Vitronectin Receptor Antagonists FIELD OF TH[E INVENTION
This invention relates to ~ In~ y active compounds which inhibit the vitronectin receptor and are useful for the treatment of; " nA I ~ irll e cancer and ~ud;ovc,~ disorders, such as 2ILh~,lùsuL,lu~l~ and restenosis, and diseases wherein bone resorption is a factor, such as o"~uluulu~
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Integrins are a ~u~J~,lrall81y of cell adhesion receptors, which are ,,l. "I",i,Ar t~ly~u~lut~,...s expressed on a variety of cells. These cell surface adhesion receptors include gpIIb /IIIa, the fibrinogen receptor, and avfs3, the 15 vitronectin receptor. The fibrinogen receptor gpIIb /IIIa is expressed on the platelet surface and it mediates platelet -AEEr~.gAtinn and the formation of a hemostatic clot at the site of a bleeding wound. Philips, et aL, Blood., 1988, 71, 831. The vitronectin receptor avB3 is expressed on a number of cells, including ~n~ln~h~-liAI smooth muscle, osteoclast, and tumor cells, and, thus, it has a variety of functions. The av~3 20 receptor expressed on the membrane of osteoclast cells mediates the bone resportion process and contributes to the d~.lvlul~ of U~t~,UIJUlU~;~. Ross, et al., J. BioL
Chem., 1987, 262, 7703. The avB3 receptor expressed on human aortic smooth muscle cells stimulates their migration into neointima, which leads to the formation of dlll~lu,~ lu,ls and restenosis after angioplasty. Brown, et aL, Cu,.ll,, . ~,,lar 25 Res., 1994, 28,1815. Additionally, a recent study has shown that a avU, antagonist is able to promote tumor regression by inducing apoptosis of angiogenic blood vessels. Brooks, et aL, Cell, 1994, 79, 1157. Thus, agents that would block the vitronectin receptor would be useful in treating diseases mediated by this receptor, such as u~ u~u~is~ a~ ,lua~ ,lu,;:" restenosis and cancer.

Wo 96/00730 ,~. i. . 2~

The vitronectin receptor is known to bind to bone matrix proteins, such as bone sialoprotein and ~L-. L r ~ which contain the tri-peptide Arg-Gly-Asp (or RGD) motif. Thus, Horton, et aL, Exp. Cell Res. l99L /95~ 368 disclose that RGD-containing peptides and an anti-vitronectin receptor antibody (23C6) inhibit dentine resorption and cell spreading by osteoclasts. In addition, Sato, et aL, J. Cell Biol. 1990~ 111, 1713 disclose that echistatin, a snake venom peptide which contains the RGD sequence, is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption in tissue culture, and inhibits attachment of osteoclasts to bone. Fisher, et al., Erdocrinology 1993, 132~ 1411, has further shown that echistatin inhibits bone resorption in vivo in the rat. Bertolini et aL, J. Bone Min. Res., 6~ Sup. 1~ S146~ 252 have shown that cylco-S,S-N~acetyi-cysteinyl-N~' methyl-argininyl-glycyl-aspartyl-p~ninill~min~ inhibits osteoclast attachment to bone. EP 5Z8 587 and 528 586 report substituted phenyl derivatives which inhibit osteoclast mediated boneresorption.
Alig et al., EP 0 381 033~ Hartman, et al., EP 0 540~334~ Bl~kburn, et al., WO 93/08174, Bondinell, et al., WO 93tO0095~ Blackburn, et al. WO 95/04057~
Egbertson, et al, EP 0 478 328~ Sugihara, et al. EP 529~858, Porter, et al., EP 0 542 363~ and Fisher, et al., EP 0 635 492 disclose certain c~-mpn~nn-lc that are useful for inhibiting the fibrinogen receptor. It has now been discovered that certain ~I,u~ lu,u~ t~l~ substituted compounds are potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor.
In particular, it has been discovered that such compounds are more potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor and such compounds contain a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This invention comprises novel compounds which are more potent inhibitors 10 of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor. The compounds of the instant invention comprise a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template that is linked to a nitrogen-containing five-membered ring, which is optionally fused to an aromatic six-membered ring. The fibrinogen receptor antagonist template is substituted by an aliphatic substituent which contains an acidic moiety. It is preferred that about 15 fourteen intervening covalent bonds via the shortest ;..n~,.... 1~ ..1~ path will exist between the acidic group of the fibrinogen receptor antagonist template and the nitrogen of the optionally fused five-membered ring.
As used herein, the term "fibrinogen receptor antagonist template" means the core structure of a fibrinogen receptor antagonist, said core being substituted by an 20 acidic group and said core being linked to an organic group substituted with a basic nitrogen moiety. A fibrinogen receptor antagonist is an agent that inhibits the binding of fibrinogen to the platelet-bound fibrinogen receptor GPIIb-IIIa. It is an object of this invention that a fib~inogen receptor antagonist is converted to avitronectin receptor antagonist by replacing the organic group substituted with a - 25 basic nitrogen moiety in a fibrinogen receptor antagonist with an optionally fused nitrogen-containing five-membered ring, preferably an imidazole ring and, most preferably, a b ..,;., 1~ ring.

