CANCER

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

Related Art

This invention relates to compounds that bind to the human protein HDM2 and interfere with its interaction with other proteins, especially the tumor suppressor protein p53. HDM2 is the expression product of hdm2, an oncogene that is overexpressed in a variety of cancers, especially soft tissue sarcomas (Momand, J., et al, Nucl. Acids Res. 26:3453-3459 (1998)). p53 is a transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the balance between cell proliferation and cell growth arrest/apoptosis. Under normal conditions, the half-life of p53 is very short, and consequently the level of p53 in cells is low. However, in response to cellular DNA damage, cellular stress, or other factors, levels of p53 increase. This increase in p53 levels in turn increases the transcription of a number of genes which induces the cell to either arrest growth or undergo apoptosis (i.e., controlled cell death). The function of p53 is to prevent the uncontrolled proliferation of cells and thus protect the organism from the development of cancer (for a review, see Levine, A.J., Cell SS:323-331 (1997)). p53 is a latent and short-lived transcription factor which is induced by, and is an integration point for, a range of cellular stresses including DNA damage, UN damage, spindle damage, hypoxia, inflammatory cytokines, viral infection, activated oncogenes, and ribonucleotide depletion. Activation of p53 mediates a change in the balance of gene expression such that expression of many genes involved in proliferation is repressed while a range of genes involved in growth arrest (such as p21WAFl and GADD45), repair (such as p53RE) and apoptosis (such as Bax, Killer/DR5 and PIGs) is activated. The biological outcome of p53 activation (whether permanent or transient growth arrest or apoptosis) is dependent on several factors including the type and strength of the inducing stress, and the type of cell or tissue. p53 and MDM2 exist in a negative regulatory feedback loop in which p53 stimulates transcription of the mdm2 gene while MDM2 binds to p53 and targets it for degradation by the 26S proteosome. The key element in the p53 induction process is disruption of the p53-MDM2 complex which permits p53 to accumulate in the nucleus. This mechanism appears to be common to all of the pathways by which p53 becomes activated, although recent evidence has indicated that there is considerable variation in the molecular events by which this is actually achieved. Inactivation of the p53 tumor suppressor is a frequent event in human neoplasia. The inactivation can occur by mutation of the p53 gene or through binding to viral or cellular oncogene proteins, such as the SN40 large T antigen and MDM2. While the mechanism through which wild-type p53 suppresses tumor cell growth is as yet poorly defined, it is clear that one key feature of the growth suppression is the property of p53 to act as a transcription factor (Farmer, G., et al, Nature 358: 83-86 (1992); Funk, W. D. et al, Mol. Cell. Biol. 12: 2866- 2871 (1992); Kern, S. E., et al, Science 256:827-830 (1992)). Currently, considerable effort is being made to identify growth control genes that are regulated by p53 binding to sequence elements near or within these genes. A number of such genes have been identified. In cases such as the muscle creatine kinase gene (Weintraub, H., et al, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 55:4570-4571 (1991); Zambetti, G. P., et al, Genes Dev. 6:1143-1152 (1992)) and a GLN retroviral element (Zauberman, A., et al, EMBO J. 72:2799-2808 (1993)), the role these genes might play in the suppression of growth control is unclear. Yet there are other examples, namely mdm2 (Barak, Y., et al. EMBO J. 72:461-468 (1993); Wu, X., et al, Genes

