Definitions
- the invention relates to 4-cycloalkyl-pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile derivatives, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, as well as to the use of these derivatives for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of cathepsin K related diseases such as osteoporosis and atherosclerosis.
- Cysteine proteases represent a class of peptidases characterised by the presence of a cysteine residue in the catalytic site of the enzyme, and these proteases are associated with the normal degradation and processing of proteins. Many pathological disorders or diseases are the results of abnormal activity of cysteine proteases such as over expression or enhanced activation.
- the cysteine cathepsins e.g. cathepsin B, K, L, S 1 V, F, are a class of lysosomal enzymes which are implicated in various disorders including inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, tumors, coronary disease, atherosclerosis, autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases.
- Cathepsin K has strong collagenolytic, elastase and gelatinase activities (Bromme et al., J. Biol, Chem, 271, 2126-2132, 1996) and is predominantly expressed in osteoclasts (Bromme and Okamoto, Biol. Chem. Hopp-Seyler, 376, 379-384, 1995). It cleaves key bone matrix proteins, including collagen type I and Il (Kaffienah et al., Biochem. J. 331., 727-732, 1998), gelatine, osteopontin and osteonectin, and as such is involved in extracellular matrix metabolism necessary for normal bone growth and remodelling (Bossard et al., J. Biol. Chem.
- Cathepsin K inhibitors may therefore represent new therapeutic agents for the treatment of disease states in man such as osteoporosis.
- Inhibition of cathepsins K and/or S at sites of plaques prone to rupture may thus represent an effective way of preventing such events.
- 4-Amino-pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile derivatives have been disclosed as inhibitors of cathepsins K in the International Patent Application WO 03/020278 (Novartis Pharma GMBH) and WO04/020441 (Novartis Pharma GMBH), while structurally related 4- amino-pyrimidine-2 carbonitrile derivatives were recently disclosed in WO04/000819 (ASTRAZENECA AB) as Cathepsin S inhibitors.
