Definitions

  • This invention relates to compounds which inhibit ⁇ -amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis, and, accordingly, have utility in treating Alzheimer's disease.
  • AD Alzheimer's Disease
  • AD is a degenerative brain disorder characterized clinically by progressive loss of memory, cognition, reasoning, judgment and emotional stability that gradually leads to profound mental deterioration and ultimately death.
  • AD is a very common cause of progressive mental failure (dementia) in aged humans and is believed to represent the fourth most common medical cause of death in the United States.
  • AD has been observed in races and ethnic groups worldwide and presents a major present and future public health problem. The disease is currently estimated to affect about two to three million individuals in the United States alone. AD is at present incurable. No treatment that effectively prevents AD or reverses its symptoms and course is currently known.
  • the brains of individuals with AD exhibit characteristic lesions termed senile (or amyloid) plaques, amyloid angiopathy (amyloid deposits in blood vessels) and neurofibrillary tangles.
  • senile or amyloid
  • amyloid angiopathy amyloid deposits in blood vessels
  • neurofibrillary tangles Large numbers of these lesions, particularly amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, are generally found in several areas of the human brain important for memory and cognitive function in patients with AD. Smaller numbers of these lesions in a more restrictive anatomical distribution are also found in the brains of most aged humans who do not have clinical AD.
  • Amyloid plaques and amyloid angiopathy also characterize the brains of individuals with Trisomy 21 (Down's Syndrome) and Hereditary Cerebral
  • HCVWA-D Hemorrhage with Amyloidosis of the Dutch Type
  • amyloid angiopathy amyloid angiopathy characteristic of AD and the other disorders mentioned above is an approximately 4.2 kilodalton (kD) protein of about 39-43 amino acids designated the ⁇ -amyloid peptide (AP) or sometimes A , A P or /A4.
  • AP ⁇ -amyloid peptide
  • B-Amyloid peptide was first purified and a partial amino acid sequence was provided by Glenner, et al. The isolation procedure and the sequence data for the first 28 amino acids are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,666,829' .
  • ⁇ - amyloid peptide is a small fragment of a much larger precursor protein termed the amyloid precursor protein (APP), that is normally produced by cells in many tissues of various animals, including humans.
  • APP amyloid precursor protein
  • Knowledge of the structure of the gene encoding APP has demonstrated that ⁇ -amyloid peptide arises as a peptide fragment that is cleaved from APP by protease enzyme(s).
  • protease enzyme(s) The precise biochemical mechanism by which the ⁇ -amyloid peptide fragment is cleaved from APP and subsequently deposited as amyloid plaques in the cerebral tissue and in the walls of the cerebral and meningeal blood vessels is currently unknown.
  • AD (familial) form of AD (Goate, et al. ; Chartier Harlan, et al. ; and Murrell, et al. ) and is referred to as the Swedish variant.
  • APP in genetically based cases of AD prove that alteration of APP and subsequent deposition of its ⁇ -amyloid peptide fragment can cause AD.
  • the treatment methods would advantageously be based on drugs that are capable of inhibiting ⁇ -amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis in vivo.
  • This invention is directed to the discovery of a class of compounds which inhibit ⁇ -amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis and, therefore, are useful in the prevention of AD in patients susceptible to AD and/or in the treatment of patients with AD in order to inhibit further deterioration in their condition.

State of the Art
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disorder characterized clinically by progressive loss of memory, cognition, reasoning, judgment and emotional stability that gradually leads to profound mental deterioration and ultimately death. AD is a very common cause of progressive mental failure (dementia) in aged humans and is believed to represent the fourth most common medical cause of death in the United States. AD has been observed in races and ethnic groups worldwide and presents a major present and future public health problem. The disease is currently estimated to affect about two to three million individuals in the United States alone. AD is at present incurable. No treatment that effectively prevents AD or reverses its symptoms and course is currently known.
The brains of individuals with AD exhibit characteristic lesions termed senile (or amyloid) plaques, amyloid angiopathy (amyloid deposits in blood vessels) and neurofibrillary tangles. Large numbers of these lesions, particularly amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, are generally found in several areas of the human brain important for memory and cognitive function in patients with AD. Smaller numbers of these lesions in a more restrictive anatomical distribution are also found in the brains of most aged humans who do not have clinical AD. Amyloid plaques and amyloid angiopathy also characterize the brains of individuals with Trisomy 21 (Down's Syndrome) and Hereditary Cerebral
Hemorrhage with Amyloidosis of the Dutch Type (HCHWA-D). At present, a definitive diagnosis of AD usually requires observing the aforementioned lesions in the brain tissue of patients who have died with the disease or, rarely, in small biopsied samples of brain tissue taken during an invasive neurosurgical procedure .
The principal chemical constituent of the amyloid plaques and vascular amyloid deposits (amyloid angiopathy) characteristic of AD and the other disorders mentioned above is an approximately 4.2 kilodalton (kD) protein of about 39-43 amino acids designated the β-amyloid peptide (AP) or sometimes A , A P or /A4. B-Amyloid peptide was first purified and a partial amino acid sequence was provided by Glenner, et al. The isolation procedure and the sequence data for the first 28 amino acids are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,666,829' . Molecular biological and protein chemical analyses have shown that the β- amyloid peptide is a small fragment of a much larger precursor protein termed the amyloid precursor protein (APP), that is normally produced by cells in many tissues of various animals, including humans. Knowledge of the structure of the gene encoding APP has demonstrated that β-amyloid peptide arises as a peptide fragment that is cleaved from APP by protease enzyme(s). The precise biochemical mechanism by which the β-amyloid peptide fragment is cleaved from APP and subsequently deposited as amyloid plaques in the cerebral tissue and in the walls of the cerebral and meningeal blood vessels is currently unknown.
Several lines of evidence indicate that progressive cerebral deposition of β- amyloid peptide plays a seminal role in the pathogenesis of AD and can precede
3 cognitive symptoms by years or decades. See, for example, Selkoe . The most important line of evidence is the discovery that missense DNA mutations at amino acid 717 of the 770-amino acid isoform of APP can be found in affected members but not unaffected members of several families with a genetically determined
4 5
(familial) form of AD (Goate, et al. ; Chartier Harlan, et al. ; and Murrell, et al. ) and is referred to as the Swedish variant. A double mutation changing
, • 595 - - 596 . 595 , . 596 , . . . . ,. _ lysme -methionine to asparagine -leucine (with reference to the 695
7 isoform) found in a Swedish family was reported in 1992 (Mullan, et al. ).
Genetic linkage analyses have demonstrated that these mutations, as well as certain other mutations in the APP gene, are the specific molecular cause of AD in the affected members of such families. In addition, a mutation at amino acid 693 of the 770-amino acid isoform of APP has been identified as the cause of the β- amyloid peptide deposition disease, HCHWA-D, and a change from alanine to glycine at amino acid 692 appears to cause a phenotype that resembles AD is some patients but HCHWA-D in others. The discovery of these and other mutations in
APP in genetically based cases of AD prove that alteration of APP and subsequent deposition of its β-amyloid peptide fragment can cause AD. Despite the progress which has been made in understanding the underlying mechanisms of AD and other β-amyloid peptide related diseases, there remains a need to develop methods and compositions for treatment of the disease(s). Ideally, the treatment methods would advantageously be based on drugs that are capable of inhibiting β-amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis in vivo.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to the discovery of a class of compounds which inhibit β-amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis and, therefore, are useful in the prevention of AD in patients susceptible to AD and/or in the treatment of patients with AD in order to inhibit further deterioration in their condition.

