Description
Title : Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteases by acetylene containing compounds
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to enzyme inhibitors, and more particularly, to novel biaryl acetylene containing compounds or derivatives thereof useful for inhibiting matrix metalloproteases.
Description of the Related Art
The matrix metalloproteases (a.k.a. matrix metal loendo-proteinases or MMPs) are a family of zinc endoproteinases which include, but are not limited to, interstitial collagenase (a.k.a., MMP-1 ), stromelysin (a.k.a., proteoglycanase, transin, or MMP-3), gelatinase A (a.k.a.,
72kDa-gelatinase or MMP-2) and gelatinase B (a.k.a., 95kDa-gelatinase or MMP-9). These MMPs are secreted by a variety of cells including fibroblasts and chondrocytes, along with natural proteinaceous inhibitors known as TIMPs (Tissue Inhibitor of MetalloProteinase).
All of these MMPs are capable of destroying a variety of connective tissue components of articular cartilage or basement membranes. Each MMP is secreted as an inactive proenzyme which must be cleaved in a subsequent step before it is able to exert its own proteolytic activity. In addition to the matrix destroying effect, certain of these MMPs such as MMP-3 have been implemented as the in vivo activator for other MMPs such as MMP-1 and MMP-9 (Ito, et al., Arch
Biochem Biophys.267, 211, 1988; Ogata, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 267, 3581, 1992). Thus, a cascade of proteolytic activity can be initiated by an excess of MMP-3. It follows that specific MMP-3 inhibitors should limit the activity of other MMPs that are not directly inhibited by such inhibitors.
It has also been reported that MMP-3 can cleave and thereby inactivate the endogenous inhibitors of other proteinases such as elastase (Winyard, et al., FEBS Letts. 279, 1, 91, 1991).
Inhibitors of MMP-3 could thus influence the activity of other destructive proteinases by modifying the level of their endogenous inhibitors.
A number of diseases are thought to be mediated by excess or undesired matrix -destroying meulloprotease activity or by an imbalance in the ratio of the MMPs to the TIMPs These include: a) osteoarthritis (Woessner, et al., J. Biol.Chem. 259(6), 3633, 1984, Phadke, et al., J. Rheumatol.
10, 852, 1983), b) rheumatoid arthritis (Mullins, et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 695, 1 17, 1983; Woolley, et al., Arthritis Rheum. 20, 1231, 1977; Gravallese. et al. , Arthritis Rheum 34, 1076, 1991 ), c) septic arthritis (Williams, et al., Arthritis Rheum. 33, 533, 1990), d) tumor metastasis ( Reich, et al., Cancer Res. 48, 3307, 1988, and Matrisian. et al., Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci., USA 83, 9413, 1986), e) periodontal diseases (Overall, et al., J. Periodontal Res. 22, 81 , 1987), f) corneal ulceration (Burns, et al., Invest. Opthalmol. Vis. Sci. 30, 1569, 1989), g) proteinuria (Baricos, et al., Biochem. J . 254, 609, 1988), h) coronary thrombosis from atherosclerotic plaque rupture (Henney, et al., Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci., USA 88, 8154-8158. 1991), i) aneurysmal aortic disease (Vine, et al., Clin. Sci. 81, 233, 1991), j) birth control (Woessner, et al., Steroids 54, 491, 1989), k) dystrophobic epidermolysis bullosa (Kronberger, et al., J. Invest. Dermatol. 79, 208, 1982), and l) degenerative cartilage loss following traumatic joint injury, m) conditions leading to inflammatory responses, osteopenias mediated by MMP activity, n) tempero mandibular joint disease, o) demyelating diseases of the nervous system (Chantry, et al., J. Neurochem. 50, 688, 1988).
The need for new therapies is especially important in the case of arthritic diseases. The primary disabling effect of osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and septic arthritis is the progressive loss of articular cartilage and thereby normal joint function. No marketed pharmaceutical agent is able to prevent or slow this cartilage loss, although nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAlDs) have been given to control pain and swelling. The end result of these diseases is total loss of joint function which is only treatable by joint replacement surgery. MMP inhibitors are expected to halt or reverse the progression of cartilage loss and obviate or delay surgical intervention.
Proteases are critical elements at several stages in the progression of metastatic cancer. In this process, the proteolytic degradation of structural protein in the basal membrane allows for expansion of a tumor in the primary site, evasion from this site as well as homing and invasion in distant, secondary sites. Also, tumor induced angiogenesis is required for tumor growth and is dependent on proteolytic tissue remodeling. Transfection experiments with various types of proteases have shown that the matrix metalloproteases play a dominant role in these processes in particular gelatinases A and B (MMP-2 and MMP-9, respectively). For an overview of this field see Mullins, et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 695, 177, 1983; Ray, et al., Eur. Respir. J. 7, 2062, 1994; Birkedal-Hansen, et al., Crit. Rev. Oral Biol. Med. 4, 197, 1993.
Furthermore, it was demonstrated that inhibition of degradation of extracellular matrix by the native matrix metalloprotease inhibitor TIMP-2 (a protein) arrests cancer growth (DeClerck, et al., Cancer Res. 52, 701, 1992) and that TIMP-2 inhibits tumor-induced angiogenesis in experimental systems (Moses, et al. Science 248, 1408, 1990). For a review, see DeClerck, et al., Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 732, 222, 1994. It was further demonstrated that the synthetic matrix metalloprotease inhibitor batimastat when given intraperitoneally inhibits human colon tumor growth and spread in an orthotopic model in nude mice (Wang, et al. Cancer Res.54, 4726, 1994) and prolongs the survival of mice bearing human ovarian carcinoma xenografts (Davies, et. al.,
Cancer Res. 53, 2087, 1993). The use of this and related compounds has been described in Brown, et al., WO-9321942 A2.
