Description

<div class="application article clearfix" id="description"> <p class="printTableText" lang="en">New Zealand Paient Spedficaiion for Paient Number 522965 <br><br> 522965 <br><br> WO 01/95911 PCT/USO1/19062 <br><br> PROTEASE INHIBITORS <br><br> FIELD OF THE INVENTION <br><br> This invention relates in general to 4-amino-azepan-3-one protease inhibitors, 5 particularly such inhibitors of cysteine and serine proteases, more particularly compounds which inhibit cysteine proteases, even more particularly compounds which inhibit cysteine proteases of the papain superfamily, yet more particularly compounds which inhibit cysteine proteases of the cathepsin family, most particularly compounds which inhibit cathepsin K. Such compounds are particularly useful for treating diseases in which 10 cysteine proteases are implicated, especially diseases of excessive bone or cartilage loss, e.g., osteoporosis, periodontitis, and arthritis. <br><br> BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION <br><br> Cathepsins are a family of enzymes which are part of the papain superfamily of 15 cysteine proteases. Cathepsins B, H, L, N and S have been described in the literature. Recently, cathepsin K polypeptide and the cDNA encoding such polypeptide were disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,501,969 (called cathepsin O therein). Cathepsin K has been recently expressed, purified, and characterized. Bossard, M. J., et al., (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 12517-12524; Drake, F.H., et al., (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 12511-12516; Bromme, 20 D., et al., (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271,2126-2132. <br><br> Cathepsin K has been variously denoted as cathepsin O or cathepsin 02 in the literature. The designation cathepsin K is considered to be the more appropriate one. <br><br> Cathepsins function in the normal physiological process of protein degradation in animals, including humans, e.g., in the degradation of connective tissue. However, elevated 25 levels of these enzymes in the body can result in pathological conditions leading to disease. Thus, cathepsins have been implicated as causative agents in various disease states, including but not limited to, infections by Pneumocystis carinii, trypsanoma cruzi, trypsanoma brucei brucei, and Crithidia fusiculata; as well as in schistosomiasis, malaria, tumor metastasis, metachromatic leukodystrophy, muscular dystrophy, amytrophy, and the 30 like. See International Publication Number WO 94/04172, published on March 3, 1994, and references cited therein. See also European Patent Application EP 0 603 873 Al, and references cited therein. Two bacterial cysteine proteases from P. gingivallis, called <br><br> 1 <br><br> WO 01/95911 <br><br> PCT/US01/19062 <br><br> gingipains, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of gingivitis. Potempa, J., et al. (1994) Perspectives in Drug Discovery and Design, 2, 445-458. <br><br> Cathepsin K is believed to play a causative role in diseases of excessive bone or cartilage loss. Bone is composed of a protein matrix in which spindle- or plate-shaped 5 crystals of hydroxyapatite are incorporated. Type I collagen represents the major structural protein of bone comprising approximately 90% of the protein matrix. The remaining 10% of matrix is composed of a number of non-collagenous proteins, including osteocalcin, proteoglycans, osteopontin, osteonectin, thrombospondin, fibronectin, and bone sialoprotein. Skeletal bone undergoes remodelling at discrete foci throughout life. These 10 foci, or remodelling units, undergo a cycle consisting of a bone resorption phase followed by a phase of bone replacement. <br><br> Bone resorption is carried out by osteoclasts, which are multinuclear cells of hematopoietic lineage. The osteoclasts adhere to the bone surface and form a tight sealing zone, followed by extensive membrane ruffling on their apical (i.e., resorbing) surface. 