Description
UREA DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE AS INTEGRINE INHIBITORS
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to compounds that are inhibitors of the interaction between the integrin a4ß ?, also known as Very Late Antigen-4 (AMT-4) or CD49d / CD29 and its protein ligands, for example the Molecule of Vascular Cell Adhesion-1 (MACV-1) and fibronectin. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in methods of therapeutic application. The a4ß? is a member of the integrin family of heterodimeric cell surface receptors that are composed of glycoprotein subunits non-covalently associated (a and β) and participate in cell adhesion to other cells or to the extracellular matrix. There are at least 14 different integrin to human subunits and at least at least 8 different subunits ß and each β subunit can form a heterodimer with one or more alpha subunits. Integrins can be subdivided based on their composition of β subunits. The aß? is one of several ßi integrins, also known as Very Late Antigens (AMT).
REF .: 119420 The interactions between the integrins and their protein ligands are fundamental for the maintenance of cellular function, for example when joining cells in a particular location, facilitating cell migration or providing survival signals to cells from their environment. Ligands recognized by integrins include extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and fibronectin; plasma proteins such as fibrinogen; and cell surface molecules such as the transmembrane proteins of the immunoglobulin superfamily and the cell-binding complement. The specificity of the interaction between the integrin and the ligand is governed by the composition of the a and ß subunits. The integrin a4β? it is expressed in numerous hematopoietic cells and in established cell lines, including hematopoietic precursors, peripheral blood and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, monocytes, thymocytes and eosinophils [Hemler, M. E. et al. , (1987), J. Biol. Chem., 262, 11478-11485; Bochner, B. S. et al. ,
(1991), J. Exp. Med., 173, 1553-1556], Unlike other ßi integrins that bind only to extracellular matrix proteins, a4β? binds to MACV-1, which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed on the cell surface, for example in vascular endothelial cells; and to fibronectin containing the alternatively spliced type III (fibronectin CS-1) connecting segment [Elices, M. J. et al. , (1990), Cell, 60, 577-584; Wayner, E. A. et al. , (1989), J. Cell Biol., 109, 1321-1330]. The activation and extravasation of blood leukocytes plays a major role in the development and progress of inflammatory diseases. Cell adhesion to vascular endothelium is required before cells migrate from the blood to the inflamed tissue and is mediated by specific interactions between cell adhesion molecules on the surface of vascular endothelial cells and circulating leukocytes [Sharar, SR et al. al , (1995), Springer Semin. Immunopathol. , 16, 359- 378]. It is believed that the aß? It plays an important role in the recruitment of lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophils during inflammation. The binding of a4β? / Ligand has also been implicated in the proliferation of T cells, in the location of B cells towards the germinal center, in the location of hematopoietic progenitor cells in the bone marrow, placental development, muscle development and metastasis of tumor cells. The affinity of a4β? its ligands are usually low, but the chemokines expressed by the inflamed vascular endothelium act through receptors on the surface of leukocytes to regulate the function of a4ßa [Weber, C. et al. , (1996), J. Cell Biol., 134, 1063-1073]. The expression of MACV-1 is regulated in endothelial cells in vi tro by inflammatory cytokines [Osborn, L. et al. , (1989), Cell, 59, 1203-1211] and in human inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis [Morales-Ducret, J. et al. , (1992), J. Immunol., 149, 1424-1431], multiple sclerosis [Cannella, B. et al. ,
(1995), Ann. Neurol. , 37, 424-435], allergic asthma [FGBuda,
T. et al. , (1996, Am. J. Respir, Cell Mol. Biol., 14, 84-94) and atherosclerosis [O'Brien, K. D. et al., (1993), J.
Clin. Invest., 92, 945-951]. Monoclonal antibodies directed against the integrin α subunit have been shown to be effective in a number of animal models of human inflammatory diseases, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, allergic asthma, contact dermatitis, transplant rejection , insulin-dependent diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and glomerulonephritis. Integrins recognize small peptide portions in their ligands. The minimal binding epitope of a4β? in CS-1 is the tripeptide leucine-aspartic acid-yaline (Leu-Asp-Val) [Ko oriya, A., et al. , (1991), J.
* k Biol. Chem., 266, 15075-15079], while MACV-1 contains the similar sequence isoleucine-aspartic acid-5 serine [Clements, J. M., et al. , (1994), J. Cell Sci., 107, 2127-2135]. The fragment of fibronectin of 25 amino acids, peptide CS-1, containing the portion Leu-Asp-Val, is a competitive inhibitor of the binding of a4β? to MACV-1 [Makarem, R., et al. , (1994), J. Biol. Chem., 10 269, 4005-4011]. Have been described small inhibitors of the molecule a4ß? with the sequence Leu-Asp-Val in CS-1, for example the linear molecule phenylacetic acid-Leu-Asp-Phe-D-Pro-amide [Molossi, S. et al. , (1995), J. Clin. Invest., 95, 2601-2610] and the cyclic peptide with sources of
Cys-Trp-Leu-Asp-Val-Vys disulfide [Vanderslice, P., et al. , (1997), J. Immunol., 158, 1710-1718]. More recently, in International Publication WO 96/00581, published on January 11, 1996 and in International Publication WO 96/20216 published on
July 4, 1996, cyclic peptides are described which contain the Leu-Asp-Val sequence to inhibit the binding of the integrin a4β? to MACV-1 or fibronectin. Some small non-peptidic compounds having Leu-Asp-Val have been reported in International Publication WO 94/02445 published on February 3, 1994, to inhibit the adhesion of? -4β? induced. More recently non-peptidic compounds of Formula I that can be administered orally and that inhibit MACV / AMT-4 binding have been reported in PCT Patent Application WO 96/22966.

Female Balb / c mice (20 to 25 g body weight) were immunized on the flank, with a 1: 1 emulsion.
(v / v) ovalbumin (2 mg / ml) with ACF. "Seven days later, the mice were challenged by a subplant injection of 1% ovalbumin added by heat in saline (30 μl) in the foot pad of the right hind paw, and inflammation of the paw developed in a 24-hour period. after which the thickness of each leg was measured and compared to the thickness of the contralateral non-injected leg, the percentage increase in thickness of the footpad of each foot was calculated. The compounds were administered orally in groups of 5. mice, at doses ranging from 0.001 mg / kg to 100 mg / kg Inhibition of the inflammatory response was calculated by comparing vehicle-treated animals and groups of animals treated with the compound.
1. 2.2 Arthritis induced by collagen in mice. Male DBA / 1 mice were immunized with 0.1 ml of an emulsion prepared with equal volumes of bovine collagen type II in 0.05 M acetic acid (2 mg / ml) and ACF. This mixture was injected at the base of the tail. Twenty days later, the compounds were administered orally at doses ranging from 0.001 mg / kg / day to 100 mg / kg / day. The day after the first dose, each animal received an intraperitoneal booster injection of 0.1 ml of type II collagen in acetic acid. Mice were evaluated for the incidence and severity of arthritis in the four limbs for up to 28 days.
Inhibition of arthritis was calculated by comparing vehicle-treated mice and mice treated with the compound.