There are several patents and patent applications claiming the use of metailoproteinase inhibitors for the retardation of metastatic cancer, promoting tumor regression, inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, slowing or preventing cartilage loss associated with osteoarthritis or for treatment of other diseases as noted above (e.g. Levy, et al., WO-9519965 A1; Beckett, et al. , WO-9519956 A1 ; Beckett et al., WO-9519957 A1 ; Beckett, et al., WO-9519961 A1 ; Brown, et al., WO-9321942 A2; Crimmin. et al., WO-9421625 A1 ; Dickens, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,599,361 ; Hughes, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,190,937, Broadhurst, et al., EP 574758 A1 ; Broadhurst, et al., EP 276436; and Myers, et al., EP 520573 A1. The preferred compounds of these patents have peptide backbones with a zinc complexin g group (hydroxamic acid, thiol, carboxylic acid or phosphinic acid) at one end and a variety of sidechains, both those found in the natural amino acids as well as those with more novel functional groups. Such small peptides are often poorly absorbed, exhibiting low oral bioavailability. They are also subject to rapid proteolytic metabolism, thus having short half lives. As an example, batimastat, the compound described in Brown, et al., WO-9321942 A2, can only be given intra peritoneally.
Certain 3-biphenoylpropanoic and 4-biaryloylbutanoic acids are described in the literature as anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-phlogistic, anti-proliferative, hypolipidemic, antirheumatic, analgesic, and hypocholesterolemic agents. In none of these examples is a reference made to MMP inhibition as a mechanism for the claimed therapeutic effect. Certain related compounds are also used as intermediates in the preparation of liquid crystals.
Specifically. Tomcufcik, et al., US patent 3,784,701 claims certain substituted benzoylpropionic acids to treat inflammation and pain. These compounds include 3-biphenoylpropanoic acid (a.k.a. fenbufen) shown below.
Child, et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 66 , 466, 1977 describes structure-activity relationships of several analogs of fenbufen. These include several compounds in which the biphenyl ring system is substituted or the propanoic acid portion is substituted with phenyl, halogen, hydroxyl or methyl, or the carboxylic acid or carbonyl functions are converted to a variety of derivatives. No compounds are described which contain a 4'-substituted biphenyl and a substituted propanoic acid portion combined in one molecule. The phenyl (compounds XLIX and LXXVII) and methyl (compound XLVII) substituted compounds shown below were described as inactive.
Kameo, et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull.36, 2050, 1988 and Tomizawa, et al., JP patent 62132825 A2 describe certain substituted 3-biphenoylpropionic acid derivatives and analogs thereof including
the following. Various compounds with other substituents on the propionic acid portion are described, but they do not contain biphenyl residues.
wherein X = H, 4'-Br, 4'-Cl, 4'-CH3, or 2'-Br.
Cousse, et al., Eur. J. Med. Chem.22, 45, 1987 describe the following methyl and methylene substituted 3-biphenoyl-propanoic and -propenoic acids. The corresponding compounds in which the carbonyl is replaced with either CH2OH or CH2 are also described.
wherein X = H, Cl, Br, CH, O, F, or NH2.
Nichl, et al. DE patent 1957750 also describes certain of the above methylene substituted biphenoylpropanoic acids.
EI-Hashash, et al., Revue Roum. Chim. 23, 1581, 1978 describe products derived from β-aroyl-acrylic acid epoxides including the following biphenyl compound. No compounds substituted on the biphenyl portion are described.
Kitamura, et al., JP patent 60209539 describes certain biphenyl compounds used as intermediates for the production of liquid crystals including the following. The biphenyl is not substituted in these intermediates.
wherein R' is an alkyl of 1-10 carbobs.
Thyes. et al., DE patent 2854475 uses the following compound as an intermediate. The biphenyl group is not substituted.
Sammour, et al., Egypt J. Chem. 15, 311, 1972 and Couquelet, et al., Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 9, 3196, 1971 describe certain dialkylamino substituted biphenoylpropanoic acids including the following. In no case is the biphenyl group substituted.
wherein R1, R2 = alkyl, benzyl, H, or, together with the nitrogen, morpholinyl.
Others have disclosed a series of biphenyl-containing carboxylic acids, illustrated by the compound shown below, which inhibit neural endopeptidase (NEP 24.1 1 ), a membrane-bound zinc metalloprotease (Stanton, et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 4, 539, 1994; Lombaert. et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 4, 2715, 1994: Lombaert, et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 5, 145, 1995: Lombaert, et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett, 5, 151, 1995).
It has been reported that N-carboxyalkyl derivatives containing a biphenylethylglycine. illustrated by the compound shown below, are inhibitors of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3), 72 kDA gelatinase (MMP-2) and collagenase (Durette, et al., WO-9529689).
It would be desirable to have effective MMP inhibitors which possess improved bioavailability and biological stability relative to the peptide-based compounds of the prior art, and
which can be optimized for use against particular target MMPs. Such compounds are the subject of the present application.
