Description

W O 97/24119 PCTrUS96/20748 TITLE
Vitronectin Receptor Antagonists FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to pharm~eu~ically active compounds which inhibit the vitronectin receptor and are useful for the treatment o~ infl~mm~tion, cancer and cardiovascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis, and ~ e:~e.s wherein bone resorption is a factor, such as osteoporosis.
BACKGROUND OF TH~ INVEI~TION
Integrins are a ~upelr~lllily of cell adhesion receptors, which are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on a variety of cells. These cell surface adhesion receptors include gpIIb /IIIa, the fibrinogen receptor, and o~vM3, the 15 vitronectin receptor. The fibrinogen receptor gpIIb /IIIa is expressed on the platelet surface and it m~ tes platelet aggregation and the formation of a hemostatic clot at the site of a bleeding wound. Philips, et al., Blood., 1988, 71, 831. The vitronectin receptor av1~3 is expressed on a number of cells, including endothelial, smooth muscle, osteoclast, and tumor cells, and, thus, it has a variety of functions. The aV133 20 receptor expressed on the membrane of osteoclast cells mediates the bone resportion process and contributes to the development of osteoporosis. Ross, et al., J. Biol.
Chem., 1987, 262, 7703. The ocv~3 receptor expressed on human aortic smooth muscle cells ~tim~ tPs their migration into neointima, which leads to the formation of atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. Brown, et al., Cardiovascular 25 Res., 1994, 28, 1815. Additionally, a recent study has shown that a CCv~3 antagonist is able to proIrlote turnor regression by in.lu.~ing aEioptosi~. of angiogenic l~lood vessels. Brooks, et al., Cell, 1994, 79, 1157. Thus, agents that would block thevitronectin receptor would be useful in treating diseases m~ t~d by this receptor, such as osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, restenosis and cancer.

~ -- 1 --W O97/24119 PCT~US96/20748 The vitronectin receptor is known to bind to bone matrix proteins, such as osteopontin, bone sialoprotein and thrombospondin, which contain the tri-peptideArg-Gly-Asp (or RGD) motif. Thus, Horton, et al., Exp. Cell Res. lg91, 195, 368,disclose that RGD-cont:lining peptides and an anti-vitronectin receptor antibody(23C6~ inhibit dentine resorption and cell spreading by osteoclasts. In addition, Sato, et al., J. Cell Biol. 1990, 111, 1713 disclose that echicf~fin, a snake venom peptide which contains the RGD sequence, is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption in tissue culture, and inhibits attachment of osteoclasts to bone. Fisher, et al., Endocrinology 1993, 132, 1411, has further shown that echistatin inhibits bone resorption in vivo in the rat. BertoIini etal., J. Bone Min. ~es., 6, Sup. 1, S146, 252 have shown that cylco-S,S-N~C-acetyl-cy~leillyl-N~c methyl-argininyl-glycyl-aspartyl-penicillzlmin~ inhibits osteoclast ~tt:~hmt-nt to bone. EP 528 587 and 528 586 report substituted phenyl derivatives which inhibit osteoclast m~ tçA bone resorption.
Alig et al., EP 0 381 033, Hartman, et al., EP 0 540,334, Blackburn, et al., WO 93/08174, Bondinell, et al., WO 93/00095, Blackburn, et al. WO 95/04057, Egbertson, et al, EP 0 478 328, Sugihara, et al. EP 529,858, Porter, et al., EP 0 542 363, and Fisher, et al., EP 0 635 492 ~1icclc)se certain compounds that are useful for inhibiting the fibrinogen receptor. It has now been discovered that certain a~ iately substituted compounds are potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor.
In particular, it has been discovered that such compounds are more potent inhibitors of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor and such compounds contain a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template.

SUM[MARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention comprises compounds of the formula (I)-(V) and (XXI)-(XXII) as described hereinafter, which have pharmacological activity for the inhibition of the vitronection receptor and are useful in the treatment of infl~mm:-fion, cancer and cardiovascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis, and ~lice~cçs wherein bone resorption is a factor, such as osteoporosis.

W O g7/24119 PCTrUS96120748 This invention is also a pharm~reutical composition comprising a compound according to formula (I)-(V) (XXI)-(XXII)and a ph~rm:~reutically carrier.
This invention is also a method of treating ~ e~es which are m~ t~d by " the vitronectin receptor. In a particular aspect, the compounds of this invention are 5 useful for treating atherosclerosis, restenosis, infl~mm~tion, cancer and diseases wherein bone resorption is a factor, such as osteoporosis.

