RENIN INHIBITING PEPTIDES WITH NONPEPTIDE LINKAGES
DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides novel compounds. More particularly, the present invention provides novel renin-inhibiting peptide analogs with nonpeptide linkages. Most particularly, the present invention provides renin-inhibitory compounds which contain modifications of the Phe8-His9 (angiotensinogen numbering) positions. The modifications involve substitution of nonproteinogenic (non α-amino acid) moieties for the usual α-amino acid residues. Specifically, aryl acid derived moieties are substituted for Phe8-His9. The renin inhibitors provided herein are useful for the diagnosis and control of renin-dependent hypertension and other related diseases.
Renin is an endopeptidase which specifically cleaves a particular peptide bond of its substrate (angiotensinogen), of which the N-terminal sequence in equine substrate is for example:
Renin ↓ Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-Ser- IA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
as found by L.T. Skeggs et al, J. Exper. Med. 106, 439 (1957). Human renin substrate has a different sequence as recently discovered by
D.A. Tewkesbury et al, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 99, 1311 (1981). It may be represented as follows:
Renin ↓ -Val-Ile-His-
11 12 13 IB
and having the sequence to the left of the arrow (↓) being as designated in formula IA above.
Renin cleaves angiotensinogen to produce angiotensin I, which is converted to the potent pressor angiotensin II. A number of angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitors are known to be useful in the treatment of hypertension. Inhibitors of renin are also useful in the treatment of hypertension.

As is apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, the renin inhibitory peptides of the present invention can occur in several isomeric forms, depending on the configuration around the asymmetric carbon atoms. All such isomeric forms are included within the scope of the present invention. Preferably, the stereochemistry of the other amino acids corresponds to that of the naturally-occurring amino acids.
Renin inhibitory peptides commonly have protecting groups at the
N-terminus and the C-terminus. These protecting groups are known in the polypeptide art. Examples of these protecting groups are given below. Any of these protecting groups are suitable for the renin inhibitory peptides of the present invention.
Furthermore, the non α-amino acid moieties of the formula XL2b of the present invention may occur at the N-terminus of the renin inhibitory peptide and, as such, will, when coupled with a suitable protecting group, assume the ending position.
These compounds are shown in relation to the human renin substrate as follows:
6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 -His Pro Phe His Leu Val Ile His- X A6 B7 C8 D9 E10 F11 G12 H13 I14 Z,

