BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 25 Interleukin 1 is a major proinflammatory and immunoregulatory protein that stimulates fibroblast differentiation and proliferation, the production of prostaglandins, collagenase and phospholipase by synovial cells and chondrocytes, basophil and eosinophil degranulation and neutrophil activation. Oppenheim, J.H. et al, Immunology Today, 7, pp. 45-56 (1986). As such, it is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic and acute inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. For example, in rheumatoid arthritis, IL-1 is both a mediator of

IL-1 is also a highly potent bone resorption agent. Jandiski, J. Oral Path 17, 145 (1988); Dewhirst, F.E. et al., J. Immunol.

Bataille, R. et al., Int. J. Clin. Lab. Res. 21(4), 283 (1992). In certain proliferative disorders, such as acute myelogenous leukemia and multiple myeloma, IL-1 can promote tumor cell growth and adhesion. Bani, J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 83, 123 (1991); Vidal- Vanaclocha, Cancer Res. 54, 2667 (1994). In these disorders, IL-1 also stimulates production of other cytokines such as IL-6, which can modulate tumor development (Tartour et al., Cancer Res. 54, 6243 (1994). IL-1 is predominantly produced by peripheral blood monocytes as part of the inflammatory response and exists in two distinct agonist forms, IL-la and ILoe Mosely, B.S. et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., 84, pp. 4572-4576 (1987); Lonnemann, G. et al., Eur.J.

is synthesized as a biologically inactive precursor, pIL-10. pIL-10 lacks a conventional leader sequence and is not processed by a signal peptidase. March, Nature, 315, pp. 641-647 (1985). Instead, pIL-10 is cleaved by interleukin-lp converting enzyme between Asp- 3 116 and Ala-117 to produce the biologically active C-terminal fragment found in human serum and synovial fluid. Sleath, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 265, pp. 14526-14528 (1992); A.D. Howard et al., J.

A transgenic mouse with a disruption of the ICE gene is deficient in Fas-mediated apoptosis (Kuida, K. et al., Science 267, 2000 (1995)). This activity of ICE is distinct from its role as the processing enzyme for pro-ILl0. It is conceivable that in certain tissue types, inhibition of ICE may not affect secretion of mature IL-10, but may inhibit apoptosis.
Enzymatically active ICE has been previously 10 described as a heterodimer composed of two subunits, p20 and plO (20kDa and 10kDa molecular weight, respectively). These subunits are derived from a proenzyme (p45) by way of a p30 form, through an activation mechanism that is autocatalytic.
Thornberry, N.A. et al., Nature, 356, pp. 768-774 (1992). The ICE proenzyme has been divided into several functional domains: a prodomain (p14), a p22/20 subunit, a polypeptide linker and a plO subunit.
Thornberry et al., supra; Casano et al., Genomics, pp. 474-481 (1994).
Full length p45 has been characterized by its cDNA and amino acid sequences. PCT patent applications WO 91/15577 and WO 94/00154. The p20 and plO cDNA and amino acid sequences are also known. Thornberrv et al., supra. Murine and rat ICE have also been sequenced and cloned. They have high amino acid and nucleic acid sequence homology to human ICE. Miller, D.K. et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 696, pp. 133-148 (1993); Molineaux, S.M. et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., 90, pp. 1809-1813 (1993). The three-dimensional structure of ICE has been determined at atomic resolution by X-ray crystallography. Wilson, et al., Nature, 370, pp. 270-275 (1994). The active 5 enzyme exists as a tetramer of two p20 and two pl0 subunits.
Additionally, there exist human homologs of ICE with sequence similarities in the active site regions of the enzymes. Such homologs include TX (or ICErei-ii or ICH-2) (Faucheu, et al., EMBO 14, p.
1914 (1995); Kamens et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270, p.
15250 (1995); Nicholson et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270 15870 (1995)), TY (or ICErel-iii) (Nicholson et al., J.
Biol. Chem., 270, p. 15870 (1995); ICH-1 (or Nedd-2) (Wang, L. et al., Cell, 78, p. 739 (1994)), MCH-2, (Fernandes-Alnemri, T. et al., Cancer Res., 55, p. 2737 (1995), CPP32 (or YAMA or apopain) (Fernandes-Alnemri, T. et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269, p. 30761 (1994); Nicholson, D.W. et al., Nature, 376, p. 37 (1995)), and CMH-1 (or MCH-3) (Lippke, et al., J. Biol. Chem., (1996); Fernandes-Alnemri, T. et al., Cancer Res., (1995)). Each of these ICE homologs, as well as ICE itself, is capable of inducing apoptosis when overexpressed in transfected cell lines. Inhibition of one or more of these homologs with the peptidyl ICE inhibitor Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-chloromethylketone results in inhibition of apoptosis in primary cells or cell lines.
Lazebnik et al., Nature, 371, p. 346 (1994). The compounds described herein are also capable of inhibiting one or more homologs of ICE (see Example Therefore, these compounds may be used to inhibit apoptosis in tissue types that contain ICE homologs, but which do not contain active ICE or produce mature Interferon-gamma inducing factor (IGIF) is an approximately 18-kDa polypeptide that stimulates T-cell production of interferon-gamma (IFN-y). IGIF is 6 produced by activated Kupffer cells and macrophages in vivo and is exported out of such cells upon endotoxin stimulation. Thus, a compound that decreases IGIF production would be useful as an inhibitor of such Tcell stimulation which in turn would reduce the levels of IFN-y production by those cells.
IFN-y is a cytokine with immunomodulatory effects on a variety of immune cells. In particular, IFN-y is involved in macrophage activation and Thl cell 10 selection Belardelli, APMIS, 103, p. 161 (1995)).
SB IFN-y exerts its effects in part by modulating the expression of genes through the STAT and IRF pathways Schindler and J.E. Darnell, Ann. Rev. Biochem., 64, p. 621 (1995); T. Taniguchi, J. Cancer Res. Clin.
Oncol., 121, p. 516 (1995)).
Mice lacking IFN-y or its receptor have multiple defects in immune cell function and are resistant to endotoxic shock Huang et al., Science, S. 259, p. 1742 (1993); D. Dalton et al., Science, 259, p. 1739 (1993); B. D. Car et al., J. Exp. Med., 179, p. 1437 (1994)). Along with IL-12, IGIF appears to be a potent inducer of IFN-y production by T cells (H.
Okamura et al., Infection and Immunity, 63, p. 3966 (1995); H. Okamura et al., Nature, 378, p. 88 (1995); S. Ushio et al., J. Immunol., 156, p. 4274 (1996)).
IFN-y has been shown to contribute to the pathology associated with a variety of inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune disorders and diseases.
Thus, compounds capable of decreasing IFN-y production would be useful to ameliorate the effects of IFN-y related pathologies.
The biological regulation of IGIF and thus IFN-y has not been elucidated. It is known that IGIF 7 is synthesized as a precursor protein, called "pro- IGIF". It has been unclear, however, how pro-IGIF is cleaved and whether its processing has biological importance.
Accordingly, compositions and methods capable of regulating the conversion of pro-IGIF to IGIF would be useful for decreasing IGIF and IFN-y production in vivo, and thus for ameliorating the detrimental effects of these proteins which contribute to human disorders and diseases.
However, ICE and other members of the ICE/CED-3 family have not previously been linked to the conversion of pro-IGIF to IGIF or to IFN-y production in vivo.
ICE inhibitors represent a class of compounds useful for the control of inflammation or apoptosis or both. Peptide and peptidyl inhibitors of ICE have been described. PCT patent applications WO 91/15577; WO 93/05071; WO 93/09135; WO 93/14777 and WO 93/16710; and European patent application 0 547 699. Such peptidyl inhibitors of ICE has been observed to block the production of mature IL-10 in a mouse model of inflammation (vide infra) and to suppress growth of leukemia cells in vitro (Estrov et al., Blood 84, 380a (1994)). However, due to their peptidic nature, such inhibitors are typically characterized by undesirable pharmacologic properties, such as poor cellular penetration and cellular activity, poor oral absorption, poor stability and rapid metabolism.
Plattner, J.J. and D.W. Norbeck, in Drug Discovery Technologies, C.R. Clark and W.H. Moos, Eds. (Ellis Horwood, Chichester, England, 1990), pp. 92-126. This has hampered their development into effective drugs.
8 Non-peptidyl compounds have also been reported to inhibit ICE in vitro. PCT patent application WO 95/26958; US Patents 5,552,400; Dolle et al., J. Med. Chem., 39, pp. 2438-2440 (1996); However, it is not clear whether these compounds have the appropriate pharmacological profile to be therapeutically useful.
Additionally, current methods for the preparation of such compounds are not advantageous.