15 This creates an enclosed extracellular compartment on the bone surface that is acidified by proton pumps in the ruffled membrane, and into which the osteoclast secretes proteolytic enzymes. The low pH of the compartment dissolves hydroxyapatite crystals at the bone surface, while the proteolytic enzymes digest the protein matrix. In this way, a resorption lacuna, or pit, is formed. At the end of this phase of the cycle, osteoblasts lay down a new 20 protein matrix that is subsequently mineralized. In several disease states, such as osteoporosis and Paget's disease, the normal balance between bone resorption and formation is disrupted, and there is a net loss of bone at each cycle. Ultimately, this leads to weakening of the bone and may result in increased fracture risk with minimal trauma. <br><br> Several published studies have demonstrated that inhibitors of cysteine proteases 25 are effective at inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, and indicate an essential role for a cysteine proteases in bone resorption. For example, Delaisse, et al., Biochem. J., 1980,192, 365, disclose a series of protease inhibitors in a mouse bone organ culture system and suggest that inhibitors of cysteine proteases (e.g., leupeptin, Z-Phe-AIa-CHN2) prevent bone resorption, while serine protease inhibitors were ineffective. Delaisse, et al., 30 Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1984,125,441, disclose that E-64 and leupeptin are also effective at preventing bone resorption in vivo, as measured by acute changes in serum calcium in rats on calcium deficient diets. Lerner, et al., J. Bone Min. Res., 1992, 7,433, disclose that cystatin, an endogenous cysteine protease inhibitor, inhibits PTH stimulated <br><br> 2 <br><br> WO 01/95911 <br><br> PCT/US01/19062 <br><br> bone resorption in mouse calvariae. Other studies, such as by Delaisse, et al, Bone, 1987, 8, 305, Hill, et al., J. Cell. Biochem., 1994, 56, 118, and Everts, et al., J. Cell. Physiol, 1992,150, 221, also report a correlation between inhibition of cysteine protease activity and bone resorption. Tezuka, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1994, 269,1106, Inaoka, et al., 5 Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1995, 206, 89 and Shi, etal., FEBS Lett., 1995, 357, 129 disclose that under normal conditions cathepsin K, a cysteine protease, is abundantly expressed in osteoclasts and may be the major cysteine protease present in these cells. <br><br> The abundant selective expression of cathepsin K in osteoclasts strongly suggests that this enzyme is essential for bone resorption. Thus, selective inhibition of cathepsin K 10 may provide an effective treatment for diseases of excessive bone loss, including, but not limited to, osteoporosis, gingival diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and metabolic bone disease. Cathepsin K levels have also been demonstrated to be elevated in chondroclasts of osteoarthritic synovium. Thus, selective inhibition of cathepsin K may also be useful .for treating diseases of 15 excessive cartilage or matrix degradation, including, but not limited to, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Metastatic neoplastic cells also typically express high levels of proteolytic enzymes that degrade the surrounding matrix. Thus, selective inhibition of cathepsin K may also be useful for treating certain neoplastic diseases. <br><br> Several cysteine protease inhibitors are known. Palmer, (1995) J. Med. Chem., 38, 20 3193, disclose certain vinyl sulfones which irreversibly inhibit cysteine proteases, such as the cathepsins B, L, S, 02 and cruzain. Other classes of compounds, such as aldehydes, nitriles, a-ketocarbonyl compounds, halomethyl ketones, diazomethyl ketones, (acyloxy)methyl ketones, ketomethylsulfonium salts and epoxy succinyl compounds have also been reported to inhibit cysteine proteases. See Palmer, id, and references cited 25 therein. <br><br> U.S. Patent No. 4,518,528 discloses peptidyl fluoromethyl ketones as irreversible inhibitors of cysteine protease. Published International Patent Application No. WO 94/04172, and European Patent Application Nos. EP 0 525 420 Al, EP 0 603 873 Al, and EP 0 611 756 A2 describe alkoxymethyl and mercaptomethyl ketones which inhibit the 30 cysteine proteases cathepsins B, H and L. International Patent Application No. <br><br> PCT/US94/08868 and and European Patent Application No. EP 0 623 592 Al describe alkoxymethyl and mercaptomethyl ketones which inhibit the cysteine protease IL-lpconvertase. Alkoxymethyl and mercaptomethyl ketones have also been described as <br><br> 3 <br><br> WO 01/95911 PCT/USO1/19062 <br><br> inhibitors of the serine protease kininogenase (International Patent Application No. PCT/GB91/01479). <br><br> Azapeptides which are designed to deliver the azaamino acid to the active site of serine proteases, and which possess a good leaving group, are disclosed by Elmore et