DETAILI~D DESCRIPTION
This invention compri~es novel compounds which are more potent inhibitors 10 of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor. The co~ oullds of the instant invention comprise a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template that is linked to a nitrogen-cont~ining five-membered ring, which is optionally fused to an aromatic six-membered ring. The fibrinogen receptor antagonist template is substituted by an aliphatic substituent which contains an acidic moiety. It is preferred that about 15 fourteen intervening covalent bonds via the shortest intramolecular path will exist between the acidic group of the fibrinogen receptor antagonist template and the nitrogen of the optionally fused five-membered ring.
As used herein, the term "fibrinogen recel~lor antagonist template" means the core structure of a fibrinogen receptor antagonist, said core being substituted by an 20 acidic group and said core being linked to an organic group substituted with a basic nitrogen moiety. A fibrinogen receptor antagonist is an agent that inhibits the binding of fibrinogen to the platelet-bound fibrinogen receptor GPIIb-IIIa. It is an object of this invention that a fibrinogen receptor antagonist is converted to avitronectin receptor antagonist by replacing the organic group substituted with a 25 basic nitrogen moiety in a fibrinogen receptor antagonist with an optionally fused nitrogen-cont~ining five-membered ring, preferably an imidazole ring and, most preferably, a ben~imi~ ole ring.

(XIX) (XX) (I) Typical methods include coupling to form amide bonds, nucleophilic displ~rçm~nt reactions and p~ m catalyzed couplings. For instance, when W

W O 97/24119 PCTrUS96/20748 contains an ether or amine linkage, the bond may be formed by a displacement reaction, and one of Ll and L2 will contain an amino or hydroxy group and the other will contain a displaceable group, such as a chloro, bromo or iodo group. When Wcontains an amide bond, typically one of Ll and L2 will contain an amino group, and 5 the other will contain a carboxylic acid group. In another approach, Ll may be an aryl or heteroaryl bromide, iodide or trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy derivative and L2 may contain an amino group and the amide linkage may be formed by p~ m-catalyzed aminocarbonylation with carbon monoxide in a suitable solvent such as dimethylform~micle or toluene.
It will be apparent that the precise identity of Ll and L2 will be dependent upon the site of the linkage being }'ormed. General methods for preparing the linkage -(CHR")~-U-(CHR")s-V- are described, for example, in EP-A 0 372 486 and EP-A 0 381 033 and LP-A 0 478 363, which are incol~oldt~d herein by reference.

CA 0224l633 l998-06-26 An ~p,op.iately substituted deoxybenzoin, such as 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-l-phenylethanone (Chem. Ber. 1958, 91, 755-759), is reacted in an aldol-type reaction with the enolate of ethyl acetate, which can be generated from ethyl acetate on exposure to an a~pr~p.iate amide base, for in~t~nre lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) 5 or lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiN(TMS)2), to afford I-2. Fre~uently, THF is - the solvent of choice for an aldol reaction, although THF in the presence of various additives, for in.~t~nre HMPA or TMEDA, is often used. Reaction of I-2 with triethylsilane (Et3SiH) in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate (BF3 ~ OEt2) according to the general protocol of Orphanopoulos and Smonu (Synth. Commun.
10 1988, 833) for the reduction of tertiary benzylic alcohols affords I-3, together with the olefinic product derived from ~ limin:~tion of the alcohol. The olefinic product can be conveniently converted to I-3 by hydrogenation over a F~ m catalyst, such as palladium metal on activated carbon (Pd/C), in an ~pl~pliate inert solvent, for in~t:~nre mr.th~nol, ethanol, or ethyl acetate. Removal of the methyl ether of I-3 15 to give I-4 can be accomplished by reaction with eth~nethiol (EtSH) in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, preferably anhydrous ~lnminllm trichloride (AlCl3), in an inert solvent, for in~t~nce CH2Cl2. Other useful methods for removal of a methylether are described in Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" (published by Wiley-Interscience). Alcohol I-4 is converted to its trifluoromethanesulfonate 20 ester I-5 by reaction with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Tf2O) in the presence of a suitable non-nucleophilic amine base, such as 2,6-lutidine, in an inert solvent, generally CH2Cl2. I-~ reacts with carbon monoxide (CO) in the presence of potassium acetate, 1, l '-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), and a F~ lillmcatalyst, for in~t~nce palladium acetate (Pd(OAc)2), in a suitable solvent, preferably 25 DMSO, according to the general method described by Cacchi and Lupi (Tet. Lett.
1992, 33, 3939) for the carboxylation of aryl trifluorometh~nt-sulfonates. The resulting benzoic acid derivative I-6 is converted to an activated form of the carboxylic acid using, for example, EDC and HOBt, or SOCl2, and the activated form is subsequently reacted with an ~pl~,p.iate amine, for in~t~nre 2-30 (methylaminomethyl)methylben7.imi-l~7.ole dihydrochlnri~le, in a suitable solvent W O 97/24119 PCT~US96/20748 such as DMF, CH~Cl2, or CH3CN, to afford I-7. Df~pçn-lin~ on whether acid neutralization is required, an added base, such as diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)2NEt) or pyridine, may be used. Many additional methods for converting a carboxylic acid to an amide are known, and can be found in standard reference books, such as 5 "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods", Vol. I - VI (published by Wiley-Interscience), or Bodansky, "The Practice of Peptide Synthesis" (published by Springer-Verlag). The ethyl ester of I-7 is hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example, LiOH in aqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol, and the intermediate carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for instance TFA or 10 HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid I-8. ~lt~rn~tively, the interm~ t.o carboxylate salt can be isolated, if desired, or a carboxylate salt of the free carboxylic acid can be prepared by methods well-known to those of skill in the art.