Accordingly, the need exists for compounds that can effectively inhibit the action of ICE in vivo, for use as agents for preventing and treating chronic and acute forms of IL-1-mediated diseases, apoptosis-, IGIF-, or IFN-y-mediated diseases, as well as inflammatory, autoimmune, destructive bone, proliferative, infectious, or degenerative diseases.
The need also exists for methods of preparing such compounds.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides novel classes of compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof, that are useful as inhibitors of ICE. These compounds can be used alone or in combination with other therapeutic or prophylactic agents, such as antibiotics, immunomodulators or other anti-inflammatory agents, for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases mediated by IL-1, apoptosis, 9 IGIF or IFN-y. According to a preferred embodiment, the compounds of this invention are capable of binding to the active site of ICE and inhibiting the activity of that enzyme. Additionally, they have improved cellular potency, improved pharmacokinetics, and/or improved oral bioavailability compared to peptidyl ICE inhibitors.

Fig. 1C ICE cleavage converts inactive pro-IGIF to active IGIF which induces IFN-y production in Thl helper cells. Uncleaved (Pro-IGIF), ICE-cleaved (Pro- IGIF/ICE), CPP32-cleaved (Pro-IGIF/CPP32), and recombinant mature IGIF (rIGIF) were incubated with A.E7 Thl cells at 12 ng/ml (open bar) and 120 ng/ml (hatched bar) for eighteen hours and the levels of IFNy released into the culture medium assayed by ELISA (Example 23). A.E7 cells cultured with buffer, ICE alone (ICE) or CPP32 alone (CPP32) were assayed similarly for negative controls. The numbers represent the average of three determinations.
Fig. 2A Mature IGIF (18-kDa) is produced by Cos cells co-transfected with pro-IGIF and ICE-expressing plasmids. Cell lysates (left) and conditioned medium (right) from Cos cells transfected with a pro-IGIF expression plasmid in the absence or presence of an expression plasmid encoding wild type (ICE) or inactive mutant (ICE-C285S) ICE. Transfected cells were metabolically labeled with "S-methionine, proteins from 11 cell lysates and conditioned medium immunoprecipitated with anti-IGIF antisera and separated by SDS-PAGE (Example 24). Mobilities of pro-IGIF and the 18-kDa mature IGIF are indicated on the right. Molecular weight markers in kDa are shown on the left.
Fig. 2B IFN-y inducing activity is detected in Cos cells co-transfected with pro-IGIF and ICE-expressing plasmids. Cell lysates (hatched bar) and conditioned medium (open bar) from Cos cells transfected with a 10 pro-IGIF expression plasmid in the absence (Pro-IGIF) or presence (Pro-IGIF/ICE) of an expression plasmid encoding wild type (ICE) were assayed for IFN-y levels o '(ng/ml) by ELISA. Cos cells transfected with buffer (Mock) or an ICE-expressing plasmid alone (ICE) served as negative controls (Example 24).
Fig. 3A Kupffer cells from mice lacking ICE are defective in the export of IGIF. Kupffer cells from wild type mice (ICE or ICE-deficient mice homozygous for an ICE mutation were isolated and primed with LPS for three hours. The levels of immunoreactive IGIF polypeptides in the conditioned media (ng/ml) of wild type cells were measured by ELISA (Example 25). N.D. (not detectable) indicates that the IGIF concentration was less than 0.1 ng/ml.
Fig. 3B Kupffer cells from mice lacking ICE are defective in the export of mature IGIF. Kupffer cells from wild type mice (ICE or ICE deficient mice homozygous for an ICE mutation (ICE were isolated and primed with LPS for three hours. Primed cells were metabolically labeled with 35 S-methionine, proteins from cell lysates and conditioned medium immunoprecipitated with anti-IGIF antisera and separated by SDS-PAGE (Example 25). Mobilities of pro-IGIF and the 18-kDa 12 mature IGIF are indicated on the right. Molecular mass markers in kDa are shown on the left.
Fig. 3C Serum from ICE-deficient mice contains reduced levels of IGIF. Serum samples from wild type mice (ICE or ICE deficient mice homozygous for an ICE mutation (ICE were assayed for IGIF levels (ng/ml) by ELISA (Example Fig. 3D Serum from ICE-deficient mice contains reduced levels of IFN-y. Serum samples from wild type 10 mice (ICE or ICE deficient mice homozygous for an ICE mutation (ICE were assayed for IFN-y levels (ng/ml) by ELISA (Example Fig. 4 Serum IFN-y levels are significantly reduced in ICE-deficient mice after an acute challenge with LPS (Example 26). Serum samples from wild type mice (filled squares) or ICE-deficient mice (filled circles) were assayed for IFN-y levels (ng/ml) by ELISA as a function of time (hours) after LPS challenge.

Fig. 6 Compound 214e inhibits IL-1 production in LPS-challenged mice. Serum samples from CD1 mice were assayed for IL-1P levels (pg/ml) by ELISA after LPS challenge. Compound 214e was administered by intraperitoneal (IP) injection one hour after LPS challenge. Blood was collected seven hours after LPS 13 challenge (see Example 7).
Fig. 7 Compound 217e inhibits IL-1P production in LPS-challenged mice. Serum samples from CD1 mice were assayed for IL-13 levels (pg/ml) by ELISA after LPS challenge. Compound 217e was administered by intraperitoneal (IP) injection one hour after LPS challenge. Blood was collected seven hours after LPS challenge (see Example 7).
i Fig. 8 Compound 214e, but not compound 217e, 10 inhibits IL-13 production in LPS-challenged mice when administered by oral gavage. This assay measures oral absorption under similar conditions as those described for Figs. 6 and 7. These results indicates that 214e is potentially orally active as an ICE inhibitor (see Example 7).

These results were obtained in the assay described for Figs. 6 and 7 and Example 7.
Fig. 10 Compound 214e, and analogs of 214e, also inhibit IL-13 production after oral (PO) administration. These results were obtained in the assay described for Figs. 6 and 7 and Example 7.
Figs. 11A/B Compounds 302 and 304a show detectable blood levels when administered orally (50mg/kg, in carboxymethylcellulose) to mice. Blood samples were collected at 1 and 7 hours after dosing.
Compounds 302 and 304a are prodrugs of 214e and are metabolized to 2 14e in vivo. Compound 214e shows no blood levels above 0.10 pg/ml when administered orally (Example 8).