Compound Preparation
Amidation Chemistry
Compounds including amide linkages can be readily prepared by conventional amidation of a carboxyl acid as shown in reaction (1) below where, for the sake of illustration, n is one:
(Reaction 1)
1 2 wherein R , R , W, X, and Z are as defined above. The reaction is conventionally conducted by using at least a stoichiometric amount of carboxylic acid I and amine 2. This reaction is conventionally conducted for peptide synthesis and synthetic methods used therein can also be employed to prepare compound 3 which is a compound of formula I above. For example, well known coupling reagents such as carbodiimides with or without the use of well known additives such as N-hydroxysuccinimide, 1 -hydroxy benzotriazole, etc. can be used to facilitate coupling. The reaction is conventionally conducted in an inert aprotic polar diluent such as dimethylformamide. dichloromethane, chloroform, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran and the like. Alternatively, the acid halide of compound I can be employed in reaction (1) and, when so employed, it is typically employed in the presence of a suitable base to scavenge the acid generated during the reaction. Suitable bases include, by way of example. triethylamine. diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine and the like.
Various compounds as described herein can be prepared by N-substimtion reactions of compound 2. Reaction of compound 2 with an carboxylic acid derivative can also lead to various compounds as described herein. Both reactions are described below.
Synthesis of Carboxylic Acid Starting Materials Carboxylic acids I can be prepared by several divergent synthetic routes with the particular route selected relative to the ease of compound preparation, commercial availability of starting materials, whether n ::- one or two.
A. Synthesis of Carboxylic Acids When n is one, a first synthetic method involves the introduction of the R
2 group to the amino acid NH2CH(R )COOH or ester thereof.
1 2
The introduction of the R group onto the amino acid NH2CH(R )COOH or ester thereof can be accomplished in several methods. For example, conventional coupling of a halo acetic acid with a primary amine forms an amino acid as shown in reaction (2) below:
1 2 wherein R and R are as defined above and Z is a halo group such as chloro or bromo. Alternatively, leaving groups other than halo may be employed such as triflate and the like. Additionally, suitable esters of 4 may be employed in this reaction.
As above, reaction (2) involves coupling of a suitable haloacetic acid derivative 4 with a primary amine 5 under conditions that provide for amino acid
14 6. This reaction is described by, for example, Yates. et al. and proceeds by combining approximately stoichiometric equivalents of haloacetic acid 4 with primary amine 5 in a suitable inert diluent such as water, dimethylsulfoxide
(DMSO) and the like. The reaction employs an excess of a suitable base such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, etc. to scavenge the acid generated by the reaction. The reaction is preferably conducted at from about 25 °C to about 100°C until reaction completion which typically occurs within 1 to about 24 hours. This reaction is further described in U.S. Patent No. 3,598,859, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Upon reaction completion, N-substituted amino acid 6 is recovered by conventional methods including precipitation, chromatography, filtration and the like.
In reaction (2), each of the reagents (haloacetic acid 4, primary amine 5 and alcohol 6) are well known in the art with a plurality of each being commercially available.
In an alternative embodiment, the R group can be coupled to an alanine ester (or other suitable amino acid ester) by conventional N-arylation. For example, a stoichiometric equivalent or slight excess of the amino acid ester can be dissolved in a suitable diluent such as DMSO and coupled with a halo-R compound. Z -R where Z is a halo group such as chloro or bromo and R is as defined above. The reaction is conducted in the presence of an excess of base such as sodium hydroxide to scavenge the acid generated by the reaction. The reaction typically proceeds at from 15 °C to about 250°C and is complete in about 1 to 24 hours. Upon reaction completion. N-substituted amino acid ester is recovered by conventional methods including chromatography, filtration and the like. This ester is then hydrolyzed by conventional methods to provide for carboxylic acid J for use in reaction (1).
In still another alternative embodiment, the esterified amino acids described above can be prepared by reductive amination of a suitable pyruvate ester in the manner illustrated in reaction (3) below: on 3)
8
1 2 wherein R is typically an alkyl group and R and R are as defined above.
In reaction (3), approximately stoichiometric equivalents of pyruvate ester 7 and amine 5 are combined in an inert diluent such as methanol, ethanol and the like and the reaction solution treated under conditions that provide for imine formation (not shown). The imine formed is then reduced under conventional conditions by a suitable reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride, H2/palladium on carbon and the like to form the
N-substimted amino acid ester 8. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the reducing agent is H2/palladium on carbon which is incorporated into the initial reaction medium which permits imine reduction in situ in a one pot procedure to provide for the N-substimted amino acid ester 5-
The reaction is preferably conducted at from about 20 °C to about 80 °C at a pressure of from 1 to 10 atmospheres until the reaction is complete, which typically occurs within 1 to about 24 hours. Upon reaction completion. N- substituted amino acid ester 8 is recovered by conventional methods including chromatography, filtration and the like.
Subsequent hydrolysis of the ester 8 leads to the corresponding carboxylic acid derivative 1 which can be employed in reaction (1) above.
For compounds where n is two, conventional coupling of a second amino
2 acid (e.g. , NH2CH(R )C(O)OR where R is typically an alkyl group) to the amino
1 2 acid produced above (i.e., R NHCH(R )COOH) provides for esters of an analogue of carboxylic acid 1 which are then conventionally de-esterified to provide for an analogue of compound 1. Alternatively, an ester such as H2NCH(R2)C(O)NHCH(R~)COOR where
2 each R is independently as defined above and R is typically an alkyl group can first be formed by conventional peptide synthetic procedures, N-substimtion can be conducted in the manner described above followed by de-esterification to provide for analogues of carboxylic acids 1 where n is two.
When n is one, a first synthetic method involves conventional coupling of an carboxylic acid derivative with a primary amine of an esterified amino acid as shown in reaction (4) below:
(Reaction 4)
11
1 2 wherein R is typically an alkyl group and R , R , X' and X" are as defined above.
Reaction (4) merely involves coupling of a suitable carboxylic acid derivative 9 with the primary amine of amino acid ester JO under conditions that provide for the N-acetyl derivative 11. Alternatively, the carboxylic acid
R'COOH can be used in place of compound 9 to provide intermediates useful for preparing compounds of Formula VI above. This reaction is conventionally conducted for peptide synthesis and synthetic methods used therein can also be employed to prepare the N-acetyl amino acid esters U of this invention. For example, well known coupling reagents such as carbodiimides with or without the use of well known additives such as N-hydroxysuccinimide, 1- hydroxybenzotriazole, etc. can be used to facilitate coupling. The reaction is conventionally conducted in an inert aprotic polar diluent such as dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, chloroform, acetonitrile, or tetrahydrofuran. Alternatively, the acid halide of compound 9 can be employed in reaction (4) and, when so employed, it is typically employed in the presence of a suitable base to scavenge the acid generated during the reaction. Suitable bases include, by way of example, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, and N- methy lmorpholine .
Reaction (4) is preferably conducted at from about 0°C to about 60 °C until the reaction is complete, which typically occurs within 1 to about 24 hours. Upon reaction completion, N-acetyl amino acid ester U is recovered by conventional methods including precipitation, chromatography, and filtration or alternatively is hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid without purification and/or isolation other than conventional work-up (e.g.. aqueous extraction, etc.).
In reaction (4), each of the reagents (carboxylic acid derivative 9 and amino acid ester 10) are well known in the art with a plurality of each being commercially available.
When n is two, a further amino acid ester is coupled to the amino acid ester 11 by first de-esterifying U and then using well known peptide coupling chemistry with well known coupling reagents such as carbodiimides with or without the use of well known additives such as N-hydroxysuccinimide and 1- hydroxybenzotriazole,. which can be used to facilitate coupling. The reaction is conventionally conducted in an inert aprotic polar diluent such as dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, chloroform, acetonitrile, or tetrahydrofuran. De-esterification of the resulting ester provides for carboxylic acids I having n equal to 2.
Alternatively, carboxylic acids 1 having n equal to 2 can be prepared by first forming the ester, N-acetylating these esters and then de-esterifying the resulting product.
Carboxylic acids I having n equal to 1 or 2 can also be prepared by using polymer-supported forms of carbodiimide peptide coupling reagents. A polymer- supported form of EDC, for example, has been described (Tetrahedron Letters, 34(48), 7685 (1993)) . Additionally, a new carbodiimide coupling reagent,
PEPC, and its corresponding polymer-supported forms have been discovered and are very useful for preparing such compounds. Polymers suitable for use in making a polymer-supported coupling reagent are either commercially available or may be prepared by methods well known to those of skill in the polymer arts. A suitable polymer must possess pendant sidechains bearing moieties reactive with the terminal amine of the carbodiimide. Such reactive moieties include chloro, bromo, iodo and methanesulfonyl. Preferably, the reactive moiety is a chloromethyl group. Additionally, the polymer backbone must be inert to both the carbodiimide and reaction conditions under which the ultimate polymer-bound coupling reagents will be used.
Certain hydroxymethylated resins may be converted into chloromethylated resins useful for the preparation of polymer-supported coupling reagents. Examples of these hydroxylated resins include the 4- hydroxymethylphenylacetamidomethyl resin (Pam Resin) and 4-benzyloxybenzyl alcohol resin (Wang Resin) available from Advanced Chemtech of Louisville, Kentucky, USA (see Advanced Chemtech 1993-1994 catalog, page 115). The hydroxymethyl groups of these resins may be converted into the desired chloromethyl groups by any of a number of methods well known to the skilled artisan.
Preferred resins are the chloromethylated styrene/divinylbenzene resins because of their ready commercial availability. As the name suggests, these resins are already chloromethylated and require no chemical modification prior to use. These resins are commercially known as Merrifield's resins and are available from Aldrich Chemical Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. USA (see Aldrich 1994- 1995 catalog, page 899). Methods for the preparation of PEPC and its polymer- supported forms are outlined in the following scheme.

