WO 92/21360 PCl /US92/03~1)9 :. I . ' - 2 The disability observed in osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is largely due to the loss of articular cartilage. No therapeutic agent in the prior art is known to prevent the attrition of articular cartilage in these diseases.
"Disease modifying antirheumatic drugs" (DMARD), i.e., 5 agents capable of preventing or slowing the ultimate loss of joint function in OA and RA are widely sought. Generic nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAlDs) may be combined with such agents to provide some relief from pain and swelling.
S t r o m e I y s i n (aka. proteoglycanase, matrix metalloproteinase-3, MMP-3, procollagenase activator, "transin"), - c o l l a ~ e n a s e (aka. interstitial collagenase, matrix meta!loproteinase-1), and g~l~i~a~ (aka. type IV collagenase, matrix metalloproteinase-2, MMP-2, 72kDa-gelatinase or type V
collagenase, matrix metalloproteinase-9, MMP-9, 95kDa-ge~latinase) are metalloendoproteinases secreted by fibroblasts and chondrocytes, and are capable of degrading the major connective tissue components of articular cartilage or basement membranes. Elevated levels of both enzymes have been detected in joints of arthritic humans and animals: K.A. Hasty, R.A. Reife, 20 A.H. Kang, J.M. Stuart, "The role of stromelysin in the cartilage destruction that accompanies inflammatory arthritis", Arthr.
Rheum., 33, 388-97 (1990); S.M. Krane, E.P. Amento, M.B. Goldring, S.R. Goldring, and M.L. Stephenson, "Modulation of matrix synthesis and degradation in joint inflammation", The Control of Tissue 25 Damagen, A.B. Glauert (ed.), Elsevier Sci. Publ., Amsterdam, 1988, Ch. 14, pp 179-95; A. Blanckaert, B. Mazieres, Y. Eeckhout, G. Vaes, "Direct extraction and assay of collagenase from human osteoarthrtic cartilage", Clin. Chim. Acta, 185 73-80 (1989).
Each enzyme is secreted from these cells as an inactive 30 proenzyme which is subsequently activated. There is evidence that stromelysin may be the in ~ LQ activator for collagenase, implyin~g a cascade for degradative enzyme activity: A. Ho, H.

That stromelysin inhibition may be effective in preventing articular cartilage degradation has been demonstrated in vitro by measuring the effect of matrix metalloendoproteinase inhibitors on proteoglycan release from rabbit cartilage explants:

Roberts, G. DiPasquale, J. Orthopaedic Res., 6, 103-8 (1988).
There is an extensive literature on the involvement of these metalloproteinases in arthritis, but there is very little to guide one in developing a specific inhibitor for each enzyme.
In preliminary studies of rabbit proteoglycanase with - 15 substrates ~ and inhibitors, little was found to indicate the enzyme's requirements for hydrolysis or inhibition beyond a preference for hydrophobic residues at the P1' position: A. Shaw, R.A. Roberts, D.J. Wolanin, "Small substrates and inhibitors of the metalloproteoglycanase of rabbit articular chondrocytes", Adv.
~` 20 Inflam. Res., 12, 67-79 ~1988). More extensive studies with a series of substrates revealed that stromelysin will tolerate nearly every amino acid residue around the scissile bond: G.B.

Human rheumatoid synovial collagenase has been shown to share ~ 50% homology with human stromelysin: S.E.

potential therapeutic use", J. Enzyme Inhib., 2, 1 -22 ( 1987) . One such inhibitor, N-[3-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-1-carboxy-n-propyl]-L~leucyl-O-methyl-L-tyrosine, N-methylamide, prepared at G.D. Searle, Inc., and shown to be a potent inhibitor of human rheumatoid synovial collagenase (ICso = 0.8 ~M), was also found 5 to inhibit rab~it bone proteoglycanase (ICso = 0.5 ~lM): J.-M.

Commun., 183, 483-90 (1985).
Gelatinase (MR ~ 72,000) has been isolated from rheumatoid fibroblasts: Y. Okada, T. Morodomi, J. J. Enghild, K.
Suzuki, A. Yasui, I. Nakanishi, G. Salvesen, H. Nagase, "Matrix metalloproteinase 2 from human rheumatoid synovial ~ibroblasts", Eur. J., Biochem., 194, 721-~0 (1990). The synthesis 15 of the proenzyme is not coordinately regulated with the other two metalloproteinases and its activation may also be different. The role of geiatinase in the tissue destruction of articular cartilage appears different from the other two enzymes and, therefore, its inhibition may provide additional protection ~rom degradation. A
20 higher molecular weight gelatinase (MR ~~5,000; aka. type-V
collagenase, matrix metalloproteinase-9, MMP-9) is also secreted by ~ibroblasts and monocytes and may be involved in cartilage degradation.
As appreciated by those of skili in the art, the 25 significant proportion of homology between human` fibroblast collagenase, stromelysin, and geiatinase leads to the possibility that a compound that inhibits one enzyme may to some degree inhibit all of them.

The applicants believe that stromelysin and collagenase inhibitors have utility in preventing articular cartilage damage associated with septic arthritis. Bacterial infections of the joints can elicit an inflammatory response that may then be perpetuated beyond what is needed for removal of the infective agent resulting in permanent damage to structural components.