The development of efficacious MMP inhibitors would afford new therapies for diseases mediated by the presence of, or an excess of MMP activity, including osteoarthritis. rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis. tumor metastasis, periodontal diseases, corneal ulcerations, and proteinuria, Several inhibitors of MMPs have been described in the literature, including thiols (Beszant, et al., J. Med. Chem. 36, 4030, 1993), hydroxamic acids (Wahl, et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 5, 349, 1995; Conway, et al. J. Exp. Med. 182, 449, 1995; Porter, et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 4, 2741 , 1994; Tomczuk, et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 5, 343, 1995; Castelhano, et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem Lett. 5, 1415, 1995), phosphorous-based acids (Bird, et al. J. Med. Chem. 37, 158, 1994;
Morphy, et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 4, 2747, 1994; Kortylewicz, et al., J. Med. Chem. 33, 263, 1990), and carboxylic acids (Chapman, et al. J. Med. Chem. 36, 4293, 1993; Brown, et al., J. Med. Chem. 37, 674, 1994; Morphy. et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 4, 2747, 1994; Stack, et al., .Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 287, 240, 1991 ; Ye, et al., J. Med. Chem. 37, 206, 1994; Grobelny, et al., Biochemistry 24, 6145, 1985; Mookhtiar, et al., Biochemistry 27, 4299, 1988). However, these inhibitors generally contain peptidic backbones, and thus usually exhibit low oral bioactivity due to poor absorption and short half lives due to rapid proteolysis. Therefore, there remains a need for improved MMP inhibitors. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention provides compounds having matrix metalloprotease inhibitory activity. These compounds are useful for inhibiting matrix metalloproteases and, therefore, combating conditions
to which MMP's contribute. Accordingly, the present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating such conditions.
The compounds described relate to a method of treating a mammal comprising administering to the mammal a matrix metalloprotease inhibiting amount of a compound according to the invention sufficient to:
(a) alleviate the effects of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, periodontal disease, corneal ulceration, proteinuria, aneurysmal aortic disease, dystrophobic epidermolysis, bullosa, conditions leading to inflammatory responses, osteopenias mediated by MMP activity, tempero mandibular joint disease, demyelating diseases of the nervous system;
(b) retard tumor metastasis or degenerative cartilage loss following traumatic joint injury;
(c) reduce coronary thrombosis from athrosclerotic plaque rupture; or
(d) effect birth control
The compounds of the present invention are also useful scientific research tools for studying functions and mechanisms of action of matrix metalloproteases in both in vtvo and in vitro systems.
Because of their MMP-inhibiting activity, the present compounds can be used to modulate MMP action, thereby allowing the researcher to observe the effects of reduced MMP activity in the experimental biological system under study.
This invention relates to compounds having matrix metalloprotease inhibitory activity and the generalized formula:
TxA-B-D-E-G. (L)
In the above generalized formula (L), TxA represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic 6-membered ring or heteroaromatic 5 - 6 membered ring containing 1 - 2 atoms independently selected from the group of N, O, or S T represents a substituted acetylenic moiety.
In the generalized formula (L), B represents an aromatic 6-membered ring or a heteroaromatic 5 - 6 membered ring containing 1 - 2 atoms independently selected from the group of N, O, or S. It is referred to as the B ring or B unit. When N is employed in conjunction with either S or O in the B ring, these heteroatoms are separated by at least one carbon atom.
In the generalized formula (L), D represents /
In the generalized formula (L), E represents a chain of n carbon atoms bearing m substituents R6 in which the R6 groups are independent substituents. or constitute spiro or nonspiro rings. Rings may be formed in two ways: a) two groups R6 are joined, and taken together with the chain atom(s) to which the two R6 group(s) are attached, and any intervening chain atoms, constitute a 3 - 7 membered ring, or b) one group R6 is joined to the chain on which this one group R6 resides, and taken together with the chain atom(s) to which the R6 group is attached, and any intervening chain atoms, constitutes a 3 - 7 membered ring. The number n of carbon atoms in the chain is 2 or 3, and the number m of R6 substituents is an integer of 1 - 3. The number of carbons in the totality of R6 groups is at least two.
Each group R6 is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heteroaryl, non-aromatic cyclic, and combinations thereof optionally substituted with one or more heteroatoms as described more fully below. In the
generalized formula (L), E is a substituted mono- or bicyclic moiety optionally substituted with one or more heteroatoms.

in which M represents -CO2H, -CON(R11)2 or -CO2R 12, and R13 represents any of the side chains of the 19 noncyciic naturally occurring amino acids.
The most preferred compounds of the invention are:
where R15 is selected from the group comprising: HOCH2, MeOCH2, (n-Pr)2NCH2, CH3CO2CH2, EtOCO2CH2, HO(CH2)2, CH3CO2(CH2)2, HO2C(CH2)2, OHC(CH2)3, HO(CH2), Ph, 3-HO-Ph, and PhCH2OCH2; and R16 is
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these compounds are also within the scope of the invention.
In most related reference compounds of the prior art, the biphenyl portion of the molecule is unsubstituted, and the propanoic or butanoic acid portion is either unsubstituted or has a single methyl or phenyl group. Presence of the larger phenyl group has been reported to cause prior art compounds to be inactive as anti-inflammatory analgesic agents. See, for example, Child, et al., J.
Pharm. Sci. 66, 466 (1977). By contrast, it has now been found that compounds which exhibit potent MMP inhibitory activity contain a substiruent of significant size on the propanoic or butanoic portion of the molecule. The biphenyl portions of the best MMP inhibitors also preferably contain a substituent on the 4' position, although when the propanoic or butanoic portions are optimally substituted, the unsubstituted biphenyl compounds of the invention have sufficient activity to be considered realistic drug candidates.
