Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to heterocycleketohydrazide protease inhibitors, 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 cysteine proteases are implicated, especially diseases of excessive bone or cartilage loss, e.g., osteoporosis, periodontitis, and arthritis.
  • Bone is composed of a protein matrix in which spindle- or plate-shaped crystals of hydroxy apatite are incorporated.
  • Type I Collagen represents the major structural protein of bone comprising approximately 90% of the structural protein. 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 remodeling at discrete foci throughout life. These foci, or remodeling units, undergo a cycle consisting of a bone resorption phase followed by a phase of bone replacement.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • osteoblasts lay down a new protein matrix that is subsequently mineralized.
  • 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.
  • this leads to weakening of the bone and may result in increased fracture risk with minimal trauma.
  • inhibitors of cysteine proteases 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.

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,
  • cathepsin K which has also been called cathepsin O
  • cathepsin O a cysteine protease
  • the abundant selective expression of cathepsin K in osteoclasts strongly suggests that this enzyme is essential for bone resorption.
  • selective inhibition of cathepsin K may provide an effective treatment for diseases of excessive bone loss, including, but not limited to, osteoporosis, 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.
  • selective inhibition of cathepsin K may also be useful for treating diseases of 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.
  • selective inhibition of cathepsin K may also be useful for treating certain neoplastic diseases. Palmer, et al., J. Med.
  • Chem., 1995, 38, 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.
  • the synthesis of azatides (polyacylhydrazides) as peptide mimetics has recently been disclosed by Han and Janda, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 2539.
  • N-phenyl-N'-(2-phenyloxazol-4-ylcarbonyl)hydrazide as well as its N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) derivative, have been described in Afridi, A., et al., J. Chem. Soc, Perkin Trans. 1, 1976, 3, 315-20.