W O 97/24119 PCTrUS96t20748 Commercially available 4-bromobenzoic acid (II-l) is converted to the tert-butyl ester II-2 by reaction with isobutylene in the presence of a catalytic arnount of an acid, such as trifluorom~thAn.osulfonic acid (TfOH) or sulfuric acid, in _n inert solvent, generally CH2Cl2 or diethyl ether. Alternative methods for the formation of 5 tert-butyl esters are described in Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis"
(published by Wiley-Interscience). Other esters can be employed, as long as theyare compatible with the subsequent chemistry and can be removed selectively whendesired. A Heck-type reaction between II-2 and methyl acrylate affords II-3. Thegeneral conditions for the Heck reaction have been reviewed by Heck (Org.
lO Reactions 1982, 27, 345). For ~I-2, reaction with methyl acrylate in the presence of palladium ~II) acetate (Pd(OAc)2) and tri-ortho-tolylphosphine (P(tol)3) in an inert solvent, such as CH3CN, propionitrile, or toluene, in the presence of an ~p.o~,iate acid scavenger, such as diisopropylethyla~lnine ((i-Pr)2NEt), affords II-3. Reduction of the a,l3-unsaturated ester of II-3 to afford the saturated compound II-4 occurs 15 under standard hydrogenation conditions, for instance reaction with hydrogen gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst, preferably palladium metal on activated carbon (Pd/C), in an inert solvent, generally m(~thAn~l, ethanol, ethyl acetate, or mixtures thereof. The methyl ester of II-4 is hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example,LiOH in aqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or eth_nol, and the 20 interm~-liAte carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for in~t~n~e T~A or HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid II-5. Tnis is converted to an activated form of the carboxylic acid using, for example, EDC and HOBt, or SOC12, and the activated form is subsequently reacted with an a~3p~ iate a~nine, for in~tAnce dimethylamine hydrochloride, in a suitable solvent such as DMF, CH2CI~, or CH3CN, to afford II-6.
25 Depending on whether acid neutralization is required, an added base, such as diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)2NEt) or pyridine, may be used. Many additional methods for converting a carboxylic acid to an amide are known, and can be foundin standard reference books, such as "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods", Vol. I - VI (published by Wiley-Interscience), or Bodansky, "The Practice of Peptide 30 Synthesis" (published by Springer-Verlag).

or ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME), affords an interm~ te amide enolate.
5 This is generally not isolated, but rather is reacted in situ with an electrophile, for example ethyl bromoacetate, to afford the alkylated product II-7. Various additives known to those of skill in the art, for in~t~n~e HMPA, teLlalllelhylethylen~ mine (TMEDA), or 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (DMPU), can be used to improve the eff1ciency of the alkylation reaction. ). The tert-butyl ester 10 group of II-7 is removed under acidic conditions, generally with TFA or HCl, in an inert solvent, usually CH2Cl2, 1~4-dioxane, or l~ Lules thereof, to afford the acid II-8. Other useful methods for the removal of tert-butyl esters are described in Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" (published by Wiley-Interscience). II-8 is converted to II-9 under the general conditions described in Scheme I for the conversion of I-6 to I-7, and II-9 is converted to II-10 by the general conditions described in Scheme I for the conversion of I-7 to I-8.

The synthesis of IV-8 is acc~-mpli~h~l by the reaction of two separately prepared interm~ tes, IV-3 and IV-6. The preparation of intP.rmP.rli~h? IV-3 begins - ~6 -W O 97/24119 PCTnUS96/20748 with colllll,er-;ially available 2,3-diaminopyridine (IV-l). Accordinf to this sch~mP, IV-1 is acylated with methyl 4-(choloroformyl)butyrate in the presence of a suitable acid scavenger, such as triethylamine, diisoL,loL\ylethylarnine, or pyridine, in a neutral solvent, generally CH2Cl2 or THF, to afford an interm~ t~ monoacylated - S derivative. This delivativ~ is then cyclized, for example using r~nu~ing acetic acid, - to afford IV-2. Hydrolysis of the methyl ester of IV-2 under the general conditions described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of I-7 to I-8 affords IV-3. The preparation of the intermediate IV-6 begins with the coupling of the known ethyl 3-amino-4-pentynoate (W093/07867) with culll.llelcially available tert-butoxycarbonylglycine (Boc-Gly) under standard peptide bond forming conditions described in the previously referenced Bodansky publication, and in Scheme 1 for the conve,~ion of I-6 to I-7. The product of this reaction, IV-5, is deprotected to IV-6 under acidic conditions which are known to effect removal of a Boc protecting group. Such conditions are described in the previously referenced Bodansky and Greene publications. The two interm~ t~s IV-3 and IV-6 are coupled under standard peptide coupling conditions as previously described to afford IV-7, which is hydrolyzed to IV-8 according to the general methods described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of I-7 to I-8.