The foregoing merely summanzes certain aspects of the present invention and is not intended, nor should it be construed, to limit the invention in any way. All of the patents and other publications recited in this specification are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

General Preparative Methods:
The compounds of the invention may be prepared readily by use of known chemical reactions and procedures. Nevertheless, the following general preparative methods are presented to aid the reader in synthesizing the inhibitors, with more detailed particular examples being presented below in the experimental section describing the working examples. All variable groups of these methods are as described in the generic description if they are not specifically defined below. The variable subscript n is independently defined for each method. When a variable group
with a given symbol (i.e R9) is used more than once in a given structure, it is to be understood that each of these groups may be independently varied within the range of definitions for that symbol.
General Method A - The compounds of this invention in which the rings A and B are substituted phenyl and phenylene respectively are conveniently prepared by use of a Friedel-Crafts reaction of a substituted biphenyl MII with an activated acyl-containing intermediate such as the succinic or glutaric anhydride derivative MIII or acid chioride MIV in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum trichloride in an aprotic solvent such as 1,1 ,2,2-tetrachloroethane. The well known Friedel-Crafts reaction can be accomplished with use of many alternative solvents and acid catalysts as described by Berliner, Org. React., 5, 229, 1949 and Heaney, Comp. Org. Synth. 2, 733, 1991.
If the anhydride MIII is monosubstituted or multiply-substituted in an unsymmetrical way, the raw product MI-A often exists as a mixture of isomers via attack of the anhydride from either of the two carbonyls. The resultant isomers can be separated into pure forms by crystallization or chromatography using standard methods known to those skilled in the art.
When they are not commercially available, the succinic anhydrides MIll can be prepared via a Stobbe Condensation of a dialkyl succinate with an aldehyde or ketone (resulting in side chain R6), followed by catalytic hydrogenation, hydrolysis of a hemiester intermediate to a diacid, and then conversion to the anhydride MIII by reaction with acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride. Alternatively, the hemiester intermediate is converted by treatment with thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride to the acid chloride MIV. For a review of the Stobbe condensation, including lists of suitable solvents and bases see Johnson and Daub, Org. React. 6, 1, 1951.
This method, as applied to the preparation of MIII (R6 = H, isobutyl and H, n-pentyl), has been described Wolanin, et al., US Patent 4,771,038.
Method A
Method A is especially useful for the preparation of cyclic compounds such as MI-A-3, in which two R6 groups are connected in a methylene chain to form a 3-7 member ring. Small ring (3-5
member) anhydrides are readily available only as cis isomers which yield cis invention compounds MI-A-3 The trans compounds Ml-A-4 are then prepared by treatment of MI-A-3 with a base such as DBU in THF. The substituted four member ring starting material anhydrides such as MIII-A-1 are formed in a photochemical 2-2 reaction as shown below This method is especially useful for the preparation of compounds in which R14 is acetoxy or acetoxymethylene. After the subsequent Friedel-Crafts reaction the acetate can be removed by basic hydrolysis and the carboxyl protected by conversion to 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl ester. The resultant intermediate with R14 = CH2OH can be converted to invention compounds with other R14 groups by using procedures described in General Method G.
The Friedel-Crafts method is also useful when double bonds are found either between C-2 and C-3 of a succinoyl chain (from maleic anhydride or 1-cyclopentene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride. for example) or when a double bond is found in a side chain, such as in the use of itaconic anhydride as starting material to yield products in which two R6 groups are found on one chain carbon together to form an exo-methylene (=CH2) group. Subsequent uses of these compounds are described in Methods D.
General Method B - Alternatively the compounds MI can be prepared via a reaction sequence involving mono-aikylation of a dialkyl malonate MVI with an alkyl halide to form intermediate MVII, followed by alkylation with a halomethyl biphenyl ketone MVIII to yield intermediate MIX. Compounds of structure MIX are then hydrolyzed with aqueous base and heated
to decarboxylate the malonic acid intermediate and yield MI-B-2 (Method B-1 ). By using one equivalent of aqueous base the esters MI-B-2 with R12 as alkyl are obtained, and using more than two equivalents of base the acid compounds (R12 = H) are obtained. Optionally, heat is not used and the diacid or acid-ester MI-B-1 is obtained.
Alternatively, the diester intermediate MIX can be heated with a strong acids such as concentrated hydrochloric acid in acetic acid in a sealed tube at about 1 10 ºC for about 24 hr to yield MI-B-1 (R12 = H). Alternatively, the reaction of MVI with MVIII can be conducted before that with the alkyl halide to yield the same MIX (Method B-2).
Alternatively, a diester intermediate MXIX, which contains R12 = allyl, can be exposed to Pd catalysts in the presence of pyrrolidine to yield MI-B-2 (R12 = H) (Dezeil, Tetrahedron Lett. 28,
4371, 1990.
Intermediates MVII are formed from biphenyls MII in a Friedel-Craft reaction with haloaceryl halides such as bromoacetyl bromide or chloroacetyl chloride. Alternatively, the biphenyl can be reacted with acetyl chlonde or acetic anhydride and the resultant product halogenated with, for example, bromine to yield intermediates MVIII (X = Br).
Method B has the advantage of yielding single regio isomers when Method A yields mixtures. Method B is especially useful when the side chains R6 contain aromatic or heteroaromatic rings that may participate in intramolecular acylation reactions to give side products if Method A were to be used. This method is also very useful when the R6 group adjacent to the carboxyl of the final compound contains heteroatoms such as oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen, or more complex functions such as imide rings.
When R6 contains selected functional groups Z, malonate MVII can be prepared by alkylating a commercially available unsubstituted malonate with prenyl or allyl halide, subject this product to ozonalysis with reductive work-up, and the desired z group can be coupled via a Mitsunobu reaction (Mitsunobu, Synthesis 1, 1981). Alternatively, the intermediate alcohol can be subjected to alkylation conditions to provide malonate MVII containing the desired Z group.
