Description

LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT BICYCLIC
THROMBIN INHIBITORS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to compounds useful for the
treatment of thrombotic disorders, and more particularly to novel heterocyclic inhibitors of the enzyme thrombin.
BACKGROUND
Inordinate thrombus formation on blood vessel walls precipitates acute cardiovascular disease states that are the chief cause of death in economically developed
societies. Plasma proteins such as fibrinogen, proteases and cellular receptors participating in hemostasis have emerged as important factors that play a role in acute and chronic coronary disease as well as cerebral artery disease by contributing to the formation of thrombus or blood clots that effectively diminish normal blood flow and supply. Vascular aberrations stemming from primary pathologic states such as hypertension, rupture of
atherosclerotic plaques or denuded endothelium, activate cijcnemicai cascades that serve to respond and repair the injury site. Thrombin is a key regulatory enzyme in the coagulation cascade; it serves a pluralistic role as both a positive and negative feedback regulator. However, in pathologic conditions the former is amplified through catalytic activation of cofactors required for thrombin generation as well as activation of factor XIII necessary for fibrin cross-linking and stabilization.
In addition to its direct effect on hemostasis, thrombin exerts direct effects on diverse cell types that support and amplify pathogenesis of arterial thrombus disease. The enzyme is the strongest activator of platelets causing them to aggregate and release substances (eg. ADP TXA NE) that further propagate the thrombotic cycle. Platelets in a fibrin mesh comprise the principal framework of a white thrombus. Thrombin also exerts direct effects on
endothelial cells causing release of vasoconstrictor substances and translocation of adhesion molecules that become sites for attachment of immune cells. In addition, the enzyme causes mitogenesis of smooth muscle cells and proliferation of fibroblasts. From this analysis, it is apparent that inhibition of thrombin activity constitutes a viable therapeutic approach towards the attenuation of proliferative events associated with thrombosis.
The principal endogenous neutralizing factor for thrombin activity in mammals is antithrombin III (ATIII), a
circulating plasma macroglobulin having low affinity for the enzyme. Heparin exerts clinical efficacy in venous thrombosis by enhancing ATIII/thrombin binding through catalysis. However, heparin also catalyzes inhibition of other proteases in the coagulation cascade and its
efficacy in platelet-dependent thrombosis is largely reduced or abrogated due to inaccessibility of thrombus-bound enzyme. Adverse side effects such as
thrombocytopenia, osteoporosis and triglyceridemia have been observed following prolonged treatment with heparin.
Hirudin, derived from the glandular secretions of the leech hiridσ medicinalis is one of the high molecular weight natural anticoagulant protein inhibitors of
thrombin activity (Markwardt F. Cardiovascular Drug
Reviews, 10, 211, 1992). It is a biopharmaceutical that has demonstrated efficacy in experimental and clinical thrombosis. A potential drawback to the use of Hirudin as a therapeutic agent is likely antigenicity and lack of an effective method of neutralization, especially in view of its extremely tight binding characteristics toward
thrombin. The exceedingly high affinity for thrombin is unique and is attributed to a simultaneous interaction with the catalytic site as well as a distal "anion binding exosite" on the enzyme. Thrombin activity can also be abrogated by Hirudin-like molecules such as hirulog (Maraganore, J.M. et al.,
Biochemistry, 23, 7095, 1990) or hirutonin peptides
(DiMaio, J. et al., J. Med. Chem., 35, 3331, 1992). Thrombin activity can also be inhibited by low molecular weight compounds that compete with fibrinogen for
thrombin's catalytic site, thereby inhibiting proteolysis of that protein or other protein substrates such as the thrombin receptor. A common strategy for designing enzyme inhibitory compounds relies on mimicking the specificity inherent in the primary and secondary structure of the enzyme's natural substrate. Thus, Blomback et al . first designed a thrombin inhibitor that was modeled upon the partial sequence of the fibrinogen A(LBi)0c chain comprising its proteolytically susceptible region (Blomback, et al., J. Clin. Lab. Invest., 24 , 59, 1969). This region of fibrinogen minimally includes the residues commencing with phenylalanine: Ala-Asp-Ser-Gly-Glu-Gly-Asp-Phe-Leu-Ala-Glu-Gly
-Gly-Gly-Val-Arg-Gly-Pro-Arg
↑ scissile bond
Systematic replacement of amino acids within this region has led to optimization of the tripeptidyl inhibitory sequence exemplified by the peptide (D)-Phe-Pro-Arg which corresponds to interactions within the P -P -P local binding sites on
thrombin (Bajusz S. et al. in Peptides: Chemistry
Structure and Biology: Proceedings of the Fourth American Peptide Symposium, Walter R., Meienhofer J. Eds. Ann Arbor Science Publishers Inc., Ann Arbor MI, 1975, pp 603).