Secreted proteinases such as stromelysin, collagenase, and gelatinase play an important role in processes involved in the movement of cells during metastasic tumor invasion. Indeed, there is also evidence that the matrix metalloproteinases are overexpressed in certain metastatic tumor cell lines. In this context, the enzyme functions to 0 penetrate underlying basement membranes and allow the tumor cell to escape from the site of primary tumor formation and enter circulation. - After adhering to blood vessel walls, the tumor cells use these same metalloendoproteinases to pierce underlying basement membranes and penetrate other tissues, thereby leading 15 to tumor metastasis. Inhibition of this process would prevent -` metastasis and improve the efficacy of current treatments with chemotherapeutics and/or radiation.
These inhibitors should also be useful for controlling periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis. Both collagenase and 20 stromelysin activities have been isolated~ from fibroblasts isolated from inflammed gingiva: V.J. Uitto, R. Applegren, P.J.

Treatment of alkali-burned eyes or eyes exhibiting corneal ulceration as a result of infection with inhibitors of these metalloendoproteinases in combination with sodium citrate or sodium ascorbate and/or antimicrobials may be effective in preventing developing corneal degradation.
Stromelysin has been implicated in the degradation of structural components of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) of the kidney, the major function of which is to restrict passage of plasma proteins into the urine; W.H. Baricos, G. Murphy, Y. Zhou, H.H. Nguyen, S.V. Shah, "Degradation of glomerular basement membrane by purified mammalian meta!loproteinasesn, Biochem. J., 254, 609-612 ~1988). Proteinuria, a result of glomerular disease, is excess protein in the urine caused by increased permeability of the GBM to plasma proteins. The underlying causes of this increased GBM permeability are unknown, but proteinases including stromelysin may play an important role in glomerular diseases. Inhibition of this enzyme may alleviate the proteinura associated with kidney malfunction.
It is suggested that inhibition of stromelysir. activity may prevent the rupturing of atherosclerotic plaques leading to coronary thrombosis. The tearing or rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is the most common event initiating coronary thrombosis.
Destabilization and degradation of the connective tissue matrix surrounding these plaques by proteolytic enzymes or cytokines released by infiltrating inflammatory cells has been proposed as a cause of plaque fissuring. Such tearing ot these plaques can cause an acute thrombolytic event as blood rapidly flows out of the blood vessel. High levels of stromelysin RNA message have been fqund to be localized to individual cells in atherosclerotic plaques removed from heart transplant patients at the time of surgery: A. M. Henney, P. R. Wakeley, M. J. Davies, K. Foster, R.
Hembry, G. Murphy, S. Humphries, "Localization of stromelysin gene expression in atherosclerotic plaques by in situ hybridization", Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA, 88, 8154 8158 SUBS~TUT~ Sl IEE~

: ~ `

WO 92/21360 PCl/US92/03809 . . ,, , . (,j I ., (1991). Inhibition of stromelysin by these compounds may aid in preventing or delaying the degradation of the connective tissue matrix that stabilizes the atherosclerotic plaques, thereby preventing events leading to acute coronary thrombosis.
It is also believed that specific inhibitors of 5 stromelysin and collagenase should be useful as birth control agents. There is evidence that expression of metalloendoproteinases, including stromelysin and collagenase, is observed in unfertilized eggs and zygotes and at further cleavage stages and increased at the blastocyst stage of fetal development and with endoderm differentiation: C.A. Brenner, R.R.
- Adler, D.A. Rappolee, R.A. Pedersen, Z. Werb, "Genes for extracellular matrix-degrading metalloproteinases and their inhibitor, TIMP, are expressed during early mammalian development", Genes 8~ Develop., 3, 848-59 (1989). By;analogy to tumor invasion, a blastocyst may express metalloproteinases in order to penetrate the extracellular matrix of the uterine wall dari;n g implantation. Inhibition of stromelysin and collagenase during these early developmental processes should presumably prevent normal embryonic development and/or implantation in the 20 uterus. Such intervention would constitute a novel method of ; birth control. In addition there is evidence that collagenase is important in ovulation processes. In this example, a covering of coilagen over the apical region of the follicle must be penetrated in order for the ovum to escape. Collagenase has been detected 25 during this process and an inhibitor has been shown to be effective in preventing ovulation: J.F. Woessner, N. Morioka, C.
Zhu, T. Mukaida, T. Butler, W.J. LeMaire "Connective tissue breakdown in ovulationn, Steroids, 54, 491-499 (1989). There may also be a role for stromelysin activity during ovuiation: C.K.L.

The reaction is conveniently conducted in a mixture of pyridine and 5 acetic acid with slow addition of sodium cyanoborohydride. The diastereomers of C are conveniently separated by column chromatography or HPLC. Reaction of diester C with hydrochloric acid followed by condensation with a substituted amino acid - derivative [AA]-X results in Compound D. This reaction sequence advantageously employs the use of condensing agents such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DDC) or water-soluble carbodiimide (N-ethyl-N'-(3-diethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide; EDC). This reaction is also assisted by the formation of active ester `intermediates such as those derived from 1-~-~ 15 hydroxybenzotriazole, 4-nitrophenol, or 4-picolyl alcohol.

The 5 aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.
` - Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame Pil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin.~ The oiiy suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard~paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may ~be preserved by the addition ~of an anti-oxidant such as ` ~ ascorbic acid.
Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives.
Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring 25 agents, may also be present.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a ' mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of ~hese.

Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or 5 . sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be tormulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in ~ a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. Arnong the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In ~ addition, sterile, fixed oi!s are conventionally employed as a - soivent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed 20 including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
The compou~nds of formula (I) may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared 25 by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.
For topical use, crearns, ointments, jellies, solutions 30 Qr suspensions, etc., containing the compounds of Formula (I) are employed.