The synthesis of V-7 is accomplished by the reaction of two separately prepared interme~ tt~s, V-2 and V-5. V-2 is conveniently prepared by reaction ofthe readily available V-l with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate ((Boc)2O) in the presence of an acylation catalyst, preferably 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) or 4-- 5 pyrrolidinopyridine, in a neutral solvent, for example CE~3CN, THF, or CH2Cl2. The preparation of interm~ te V-5 begins with colll,ne,l~;ially available 3-iodobenzoic acid (V-3), which is converted to the ben7imi~1~7- 1e derivative V-4. According to this scheme, V-3 is reacted with isobutyl chloroformate in the presence of a suitable amine base, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, or 4-methylmorpholine,in a neutral solvent, generally CH2Cl2 or THF, to afford an interm~ te mixed anhydride delivalivt;.

Reaction of V-4 with bis(tributyltin) to produce V-5 occurs under palladium catalysis using, for example bis(triphenylphosphine)p~ m (II) chloride ((PPh3)2PdCl2), in an inert solvent, usually DMF. Stille-type coupling of V-2 with V-5 to afford V-6 is m~ ted by a p~ m catalyst, for instance bis(triphenylphosphine)p~ lm (II) chloride ((PPh3)2PdCl2), in the presence of copper (I) iodide (CuI), in a suitable neutral solvent, generally DMF. To obtain V-7, the protecting groups of V-6 are removed by well-established methods known to those of skill in the art and described in the previously cited Greene publication. Thus, the Boc protecting group is removed under acidic conditions, such as 4 M HCl in dioxane or TFA in CH2Cl2, and the methyl ester is hydrolyzed as generally described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of I-7 to I-8.

A phosphine ligand, such as triphenylphosphine (PPh3), can be added to improve the efficiency of the reaction.
Reduction of the acetylenic unit of VI-2 is accomplished under standard hydrogenation conditions which are well-known to those of skill in the art. The rçs-llting compound, VI-3, is oxididized to the corresponding carboxylic acid VI-4, by the two-step method described by Wovkulich (J. Org.

Conversion of the carboxylic acid of VI-4 to the ben7imid:~701e derivative VI-5 follows the procedures described in the above Schemes.

W O 97/24119 PCTrUS96/20748 Commercially available 4-pentenoic acid (VII-l) is converted to the bPn7imi~1~701e derivative VII -2 using to the general procedures described ,~ previously. Protection of one of the nitrogen atoms of the ben7.imid~7ole moiety in VII -2 can be accomplished by reaction with a sulfonyl chloride, for in~t~n~e p-5 toluenesulfonyl chloride, in the presence of a suitable base, generally sodium- hydride or an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide, in an inert solvent, preferably THF, to afford VII -3. ~Itern~tive protecting groups known to those of skill in the art may be used, as long as they are co~ ible with the subsequent chemistry and can be removed when desired. Such protecting groups are described in Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" (published by Wiley-Interscience). Oxidative cleavage of the olefin of VII -3 to afford the aldehyde VII -4 can be conveniently accomplished by ozonolysis in an inert solvent, usually CH2Cl2 or a ll~ Ul'~ of CH2Cl2 and MeOH, followed by in-situ reduction of the ozonide with a suitable reducing agent, generally dimethylsulfide (DMS) or triphenylphosphine. ~ltr.rn~tive mPthocl~ for oxidative cleavage, such as the Lemieux-Johnson reaction (J. Org.
Chem. 1956, 21, 478) can also be used. The aldehyde is converted to the aldoximeVII -5 by standard procedures known to those of skill in the art, and this aldoxime is oxi~li7ed to the oximinoyl chloride derivative VII -6 by the methods described in WO 95tl4682 and WO 95/14683. Reaction of VII -6 with an olefin, such as tert-butyl 3-butenoate (Tet. Lett. 198~;, 26, 381 -384), in the presence of a suitable base, for in.~t~n~e triethylamine or diusopropylethylarnine, in an inert solvent such as benzene or toluene, according to the protocol described in WO 95/14682 and WO
95/14683, gives the cycloadduct I-7. The tert-butyl ester of VII -7 is removed under standard acidic conditions, generally TFA in CH2Cl2 or HCl in dioxane, to give the carboxylic acid VII -8. The carboxylic acid is activated using, for example, EDCand HOBt, or SOCl2, and the activated form is subsequently reacted with an a~prupliate amine, for in.~tAn~e a suitable derivative of ~ nin~, in a neutral solvent, such as DMF, CH2Cl2, or CH3CN, to afford VII -9. Depending on whether acid neutralization is required, an added base, such as diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)2NEt) or pyridine, may be used. Many additional methods for converting a W O 97/24119 PCTrUS96/20748 carboxylic acid to an amide are known, and can be found in standard reference books, such as "Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods", Vol. I - VI (publishedby Wiley-Interscience), or Bodansky, "The Practice of Peptide Synthesis" (published by Springer-Verlag). Derivatives of ,13--alanine are readily available in either racemic 5 or optically pure form by a variety of methods known to those of skill in the art. A
reprçsent~tive method is described in WO 93/07867. The ethyl ester and sulfonyl protecting groups of VII -9 are removed using aqueous base, for example, LiOH inaqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol. The interm~ tf .