Dev. 7:1126-1132(1993)) GADD 45 (Kastan, M. B., et al, Cell 77:587- 597(1992)) and WAF1 or CTP1 (El-Beiry, W. S., et al, Cell 75:817-825 (1993); Harper, J. W., et al, Cell 75:805-816 (1993)), where their involvement in the regulation of cell growth is better understood. mdm2, a known oncogene, was originally found on mouse double minute chromosomes (Cahilly-Snyder., L., et al, Somatic Cell Mol Genet. 73:235-244 (1987)). Its protein product was subsequently found to form a complex with p53, which was first observed in a rat fibroblast cell line (Clone 6) previously transfected with a temperature sensitive mouse p53 gene (Michalovitz, D., et al, Cell 62:671-680 (1990)). The rat cell line grew well at 37°C but exhibited a Gl arrest when shifted down to 32°C, which was entirely consistent with an observed temperature dependent switch in p53 conformation and activity. However, the p53-MDM2 complex was only observed in abundance at 32°C, at which temperature p53 was predominantly in a functional or "wild-type" form (Barak, Y. et al, EMBO J. 77:2115-2121

(1992) and Momand, J., et al, Cell 69:1231-1245 (1992)). By shifting the rat cell line down to 32°C and blocking de novo protein synthesis it was shown that only "wild-type" p53 induced expression of the mdm2 gene, thereby accounting for the differential abundance of the complex in terms of p53 transcriptional activity (Barak, Y., et al, EMBO J. 72:461-468 (1993)). The explanation was further developed by the identification of a DNA binding site for wild-type p53 within the first intron of the mdm2 gene (Wu, X., et al, Genes Dev. 7:1126-1132 (1993)). Reporter constructs employing this p53 DNA binding site revealed that they were inactivated when wild-type p53 was co-expressed with MDM2. This inhibition of the transcriptional activity of p53 may be caused by MDM2 blocking the activation domain of p53 and/or the DNA binding site. Consequently, it was proposed that mdm2 expression is autoregulated, via the inhibitory effect of MDM2 protein on the transcriptional activity of wild-type p53. This p53-mdm2 autoregulatory feedback loop provided a novel insight as to how cell growth might be regulated by p53. Up to a third of human sarcomas are considered to overcome p53-regulated growth control by amplification of the hdm2 gene (the human homologue of mdm2) (Oliner, J.D., et al, Nature 35S:80-83 (1992)). Hence, the interaction between p53 and HDM2 represents a key potential therapeutic target. One mechanism by which MDM2 can promote tumorogenesis is by its inhibitory action on p53. The tumor suppressor functions of p53 control a pivotal checkpoint in the control of cell cycling (reviewed in Levine, A.J., Cell 88:323- 331 (1997)). p53 is a transcription factor for a number of proteins that cause cell cycle arrest or cell death by apoptosis. The level and transcriptional activity of p53 are increased by damage to cellular DNA. The MDM2 protein inhibits p53 function by binding to an amphipathic N-terminal helix of p53, abrogating the interaction of p53 with other proteins and its transactivation activity. The interaction with MDM2 also targets p53 for ubiquitin dependent protein degradation. MDM2 exhibits p53 independent effects on cell cycling as well, possibly by direct interaction with some of the downstream effectors such as pRB and EF2 (Reviewed in Zhang, R. and Wang, H., Cur. Pharm. Des. 6:393- 416 (2000)).

Blocking HDM2 from binding p53 would be therapeutically useful in restoring cell cycle control to cells that overexpress HDM2 as a front line cancer treatment. More generally, inhibition of HDM2 may increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation in p53 normal cancers by enhancing apoptosis and growth arrest signaling pathways.

A need continues to exist for potent, small molecules that inhibit the interactions between HDM2 and p53. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A novel class of small molecules that bind to HDM2 and/or MDM2 has now been discovered. By interfering with HDM2-p53. or MDM2-p53 interactions, these compounds increase the intracellular concentration of p53. These small molecules, therefore, have therapeutic utility in sensitizing tumor cells for chemotherapy. In tumor types particularly sensitive to an increase in functional p53, compounds of this type will be sufficient to induce apoptosis. Compounds of the present invention are also useful in treating tumor types in which HDM2 or MDM2 is overexpressed.