Bajusz et al. have also reported related compounds such as (D)Phe-Fro-Arg-(CO)H (GYKI-14166) and (D)MePhe-Pro-Arg-(CO)H (GYKI-14766) (Peptides-Synthesis, Structure and Function: Proceedings of the Seventh American Peptide Symposium, Rich, D.H. & Gross, E. eds., Pierce Chemical Company , 1981, pp. 417). These tripeptidyl aldehydes are effective thrombin inhibitors both in vi tro and in vivo . In the case of both GYKI-14166 and GYKI-14766, the
aldehyde group is presumed to contribute strongly to inhibitory activity in view of its chemical reactivity toward thrombin's catalytic Ser residue, generating a hemiacetal intermediate.
Related work in the area of thrombin inhibitory activity has exploited the basic recognition binding motif
engendered by the tripeptide (D)Phe-Pro-Arg while
incorporating various functional or reactive groups in the locus corresponding to the putative scissile bond (i.e. P1-P1').
In U.S. Patent 4,318,904, Shaw reports chloromethyl-ketones (PPACK) that are reactive towards Ser and His . These two residues comprise part of thrombin's catalytic triad (Bode, W. et al., EMBO Journal 8 , 3467, 1989) .
Other examples of thrombin inhibitors bearing the (D)Phe-Pro-Arg general motif are those incorporating COOH- terminal boroarginine variants such as boronic acids or boronates (Kettner, C. et al., J. Biol. Chem., 268, 4734, 1993). Still other congeners of this motif are those bearing phosphonates (Wang, C-L J., Tetrahedron Letters, ll, 7667, 1992) and α-Keto esters (Iwanowicz, E.J. et al., Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 12, 1607, 1992).
Neises, B. et al. have described a trichloromethyl ketone thrombin inhibitor (MDL-73756) and Attenburger, J.M. et al . have revealed a related difluoro alkyl amide ketone (Tetrahedron Letters, 32, 7255, 1991).
Maraganore et al. (European 0,333,356; WO 91/02750; U.S. 5,196,404) disclose a series of thrombin inhibitors that incorporate the D-Phe-Pro- moiety and hypothesize that this preferred structure fits well within the groove adjacent to the active site of thrombin. Variations on these inhibitors are essentially linear or cyclic peptides built upon the D-Phe-Pro moiety.
Another series of patents and patent applications have described attempts to develop effective inhibitors against thrombosis by using alpha-ketoamides and peptide aldehyde analogs (EP 0333356;WO 93/15756; WO 93/22344; WO 94/08941; WO 94/17817).
Still others have focused their attention on peptides, peptide derivatives, peptidic alcohols, or cyclic peptide; as anti-thrombotic agents (WO 93/22344, EP 0276014; EP C341607; EP 0291982). Others have examined amidine sulfonic acid moieties to achieve this same end (U.S.
4,781,866), while yet others have examined para or meta substituted phenlyalanine derivatives (WO 92/08709; WO 92/6549) .
A series of Mitsubishi patents and patent applications have disclosed apparently effective argininamide compounds for use as antithrombotic agents. The chemical structures described in these documents represent variations of side groups on the argininamide compound (U.S. 4,173,630; U.S. 4,097,591; CA 1,131,621; U.S. 4,096,255; U.S. 4,046,876; U.S. 4,097,472; CA 2,114,153) .
Canadian patent applications 2,076,311 and 2,055,850 disclose cyclic imino derivatives that exhibit inhibitory effects on cellular aggregation.
Many of the examples cited above are convergent by
maintaining at least a linear acyclic tripeptidyl motif consisting of an arginyl unit whose basic side chain is required for interaction with a carboxylate group located at the base of the P specificity cleft in thrombin. Two adjacent hydrophobic groups provide additional binding through favourable Van der Waals interactions within a contiguous hydrophobic cleft on the enzyme surface
designated the P -P site.
One object of the present invention is to provide thrombin inhibitors that display inhibitory activity towards the target enzyme, thrombin.
A further object of the present invention is to provide thrombin inhibitors that display inhibitory activity towards the target enzyme thrombin and are provided for in s pnarmacologically acceptable state.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide for the use of heterocyclic thrombin inhibitors and formulations thereof as anticoagulant and thrombin inhibitory agents.
Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide for the use of heterocyclic thrombin inhibitors and formulations thereof for therapeutic treatment of various thrombotic maladies . A further object of the present invention is a process for the synthesis of these low molecular weight thrombin inhibitors. The enzyme inhibitors of the present invention are encompassed by the structure of general Formula I.

Step 1:
The alkylation of a is done with appropriate bases
according to the procedures described in Evans et al (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1981, 103, 2127; ibid, 1982, 104, 1737; Aldrichimica Acta, 1982, 15, 23) to give b.
Step 2 :
Compound b upon hydroboration and oxidation following conditions available in the literature (Synthesis, 1980, 151) results in the aldehyde c.
Step 3 :
The formation of adduct e. from aldehyde c with d is done by stirring the reactant in aromatic solvents e.g. benzene or toluene in presence of catalytic amount of suitable acid e.g, p-toluenesulfonic acid.
Step 3':
The inter conversion of aldehyde c to aldehyde g is readily achieved by appropriate protection deprotection protocals found in T. Greene, Protective Groups In Organic Synthesis, (John Wiley & Sons, 1981).
Step 4 :
Tne cylization of adduct e to f may readily be achieved by appropriate Lewis acids e.g, trimethyl aluminum in suitable solvents e.g. dichloromethane, the methodology found in T. Greene, supra. Step 4':
Alternatively, the compound f can be derived from the treatment of aldehyde g with d in presence of suitable aromatic solvents e.g, benzene. Step 5:
The ester function (-C(O)O-R ) of the bicyclic
intermediate of formula f is then subjected to hydrolysation using an appropriate agent such as HCl in an appropriate solvent such as ethyl ether to yield to the free carboxylic acid . The resulting compound is then coupled to R1H with a peptide coupling agent such as BOP in an appropriate solvent such as DMF to yield to a bicyclic coupled compound of formula (VIII). Suitable conditions for peptide bond formation are well known in th art of peptide chemistry. For example see Principles of Peptide Synthesis, Bodanszky M., Springer-Verlag, Berlin,

The process in scheme 2 is briefly described as follows:
STEP 1:
The amino and carboxylic functions of the unsaturated compound of formula (a) are protected with appropriate protecting groups. A variety of protecting groups known for reactive functional groups and suitable protection and deprotection protocols may be found in T. Greene,
Protective Groups In Organic Synthesis. (John Wiley & Sons, 1981) . The appropriate protecting group to use in a particular synthetic scheme will depend on many factors, including the presence of other reactive functional groups and the reaction conditions desired for removal . The unsaturated compound of formula is easily obtained by methods and protocols known to chemist skill on the art. The protected unsaturated compound of formula (a) is subjected to appropriate conditions to allow cyclisation using an appropriate reagent such as mercuric acetate in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) to yield to a protected amino alcohol of formula (b) .
STEP 2
The protected amino alcohol of formula (b) is oxidized using an appropriate oxidizing agent such as sulfur trioxide pyridine complex in an appropriate solvent such as diclhoromethane or dimethylformamide to yield to a protected amino aldehyde of formula (c) . Alternatively, intermediate (C) can be made by the ozonolysis of a compound of formula (a') prepared according to Collado et al, J. Org. Chem.,1995, 60:5011. STEP 3
The protected amino aldehyde of formula (c) is coupled with an amino acid alkyl ester of formula (d) by first forming the imine followed by contacting the obtained imine with an appropriate reagent such as sodium
triacetoxy borohydride NaBH(OAc) to yield to a cyclic intermediate of formula (e). STEP 4
The cyclic intermediate of formula (e) is functionalized at the amino position to yield to the amino substituted cyclic intermediate of formula (f). Conditions appropriate for such reactions are well known in the art and will depend on the nature of the R5 substituent.
STEP 5
The amino protecting group of the cyclic intermediate of formula (f) is removed under appropriate conditions and the resulting compound is then subjected to appropriate condition for internal ring closure such as low heat in an inert solvent or as a raw compound to yield to a bicyclic intermediate of formula (g). The bicyclic intermediate of formula (g) can also be obtained by hydrolysing the ester function (-C(O)O-R20) of the cyclic intermediate of formula (g) to the free carboxylic acid followed by standard peptide coupling using an appropriate coupling reagent such as benzotriazole-1-yloxy-tris- (dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) in an inert solvent such as dimethyl formamide (DMF).