al., 5 Biochem. J., 1968,107,103, Garker et al., Biochem. J., 1974,139,555, Gray et al., <br><br> Tetrahedron, 1977, 33, 837, Gupton et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1984, 259,4279, Powers et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1984, 259,4288, and are known to inhibit serine proteases. In addition, J. Med. Chem., 1992, 35, 4279, discloses certain azapeptide esters as cysteine protease inhibitors. <br><br> 10 Antipain and leupeptin are described as reversible inhibitors of cysteine protease in <br><br> McConnell et al., /. Med. Chem., 33, 86; and also have been disclosed as inhibitors of serine protease in Umezawa et al., 45 Meth. Enzymol. 678. E64 and its synthetic analogs are also well-known cysteine protease inhibitors (Barrett, Biochem. J., 201, 189, and Grinde, Biochem. Biophys. Acta,, 701, 328). <br><br> 15 1,3-diamido-propanones have been described as analgesic agents in U.S. Patent <br><br> Nos.4,749,792 and 4,638,010. <br><br> Thus, a structurally diverse variety of protease inhibitors have been identified. However, these known inhibitors are not considered suitable for use as therapeutic agents in animals, especially humans, because they suffer from various shortcomings. These <br><br> 20 shortcomings include lack of selectivity, cytotoxicity, poor solubility, and overly rapid plasma clearance. A need therefore exists for methods of treating diseases caused by pathological levels of proteases, particularly cysteine proteases, more particularly cathepsins, most particularly cathepsin K, and for novel inhibitor compounds useful in such methods. <br><br> 25 We have now discovered a novel class of 4-amino-azepan-3-one compounds which are protease inhibitors, most particularly of cathepsin K. <br><br> SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION <br><br> An object of the present invention is to provide 4-amino-azepan-3-one carbonyl 30 protease inhibitors, particularly such inhibitors of cysteine and serine proteases, more particularly such compounds which inhibit cysteine proteases, even more particularly such compounds which inhibit cysteine proteases of the papain superfamily, yet more particularly such compounds which inhibit cysteine proteases of the cathepsin family, most <br><br> 4 <br><br> particularly such compounds which inhibit cathepsin K, and which are useful for treating diseases which may be therapeutically modified by altering the activity of such proteases, or at least to provide the public with a useful choice. <br><br> Accordingly, in the first aspect, this invention provides a compound according to Formula IA, as defined below. <br><br> In another aspect, this invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to Formula IA and a pharmaceutical^ acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient. <br><br> In yet another aspect, this invention provides intermediates useful in the preparation of the compounds of Formula IA. <br><br> Also described herein is a method of treating diseases in which the disease pathology may be therapeutically modified by inhibiting proteases, particularly cysteine and serine proteases, more particularly cysteine proteases, even more particular cysteine proteases of the papain superfamily, yet more particularly cysteine proteases of the cathepsin family, most particularly cathepsin K. <br><br> In a particular aspect, the compounds of this invention are especially useful for treating diseases characterized by bone loss, such as osteoporosis and gingival diseases, <br><br> such as gingivitis and periodontitis, or by excessive cartilage or matrix degradation, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. <br><br> DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <br><br> Described herein are compounds of Formula I: <br><br> H <br><br> z <br><br> R' <br><br> I <br><br> wherein: <br><br> Rl is selected from the group consisting of: <br><br> Intellectual Property Office of NZ <br><br> 26 FEB 2004 <br><br> 5 <br><br> WO 01/95911 <br><br> PCT/US01/19062 <br><br> 10 <br><br> R2 is selected from the group consisting of: H, Ci_galkyl, Cg.gcycloalkyl-CQ. galkyl, Ar-Co-galkyl, Het-C0_6alkyl, R9C(0)-, R9C(S)-, R9S02-, R90C(0)-, <br><br> MO) ,^N <br><br> R^HNQO)-, R9RnNC(S)-, R9(Rl 1)NS02-R6 <br><br> R7^ Y ^ <br><br> R , and R9S02RnNC(0)-;