Amide coupling reagents as used herein denote reagents which may be used 15 to form peptide bonds. Typical coupling methods employ carbo-liimicles, activated anhydrides and esters and acyl halides. Reagents such as EDC, DCC, DPPA, PPA, BOP reagent, HOBt, N-hydroxysuccinimi(le 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
20 PRACTICE OF ~ SYNTHESIS, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1984, Ali et al. 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.
Typically, the amine or aniline is coupled via its free arnino group to an a~L.,~,iate carboxylic acid substrate using a suitable carbodiimide coupling agent, 25 such as N,N' dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC), optionally in the presence of catalysts such as l-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP). Other methods, such as the formation of activated esters, anhydrides or acid h~licles, of the free carboxyl of a suitably protected acid substrate, and subsequent reaction with the free amine of a suitably protected amine, optionally in 30 the presence of a base, are also suitable. For example, a protected Boc-amino acid or _9~

W O 97/24119 PCTrUS96/20748 Cbz-amidino benzoic acid is treated in an anhydrous solvent, such as methylene chloride or tetrahydrofuran(THF), in the presence of a base, such as N-methyl morpholine, DMAP or a trialkylamine, with isobutyl chlc,loroll,late to form the "activated anhydride", which is subsequently reacted with the free amine of a second 5 protected amino acid or aniline.
The compounds of formula (XIX) and (XX) are commercially available or are prepared by methods known in the art such as illustrated herein disclosed insta~ldard reference books, like the COMPENDIUM OF ORGANIC S~rHETIC METHODS, Vol. I-VI (Wiley-Interscience). A generally applicable route to ben7imifl~7oles is disclosed in Nestor et al, J. Med. Chem. 1984, 27, 320. Representative methods for preparing compounds of formula (XX) are also common to the art and may be found, for instance, in EP-A 0 381 033.
Acid addition salts of the compounds are prepared in a standard manner in a suitable solvent from the parent compound and an excess of an acid, such as 15 hydrochloric, hydl~lvll~ic, hydrofluoric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, trifluoroacetic, maleic, succinic or methanesulfonic. Certain of the compounds form inner salts or zwitterions which may be acceptable. Cationic salts are prepared by treating theparent compound with an excess of an ~lk~lint? reagent, such as a hydroxide, carbonate or alkoxide, containing the ~lupliate cation; or with an appl.,p~iate 20 organic amine. Cations such as Li+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++ and NH4+ are specific examples of cations present in ph~rms~reutir~lly acceptable salts.
- This invention also provides a pharm~-~entical composition which comprises a compound according to formula (I)-(V) and (XXI)-(XXII) and a ph~rm~reutically acceptable carrier. Accordingly, the compounds of formula (I)-(V) and (XXI)-25 (XXII) may be used in the m~nuf~tllre of a m~-lic~m~nt. Pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds of formula (I)-(V) and (XXI)-(XXII) prepared as hereinbefore described may be form~ te~l as solutions or lyophilized powders forparenteral ~rlmini~tration~ Powders may be recon.ctitnte~1 by addition of a suitable diluent or other ph~rm~entic~lly acceptable carrier prior to use. The liquid 30 fi~rm~ tion may be a buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution. Examples of suitable diluents are normal isotonic saline solution, standard 5% dextrose in water or _ g W O 97/24119 PCTrUS96t20748 buffered sodium or ammonium acetate solution. Such formulation is especially suitable for parenteral ~rlmini~tration, but may also be used for oral ~rlmini~tration or cont~inP~l in a metered dose inhaler or nebulizer for in~llffl~tion 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 emulsion or syrup for oral ~lmini~tration Ph~rm~eeutiç~lly acceptable solid or liquid carriers may be added to enh~nre or stabilize the composition, or to facilitate plG~ald~ion of the composition. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, calcium sulfate dihydrate, terra alba, m~gn~ m stearate or stearic acid, talc, pectin, acacia, agar or gelatin. Liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, saline and water.
The carrier may also include a sllct~inP~l release m~teri:~l 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 pl~l,aldLions are made following the conventional techniques of pharmacy involving milling, mixin~, gr:~n~ ting, and compressing, when necessary, for tablet forms; or milling, mixing and filling for hard gelatin capsule forms. When a liquid carrier is used, the ~lepaldlion will be in the form of a syrup, elixir, emulsion or an aqueous or non-aqueous suspension. Such a liquid fnrmnl~tion may be ~flmini.~tered directly p.o. or filled into a soft gelatin capsule.
For rectal ~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.
The compounds described herein are antagonists of the vitronectin receptor, and are useful for treating diseases whe~ the underlying pathology is attributable to ligand or cell which interacts with the viLIoile~;lin receptor. For instance, these compounds are useful for the treatment of diseases wherein loss of the bone matrix creates pathology. Thus, the instant compounds are useful for the tre~tment of ostoeporosis, hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia of mz~ n~3ncy,- 30 osteolytic lesions produced by bone m~t~t~ , bone loss due to immobilization or sex hormone deficiency. The compounds of this invention are also believed to have 9~