The invention disclosed herein is also meant to encompass the in vivo metabolic products of the disclosed compounds. Such products may result for example from the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification and the like of the administered compound, primarily due to enzymatic processes. Accordingly, the invention includes compounds produced by a process comprising contacting a compound of this invention with a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof. Such products typically are identified by preparing a radiolabeled compound of the invention, administering it parenterally in a detectable dose to an animal such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to man, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur and isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood or other biological samples. Some of the compounds disclosed herein may contain one or more asymmetric centers and thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms. The present invention is also meant to encompass all such possible forms as well as their racemic and resolved forms and mixtures thereof. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended to include both E and Z geometric isomers. All tautomers are intended to be encompassed by the present invention as well.

As used herein, the term "stereoisomers" is a general term for all isomers of individual molecules that differ only in the orientation of their atoms in space. It includes enantiomers and isomers of compounds with more than one chiral center that are not mirror images of one another

(diastereomers).

The term "chiral center" refers to a carbon atom to which four different groups are attached, or a sulfur atom to which three different groups are attached, where the sulfur atom and its attached groups form a sulfoxide, sulfinic ester, sulfonium salt or sulfite.

The term "enantiomer" or "enantiomeric" refers to a molecule that is nonsuperimposable on its mirror image and hence optically active wherein the enantiomer rotates the plane of polarized light in one direction and its mirror image rotates the plane of polarized light in the opposite direction.

The term "racemic" refers to a mixture of equal parts of enantiomers and which is optically inactive.

The term "resolution" refers to the separation or concentration or depletion of one of the two enantiomeric forms of a molecule. The phrase

"enantiomeric excess" refers to a mixture wherein one enantiomer is present is a greater concentration than its mirror image molecule.

The compounds of Formula / may also be solvated, especially hydrated. Hydration may occur during manufacturing of the compounds or compositions comprising the compounds, or the hydration may occur over time due to the hygroscopic nature of the compounds. Certain compounds within the scope of Formula J are derivatives referred to as "prodrugs." The expression "prodrug" denotes a derivative of a known direct acting drug, which derivative has enhanced delivery characteristics and therapeutic value as compared to the drug, and is transformed into the active drug by an enzymatic or chemical process.

Prodrugs are derivatives of the compounds of the invention which have metabolically cleavable groups and become by solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds of the invention which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. For example, ester derivatives of compounds of this invention are often active in vivo, but not in vitro. Other derivatives of the compounds of this invention have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but the acid derivative form often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with an amine. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters derived from acidic groups pendent on the compounds of this invention are preferred prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy) alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkyl esters. Useful prodrugs are those where R^b is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or arylalkyl.

When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent or in Formula /, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

Compositions and Methods of Use

Compositions of the present invention include pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula /, wherein R'-R¹⁰ are defined above, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

Preferred compositions of the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound selected from a preferred group of compounds of Formula J as defined above, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be administered to any animal that can experience the beneficial effects of the compounds of the invention. Foremost among such animals are humans, although the invention is not intended to be so limited. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered by any means that achieve their intended purpose. For example, administration can be by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, buccal, or ocular routes, rectally, parenterally, intrasystemically, intravaginally, topically (as by powders, ointments, drops or transdermal patch), or as an oral or nasal spray. Alternatively, or concurrently, administration can be by the oral route. The dosage administered will be dependent upon the age, health, and weight of the recipient, kind of concurrent treatment, if any, frequency of treatment, and the nature of the effect desired. In addition to the pharmacologically active compounds, the new pharmaceutical preparations can contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries that facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically.

The pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention are manufactured in a manner that is, itself, known, for example, by means of conventional mixing, granulating, dragee-making, dissolving, or lyophilizing processes. Thus, pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by combining the active compounds with solid excipients, optionally grinding the resulting mixture and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired or necessary, to obtain tablets or dragee cores.

Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as saccharides, for example, lactose or sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol, cellulose preparations and/or calcium phosphates, for example, tricalcium phosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, as well as binders, such as, starch paste, using, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone. If desired, disintegrating agents can be added, such as, the above-mentioned starches and also carboxymethyl-starch, cross- linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as, sodium alginate. Auxiliaries are, above all, flow-regulating agents and lubricants, for example, silica, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as, magnesium stearate or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycol. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings that, if desired, are resistant to gastric juices. For this purpose, concentrated saccharide solutions can be used, which can contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. In order to produce coatings resistant to gastric juices, solutions of suitable cellulose preparations, such as, acetylcellulose phthalate or hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose phthalate, are used. Dye stuffs or pigments can be added to the tablets or dragee coatings, for example, for identification or in order to characterize combinations of active compound doses.

Other pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as, glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active compounds in the form of granules that may be mixed with fillers such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds are preferably dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as, fatty oils or liquid paraffin. In addition, stabilizers may be added.

Suitable formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form, for example, water- soluble salts, alkaline solutions and cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. Especially preferred alkaline salts are ammonium salts prepared, for example, with Tris, choline hydroxide, Bis-Tris propane, N-methylglucamine, or arginine. One or more modified or unmodified cyclodextrins can be employed to stabilize and increase the water solubility of compounds of the present invention. Useful cyclodextrins for this purpose are disclosed in U.S. Patent Νos. 4,727,064, 4,764,604, and 5,024,998.

In addition, suspensions of the active compounds as appropriate oily injection suspensions can be administered. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils, for example, sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, for example, ethyl oleate or triglycerides or polyethylene glycol-400 (the compounds are soluble in PEG-400). Aqueous injection suspensions can contain substances that increase the viscosity of the suspension, for example, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, and/or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain stabilizers. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof. Topical administration includes administration to the skin or mucosa, including surfaces of the lung and eye. Compositions for topical administration, including those for inhalation, may be prepared as a dry powder which may be pressurized or non-pressurized. In nonpressurized powder compositions, the active ingredients in finely divided form may be used in admixture with a larger-sized pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier comprising particles having a size, for example, of up to 100 micrometers in diameter. Suitable inert carriers include sugars such as lactose. Desirably, at least 95% by weight of the particles of the active ingredient have an effective particle size in the range of 0.01 to 10 micrometers. Alternatively, the composition may be pressurized and contain a compressed gas, such as nitrogen or a liquefied gas propellant. The liquefied propellant medium and indeed the total composition are preferably such that the active ingredients do not dissolve therein to any substantial extent. The pressurized composition may also contain a surface-active agent. The surface- active agent may be a liquid or solid non-ionic surface-active agent or may be a solid anionic surface-active agent. It is preferred to use the solid anionic surface-active agent in the form of a sodium salt.

A further form of topical administration is to the eye. The compounds and compositions of the present invention are delivered in a pharmaceutically acceptable ophthalmic vehicle, such that the compounds are maintained in contact with the ocular surface for a sufficient time period to allow the compounds to penetrate the corneal and internal regions of the eye, as for example the anterior chamber, posterior chamber, vitreous body, aqueous humor, vitreous humor, cornea, iris/ciliary, lens, choroid/retina and sclera. The pharmaceutically acceptable ophthalmic vehicle may, for example, be an ointment, vegetable oil or an encapsulating material.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of the present invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the drugs.

The compositions of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to the compounds of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and the phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic. Methods to form liposomes are known in the art (see, for example, Prescott, Ed., Meth. Cell Biol. 14:33 (1976)).

EXAMPLES

The compounds in the examples below were synthesized by the following general procedures.

General procedure for the synthesis of non-commercially available anthranilic acids

A solution of the appropriate aniline (50.0 mmol) in acetic acid (30.0 mL) was heated to 45° C. Bromine (55.5 mmol, 2.8 mL) was then added dropwise at a rate to keep the temperature between 50-55° C. The temperature was held at 50° C for 1.5 h. The reaction was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and was poured into ice with stirring. Sodium bisulfite (1.0 g) was added and stirred for 30 min. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 50.0 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a dark oil. The oil was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 5-10 % ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give the aryl bromide as a light brown oil.