Such methods are described more fully in PCT Application PCT/US97/22986, which application is incoφorated herein by reference in its entirety. Briefly, PEPC is prepared by first reacting ethyl isocyanate with l-(3- aminopropyl)pyrrolidine. The resulting urea is treated with 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride to provide PEPC. The polymer-supported form is prepared by reaction of PEPC with an appropriate resin under standard conditions to give the desired reagent.
The carboxylic acid coupling reactions employing these reagents are performed at about ambient temperature to about 45 °C, for from about 3 to 120 hours. Typically, the product is isolated by washing the reaction mixture with CHCI3 and concentrating the remaining organics under reduced pressure. As discussed supra, isolation of products from reactions where a polymer bound reagent has been used is greatly simplified, requiring only filtration of the reaction mixture and then concentration of the filtrate under reduced pressure.
Sulfonamidation Chemistry
Sulfonamides. such as those in Formula III, can be readily prepared using known sulfonamidation reactions. These typically involve the reaction of sulfonyl chlorides with primary or secondary amines in the presence of a tertiary amine or other suitable acid scavenger (See, for Example, page 923. Morrison and Boyd, Organic Chemistry, fourth edition).
Synthesis of Sulfonic Acid Starting Materials Suitable sulfonic acids can be prepared by several divergent synthetic routes with the particular route selected relative to the ease of compound preparation, and commercial availability of starting materials.
A. Synthesis of Sulfonic Acids Alkyl sulfonic acids can be prepared using means well known to those of skill in the art, as described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,493,038 and 2,697,722, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. One method for preparing alkyl sulfonic acids is by the oxidation of disulfides, which can themselves be prepared by the oxidation of thiols. Aromatic sulfonic acids can be produced by the sulfonating action of sulfuric acid, SO,, oleum or alkyl sulfonic acids on aromatic compounds using techniques well known to those of skill in the art.
Activation of Sulfonic Acids
Suitable sulfonic acid derivatives can be prepared, for example, by reacting a sulfonic acid with a chlorinating reagent such as phosphorous pentachloride or sulfonyl chloride.
Preparation of Ureas
Ureas can be prepared by any known methodology, but preferably are prepared by reacting an amine with an isocyanate, as described on page 844 of Morrison and Boyd, Organic Chemistry, Fourth Edition, Allyn and Bacon, ed., Boston (1983). Suitable isocyanates can be prepared using methods known to those of skill in the art.
Preparation of Cyclic Amino Compounds Cyclic amino compounds 2 employed in reaction (1) above are generally aminolactams, aminolactones, aminothiolactones and aminocycloalkyl compounds which can be represented by the formula:
wherein X is as defined above, Q is preferably selected from the group consisting of -O-, -S-, > are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substimted alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclic with the proviso that if Q is -O-, -S- or > NR , then X is oxo or dihydro, and W together with Q, C = X and CH forms a lactone, thiolactone, lactam, cyclic ketone, cyclic alcohol, a heterocycle. and the like.
The aminolactams. aminolactones and aminothiolactones of the formulas above can be prepared by use or adaptation of known chemical syntheses which syntheses are well described in the literature. See, e.g. , Ogliaruso and Wolfe. Synthesis ofLactones and Lactams. Patai, et al. Editor, J. Wiley & Sons, New York, New York, USA, pp. 1085 et seq. (1993)15.
Specifically, 3-amino substimted lactams 13. with 5, 6 or 7 ring atoms may be prepared by the direct cyclization of a suitable , omega-diamino acid ester .12 as shown in reaction (5) below: 12 (Reaction 5)
11
wherein L is a linking group (typically an alkylene group) of from 2-4 atoms, Pr is a suitable protecting group such as t-butoxycarbonyl, carbobenzyloxy, or the like
9 and R is an alkoxy or aryloxy group such as methoxy, ethoxy, j-nitrophenoxy, N-succinimidoxy, and the like. The reaction may be carried out in a solvent such as water, methanol. ethanol, pyridine, and the like. Such reactions are exemplified by cyclization of a lysine ester to a caprolactam as described by Ugi, et al.. Tetrahedron, 52(35): 11657-11664 (1996) . Alternatively, such a cyclization can also be conducted in the presence of dehydrating agents such as alumina or silica to form lactams as described by Blade-Font, Tetrahedron Lett.. 21 :2443 (1980)17.
The preparation of aminolactams alkylated on the amino group of the cyclic
1 lactam is described by Freidinger, et al. , J. Org. Chem. , 47: 104-109 (1982) and illustrated in reaction (6) below:
(Reaction 6) r
wherein L and R are as defined above. In reaction (6), reductive amination of 14 with aldehyde 15 and subsequent ring closure by methods using, for example, EDC provides for aminolactam 16. The preparation of 6 membered lactams using this general procedure is described by Semple, et al. , J. Med. Chem. , 39:4531-4536 (1996)19.
The internal cyclization of an amide anion with a halide or equivalent thereof can sometimes be used to particular advantage in the synthesis of smaller ring lactams where the stereochemistry of the amino-lactam center is available from the standard amino-acid pool. This approach is illustrated in reaction (7) below:
(Reaction 7)
where R is as defined above.
19 The approach of reaction (7) is presented by Semple, et al. , supra. , and
1 o
Freidinger. et al. , J. Org. Chem. , 47: 104-109 (1982) where a dimethylsulfonium leaving group is generated from methyl iodide treatment of an alkyl methyl sulfide 17 to provide for lactam 18. A similar approach using a
Mitsunobu reaction on an omega alcohol is found Holladay, et al. , J. Org. Chem. ,
20 56:3900-3905 (1991) .
In another method, lactams 20 can be prepared from cyclic ketones 19 using either the well known Beckmann rearrangement (e.g. , Donaruma, et al., 21 Organic Reactions, 11: 1-156 (I960)) or the well known Schmidt reaction
22 (Wolff, Organic Reactions, 3:307-336 (1946)) as shown in reaction (8) below:
Sec maπ fsairaπcerπeπt
L>^ =α icrrrrrict rsacticπ ~ (Reaction 8)
12.
wherein L is as defined above.
Application of these two reactions leads to a wide variety of lactams especially lactams having two hydrogen atoms on the carbon to the lactam carbonyl which lactams form a preferred group of lactams in the synthesis of the compounds described above. In these reactions, the L group can be highly variable including, for example, alkylene, substimted alkylene and hetero containing alkylene with the proviso that a heteroatom is not adjacent to the carbonyl group of compound 19. Additionally, the Beckmann rearrangement can be applied to bicyclic ketones as described in Krow, et al. , J. Org. Chem. , 61:5574-5580 (1996)23.
The preparation of lactones can be similarly conducted using peracids in a Baeyer-Villiger reaction on ketones. Alternatively, thiolactones can be prepared by cyclization of an omega -SH group to a carboxylic acid and thiolactams can be prepared by conversion of the oxo group to the thiooxo group by P2S5 or by use of the commercially available Lawesson's Reagent, Tetrahedron, 35:2433 (1979)24. One recently reported route for lactam synthesis is a variation of the Schmidt reaction through the use of an alkyl azide, either intermolecularly or intramoiecularly, through a tethered alkylazide function that attacks a ketone under
25 acidic conditions. Gracias. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc . 117:8047-8048 (1995) describes the intermolecular version whereas Milligan, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc , 117: 10449-10459 (1995) describes the intramolecular version. One example of the intramolecular version is illustrated in reaction (9) below:
2d. 22 21
where R is exemplified by alkyl. substimted alkyl, alkoxy, substimted alkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl. cycloalkyl and heterocyclic.
In this reaction, ketone 21 is converted to an -(w-alkyl)ketone 22 which is cyclized to form bicyclic lactam 23. Such intramolecular reactions are useful in forming bicyclic lactams having 5-7 members and the lactam ring of 6-13 members. The use of heteroatoms at non-reactive sites in these rings is feasible in preparing heterobicyclic lactams.
Still another recent approach to the synthesis of lactams is described by
27 Miller, , eett aall.. ,, JJ.. AAmm.. CChheemm.. SSoocc.. , 111188::99606-9614 (1996) and references cited and is illustrated in reaction (10) below:
where R and Pr are as defined above and R is exemplified by halo, alkyl. substimted alkyl, alkoxy, substimted alkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl and heterocyclic wherein the aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl and heterocyclic group is optionally fused to the lactam ring structure.
Specifically, in reaction (10), lactam 26 is formed from an appropriate unsaturated amide (e.g. , 24) through a ruthenium or molybdenum complexes catalyzed olefin metathesis reaction to form unsaturated lactam 25 which can be used herein without mrther modification. However, the unsamration in 25 permits a myriad of techniques such as hydroboration, Sharpless or Jacobsen epoxidations, Sharpless dihydroxylations, Diels-Alder additions, dipolar cycloaddition reactions and many more chemistries to provide for a wide range of substiments on the lactam ring. Moreover, subsequent transformations of the formed substitution leads to other additional substiments (e.g. , mesylation of an alcohol followed by nucleophilic substitution reactions). See, for example,
28 March, et al. for a recitation of numerous such possible reactions. Saturated amides used in this reaction are conventional with amide 24 being commercially available. Related chemistry to cyclize amides to form lactams is disclosed by
29 Colom bboo,, eett aall..,, TTeettrraa,hedron Lett. , 35(23) :4031-4034 (1994) and is illustrated in reaction (11) below:
AcHN
(Reaction 11)
21
In this reaction, proline derivative 27 is cyclized via a tributyltin-radical cyclization to provide for lactam 28.
Some of the lactams described above contain the requisite amino group to the lactam carbonyl whereas others did not. However, the introduction of the required amino group can be achieved by any of several routes delineated below which merely catalogue several recent literature references for this synthesis.
For example, in a first general synthetic procedure, azide or amine displacement of a leaving group to the carbonyl group of the lactam leads to the α-aminolactams. Such general synthetic procedures are exemplified by the introduction of a halogen atom followed by displacement with phthalimide anion or azide and subsequent conversion to the amine typically by hydrogenation for the
30 azide as described in Rogriguez, et al., Tetrahedron, 52:7727-7736 (1996) ,
31 Parsons, et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., 117: 108-113 (1983) and
Watthey, et al., J. Med. Chem. , 28: 1511-1516 (1985)32. One particular method involves iodination and azide displacement on, for example, benzyllactams as
33 described by Armstrong, et al.. Tetrahedron Lett. , 35:3239 (1994) and by King, et al. , J. Org. Chem. , 58:3384 (1993)34.
Another example of this first general procedure for the synthesis of α- aminolactams from the corresponding lactam involves displacement of a triflate group by an azido group as described by Hu, et al.. Tetrahedron Lett. , 36(21):3659-3662 (1995)35.
Still another example of this first general procedure uses a Mitsunobu reaction of an alcohol and a nitrogen equivalent (either -NH2 or a phthalimido group) in the presence of an azodicarboxylate and a triarylphosphine as described in Wada, et al. , Bull. Chem. Soc Japan, 46:2833-2835 (1973) using an open chain reagent.
Yet another example of this first general procedure involves reaction of α- chlorolactams with anilines or alkyl amines in a neat mixmre at 120°C to provide for 2-(N-aryl or N-alkyl)lactams as described by Gaetzi, Chem. Abs. , 66:28690m.37
In a second general synthetic procedure, reaction of an enolate with an alkyl nitrite ester to prepare the α oxime followed by reduction yields the - aminolactam compound. This general synthetic procedure is exemplified by
38 Wheeler, et al., Organic Syntheses. Coll. Vol. VI, p. 840 which describes the reaction of isoamyl nitrite with a ketone to prepare the desired oxime. The reduction of the oxime methyl ester (prepared from the oxime by reaction with
39 methyl iodide) is described in the J. Med. Chem. , 28(12): 1886 (1985) and the reduction of -oximino caprolactams by Raney-nickel and palladium catalysts is
40 described by Brenner, et al. , U.S. Patent No. 2,938,029. In a third general synthetic procedure, direct reaction of an enolate with an electrophilic nitrogen transfer agent can be used. The original reaction employed toluenesulfonyl azide but was improved as described by Evans, et al. , J. Am.
41 Chem. Soc. , 112:4011-4030 (1990) . Specifically, direct introduction of an azido group which can be reduced to the amine by hydrogenation is described by
42 Micouin, et al. , Tetrahedron, 52:7719-7726 (1996) . Likewise, the use of triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl azide as the azide transferring agent for reaction with an enolate is described by Evans, et al. , supra. The use of triphenylphosphine to reduce the -azidolactams to the corresponding aminolactams in the benzodiazepine series is disclosed by Butcher, et al.. Tetrahedron Lett. ,
43 37(37):6685-6688 (1996). Lastly, diazo transfer of β-diketones and subsequent reduction of the diazo group to the amino group is exemplified by Hu, et al.,
35 Tetrahedron Lett. , 36(21):3659-3662 (1995) who used Raney-nickel and hydrogen in acetic acid and acetic anhydride as the solvent.
In a fourth general procedure, N-substimted lactams are first converted to the 3-alkoxycarbonyl derivatives by reaction with a dialkyl carbonate and a base such as sodium hydride. See, for example, M.L. Reupple, et al. , J. Am. Chem.
44 Soc , 93:7021 et seq. (1971) The resulting esters serve as starting materials for conversion to the 3-amino derivatives. This conversion is achieved via the Curtius reaction as shown in reaction (12) below:
12 where Pr is as defined above and R is typically hydrogen, an alkyl or an aryl group.
The Curtius reaction is described by P.A.S. Smith, Organic Reactions,
45 3:337-449 (1946). Depending on the reaction conditions chosen, Pr = H or a protecting group such as Boc. For example, when R = H, treatment of the acid with diphenylphosphoryl azide in the presence of t-butanol provides the product wherein Pr = Boc.
The α-aminolactams employed as the cyclic amino compounds 2 in reaction
(1) above include ring N-substituted lactams in addition to ring N-H lactams. Some methods for preparing ring N-substimted lactams have been described above. More generally, however, the preparation of these compounds range from the direct introduction of the substituent after lactam formation to essentially introduction before lactam formation. The former methods typically employ a base and an primary alkyl halide although it is contemplated that a secondary alkyl halide can also be employed although yields may suffer.
Accordingly, a first general method for preparing N-substituted lactams is achieved via reaction of the lactam with base and alkyl halide (or acrylates in some cases). This reaction is quite well known and bases such as sodamide, sodium hydride, LDA, LiHMDS in appropriate solvents such as THF, DMF, etc. are employed provided that the selected base is compatible with the solvent. See for
46 example: K. Orito, et al.. Tetrahedron, 36: 1017-1021 (1980) and J.E. Semple, et al. , J. Med. Chem. , 39:4531-4536 (1996)19 (use of LiHMDS with either R-X or acrylates as electrophiles).
A second general method employs reductive amination on an amino function that is then cyclized to an appropriate ester or other carbonyl function. A third general method achieves production of the N-substimtion during lactam formation. Literature citations report such production from either photolytic or thermal rearrangement of oxaziridines, particularly of N-aryl
47 compounds. See, for example, Krimm, Chem. Ber. , 91: 1057 (1958) and Suda,
48 et al. , J. Chem. Soc. Chem Comm. , 949-950, (1994). Also, the use of methyl hydroxylamine for the formation of nitrones and their rearrangement to the N- methyl derivatives is reported by Barton, et al. , J. Chem. Soc , 1764-1767
49 (1975). Additionally, the use of the oxaziridine process in chiral synthesis has been reported by Kitagawa, et al. , J. Am. Chem. Soc. , 117:5169-5178 (1975).
A more direct route to obtain N-phenyl substimted lactams from the corresponding NH lactams through the use of t-butyltetramethylguanidine and triphenylbismuth dichloride is disclosed by Akhatar, et al. , J. Org. Chem. , 55:5222-5225 (1990) as shown in reaction (13) below.
(Reaction 13)
Given that numerous methods are available to introduce an α-amino group onto a lactam (or lactone) ring, the following lactams (and appropriate corresponding lactones) are contemplated for use in the synthesis of compounds described above. Similar alcohol functions at the carbonyl position are derivative of either amine ring opening of cyclic epoxides, ring opening of aziridines, displacement of appropriate halides with amine or alcohol nucleophiles, or most likely reduction of appropriate ketones. These ketones are also of interest to the present invention.