Certain of the compounds form inner salts or zwitterions which may be acceptable. Cationic salts are prepared by treating the parent compound with an excess of an alkaline reagent, such as a hydroxide, carbonate or alkoxide, containing the appropriate cation; or with an appropriate organic amine. Cations 0 such as Li+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++ and NH4+ are specific examples of cations present in pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Halides, sulfate, phosphate, alkanoates (such as acetate and trifluoroacetate), benzoates, and sulfonates (such as mesylate) are examples of anions present in pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Quaternary ammonium salts are prepared by treating a parent amine compound with an excess of alkyl halide, such as methyl iodide. 5 This invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a . <br><br> compound according to Formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient. Accordingly, the compounds of Formula I may be used in the manufacture of a medicament. Pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds of Formula I prepared as hereinbefore described may be formulated as solutions or lyophilized powders for 0 parenteral administration. Powders may be reconstituted by addition of a suitable diluent or other pharmaceutically acceptable carrier prior to use. The liquid formulation may be a buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution. Examples of suitable diluents are normal isotonic saline solution, standard 5% dextrose in water or buffered sodium or ammonium acetate solution. Such formulation is especially suitable for parenteral administration, but may also ;5 be used for oral administration or contained in a metered dose inhaler or nebulizer for insufflation.

The pharmaceutical preparations are made following the 5 conventional techniques of pharmacy involving milling, mixing, granulating, and compressing, when necessary, for tablet forms; or milling, mixing and filling for hard gelatin capsule forms. When a liquid carrier is used, the preparation will be in the form of a syrup, elixir, emulsion or an aqueous or non-aqueous suspension.

The precise amount of an inventive compound which is therapeutically effective, and the route by which such compound is best administered, is readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art by comparing the blood level of the agent to the concentration required to have a therapeutic effect. <br><br> The compounds of this invention may also be administered orally to the patient, in 25 a manner such that the concentration of drug is sufficient to inhibit bone resorption or to achieve any other therapeutic indication as disclosed herein. Typically, a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound is administered at an oral dose of between about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg in a manner consistent with the condition of the patient. Preferably the oral dose would be about 0.5 to about 20 mg/kg. <br><br> 30 No unacceptable toxicological effects are expected when compounds of the present invention are administered in accordance with the present invention. <br><br> Intellectual Prcoen., Office of NZ <br><br> 26 FEB 2004 RECEIVE <br><br> WO 01/95911 <br><br> PCT/US01/19062 <br><br> Biological Assays <br><br> The compounds of this invention may be tested in one of several biological assays to determine the concentration of compound which is required to have a given pharmacological effect. <br><br> 5 <br><br> Determination of cathepsin K proteolytic catalytic activity <br><br> All assays for cathepsin K were carried out with human recombinant enzyme. Standard assay conditions for the determination of kinetic constants used a fluorogenic peptide substrate, typically Cbz-Phe-Arg-AMC, and were determined in 100 mM Na 10 acetate at pH 5.5 containing 20 mM cysteine and 5 mM EDTA. Stock substrate solutions were prepared at concentrations of 10 or 20 mM in DMSO with 20 uM final substrate concentration in the assays. All assays contained 10% DMSO. Independent experiments found that this level of DMSO had no effect on enzyme activity or kinetic constants. All assays were conducted at ambient temperature. Product fluorescence (excitation at 360 15 nM; emission at 460 nM) was monitored with a Perceptive Biosystems Cytofluor II <br><br> fluorescent plate reader. Product progress curves were generated over 20 to 30 minutes following formation of AMC product. <br><br> Inhibition studies <br><br> 20 Potential inhibitors were evaluated using the progress curve method. Assays