ICE and TX Cleave and Thereby Activate Pro-IGIF The ICE protease was identified previously by virtue of its ability to process inactive pro-IL-I1 to mature active IL-18, a pro-inflammatory molecule, in vitro and in vivo Here we show that ICE and its close homologue TX (Caspase-4, C. Faucheu et al., EMBO, 10 14, p. 1914 (1995)) can proteolytically cleave inactive pro-IGIF. This processing step is required to convert pro-IGIF to its active mature form, IGIF. Cleavage of pro-IGIF by ICE, and presumably by TX, also facilitates the export of IGIF out of cells.
We first used transient co-expression of plasmids transfected into Cos cells to determine whether any known members of the ICE/CED-3 protease family can process pro-IGIF to IGIF in cultured cells (Example 23) (Fig. 1A).
Fig. 1A demonstrates that ICE cleaves pro-IGIF in Cos cells co-transfected with plasmids that express pro-IGIF in the presence of active ICE. Cos cells were transfected with an expression plasmid for pro-IGIF alone (lane 2) or in combination with the indicated expression plasmids encoding wild type or inactive mutants of ICE/CED-3 family of proteases (lanes 3-12). Cell lysates were prepared and analyzed for the presence of IGIF protein by immunoblotting with an anti-IGIF antiserum. Lane 1 contained lysates from mock transfected cells.
Co-expression of pro-IGIF with ICE or TX resulted in the cleavage of pro-IGIF into a polypeptide similar in size to the naturally-occurring 18-kDa 46 mature IGIF. This processing event is blocked by single point mutations that alter the catalytic cysteine residues and thus inactivate ICE and TX Gu et al., EMBO, 14, p. 1923 (1995)).
Co-expression with CPP32 (Caspase-3), a protease involved in programmed cell death (T.
Fernandes-Alnemri et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269, p. 30761 (1994); D. W. Nicholson et al., Nature, 376, p. 37 (1995)), resulted in the cleavage of pro-IGIF into a 10 smaller polypeptide, while co-expression with CMH-1 "(Caspase-7), a close homolog of CPP32 A. Lippke et al., J. Biol. Chem., 271, p. 1825 (1996)), failed to cleave pro-IGIF to any significant extent. Thus, ICE and TX appear to be capable of cleaving pro-IGIF into a polypeptide similar in size to the naturally-occurring 18-kDa IGIF.
We next examined the ability of these cysteine proteases to cleave pro-IGIF in vitro using a purified, recombinant (His) 6 -tagged pro-IGIF as a substrate (Example 23).
Fig. 1B demonstrates that pro-IGIF is cleaved in vitro by ICE. Purified recombinant (His) 6 -tagged pro-IGIF (2 pg) was incubated with the indicated cysteine protease in the presence or absence of ICE or CPP32 inhibitors as described in Example 23. The cleavage products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Blue staining.
ICE cleaved the 24 kDa pro-IGIF into two polypeptides of approximately 18-kDa and 6-kDa.
N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the ICE cleavage products indicated that the 18-kDa polypeptide contains the same N-terminal amino acid residues (Asn-Phe-Gly-Arg-Leu) as the naturally occurring IGIF.
47 This shows that ICE cleaves pro-IGIF at the authentic processing site (Asp35-Asn36) Okamura et al., Infection and Immunity, 63, p. 3966 (1995); H. Okamura et al., Nature, 378, p. 88 (1995)). N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the CPP32 cleavage products indicated that CPP32 cleaved pro-IGIF at Asp69-Ile70.
The cleavage by ICE of pro-IGIF is highly specific with a catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) of 1.4 x 7 -1 -1 7 10 M 1 s (KM= 0.6 0.1 LM; kcat 8.6 0.3 s 1 and **Soo: 10 is inhibited by specific ICE inhibitors (Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-aldehyde) and Cbz-Val-Ala-Asp- 2 6 -dichlorobenzoyl)oxy]methylketone,
(N.A.
Thornberry et al., Nature, 356, p. 768 (1992); R. E.
Dolle et al., J. Med. Chem., 37, p. 563 (1994)).
Fig. 1C demonstrates that ICE cleavage in vitro activates pro-IGIF. Uncleaved pro-IGIF, ICE- or 00 ~CPP32-cleaved products of pro-IGIF, or recombinant mature IGIF (rIGIF) were each added to A.E7 cell 0 cultures to a final concentration of 12 ng/ml or 120 ng/ml (see, Example 23). Eighteen hours later, IFN-y S in the cultural medium was quantified by ELISA. While the uncleaved pro-IGIF had no detectable IFN-y inducing activity, ICE-cleaved pro-IGIF was active in inducing IFN-y production in Thl cells.
Like ICE, the ICE homolog TX also cleaved pro-IGIF into similarly sized polypeptides. However, its catalytic efficiency was about two orders of magnitude lower than that shown for ICE.
Consistent with the observations from the Cos cell experiments above, CPP32 cleaved pro-IGIF at a different site (Asp69-Ile70) and the resulting polypeptides had little IFN-y inducing activity (Fig.
48 1C). CMH-1 and granzyme B each failed to cleave pro-IGIF to any significant extent.
Together, these results demonstrate that, both in Cos cells and in vitro, ICE and TX are capable of processing the inactive pro-IGIF precursor at the authentic maturation site to generate a biologically active IGIF molecule.
Processing of Pro-IGIF by ICE Facilitates Its Export S* IGIF is produced by activated Kupffer cells 10 and macrophages in vivo and is exported out of the cells upon stimulation by endotoxin Okamura et al., Infection and Immunity, 63, p. 3966 (1995); H. Okamura et al., Nature, 378, p. 88 (1995). We used the Cos cell co-expression system (Example 23) to examine whether the intracellular cleavage of pro-IGIF by ICE would facilitate the export of mature IGIF from the cell. Such is the case for pro-IL-lp when it is cleaved by ICE into active IL-1B Thornberry et al., Nature, 356, p. 768 (1992)).
In Fig. 2A, Cos cells transfected with an expression plasmid for pro-IGIF alone (lanes 2 and 6) or in combination with an expression plasmid encoding wild type (lanes 3 and 7) or inactive mutant ICE (lanes 4 and 8) were metabolically labeled with 35 S-methionine (see, Example 24). Cell lysates (left) and conditioned medium (right) were immunoprecipitated with an anti-IGIF antiserum. The immunoprecipitated proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and fluorography (Fig. 2A).
An 18-kDa polypeptide corresponding in size to mature IGIF was detected in the conditioned medium of Cos cells co-expressing pro-IGIF and ICE, while Cos cells co-expressing pro-IGIF and an inactive ICE mutant (ICE-C285S), or pro-IGIF alone exported only very 49 low levels of pro-IGIF and no detectable mature IGIF.
We estimate that about 10% of the mature IGIF was exported from co-transfected cells, while greater than 99% of pro-IGIF was retained within the cells.
We also measured the presence of IFN-y inducing activity in cell lysates and in the conditioned medium of the above transfected cells (see, Example 24). IFN-y inducing activity was detected in both cell lysates and the conditioned medium of Cos 10 cells co-expressing pro-IGIF and ICE, but not in cells "0 expressing either pro-IGIF or ICE alone (Fig. 2B).
S00* These results indicate that ICE cleavage of pro-IGIF facilitates the export of mature, active IGIF from cells.
15 Pro-IGIF is a Physiological Substrate of ICE In Vivo To study the role of ICE in the proteolytic activation and export of IGIF under physiological conditions, we examined the processing of pro-IGIF and export of mature IGIF from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated Kupffer cells harvested from Propiobacterium acnes-elicited wild type and ICE deficient mice (Example As shown in Fig. 3A, Kupffer cells from ICE-/- mice are defective in the export of IGIF.
Kupffer cell lysates of wild type and ICE-/- mice contained similar amounts of IGIF as determined by ELISA. IGIF, however, could be detected only in the conditioned medium of wild type but not of the ICE-/cells. Thus, ICE-deficient mice synthesize pro-IGIF, but fail to export it as extracellular pro-or mature IGIF.