wherein R' is as defined in the reference and R can be alkyl, substimted alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, substimted alkoxy, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, heterocyclooxy, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, and the like.
The synthesis of thialactams (generally oxalactams can be made by the same methodology) has been reported by Freidinger, et al. , J. Org. Chem. ,
18 47: 104-109 (1982) who prepared thialactams of the formula:

This reference provides a series of procedures having broad application for synthesis of lactams, permitting R in the above formula to be derived from any amine (alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, etc.) with the restriction being that the R-group does not contain any functional groups reactive with formaldehyde (e.g., primary and secondary amines). The general synthetic scheme provided by Freidlinger, et al. is:
coupling
R-NH, aσeπt
The coupling agent is any standard reagent used in the formation of typical peptide or amide bonds, for example, carbodiimide reagents. See, also,
94 Karanewsky, U.S :.. PPaatent No. 4,460,579 and Kametani, et al. , Heterocycles, 95
9:831-840 (1978).'
The Friedinger procedure can be extended to afford disubstimted thialactams of the following structure:
In practical terms, R2 will be limited to aryl and heteroaryl groups and sterically hindered alkyl groups such as t-butyl. Rj can be highly variable and is limited only by subsequent reaction steps.
Still further is the Kametani procedure which provides for lactams as follows:
In principle, the Kametani procedure allows for a wide selection of RI and R2 groups limited primarily by stability to the reaction conditions.
See, for example, Yanganasawa, et al. , J. Med. Chem. , 30: 1984-1991
96 97
(1987) and J. Das et al. , Biorg. Med. Chem. Lett. , 4:2193-2198 (1994) which describes general methods for the synthesis of isomeric 7-membered thialactams of the following structure:
The first synthetic route is:
1.- N-metπyl-
R, mcrαholine
N02 2. Reduction
1. Cyciization
2. Selective al yl;atioπ R2 can be highly variable (e.g. , alkyl, substimted alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclic and the like) since a number of well documented routes exist for the synthesis of nitroethylene derivatives from aldehydes and nitromethane (Henry reaction) followed by dehydration. Rj is limited to groups that can undergo alkylation reactions.
The second compound series can be prepared as follows:
1. Protecting group removal
2. Cyclization
3. Selective al yiation
4. Methylhydrazine Boc
In this synthesis, R2 can be highly variable. The starting component required to introduce R2 can be readily derived by the reduction of any known α- BOC-amino acid to the alcohol derivative followed by formation of the mesylate.
As noted above, the primary approaches to the preparation of lactams is the
Beckmann/ Schmidt ring expansion reaction using either inter- or intramolecular approaches serves to prepare lactams of various ring sizes. The intramolecular approach generates bicyclic materials with the lactam nitrogen incorporated into the ring fusion. Additional approaches set forth above involve the internal cyclization of omega-amino acids/esters where the construction of the substiment pattern takes place prior to cyclization, and internal cyclization of an electrophilic center onto a nucleophilic functional group as in the Friedel Crafts type cyclization used in the Ben-Ishal procedure for making benzazepinones. This latter procedure is applicable to a wide variety of heteroaromatics as well as benzenoid rings, and may also be applied to non-aromatic double or triple bonds to generate a wide array of substiments or ring fusions.
Deoxygenation of the lactam by reagents such as diborane, LiAlHφ and the like leads to azaheterocycles ( = X is dihydro).
Similarly, for X = H, OH. such compounds can be prepared by epoxidation of cycloalkenyl groups followed by oxirane opening by, e.g. , ammonia. After formation of compounds of Formulas I-VI, =X being H, OH can be oxidized to provide for cycloalkylones ( = X being oxo).
Additionally, the 5,7-dihydro-6H-dibenz[b,d]azepin-6-one derivatives employed in this invention can be prepared using conventional procedures and reagents. For example, an appropriately substimted N-tert-Boc-2-amino-2'- methy lbiphenyl compound can be cyclized to form the corresponding 5,7-dihydro- 6H-dibenz[b,d]azepin-6-one derivative by first treating the biphenyl compound with about 2.1 to about 2.5 equivalents of a strong base, such as sec-butyl lithium. This reaction is typically conducted at a temperature ranging from about -80°C to about -60 °C in an inert diluent such as THF. The resulting dianion is then treated with dry carbon dioxide at a temperature of about -78°C to afford the 5,7-dihydro- 6H-diben[b,d]azepin-6-one. This procedure is described further in R. D. Clark et al., Tetrahedron, 49(7), 1351-1356 (1993) and references cited therein. After forming the 5,7-dihydro-6H-dibenz[b,d]azepin-6-one, the amide nitrogen can be readily alkylated by first treating the dibenazepinone with about 1.1 to about 1.5 equivalents of a strong base, such as sodium hydride, in an inert diluent, such as DMF. This reaction is typically conducted at a temperamre ranging from about -10 °C to about 80° C for about 0.5 to about 6 hours. The resulting anion is then contacted with an excess, preferably about 1.1 to about 3.0 equivalents, of an alkyl halide, typically an alkyl chloride, bromide or iodide. Generally, this reaction is conducted at a temperamre of about 0°C to about 100°C for about 1 to about 48 hours.
An amino group can then be introduced at the 5-position of the 7-alkyl-5,7- dihydro-6H-diben[b,d]azepin-6-one using conventional procedures and reagents. For example, treatment of 7-methyl-5,7-dihydro-6H-diben[b,d]azepin-6-one with an excess of butyl nitrite in the presence of a strong base, such as potassium 1,1 , 1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (KHMDS), affords 5-oximo-7-methyl-5,7- dihydro-6H-diben[b,d]azepin-6-one. Subsequent reduction of the oximo group by hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst, such as palladium on carbon, then provides 5-amino-7-methyl-5,7-dihydro-6H-diben[b,d]azepin-6-one. Other conventional amination procedures, such as azide transfer followed by reduction of the azido group, may also be employed.
Similarly, various benzodiazepine derivatives suitable for use in this invention can be prepared using conventional procedures and reagents. For example, a 2-aminobenzophenone can be readily coupled to α-(isopropylthio)-N- (benzyloxycarbonyl)glycine by first forming the acid chloride of the glycine derivative with oxalyl chloride, and then coupling the acid chloride with the 2- aminobenzophenone in the presence of a base, such as 4-methylmorpholine, to afford the 2-[ -(isopropylthio)-N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)glycinyl]- aminobenzophenone. Treatment of this compound with ammonia gas in the presence of an excess, preferably about 1.1 to about 1.5 equivalents, of mercury (II) chloride then affords the 2-[N-(α-amino)-N -(benzyloxycarbonyl)- glycinyljaminobenzophenone. This intermediate can then be readily cyclized by treatment with glacial acetic acid and ammonium acetate to provide the 3- (benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-2,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-lH-l ,4-benzodiazepin-2-onel . Subsequent removal of the Cbz group affords the 3-amino-2,3-dihydro-5-phenyl- 1 H- 1 ,4-benzodiazepin-2-one .
Alternatively, 2,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-lH-l ,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones can be readily aminated at the 3 -position using conventional azide transfer reactions followed by reduction of the resulting azido group to form the corresponding amino group. The conditions for these and related reactions are described in the examples set forth below. Additionally, 2,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-lH-l ,4- benzodiazepin-2-ones are readily alkylated at the 1 -position using conventional procedures and reagents. For example, this reaction is typically conducted by first treating the benzodiazepinone with about 1.1 to about 1.5 equivalents of a base, such as sodium hydride, potassium tert-butoxide, potassium 1,1 , 1 ,3,3,3- hexamethyldisilazane. cesium carbonate, in an inert diluent, such as DMF. This reaction is typically conducted at a temperature ranging from about -78 °C to about 80 °C for about 0.5 to about 6 hours. The resulting anion is then contacted with an excess, preferably about 1.1 to about 3.0 equivalents, of an alkyl halide, typically an alkyl chloride, bromide or iodide. Generally, this reaction is conducted at a temperamre of about 0°C to about 100°C for about 1 to about 48 hours.
Additionally, the 3-amino-2,4-dioxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-l,5- benzodiazepines employed in this invention are typically prepared by first coupling malonic acid with a 1 ,2-phenylenediamine. Conditions for this reaction are well known in the art and are described, for example, in PCT Application WO 96- US8400 960603. Subsequent alkylation and amination using conventional procedures and reagents affords various 3-amino-l ,5-bis(alkyl)-2,4-dioxo-2, 3,4,5- tetrahydro-lH-l ,5-benzodiazepines. Such procedures are described in further detail in the example set forth below.
Accordingly, a vast number of lactams, lactones and thiolactones are available by art recognized procedures. Similarly, the art is replete with examples of aminocycloalkyl compounds for use in the synthesis of compounds of Formulas I-VI above.
In the synthesis of the compounds described herein using the synthetic methods described above, the starting materials can contain a chiral center (e.g. , alanine) and, when a racemic starting material is employed, the resulting product is a mixmre of R,S enantiomers. Alternatively, a chiral isomer of the starting material can be employed and, if the reaction protocol employed does not racemize this starting material, a chiral product is obtained. Such reaction protocols can involve inversion of the chiral center during synthesis.
Pharmaceutical Formulations
When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds described herein are usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compounds can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, and intranasal. These compounds are effective as both injectable and oral compositions. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art and comprise at least one active compound.
The pharmaceutical compositions contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds described above, associated with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared, for example, by mixing the active ingredient with an excipient, diluting the active ingredient with an excipient, or enclosing the active ingredient within a carrier such as a capsule (including microparticles, nanoparticles, and liposomes), sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
In preparing a formulation, it may be necessary to mill the active compound to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it ordinarily is milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size is normally adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.
Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, macrocrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art. The compositions are preferably formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 100 mg, more usually about 10 to about 30 mg, of the active ingredient. The term "unit dosage forms" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. Preferably, the compound of Formulas I-VI above is employed at no more than about 20 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition, more preferably no more- than about 15 weight percent, with the balance being pharmaceutically inert carrier(s).
The active compound is effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, and the severity of the patient's symptoms.
For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixmre of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention. The tablets or pills of the present invention may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can separated by enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the compositions may be incoφorated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. Preferably the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in preferably pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a face masks tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, preferably orally or nasally, from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.

Another preferred formulation employed in the methods of the present invention employs transdermal delivery devices ("patches"). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compounds of the present invention in controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, e.g.. U.S. Patent 5,023,252, issued June 11, 1991, herein incoφorated by reference. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.
Frequently, it will be desirable or necessary to introduce the pharmaceutical composition to the brain, either directly or indirectly. Direct techniques usually involve placement of a drug delivery catheter into the host's ventricular system to bypass the blood-brain barrier. One such implantable delivery system used for the transport of biological factors to specific anatomical regions of the body is described in U.S. Patent 5,011,472 which is herein incoφorated by reference.
Indirect techniques, which are generally preferred, usually involve formulating the compositions to provide for drug latentiation by the conversion of hydrophilic drugs into lipid-soluble drugs. Latentiation is generally achieved through blocking of the hydroxy, carbonyl, sulfate, and primary amine groups present on the drug to render the drug more lipid soluble and amenable to transportation across the blood-brain barrier. Alternatively, the delivery of hydrophilic drugs may be enhanced by intra-arterial infusion of hypertonic solutions which can transiently open the blood-brain barrier.
Other suitable formulations for use in the present invention can be found in Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mace Publishing Company, Philadelphia. PA, 17th ed. (1985).

I. Coupling Procedures
GENERAL PROCEDURE A First EDC Coupling Procedure
To a 1 : 1 mixmre of the corresponding carboxylic acid and the corresponding amino acid ester or amide in CH2C12 at O C was added 1.5 equivalents triethylamine, followed by 2.0 equivalents hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate and then 1.25 equivalents of ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino)propyl carbodiimide'HCl. The reaction mixmre was stirred overnight at room temperamre and then transferred to a separatory funnel. The mixmre was washed with water, samrated aqueous NaHCO3, IN HCl and samrated aqueous NaCl, and then dried over MgSOφ The resulting solution was stripped free of solvent on a rotary evaporator to yield the crude product.
GENERAL PROCEDURE B Second EDC Coupling Procedure A mixmre of the corresponding acid (1 eqv), N-1 -hydroxybenzotriazole (1.6 eqv), the corresponding amine (1 eqv), N-methylmoφholine ( 3 eqv) and dichloromethane (or DMF for insoluble substrates) was cooled in an ice-water bath and stirred until a clear solution was obtained. EDC (1.3 eqv) was then added to the reaction mixmre. The cooling bath was then allowed to warm to ambient temperamre over 1-2 h and the reaction mixmre was stirred overnight. The reaction mixmre was then evaporated to dryness under vacuum. To the residue was added 20% aqueous potassium carbonate and the mixmre was shaken throughly and then allowed to stand until the oily product solidified (overnight if necessary). The solid product was then collected by filtration, washed thoroughly with 20% aqueous potassium carbonate, water, 10% HCl, and water to give the product, usually in pure state. No racemization was observed.
GENERAL PROCEDURE C Third EDC Coupling Procedure The carboxylic acid was dissolved in methylene chloride.

Collective, Vol. VII, page 254, to provide 5 -ethy Icaprolactam in 76% yield. Using the procedure described in Watthey, et al., J. Med. Chem. , 1985, 28, 1511-1516, this lactam was then dichlorinated with PCI5 at the α position and reduced by hydrogenation to provide four isomeric monochlorides (two racemic mixmres). The two racemic mixmres were separated from each other by column chromatography using silica gel and each racemic mixmre was reacted with sodium azide to yield the corresponding azide, which was hydrogenated to provide the corresponding α- aminolactams. Other cycloalkanones may be employed in this procedure to provide a wide variety of α-aminolactams. In some cases, such as when preparing the 9-membered ring α-aminolactam, longer reaction times, higher reaction temperamres and an excess of sodium azide may be required. For example, the 9- membered ring α-aminolactam required 5 equivalents of sodium azide, a reaction temperamre of 120°C and a reaction time of 4 days. Such conditions can be readily determined by those of ordinary skill in the art.

