solvent, at temperatures between -30 and 100C, but
preferably at temperatures between -10 and 80C.
During the reactions described hereinbefore, reactive
groups such as hydroxy, carboxy, amino, alkylamino or
imino groups may be protected by means of conventional
protecting groups which are removed by cleaving after
the reaction.
For example, the protective group for a hydroxy group '-
may be a trimethylsilyl, acetyl, benzoyl, tert.butyl,
trityl, benzyl or tetrahydropyranyl group,
the protecting group for a carboxyl group may be a
trimethylsilyl, methyl, ethyl, tert.butyl, benzyl or `~ -
tetrahydropyranyl group, and the protecting group for an
amino, alkylamino or imino group may be an acetyl,
trifluoroacetyl, benzoyl, ethoxycarbonyl, tert.- -
butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl, methoxybenzyl
or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group and for the amino group a
phthalyl group may also be considered.
The optional subsequent cleaving of a protecting group
may, for example, be carried out hydrolytically in an
aqueous solvent, e.g. in water, isopropanol/water,
tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxane/water, in the presence
of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric
acid or sulphuric acid or in the presence of an alkali
metal base such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide
or potassium hydroxide or by ether cleaving, e.g. in the
presence of iodotrimethylsilane, at temperatures between

- 22 _ 2 1 1 ~ ~ ,3 ~
0 and 100C, preferably at temperatures between 10 and
50C.
However, a benzyl, methoxybenzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl
group may for example be cleaved hydrogenolytically, eg.
using hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as
palladium/charcoal in a solvent such as methanol,
ethanol, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide, -
dimethylformamide/acetone or glacial acetic acid,
optionally with the addition of an acid such as
hydrochloric acid, at temperatures between 0 and 50C,
but preferably at ambient temperature, under a hydrogen
pressure of 1 to 7 bar, preferably 3 to 5 bar. During
hydrogenolytic cleaving of benzyl groups, any CzC-
double bonds present in a compound of formula II may
simultaneously be hydrogenated. For example, an N-
benzyl-dehydro-piperidyl group may be converted into a
piperidyl group in this way. -
A methoxybenzyl group may also be cleaved in the
presence of an oxidising agent such as cerium(IV)-
ammonium nitrate, in a solvent such as methylene
chloride, acetonitrile or acetonitrile/water, at
temperatures between 0 and 50C, but preferably at
ambient temperature.
A 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group, however, is preferably
cleaved in trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of
anisole.
A tert.butyl or tert.butyloxycarbonyl group is
preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as - --
trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid, optionally
using a solvent such as methylene chloride, dioxane,
ether or dioxane/ether.

A phthalyl group is preferably cleaved in the presence
of hydrazine or a primary amine such as methylamine,
ethylamine or n-butylamine in a solvent such as
methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, toluene/water or
dioxane, at temperatures between 20 and 50C.
An allyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved by treating with a
catalytic amount of tetrakis-(triphenylphosphine)-
palladium(0), preferably in a solvent such as
tetrahydrofuran and preferably in the presence of an
excess of an allyl group acceptor such as morpholine or
1,3-dimedone, at temperatures between 0 and 100C, ~-

such as aqueous ethanol and optionally in the presence
of a base such as 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, at -~
temperatures between 20 and 70C.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I obtained may be
resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers. ;~
Thus, for example, the cis/trans mixtures obtained may -:
be resolved by chromatography into the cis and trans ~ i~
isomers thereof and the compounds of formula I which ~:
occur in racemate form may be separated by conventional .
methods (see Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in "Topics
in Stereochemistry", Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) .
into their optical antipodes, and compounds of formula I ~-
having at least 2 stereogenic centres may be separated
on the basis of their physical-chemical differences
using known methods, e.g. by chromatography and/or
fractional crystallisation, into the diastereomers
thereof, which, if they occur in racemic form, may
subsequently be separated into the enantiomers as
mentioned above.

- 2~ _ 2 ~
The separation of enantiomers is preferably effected by
column separation on chiral phases or by
recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or by
reaction with optically active substances (especially
acids and the activated derivatives thereof or
alcohols), which form salts or derivatives such as
esters or amides with the racemic compound, and
separation of the diasteromeric salt mixture or
derivative thus obtained, e.g. on the basis of their
different solubilities, whilst the free antipodes may be
released from the pure diastereomeric salts by the
action of suitable agents. Particularly useful,
optically active acids include, for example, the D- and ~
L-forms of tartaric acid, and dibenzoyltartaric acid, -
di-o-tolyl tartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid,
camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and ~ -
quinic acid. Examples of optically active alcohols
include for example (+)- or (-)-menthol and examples of
optically active acyl groups in amides include, for
example, (+)- or (-)-menthyloxycarbonyl.
: : -
Moreover, the compounds of formula I obtained may beconverted into the salts thereof, particularly for
pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable
salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids. Examples
of suitable acids include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic -
acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid,
fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid,
tartaric acid or maleic acid.
In addition, the compounds of formula I thus obtained,
if they contain a carboxyl group, may subsequently, if
desired, be converted into the addition salts thereof
with inorganic or organic bases, more particularly, for
pharmaceutical use, into the physiologically acceptable
addition salts thereof. Examples of suitable bases
include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia,

cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine and
triethanolamine.
The starting compounds used in the process of the
invention are known or may be obtained by conventional
techniques (see Examples I to XXIV).
As mentioned above, the compounds of the invention have -
valuable properties. Thus, the compounds of formula I,
wherein A represents an aminoalkyl, aza- or
diazacycloalkyl group optionally substituted at the
nitrogen, or represents a pyridyl or quinuclidinyl group
or a group which may optionally be converted in vivo ~-
into an aminoalkyl, aza- or diazacycloalkyl group, e.g. :
an amino, aza- or diazacycloalkyl group substituted at
the nitrogen by an alkoxycarbonyl, alkenyloxycarbonyl, :-
aralkoxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyl, ~ :
trifluoromethylcarbonyl, alkanoyloxymethoxycarbonyl,
cycloalkanoyloxymethoxy-carbonyl or
aralkanoyloxymethoxycarbonyl group and -COORa denotes a .
carboxyl group or a group which may be converted in vivo
into a carboxyl group, e.g. an alkoxy, alkenyloxy,
phenylalkoxy, cycloalkyloxy, alkanoyloxyalkoxy,
cycloalkanoyloxyalkoxy, phenylalkanoyloxyalkoxy,
benzoyloxyalkoxy, alkoxycarbonyloxyalkoxy or
cycloalkyloxycarbonyloxy-alkoxycarbonyl group, have
valuable pharmacological properties, and in addition to
having an inhibitory effect on inflammation and bone
degradation, they have in particular antithrombotic,
antiaggregatory and tumour- or metastasis-inhibiting
effects.
Viewed from a further aspect the invention thus provides
a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of
formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof
together with at least one physiologically acceptable
carrier or excipient.

Viewed from a still further aspect the invention also
provides the use of a compound of formula I or a
physiologically acceptable salt thereof, for the
manufacture of a medicament for use in combating .
inflammation, bone degradation, tumours, metastases,
thrombosis and aggregation-related conditions.
Viewed from a yet still further aspect the invention
provides a method of treatment of the human or non~
human, preferably mammalian body to combat inflammation, -
bone degradation, tumours, metastases, thrombosis and -:
aggregation-related conditions, said method comprising
administering to said body a compound of formula I or a

By way of example, the biological activity of the
compounds according to the invention were investigated
as follows: :

- 27 -
1. Competitive binding of 3H-BIBU 52/test substance to
human thrombocytes:
A suspension of human thrombocytes in plasma is
incubated with 3H-BIBU 52 ~3H-sIBU 52, which is disclosed
in DE-A-4214245 is (3S,5S)-5-[(4'-amidino-4-
biphenylyl)oxymethyl]-3-[(carboxyl)methyl]-2- -
pyrrolidinone[3-3H-4-biphenylyl] and is used in place of
the conventional 12sI fibrinogen ligand] and various
concentrations of the test substance. The free and
bound ligand are separated by centrifuging and ~-
quantified by scintillation counting. The inhibition of
3H-BIBU 52 binding by the test substance is determined
from the measurements obtained.
In order to do this, donor blood is taken from an
anticubital vein and anticoagulated with trisodium
citrate (final concentration 13 mM). The blood is
centrifuged for 10 minutes at 170 x g and the
supernatant platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is removed. The
remaining blood is vigorously centrifuged once more in
order to obtain plasma. The PRP is diluted 1:10 with
autologous plasma. 750 ~l are incubated with 50 ~l of
physiological saline solution, 100 ~1 of test substance
solution, 50 ~l of l4C-sucrose (3,700 Bq) and 50 ~l of ;~
3H-BIBU 52 (final concentration: 5 nM) at ambient
temperature for 20 minutes. In order to measure the ~ -
non-specific binding, 5 ~l of BIBU 52 (final
concentration: 30 ~M) are used in place of the test -
substance. The samples are centrifuged for 20 seconds
at 10,000 x g and the supernatant is poured off. 100 ~l
thereof are measured in order to determine the free
ligand. The pellet is dissolved in 500 ~l of 0.2N NaOH,
450 ~l are mixed with 2 ml of scintillator and 25 ~1 of
5N HCl and measured. The residual plasma remaining in
the pellet is determined from the 14C-content and the ~-
bound ligand is determined from the 3H-measurement.

