TITLE
Vitronectin Receptor Antagonists

FIELD OF TH[E INVENTION
This invention relates to ~ In~ y active compounds which inhibit
the vitronectin receptor and are useful for the treatment of; " nA I ~ irll e cancer and
~ud;ovc,~ disorders, such as 2ILh~,lùsuL,lu~l~ and restenosis, and diseases
wherein bone resorption is a factor, such as o"~uluulu~
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Integrins are a ~u~J~,lrall81y of cell adhesion receptors, which are
,,l. "I",i,Ar t~ly~u~lut~,...s expressed on a variety of cells. These cell surface
adhesion receptors include gpIIb /IIIa, the fibrinogen receptor, and avfs3, the
15 vitronectin receptor. The fibrinogen receptor gpIIb /IIIa is expressed on the platelet
surface and it mediates platelet -AEEr~.gAtinn and the formation of a hemostatic clot at
the site of a bleeding wound. Philips, et aL, Blood., 1988, 71, 831. The vitronectin
receptor avB3 is expressed on a number of cells, including ~n~ln~h~-liAI smooth
muscle, osteoclast, and tumor cells, and, thus, it has a variety of functions. The av~3
20 receptor expressed on the membrane of osteoclast cells mediates the bone resportion
process and contributes to the d~.lvlul~ of U~t~,UIJUlU~;~. Ross, et al., J. BioL
Chem., 1987, 262, 7703. The avB3 receptor expressed on human aortic smooth
muscle cells stimulates their migration into neointima, which leads to the formation
of dlll~lu,~ lu,ls and restenosis after angioplasty. Brown, et aL, Cu,.ll,, . ~,,lar
25 Res., 1994, 28,1815. Additionally, a recent study has shown that a avU, antagonist
is able to promote tumor regression by inducing apoptosis of angiogenic blood
vessels. Brooks, et aL, Cell, 1994, 79, 1157. Thus, agents that would block the
vitronectin receptor would be useful in treating diseases mediated by this receptor,
such as u~ u~u~is~ a~ ,lua~ ,lu,;:" restenosis and cancer.

The vitronectin receptor is known to bind to bone matrix proteins, such as
bone sialoprotein and ~L-. L r ~ which contain the tri-peptide
Arg-Gly-Asp (or RGD) motif. Thus, Horton, et aL, Exp. Cell Res. l99L /95~ 368
disclose that RGD-containing 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 echistatin, 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.,
Erdocrinology 1993, 132~ 1411, has further shown that echistatin inhibits bone
resorption in vivo in the rat. Bertolini et aL, J. Bone Min. Res., 6~ Sup. 1~ S146~ 252
have shown that cylco-S,S-N~acetyi-cysteinyl-N~' methyl-argininyl-glycyl-
aspartyl-p~ninill~min~ inhibits osteoclast attachment to bone. EP 5Z8 587 and 528
586 report substituted phenyl derivatives which inhibit osteoclast mediated boneresorption.

363~ and Fisher, et al., EP 0 635 492 disclose certain c~-mpn~nn-lc that are useful for
inhibiting the fibrinogen receptor. It has now been discovered that certain
~I,u~ lu,u~ t~l~ 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.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This invention comprises novel compounds which are more potent inhibitors
10 of the vitronectin receptor than the fibrinogen receptor. The compounds of the
instant invention comprise a fibrinogen receptor antagonist template that is linked to
a nitrogen-containing 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 ;..n~,.... 1~ ..1~ 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 receptor 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 fib~inogen 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-containing five-membered ring, preferably an imidazole ring and, most
preferably, a b ..,;., 1~ ring.

6'~ pO-I ~lc of the formula (I)-(V) are prepared, for example, by reacting a

are groups which may react to form a covalent bond in the moiety W, by methods
generally known in the art.