IGIF, Kupffer cells from wild type and ICE-/- mice were metabolically labeled with 35 S-methionine and IGIF immunoprecipitation experiments were performed on cell lysates and conditioned media as described in Example 25. These experiments demonstrated that unprocessed pro-IGIF was present in both wild type and ICE-/- Kupffer cells. However, the 18-kDa mature IGIF was present only in the conditioned medium of wild type and not ICE-/- Kupffer cells (Fig. 3B). This shows that 10 active ICE is required in cells for the export of processed IGIF out of the cell.
In addition, conditioned medium from wild type but not from ICE-/- Kupffer cells contained IFN-y inducing activity that was not attributed to the action 15 of IL-12 because it was insensitive to a neutralizing anti-IL-12 antibody. The absence of IGIF in the conditioned medium of ICE-/- Kupffer cells is consistent with the finding in Cos cells that the processing of pro-IGIF by ICE is required for the export of active IGIF.
Figs. 3C and 3D show that, in vivo, ICE-/mice have reduced serum levels of IGIF and IFN-y, respectively. Wild type and ICE-/- mice (n=3) primed with heat-inactivated P. acnes were challenged with LPS (Example 26), and the levels of IGIF (Fig. 3C) and IFN-y (Fig. 3D) in the sera of challenged mice were measured by ELISA three hours after LPS challenge (Example The sera of ICE-/- mice stimulated by P. acnes and LPS contained reduced levels of IGIF (Fig. 3C) and no detectable IFN-y inducing activity in the presence of an anti-IL-12 antibody. The reduced 51 serum levels of IGIF likely accounts for the significantly lower levels of IFN-y in the sera of ICE-/- mice (Fig. 3D), because we have observed no significant difference in the production of IL-12 in ICE-/- mice under these conditions. Consistent with this interpretation is the finding that non-adherent splenocytes from wild type and ICE-/- mice produced similar amounts of IFN-y when stimulated with recombinant active IGIF in vitro. Thus the impaired S. 10 production of IFN-y is not due to any apparent defect in the T cells of the ICE-/- mice.
Taken together, these results establish a critical role for ICE in processing the IGIF precursor and in the export of active IGIF both in vitro and in 15 vivo.

To examine in more detail the relationship between serum levels of IFN-y and ICE activity in vivo, a time course after challenge of wild type and ICE-deficient mice with LPS was performed (Example 26) (Fig. 4).
*6 Fig. 4 shows a time course increase of serum S"IFN-y in wild type mice, with sustained levels of 217 ng/ml occurring from 9-18 hrs after LPS challenge.
As predicted by the experiments discussed above, serum IFN-y levels were significantly lower in ICE-/- mice, with a maximum of 2 ng/ml achieved over the same time period, which is approximately 15% of the level observed in wild type mice (Fig. 4).
Animals were also observed for clinical signs of sepsis and body temperature was measured at 4-hour intervals in wild type and ICE-/- mice challenged with mg/kg or 100 mg/kg LPS (ICE-/-only). Results in 52 Fig. 4 show that wild type mice experienced a significant decrease in body temperature (from 36'C to 26'C) within 12 hours of LPS challenge. Signs of clinical sepsis were evident and all animals expired within 24-28 hours.
In contrast, ICE-/- mice challenged with mg/kg LPS experienced only a 3"-4"C decrease in body 0" temperature with minimal signs of distress and with no observed lethality. ICE-/- mice challenged with 10 100 mg/kg LPS experienced clinical symptoms, a decrease in body temperature, and mortality similar to wild type mice at the 30 mg/kg LPS dose.

00 Since the processing and secretion of biologically active IGIF is mediated by ICE, we compared the activity of a reversible ICE inhibitor (Ac-YVAD-CHO) on IL-If and IFN-y production in a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) assay (Examples 27).
Results in Fig. 5 show a similar potency for the ability of the Ac-YVAD-CHO ICE inhibitor to decrease IL-1 and IFN-y production in human PBMCs, with an IC 50 of 2.5 iM for each. Similar results were obtained in studies with wild type mouse splenocytes.
These findings provide additional evidence that pro-IGIF is a physiological substrate for ICE and suggest that ICE inhibitors will be useful tools for controlling physiological levels of IGIF and IFN-y.
In summary, we have found that ICE controls IGIF and IFN-y levels in vivo and in vitro and that ICE inhibitors can decrease levels of IGIF and IFN-y in human cells. These results have been described in co- 53 0* Sr 0

Compositions and Methods The pharmaceutical compositions and methods of this invention will be useful for controlling IL-1, IGIF and IFN-y levels in vivo. The methods and compositions of this invention will thus be useful for treating or reducing the advancement, severity of 10 effects of IL-1, IGIF- and IFN-y-mediated conditions.
The compounds of this invention are effective ligands for ICE. Accordingly, these compounds are capable of targeting and inhibiting events in IL-1-, apoptosis-, IGIF-, and IFN-y-mediated diseases, and, thus, the ultimate activity of that protein in inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, destructive bone, proliferative disorders, infectious diseases, and degenerative diseases. For example, the compounds of this invention inhibit the conversion of precursor IL- 20 p1 to mature IL-10 by inhibiting ICE. Because ICE is essential for the production of mature IL-1, inhibition of that enzyme effectively blocks initiation of IL-1mediated physiological effects and symptoms, such as inflammation, by inhibiting the production of mature IL-1. Thus, by inhibiting IL-10 precursor activity, the compounds of this invention effectively function as IL-1 inhibitors.
Similarly, compounds of this invention inhibit the conversion of precursor IGIF to mature IGIF. Thus, by inhibiting IGIF production, the compounds of this invention effectively function as inhibitors of IFN-y production.