General Method C - Especially useful is the use of chiral HPLC to separate the enantiomers of racemic product mixtures (see, for example. Arit, et al., Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 12, 30, 1991). The compounds of this invention can be prepared as pure enantiomers by use of a chiral auxiliary route. See, for example. Evans, Aldrichimica Acta, 15(2), 23, 1982 and other similar references known to one skilled in the art.
General Method D - Compounds in which R6 are alkyl- or aryl- or heteroaryl- or acyl- or heteroarylcarbonyl-thiomethylene are prepared by methods analogous to those described in the patent WO 90/05719. Thus substituted itaconic anhydride MXVI (n = 1) is reacted under Friedel-Crafts conditions to yield acid MI-D-1 which can be separated by chromatography or crystallization from small amounts of isomcric MI-D-5. Alternatively, MI-D-5s are obtained by reaction of invention compounds MI-D-4 (from any of Methods A through C) with formaldehyde in the presence of base.
Compounds MI-D-1 or MI-D-5 are then reacted with a mercapto derivative MXVII or MXVIII in the presence of catalyst such as potassium carbonate, ethyldiisobutylamine, tetrabutylammonium fluoride or free radical initiators such as azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in a solvent such as diethylformamide or tetrahydrofuran to yield invention compounds MI-D-2, MI-D-3, MI-D-6, or MI-D-7.
General Method E - Biaryl compounds such as those of this application may also be prepared by Suzuki or Stille cross-coupling reactions of aryl or heteroaryl metallic compounds in which the metal is zinc, tin, magnesium, lithium, boron, silicon, copper, cadmium or the like with an aryl or heteroaryl halide or triflate (trifluoromethane-sulfonate) or the like. In the equation below either Met or X is the metal and the other is the halide or triflate (OTf). Pd(com) is a soluble complex of palladium such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(O) or bis- (triphenylphosphine)- palladium(III) chloride. These methods are well known to those skilied in the art. See, for example. Suzuki, Pure Appl. Chem. 61, 213, 1994; Suzuki, Pure Appl. Chem. 63., 419. 1991; and Farina and Roth. "Metal-Organic Chemistry" Volume 5 (Chapter 1), 1994.
The starting materials MXXIII (B = 1,4-phenylene) are readily formed using methods analogous to those of methods A, B, C, or D but using a halobenzene rather than a biphenyl as starting material. When desired, the materials in which X is halo can be converted to those in which X is metal by reactions well known to those skilled in the art, such as treatment of a bromo intermediate with hexamethyiditin and palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine in toluene at reflux to yield the trimethyltin intermediate. The starting materials MXXIII (B = heteroaryl) are most conveniently prepared by method C but using readily available heteroaryl rather than biphenyl starting materials. The intermediates MXXII are either commercial or easily prepared from commercial materials by methods well known to those skilled in the art.
T, x, A, B, E and G as in Structure (L)
Met = Metal and X = Halide or Triflate
or
Met = Halide or Triflate arid X = Metal
These general methods are useful for the preparation of compounds for which Friedel-Crafts reactions such as those of Methods A, B, C, or D would lead to mixtures with various biaryl acylation patterns. Method E is also especially useful for the preparation of products in which the aryl groups. A or B. contain one or more heteroatoms (heteroaryls) such as those compounds that contain thiophene, furan, pyridine, pyrrole, oxazole. thiazole, pyrimidine or pyrazine rings or the like instead of phenyls.
General Method F - When the R6 groups of method F form together a 4 - 7 member carbocyclic ring as in Intermediate MXXV below, the double bond can be moved out of conjugation with the ketone group by treatment with two equivalents of a strong base such as lithium diisopropylamide or lithium hexamethylsilylamide or the like followed by acid quench to yield compounds with the structure MXXVI. Reaction of MXXVI with mercapto derivatives using methods analogous to those of General Method D then leads to cyclic compounds MI-F-1 or MI-F-2.
General Method G - The compounds of this invention in which two R6 groups are joined to form a substituted 5-member ring are most conveniently prepared by method G. In this method acid CII (R = H) is prepared using the protocols described in Tetrahedron 37, Suppl., 41 1, 1981. The acid is protected as an ester [eg. R = benzyl (Bn) or 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl (TMSE)] by use of coupling agents such as 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and procedures well known to those skilled in the art. Substituted bromobiphenyl CIII is converted to its Grignard reagent by treatment with magnesium and reacted with Cl to yield alcohol CVI. Alcohol CVI is eliminated via base treatment of its mesylate by using conditions well known to those skilled in the art to yield olefin CVII. Alternatively CIII is converted to a trimethyltin intermediate via initial metallation of the bromide with n-butyllithium at low temperature (-78 °C)
followed by treatment with chlorotrimethyltin and Cl is converted to an enoltriflate (CII) by reaction with 2- [N,N-bis(tnfluoromethylsulfonyl)ammo]-5-chloropyridine in the presence of a strong aprotic base. The tin and enoltriflate intermediates are then coupled in the presence of a Pd° catalyst. Cul and AsPh3 to yield directly intermediate CVII. Ozonolysis of CVII (workup with methylsufide) yields aldehyde CVIII. Alternatively treatment with OsO4 followed by HIO4 converts CVII to CVIII.