~) ~X) (I)
Typical methods include coupling to form amide bonds, n,.~l. .,1,' 1;,
d~ r~ ' reactions and palladium catalyzed couplings. For instance, when W
contains an ether or amine linkage, the bond may be formed by a ~
reaction, and one of L1 and L2 will contain an amino or hydroxy group and the other
will contain a ,~ NI~ group, such a a chloro, bromo or iodo group. When W
contains an amide bond, typically one of L I and L2 will contain an amino group,
and the other will contain a carboxylic acid group. In another approach, L 1 may be
an aryl or heteroaryl bromide, iodide or llilluulul.r ~ ulrull~y IUAY derivative and
L2 may contain an amino group and the amide linkage may be formed by palladium-
catalyzed: ' ,ylaliu-- with carbon monoxide in a suitable solvent such as
di~ ylr~ ' ' or toluene.
It will be apparent that the precise identity of L1 and L2 will be dependent
upon the site of the linkage being formed. General methods for preparing the
linkage -(CHR'')rU-(CHR'')s-V- are described, for example, in EP-A O 372 486 and
EP-A 0 381 033 and EP-A 0 478 363, which are ~~~ . ' herein by reference.
For instance, if V is CONH, Ll may be -NH2, L2 may be OH (a in an acid)
or Cl (as in an acid chloride), and R6 may be W~(CR~2)q-Z(CR~R1~)rU-(CRI2)s
C(O), with any functional groups optionally protected. For example, R6" may be
25 (L~ ylu~y~ ubu~l-amidino)benzoyl- or (N~-Boc,N~Uan-Tos)arginyl-. When L2 is
OH, a coupling agent is used.

Similarly, if V is NHCO, Ll may be -CO2H or CO-CI, LZ may be -NH2, and
R6 may be W-(CR'2)q-Z(CR'R1~)rU-(CR'2)s-. For example, R6" may be
(benzylu,~y.,~ul,ullyl-amidino)phenyl, (b~ ylu~yc~ubu~ ullo)lll~Ll~ yl- or 6-
(b.,l~.Jlu~.y~.~ubu~ykuuhlo)hexyl-.
Where V is NHSO2, Ll may be SO2CI, L2 may be -NH2 and R6 may be as
above. Where V is SO2NH, Ll may be -NH2 and L2 may be SO2CI. Methods to
prepare such sulfonyl chlorides are disclosed, for instance, in J. Org. Chem., 23,
1257 (1958).
If V is CH=CH, Ll may be -CHO, L2 may be CH=P-Ph3 and R6 may be W-
(CR~2)q~Z(CRlRl0)ru-(cR~2)s- Alternately, Ll may be CH=P-Ph3, L2 may be
CHO, e.g., R6 may be W-(CR'2)q-Z-(CR'Rl0)rU-(CR'2)s l-CHO
Where V is CH2CH2 may be obtained by reduction of a suitably protecLed
compound wherein V is CH=CH.
Where V is CH20, CH2N or C--C, Ll may be -OH, -NH or
-c----C H,.~ ~L~,ly, L2 may be -Br; and R6" may be
W-(CR'z)q-Z(CR'R1~)r-U-(CR'2)s-. For example, R6 may be
~ ,u~.~lw~yc~ul/ull~/' )-u~Li~ yl- or 2-(N-benzyl-4-piperidinyl)-ethyl.
Similarly where U or V is OCH2, NR'CH2 or C----C, Ll may be -CH2Br and L2 may
be -OH, -NH or -C= CH, ~c~,u~,L~,ly. Alternately, when U or V is cc C, Ll may
2û be Br, I or CF3S03, L2 may be C= C H and the coupling may be catalyzed by
palladium and a base.
~'t)mpt)lln~lc wherein V is CHOHCH2 may be prepared from a suitably
protected compound where V is CH=CH by the procedure disclosed in J. Org.
Chem., 54, 1354 (1989).
(' ~mpollnfls wherein V is CH2CHOH may be ob~ained from a suitably

Conversion of the carboxylic acid moiety of 1-Scheme II to an aldehyde can
be ~, ~.... ......,pl;~h.~;i by standard ~ rL~ vy, as described in "('~ p 1;~ of
Organic Synthetic Methods" (published by Wiley-T ~ ). For example, after
protection of the aniline nitmgen as its tert-butyl carbamate, the carboxylic acid is
converted to the ~ ~l ' v acid chloride with a suitable reagent, such as thionylchloride. The tert-butyl carbamate is lost under these conditions. The resulting acid
chloride is then reduced to aldehyde 3-Scheme Il by l~JJIuv_lldliull over a suitable
catalyst, for instance palladium on carbon in the presence of 2,6-lutidine. The
aldehyde 3-Scheme 11 is then converted to the amine 4-Scheme 1I by reaction with2-( ~ JI~ in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, such as
sodium c ~lubuluh~vlide. Altemative methods for converting an aldehyde to an
amine are described in "~ ...1;..." of Organic Synthetic Methods" (published by
Wiley-T. '- ~ ). The basic nitmgen atoms of 4-Scheme II are methylated under
modified Eschweiler-Clarke conditions (Sondengam, B. L. er al., Tetrahedron
Letters 1973, 261; Borsch, R. F.; Hassid, A. I. J. Org. Cherr~ 1972, 37, 1673). Thus,
20 reaction of 4-Scheme II with ' ' ' ' ~dv in the presence of a suitable reducing
agent, such as sodium c;,yollObulull,y ~Lhl~, gives 5-Scheme 11. .S~ i ri. -~ of the