69 Example 1 Inhibition of ICE We obtained inhibition constants (K i and values for compounds of this invention using the three methods described below: 1. Enzyme assay with UV-visible substrate This assay is run using an Succinyl-Tyr-Val- Ala-Asp-pNitroanilide substrate. Synthesis of analogous substrates is described by L. A. Reiter (Int.
10 J. Peptide Protein Res. 43, 87-96 (1994)). The assay mixture contains:
I
65 pl buffer (10mM Tris, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% CHAPS @pH 8.1) 10 pl ICE (50 nM final concentration to give a rate of ~imOD/min) 5 pl DMSO/Inhibitor mixture ul 400pM Substrate (80 pM final concentration) 100pl total reaction volume The visible ICE assay is run in a 96-well microtiter plate. Buffer, ICE and DMSO (if inhibitor o*oo 20 is present) are added to the wells in the order listed.
The components are left to incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes starting at the time that all components are present in all wells. The microtiter plate reader is set to incubate at 37 OC. After the 15 minute 25 incubation, substrate is added directly to the wells and the reaction is monitored by following the release of the chromophore (pNA) at 405 603 nm at 37 °C for minutes. A linear fit of the data is performed and the rate is calculated in mOD/min. DMSO is only present during experiments involving inhibitors, buffer is used to make up the volume to 100 pl in the other experiments.
2. Enzyme Assay with Fluorescent Substrate This assay is run essentially according to Thornberry et al. (Nature 356: 768-774 (1992)), using substrate 17 referenced in that article. The substrate 70 is: Acetyl-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC). The following components are mixed: pl buffer(l0mM Tris,lmM DTT, 0.1% CHAPS @pH8.1) pl ICE (2 10 nM final concentration) 5 pl DMSO/inhibitor solution ul 150 pM Substrate (30 pM final) 100pl total reaction volume The assay is run in a 96 well microtiter plate. Buffer and ICE are added to the wells. The 10 components are left to incubate at 37 OC for 15 minutes in a temperature-controlled wellplate. After the minute incubation, the reaction is started by adding substrate directly to the wells and the reaction is monitored @37 °C for 30 minutes by following the release of the AMC fluorophore using an excitation wavelength for 380 nm and an emission wavelength of 460 nm. A linear fit of the data for each well is performed and a rate is determined in fluorescence units per second.
For determination of enzyme inhibition constants (Ki) or the mode of inhibition (competitive, uncompetitive or noncompetitive), the rate data determined in the enzyme assays at varying inhibitor concentrations are computer-fit to standard enzyme 25 kinetic equations (see I. H. Segel, Enzyme Kinetics, Wiley-Interscience, 1975).
The determination of second order rate constants for irreversible inhibitors was performed by fitting the fluorescence vs time data to the progress equations of Morrison. Morrison, Mol. Cell.
Biophys., 2, pp. 347-368 (1985). Thornberry et al.

o 0 0 where no prior complex formation can be observed kinetically, the second order rate constants (kinact) are derived directly from the slope of the linear plots of kobs vs. For compounds where prior complex formation to the enzyme can be detected, the hyperbolic plots of kobs vs. are fit to the equation for saturation kinetics to first generate K i and The second order rate constant kinact is then given by k'/Ki.
10 3. PBMC Cell assay Assay with a Mixed Population of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) or Enriched Adherent Mononuclear Cells Processing of pre-IL-10 by ICE can be measured in cell culture using a variety of cell sources. Human PBMC obtained from healthy donors provides a mixed population of lymphocyte subtypes and mononuclear cells that produce a spectrum of interleukins and cytokines in response to many classes of physiological stimulators. Adherent mononuclear cells from PBMC provides an enriched source of normal monocytes for selective studies of cytokine production by activated cells.
Experimental Procedure: An initial dilution series of test compound in DMSO or ethanol is prepared, with a subsequent dilution into RPMI-10% FBS media (containing 2 mM L-glutamine, 10 mM HEPES, 50 U and 50 ug/ml pen/strep) respectively to yield drugs at 4x the final test concentration containing 0.4% DMSO or 0.4% ethanol.
The final concentration of DMSO is 0.1% for all drug dilutions. A concentration titration which brackets the apparent K i for a test compound determined in an ICE inhibition assay is generally used for the primary compound screen.
72 Generally 5-6 compound dilutions are tested and the cellular component of the assay is performed in duplicate, with duplicate ELISA determinations on each cell culture supernatant.
PBMC Isolation and IL-1 Assay: Buffy coat cells isolated from one pint human blood (yielding 40-45 ml final volume plasma plus cells) are diluted with media to 80 ml and LeukoPREP separation tubes (Becton Dickinson) are each overlaid 10 with 10 ml of cell suspension. After 15 min centrifugation at 1500-1800 xg, the plasma/media layer is aspirated and then the mononuclear cell layer is collected with a Pasteur pipette and transferred to a ml conical centrifuge tube (Corning). Media is added to bring the volume to 15 ml, gently mix the cells by inversion and centrifuge at 300 xg for 15 min.
Resuspend the PBMC pellet in a small volume of media, count cells and adjust to 6 x 106 cells/ml.
For the cellular assay, 1.0 ml of the cell 20 suspension is added to each well of a 24-well flat bottom tissue culture plate (Corning), 0.5 ml test compound dilution and 0.5 ml LPS solution (Sigma #L-3012; 20 ng/ml solution prepared in complete
RPMI
media; final LPS concentration 5 ng/ml). The 0.5 ml additions of test compound and LPS are usually sufficient to mix the contents of the wells. Three control mixtures are run per experiment, with either LPS alone, solvent vehicle control, and/or additional media to adjust the final culture volume to 2.0 ml.
The cell cultures are incubated for 16-18 hr at 37 °C in the presence of 5% CO2.
At the end of the incubation period, cells are harvested and transferred to 15 ml conical centrifuge tubes. After centrifugation for 10 min at 73 200 xg, supernatants are harvested and transferred to ml Eppendorf tubes. It may be noted that the cell pellet may be utilized for a biochemical evaluation of pre-IL-lp and/or mature IL-10 content in cytosol extracts by western blotting or ELISA with pre-IL-lp specific antisera.
Isolation of Adherent Mononuclear cells: PBMC are isolated and prepared as described S' above. Media (1.0 ml) is first added to wells followed 10 by 0.5 ml of the PBMC suspension. After a one hour incubation, plates are gently shaken and nonadherent cells aspirated from each well. Wells are then gently washed three times with 1.0 ml of media and final resuspended in 1.0 ml media. The enrichment for adherent cells generally yields 2.5-3.0 x 105 cells per well. The addition of test compounds, LPS, cell incubation conditions and processing of supernatants proceeds as described above.

We have used Quantikine kits (R&D Systems) for measurement of mature IL-10. Assays are performed according to the manufacturer's directions. Mature IL-10 levels of about 1-3 ng/ml in both PBMC and adherent mononuclear cell positive controls are observed. ELISA assays are performed on 1:5, 1:10 and 1:20 dilutions of supernatants from LPSpositivecontrols to select the optimal dilution for supernatants in the test panel.
The inhibitory potency of the compounds can be represented by an IC 50 value, which is the concentration of inhibitor at which 50% of mature is detected in the supernatant as compared to the positive controls.

Compounds with lower clearance rates have improved pharmacokinetic properties relative to peptidyl ICE inhibitors.
We obtained the rate of clearance in the mouse (P/min/kg) for several compounds of this invention using the method described below: 15 Sample Preparation and Dosing Compounds were dissolved in sterile TRIS solution (0.02M or 0.05M) at a concentration of Where necessary to ensure a complete solution, the sample was first dissolved in a minimum 20 of dimethylacetamide (maximum of 5% of total solution volume) then diluted with the TRIS solution.
The drug solution was administered to CD-1 mice (Charles River Laboratories 26 -31g) via the tailvein at a dose volume of 10ml/kg giving a drug dose of Mice were dosed in groups of 5 for each timepoint (generally from 2 minutes to 2 hours) then at the appropriate time the animals were anaesthetised with halothane and the blood collected into individual heparinized tubes by jugular severance. The blood samples were cooled to 0 OC then the plasma separated and stored at -20 oC until assayed.
75 Bioassav Drug concentration in the plasma samples were determined by HPLC analysis with UV or MS (ESP) detection. Reverse phase chromatography was employed using a variety of bonded phases from C1 to C18 with eluents composed of aqueous buffer/acetonitrile mixtures run under isocratic conditions.
Quantitation was by external standard methods with calibration curves constructed by spiking plasma 10 with drug solutions to give concentrations in the range of 0.5 to Prior to analysis the plasma samples were deproteinated by the addition of acetonitrile, methanol, trichloroacetic acid or perchloric acid followed by centrifugation at 10,000g for 10 minutes.
Sample volumes of 20pl to 50pl were injected for analysis.

