Definitions
- Growth hormone which is secreted from the pituitary, stimulates growth of all tissues of the body that are capable of growing.
- growth hormone is known to have the following basic effects on the metabolic process of the body:
- a deficiency in growth hormone secretion can result in various medical disorders, such as dwarfism.
- growth hormone Various ways are known to release growth hormone. For example, chemicals such as arginine, L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), glucagon, vasopressin, and insulin induced hypoglycemia, as well as activities such as sleep and exercise, indirectly cause growth hormone to be released from the pituitary by acting in some fashion on the hypothalamus perhaps either to decrease somatostatin secretion or to increase the secretion of the known secretagogue growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) or an unknown endogenous growth hormone- releasing hormone or all of these.
- L-DOPA L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine
- GRF growth hormone releasing factor
- the problem was generally solved by providing exogenous growth hormone or by administering an agent which stimulated growth hormone production and/or release.
- an agent which stimulated growth hormone production and/or release In either case the peptidyl nature of the compound necessitated that it be administered by injection.
- the source of growth hormone was the extraction of the pituitary glands of cadavers. This resulted in a very expensive product and carried with it the risk that a disease associated with the source of the pituitary gland could be transmitted to the recipient of the growth hormone.
- Recently, recombinant growth hormone has become available which, while no longer carrying any risk of disease transmission, is still a very expensive product which must be given by injection or by a nasal spray.
- the instant invention covers certain substituted dipeptide analogs which have the ability to stimulate the release of natural or endogenous growth hormone.
- the compounds thus have the ability to be used to treat conditions which require the stimulation of growth hormone production or secretion such as in humans with a deficiency of natural growth hormone or in animals used for food production where the stimulation of growth hormone will result in a larger, more produc ⁇ tive animal.
- a still further object of this invention is to describe compositions containing the substituted dipeptide analogs for the use of treating humans and animals so as to increase the level of growth hormone secretions. Further objects will become apparent from a reading of the following description. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

- Step A N-(t-Butoxycarbonyl)-D-tryptophan benzyl ester
- Finely divided t-butoxycarbonyl-D-tryptophan (3 g, 10 mmol) was suspended in methylene chloride and benzyl alcohol (1.08 mL, 10 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.12 g, 1 mmol) were added and stined at room temperature.
- Solid l-(3-dimethylamino- propyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (1.92 g, 10 mmol) was then added in three roughly equal portions over 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was stined for 3 hours at room temperature during which time the reaction mixture became a homogeneous solution.
- the reaction mixture was poured into water (100 mL) and extracted with methylene chloride (2 x 50 mL). The combined methylene chloride layers were washed with 5% aqueous citric acid solution (100 mL) and 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (100 mL). The resulting methylene chloride layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under vaccum to give an off-white solid. This solid material was chromatographed on silica gel using ethyl acetate/hexanes (2:3 v/v) as eluant. This afforded 3.56 g (91%) of the desired benzyl ester as a white amorphous powder.
- Step B D-Tryptophan benzyl ester
- N-(t-Butoxycarbonyl)-D-tryptophan benzyl ester (3.5 g, 8.87 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (10 mL) and stined at room temperature and trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL) was added dropwise to the ester. The reaction mixture was stined at room temperature for one hour during which time the reaction darkened. The reaction mixture was directly evaporated under vacuum to give a white solid. This solid was dissolved in chloroform (100 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform (2 x 25 mL) and the combined chloroform layers were dried over potassium carbonate.
- Step C (R)- ⁇ -[(2-t-Butoxycarbonylamino-2-methyl-l-oxopropyl)- aminol-lH-indole-3-propanoic acid, benzyl ester
- the chloroform layer was separated and washed with 5% aqueous citric acid solution (25 mL) and 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (25 mL).
- the chloroform layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under vacuum to afford a thick oily foam. Chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate/hexanes (2:3 v/v) afforded a yellow foam (0.822 g 50%).
- Step D (R)- ⁇ -[(2-t-Butoxycarbonylamino-2-methyl- 1 -oxopropyl)- aminol-lH-indole-3-propanoic acid
- the benzyl ester (0.82 g, 1.71 mmol) obtained in Step C and 10% palladium on carbon (150 mg) were stined together in ethyl acetate (5 mL).
- the solution was degassed and a hydrogen atmosphere introduced over the reactants using a balloon for 32 hours.
- the reaction products were isolated by filtering the reaction mixture through a Celite plug. The plug was washed with additional ethyl acetate (3 x 10 mL). The combined filtrates were evaporated under vacuum to afford the product (680 mg, 102%).
- Step E 4-Methyl-2'-nitro- 1.1 '-biphenyl
- Step F 4-Bromomethy l-2'-nitro- 1.1 '-biphenyl

- reaction mixture was stined togerther for 3.5 hours then the reaction was quenched by adding saturated aqueous sodium chloride (10 mL) and extracted with methylene chloride (3 x 20 mL). The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under vacuum. The resulting thick gum was chromatographed on silica gel using ethyl acetate/hexanes (1 :2 v/v) to give 297 mg (50%) of an orange semi-solid.
- Step J (R)- ⁇ -[(2-t-Butoxycarbonylamino-2-methyl-l -oxopropyl)- amino] -N-[ [(2'-amino) [1,1 '-biphenyl] -4-y ljmethy 1] - 1 H- indole-3 -propanamide
- the amide (142 mg, 0.24 mmol) from Step I was dissolved in ethanol (5 mL) and 10% palladium on carbon (15 mg) was added.
- the ethanolic mixture was degassed and a hydrogen atmosphere introduced and maintained above the reaction mixture for 2.5 hours using a balloon.
- the hydrogenation catalyst was removed by filtration through a Celite pad. The pad was washed carefully with methylene chloride (4 x 5 mL). The combined filtrates were evaporated under vacuum to give a powdery white foam (124 mg, 92%).
- Step K (R)- ⁇ -[(2-t-Butoxycarbonylamino-2-methyl-l -oxopropyl)- amino]-N-[[2'-[[(methylamino)-carbonyl]amino][l ,1 '- biphenyl]-4-yl]methyll-lH-indole-3-propanamide
- Step L (R)- ⁇ -[(2-Amino-2-methyl-l-oxopropyl)amino]-N-[[2'-
- Step K The intermediate obtained in Step K (15 mg, 0.023 mmol) and anisole (0.01 mL, 0.09 mmol) were dissolved in methanol (0.5 mL) and hexanes (0.5 mL). To this solution 0.5 mL of 9 N aqueous hydro ⁇ chloric acid was added. The reactants were stined at room temperature for 30 minutes then the hexane layer was removed using a pipette. The aqueous methanolic layer was evaporated at atmospheric pressure using a fast stream of nitrogen at room temperature.