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include: acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, citrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate, palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, thiocyanate, tosylate , and undecanoate .
The carbon atom content of various hydrocarbon-containing moieties is indicated by a prefix designating the minimum and maximum number of carbon atoms in the moiety, i.e., the prefix (Ci-Cj) indicates a moiety of the integer "i" to the integer "j" carbon atoms, inclusive. Thus (C1-C4)alkyl refers to alkyl of one to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, or methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, and isomeric forms thereof. C4-C7cyclic amino indicates a monocyclic group containing one nitrogen and 4 to 7 carbon atoms.
Examples of (C3-C10)cycloalkyl which include alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl containing a total of up to 10 total carbon atoms, are cyclopropyl, 2-methylcyclopropyl, 2,2-dimethylcyclopropyl, 2,3-diethylcyclopropyl, 2-butylcyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, 2-methylcyclobutyl, 3- propylcyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, 2,2-dimethylcyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclononyl, cyclodecyl and isomeric forms thereof.
Examples of aryl include phenyl, naphthyl, (o- , m-, p-)tolyl, (o-, m-, p-)ethyIphenyl, 2-ethyl-tolyl, 4-ethyl-o-tolyl, 5-ethyl-m-tolyl, (o-, m-, or p-)propyIphenyl, 2-propyl- (o-, m-, or p-)tolyl, 4-isopropyl-2,6-xylyl, 3-propyl-4-ethyIphenyl, (2,3,4- 2,3,6-, or 2,4,5-)- trimethyIphenyl, (o-, m-, or p-) fluorophenyl, (o-, m-, or p-trifluoromethyl)phenyl, 4-fluoro-2,5-xylyl, (2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, or 3,5-)difluorophenyl, (o-, m-, or p-)chlorophenyl, 2-chloro-p-tolyl, (3-, 4-, 5- or 6-)chloro-o-tolyl, 4-chloro-2-propylphenyl, 2-isopropyl-4-chlorophenyl, 4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl, (3- or 4-)chloro-2-fluorophenyl, (o-, m-, or p-)trifluoro-methyIphenyl, (o-, m- , or p-)ethoxyphenyl, (4- or 5-)chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl, and 2 ,4-dichloro(5- or 6-)methyIphenyl, and the like.
Examples of -Het include: 2-, 3-, or 4-pyridyl, imidazolyl,
indolyl, Nin-formyl-indolyl. Nin-C1-C5alkyl-C(O) -indolyl, [1,2,4]- triazolyl, 2-, 4-, or 5-pyrimidinyl, 2- or 3-thienyl, piperidinyl, pyrryl, pyrrolinyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrazolyl, pyrazolinyl, pyrazolidinyl, imidazolinyl, imidazolidinyl, pyrazinyl, piperazinyl, pyridazinyl, oxazolyl, oxazolidlnyl, isoxazclyl, isoxazolidinyl, morpholinyl, thiazolyl, thiazolidinyl, isothiazolyl, isothiazolidinyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoxazolyl, furyl, thienyl, and benzothienyl. Each of these moieties may be substituted as noted above. As would be generally recognized by those skilled in the art of organic chemistry, a heterocycle as defined herein for -Het would not be bonded through oxygen or sulfur or through nitrogen which is within a ring and part of a double bond.
Halo is halogen (fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo) or trifluoromethyl.
Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable cations include: pharmacologically acceptable metal cations, ammonium, amine cations, or quaternary ammonium cations. Especially preferred metal cations are those derived from the alkali metals, e.g., lithium, sodium, and potassium, and from the alkaline earth metals, e.g., magnesium and calcium, although cationic forms of other metals, e.g., aluminum, zinc, and iron are also within the scope of this invention. Pharmacologically acceptable amine cations are those derived from primary, secondary, or tertiary amines. The novel peptides herein contain both natural and synthetic amino acid residues. These residues are depicted using standard amino acid abbreviations (see, e.g., Eur. J. Biochem., 138, 9 (1984)) unless otherwise indicated.
In addition to the treatment of warm-blooded animals such as mice, rats, horses, dogs, cats, etc., the compounds of the invention are effective in the treatment of humans.
The renin inhibitors of this invention are useful for treating any medical condition for which it is beneficial to reduce the levels of active circulating renin. Examples of such conditions include reninassociated hypertension and hyperaldosteronism, hypertension, hypertension under treatment with another antihypertensive and/or a diuretic agent, congestive heart failure, angina, and post-myocardial infarction. The renin-angiotension system may play a role in maintenance of
intracellular homeostasis: see Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 86 , 1739 - 1742 (1984) at page 1740 under Discussion . The compounds will also be useful as molecular probes for the diagnosis and study of the physiology of blood pressure regulation or other physiological functions.
Inhibitors containing these "non-natural" residues are potent inhibitors of human plasma renin. The novel non-peptidic nature of these inhibitors is expected to alter their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. The new residues make the inhibitor unrecognizable to proteinases, such as chymotrypsin, elastase, or aminopeptidase, which normally would rapidly degrade a substrate-based peptidic inhibitor. These compounds represent a significant step toward non-substrate based renin inhibitors.
Further, the renin inhibitors of this invention may be useful in the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders and disorders of intracellular homeotasis. The possible role of the renin-angiotensin system in the maintenance of intracellular homeostasis is disclosed in Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 86:1739-1742.(1984). Additionally, the renin inhibitors of this invention potentiate the antithrombotic activity of a thromboxane antagonist (U.S. patent 4,558,037). The antihypertensive effect of the renin inhibitors of this invention are potentiated by combination with a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor.
The compounds of the present invention are preferably orally administered to humans to effect renin inhibition for the purpose of favorably affecting blood pressure. For this purpose, the compounds are administered from 0.1 mg to 1000 mg per kg per dose, administered from 1 to 4 times daily. The compounds of the present invention are preferably orally administered in the form of pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts. Preferred pharmacologically acceptable salts for oral administration include the citrate and aspartate salts, although any pharmacologically acceptable salt is useful in this invention, including those listed above. These salts may be in hydrated or solvated form.
Other routes of administration include parenteral, by inhalation spray, transdermally or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection or
infusion techniques.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable preparation, for example as a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed Including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectibles. Equivalent dosages for such other routes of administration are thus employed. The exact dose depends on the age, weight, and condition of the patient and on the frequency and route of administration. Such variations are within the skill of the practitioner or can readily be determined. The compounds of the present invention may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts both those which can be produced from the free bases by methods well known in the art and those with which acids have pharmacologically acceptable conjugate bases.
Conventional forms and means for administering renin-inhibiting compounds may be employed and are described, e.g., in U.S. Patent No. 4,424,207 which is incorporated by reference herein. Likewise, the amounts disclosed in the U.S. Patent No. 4,424,207 are examples applicable to the compounds of the present invention.
The renin-inhibiting compounds of this invention may be administered in combination with other agents used in antihypertensive therapy such as diuretics, α and/or β-adrenergIc blocking agents, CNS-acting agents, adrenergic neuron blocking agents, vasodilators, angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitors, and the like as described, for example, in published European patent application 156 318.

Generally, the renin inhibiting polypeptides may be prepared by solution phase peptide synthetic procedures analogous to those described hereinafter or to those methods known in the art. For example, the carboxylic moiety of Nα-t-butyloxycarbony-1 (Boc)-substituted amino acid derivatives having suitable side chain protecting groups, if necessary, may be condensed with the amino functionality of a suitably protected amino acid or peptide using a conventional coupling protocol such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) or diethylphosphoryl cyanide (DEPC) and triethylamine (Et3N) in methylene chloride or dimethylformamide. The synthetic procedures used to incorporate the novel moieties herein are analgous to those described, for example, in U.S. patents 4,424,207; 4,470,971; 4,477,440; 4,477,441; 4,478,826; 4,478,827; 4,479,941; and 4,485,099, and copending application Serial No. 753,198, filed 9 July 1985, and copending application Serial No. 825,250, filed 3 February 1986, all of which are expressly incorporated by reference herein. See, also, published European patent applications 45,161; 45,665; 53,017; 77,028; 77,029; 81,783; 104,041; 111,266; 114,993; and 118,223. Following coupling reaction completion, the Nα-Boc moiety may be selectively removed with 45% trifluoroacetic acid with or without 2% anisole (v/v) in methylene chloride. Neutralization of the resultant trifluoroacetate salt may be accomplished with 10% diisopropylethylamine or sodium bicarbonate in methylene chloride. The incorporation of Nin-formyl-Trp into compounds of the present invention is easily accomplished because of the commercial availability of Nα-Boc-Nin-formyl-Trp-OH. However, the Nin-formyl moiety may be introduced into indolyl-substituted amino acid derivatives or related compounds by reaction with HCl-formic acid as reported in the literature, see A. Previero et al, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 147, 453 (1967); Y.C.S. Yang et al, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 15, 130 (1980).