A solution of the aryl bromide (12.0 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8.0 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature. Copper cyanide (15.0 mmol, 1.3 g) was added and the reaction was heated to 155° C for 4 h. The reaction was allowed to cool and poured into a solution of ethylene diamine (0J mL) in water (130.0 mL) and stirred for 30 min. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 70.0 mL). The organic extracts were combined and washed with saturated ammonium chloride and brine, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was then purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 10 % ethyl acetate in hexane) to give the aryl cyanide as a orange oil.

To a solution of the aryl cyanide (1.5 mmol) in acetic acid (2.0 mL) was added 50 % sulfuric acid (6.0 mL), The reaction was heated to reflux for 2.5 h. The reaction was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and poured into ice (50.0 g). The solution was neutralized with potassium hydroxide (6M) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 40.0 mL). The combined organics were washed with brine and dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and dried in vacuo to a solid. The solid was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 15 % ethyl acetate in methylene chloride to 8 % methanol in methylene chloride) to give the anthranilic acid as a white solid.

To a solution of the anthranilic acid (4.2 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20.0 mL) and 10 % sodium hydroxide (5.0 mL) was added di-tertbutyl-dicarbonate (12.0 mmol). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 days. The reaction was then concentrated in vacuo and poured into water (25.0 mL) and ethyl acetate (50.0 mL). It was then acidified with cold 10 % citric acid. The organic layers were washed with brine and dried with sodium sulfate and filtered. The organics were concentrated in vacuo to a solid and triturated with hexane. The solids were filtered, and washed with hexane and dried under high vacuum to give the title compound as a white solid. General procedure for the synthesis of benzodiazepine compounds

A solution of the aldehyde (0.20 mmol) and amino ester (0.20 mol) in methanol (2.0 mL) were shaken at ambient temperature for 30 min. To this solution was added a solution of cyclohexene-1-isonitrile (0.21 mmol) in hexanes, followed by the anthranilic acid (0.20 mmol). The solution was then shaken for 3 days at ambient temperature. The reaction was cooled in a ice bath and acetyl chloride (0.2 mL) was added slowly. The solution was then shaken for an additional 3 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified using pre-packed silica cartridges (methylene chloride to 10 % ethyl acetate in methylene chloride). The pure ester was then concentrated back down in vacuo, dissolved in methanol (1.5 mL), and 10% sodium hydroxide (0J5 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was shaken overnight at ambient temperature. The solution was then concentrated in vacuo and acidified with hydrochloric acid (IM). The precipitates were extracted with ethyl acetate, separated and the organics were concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified using pre-packed silica cartridges (8 % ethyl acetate in methylene chloride to 10 % methanol in methylene chloride) to give the title compounds (0.015-0.050 g).

General procedure for the alkylation of benzodiazepine compounds

To a solution of the benzodiazepine (0J mmol) and alcohol (0.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL) was added triphenylphosphine (0.2 mmol, 0.052 g) in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL). The solution was shaken 5 minutes then diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (0.2 mmol, 0.040 mL) was added, and the mixture was shaken at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative plate chromatography (silica gel, 20% ethyl acetate in methylene chloride, bottom band). The isolated ester was dissolved in methanol (1 mL) and sodium hydroxide (IM, 0.2 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was shaken at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo, water (0.5 mL) was added, followed by acidification with hydrochloric acid (IM, 0.3 mL). The resulting precipitate was extracted with ethyl acetate (1 mL) and separated. The organics were dried in vacuo and the residues purified using a preparative plate chromatography (silica gel, 8 % methanol in methylene chloride, bottom band) to give the title compounds (0.012-0.030 g).

The solvent was removed under reduced pressure then the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with IM NaOH then the aqueous phase was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The mono- and di-reduced products were separated by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give the title compound.

