In the reactions described hereinbefore, any reactive groups present such as hydroxy, carboxy, amino, alkylamino, imino or amidino groups may be protected during the reaction by means of conventional protecting groups which may be cleaved again after the reaction.

For example, suitable protecting groups for a hydroxy group include trimethylsilyl, acetyl, benzoyl, tert.butyl, trityl, benzyl and tetrahydropyranyl groups, suitable protecting groups for a carboxyl group include trimethylsilyl, methyl, ethyl, tert.butyl and benzyl groups, and suitable protecting groups for an amino, alkylamino or imino group include acetyl, tert.-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl, benzhydryl, trityl, methoxybenzyl, 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl and allyloxycarbonyl groups.

Furthermore, the compounds of formula I obtained may be resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers as mentioned hereinbefore. Thus, for example, cis/trans - : ~

- ~

20981~

mixtures may be resolved into their cis and trans isomers, and compounds having at least one optically active carbon atom may be resolved into their enantiomers. Thus, for example, the compounds of formula I which occur in racemate form may be separated by methods known er se (see Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in "Topics in Stereochemistry", Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical antipodes and compounds of formula I having at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be separated on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using known methods, e.g.
by chromatography and/or fractional crystallisation, into the diastereomers thereof which, if they occur in racemic form, may subsequently be separated into the enantiomers as mentioned above.

The separation of enantiomers is preferably effected by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or by reacting with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as esters or amides with the racemic compound, especially acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separation of the diastereomeric salt mixture or derivative thus obtained, e.g. on the basis of their different solubilities, whilst the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Particularly common, optically active acids include, for example, the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyl tartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. Examples of optically active alcohols include for example (+)- or (-)-menthol and examples of optically active acyl groups in amides include for example (+)- or (-)-menthyloxycarbonyl.

~ ~ ' Moreover, the compounds of formula I obtained may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids. Examples of suitable acids for this purpose include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or maleic acid.

The compounds used as starting materials are known from the literature in some cases or may be obtained by methods known from the literature. In addition, some of them are described in EP-A-4~6378 (not previously published). Thus, for example, compounds of formulae II
and IV are obtained by acylating a corresponding amidine, whilst the amidine required for this is appropriately prepared by reacting a corresponding iminoester with a corresponding amine. A compound of formula II thus obtained is then converted by hydrolysis into a corresponding compound of formula VI.

As already mentioned, the new biphenyl derivatives of formula I and the salts thereof, particularly the physiologically acceptable salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids or bases, have valuable properties.
Thus, the new compounds, in addition to having an inhibitory effect on inflammation and bone degradation, have in particular antithrombotic, antiaggregatory and tumour- or metastasis-inhibiting effects.

By way of example, the compounds of formula I were investigated for their biological effects as follows:

The inhibition of thrombocyte aggregation after oral administration of the test substance is determined ex vivo in Rhesus monkeys.

. ' ' ,, 209~8 Immediately before the oral administration of the test substance suspended in Natrosol, a blood sample is taken from the animal's cubital vein as a reference value. At defined times after administration of the substance, more blood samples are taken and investigated as follows . ~
The whole blood mixed with 3.14% sodium citrate in a volume ratio of 1:10 is centrifuged at 200 g for 15 minutes. The supernatant of platelet-rich plasma is carefully removed. The platelet-poor plasma is obtained as supernatant from the erythrocyte-rich sediment by centrifuging at 4000 g for 10 minutes.

The thrombocyte aggregation in these ex vivo samples initiated with collagen (Hormonchemie, Munich; 2 ~g/ml final concentration in platelet-rich plasma) is photometrically measured using the Born and Cross method (J. Physiol. 170: 397 (1964)). The maximum light transmittance of the platelet-rich plasma, measured after collagen stimulation, is compared with the reference value in order to determine the inhibition of aggregation at the various times of blood sampling after the administration of the substance relative to the reference value.

The compound of Example 1 inhibits the collagen-induced thrombocyte aggregation ex vivo after the oral administration of 3 mg/kg for more than 4 hours.

The compound according to the invention is well tolerated, since no toxic side effects were observed at the dosages administered.

In the light of their inhibitory effect on cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions, the new biphenyl derivatives of formula I and the physiologically acceptable addition salts thereof are suitable for combating or preventing diseases in which smaller or greater cell aggregates occur or in which cell-matrix interactions play a part, e.g. in treating or preventing venous and arterial thrombosis, cerebrovascular diseases, lung embolism, cardiac infarction, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis and the metàstasis of tumours and the treatment of genetically caused or acquired disorders of cell interactions with one another or with solid structures.
They are also suitable for parallel therapy in thrombolysis with fibrinolytics or vascular interventions such as transluminal angioplasty or in the treatment of shock, psoriasis, diabetes and inflammation.

Thus, viewed from a further aspect the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof together with at least one physiologically acceptable carrier or excipient.

Viewed from a still further aspect the invention provides the use of a compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof for the manufacture of a therapeutic agent for combating or preventing diseases in which smaller or greater cell aggregates occur or in which cell-matrix interactions play a part.

In particular, the invention provides the use of a compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof for the manufacture of a therapeutic agent for treating or preventing venous and arterial thrombosis, cerebrovascular diseases, lung embolism, cardiac infarction, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis and the metastasis of tumours and the treatment of genetically caused or acquired disorders of cell .
