Description
CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS
Field of the Invention This invention relates to novel bicyclic compounds which inhibit platelet 5 aggregation, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and methods of using the compounds.
Background of the Invention Platelet aggregation is believed to be mediated primarily through the 10 fibrinogen receptor, or GPIIb-IIIa platelet receptor complex, which is a member of a family of adhesion receptors referred to as integrins. It has been found that frequently the natural ligands of integrin receptors are proteins which contain an Arg-Gly-Asp sequence (RGD in single letter amino acid code). Von Willebrand factor and fibrinogen, which are considered to be natural ligands for the GPIIb-IIIa 15 receptor, possess an RGD sequence in their primary structure. Functionally, these proteins are able to bind and crosslink GPIIb-IIIa receptors on adjacent platelets and thereby effect aggregation of platelets.
Fibronectin, vitronectin and thrombospondin are RGD-containing proteins which have also been demonstrated to bind to GPIIb-IIIa. Fibronectin is found in20 plasma and as a structural protein in the intracellular matrix. Binding between the structural proteins and GPIIb-IIIa may function to cause platelets to adhere to damaged vessel walls.
Linear and cyclic peptides which bind to vitronectin and contain an RGD
sequence are disclosed in WO 89/05150 (PCT US88/04403). EP 0 275 748 25 discloses linear tetra- to hexapeptides and cyclic hexa- to octapeptides which bind to the GPIIb-IIIa receptor and inhibit platelet aggregation. Other linear and cyclic peptides, the disclosure of which are incorporated herein by reference, are reported in EP-A 0 341 915. However, the peptide like structures of such inhibitors oftenpose problems, such as in drug delivery, metabolic stability and selectivity.
30 Inhibitors of the fibrinogen receptor which are not constructed of natural amino acid sequences are disclosed in EP-A 0 372,486, EP-A 0 381 033 and EP-A 0 478 363.
WO 92/07568 (PCT/~US91/08166) discloses fibrinogen receptor antagonists which mimic a conformational ~-turn in the RGD sequence by forming a monocyclic seven-membered ring structure. There remains a need, however, for novel 35 fibrinogen receptor antagonists (e.g. inhibitors of the GPIIb-IIIa protein) which have potent in vivo and in vitro effects and lack the peptide backbone structure of amino acid sequences.
212~169 The present invention discloses novel bicyclic compounds, including ben7imi~1a7.oles. These compounds inhibit binding to the GPIIb-IIIa receptor andinhibit platelet aggregation.
S Summary of the Invention In one aspect this invention is a bicyclic compound comprising a substituted six-membered ring fused to a substituted five-membered ring as described hereinafter in formula (I).
This invention is also a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting platelet aggregation or clot formation, which comprises a compound of formula (I) and a pharm~ceutically acceptable carrier.
This invention is further a method for inhibiting platelet aggregation in a m~mm~l in need thereof, which comprises internally ~dmini~tering an effective amount of a compound of formula (I).
In another aspect, this invention provides a method for inhibiting reocclusion of an artery or vein in a m~mm:~l following fibrinolytic therapy, which comprises internally a(lminictering an effective amount of a fibrinolytic agent and a compound of formula (I). This invention is also a method for treating stroke, transient ischemia attacks, myocardial infarction, or atherosclerosis.
Detailed Description of the Invention This invention discloses novel bicyclic compounds which inhibit platelet aggregation. The novel bicyclic compounds comprise a five-membered ring fused to an aromatic six membered ring and having a nitrogen-cont~ining substituent onthe six membered ring and an aliphatic substituent, preferably containing an acidic moiety, on the five membered ring. The five membered ring may contain heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, and the six membered ring may be carbocyclic or contain up to two nitrogen atoms. The fused 6-5 ring system isbelieved to interact favorably with the GPIIb-IIIa receptor and to orient the substituent sidechains on the six and five membered rings so that they may also interact favorably with the receptor.
Although not intending to be bound to any specific mechanism of action, these compounds are believed to inhibit the binding of fibrinogen to the platelet-bound f1brinogen receptor GPIIb-IIIa, and may interact with other adhesion proteins via antagonism of a putative RGD binding site.