~) ~X) (I) Typical methods include coupling to form amide bonds, n,.~l. .,1,' 1;, d~ r~ ' reactions and palladium catalyzed couplings. For instance, when W
contains an ether or amine linkage, the bond may be formed by a ~
reaction, and one of L1 and L2 will contain an amino or hydroxy group and the other will contain a ,~ NI~ group, such a a chloro, bromo or iodo group. When W
contains an amide bond, typically one of L I and L2 will contain an amino group, and the other will contain a carboxylic acid group. In another approach, L 1 may be an aryl or heteroaryl bromide, iodide or llilluulul.r ~ ulrull~y IUAY derivative and L2 may contain an amino group and the amide linkage may be formed by palladium-catalyzed: ' ,ylaliu-- with carbon monoxide in a suitable solvent such as di~ ylr~ ' ' or toluene.
It will be apparent that the precise identity of L1 and L2 will be dependent upon the site of the linkage being formed. General methods for preparing the linkage -(CHR'')rU-(CHR'')s-V- are described, for example, in EP-A O 372 486 and EP-A 0 381 033 and EP-A 0 478 363, which are ~~~ . ' herein by reference.
For instance, if V is CONH, Ll may be -NH2, L2 may be OH (a in an acid) or Cl (as in an acid chloride), and R6 may be W~(CR~2)q-Z(CR~R1~)rU-(CRI2)s C(O), with any functional groups optionally protected.

Conversion of the carboxylic acid moiety of 1-Scheme II to an aldehyde can be ~, ~.... ......,pl;~h.~;i by standard ~ rL~ vy, as described in "('~ p 1;~ of Organic Synthetic Methods" (published by Wiley-T ~ ). For example, after protection of the aniline nitmgen as its tert-butyl carbamate, the carboxylic acid is converted to the ~ ~l ' v acid chloride with a suitable reagent, such as thionylchloride. The tert-butyl carbamate is lost under these conditions. The resulting acid chloride is then reduced to aldehyde 3-Scheme Il by l~JJIuv_lldliull over a suitable catalyst, for instance palladium on carbon in the presence of 2,6-lutidine. The aldehyde 3-Scheme 11 is then converted to the amine 4-Scheme 1I by reaction with2-( ~ JI~ in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, such as sodium c ~lubuluh~vlide. Altemative methods for converting an aldehyde to an amine are described in "~ ...1;..." of Organic Synthetic Methods" (published by Wiley-T. '- ~ ). The basic nitmgen atoms of 4-Scheme II are methylated under modified Eschweiler-Clarke conditions (Sondengam, B. L. er al., Tetrahedron Letters 1973, 261; Borsch, R. F.; Hassid, A. I. J. Org.

Amide coupling reagents as used herein denote reagents which may be used to form peptide bonds, Typical coupling methods employ ~ bO~ l;; ., .;~lt ~, activated w0 96/00730 ~ 2 1 9~3 ~ 6 6-anhydrides and esters and acyl halides. Reagents such as EDC, DCC, DPPA, PPA, BOP reagent, HOBt, N-hylllu~.y~ r and oxalyl chloride are typical.

Typically, the amine or aniline is coupled via its free amino group to an appropriate carboxylic acid substrate using a suitable ~.rll,olih.lide coupling agent, 10 such as N,N' diuy~,lvhrAyl ~bvdiillliv~ (DCC), optionally in the presence of catalysts such as l-hydlu~yb .,,..~ Ir (HOBt) and d;lll~,~llyldll~O pyridine (DMAP). Other methods, such as the formation of activated esters, anhydrides or acid halides, of the free carboxyl of a suitably protected acid substrate, and subsequent reaction with the free amine of a suitably protected amine, optionally in 15 the presence of a base, are also suitable. For example, a protected Boc-amino acid or Cbz-amidino benzoic acid is treated in an anhydrous solvent, such as methylene chloride or t~l.dll~Lvrul~ul(THF), in the presence of a base, such as N-methyl mnrphnlin~, DMAP or a trialkylamine, with isobutyl ~hlulurl to form the ~'activated anhydride", which is ~ p~ ~ly reacted with the free amine of a second 20 protected amino acid or aniline.

Prior to A.h i 1 ' _1. ~.l i.... of the first dose, the rats are given a single dose of a fluorescent marker (tetracycline 25mglkg, or calcein 10mg/kg) that labels the position of bone forming surfaces at that point in time. After dosing of compound has been completed, tbe rats are killed and both forelimbs are removed at the elbow, the foot is removed at the ankle and the skin removed. The sample is frozen and mounted vertically 30 on a microtome chuck. Cross sections of the midshaft region of the ulna are cut in the cryostat. The rate of bone resorption is measured ~w~ ly in the medial-dorsal ~4 Wo 96/00730 ~ "~
k ~ q 3 9 6 6 portion of the cortical bone. The ~ ulcu~ L is done as follows: the amount of bone resorbed at the periosteal surface is equal to the distance by which the periosteal surface has advanced towards the fluorescent label which had been hlcol~l~ ' at the endosteal bone formation surface on day zero; this distance is calculated by subtracting the width of S bone between the label and the periosteal surface on day 7 from the width on day zero; the resorption rate in microns per day is calculated by dividing the result by 7.