Other standard nitrogen protecting groups, such as those descrioed in Greene
"Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", may be chosen such that the protectinggroup employed is compatible with the subsequent chemistry and can be removed
selectively under conditions which will not interfere with other rull~livll~l;ly in the
5 molecule. Alkylation of the phenol moiety of compound 2-Scheme VIII to afford
the ~uylu~.y~ , acid derivative 3-Scheme VIII can be ~ ..,"~ h. d by reaction
with a haloacetic acid ester, for instance benzyl IIIUIII_ ' ', under basic conditions
in a neutral solvent. Generally, K2CO3 in refluxing acetone or 2-butanone gives
acceptable results, but other bases, such as Li2CO3 or Cs2CO3, and other solvents,
10 such as DMF, THF, or DME, might also be used. The nitrogen protecting group of
3-Scheme vm is removed under conditions appropriate for selective d~ ut~,.,liuu of
the specific protecting group employed. For example, the BOC group of 3-Scheme
vm can be removed under acidic conditions, such as 4 M HCI in I ,4-dioxane or
TFA in CH2C12, to afford amine 4-Scheme Vlll as the uu~uul.lh~g ammonium

vm under appropriate conditions gives compound 6-Scheme vm. The conditions
20 selected for ester removal must be appropriate for the specific ester present as well
as compatible with the other ru..~ .,al;Ly in the molecule. For instance, the benzyl
ester of 5-Scheme vm can be removed by hydlu~ ul~ in the presence of a
suitable catalyst, such as Pd on carbon, in an inert solvent, generally MeOH, EtOH,

anhydrides and esters and acyl halides. Reagents such as EDC, DCC, DPPA, PPA,
BOP reagent, HOBt, N-hylllu~.y~ r 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
5 PRACTICE OF PEPTIDE SYNTHESIS, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1984, Ali ef aL in
J. Med. Chem., 29, 984 (1986) and J. Med Chem., 30, 2291 (1987) are generally
illustrative of the technique and are h~ul~v-dl~d herein by reference.
Typically, the amine or aniline is coupled via its free amino group to an
appropriate carboxylic acid substrate using a suitable ~.rll,olih.lide coupling agent,
10 such as N,N' diuy~,lvhrAyl ~bvdiillliv~ (DCC), optionally in the presence of
catalysts such as l-hydlu~yb .,,..~ Ir (HOBt) and d;lll~,~llyldll~O 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
15 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 t~l.dll~Lvrul~ul(THF), in the presence of a base, such as N-methyl
mnrphnlin~, DMAP or a trialkylamine, with isobutyl ~hlulurl to form the
~'activated anhydride", which is ~ p~ ~ly reacted with the free amine of a second
20 protected amino acid or aniline.

The compounds described herein are antagonists of the vitronectin receptor,
and are useful for treating diseases wherein the underlying pathology is attributable
to ligand or cell which interacts with the vitronectin 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 treatment of

utility as antitumor, anti-qngiog~ ni~ ~ y and anti-metastatic agents,
and be useful in the treatment of dLh~,~u ~ ,l u~is and restenosis.
The compound is ~ ..1 either orally or parenterally to the patient, in a
manner such that the, of drug is sufficient to inhibit bone resorption, or

ql' c;d at an oral dose of between about 0.1 to about 50 mgA~g in a manner
consistent with the condition of the patient. Preferably the oral dose would be about
0.5 to about 20 mg/kg. For acute therapy, parenteral A~ n Al ;~ ,. . is preferred. An
intravenous infusion of the peptide in 5% dextrose in water or normal saline, or a~5 similar r ~ " with suitable excipients, is most effective, although an