The compounds of this invention are compounds of formula (I):

Scheme I provides a method of preparing compounds wherein Al and A3 are nitrogen and A2 is CR2. Generally, the synthesis is begun with a substituted1,2-diaminobenzene compound. For compounds wherein (CR'R10)r-U-(CR2)S-V-is CONR'- the diaminobenzene starting material is substituted further by a nitrogroup. Reaction of this compound with an appropriately substituted isothiocyanate, such as methyl isothiocyanaloprol)ionate or methyl isothiocyanatoacetate, or an a~pr~liately substituted carboxylic acid compound, such as mono-methyl 20 succinate, yields the fused 6-5 benzimidazole ring system with the R2-substituent introduced. Reduction of the nitro group, such as with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, for example, palladium or carbon, in an acetic medium, for example in acetic acid/methanol (1:1), results in the formation of the corresponding amino compound. Condensation of the amino group with a carboxylic acid of the formula,25 W-(CR 2)q~Z~CO2H~ such as with 4-(Cbz-aminoiminomethyl)benzoic acid or 4-(Boc-aminomethyl)benzoic acid, in the presence of an amide-forming agent, such as in the presence of N-ethyl-N'(dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, and a base, such as diisopropylethyl amine, in a suitable solvent, such as in dimethylformamide. Protective groups, such as those for amino or carboxyl groups, are selectively removed by methods known in the art.

Other illustrative variants include tPA molecules in which one or more glycosylation sites have been altered. Preferred among plasminogen activators are variants of tPA in which the primary amino acid sequence has been altered in the25 growth factor domain so as to increase the serum half-life of the plasminogenactivator. tPA Growth factor variants are disclosed, e.g., by Robinson et al., EP-A 0 297 589 and Bruwne et al., EP-A 0 240 334. Other variants include hybrid proteins, such as those disclosed in EP 0 028 489, EP 0 155 387 and EP 0 297 882, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Anistreplase is a preferred hybrid 30 protein for use in this invention. Fibrinolytic agents may be isolated from natural sources, but are commonly produced by traditional methods of genetic engineering.
Useful formulations of tPA, SK, UK and pUK are disclosed, for example, in EP-A 0 211 592, EP-A 0 092 182 and U.S. Patent 4,568,543, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Typically the fibrinolytic agent may be 35 form~ te~l in an aqueous, buffered, isotonic solution, such as sodium or ammonium acetate or adipate buffered at pH 3.5 to 5.5. Additional excipients such as polyvinyl py~rolidone, gelatin, hydroxy cellulose, acacia, polyethylene, glycol, m~nnitol and sodium chloride may also be added. Such a composition can be lyophilized.
The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated with both the compound of formula (I) and fibrinolytic in the same container, but formulation in dirrelGnt 5 containers is preferred. When both agents are provided in solution form they can be contained in an infusion/injection system for simultaneous ~lm;ni~tration or in a tandem arrangement.
Indications for such therapy include myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke and other infarct-related disorders. The 10 compound of this invention is ~-lmini~tered just prior to, at the same time as, or just after parenteral ~tlmini~tration of tPA or other fibrinolytic agent. It may prove desirable to continue treatment with the claimed compounds for a period of time well after reperfusion has been established to maximally inhibit post-therapy reocclusion. The effective dose of tPA, SK, UK or pUK may be from 0.5 to 5 15 mg/kg and the effective dose of the peptide may be from about 0.1 to 25 mg/kg.
For convenient ~timini~tration of the inhibitor and the fibrinolytic agent at the same or diÇrer~nt times, a kit is prepaled, comprising, in a single container, such as a box, carton or other container, individual bottles, bags, vials or other containers each having an effective amount of the inhibitor for parenteral a(lmini~tration, as 20 described above, and an effective amount of tPA, or other fibrinolytic agent, for ,ente~ ministration~ as described above. Such kit can comprise, for example, both pharmaceutical agents in separate containers or the same container, optionally as lyophilized plugs, and containers of solutions for reconstitution. A variation of this is to include the solution for reconstitution and the Iyophilized plug in two 25 chambers of a single container, which can be caused to admix prior to use. With such an arrangement, the fibrinolytic and the compound of this invention may be packaged separately, as in two containers, or Iyophilized together as a powder and provided in a single container.