Conversion of key intermediate CVIII to the targeted patent compounds is accomplished m several ways depending on the identity of side chain function Z. Reaction of CVIII with Wittig reagents followed by hydrogenation yields products in which Z is alkyl and or arylalkyl. Selective reduction of aldehyde CVIII with a reducing agent such as lithium tris [(3-ethyl- 3pentyl)oxy]aluminum hydride (LTEPA) yields alcohol CIX . The alcohol is converted to phenyl ethers or a variety of heteroatom substituted derivatives used to generate sidechain Z via the
Mitsunobu conditions well known to those skilled in the art (see Mitsunobu, Synthesis. 1, 1981 ).
Alternatively the alcohol of CIX is converted to a leaving group such as tosylate (CX) or bromide by conditions well known to those skilled in the art and then the leaving group is displaced by an appropriate nucleophile. Several examples of this type of reaction can be found in Norman, et al.,
J. Med. Chem. 37, 2552, 1994. Direct acylation of the alcohol CIX yields invenuon compounds in which Z = OAcyl and reaction of the alcohol with various alkyl halides in the presence of base yields alkyl ethers. In each case a final step is removal of acid blocking group R to yield acids (R
= H) by using conditions which depend on the stability of R and Z, but in all cases well known to those skilled in the art such as removal of benzyl by base hydrolysis or of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl by treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride.
General Method H - Amides of the acids of the invention compounds can be prepared from the acids by treatment in an appropnate solvent such as dichloromethane or dimethylformamide with a primary or secondary amine and a coupling agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. These reactions are well known to those skilled in the art. The amine component can be simple alkyl or arylalkyl substituted or can be amino acid derivatives in which the carboxyl is blocked and the amino group is free.
General Method I - The compounds of this invention in which (T)x is an alkynyl or substituted alkynyl are prepared according to general method I (Austin. J Org. Chem. 46, 2280, 1981 ). Intermediate MX is prepared according to methods A, B, C, D or G by starting with commercial MIII (R1 = Br). Reaction of MX with substituted acetylene MXI in the presence of Cu(I) / palladate reagent gives invention compound MI-I-1. In certain cases. R3 may be an alcohol blocked as trialkylsilyl. In such cases the silyl group can be removed by treatment with acids such as trifluoroacetic acid or HF - pyridine reagent.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present invention include addition salts formed with organic or inorganic bases. The salt forming ion derived from such bases can be metal ions, e.g., aluminum, alkali metal ions, such as sodium or potassium, alkaline earth metal ions such as calcium or magnesium, or an amine salt ion, of which a number are known for this purpose. Examples include ammonium salts, arylalkylamines such as dibenzyiamine and N, N-dibenzylethylenediamine, lower alkylamines such as methylamine, t-butylamine, procaine, lower alkylpiperidines such as N-ethylpiperidine, cycloalkylamines such as cyclohexylamine or dicyclohexylamine, 1-adamantylamine, benzathine, or salts derived from amino acids like arginine, lysine or the like. The physiologically acceptable salts such as the sodium or potassium salts and the amino acid salts can be used medicinally as described below and are preferred.
These and other salts which are not necessarily physiologically acceptable are useful in isolating or purifying a product acceptable for the purposes described below For example, the use of commercially available enantiomerically pure amines such as (+)-cinchonine in suitable solvents can y ield salt crystals of a single enatiomer of the invention compounds, leaving the opposite enantiomer in solution in a process often referred to as "classical resolution." As one enantiomer of a given invention compound is usually substantially greater in physiological effect than its antipode, this active isomer can thus be found purified in either the crystals or the liquid phase. The salts are produced by reacting the acid form of the invention compound with an equivalent of the base supplying the desired basic ion in a medium in which the salt precipitates or in aqueous medium and then Iyophilizing The free acid form can be obtained from the salt by conventional neutralization techniques, e.g., with potassium bisulfate, hydrochloric acid, etc.
The compounds of the present invention have been found to inhibit the matrix metalloproteases MMP-3, MMP-9 and MMP-2, and to a lesser extent MMP-1 , and are therefore useful for treating or preventing the conditions referred to in the background section. As other MMPs not listed above share a high degree of homology with those listed above, especially in the catalytic site, it is deemed that compounds of the invention should also inhibit such other MMPs to varying degrees. Varying the substiments on the biaryl portions of the molecules, as well as those of the propanoic or butanoic acid chains of the claimed compounds, has been demonstrated to affect the relative inhibition of the listed MMPs. Thus compounds of this general class can be " tuned" by selecting specific substituents such that inhibition of specific MMP(s) associated with specific pathological conditions can be enhanced while leaving non-invoived MMPs less affected.
The method of treating matrix metalloprotease-mediated conditions may be practiced in mammals, including humans, that exhibit such conditions.
The inhibitors of the present invention are contemplated for use in veterinary and human applications. For such purposes, they will be employed in pharmaceutical compositions containing active ingredient(s) plus one or more pharmaceutically acceptable earners, diluents, fillers, binders, and other excipients. depending on the administration mode and dosage form contemplated.
Administration of the inhibitors may be by any suitable mode known to those skilled in the art. Examples of suitable parenteral administration include intravenous, intraarticular, subcutaneous and intramuscular routes. Intravenous administration can be used to obtain acute regulation of peak plasma concentrations of the drug. Improved half-life and targeting of the drug to the joint cavities may be aided by entrapment of the drug in liposomes. It may be possible to improve the selectivity of liposomal targeting to the joint cavities by incorporation of ligands into the outside of the liposomes that bind to synovial-specific macromolecules. Alternatively intramuscular, intraarticular or subcutaneous depot injection with or without encapsulation of the drug into degradable microspheres e.g., comprising poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) may be used to obtain prolonged sustained drug release. For improved convenience of the dosage form it may be possible to use an i.p. implanted reservoir and septum such as the Percuseal system available from Pharmacia.