W O 97/24119 PCTrUS96/20748 utility as ~ntitl~mor, anti-angiogenic, ~ntiinfl~mm~tory and anti-mPt~t~tic agents, and be useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis and restenosis.
The compound is ~lmini~tered either orally or L)a-ellLe,dlly to the patient, in a manner such that the concentration of drug is sufficient to inhibit bone resorption, or S other such indication. The ph:lrm~re~lti(~l composition cont~ining the peptide is ~lmini~tered at an oral dose of between about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg in a manner conci~tent with the condition of the patient. Preferably the oral dose would be about 0.5 to about 20 mg/kg. For acute therapy, parenteral ~r~ . alion is prefeilcd. An intravenous infusion of the peptide in 5% dextrose in water or normal saline, or a 10 similar formulation with suitable excipients, is most effective, although an cc~ r bolus injection is also useful. Typically, the parenteral dose will be about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg; preferably between 0.1 and 20 mg/l~g. The compounds are ~lmini~tered one to four times daily at a level to achieve a total daily dose of about 0.4 to about 400 mg/kg/day. The precise level and method by which 15 the compounds are ~lmini.~tf red is readily fletermin~d by one routinely skilled in the art by comparing the blood level of the agent to the concentration required to have a therapeutic effect.
The compounds may be tested in one of several biological assays to determine the concentration of compound which is required to have a given 20 I)h~ ological effect.

Tnhi'~it JI~ of vilrv~ binding Solid-Phase [3H7-sK&F-107260 Binding to av~3: Human placenta or human platelet av~B3 (0.1-0.3 mg/mL) in buffer T (cont~ining 2 mM CaC12 and I %
octylglucoside) was diluted with buffer T collt;1i.. i.. g 1 mM CaC12, 1 mM MnC12, 1 mM MgC12 (buffer A) and 0.05% NaN3, and then imm~ t~ly added to 96-well ELISA plates (Corning, New York, NY) at 0.1 rnL per weIl. 0.1 - 0.2 ~g of ocv,133 was added per well. The plates were incubated overnight at 4~C. At the time of the experiment, the wells were washed once with buffer A and were incubated with 0.1 mL of 3.5% bovine serum alburnin in the same buffer for 1 hr at room W O 97/24119 PCT~US96/20748 telllpeldLuie. Following in~nb:~tion the wells were aspirated completely and washed twice with 0.2 mL buffer A.
Compounds were dissolved in 100% DMSO to give a 2 mM stock solution, which was diluted with binding buffer (15 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaC12, 1 mM MnC12, 1 mM MgC12) to a final compound concentration of 100,uM. This solution is then diluted to the required final compound concentration.
Various concentrations of unlabeled antagonists (0.001 - 100 ~M) were added to the wells in triplicates, followed by the addition of 5.0 nM of [3H]-SK&F-107260 (65 -86 Ci/mmol).
The plates were incubated for 1 hr at room lelllpeldLul~. Following incubation the wells were aspirated completely and washed once with 0.2 mL of ice cold buffer A in a well-to-well fashion. The receptors were solubilized with 0.1 mL
of 1% SDS and the bound [3H]-SK&F-107260 was determin~-1 by liquid scin~ tion counting with the addition of 3 mL Ready Safe in a Beckman LS Liquid Scintill~tic~n Counter, with 40% efficiency. Nonspecific binding of [3H3-SK~F-107260 was ~et~rmined in the presence of 2 ,uM SK&F-107260 and was consistently less than 1 % of total radioligand input. The ICso (concentration of the antagonist to inhibit 50% binding of [3H]-SK&F-107260) was determined by a nonlinear, least squares curve-fitting routine, which was modified from the LUNDON-2 program.
The Ki (dissociation constant of the antagonist) was calculated according to theequation: Ki = ICso/( l + L/Kd), where L and Kd were the concentration and the dissociation constant of [3H]-SK&F-107260, respectively.
Compounds of the present invention inhibit vitronectin binding to SK&F
107260 in the concentration range of about 0.001 to 50 micromolar.
Compounds of this invention are also tested for in vitro and in vivo bone resorption in assays standard in the art for ev~ ting inhibition of bone formation, such as the pit formation assay disclosed in EP 528 587, which may also be performed using human osteoclasts in place of rat osteoclasts, and the ovarectomi7ed - rat model. described by Wronski et al., Cells and Materials 1991, Sup. 1, 69-74.