When both agents are provided in solution -form, they can be contained in an 30 infusion/injection system for simultaneous ~-lministration or in a tandem arrangement. For example, the platelet aggregation inhibitor may be in an i.v.
injectable form, or infusion bag linked in series, via tubing, to the fibrinolytic agent in a second infusion bag. Using such a system, a patient can receive an initial bolus-type injection or infusion of the inhibitor followed by an infusion of the fibrinolytic 35 agent.
The pharmacological activity of the compounds of this invention is assessed by their ability to inhibit the binding of 3H-SK&F 107260, a known RGD-fibrinogen antagonist, to the GPIlbIIIa receptor; their ability to inhibit platelet aggregation, in vitro, and their ability to inhibit thrombus formation in vivo.
Inhibition of RGD-mediated GPIIb-IIIa bindin~
s Purification of GPIIb-IIIa Ten units of outd~ted washed human platelets (obtained from Red Cross) were lyzed by gentle stirring in 3% octylglucoside, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaC12 at 4C for 2 h. The lysate was centrifuged at lOO,OOOg for 1 h. The supernatant obtained was applied to a 5 mL lentil lectin sepharose 4B
column (E.Y. Labs) preequilibrated with 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaC12, 1% octylglucoside (buffer A). After 2 h incubation, the column was washed with 50 mL cold buffer A. The lectin-retained GPIIb-IIIa was eluted with buffer A containing 10% dextrose. All procedures were perforrned at 4C. The GPIIb-IIIa obtained was >95% pure as shown by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis .
Incorporation of GPIIb-IIIa in Liposomes.
A ~ u,c of phosphatidylserine (70%) and phosphatidylcholine (30%) (Avanti Polar Lipids) were dried to the walls of a glass tube under a stream of nitrogen. Purified GPIIb-IIIa was diluted to a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and mixed with the phospholipids in a protein:phospholipid ratio of 1 :3 (w:w). The mi~ule was resuspended and sonicated in a bath sonicator for S min. The ~ ule was then dialyzed overnight using 12,000-14,000 molecular weight cutoff dialysistubing against a 1000-fold excess of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaC12 (with 2 changes). The GPIIb-IIIa-containing liposomes wee centrifuged at 12,000g for 15 min and resuspended in the dialysis buffer at a final protein concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL. The liposomes were stored at -70C until nee~le l Competitive Binding to GPIIb-lIIa The binding to the fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb-IIIa) was assayed by an indirect colnpelitive binding method using [3H]-SK&F-107260 as an RGD-type ligand. The binding assay was perforrned in a 96-well filtration plate assembly (Millipore Col~ul~lion, Bedford, MA) using 0.22 um hydrophilic durapore membranes. The wells were precoated with 0.2 mL of 10 ,ug/mL polylysine (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO.) at room temperature for 1 h to block nonspecific binding. Various concentrations of unlabeled ben7~ 7~pines were added to the wells in quadruplicate. [3H]-SK&F- 107260 was applied to each well at a final concentration of 4.5 nM, followed by the addition of 1 ,ug of the purified platelet GPIIb-ma-containing liposomes. The mixtures were incubated for 1 h at room le~ el~ture. TheGPIIb-IIIa-bound[3H]-SK&F-107260wasseperatedfromthe unbound by filtration using a Millipore filtration manifold, followed by washingwith ice-cold buffer (2 times, each 0.2 mL). Bound radioactivity rem~ining on the filters was counted in 1.5 mL Ready Solve (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA) in a Beckman Liquid Scintill~tion Counter (Model LS6800), with 40% efficiency.
Non~peçific binding was determined in the presence of 2 ,uM unlabeled SK&F-107260 and was consistently less than 0.14% of the total radioactivity added to the samples. All data points are the mean of quadruplicate determinations. The compounds of this invention inhibit [3H]-SK&F 107260 binding with Ki in the range of about 40 nM to about 50 ,uM. Preferred compounds have Ki of less than 100 nM.
Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation Blood was collected (citrated to prevent coagulation) from, naive, adult mongrel dogs. Platelet rich plasma, PRP, was prepared by centrifugation at 150 x g 20 for 10 min at room temperature. Washed platelets were prepared by centrifuging PRP at 800 x g for 10 min. The cell pellet thus obtained was washed twice in Tyrode's buffer (pH 6.5) without Ca++ and resuspended in Tyrode's buffer (pH 7.4) cont~ining 1.8 mM Ca++ at 3 x 105 cells/ml. Compounds were added 3 min prior to the agonist in all assays of platelet aggregation. Final agonist concentrations were 25 0.1 unit/ml thrombin and 2 mM ADP (Sigma). Aggregation was monitored in a Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer. Light transmittance 5 min after addition of the agonist was used to calculate percent aggregation according to the formula %
aggregation = [(90-CR) O (90-10)] x 100, where CR is the chart reading, 90 is the ba~eline, and 10 is the PRP blank reading. IC50's were determined by plotting [%30 inhibition of aggregation] vs. [concentration of compound]. Compounds were assayed at 200 mM and diluted sequentially by a factor of 2 to establish a suitable dose response curve.
The compounds of this invention inhibit the aggregation of human platelets stim~ te~ with ADP with IC50 of about 0.45 to about 50 ,uM. Preferred 35 compounds have IC50 of less than 1 ,uM.
To assess the stability of the compounds to plasma proteases, the compounds were incubated for 3 h (rather than 3 min) in the PRP prior to addition of the agonist.
In Vivo Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation In vivo inhibition of thrombus formation is demonstrated by recording the systemic and hemodynamic effects of infusion of the peptides into anesthetized dogs according to the methods described in Aiken et al., Prostaglandins, 19, 629 (1980).
The examples which follow are intended to in no way limit the scope of this invention, but are provided to illustrate how to make and use the compounds of this invention. Many other emb~3iment~ will be readily appare,1t and available to those skilled in the art.

Scheme I provides a method of preparing compounds wherein Al and A3 are nitrogen and A2 is CR2. Generally, the synthesis is begun with a substituted1,2-diaminobenzene compound. For compounds wherein (CR'R10)r-U-(CR2)S-V-is CONR'- the diaminobenzene starting material is substituted further by a nitrogroup. Reaction of this compound with an appropriately substituted isothiocyanate, such as methyl isothiocyanaloprol)ionate or methyl isothiocyanatoacetate, or an a~pr~liately substituted carboxylic acid compound, such as mono-methyl 20 succinate, yields the fused 6-5 benzimidazole ring system with the R2-substituent introduced. Reduction of the nitro group, such as with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, for example, palladium or carbon, in an acetic medium, for example in acetic acid/methanol (1:1), results in the formation of the corresponding amino compound. Condensation of the amino group with a carboxylic acid of the formula,25 W-(CR 2)q~Z~CO2H~ such as with 4-(Cbz-aminoiminomethyl)benzoic acid or 4-(Boc-aminomethyl)benzoic acid, in the presence of an amide-forming agent, such as in the presence of N-ethyl-N'(dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, and a base, such as diisopropylethyl amine, in a suitable solvent, such as in dimethylformamide. Protective groups, such as those for amino or carboxyl groups, are selectively removed by methods known in the art. For example, a Cbz-group on a nitrogen atom may be removed by hydrogenation in the 5 presence of a catalyst, such as palladium on carbon, in an acidic medium, such as in acetic acid/methanol, and a Boc-group on a nitrogen atom and/or an ester group on a ca~ ylic acid may be removed by acid, for example refluxing aqueous acetic acid.

Scheme IV provides a method of preparing compounds wherein A 1 is carbon, A2 is CR2, A3 is nitrogen, and (CR'R10)r-U-(CR'2)s-V- is NR'CO-.
5 According tot his scheme, the nitro group of a nitrobenzoate ester, such as benzyl 4-nitrobenzoate, is converted to the corresponding hydroxyamino group using, for example, hydrazine hydrate in the presence of a reducing agent, such as wet rhodium on carbon, in a suitable solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran. Reaction of the hydroxyamino group with an R2-substituted acyl Meldrum's acid (Meldrum's acid is10 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione.) in an appropriate solvent, such as acetonitrile, yields N-acetoacetylation of the N-phenyl hydroxylamine interme~ te The R2-substituted-carboxyindole is prepared from this intermediate using, for example,2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), in an applopliate deoxygenated solvent, such as xylene. The ester protecting group on the indole carboxylic acid group is removed 15 by conventional methods, such as, when a benzyl ester is present, by hydrogenation in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as palladium on carbon. Formula (I)compounds are pl~l)aled as detailed in Scheme II, formulae 6 to 8.
