be formulated as solutions or lyophilized powders for parenteral administration. Powders may be reconstituted by addition of a suitable diluent or other pharmaceutically acceptable carrier prior to use. The liquid formulation may be a buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution. Examples of suitable diluents are normal isotonic saline solution, standard 5% dextrose in water or buffered sodium or ammonium acetate solution. Such formulation is especially suitable for parenteral administration, but may also be used for oral administration or contained in a metered dose inhaler or nebulizer for insufflation. It may be desirable to add excipients such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, hydroxy cellulose, acacia, polyethylene glycol, mannitol, sodium chloride or sodium citrate.
Alternately, these compounds may be encapsulated, tableted or prepared in a emulsion or syrup for oral administration. Pharmaceutically acceptable solid or liquid carriers may be added to enhance or stabilize the composition, or to facilitate preparation of the composition. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, calcium sulfate dihydrate, terra alba, magnesium stearate or stearic acid, talc, pectin, acacia, agar or gelatin. Liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, saline and water. The carrier may also include a sustained release material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or with a wax. The amount of solid carrier varies but, preferably, will be between about 20 mg to about 1 g per dosage unit. The pharmaceutical preparations are made following the conventional techniques of pharmacy involving milling, mixing, granulating, and compressing, when necessary, for tablet forms; or milling, mixing and filling for hard gelatin capsule forms. When a liquid carrier is used, the preparation will be in the form of a syrup, elixir, emulsion or an aqueous or non-aqueous suspension. Such a liquid formulation may be administered directly p.o. or filled into a soft gelatin capsule. For rectal administration, the compounds of this invention may also be combined with excipients such as cocoa butter, glycerin, gelatin or polyethylene glycols and molded into a suppository.
The compounds described herein are antagonists of the vitronectin receptor, and are useful for treating diseases wherein the underlying pathology is attributable to ligand or cell which interacts with the vitronectin receptor. For instance, these compounds are useful for the treatment of diseases wherein loss of the bone matrix creates pathology. Thus, the instant compounds are useful for the treatment of ostoeporosis, hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia of malignancy, osteolytic lesions produced by bone metastasis, bone loss due to immobilization or sex hormone deficiency. The compounds of this invention are also believed to have utility as antitumor, anti-angiogenic, antiinflammatory and anti-metastatic agents, and be useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis and restenosis.
The compound is administered either orally or parenterally to the patient, in a manner such that the concentration of drug is sufficient to inhibit bone resorption, or other such indication. The pharmaceutical composition containing the peptide is administered at an oral dose of between about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg in a manner consistent with the condition of the patient. Preferably the oral dose would be about 0.5 to about 20 mg/kg. For acute therapy, parenteral administration is preferred. An intravenous infusion of the peptide in 5% dextrose in water or normal saline, or a similar formulation with suitable excipients, is most effective, although an intramuscular bolus injection is also useful. Typically, the parenteral dose will be about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg; preferably between 0.1 and 20 mg/kg. The compounds are administered one to four times daily at a level to achieve a total daily dose of about 0.4 to about 400 mg/kg/day. The precise level and method by which the compounds are administered is readily determined by one routinely skilled in the art by comparing the blood level of the agent to the concentration required to have a therapeutic effect.
The compounds may be tested in one of several biological assays to determine the concentration of compound which is required to have a given pharmacological effect.
Inhibition of vitronectin binding
Solid-Phase ft HJ-SK&F- 107260 Binding to αvp3: Human placenta or human platelet αvβ3 (0.1-0.3 mg/mL) in buffer T (containing 2 mM CaCl2 and 1% octylglucoside) was diluted with buffer T containing 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MnCl2, 1 mM MgCl2 (buffer A) and 0.05% NaN3, and then immediately added to 96-well ELIS A plates (Corning, New York, NY) at 0.1 mL per well. 0.1 - 0.2 μg of αvβ3 was added per well. The plates were incubated overnight at 4°C. At the time of the experiment, the wells were washed once with buffer A and were incubated with 0.1 mL of 3.5% bovine serum albumin in the same buffer for 1 hr at room temperature. Following incubation the wells were aspirated completely and washed twice with 0.2 mL buffer A.
Compounds were dissolved in 100% DMSO to give a 2 mM stock solution, which was diluted with binding buffer (15 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MnCl2, 1 mM MgCl2) to a final compound concentration of 100 μM. This solution is then diluted to the required final compound concentration. Various concentrations of unlabeled antagonists (0.001 - 100 μM) were added to the wells in triplicates, followed by the addition of 5.0 nM of [3H]-SK&F- 107260 (65 - 86 Ci/mmol). The plates were incubated for 1 hr at room temperature. Following incubation the wells were aspirated completely and washed once with 0.2 mL of ice cold buffer A in a well-to-well fashion. The receptors were solubilized with 0.1 mL of 1% SDS and the bound [3H]-SK&F- 107260 was determined by liquid scintillation counting with the addition of 3 mL Ready Safe in a Beckman LS Liquid Scintillation Counter, with 40% efficiency. Nonspecific binding of [3H]-SK&F-
107260 was determined in the presence of 2 μM SK&F- 107260 and was consistently less than 1% of total radioligand input. The IC50 (concentration of the antagonist to inhibit 50% binding of [3H] -SK&F- 107260) was determined by a nonlinear, least squares curve-fitting routine, which was modified from the LUNDON-2 program. The Ki (dissociation constant of the antagonist) was calculated according to the equation: Kj = IC50/O + L/Kd), where L and Kd were the concentration and the dissociation constant of [3H]-SK&F- 107260, respectively.