_95 W O 97124119 PCT~US96/20748 Vascular smooth linuscle cell ~ ..lion assay Rat or human aortic smooth muscle cells were used. The cell migration was monitored in a Transwell cell culture chamber by using a polycarbonate membrane with pores of 8 um (Costar). The lower surface of the filter was coated with vitronectin. Cells were suspended in DMEM supplemented with 0.2% bovine serum albumin at a concentration of 2.5 - 5.0 x 106 cells/mL, and were pretreated with test compound at various concentrations for 20 min at 20~C. The solvent alone was used as control. 0.2 mL of the cell suspension was placed in the upper c~ nlent of the chamber. The lower co~ lllent contained 0.6 rnL of DMEM supplemented with 0.2% bovine serum albumin. lncubation was carried out at 37~C in an atmosphere of 95% air/5% CO2 for 24 hr. After incubation, the non-migrated cellson the upper surface of the f1lter were removed by gentle scraping. The filter was then fixed in methanol and stained with 10% Giemsa stain. Migration was measuredeither by a) counting the number of cells that had rnigrated to the lower surface of the filter or by b) extracting the stained cells with 10% acetic acid followed by ~terrninin~ the absorbance at 600 nM.

PARATHYROIDE~TOMIZED RAT MODEL
Each experimental group consists of 5-6 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats are parathyroidectomized (by the vendor, Taconic Farms) 7 days prior to use. Twenty four hours prior to use, circ~ tin~ ionized calcium levels are measured in whole blood immediately after it has been withdrawn by tail venipuncture into hep~rini7f r1 tubes. Rats are included if ionized Ca level (measured with a Ciba-Corning model 634 calcium pH
analyzer) is _1.2 mM/L. The rats are then put on a diet of calcium-free chow anddeionized water. At the start of the experiment the rats weigh approximately 100g.
Baseline Ca levels are measured and the rats are ~irnini~tered control vehicle (saline) or compound (dissolved in saline) as a single intravenous (tail vein) bolus injection followed r im mf.~ t~ly by a single ~ubc~lt:~nPous injection of either human paldlhyl~id hormone 1-34 peptide (hPI'Hl-34, dose 0.2mg/kg in saline/0.1% bovine serum albumen, Bachem, Ca) _9~_ W O97/24119 PCT~US~6120748 or the PTH vehicle. The calcemic response to PTH (and any effect of compound on this response) is measured 2h after co~ oulld/PTH allmini~tration.
.
RAT ULNA DRII~T MODEL

Each experimental group consists of 8-10 male Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats of aL~plo~illlately 30-40g body weight at the start of the e~elilllent. The agent being tested is ~rlmini~trred by an a~prop.iate route as single or multiple daily doses for a period of seven days. Prior to ~lmini~tration of the first dose, the rats are given a single dose of a 10 fluorescent marker (tetracycline 25mg/lcg, or calcein lOmg/lcg) that labels the position of bone forming surfaces at that point in time. After dosing of compound has been completed, the rats are killed and both forelimbs are removed at the elbow, the foot is removed at the ankle and the skin removed. The sample is frozen and mounted vertically on a microtome chuck. Cross sections of the mi(l~h~ft region of the ulna are cut in the 15 cryostat. The rate of bone resorption is measured morphom~-tric~lly in the medial-dorsal portion of the cortical bone. The mea~ule.llellt is done as follows: the amount of bone resorbed at the periosteal surface is equal to the t1ict~nre by which the periosteal surface has advanced towards the fluorescent label which had been incorporated at the endosteal bone formation surface on day zero; this fli~t~nre is calculated by subtracting the width of 20 bone between the label and the periosteal surface on day 7 from the width on day zero; the resorption rate in microns per day is calculated by dividing the result by 7.

Human o~leo~lr--l le3~ ~io.. and adhesion assavs 30 Pit resorption and adhesion assays have been developed and standardized usingnormal human osteoclasts derived from osteoclastoma tissue. The osteoclast _99_ W O 97/24119 PCT~US96/20748 population is negatively selected from the osteoclastoma cell suspensions using magnetic beads (Dynal Inc, NY). These beads are coated with a murine monoclonal antibody that recognizes a hurnan class II major histocompatihility antigen that is present on a large number of mononuclear cells in the cell suspensions. The cells 5 that express this antigen, and consequently bind the beads, are removed from the mixture of cells using a m~n~t The osteoclast-rich suspension is then ready to use in the assays det~ below.