Example 3 Peptidyl ICE inhibitors are cleared rapidly with clearance rates greater than 80 ml/min/kg.
Compounds with lower clearance rates have improved pharmacokinetic properties relative to peptidyl ICE inhibitors.
We obtained the rate of clearance in the rat (ml/min/kg) for several compounds of this invention using the method described below: In vivo Rat Clearance Assay Cannulations of the jugular and carotid vessels of rats under anesthesia were performed one day prior to the pharmacokinetic study.

Jaffee; 'Cannulation techniques for the collection blood and other bodily fluids'; in: Animal Models; p. 480-495; N.J. Alexander, Ed.; Academic Press; 20 (1978). Drug (10mg/mL) was administered via the jugular vein in a vehicle usually consisting of: propylene glycol/saline, containing 100mM sodium bicarbonate in a 1:1 ratio. Animals were dosed with 10-20 mg drug/kg and blood samples were drawn at 0, 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, and 90 minutes from an indwelling carotid catheter. The blood was centrifuged to plasma and stored at -20 OC until analysis.
Pharmacokinetic analysis of data was performed by nonlinear regression using standard software such as RStrip (MicroMath Software, UT) and/or Pcnonlin (SCI Software, NC) to obtain clearance values.
78 Analytical: Rat plasma was extracted with an equal volume of acetonitrile (containing 0.1% TFA). Samples were then centrifuged at approximately 1,000 x g and the supernatant analyzed by gradient HPLC. A typical assay procedure is described below.
200 pL of plasma was precipitated with 200 pL of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in acetonitrile and 10 pL of a 50% aqueous zinc chloride solution, vortexed 10 then centrifuged at -1000 x g and the supernatant collected and analyzed by HPLC.

Example 4 Whole Blood Assay for IL-l11 Production We obtained IC 50 values for several compounds of this invention using the method described below: Purpose: The whole blood assay is a simple method for measuring the production of IL-lb (or other cytokines) and the activity of potential inhibitors. The complexity of this assay system, with its full complement of lymphoid and inflammatory cell types, spectrum of plasma proteins and red blood cells is an ideal in vitro representation of human in vivo physiologic conditions.

0 Aliquot 0.25ml of blood into 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes.
**so Note: be sure to invert the whole blood sample tubes after every two aliquots. Differences in replicates 20 may result if the cells sediment and are not uniformly suspended. Use of a positive displacement pipette will also minimize differences between replicate aliquots.
Prepare drug dilutions in sterile pyrogenfree saline by serial dilution. A dilution series which brackets the apparent K i for a test compound determined in an ICE inhibition assay is generally used for the primary compound screen. For extremely hydrophobic compounds, we have prepared compound dilutions in fresh plasma obtained from the same blood donor or in PBS-containing 5% DMSO to enhance solubility.
Add 25 pl test compound dilution or vehicle control and gently mix the sample. Then add 5.0 pl LPS solution (250 ng/ml stocked prepared fresh: 5.0 ng/ml 80 final concentration LPS), and mix again. Incubate the tubes at 30 OC in a water bath for 16-18 hr with occasional mixing. Alternatively, the tubes can be placed in a rotator set at 4 rpm for the same incubation period. This assay should be set up in duplicate or triplicate with the following controls: negative control- no LPS; positive control- no test inhibitor; vehicle control- the highest concentration of DMSO or compound solvent used in the experiment.
10 Additional saline is added to all control tubes to normalize volumes for both control and experimental 0 whole blood test samples After the incubation period, whole blood samples are centrifuged for 10 minutes at 2000 rpm in the microfuge, plasma is transferred to a fresh microfuge tube and centrifuged at 1000 x g to pellet residual platelets if necessary. Plasma samples may be stored frozen at -70 OC prior to assay for cytokine levels by ELISA.
20 ELISA: We have used R D Systems (614 McKinley Place N.E. Minneapolis, MN 55413) Quantikine kits for measurement of IL-l1 and TNF-a. The assays are performed according to the manufacturer's directions.
We have observed IL-10 levels of 1-5 ng/ml in positive controls among a range of individuals. A 1:200 dilution of plasma for all samples has been sufficient in our experiments for ELISA results to fall on the linear range of the ELISA standard curves. It may be necessary to optimize standard dilutions if you observe differences in the whole blood assay. Nerad, J.L. et al., J. Leukocvte Biol., 52, pp. 687-692 (1992) 81 Example Inhibition of ICE homoloqs 1. Isolation of ICE homologs Expression of TX in insect cells using a baculovirus expression system. We have subcloned Tx cDNA (Faucheu et al., supra 1995) into a modified pVL1393 transfer vector, co-transfected the resultant plasmid (pVL1393/TX) into insect cells with viral DNA and identified the recombinant baculovirus. After the 10 generation of high titer recombinant virus stock, the medium was examined for TX activity using the visible ICE assay. Typically, infection of Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells at an MOI of 5 with recombinant virus stock resulted in a maximum expression after 48 hours of 4.7pg/ml. ICE was used as a standard in the assay.
Amino terminal T7 tagged versions of ICE or TX were also expressed. Designed originally to assist the identification and purification of the recombinant *0* 20 proteins, the various constructs have also allowed examination of different levels of expression and of the relative levels of apoptosis experienced by the different homologs. Apoptosis in the infected Sf9 cells (examined using a Trypan Blue exclusion assay) was increased in the lines expressing ICE or TX relative to cells infected with the viral DNA alone.
Expression and purification of N-terminally (His) 6 tagged CPP32 in E. coll. A cDNA encoding a CPP32 (Fernandes-Alnemri et al, supra 1994) polypeptide starting at Ser (29) was PCR amplified with primers that add in frame XhoI sites to both the 5' and 3' ends of the cDNA and the resulting XhoI fragment ligated into a Xho I-cut pET-15b expression vector to create an in frame fusion with (his) 6 tag at the n-terminus of 82 the fusion protein. The predicted recombinant protein starts with the amino acid sequence of MGSSHHHHHHSSGLVPRGSHMLE, where LVPRGS represents a thrombin cleavage site, followed by CPP32 starting at Ser E. coli BL21(DE3) carrying the plasmid were grown to log phase at 30 oC and were then induced with 0.8 mM IPTG. Cells were harvested two hours after IPTG addition. Lysates were prepared and soluble proteins were purified by Ni-agarose chromatography. All of the 10 expressed CPP32 protein was in the processed form. Nterminal sequencing analysis indicated that the processing occurred at the authentic site between Asp (175) and Ser (176). Approximately 50 pg of CPP32 protein from 200 ml culture. As determined by active site titration, the purified proteins were fully active. The protease preparation were also very active in vitro in cleaving PARP as well as the synthetic s.e. DEVD-AMC substrate (Nicholson et al, supra 1995).
2. Inhibition of ICE homologs 20 The selectivity of a panel of reversible inhibitors for ICE homologs is depicted in Table 1. ICE enzyme assays were performed according to Wilson et al (supra 1994) using a YVAD-AMC substrate (Thornberry et al, supra 1992). Assay of TX activity was performed using the ICE substrate under identical conditions to ICE. Assay of CPP32 was performed using a DEVD-AMC substrate (Nicholson et al., supra 1995). In general, there is low selectivity between ICE and TX for a wide range of scaffolds. None of the synthetic ICE compounds tested are effective inhibitors of CPP32. Assay of the reversible compounds at the highest concentration (1 pM) revealed no inhibition.