Compounds of the present invention inhibit vitronectin binding to SK&F 107260 in the concentration range of about 0.001 to 50 micromolar. Compounds of this invention are also tested for in vitro and in vivo bone resoφtion in assays standard in the art for evaluating inhibition of bone formation, such as the pit formation assay disclosed in EP 528 587, which may also be performed using human osteoclasts in place of rat osteoclasts, and the ovarectomized rat model, described by Wronski et al, Cells and Materials 1991, Sup. 1, 69-74. Vascular smooth muscle cell migration assay
Rat or human aortic smooth muscle cells were used. The cell migration was monitored in a Transwell cell culture chamber by using a polycarbonate membrane with pores of 8 um (Costar). The lower surface of the filter was coated with vitronectin. Cells were suspended in DMEM supplemented with 0.2% bovine serum albumin at a concentration of 2.5 - 5.0 x 106 cells/mL, and were pretreated with test compound at various concentrations for 20 min at 20°C. The solvent alone was used as control. 0.2 mL of the cell suspension was placed in the upper compartment of the chamber. The lower compartment contained 0.6 mL of DMEM supplemented with 0.2% bovine serum albumin. Incubation was carried out at 37°C in an atmosphere of 95% air/5% CO2 for 24 hr. After incubation, the non-migrated cells on the upper surface of the filter were removed by gentle scraping. The filter was then fixed in methanol and stained with 10% Giemsa stain. Migration was measured either by a) counting the number of cells that had migrated to the lower surface of the filter or by b) extracting the stained cells with 10% acetic acid followed by determining the absorbance at 600 nM.
PARATHYROIDECTOMIZED RAT MODEL
Each experimental group consists of 5-6 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats are parathyroidectomized (by the vendor, Taconic Farms) 7 days prior to use. Twenty four hours prior to use, circulating ionized calcium levels are measured in whole blood immediately after it has been withdrawn by tail venipuncture into heparinized tubes. Rats are included if ionized Ca level (measured with a Ciba-Corning model 634 calcium pH analyzer) is _1.2 mM/L. The rats are then put on a diet of calcium-free chow and deionized water. At the start of the experiment the rats weigh approximately lOOg. Baseline Ca levels are measured and the rats are administered control vehicle (saline) or compound (dissolved in saline) as a single intravenous (tail vein) bolus injection followed immediately by a single subcutaneous injection of either human parathyroid hormone 1-34 peptide (hPTHl-34, dose 0.2mg/kg in saline/0.1% bovine serum albumen, Bachem, Ca) or the PTH vehicle. The calcemic response to PTH (and any effect of compound on this response) is measured 2h after compound/PTH administration.
RAT ULNA DRIFT MODEL
Each experimental group consists of 8-10 male Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats of approximately 30-40g body weight at the start of the experiment. The agent being tested is administered by an appropriate route as single or multiple daily doses for a period of seven days. Prior to administration of the first dose, the rats are given a single dose of a fluorescent marker (tetracycline 25mg/kg, or calcein lOmg/kg) that labels the position of bone forming surfaces at that point in time. After dosing of compound has been completed, the rats are killed and both forelimbs are removed at the elbow, the foot is removed at the ankle and the skin removed. The sample is frozen and mounted vertically on a microtome chuck. Cross sections of the midshaft region of the ulna are cut in the cryostat. The rate of bone resorption is measured morphometrically in the medial-dorsal portion of the cortical bone. The measurement is done as follows: the amount of bone resorbed at the periosteal surface is equal to the distance by which the periosteal surface has advanced towards the fluorescent label which had been incorporated at the endosteal bone formation surface on day zero; this distance is calculated by subtracting the width of bone between the label and the periosteal surface on day 7 from the width on day zero; the resoφtion rate in microns per day is calculated by dividing the result by 7.

Human osteoclast resorption and adhesion assays Pit resoφtion and adhesion assays have been developed and standardized using normal human osteoclasts derived from osteoclastoma tissue. The osteoclast population is negatively selected from the osteoclastoma cell suspensions using magnetic beads (Dynal Inc, NY). These beads are coated with a murine monoclonal antibody that recognizes a human class II major histocompatibility antigen that is present on a large number of mononuclear cells in the cell suspensions. The cells that express this antigen, and consequently bind the beads, are removed from the mixture of cells using a magnet. The osteoclast-rich suspension is then ready to use in the assays detailed below.
