Description

W O 97~2625n PCTrUS97/00572 TITLE OF THE INVENTION
INTEGRIN l~ECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS

BACKGROUND OF THE INVEN~ION
S The invention relates generally to modulating cell adhe,c;ionand to inhibiting the binding of fibrinogen and other proteins to blood plate~ets, and inhibiting the aggregation of blood platelets specifically to the gp IIb/IIIa fibrinogen receptor ,site. Fibrinogen is a glycoprotein present in blood plasma that participates in platelet aggregation and in fibrin formation. Platelets are cell-like anucleated *agments, found in the blood of al} m~mm~ls, that al.~io participate in blood coagulation.
Inter~action o~ fibrinogen with the IIb/~Ila receptor site is known to be essential for normal platelet function.
When a blood vessel is damaged by an injury or other causative factor, platelets adhere to the disrupted subendothethial surface. The adherent platelets subse4uently release biologically active constituents and aggregate. Aggregation is initiated by the binding of agonists, such as thrombin, epinephrine, or ADP to specific platelet membrane receptors. Stimulation by agonists results in exposure of latent fibrinogen receptors on the platelet surface, and binding of fibrinogen to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor complex.
Attempts have been made to use natural product~; and synthetic peptides to determine the mechanism of adhesion and platelet aggregation. For example, Rouslahti and Pierschbacher in Sci~nce, 238, 491-497 (1987), describe adhesive proteins such as fibronectin, vitronectin, osteopontin, collagens, thrombospondin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor that are present in extracellular matrices and in blood. The protein.s contain the tripeptide arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) as their glycoprotein IIb/IIIa recognition site. These arginine-glycine-aspartic acid cont~ining tripeptides are recognized by at least one member of a family of structurally related receptors, integrins, which are heterodimeric proteins with two membrane-spanning subunits. The authors state that the conformation of the tripeptide sequence in the individual proteins may be critical to recognition ~pecificity.
Cheresh in Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 84, 6471-6475, "
(19~7), describes an Arg-Gly-Asp directed adhesion receptor expressed by human endothethial cells that is structurally similar to the rIb/IIIa complex on platelet,s but is antigenically and functionally distinct. This receptor is directly involved in endothelial cell attachment to fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and vitronectin.
Pier.schbacher and Rouslahti, in J. of Biol. Chem., 262, (36), 17294- 1729~i (19~7) hypothesized that the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence alone would be a sufficient signal for receptor recognition and binding and that, therefore, the conforrnation of the tri-peptide sequence would be determinative. Various synthetic peptides were produced and the authors concluded that the sterochemical con~orrnation of ~rg-Gly-Asp as influenced by enantiomeric substitutions or additions to this ,sequence signi~lcantly influenced receptor-ligand interaction. The authors furlher showed that cyclization of a decapeptide by forming a disulfide bridge between non-terminal residues Pen and Cys, rendered the peptide much less effective at inhibiting attachment to fibronectin.
In Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 81, 59g5-59~8 (19~4), the same author.s describe tetrapeptide variants of the cell recognition site of fibronectin that retain attachment-promoting activity. Peptides having a tetrapeptide recognition site are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,5~9,g81 and 4,614,517. A number of large polypeptide fragments in the cell-binding domain of fibronectin have cell-attachment activity. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,517,686, 4,661,111 and U.S. Pat. No.
4,57~,079.
Ruggeri et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 83, 570~s-5712 (19~S6) explore a serie~s of synthetie peptides designed in lengths to 16 residues, that contain ~GD and a valine attached to the aspartic acid residue of RGD that inhibit fibrinogen binding to platelets. See also Koc~ewiak et al., Biochem., 23, 1767-1774 ~19~4); Ginsberg et al., WO 97/26250 PCTrUS97/00572 J. Bivl. Ch~m., 260(7), 3931-3936 (1985); and Haverstick et al., Bloocl, ~6(4), 946-952 (1985). Other inhibitor~ are disclosed in Eur. Pat. App.
Nos. 275,74g and 298,820.
A number of low molecular weight polypeptide factors 5 have been i,solated from ~nake venom. These ~actors apparently have high affinity for ~e gp ~Ib/~IIa complex. For example, Huang et al., J.
B~ol C~em., 262, 16157-16163 (1987); Huang et al., Bic~che~7list)y, 28, 661-1566 (1989) describe the primary structure of the venom trigramin which is a 72 amino acid polypeptide that contains the RGD subunit.
10 Echixtatin is another compound which has high affinity for the gp IIb/Il[Ia complex. This polypeptide contains 49 amino acids and has the RGI~l subunit and various disulfide bridges. Gan et al., J. Biol. Chem., 263, 19827-19g32 (1988). See also, Dennis ~t al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci.
USA. 87, 2471-2475 (1989). However, the,~ie snake venom factor.~ also 15 have high affinity for other members of the adhesive protein receptor famihy including the vitronectin and fibronectin receptors so are not selective for the gp IIb/IIIa complex.
While it is known that the tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp i,s present in certain polypeptides that can duplicate or inhibi~ the cell 20 attachment-promoting effect~ of fibronectin and vitronectin, the tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp has low activity. At present, there is Iittle understanding of how other amino acid~ coupled to this .~equence influence binding specificity. U.S. Pat. No 5,023,233, assigned to Merck & Co., Inc., discloses small cyclic hexapeptides which contain the 25 sequence Arg-Gly-Asp and are useful platelet aggregation inhibitors.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,037,808 discloses the use of indolyl platelet-aggregation inhibitorx which are believed to act by antagonizing interactions between ~ibrinogen and/or extracellular matrix proteins and the platelet gp IIb/llIa receptor. U.S. Pat. No. 5,037,~08 disclol~;es guanidino peptide 30 mimetic compounds that retain an Asp residue which inhibit platelet aggregation. The application PCT/US90/02746 describes the use of antibody-poly-peptide conjugates wherein said polypeptides contain the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence.

W O 97/26250 PCT~US97/00572 The application PCT/US91/00564 discloses the use of large cyclic peptides containing RGD flanked by proline residues which are platelet aggregation inhibitors. The application PCT/US90/03788 discloses small cyclic platelet aggregation inhibitors which are synthetic 5 cyclic pentapeptides containing the tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp and a thioether linkage in the cycle. The application PCT/US90/05367 published May 2, 1991 also discloses the use of peptides and pseudopeptides such as N-amidino-piperidine-3-carboxylglycyl-L-aspartyl-L-valine that inhibit platelet aggregation and thrombus 10 formation in m~mmalian blood. The application Eur. Pat. App. No.
91103462.7 discloses linear compounds which can include internal piperazinyl or piperidinyl derivatives. Eur. Pat. App. No. 91300179.~, assigned to Merck & Co., Inc., and published on July 17, 1991 discloses linear polypeptide fibrinogen receptor antagonists. Eur. Pat. App. No.
1~ 90101404.3 discloses compounds of the Rl-A-(W)a-X-(CH2)b-(Y)c-B-Z-COOR wherein Rl is a guandidino or amidino moiety and A and B
are chosen from specific monosubstituted aryl or heterocyclic moieties.
While a multitude of compounds or peptide analogs believed to inhibit platelet aggregation by inhibiting binding to a blood 20 platelet by fibrinogen are known, the present invention provides novel fibrinogen receptor antagonists that have significant binding activity and are, therefore, useful for the reasons stated herein. A number of very serious diseases and disorders involve hyperthrombotic complications which lead to intravascular thrombi and emboli. Myocardial infarction, 2~ stroke, phlebitis and a number of other serious conditions create the need for novel and effective fibrinogen receptor antagonists.