Compounds were S"evaluated for their ability to block anti-Fas-induced apopotosis. In a preliminary experiment using RT-PCR, we detected mRNA encoding ICE, TX, ICH-1, CPP32 and CMH-1 in unstimulated U937 cells. We used this cell line for apoptosis studies. U937 cells were seeded in culture at 1 x 105 cells/ml and grown to ~5 x 106 cells/ml. For apoptosis experiments, 2 x 106 cells were plated in 24-well tissue culture plates in 1 ml RPMI-1640-10% FBS and stimulated with 100 ng/ml anti- Fas antigen antibody (Medical and Biological Laboratories, Ltd.).

Example 7 In vivo acute assay for efficacy as anti-inflammatory agent LPS-Induced IL-1l Production.
Efficacy of 214e and 217e was evaluated in CD1 mice (n=6 per condition) challenged with LPS mg/kg IP). The test compounds were prepared in olive oil:DMSO:ethanol (90:5:5) and administered by IP injection one hour after LPS. Blood was collected seven hours after LPS challenge. Serum IL-10 levels 20 were measure by ELISA. Results in Fig. 6 show a dose dependent inhibition of IL-10 secretion by 214e, with an ED 50 of approximately 15 mg/kg. Similar results were obtained in a second experiment. A significant inhibition of IL-10 secretion was also observed in 217e treated mice (Fig. However, a clear dose response was not apparent.
Compounds 214e and 217e (50 mg/kg) were also administered by oral gavage to assess absorption.
Results in Fig. 8 show that 214e, but not 217e when administered orally inhibited IL-10 secretion, suggesting potential for oral efficacy of ICE inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents.
85 The efficacy of analogs of 214e were also evaluated in LPS challenged mice after IP administration (Fig. 9) and PO administration (Fig. 3 Inhibition of IL-03 production by analogs of 214e in LPs-chellenged mice after P0 and IP administration (50 mg/kg).

To a solution of t-butyl 9-amino-6,10-dioxo- 5 1,2, 3 ,4, 7 ,8,9,10-octahydro-6H-pyridazino[ 1,2-a][l, 2 ]diazepine-l-carboxylate (GB 2,128,984; 340 mg, 1.15 mmol) in CH 2 C12 was added benzoylformic acid (260 mg, 1.7 mmol), HOBT (230 mg, 1.7 mmol) and EDC (340 mg, 1.7 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours, poured into 1N HC1 and extracted with CH 2 C12. The organic extracts were further washed with saturated NaHCO 3 dried over MgSO 4 and concentrated to afford 1999 as a pale yellow solid.

Drugs are administered by oral gavage in ethanol/PEG/water, 0-cyclodextrin, labrosol/ water or cremophor/water vehicle. The mice are sacrificed at 4 hours post carrageenan administration, S* then injected IP with 2 ml of saline containing heparin. After gentle massage of the peritoneum, a small incision is made, the contents collected and volume recorded.

Chick sternum Type II collagen (4 mg/kg in 10 mM acetic 20 acid) was emulsified with an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) by repeated passages (400) between two 10 ml glass syringes with a gauge 16 double-hub needle. Mice were immunized by intradermal injection (50 pl; 100pl CII per mouse) of collagen emulsion 21 days later at the contra-lateral side of the tail base. Drugs were administered twice a day 25 and 50 mg/kg) by oral gavage approximately 7 h apart. Vehicles used included ethanol/PEG/water, 0-cyclodextrin, labrosol/water or cremophor/water.
Drug treatments were initiated within 2 h of the CII booster immunization. Inflammation was scored on a 1 to 4 scale of increasing severity on the two front paws and the scores are added to give the final score.
Results in the Figs. 12 and 13 show prodrugs 412f and 412d inhibit inflammation in collagen-induced arthritits in mice after oral adminstration. Compound 193 214e did not inhibit inflammation when dosed (50 mg/kg) once a day by oral gavage.
Example 17 In vivo bioavailability determination The drugs (10-100 mg/kg) were dosed orally to rats (10 mL/kg) in ethanol/PEG/water, 0-cyclodextrin, labrosol/water or cremophor/water. Blood samples were drawn from the carotid artery at 0.25, 0.50, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours after dosing, centrifuged to 1 10 plasma and stored at -70 0 C until analysis. Aldehyde concentrations were determined using an enzymatic assay. Pharmacokinetic analysis of data was performed by non-linear regression using RStrip (MicroMath Software, UT). Drug availability values were determined as follows: (AUC of drug after oral prodrug dosing/AUC of drug after i.v. dosing of drug)x(dose i.v./dose x100%.
Results in Table 13 show that prodrugs 412f o* and 412d give significant blood levels of drug and have good drug availability when dosed orally. Blood levels of 214e were not detected when it was dosed orally.