Step B: A suspension of the resin from Step A in NMP (9 mL) was reacted with an alkyl bromide (5.6 mL of 1 M solution in NMP) selected from l-bromo-2- ethylbutane, l-bromo-3-methylbutane, cyclopropylmethyl bromide, l-bromo-2- cyclohexylethane, l-bromo-4-fluorobutane, and l-bromo-2-methylbutane; and BEMP (5.6 mL of 1 M solution in NMP) and B114NI (5.6 mL of 1 M solution in NMP) for 20 hours at room temperamre. Reagents were drained and the resin washed with NMP (3 x 15 mL). To a mixmre of the resin in THF (7 mL) was added hydroxy lamine hydrochloride (2 mL of a 1.6 M solution in water) and the reaction was mixed for 20 hours at room temperamre. Reagents were drained and the resin washed sequentially with THF (2 5 mL), 0.5 M solution of diisopropylethylamine in THF (5 mL), THF (5 mL), and NMP (3 x 5 mL).
Step C: The resin from Step B was divided into 12 equal reactions using an isopicnic solution in NMP:CH2C1 . To each reaction was added sequentially a carboxylic acid (0.75 mL of a 0.45 M solution in NMP), HOBT (0.75 mL of a 0.45 M solution in NMP) and DIC (0.75 mL of a 0.45 M solution in NMP). The reaction was mixed for 18 hours at room temperamre. Reagents were drained and the resin washed with NMP (5 x 0.5 mL), and DCM (5 x 0.5 mL). The resin was mixed with TFA:H O (95:5, 0.5 mL) for 4 hours. The filtrate was collected, resin washed with TFA:H O (95:5, 0.5 mL) and the filtrates combined. Solvents were evaporated to yield the N-acyl amino acid.
GENERAL PROCEDURE C-R Various acylated amino acids (approximately 0.02 mmole) (from General Procedure C-Q) in separate vials were reacted with 5-amino-7-methyl-5,7-dihydro- 6H-dibenz[bd]azepin-6-one (0.1 mL, 0.3 M in DCM) (Example 7-A), PP-HOBT (0.2 mL, 0.15 M in DMF), and EDC-HC1 (0.4 mL, 0.08 M in DCM). Reactions were mixed for 18 hours at room temperamre. Reactions were diluted with 0.5 mL MeOH, loaded onto a Varian SCX column (500 mg, Varian Sample Preparations, pre-washed with MeOH (2.5 mL) and 10% MeOH:CHCl3 (2.5 mL)), and eluted with 10% MeOH:CHCl3 (2.5 mL). Solvents were evaporated from the products and the crude products purified by semi-prep reverse phase chromatography (gradient 0 to 100 % , 0.1 % TFA in H2O to 0.08% TFA in CH3CN). The correct molecular ion was detected for each product by ionspray mass spec and analytical reverse phase chromatography (gradient 0 to 100 % , 0.01 % TFA in H2O to 0.08% TFA in CH3CN) showed the products to be greater than 90% pure.
GENERAL PROCEDURE C-S
Step A: Each amino acid (150 μmol) was weighed into an 8-mL capacity vial and dissolved in 1.5 mL of 10% DMF in dichloromethane (DCM). To each vial was added 0.8 mL (175 μmol) of a solution of 5-amino-7-methyl-5,7-dihydro-6H- dibenz[b,d]azepin-6-one hydrochloride (481 mg, 1.75 mmol) (from Example 7-A) and 670 mg (1.75 mmol) of PP-HOBT (from Example C-AF) dissolved in 7.5 mL DMF. This was followed by the addition to each vial of 2 mL (approximately 200 μmol) of a solution of EDC hydrochloride in DCM (383 mg, 2.0 mmol in 20 mL DCM). After rocking the vials at room temperature for 14 hours, approximately 100-125 mg of polystyrene-piperidine resin (approximately 3.6 mmol/g, 350 μmol, 2.33 eq.) was added to each vial and rocking continued for 15 minutes. Methanol (2.5 mL) was added to each vial and the material put on a 1 g SCX column (Varian) pre-equilibrated with 5 mL of MeOH and 5 mL of 10%
MeOH/chloroform. After pushing the liquid through the column with nitrogen, the column was washed with 5 mL of 10% MeOH/chloroform. The combined eluents (collected in 25 mL roundbottom flasks) were evaporated at reduced pressure with a warm water bath at 30-35 °C and then mrther evaporated in a vacuum oven at 40-45 °C. When the net weight of the residues was below 100 mg, 5 mL of dioxane and, if necessary, 1 mL of MeOH was added to redissolve the residue and solvent was again removed on the rotary evaporator and in the vacuum oven. After drying in the vacuum oven overnight, an HPLC was taken of each product. HPLC show primarily the desired product and with about 15% deblocked product (i.e. , product with the BOC group removed).
Step B: To each round bottom flask was added 5 mL of 4 N HCl in dioxane. After sitting at room temperature for 2-3 hours, an HPLC was taken and was solvent removed on the rotary evaporator (bath temp 30-35 °C) and in the vacuum oven overnight (at approximately 40°C). The HPLC of the t-butyl threonine adduct showed incomplete removal of the t-butyl group. An additional 5 mL of 4 N HCl in dioxane was added and the reaction (at room temperamre) monitored by HPLC at 4 hours and approximately 20 hours. Complete removal of the t-butyl group was observed after 20 hours. All products were pure by HPLC with only a single peak or resolved diastereomeric peaks observed except for some trace impurities in the methione case. Yields varied from 80 to 100% . Each round bottom contained approximately 150 μmoles of the amino acid linked to 5-amino- 7-methyl-5,7-dihydro-6H-dibenz[b,d]azepin-6-one.
Step C: A stock solution of 567 mg (1.48 mmol) PP-HOBT in 8.5 mL DMF (approximately 0.175 M PP-HOBT in DMF) was prepared and 0.81 g (0.86 mL, 150 μmol) of this PP-HOBT solution was added to each of the nine round-bottom vessels containing the products from Step B. Clear solutions were obtained for all, except where the linked amino acid was amino isobutyric acid. In this case, an additional 0.86 mL of DMF was added but still the mixmre remained heterogeneous. The contents of each of the nine round bottoms "n" (where n = 1 to 9) were divided into four equal portions (approximately 37 μmols each) and placed in vials. Stock solutions (0.1 M) of the carboxylic acids were then made up in 10% DMF/DCM. The appropriate stock solution (0.3 mL, 30 μmol) was then added to each of the vials. A 0.1 M stock solution (20 mL) of EDC hydrochloride in DMF was prepared. This stock solution (0.4 mL, 40 μmol) was then added to each of the vials which were then capped and put on a rotator for 12 hours. Normal SCX workup and evaporation of solvent afforded products as white solids or clear to light caramel resins. Each of these products was taken up in methanol/chloroform and divided into three tared vials, plus a vial for MS and HPLC characterization. After evaporation of solvent, the final weights in each vial were determined. Product identity was verified by ionspray mass spec and purity assessed by reverse phase HPLC.
Example C-AF Preparation of PP-HOBT To a stirred solution of 7.68g (30 mmol) sulfonyl chloride in 120 mL of dichloromethane was added dropwise, over a 10 min period, 5.04g (30 mmol) of 4-piperidino-piperidine (Aldrich, 90%) and 3.6 g (36 mmol) of triethylamine in 30 mL of dichloromethane. A mildly exothermic reaction ensued. After stirring 2 hours at room temperamre, the orange solution was diluted with 100 mL of dichloromethane and washed with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution (2 x 100 mL) and brine (1 x 100 mL). After drying over sodium sulfate, the solvent was removed at reduced pressure to afford 10.7 g of crude product as a light tan solid (Rf = 0.5, Silica, 10% MeOH/chloroform).
To this crude material was added 200 mL of 95 % EtOH/5% MeOH followed by 60 mL of hydrazine hydrate. The mixmre was refluxed for 3 hours. During the first 0.5 hour, the initially orange solution turned deep red-orange before turning orange again. After refluxing for 3 hours, most of the solvent, water and hydrazine was removed at reduced pressure. To the residue was added 50 mL of EtOH and solvent removed at reduced pressure. This was repeated 2 or more times to give a tan solid which was further dried in the vacuum oven to a constant weight of 13.5 g. To the flask containing this solid was added 250 mL of water. Almost all of the solid went into solution, then a fine light yellow precipitate formed. After stirring cooled in an ice bath for two hours, the solid was collected by vacuum filtration through a sintered glass filter, and rinsed with about 20 mL of cold water. Drying in the vacuum oven at 40°C overnight afforded 7.3 g (63% yield) of the title compound (PP-HOBT) as an off-white crunchy powder, mp 195- 200 °C (dec).

Additionally, the following procedures provide various carboxylic acid esters which can be hydrolyzed using General Procedures AC or BD below to afford the corresponding carboxylic acids. Coupling of the resulting carboxylic acids to the amines employed above using the General Procedures set forth above provides for additional compounds within the scope of this invention.
GENERAL PROCEDURE AA Reductive Amination To a solution of the arylamine in ethanol in a hydrogenation flask was added 1 equivalent of the 2-oxocarboxylic acid ester (e.g. , pyruvate ester), followed by 10% palladium on carbon (25 weight percent based on the arylamine). The reaction was hydrogenated at 20 psi H on a Parr shaker until complete reaction was indicated by tic (30 minutes to 16 hours). The reaction mixmre was then filtered through a pad of Celite 545 (available from Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc.) and stripped free of solvent on a rotary evaporator. The crude product residue was then further purified via chromatography.
GENERAL PROCEDURE AB First Transesterification Technique
A solution of 1-5 equivalents of the desired alcohol was added to 1 equivalent of sodium hydride in toluene. After off-gassing had ceased, the compound to be transesterified, dissolved in toluene, was added. After 0.5 hours, the reaction was either heated to 40°C and placed under house vacuum ( 20 mmHg), or nitrogen was bubbled through the solution while it was heated at 90°C. The reaction was followed by tic, and when the reaction was complete the solution was cooled and quenched with water or IM HCl, and in smaller scale reactions diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was extracted with samrated aqueous NaHCC^, then washed with samrated aqueous NaCl and dried over MgSO4. The solution was stripped free of solvent on a rotary evaporator, and the crude product residue was then further purified by chromatography. Alternatively, the reaction mixmre was worked-up by evaporation of the solvents and direct chromatography of the crude mixmre.
This procedure is particularly useful in the case of costly and/or high boiling alcohols.
GENERAL PROCEDURE AC
Second Transesterification Technique The compound to be transesterified was placed in a large excess of the desired alcohol. A catalytic amount of dry NaH was added, and the reaction was followed by tic until the presence of starting material was no longer detected. The reaction was quenched with a few milliliters of IN HCl, and after a few minutes of stirring samrated aqueous NaHCO3 was added. The organic phase was washed with samrated aqueous NaCl and dried over MgSO4. The solution was stripped free of solvent on a rotary evaporator, and the crude product residue was then further purified by chromatography.
GENERAL PROCEDURE AD Third Transesterification Technique
The compound to be transesterified was placed in a large excess of the desired alcohol. A catalytic amount of dry NaH was added, and the reaction was followed by tic until the presence of starting material was no longer detected. The reaction was quenched with a few milliliters of IN HCl, and after a few minutes of stirring samrated aqueous NaHCO3 was added. The volume of the reaction mixmre was reduced on a rotary evaporator until the excess alcohol was removed and then the remaining residue was taken up in ethyl acetate and additional water was added. The organic phase was washed with samrated aqueous NaCl and dried over MgSO4. The solution was stripped free of solvent on a rotary evaporator, and the crude product residue was then further purified by chromatography.
This procedure is particularly employed in the case of low boiling, inexpensive alcohols, miscible with water.