STEP 6
The ester function (-C(O)O-R21) of the bicyclic
intermediate of formula (g) is then subjected to
hydrolysation using an appropriate agent such as HCl in an appropriate solvent such as ethyl ether to yield to the free carboxylic acid. The resulting compound is then coupled to R1H with a peptide coupling agent such as BOP in an appropriate solvent such as DMF to yield to a bicyclic coupled compound of formula (VIII).

intermediate of formula (d) is subjected to hydrolysis using an appropriate agent such as lithium hydroxide

Compounds of the present invention are further
characterized by their ability to inhibit the catalytic activity of thrombin, which is demonstrated in the assay as follows. Compounds of the present invention may be prepared for assay by dissolving them in buffer to give solutions ranging in concentrations from 1 to 100μM. In an assay to determine the inhibitory dissociation
constant, K, for a given compound, a chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate of thrombin would be added to a solution containing a test compound and thrombin; the resulting catalytic activity of the enzyme would be spectrophotometrically determined. This type of assay is well known to those skilled in the art.
The compounds of the present invention may be used as anti-coagulants in vi tro or ex vivo as in the case of contact activation with foreign thrombogenic surfaces such as is found in tubing used in extracorporeal shunts. The compounds of the invention may also be used to coat the surface of such thrombogenic conduits. To this end, the compounds of the invention are obtained as lyophilized powders, redissolved in isotonic saline and added in an amount sufficient to maintain blood in an anticoagulated state.
The therapeutic agents of the present invention may be administered alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The proportion of each carrier is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, the route of administration, and standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, the compounds may be injected parenterally; this being intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously. For parenteral
administration, the compound may be used in the form of sterile solutions containing other solutes, for example, sufficient saline or glucose to make the solution
isotonic . The compounds may be administered orally in the form of tablets, capsules, or granules containing suitable excipients such as starch, lactose, white sugar and the like. The compounds may also be administered sublingually in the form of troches or lozenges in which each active ingredient is mixed with sugar or corn syrups, flavouring agents and dyes, and then dehydrated sufficiently to make the mixture suitable for pressing into solid form. The compounds may be administered orally in the form of solutions which may contain colouring and/ or flavouring agents .
Physicians will determine the dosage of the present therapeutic agents which will be most suitable. Dosages may vary with the mode of administration and the
particular compound chosen. In addition, the dosage may vary with the particular patient under treatment.
When the composition is administered orally, a larger quantity cf the active agent will typically be required to produce the same effect as caused with a smaller quantity-given parenterally.
To further assist in understanding the present invention, the following non-limiting examples of such thrombin inhibitory compounds are provided. The following
examples, of course, should not be construed as
specifically limiting the present invention, variations presently known or later developed, which would be within the purview of one skilled in the art and considered to fall within the scope of the present invention as
described herein.

EXAMPLE 9
Determination of K Values for Heterocyclics
The affinity cf inhibitors for thrombin was measured
according to the procedures described in (DiMaio et al , J. Bio. Chem., 1990, 265:21698) Inhibition of amidolytic activity of human thrombin was measured fluorometrically using Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-AMC as a fluorogenic substrate in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.52 at 37°C) containing 0.1 M NaCl and 0.1% poly (ethylene glycol) 8000 at room temperature, and (Szewczuk et al . , Biochemistry, 1992 31:9132). The hydrolysis of the substrate by thrombin was monitored on a Varian-Cary 2000™ spectrophotometer in the
fluorescence mode (λeX = 383 nm, λem = 455 nm) or on a Hitachi F2000™ fluorescence spectrophotometer (λer = 383 nm, λer = 455 nm), and the fluorescent intensity was calibrated using AMC . The reaction reached a steady-state within 3 minutes after mixing thrombin with the substrate and an inhibitor. The steady-state velocity was then measured for a few minutes . The compounds of this invention were also pre- incubated with thrombin for 20 minutes at room
temperature before adding the substrate. The steady-state was achieved within 3 min and measured for a few min. The kinetic data (the steady-state velocity at various
concentrations of the substrate and the inhibitors) of the competitive inhibition was analyzed using the methods described by Segel (1975). A non-linear regression program, RNLIN in the IMSL library (IMSL, 1987), LMDER in MINPACK library (More et al., 1980) or Microsoft™ Excell™ , was used to estimate the kinetic parameters (Kn Vn, and K ) . dTT assay The fibrin clotting assay was performed in 50 mM Tris HCl buffer (pH 7.52 at 37 °C) containing 0.1 M NaCl and 0.1% poly (ethylene glycol) 8000 with 9.0 × 10-10 M (0.1 NIH unit/mL) and 0.03 % (w/v) of the final concentrations of human thrombin and bovine fibrinogen, respectively, as reported elsewhere (Szewczuk et al., supra). The clotting time was plotted against the inhibitor concentrations and the IC50 was estimated as the inhibitor concentration required to double the clotting time relative to the control. Results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2 below.