After the non-specific binding has been deducted, the
pellet activity is plotted against the concentration of
the test substance and the concentration for a 50%
inhibition of binding is determined.
2. Antithrombotic activity
Method
Thrombocyte aggregation is measured using the method of
Born and Cross (J. Physiol. 170: 397 (1964)) in
platelet-rich plasma taken from healthy volunteers. To
inhibit coagulation, the blood is mixed with 3.14%
sodium citrate in a volume ratio of 1:10.
Collaqen-induced aqqreqation
The pattern of the decrease in optical density of the
platelet suspension is photometrically measured and
recorded after the addition of the aggregation-
triggering substance. The rate of aggregation is
determined from the angle of inclination of the density
curve. The point on the curve where there i5 maximum
light transmittance is used to calculate the optical
density.
The concentration of collagen used is as small as
possible but sufficient to produce an irreversible :~
reaction curve. Standard commercial collagen produced
by Hormonchemie of Munich is used. Before the addition
of the collagen the plasma is incubated for 10 minutes
with the substance at 37C.
From the concentration/activity curve the EC50 is
determined, which indicates the concentration giving a
50% change in the optical density in terms of the
inhibition of aggregation.

The inhibition of thrombocyte aggregation after oral
administration of the test substance is determined ex -~
vivo on Rhesus monkeys.
Directly before the oral administration of the test
substance suspended in Natrosol, a blood sample is taken
from the cubital vein of the animals to provide a ~ -~
reference value. At specified times after the
administration of the substance, fresh blood samples are ~
taken and investigated as follows. -- -
Whole blood, mixed with 3.14% sodium citrate in a ratio
by volume of 1:10 is centrifuged at 200 x g for 15
minutes. The supernatant, platelet-rich plasma, is
carefully removed. From the sediment which is rich in
erythrocytes, the platelet-depleted plasma is obtained -~
as supernatant, by centrifuging at 4000 x g for lO ;~

minutes.
The thrombocyte aggregation triggered with collagen
(Hormonchemie, Munich; 2 ~g/ml final concentration in
platelet-rich plasma) in these ex vivo samples is
measured photometrically using the method of Born and
Cross ~J. Physiol. l70: 397 (1964)). The maximum light
transmittance of the platelet-rich plasma, measured
after collagen stimulation, is compared with the
reference value in order to determine the inhibition of
aggregation at the various times of blood sampling after
the administration of the substance, relative to the
reference value.
The compounds of Examples 2 and 5(2) inhibit the
collagen-induced thrombocyte aggregation ex vivo for
more than 2 hours after the oral administration of
1 mg/kg.
The compounds according to the invention are well
tolerated because after intravenous administration of
30 mg/kg of the compounds of Examples 2 and 3 to three
mice in each case, no animals died.
., ~ ,
In the light of their inhibitory effect on cell-cell or
cell-matrix interactions, the compounds of formula I and
the physiologically acceptable addition salts thereof
are suitable for combating or preventing diseases in
which smaller or greater cell aggregates occur or in
which cell-matrix interactions play a part, e.g. in
treating or preventing venous and arterial thrombosis,
cerebrovascular diseases, lung embolism, cardiac
infarction, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis and the
metastasis of tumours and the treatment of genetically
caused or acquired disorders of cell interactions with
one another or with solid structures. They are also
suitable for parallel therapy in thrombolysis with

- 31 _ 2111~3~
fibrinolytics or vascular interventions such as
transluminal angioplasty or in the treatment of shock,
psoriasis, diabetes and inflammation.
For treating or preventing the diseases mentioned above,
the dosage is between 0.1 ~g and 30 mg/kg of body
weight, preferably 1 ~g to 15 mg/kg of body weight,
given in up to 4 doses per day. For this purpose the
compounds of the invention, optionally in conjunction
with other active substances such as thromboxane
receptor antagonists and thromboxane synthesis
inhibitors or combinations thereof, serotonin
antagonists, ~-receptor antagonists, alkylnitrates such
as glycerol trinitrate, phospho-diesterase inhibitors,
prostacyclin and the analogues thereof, fibrinolytics
such as tPA, prourokinase, urokinase, streptokinase, or
anticoagulants such as heparin, dermatane sulphate,
activated protein C, vitamin K antagonists, hirudine,
inhibitors of thrombin or other activated clotting
factors, may be incorporated together with one or more
inert conventional carriers and/or diluents, e.g. corn ~-
starch, lactose, sucrose, microcrystalline cellulose, ~-
magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, --
tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, -~
water/sorbitol, water/polyethyleneglycol,
propyleneglycol, stearylalcohol, carboxymethylcellulose
or fatty substances such as hard fat or suitable
mixtures thereof, into conventional galenic preparations
such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders,