Cell Biol., 8, p. 466 (1988)).
194 Generally, plasmids (3 pg) encoding active ICE (above), or the three ICE-related enzymes TX, CPP32, and CMH-1 in the pCDLSR expression vector Faucheu et al., EMBO, 14, p. 1914 (1995); Y. Gu et al., EMBO, 14, p. 1923 (1995); J. A. Lippke et al., J. Biol. Chem., 271, p. 1825 (1996)), were transfected into subconfluent monolayers of Cos cells in dishes using the DEAE-dextran method Gu et al., EMBO 14, p. 1923 (1995)). Twenty-four hours later, 10 cells were lysed and the lysates subjected to SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting using an antiserum specific for IGIF Okamura et al., Nature, 378, p. 88 (1995).
Polymerase chain reaction was used to introduce Nde I sites at the 5' and 3' ends of the 15 murine pro-IGIF cDNA using the following primers: GGAATTCCATATGGCTGCCATGTCAGAAGAC (forward) and GGTTAACCATATGCTAACTTTGATGTAAGTTAGTGAG (reverse). The resulting NdeI fragment was ligated into E. coli 0 expression vector pET-15B(Novagen) at the NdeI site to create a plasmid that directs the synthesis of a polypeptide of 213 amino acids consisting of a 21residue peptide (MGSSHHHHHHSSGLVPRGSHM, where LVPRGS represents a thrombin cleavage site) fused in-frame to the N-terminus of pro-IGIF at Ala2, as confirmed by DNA 25 sequencing of the plasmid and by N-terminal sequencing of the expressed proteins. E. coli strain BL21(DE3) carrying the plasmid was induced with 0.8 mM isopropyll-thio-o-D-galactopyranoside for 1.5 hours at 37 0
C,
harvested, and lysed by microfluidization (Microfluidic, Watertown, MA) in Buffer A (20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, 300 mM NaC1, 2 mM dithiothreitol, glycerol, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, and pg/ml leupeptin). Lysates were cleared by centrifugation at 100,000 x g for 30 min. (His)6- 195 tagged pro-IGIF protein was then purified from the supernatant by Ni-NTA-agarose (Qiagen) chromatography under conditions recommended by the manufacturer.
In Vitro pro-IGIF Cleavage Reactions In vitro cleavage reactions (30 pl) contained 2 pg of purified pro-IGIF and various concentrations of the purified proteases in a buffer containing 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.2, 0.1% Triton X-100, 2 mM DTT, 1 mM PMSF and 2.5 pg/ml leupeptin and were incubated for 1 hour 10 at 37'C. Conditions for cleavage by granzyme B were as *described previously Gu et al., J. Biol. Chem., 271, p. 10816 (1996)). Cleavage products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE on 16% gels and Coomassie Blue staining, and were subjected to N-terminal amino acid sequencing 15 using an ABI automated peptide sequencer under conditions recommended by the manufacturer.
Kinetic Parameters of IGIF Cleavage by ICE The kinetic parameters (kcat/KM, KM, and kcat) for IGIF cleavage by ICE were determined as follows.
3S-methionine-labeled pro-IGIF (3000 cpm, prepared by in vitro transcription and translation using, the TNT T7-coupled reticulocyte lysate system (Promega) and pro-IGIF cDNA in a pSP73 vector as template) were incubated in reaction mixtures of 60 pl containing 0.1 25 to 1 nM recombinant ICE and 190 nM to 12 pM of unlabeled pro-IGIF for 8-10 min at 37'C. Cleavage product concentrations were determined by SDS-PAGE and Phospholmager analyses. The kinetic parameters were calculated by nonlinear regression fitting of the rate vs. concentration data to the Michaelis-Menten equation using the program Enzfitter (Biosoft).
IFN-y Induction Assays A.E7 Thl cells Quill and R. H. Schwartz, J. Immunol., 138, p. 3704 (1987)) (1.3 x 105 cells in 196 0.15 ml Click's medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 50 pM 2-mercaptoethanol and 50 units/ml IL-2) in 96 -well plates were treated with IGIF for 18-20 hours and the culture supernatant were assayed for IFN-y by ELISA (Endogen, Cambridge, MA).
Example 19 Processing of pro-IGIF by ICE In Cos Cells Cos cells were transfected with various expression plasmid combinations as described in Example 10 18. Transfected Cos cells (3.5 x 105 cells in a dish) were labeled for 7 hours with 1 ml of methioninefree DMEM containing 2.5% normal DMEM, 1% dialyzed fetal bovine serum and 300 pCi/ml 35S-methionine Express Protein Labeling-Mix, New England Nuclear).
15 Cell lysates (prepared in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, 5 mM N-ethylmaleimide, 1 mM PMSF, 2.5 pg/ml leupeptine) or conditioned medium were immunoprecipitated with an antiIGIF antibody that recognizes both the precursor and the mature forms of IGIF Okamura et al., Nature, 378, p. 88 (1995)).
Immunoprecipitated proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and fluorography (Fig. 2A).
We also measured the presence of IFN-y 25 inducing activity in the cell lysates and the conditioned media of transfected cells (Fig. 2B).
Transfected Cos cells (3.5 x 105 cells in a 35-mm dish) were grown in 1 ml medium for 18 hours. Media was harvested and used at 1:10 final dilution in the IFN-y induction assay (Example 18). Cos cell pellets from the same transfection were lysed in 100 pl of 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.0, by freeze-thawing 3 times. Lysates were cleared by centrifugation as described above and were used at a 1:10 dilution in the assay.
197 Example IGIF is a physiological substrate of ICE Wild type and ICE-/- mice were primed with heat-inactivated P. acnes, and Kupffer cells were isolated from these mice 7 days after priming and were then challenged with 1 pg/ml LPS for 3 hours. The amounts of IGIF in the conditioned media were measured by ELISA.
Wild type or ICE-deficient mice were injected 10 intraperitoneally with heat-killed p. acnes as described Okamura et al., Infection and Immunity, 63, p. 3966 (1995)). Kupffer cells were prepared seven Sdays later according to Tsutsui et al. Tsutsui et al., Hepato-Gastroenterol., 39, p. 553 (1992)) except a 15 nycodenz gradient was used instead of metrizamide. For each experiment, Kupffer cells from 2-3 animals were pooled and cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with fetal calf serum and 1 pg/ml LPS. Cell lysates and conditioned medium were prepared 3 hours later.
Kupffer cells from wild type and ICE-/- mice were metabolically labeled with S-methionine as for Cos cells (described above in Example 19) except that methionine-free RPMI 1640 was used in place of DMEM.
IGIF immunoprecipitation experiments were performed on 25 cell lysates and conditioned media and immunoprecipitates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and fluorography as described in Example 18. See Fig. 3.
Example 21 Induction of IFN-y Production In Vivo LPS mixed with 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose in PBS, pH 7.4, was administered to mice by intraperitoneal injection (30 mg/kg LPS) in a dose volume of 10 ml/kg. Blood was collected every 3 h for 24 h from groups of three ICE-deficient or wild type 198 mice. Serum IFN-y levels were determined by ELISA (Endogen).
Example 22 IGIF and IFN-y Inhibition Assays Inhibition of IGIF processing by ICE inhibitors was measured in ICE inhibition assays as described herein (see Example 1 and Table 14).
Human PBMC Assays Human buffy coat cells were obtained from 10 blood donors and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated by centrifugation in LeukoPrep tubes (Becton-Dickinson, Lincoln Park, NJ). PBMC were **added (3 x 10 /well) to 24 well Corning tissue culture plates and after 1 hr incubation at 370C, non-adherent cells were removed by gently washing. Adherent mononuclear cells were stimulated with LPS (1 pg/ml) with or without ICE inhibitor in 2 ml RPMI-1640-10% FBS. After 16-18 hr incubation at 37 0 C, IGIF and IFN-y were quantitated in culture supernatants by ELISA.
For example, we obtained the following data for compound 412 of this invention using the methods described herein. The structure of compound 412 is shown below.

The following illustrates a preferred method: 199 A- A O' N A-I A C-I H OR 5 1 To a solution of A (1.1 equivalent) in CH 2 Cl 2 (or DMF, or CH 2 C1 2 :DMF is added triphenylphosphine (0-0.5 equivalent), a nucleophilic scavenger (2-50 equivalents) and tetrakis-triphenylphosphine 5 palladium(0) (0.05-0.1 equivalent) at ambient temperature under inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon).
After 10 minutes, the above reaction mixture is optionally concentrated, then a solution of acid A-I in
CH
2 Cl 2 (or DMF, or CH 2 Cl 2 :DMF is added followed by addition of HOBT (1.1 equivalent) and EDC (1.1 equivalent). The resulting reaction mixture is allowed to stir at ambient temperature 1 hour-48 hours to provide coupled product C-I.
Various nucleophilic scavengers may be used 15 in the above process. Merzouk and Guibe, Tetrahedron Letters, 33, pp. 477-480 (1992); Guibe and Balavoine, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 52, pp. 4984-4993 (1987)). Preferred nucleophilic scavengers that may be used include: dimedone, morpholine, trimethylsilyl dimethylamine and dimethyl barbituric acid. More preferred nuclophilic scavengers are trimethylsilyl dimethylamine (2-5 equivalents) and dimethyl barbituric (5-50 equivalents). When the nucleophilic scavenger is trimethylsilyl dimethylamine, the above reaction mixture must be concentrated prior to addition of A-I.