2) The benzodiazepine acid (0.023 mmol) was placed in a 4 mL vial equipped with a magnetic stir bar. The vial was fitted with a rubber septum then evacuated and backflushed with N₂. Dry THF (1 mL) and borane- dimethylsulfide (4 eq., 0.093 mmol, 46 μL of 2M THF solution) were successively added via syringe and microsyringe, respectively.

The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for an additional

4 hours then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography using a 5 g silica gel SEP-pak column, eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane. The amide reduction products were further separated by preparative TLC on a 1000 micron silica gel plate, developed with 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give the title compound.

General procedure for the preparation of 1,4-benzodiazepine amides

The 1,4-benzodiazepine carboxylic acid (0.057 mmol) and EDC (1.5 eq., 0.086 mmol, 16.5 mg) were placed in a 4 mL vial equipped with a magnetic stir bar. The vial was fitted with a rubber septum, then evacuated and backflushed with dry N₂. Dry dichloromethane (2 mL) was added via syringe. Once the solids dissolved, the amine (1.5 eq, 0.086 mmol) and triethylamine

Fluorescent peptide assay

The inhibition of MDM2 binding to p53 was measured using a p53 peptide analogue binding to MDM2 residues 17-125. The published crystal structure of this complex (Kussie et al, Science 274:948-953 (1996)) validates this fragment as containing the p53 binding site, and we have solved the x-ray structure of the p53 peptide analogue MPRFMDY EGLN, described to be a peptide inhibitor of the MDM2 p53 interaction (Bottger et al, J. Mol Biol. 269:744-756 (1997)). The assay uses N terminal fluorescein RFMDYWEGL peptide (FI 9mer).

The mdm2 17-125 was produced as a glutathione S transferase fusion as follows: cDNA encoding residues 17-125 were cloned into pGEX4t-3 (Pharmacia) as follows. PCR was performed using ATCC item number 384988 containing partial human mdm2 sequence as template and the following primers: Forward: 5'-CTC TCT CGG ATC CCA GAT TCC AGC TTC GGA ACA AGA G; Reverse: 5'-TAT ATA TCT CGA GTC AGT TCT CAC TCA CAG ATG TAG CTG AG. The PCR product was then digested with BamHI and Xhol (sequence recognition sites underlined in primers), gel purified, and ligated into pGEX4t-3 which had also been digested with BamHI and Xhol. Plasmids were transfected into E. coli X90 strain, grown to an OD of 1.0 in TB 0.2% glucose 100 μg/mL ampicillin and induced with 1 mM

IPTG. Cells were harvested 5 hours post induction, centrifuged, and resuspended in PBS 10 mL/g cell paste. Cells were lysed in an Avestin microfluidizer, centrifuged, and the supernatant bound to a glutathione sepharose 4B resin (Pharmacia). The resin was washed with PBS and the MDM2 17-125 cleaved from the GST by the addition of 2 μg mL thrombin

(Enzyme Research Labs). The cleaved MDM2 was further purified on Sepharose SP Fast Flow resin (Pharmacia), eluting with 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5 150 mM NaCl. Glutathione was added to 5 mM, and the protein stored at -70°C. Test compound was incubated for 15 minutes with 30 nM fluorescein peptide FI 9mer and 120 nM MDM2 17-125 in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM octyl glucoside. The polarization of the fluorescein label was thereafter measured by excitation at 485 nm and emission at 530 nm. Polarization was expressed as a percent of a no compound control, using buffer with FI 9mer but without MDM2 as background.

Compounds of the present invention inhibited the binding of p53 to MDM2. The potency of the compounds was measured as IC₅₀, which is a measure of the concentration of the test compound required to inhibit 50% binding between MDM2 and p53. The IC₅₀ values for compounds of the present invention ranged from 0J μM to >100 μM. Table 1 provides representative data for compounds of the invention. Table 1. Inhibition of MDM2 binding to p53