212~169 P50119 Coupling reagents as used herein denote reagents which may be used to form peptide bonds. Typical coupling methods employ carbodiimides, activated anhydrides and esters and acyl halides. Reagents such as EDC, DCC, DPPA, PPA, BOP reagent, HOBt, N-hydroxysuccinimide and oxalyl chloride are typical.
Coupling methods to form peptide bonds are generally well known to the art.
The methods of peptide synthesis generally set forth by Bodansky et al., THE
pRAcIlcEoFpEprlDEsyN~sIs~ Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1984, Ali etal. in J. Med. Chem., 29, 984 (1986) and J. Med. Chem., 30, 2291 (1987) are generally illustrative of the technique and are incorporated herein by reference.
Solution synthesis for the formation of amide or peptide bonds is accomplished using conventional methods used to form amide bonds. Typically, theamine or aniline is coupled via its free amino group to an applopliate carboxylic acis substrate using a suitable carbodiimide coupling agent, such as N,N' dicyclohexyl carb~liimide (DCC), optionally in the presence of catalysts such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP). Other methods, such as the formation of activated esters, anhydrides or acid halides, of the free carboxyl of a suitably protected acid substrate, and subsequent reaction with the free amine of a suitably protected amine, optionally in the presence of a base, are also suitable. For example, a protected Boc-amino acid or Cbz-amidino benzoic acid is treated in an anhydrous solvent, such as methylene chloride or tetrahyd~rul~1(THF), in the presence of a base, such as N-methyl morpholine, DMAP or a triaIkylamine, with isobutyl chloroformate to form the "activated anhydride", which is subsequently reacted with the free amine of a second protected amino acid or aniline.
Compounds of formula (X) are prepared by conventional methods known in the art from commercially available materials. W is a generally a basic functional group attached to Z, optionally via an alkyl chain, and is protected during the synthesis of R6 or is introduced into the molecule after the -(CR'R10)r-U-(CR'2)S-V
linkage has been formed. For example, compounds of formula (X) or formula (I) wherein W is a suitably substituted R'R"N-, R"R'NC(=NR'), R'2N(R13)C=N-, R"N=(R13)C-NR'-, R'2N(R'2N)C=N- or R"R'N(R'N=)C-NR', are prepared by conventional methods including those disclosed in EP-A 0 372 486, EP-A 0 381 033or EP-A 0 478 363, which are incorporated herein by reference.

The reactive functional groups of the sidechains of each synthetic fragment are suitably protected as known in the art. Suitable protective groups are disclosed in Greene, PROTECTIVE GROUPS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1981. For example, the Boc, Cbz, phthaloyl or Fmoc group may be used for protection of an amino or amidino group. The Boc group is generally ~Çelr~d for protection of an a-amino group. A t-Bu, cHex or benzyl ester may be used for the protection of the side chain carboxyl. A benzyl group or suitably substituted benzyl group (eg. 4-methoxy-benzyl or 2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl) is used to protect the mercapto group or the hydroxyl group. The tosyl group may be used for oteclion of the imidazolyl group and tosyl or nitro group for protection of the gu~ni(lino group. A suitably substituted carbobenzyloxy group or benzyl group may be also be used for the hydroxyl group or amino group. Suitable substitution of the carbobenzyloxy or benzyl protecting groups is ortho and/or para substitution with chloro, bromo, nitro or methyl, and is used to modify the reactivity of the protective group. Except for the Boc group, the protective groups for the amino moiety are,most conveniently, those which are not removed by mild acid treatment. These protective groups are removed by such methods as catalytic hydrogenation, sodiumin liquid ammonia or HF treatment, as known in the art.
S Mo lificatiQn of amino groups especially on the six-membered ring of the bicyclic system, may be accomplished by alkylation, sulfonylation, cyanation or acylation as is generally known in the art.
Acid addition salts of the compounds of formula (I) are ~lcpaled in a standard manner in a suitable solvent from the parent compound and an excess of an acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, maleic, succinic or methanesulfonic. The acetate salt form is especially useful. 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 alkalinereagent, such as a hydroxide, carbonate or alkoxide, containing the appropriate cation; or with an appl~ pliate organic amine. Cations such as Li+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++ and NH4+ are specific examples of cations present in pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
This invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound according to formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Accordingly, the compounds of formula (I) may be used in the manufacture of a medicamsnt Pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds of formula (I) plcpaled as hereinbefore described may be formulated as solutions or lyophilizedpowders for palcllt~l~l a(lmini.ctration. 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 a~lminictration, but may also be used for oral a(lminic~ation or contained in a metered dose inhaler or nebulizer for insufflation. It may be desirable to add excipients such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, hydroxy cellulose, acacia, polyethylene glycol, m~nnitol, sodium chloride or sodium citrate.