were carried out in the presence of variable concentrations of test compound. Reactions were initiated by addition of enzyme to buffered solutions of inhibitor and substrate. Data analysis was conducted according to one of two procedures depending on the appearance of the progress curves in the presence of inhibitors. For those compounds whose progress 25 curves were linear, apparent inhibition constants (KiiQpp) were calculated according to equation 1 (Brandt et al., Biochemitsry, 1989, 28, 140): <br><br> v = VmA / [Ka(l + I/Kit app) +A] (1) <br><br> 30 where v is the velocity of the reaction with maximal velocity Vm , A is the concentration of substrate with Michaelis constant of Ka, and I is the concentration of inhibitor. <br><br> 76 <br><br> WO 01/95911 <br><br> PCT/US01/19062 <br><br> For those compounds whose progress curves showed downward curvature characteristic of time-dependent inhibition, the data from individual sets was analyzed to give kQbs according to equation 2: <br><br> 5 [AMC] = vsst+(vo- vss) [1 - exp (-k0bst)]/k0bs (2) <br><br> where [AMC] is the concentration of product formed over time t, \&gt;o is the initial reaction velocity and is the final steady state rate. Values for k0bs were then analyzed as a linear function of inhibitor concentration to generate an apparent second order rate 10 constant (k0bs I inhibitor concentration or k0bs f [I]) describing the time-dependent inhibition. A complete discussion of this kinetic treatment has been fully described (Morrison et al., Adv. Enzymol. Relat. Areas Mol. Biol., 1988, 61, 201). <br><br> Human Osteoclast Resorption Assay 15 Aliquots of osteoclastoma-derived cell suspensions were removed from liquid nitrogen storage, warmed rapidly at 37°C and washed xl in RPMI-1640 medium by centrifugation (1000 rpm, 5 min at 4°C).

The number of mononuclear cells were enumerated in an improved Neubauer counting chamber. <br><br> Sufficient magnetic beads (5 / mononuclear cell), coated with goat anti-mouse IgG, were remoyed from their stock bottle and placed into 5 mL of fresh medium (this washes 25 away the toxic azide preservative). The medium was removed by immobilizing the beads on a magnet and is replaced with fresh medium. <br><br> The beads were mixed with the cells and the suspension was incubated for 30 min on ice. The suspension was mixed frequently. The bead-coated cells were immobilized on a magnet and the remaining cells (osteoclast-rich fraction) were decanted into a sterile 50 30 mL centrifuge tube. Fresh medium was added to the bead-coated cells to dislodge any trapped osteoclasts. This wash process was repeated xlO. The bead-coated cells were discarded. <br><br> 77 <br><br> WO 01/95911 <br><br> PCT/US01/19062 <br><br> The osteoclasts were enumerated in a counting chamber, using a large-bore disposable plastic pasteur pipette to charge the chamber with the sample. The cells were pelleted by centrifugation and the density of osteoclasts adjusted to 1.5xlO^/mL in EMEM medium, supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and 1.7g/litre of sodium bicarbonate. 3 5 mL aliquots of the cell suspension (per treatment) were decanted into 15 mL centrifuge tubes. These cells were pelleted by centrifugation. To each tube 3 mL of the appropriate treatment was added (diluted to 50 uM in the EMEM medium). Also included were appropriate vehicle controls, a positive control (87MEM1 diluted to 100 ug/mL) and an isotype control (IgG2a diluted to 100 ug/mL). The tubes were incubate at 37°C for 30 min. 10 0.5 mL aliquots of the cells were seeded onto sterile dentine slices in a'48-well plate and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. Each treatment was screened in quadruplicate. The slices were washed in six changes of warm PBS (10 mL / well in a 6-well plate) and then placed into fresh treatment or control and incubated at 37°C for 48 h. The slices were then washed in phosphate buffered saline and fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde (in 0.2M sodium 15 cacodylate) for 5 min., following which they were washed in water and incubated in buffer for 5 min at 37°C. The slices were then washed in cold water and incubated in cold acetate buffer / fast red garnet for 5 min at 4°C. Excess buffer was aspirated, and the slices were air dried following a wash in water. <br><br> The TRAP positive osteoclasts were enumerated by bright-field microscopy and 20 were then removed from the surface of the dentine by sonication.