Fibrin Clot Assay
The fibrin clot assay was performed essentially as
described by Krtenansky et al, FEBS, 1987, 211:10. A serial dilution of the inhibitor was prepared in 50 mM tris HCl buffer (pH7.8 at 23 ºC) containing 0. IM NaCl and 0.1% (w/v) polyethylene glycol 8000. Human plasma (60uL, collected in 3.8% sodium citrate, blood/anticoagulant 9:1) was added to microtiter wells (microtiter plate, Falcon) containing 100μL of various inhibitor dilutions. The solution was mixed after which 50μL of human thrombin (InM final cone.) was added and mixed for 15 seconds. The turbidity of the clot was immediately monitored by
microplate autoreader (Dynateck MR 5000) at 405nm and recorded every 3 min. The maximal turbidity in the absence of inhibitors was reached within a 60 min. IC values were calculated at 30 minutes as the inhibitor concentration that gave half the optical density of the control.
Platelet Aggregation and Secretion
Rat blood was collected into ACD (6/1 v/v) by cardiac puncture. Suspensions of washed platelets were prepared as described by Ardlie et al, (Br. J. Haematol. 1970, 19:7 and Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 1971, 136:1021). The final suspending medium was a modified Tyrode solution (NaCl 138mM, KCl 2.9mM, HEPES 20mM, NaH.PO. 0.42mM, NaHCO 12mM, CaCl ImM, MgCl 2mM, 0.1% glucose, 0.35% albumin, apyrase lμL/mL pH 7.4). Platelet counts were adjusted to 5000,000/uL.
To permit measurement of the extent of release of the contents of the dense granules, the platelets were
labelled in the first washing solution with 14C-serotonin (5-HT) (lμCi/10mL of washing fluid) and release of 14C-serotonin was determined as described in Holmsen et al, (Enzymology, 1989, 169:206). Inipramine (5μM final cone.) was added to present the reuptake of released serotonin.
Platelet aggregation was recorded at 37ºC in an
aggregometer (BioData PAP-4) at a stirring speed of 1,100 rpm by measuring the variations of light transmission.
Percentage of aggregation was determined 3 min. after the addition of the stimulating agent (human thrombin 0. lIU/mL final cone.). Inhibitors were preincubated 1 minute at 37ºC before addition of stimulating agent. IC50 values represent the concentration that was necessary to inhibit platelet aggregation or secretion to 50% of the control
Arterial Thrombosis Model
FeCl Induced Carotid Arterial Injury Model
The FeCl induced injury to the carotid artery in rats was induced according to the method described by Kurz, K.D., Main, R.W., Sandusky, G.E., Thrombosis Research 60; 269-280, 1990 and Schumacher, W.A. et al. J. Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics 267; 1237-1242, 1993. Male, Sprague-Dawley rats ( 375-410 g) were anesthetized with urethane ( 1500 mg\kg ip). Animals were laid on a 37°C heating pad. The carotid artery was exposed through a midline cervical incision. Careful blunt dissection was used to isolate the vessel from the carotid sheath. Using forceps, the artery was lifted to provide sufficient clearance to insert two small pieces of polyethylene tubing (PE-205 ) underneath it. A temperature probe
(Physitemp MT23/3) was placed between one of the pieces of tubing and the artery. Injury was induced by topical application on the carotid artery above the temperature probe of a small disc (3 mm dia.) of Whatman No .1 filter paper previously dipped in a 35% solution of FeCl3. The incision area was covered with aluminum foil in order to protect the FeCl from degradation by light. The vessel temperature was monitored for 60 minutes after application of FeCl3 as an indication of blood flow. Vessel
temperature changes were recorded on a thermister (Cole-Palmer Model 08533-41).
The time between the FeCl application and the time at which the vessel temperature decreased abruptly (>2.4°C) was recorded as the time to occlusion of the vessel.
Inhibitor compounds were given as an iv bolus (mg/kg) followed immediately by an iv infusion (μg/kg/min. via femoral vein) . The dose of inhibitor needed to double the time to occlusion in comparison to control animals in which injury was induced in the absence of inhibitor was determined .