Alternately, these compounds may be encapsulated, tableted or prepared in a çmulciQn or syrup for oral ~lminictration. Pharmaceutically acceptable solid or liquid carriers may be added to enhance or stabilize the composition, or to facilitate p~ lion of the composition. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, calcium sulfate dihydrate, terra alba, magnesium stearate or stearic acid, talc, pectin, acacia, agar or gelatin. Liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, saline and water.
- 2l24l69 The carrier may also include a sustained release material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or with a wax. The amount of solid carrier varies but, preferably, will be between about 20 mg to about 1 g per dosage unit. The pharmaceutical preparations are made following the conventional 5 techniques of pharmacy involving milling, mixing, granulating, and co-llpl~,ssillg, when necess~ry~ 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. Such a liquidformulation may be ~(lministered directly p.o. or filled into a soft gelatin capsule.
Forrectal ~lmini~tration~ the compounds of this invention may also be combined with excipients such as cocoa butter, glycerin, gelatin or polyethyleneglycols and molded into a suppository.
This invention also provides a method of inhibiting platelet aggregation and clot formation in a m~mm~l, especially a human, which comprises the internal 15 ~rimini~tration of a peptide of formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Indications for such therapy include acute myocardial infarction (AMI), deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, dissecting anurysm, transient ischemia attack (TIA), stroke and other infarct-related disorders, and unstable angina. Chronic or acute states of hyper-aggregability, such as dissemin~ted intravascular coagulation 20 (DIC), septicemia, surgical or infectious shock, post-operative and post-partum trauma, cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, incompatible blood transfusion, abruptiopl~ent~, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), snake venom and immune ea~es, are likely to be responsive to such treatment. In addition, the compoundsof this invention may be useful in a method for the prevention of met~t~tic 25 conditions, the prevention or treatment of fungal or bacterial infection, inducing immllnostim~ tion, and the prevention or treatment of diseases in which bone resorption is a factor.
The compounds of this invention are ~dmini~tered either orally or parenterally to the patient, in a manner such that the concentration of drug in the 30 plasma is sufficient to inhibit platelet aggregation, or other such indication. The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of this invention are ~-lministered at a dose between about 0.2 to about 50 mg/kg in a manner consistent with the condition of the patient. For acute therapy, parenteral ~clministration is preferred. For persistent states of hyperaggregability, an intravenous infusion of the 35 colllpound in 5% dextrose in water or normal saline is most effective, although an inll~...uscul~r bolus injection may be sufficient.
212~169 For chronic, but noncritical, states of platelet aggregability, oral administration of a capsule or tablet, or a bolus intramuscular injection is suitable.
The compounds of this invention are administered one to four times daily at a level of about 0.4 to about 50 mg/kg to achieve a total daily dose of about 0.4 to about 5 200 mg/kg/day.
This invention further provides a method for inhibiting the reocclusion of an artery or vein following fibrinolytic therapy, which comprises internal ~lministration of a compound of formula (I) and a fibrinolytic agent. It has been found that ~lmini~tration of certain compounds in fibrinolytic therapy either 10 prevents reocclusion completely or prolongs the time to reocclusion.
When used in the context of this invention the term fibrinolytic agent is intend~ to mean any compound, whether a natural or synthetic product, which directly or indirectly causes the lysis of a fibrin clot. Plasminogen activators are a well known group of fibrinolytic agents. Useful plasminogen activators include, for 15 example, anistreplase, urokinase (UK), pro-urokinase (pUK), streptokinase (SK), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and mutants, or variants, thereof, which retain plasminogen activator activity, such as variants which have been chemically modified or in which one or more amino acids have been added, deleted or substituted or in which one or more or functional domains have been added, deleted 20 or altered such as by combining the active site of one plasminogen activator with the fibrin binding domain of another plasminogen activator or fibrin binding molecule.