The reaction was stirred at room temperamre for 2 hours, then was quenched with water and extracted into ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with samrated aqueous ΝaHCU3, water, and samrated aqueous NaCl, and was then dried over MgSO4. The solution was stripped free of solvent on a rotary evaporator to yield the crude product. GENERAL PROCEDURE AF

The mixmre was heated to 50° C for 0.5 to 1.5 hours until tic showed complete reaction. The reaction was cooled to room temperamre and the methanol was removed on a rotary evaporator. The pH of the remaining aqueous solution was adjusted to — 2, and ethyl acetate was added to extract the product. The organic phase was then washed with samrated aqueous ΝaCl and dried over MgSO4. The solution was stripped free of solvent on a rotary evaporator to yield the crude product.
GENERAL PROCEDURE AG
N-Heteroarylation of Alanine A solution of 1.1 equivalents of L-alanine and 2 equivalents ΝaOH in DMSO was stirred at room temperamre for 1 hour, then 1 equivalent of 2- chlorobenzothiazole was added. The mixmre was heated to 100°C for 4 hours, then cooled to room temperamre and poured onto ice. The pH of the resulting aqueous solution was adjusted to ~ 2, and the precipitated solid was removed by filtration. This solid was then dissolved in IN ΝaOH and the resulting solution was filtered through a pad of Celite 545.

The solution was allowed to stir overnight and come to room temperamre under nitrogen pressure. The reaction mixmre was worked up by washing the organic phase with samrated aqueous sodium carbonate, 0.1M citric acid, and brine before drying with sodium sulfate. The solvents were then removed to yield crude product. Pure products were obtained by flash chromatography in an appropriate solvent. GENERAL PROCEDURE AM Triflate Displacement To a 0°C solution of iso-butyl R-(+)-lactate in CH2C12 was added 1.1 equivalents of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride. After stirring at room temperamre for 20 min, 1.1 equivalents of 2,6-lutidine was added and stirring was continued for 10 min. This solution was then transferred to a flask containing 1 equivalent the arylamine and 1 equivalent N,N-diisopropylethylamine in CH2C12 or CH3ΝO at 0°C.

GENERAL PROCEDURE BD
Ester Hydrolysis to the Free Acid Ester hydrolysis to the free acid was conducted by conventional methods. Below are two examples of such conventional de-esterification methods.
To the ester in a 1: 1 mixmre of CH3OH/H2O was added 2-5 equivalents of
K2CO3. The mixmre was heated to about 50°C for about 0.5 to 1.5 hours until tic showed complete reaction. The reaction was cooled to room temperamre and the methanol was removed at reduced pressure. The pH of the remaining aqueous solution was adjusted to about 2, and ethyl acetate was added to extract the product. The organic phase was then washed with samrated aqueous NaCl and dried over MgSO4. The solution was stripped free of solvent at reduced pressure to yield the product.
The amino acid ester was dissolved in dioxane/water (4: 1) to which was added LiOH ( ~ 2 eq.) that was dissolved in water such that the total solvent after addition was about 2: 1 dioxane: water. The reaction mixmre was stirred until reaction completion and the dioxane was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with EtOAc, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer acidified to pH 2. The aqueous layer was back extracted with EtOAc, the combined organics were dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure after filtration. The residue was purified by conventional methods (e.g. , recrystallization). The following exemplifies this later example. The methyl ester of 3-NO2 phenylacetyl alanine 9.27 g (0.0348 mols) was dissolved in 60 mL dioxane and 15 mL of H O and adding LiOH (3.06 g, 0.0731 mol) that has been dissolved in 15 mL of H2O. After stirring for 4 hours, the dioxane was removed under reduced pressure and the residue diluted with EtOAc, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer acidified to pH 2. The aqueous layer was back extracted with EtOAc (4 X 100 mL), the combined organics were dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure after filtration. The residue was recrystallized from EtOAc/isooctane giving 7.5 g (85%) of 3-nitrophenylacetyl alanine. C1 1H1 N2O5 requires C = 52.38, H = 4.80, and N = 11.11.

The reaction was cooled to about 0°C and then 1.2 eq. of l-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride was added. The solution was allowed to stir overnight and come to room temperamre under N pressure. The reaction mixmre was worked up by washing the solution with samrated, aqueous Na CO3, 0.1M citric acid, and brine before drying with Na SO4 and removal of solvents to yield crude product. Pure products were obtained by flash chromatography in an appropriate solvent.
GENERAL PROCEDURE BG
EDC Coupling of Acid an Amine A round bottom flask was charged with carboxylic acid (1.0 eq.), hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (1.1 eq.) and amine (1.0 eq.) in THF under nitrogen atmosphere. An appropriate amount (1.1 eq. for free amines and 2.2 eq. for hydrochloride amine salts) of base, such as Hunig's base was added to the well stirred mixmre followed by EDC (1.1 eq.). After stirring from 4 to 17 hours at room temperamre the solvent was removed at reduced pressure, the residue taken up in EtOAc (or similar solvent)/water. The organic layer was washed with samrated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, IN HCl, brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. In some cases, the isolated product was analytically pure at this stage while, in other cases, purification via chromatography and/or recrystallization was required prior to biological evaluation.
GENERAL PROCEDURE BH Coupling of R1C(X')(X'-)C(O^C1 with H2NCHflAc(O)XR3
An excess of oxalyl chloride in dichloromethane was added to the acid derivative together with one drop of DMF. The resulting mixmre was stirred for about 2 hours or until bubbling ceases. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure and rediluted with dry methylene chloride. To the resulting solution was added about 1.1 eq. of the appropriate amino acid ester and triethylamine (1.1 eq. in methylene chloride). The system was stirred at room temperamre for 2 hours and then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with IN HCl followed by IN NaOH. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to provide for the desired product.
GENERAL PROCEDURE BI P-EPC coupling P-EPC coupling employs an amino acid ester and a substituted acetic acid compound. The acetic acid derivative is well known in the art and is typically commercially available. The amino acid ester is prepared by conventional methods from the known and typically commercially available N-BOC amino acid as described in GENERAL PROCEDURE BJ below.
Specifically, the appropriate amino ester free base (0.0346 mmols) and substimted phenylacetic acid (0.069 mmols) were dissolved in 2.0 mL CHCI3 (EtOH free), treated with 150 mg of P-EPC (0.87 meq./g) and the reaction was mixed for 4 days at 23 C. The reaction was filtered through a plug of cotton, rinsed with 2.0 mL of CHCI3 and the filtrate evaporated under a stream of nitrogen. The purity of each sample was determined by H NMR and ranged from 50% to > 95 % . Between 8.0 and 15.0 mg of final product was obtained from each reaction and was tested without additional purification.
GENERAL PROCEDURE BJ
Synthesis of Amino Acid Esters From the Corresponding N-BOC Amino Acid A. Esterification of the Acid. The N-BOC amino acid was dissolved in dioxane and treated with an excess of alcohol ( ~ 1.5 eq.) and catalytic DMAP (100 mg) at 0°C. Stirring was continued until reaction completion whereupon the product was recovered by conventional methods. B. Removal of N-BOC Group.
The N-BOC protected amino acid was dissolved in methylene chloride (0.05M) and treated with 10 eq. of TFA at room temperamre under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was monitored by tic until starting material was consumed usually within 1-5 hours. An additional 10 eq. of TFA was added to the reaction if the starting material was still present after 5 hours. The reaction was carefully neutralized with Na2CO3, separated, the organic layer washed with brine and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The crude amine was then used without purification.
Specific exemplification of these procedures are as follows:
1. Racemic ( + /-)-N-BOC-α-amino butyric acid (Aldrich) (9.29 g, 0.0457 mol) was dissolved in 100 mL of dioxane and treated with /sø-butyl alcohol (6.26 mL, 0.0686 mol), EDC (8.72 g, 0.0457) and catalytic DMAP (100 mg) at 0°C.
After stirring for 17 hours, the organics were evaporated at reduced pressure, the residue diluted with EtOAc washed with NaHCO3, brine and dried over Na SO .
Evaporation yields 8.42 g (71 %) of an oil. C13H25NO4 requires: C = 60.21 , H
= 9.72, and N = 5.40. Anal found: C = 59.91 ,
H = 9.89, and N = 5.67.
The above N-BOC amino acid ester (8.00 g, 0.032 mol) was deprotected as above giving 3.12 g (61 %) of the free base as a colorless oil which solidifies upon standing. 2. L-N-BOC-alanine (Aldrich) (8.97 g, 0.047 mol) was dissolved in 100 mL of CH2C12, ύø-butyl alcohol (21.9 mL, 0.238 mol) and treated with DMAP (100 mg) and EDC (10.0 g, 0.52 mol) at O C. The mixmre was stirred for 17 hours, diluted with H2O, washed with 1.0 N HCl, NaHCO3, then brine and the organics were dried over Na2SO4. Filtration and evaporation yields 11.8 g (quantitative) of L-N-BOC alanine rø-butyl ester which is contaminated with a small amount of solvent. A sample was vacuum dried for analytical analysis. C12H23NO4 requires: C = 58.79, H = 9.38, and N = 5.71. Anal found: C = 58.73. H = 9.55, and N = 5.96.
The above N-BOC amino acid ester (11.8 g, 0.0481 mol) was deprotected as above. The free base was converted to the corresponding HCl salt using samrated HCl (g)/EtOAc to give L-N-alanine wø-butyl ester hydrochloride. Obtained 4.2 g (48%) of a colorless solid. Anal. Calc. for C7H15NO2. HCl: C = 46.28, H = 8.88, and N = 7.71. Found: C = 46.01 , H = 8.85, and N = 7.68.