Improved convenience and patient compliance may also be achieved by the use of either injector pens (e.g. the Novo Pin or Q-pen) or needle-free jet injectors (e.g. from Bioject, Mediject or Becton Dickinson). Prolonged zero-order or other precisely controlled release such as pulsatile release can also be achieved as needed using implantable pumps with delivery of the drug through a cannula
into the synovial spaces. Examples include the subcutaneously implanted osmotic pumps available from ALZA, such as the ALZET osmotic pump.
Nasal delivery may be achieved by incorporation of the drug into bioadhesive particulate carriers (<200 μm) such as those comprising cellulose, polyacrylate or polycarbophil, in conjunction with suitable absorption enhancers such as phospholipids or acylcarnitines. Available systems include those developed by DanBiosys and Scios Nova.
A noteworthy attribute of the compounds of the present invenuon in contrast to those of various peptidic compounds referenced in the background section of this application is the demonstrated oral activity of the present compounds. Certain compounds have shown oral bioavailability in various animal models of up to 90 - 98 %. Oral delivery may be achieved by incorporation of the drug into tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules. solutions, emulsions or suspensions. Oral delivery may also be achieved by incorporation of the drug into enteric coated capsules designed to release the drug into the colon where digestive protease activity is low. Examples include the OROS-CT/Osmet™ and PULSINCAP™ systems from ALZA and Scherer Drug Delivery Systems respectively. Other systems use azo-crosslinked polymers that are degraded by colon specific bacterial azoreductases, or pH sensitive polyacrylate polymers that are activated by the rise in pH at the colon. The above systems may be used in conjunction with a wide range of available absorption enhancers.
Rectal delivery may be achieved by incorporation of the drug into suppositories.
The compounds of this invention can be manufactured into the above listed formulations by the addition of various therapeutically inert, inorganic or organic carriers well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, lactose, corn starch or derivatives
thereof, talc, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, polyols such as polyethylene glycol, water, saccharose. alcohols, glycerin and the like. Various preservatives, emulsifiers, dispersants, flavorants, wetting agents, antioxidants, sweeteners, colorants, stabilizers, salts, buffers and the like are also added, as required to assist in the stabilization of the formulation or to assist in increasing bioavailability of the active ingredient(s) or to yield a formulation of acceptable flavor or odor in the case of oral dosing.
The amount of the pharmaceutical composition to be employed will depend on the recipient and the condition being treated. The requisite amount may be determined without undue experimentation by protocols known to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the requisite amount may be calculated, based on a determination of the amount of target enzyme which must be inhibited in order to treat the condition.
The matrix metalloprotease inhibitors of the invention are useful not only for treatment of the physiological conditions discussed above, but are also useful in such activities as purification of metalloproteases and testing for matrix metalloprotease activity. Such activity testing can be both in vitro using natural or synthetic enzyme preparations or in vivo using, for example, animal models in which abnormal destructive enzyme levels are found spontaneously (use of genetically mutated or transgenic animals) or are induced by administration of exogenous agents or by surgery which disrupts joint stability.

P218 Fluorogcnic Substrate: P218 is a synthetic substrate containing a 4-acetyl-7- methoxycoumarin ( MCA) group in the N-termmal position and a 3-[2, 4-dimtrophenyl]-L-2.3- diaminopropionyl (DPA) group internally. This is a modification of a peptide reported by Knight ( 1992) that was used as a substrate for matrix metalloproteinases. Once the P218 peptide is cleaved (putative clip site at the Ala-Leu bond), the fluorescence of the MCA group can be detected on a fluorometer with excitation at 328 nm and emission at 393 nm. P218 is currently being produced BACHEM exclusively for Bayer. P218 has the structure:
H-MCA-Pro-Lys-Pro-Leu-Ala-Leu-DPA-Ala-Arg-NH2 (MW 1332.2)
Recombinant Human CHO Stromelysin (MMP-31
Recombinant Human CHO Pro- MM P-3: Human CHO pro-stromelysin-257 (pro-MMP-3) was expressed and punfied as described by Housley, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 268, 4481 , 1993.
Activation of Pro-MMP-3: Pro-MMP-3 at 1.72 μM (100 μg/mL) in 5 mM Tris at pH 7.5, 5 mM CaCl2, 25 mM NaCl, and 0.005% Brij-35 MMP-3) activation buffer) was activated by incubation with TPCK (N-tosyl-(L)-phenylalamne chloromethyl ketone) trypsin (1:100 w/w to pro- MMP-3) at 25 ºC for 30 mm. The reaction was stopped by addition of soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI; 5:1 w/w to trypsin concentration). This activation protocol results in the formation of 45 kDa active MMP-3. which still contains the C-terminal portion of the enzyme.
Preparation of Human Recombinant Pro-Gelatinase A (MMP-2):
Recombinant Human Pro-MMP-2: Human pro-gelatinase A (pro-MMP-2) was prepared using a vaccinia expression system according to the method of Fridman, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 267, 15398, 1992.
Activation of Pro-MMP-2: Pro-MMP-2 at 252 mg/mL was diluted 1:5 to a final concentration of 50 μg/mL solution in 25 mM Tris at pH 7.5, 5 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl, and
0.005% Brij-35 (MMP-2 activation buffer). p-Aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA) was prepared in 10 mM (3.5 mgmL) in 0.05 NaOH. The APMA solution was added at 1/20 the reaction volume for a final AMPA concentration of 0.5 mM. and the enzyme was incubated at 37 °C for 30 mm.