Other illustrative variants include tPA molecules in which one or more glycosylation sites have been altered. Preferred among plasminogen activators are variants of tPA in which the primary amino acid sequence has been altered in the25 growth factor domain so as to increase the serum half-life of the plasminogenactivator. tPA Growth factor variants are disclosed, e.g., by Robinson et al., EP-A 0 297 589 and Bruwne et al., EP-A 0 240 334. Other variants include hybrid proteins, such as those disclosed in EP 0 028 489, EP 0 155 387 and EP 0 297 882, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Anistreplase is a preferred hybrid 30 protein for use in this invention. Fibrinolytic agents may be isolated from natural sources, but are commonly produced by traditional methods of genetic engineering.
Useful formulations of tPA, SK, UK and pUK are disclosed, for example, in EP-A 0 211 592, EP-A 0 092 182 and U.S. Patent 4,568,543, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Typically the fibrinolytic agent may be 35 form~ te~l in an aqueous, buffered, isotonic solution, such as sodium or ammonium acetate or adipate buffered at pH 3.5 to 5.5. Additional excipients such as polyvinyl py~rolidone, gelatin, hydroxy cellulose, acacia, polyethylene, glycol, m~nnitol and sodium chloride may also be added. Such a composition can be lyophilized.
The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated with both the compound of formula (I) and fibrinolytic in the same container, but formulation in dirrelGnt 5 containers is preferred. When both agents are provided in solution form they can be contained in an infusion/injection system for simultaneous ~lm;ni~tration or in a tandem arrangement.
Indications for such therapy include myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke and other infarct-related disorders. The 10 compound of this invention is ~-lmini~tered just prior to, at the same time as, or just after parenteral ~tlmini~tration of tPA or other fibrinolytic agent. It may prove desirable to continue treatment with the claimed compounds for a period of time well after reperfusion has been established to maximally inhibit post-therapy reocclusion. The effective dose of tPA, SK, UK or pUK may be from 0.5 to 5 15 mg/kg and the effective dose of the peptide may be from about 0.1 to 25 mg/kg.
For convenient ~timini~tration of the inhibitor and the fibrinolytic agent at the same or diÇrer~nt times, a kit is prepaled, comprising, in a single container, such as a box, carton or other container, individual bottles, bags, vials or other containers each having an effective amount of the inhibitor for parenteral a(lmini~tration, as 20 described above, and an effective amount of tPA, or other fibrinolytic agent, for ,ente~ ministration~ as described above. Such kit can comprise, for example, both pharmaceutical agents in separate containers or the same container, optionally as lyophilized plugs, and containers of solutions for reconstitution. A variation of this is to include the solution for reconstitution and the Iyophilized plug in two 25 chambers of a single container, which can be caused to admix prior to use. With such an arrangement, the fibrinolytic and the compound of this invention may be packaged separately, as in two containers, or Iyophilized together as a powder and provided in a single container.
When both agents are provided in solution -form, they can be contained in an 30 infusion/injection system for simultaneous ~-lministration or in a tandem arrangement. For example, the platelet aggregation inhibitor may be in an i.v.
injectable form, or infusion bag linked in series, via tubing, to the fibrinolytic agent in a second infusion bag. Using such a system, a patient can receive an initial bolus-type injection or infusion of the inhibitor followed by an infusion of the fibrinolytic 35 agent.
The pharmacological activity of the compounds of this invention is assessed by their ability to inhibit the binding of 3H-SK&F 107260, a known RGD-fibrinogen antagonist, to the GPIlbIIIa receptor; their ability to inhibit platelet aggregation, in vitro, and their ability to inhibit thrombus formation in vivo.
Inhibition of RGD-mediated GPIIb-IIIa bindin~
s Purification of GPIIb-IIIa Ten units of outd~ted washed human platelets (obtained from Red Cross) were lyzed by gentle stirring in 3% octylglucoside, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaC12 at 4C for 2 h. The lysate was centrifuged at lOO,OOOg for 1 h. The supernatant obtained was applied to a 5 mL lentil lectin sepharose 4B
column (E.Y. Labs) preequilibrated with 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaC12, 1% octylglucoside (buffer A). After 2 h incubation, the column was washed with 50 mL cold buffer A. The lectin-retained GPIIb-IIIa was eluted with buffer A containing 10% dextrose. All procedures were perforrned at 4C. The GPIIb-IIIa obtained was >95% pure as shown by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis .
Incorporation of GPIIb-IIIa in Liposomes.