Resorption assay (with ELISA readout) Enriched preparations of osteoclasts are preincubated for 30 minutes at 37°C with test compound (4 doses) or controls. They are then seeded onto bovine cortical bone slices in wells of a 48-well tissue culture plate and are incubated for a further 2 hours at 37°C. The bone slices are washed in six changes of warm phosphate buffered saline (PBS), to remove non-adherent cells, and are then returned to wells of a 48 well plate containing fresh compound or controls. The tissue culture plate is then incubated for 48 hours at 37"C. The supernatants from each well are aspirated into individual tubes and are screened in a competitive ELISA that detects a collagen peptide that is released during the resoφtion process. This is a commercially available ELISA (Osteometer, Denmark) that contains a rabbit antibody that specifically reacts with an 8-amino acid sequence (Glu-Lys-Ala-His- Asp-Gly-Gly- Arg) that is present in the carboxy-terminal telopeptide of the αl -chain of type I collagen. The results are expressed as % inhibition of resoφtion compared to a vehicle control.
Adhesion assay
Osteoclastoma-derived osteoclasts are preincubated with compound (4 doses) or controls at 37°C for 30 minutes. The cells are then seeded onto osteopontin-coated slides (human or rat osteopontin, 2.5ug/ml) and incubated for 2 hours at 37"C. Non adherent cells are removed by washing the slides vigorously in PBS and the cells remaining on the slides are fixed in acetone. The osteoclasts are stained for tartrate- resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), a selective marker for cells of this phenotype, and are enumerated by light microscopy. The results are expressed as % inhibition of adhesion compared to a vehicle control. Inhibition of RGD-mediated GPIIb-HIa binding
Purification of GPIIb-HIa
Ten units of outdated, washed human platelets (obtained from Red Cross) were lyzed by gentle stirring in 3% octylglucoside, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaC^ at 4°C for 2 h. The lysate was centrifuged at 100,000g for 1 h. The supernatant obtained was applied to a 5 mL lentil lectin sepharose 4B column (E.Y. Labs) preequilibrated with 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCh, 1% octylglucoside (buffer A). After 2 h incubation, the column was washed with 50 mL cold buffer A. The lectin-retained GPIIb-IIIa was eluted with buffer A containing 10% dextrose. All procedures were performed at 4°C. The GPIIb-IIIa obtained was >95% pure as shown by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
Incoφoration of GPIIb-IIIa in Liposomes.
A mixture of phosphatidylserine (70%) and phosphatidylcholine (30%) (Avanti Polar Lipids) were dried to the walls of a glass tube under a stream of nitrogen. Purified GPIIb-IIIa was diluted to a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and mixed with the phospholipids in a proteimphospholipid ratio of 1:3 (w:w). The mixture was resuspended and sonicated in a bath sonicator for 5 min. The mixture was then dialyzed overnight using 12,000-14,000 molecular weight cutoff dialysis tubing against a 1000-fold excess of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaC12 (with 2 changes). The GPIIb-IIIa-containing liposomes wee centrifuged at 12,000g for 15 min and resuspended in the dialysis buffer at a final protein concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL. The liposomes were stored at -70C until needed.
Competitive Binding to GPIIb-IIIa
The binding to the fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb-IIIa) was assayed by an indirect competitive binding method using [3H]-SK&F- 107260 as an RGD-type ligand. The binding assay was performed in a 96-well filtration plate assembly (Millipore Coφoration, Bedford, MA) using 0.22 um hydrophilic durapore membranes. The wells were precoated with 0.2 mL of 10 μg/mL polylysine (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO.) at room temperature for 1 h to block nonspecific binding. Various concentrations of unlabeled benzadiazapines were added to the wells in quadruplicate. [3H]-SK&F- 107260 was applied to each well at a final concentration of 4.5 nM, followed by the addition of 1 μg of the purified platelet GPIIb-IHa-containing liposomes. The mixtures were incubated for 1 h at room temperature. The GPIIb-IIIa-bound [3H]-SK&F- 107260 was seperated from the unbound by filtration using a Millipore filtration manifold, followed by washing with ice-cold buffer (2 times, each 0.2 mL). Bound radioactivity remaining on the filters was counted in 1.5 mL Ready Solve (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA) in a Beckman Liquid Scintillation Counter (Model LS6800), with 40% efficiency. Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 2 μM unlabeled SK&F- 107260 and was consistently less than 0.14% of the total radioactivity added to the samples. All data points are the mean of quadruplicate determinations.
Competition binding data were analyzed by a nonlinear least- squares curve fitting procedure. This method provides the IC50 of the antagonists (concentration of the antagonist which inhibits specific binding of [3H]-SK&F- 107260 by 50% at equilibrium). The IC50 is related to the equilibrium dissociation constant (Ki) of the antagonist based on the Cheng and Prusoff equation: Ki = IC50/(l+IJKd), where L is the concentration of [3HJ-SK&F- 107260 used in the competitive binding assay (4.5 nM), and Kd is the dissociation constant of [3H]- SK&F- 107260 which is 4.5 nM as determined by Scatchard analysis Compounds of the present invention inhibit the vitronectin binding to SK&F
007260 with a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is about ten-fold greater than that for the fibrinogen receptor. Preferred compounds have a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is thirty-fold greater than that at the fibrinogen receptor. The most preferred compounds have a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is a hundred-fold greater than that at the fibrinogen receptor.