Activated MMP-2 (15 mL) was dialyzed twice vs. 2 L of MMP-2 activation buffer (dialysis membranes were pre-treated with a solution consisting of 0.1% BSA in MMP-2 activation buffer for 1 min, followed by extensive H2O washing). The enzyme was concentrated on Centricon concentrators (concentrators were also pre-treated a solution consisting of 0.1 % BSA in MMP-2 activation buffer for 1 mm., followed by washing with H2O. then MMP-2 activation buffer) with re- dilution followed by re-concentration repeated twice. The enzyme was diluted to 7.5 mL (0.5 times the original volume) with MMP-2 activation buffer.
Preparation of Human Recombinant Pro-Gelatinase B (MMP-9):
Recombinant Human Pro-MMP-9: Human pro-gelatinase B (pro-MMP-9) derived from U937 cDNA as described by Wtlhelm, et al. J. Biol. Chem.264, 17213, 1989 was expressed as the full-length form using a baculovirus protein expression system. The pro-enzyme was purified using methods previously described by Hibbs, et al. J. Biol. Chem.260, 2493, 1984.
Activation of Pro-MMP-9: Pro-MMP-2 20 μg/mL in 50 mM Tris at pH 7.4, 10mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCL and 0.005% Brij-35 (MMP-9 activation buffer) was activated by incubation with 0.5 mM p-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA) for 3.5 h at 37 °C. The enzyme was dialyzed against the same buffer to revmove the APMA.
Instrumentation:
Hamiltion Microlab AT Plus. The MMP-Profiling Assay is performed robotically on a
Hamilton MicroLab AT Plus®. The Hamilton is programmed to (1) senaily dilute up to 1 1 potential inhibitors automatically from a 2.5 mM stock in 100% DMSO, (2) distnbute substrate followed bv inhibitor mto a 96 well Cytofluor plate; and (3) add a single enzyme to the plate with mixing to start the reacuon. Subsequent plates for each additional enzyme are prepared automatically by beginmng the program at the substrate addition point, remixing the diluted inhibitors and beginning the reaction by addition of enzyme In this way, all MMP assays were done using the same inhibitor dilutions.
Millipore Cytofluor II. Following incubation, the plate was read on a Cytofluor II fluorometric plate reader with excitation at 340 nM and emission at 395 nM with the gain set at 80.
Buffers:
Microfluorometric Reaction Buffer (MRB): Dilution of test compounds, enzymes, and P218 substrate for the microfluorometric assay were made in microfluorometric reaction buffer consisting of 50 mM 2-(N-moipholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES) at pH 6 5 with 10 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 0.005% Brij-35 and 1% DMSO
Methods:
MMP Mtcrofluorometric Profiling Assay. The assay is done with a final substrate concentration of 6 μM P218 and approximately 5 to .8 nM MMP with variable drug concentrations. The Hamilton is programmed to serially dilute up to 11 compounds from a 2.5 mM stock (100%
DMSO) to 10x the final compounds concentrauons in the assay. Initially, the instrument delivers various amounts of microfluoromentric reaction buffer (MRB) to a 96 tube rack of 1 ml Marsh
dilution tubes. The instrument then picks up 20 μl of inhibitor (2.5 mM) from the sample rack and mixes it with a buffer in row A of the Marsh rack, resulting in a 50 μM drug concentration. The inhibitors are then serially diluted to 10, 5, 1, .2, .05 and .01 μM. Position 1 on the sample rack contains only DMSO for the "enzyme-only" wells in the assay, which results in no inhibitor in column 1, rows A through H. The instrument then distributes 107 μl of P218 substrate (8.2 μM in
MRB) to a single 96 well cytofluor microtiter plate. The instrument re-mixes and loads 14.5 μl of diluted compound from rows A to G in the Marsh rack to corresponding rows in the microtiter plate.
(Row H represents the "background" row and 39.5 μl of MRB is delivered in placed of drug or enzyme). The reaction is started by adding 25 μl of the appropriate enzyme (at 5.86 times the final enzyme concentration) from a BSA treated reagent reservoir to each well, excluding Row H, the
"background" row. (The enzyme reservoir is pretreated with 1% BSA in 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5 containing 150 mM NaCl for 1 hour at room temp., followed by extensive H2O washing and drying at room temp.).
After addition and mixing of the enzyme, the plate is covered and incubated for 25 min. at 37 °C. Additional enzymes are tested in the same manner by beginning the Hamilton program with the distribution of P218 substrate to the microtiter plate, followed by re-mixing and distribution of the drug from the same Marsh rack to the microtiter plate. The second (or third, etc.) MMP to be tested is then distributed from a reagent rack to the microtiter plate with mixing, prior to covering and incubation. This is repeated for all additional MMP's to be tested.
IC50 Determination in Microfluorometric Assay: Data generated on the Cytofluor II is copied from an exported ".CSV" file to a master Excel spreadsheet. Data from several different MMPs (one 96 well plate per MMP) were calculated simultaneously. The percent inhibition is
determination for each drug concentration by comparing the amount of hydrolysis (fluorescence units generated over 25 minutes of hydrolysis) of wells containing compound with the "enzyme only" wells in column 1. Following subtraction of the background the percent inhibition was calculated as:
((Control values - Treated values)/Contro! values) x 100
Percent inhibitions were determined for inhibitor concentrations of 5, 1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.02. 0.005 and. 0.001 μM of drug. Linear regression analysis of percnet inhibition versus log inhibitor concentration was used to obtain IC50 values.