A ~ u,c of phosphatidylserine (70%) and phosphatidylcholine (30%) (Avanti Polar Lipids) were dried to the walls of a glass tube under a stream of nitrogen. Purified GPIIb-IIIa was diluted to a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and mixed with the phospholipids in a protein:phospholipid ratio of 1 :3 (w:w). The mi~ule was resuspended and sonicated in a bath sonicator for S min. The ~ ule was then dialyzed overnight using 12,000-14,000 molecular weight cutoff dialysistubing against a 1000-fold excess of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaC12 (with 2 changes). The GPIIb-IIIa-containing liposomes wee centrifuged at 12,000g for 15 min and resuspended in the dialysis buffer at a final protein concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL. The liposomes were stored at -70C until nee~le l Competitive Binding to GPIIb-lIIa The binding to the fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb-IIIa) was assayed by an indirect colnpelitive binding method using [3H]-SK&F-107260 as an RGD-type ligand. The binding assay was perforrned in a 96-well filtration plate assembly (Millipore Col~ul~lion, Bedford, MA) using 0.22 um hydrophilic durapore membranes. The wells were precoated with 0.2 mL of 10 ,ug/mL polylysine (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO.) at room temperature for 1 h to block nonspecific binding. Various concentrations of unlabeled ben7~ 7~pines were added to the wells in quadruplicate. [3H]-SK&F- 107260 was applied to each well at a final concentration of 4.5 nM, followed by the addition of 1 ,ug of the purified platelet GPIIb-ma-containing liposomes. The mixtures were incubated for 1 h at room le~ el~ture. TheGPIIb-IIIa-bound[3H]-SK&F-107260wasseperatedfromthe unbound by filtration using a Millipore filtration manifold, followed by washingwith ice-cold buffer (2 times, each 0.2 mL). Bound radioactivity rem~ining on the filters was counted in 1.5 mL Ready Solve (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA) in a Beckman Liquid Scintill~tion Counter (Model LS6800), with 40% efficiency.
Non~peçific binding was determined in the presence of 2 ,uM unlabeled SK&F-107260 and was consistently less than 0.14% of the total radioactivity added to the samples. All data points are the mean of quadruplicate determinations. The compounds of this invention inhibit [3H]-SK&F 107260 binding with Ki in the range of about 40 nM to about 50 ,uM. Preferred compounds have Ki of less than 100 nM.
Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation Blood was collected (citrated to prevent coagulation) from, naive, adult mongrel dogs. Platelet rich plasma, PRP, was prepared by centrifugation at 150 x g 20 for 10 min at room temperature. Washed platelets were prepared by centrifuging PRP at 800 x g for 10 min. The cell pellet thus obtained was washed twice in Tyrode's buffer (pH 6.5) without Ca++ and resuspended in Tyrode's buffer (pH 7.4) cont~ining 1.8 mM Ca++ at 3 x 105 cells/ml. Compounds were added 3 min prior to the agonist in all assays of platelet aggregation. Final agonist concentrations were 25 0.1 unit/ml thrombin and 2 mM ADP (Sigma). Aggregation was monitored in a Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer. Light transmittance 5 min after addition of the agonist was used to calculate percent aggregation according to the formula %
aggregation = [(90-CR) O (90-10)] x 100, where CR is the chart reading, 90 is the ba~eline, and 10 is the PRP blank reading. IC50's were determined by plotting [%30 inhibition of aggregation] vs. [concentration of compound]. Compounds were assayed at 200 mM and diluted sequentially by a factor of 2 to establish a suitable dose response curve.
The compounds of this invention inhibit the aggregation of human platelets stim~ te~ with ADP with IC50 of about 0.45 to about 50 ,uM. Preferred 35 compounds have IC50 of less than 1 ,uM.
To assess the stability of the compounds to plasma proteases, the compounds were incubated for 3 h (rather than 3 min) in the PRP prior to addition of the agonist.
In Vivo Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation In vivo inhibition of thrombus formation is demonstrated by recording the systemic and hemodynamic effects of infusion of the peptides into anesthetized dogs according to the methods described in Aiken et al., Prostaglandins, 19, 629 (1980).
The examples which follow are intended to in no way limit the scope of this invention, but are provided to illustrate how to make and use the compounds of this invention. Many other emb~3iment~ will be readily appare,1t and available to those skilled in the art.