Resor~lio.- sssay (with ELISA readout) 10 Enriched preparations of osteoclasts are preincubated for 30 minllfes at 37~C with test compound (4 doses) or controls. They are then seeded onto bovine cortical bone slices in wells of a 48-well tissue culture plate and are in~ubat-~-l for a further 2 hours at 37nC. The bone slices are washed in six changes of warm phosphate buffered saline (PBS), to remove non-adherent cells, and are then returned to wells of a 48 15 well plate con~ining fresh compound or controls. The tissue culture plate is then incubated for 48 hours at 37"C. The supern~t~n~c from each well are aspirated into individual tubes and are screened in a cornpetitive ELISA that detects a collagen peptide that is released during the resorption process. This is a commercially available ELISA (Osteometer, Denmark) that contains a rabbit antibody that 20 specifically reacts with an 8-amino acid se~uence (Glu-Lys-Ala-His- Asp-Gly-Gly-Arg) that is present in the carboxy-tçrmin~l telopeptide of the al-chain of type I

25 Adhesion assay Osteoclastoma-derived osteoclasts are preincubated with compound (4 doses) or controls at 37~C for 30 minutes. The cells are then seeded onto osteopontin-coated slides (human or rat osteopontin, 2.5ug/ml) and incubated for 2 hours at 37~C. Non adherent cells are removed by washing the slides vigorously in P~S and the cells30 r~m~ining on the slides are fixed in acetone. The osteoclasts are stained for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), a selective marker for cells of this phenotype, and are enumerated by light microscopy. The results are expressed as % inhibition of adhesion colll~alcd to a vehicle control.

The lysate was centrifuged at lOO,OOOg for 1 h. The sUpprn~t~nt 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 rnL cold buffer A. The lectin-retained GPIIb-IIIa was eluted withbuffer A containing 10% dextrose. All procedures were performed at 4~C. The GPIIb-IIIa obtained was >95% pure as shown by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis .

Incorporation of GPIIb-IIIa in Liposomes.
A mixture 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/rnL and mixed with the phospholipids in a protein:phospholipid ratio of 1:3 (w:w). The mixture was resuspended and sonicated in a bath sonicator for 5 min. The mixturewas then dialyzed overnight using 12,000- 14,000 molecular weight cutoff dialysis tubing 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-cont~ining liposomes wee centrifuged at 12,000g for 1~ min and resuspended in the dialysis buffer at a final protein concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL. The liposomes were stored at -70C until needed.

Competitive Binding to GPIIb-IIIa The binding to the fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb-ma) was assayed by an indirect competitive binding method using [3H]-SK&F-107260 as an RGD-type ligand. The binding assay was performed in a 96-well filtration plate assembly (Millipore Corporation, 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 35 binding. Various concentrations of unlabeled ben7~ 7~rines were added to the -1~1-CA 0224l633 l998-06-26 W O 97/24119 PCT~US96/20748 wells in quadruplicate. [3H]-SK&F-IQ7260 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-IIIa-cont~ining liposomes. The mi~ulcs were incubated for 1 h at room tel,,pcldture. The GPIIb-ma-bound [3H]-SK&F-107260 was seperated from the S unbound by filtration using a Millipore filtration manifold, followed by washing with ice-cold buffer (2 times, each 0.2 rnL). Bound radioactivity rem:~ining on the filters was counted in 1.5 mL Ready Solve (Beckm~n Instr lm~nt~, Fullerton, CA) in a Beckman Liquid Scintillation Counter (Model LS6800), with 40% efficiency.
Nonspecific binding was ~et~ in.o~t in the presence of 2 ,uM unlabeled SK&F-107260 and was con~i~te-ntly less than 0.14% of the total radioactivity added to the samples. All data points are the mean of quadruplicate ~leterrnin~tions.
Competition binding data were analyzed by a nonlinear least-squares curve fitting procedure. This method provides the IC50 of the antagonists (concentration of the antagonist which inhibits specific binding of [3H]-SK&F-107260 by 50% at equilibrium). The IC50 is related to the equilibrium dissociation constant (Ki) of the antagonist based on the Cheng and Prusoff equation: Ki =
IC50/(l~L/Kd), where L is the concentration of t3H~-SK&F-107260 used in the co~llpeLiLive binding assay (4.5 nM), and Kd is the dissociation constant of r3H]-SK&P-107260 which is 4.5 nM as ~ rmin~l by Scatchard analysis Compounds of the present invention inhibit the vitronectin binding to SK&P
007260 with a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is about ten-fold greater than that for the fibrinogen receptor. Preferred compounds have a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is thirty-fold greater than that at the fibrinogen receptor. The most preferred compounds have a Ki at the vitronectin receptor that is a hundred-foldgreater than that at the fibrinogen receptor.