Production Numerous compounds described above were assayed for their ability to inhibit β-amyloid production in a cell line possessing the Swedish mutation This screening assay employed cells (K293 = human kidney cell line) which were stably transfected with the gene for amyloid precursor protein 751 (APP751) containing the double mutation L YS6, , , Met6S2 to numbering) in the manner described in International Patent Application Publication No 94/105698 and Citron et al ι: This mutation is commonly called the Swedish mutation and the cells, designated as ' 293 751 SWE" , were plated in Corning 96-welI plates at 2-4 x 104 cells per well in Dulbecco s minimal essential media (Sigma. St Louis. MO) plus 10% fetal bovine serum Cell number is important in order to achieve β-amyloid ELISA results within the linear range of the assay (around 0 2 to 2 5 ng per mL) 15
Following overnight incubation at 37 °C in an incubator equilibrated with 10% carbon dioxide, media were removed and replaced with 200 microhters of a compound described above (drug) containing media per well for a two hour pretreatment period and cells were incubated as above Drug stocks were prepared in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide such that at the final drug concentration used in the treatment, the concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide did not exceed 0.5% and. in tact, usually equaled 0 1 % At the end of the pretreatment period, the media were again removed and replaced with fresh drug-containing media as above and cells were incubated for an additional two hours After treatment, plates were centrifuged in a Beckman GPR at 1200 rpm for five minutes at room temperature to pellet cellular debris from the conditioned media From each well, 100 αL of conditioned media or appropriate dilutions thereof were transferred into an ELISA plate pre-coated with antibody 266 [P Seubert, Nature (1992) 359 325-327] against ammo acids 13-28 of β-amyloid peptide as described in International Patent Application Publication No 94/105698 and stored at 4°C overnight An ELISA assay employing labelled antibody 3D6 [P Seubert. Nature (1992) 359 325-327] against amino acids 1-5 of β-amyloid peptide was run the next day to measure the amount of β-amyloid peptide produced
Cytotoxic effects of the compounds were measured by a modification of the method of Hansen. et al π To the cells remaining in the tissue culture plate was added 25 microhters of a 3-(4,5-dιmethylthιazol-2-yl)-2.5-dιphenyltetrazohum bromide (MTT) (Sigma, St Louis, MO) stock solution (5 mg/mL) to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL Cells were incubated at 37 C for one hour, and cellular activity was stopped by the addition of an equal volume of MTT lysis buffer (20% w/v sodium dodecylsulfate in 50% dimethylformamide, pH 4 7) Complete extraction was achieved by overnight shaking at room temperature The difference in the OD.,62nm and the OD650nm was measured in a Molecular Device's UVma microplate reader as an indicator of the cellular viability The results of the β-amyloid peptide ELISA were fit to a standard curve and expressed as ng/mL β-amyloid peptide In order to normalize for cytotoxicity. these results were divided by the MTT results and expressed as a percentage of the results from a drug free control All results are the mean and standard deviation of at least six replicate assays
The test compounds were assayed for β-amyloid peptide production inhibition activity in cells using this assay The results of this assay demonstrate that the compounds described herein inhibit β-amyloid peptide production by at least 30% as compared to control
Example Bιo-2 In Vivo Suppression of β-amyloid Release and/or Synthesis
This example illustrates how the compounds of this invention could be tested for in suppression of β-amyioid release and/or synthesis For these experiments. 3 to 4 month old PDAPP mice are used [Games et al , (1995) Nature 373 523-527] Depending upon which compound is being tested, the compound is usually formulated at between I and 10 mg/mL Because of the low solubility factors of the compounds, they may be formulated with various vehicles, such as corn oil (Safeway, South San Francisco, CA), 10% ethanol in corn oil. 2- hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextπn (Research Biochemicals International. Natick MA), and carboxy- ethyl-cellulose (Sigma Chemical Co . St Louis MO)
The mice are dosed subcutaneously with a 26 gauge needle and 3) hours later the animals are euthanized via CO. narcosis and blood is taken by cardiac puncmre using a 1 cc 25G 5/8" tuberculin syπnge/needle coated with solution of 0 5 M EDTA. pH 8 0 The blood is placed in a Becton- Dickinson vacutainer tube containing EDTA and spun down for 15 minutes at 1500 xg at 5 °C The brains of the mice are then removed and the cortex and hippocampus are dissected out and placed on ice
1 Brain Assay
To prepare hippocampal and cortical tissue for enzyme- linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) each brain region is homogenized in 10 volumes of ice cold guanidine buffer (5 0 M guanidine-HCl. 50 mM Tπs-HCl, pH 8 0) using a Kontes motorized pestle (Fisher. Pittsburgh PA) The homogenates are gently rocked on a rotating platform for three to four hours at room temperature and stored at -20°C prior to quantitation of β-amyloid peptide
The brain homogenates are diluted 1 10 with ice-cold casein buffer [0 25 % casein, phosphate buffered saline (PBS), 0 05% sodium azide. 20 micrograms/ml aprotinin. 5 mM EDTA, pH 8 0, 10 micrograms/ml leupeptin], thereby reducing the final concentration of guanidine to 0 5 M, before centrifugation at 16,000 xg for 20 minutes at 4 C Samples are further diluted, if necessary, to achieve an optimal range for the ELISA measurements by the addition of casein buffer with 0 5 M guanidine hydrochloride added The β-amyloid standards (1-40 or 1-42 amino acids) were prepared such that the final composition equaled 0 5 M guanidine in the presence of 0 1 % bovine serum albumin (BSA)
The total β-amyloid sandwich ELISA. quantitating both β- amyloid (aa 1-40) and β-amyloid (aa 1-42) includes two monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to β-amyloid. The capture antibody. 266 [P. Seubert. Nature (1992) 359:325-327], is specific to amino acids 13 - 28 of β-amyloid. The antibody 3D6 [Johnson- Wood et al.. PNAS USA (1997) 94: 1550-1555], which is specific to amino acids 1-5 of β-amyloid, is biotinylated and serves as the reporter antibody in the assay. The 3D6 biotinylation procedure employs the manufacturer's (Pierce, Rockford IL) protocol for NHS-biotin labeling of immunoglobulins except that 100 mM sodium bicarbonate, pH 8.5 buffer is used. The 3D6 antibody does not recognize secreted amyloid precursor protein (APP) or full-length APP but detects only β-amyloid species with an amino terminal aspartic acid. The assay has a lower limit of sensitivity of about 50 pg/ml (11 pM) and shows no crossreactivity to the endogenous murine β-amyloid peptide at concentrations up to 1 ng/ml.
The configuration of the sandwich ELISA quantitating the level of β-amyloid (aa 1-42) employs the mAb 21F12 [Johnson- Wood et al.. PNAS USA (1997) 94: 1550-1555] (which recognizes amino acids 33-42 of β-amyloid) as the capture antibody. Biotinylated 3D6 is also the reporter antibody in this assay which has a lower limit of sensitivity of around 125 pg/ml (28 pM).
The 266 and 21F12 capture mAbs are coated at 10 micrograms/ml into 96 well immunoassay plates (Costar, Cambidge CIA) overnight at room temperamre. The plates are then aspirated and blocked with 0.25% human serum albumin in PBS buffer for at least 1 hour at room temperamre. then stored desiccated at 4 C until use. The plates are rehydrated with wash buffer (Tris-buffered saline. 0.05% Tween 20) prior to use. The samples and standards are added to the plates and incubated overnight at 4 C The plates are washed 3 or more times with wash buffer between each step of the assay The biotinylated 3D6, diluted to 0 5 micrograms/ml in casein incubation buffer (0 25 % casein, PBS. 0 05% Tween 20, pH 7 4) is incubated in the well for I hour at room temperamre Avidin-
HRP (Vector, Burhngame CA) diluted 1 4000 in casein incubation buffer is added to the wells for 1 hour at room temperamre The colorimetric substrate, Slow TMB-ELISA (Pierce. Cambridge MA), is added and allowed to react for 15 minutes, after which the enzymatic reaction is stopped with addition of 2 N H2S04 Reaction product is quantified using a Molecular Devices Vmax (Molecular Devices, Menlo Park CA) measuring the difference in absorbance at 450 nm and 650 nm
2 Blood Assa\
The EDTA plasma is diluted 1 1 in specimen diluent (0 2 gm/1 sodium phosphate F O (monobasic), 2 16 gm/1 sodium phosphate-7H2O (dibasic), 0 5 gm/1 thimerosal. 8 5 gm/1 sodium chloride. 0 5 ml Triton X-405, 6 0 g/1 globulin-tree bovine serum albumin, and water) The samples and standards in specimen diluent are assayed using the total β-amyloid assay (266 capture/3D6 reporter) described above for the brain assay except the specimen diluent was used instead of the casein diluents described
