AMINE DERIUATTYES AS PROTEASE INHIBITORS
THE INVENTION
This application relates to compounds and compositions for treating.diseases
associated
with cysteine protease activity, particularly diseases associated with
activity of cathepsins B, K,
LorS.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FIELD
Cysteine proteases represent a class of peptidases characterized by the
presence of a
cysteine residue in the catalytic site of the enzyme. Cysteine proteases are
associated with the
1 Q normal degradation and processing of proteins. The aberrant activity of
cysteine proteases, e.g.
as a result of increased expression or enhanced activation, however, may have
pathological
consequences. in this regard, certain cysteine proteases are associated with a
number of
disease states, including arthritis, muscular dystrophy; inflammation, tumor
invasion,
giomerulonephritis, malaria, periodontal disease, metachromatic Ieukodystrophy
and others. For
i5 example; increased cathepsin B levels and redistribution of the enzyme are
found in tumors;
thus, suggesting a role for the enzyme in tumor invasion and metastasis. in
addition, aberrant
cathepsin B activity is implicated in such disease states as rheumatoid
arthritis, osteo arthritis,
pneumocystis carinii, acute panereatitis, inflammatory airway disease and bone
and joint
disorders.
20 The prominent expression of cathepsin K in osteociasts and osteoclast-
related
multinucleated cells and its high collagenolytic activity suggest that the
enzyme is involved in
ososteoclast-mediated hone resorption and, hence, in bone abnormalities such
as occurs in
osteoporosis. In addition, cathepsin K expression in the lung and its
elasrinolytic activity suggest
that the enzyme plays a role in pulmonary disorders as well.
25 Cathepsin L is implicated in normal lysosomal proteolysis as well as
several disease
states, including, but not limited to, metastasis of melanomas. Cathepsin S is
implicated in
Alzheimer's disease and certain autoimmune disorders, including, but not
limited to juvenile
onset diabetes, multiple sclerosis, pemphigus vulgaris, Graves' disease,
myasthenia gravis,
systemic lupus erythemotasus, rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's
thyroiditis; allergic

disorders, including, but not limited to asthma; and allogeneic invnune
responses, including, but
not limited to; rejection of organ transplants or tissue grafts.
In view of the number of diseases wherein it is recognized that an increase in
cysteine
protease activity contributes to the pathology andlor symptomatology of the
disease, molecules
which are_shown to inhibit the activity of this class of enzymes, in
particular molecules which
are inhibitors of cathepsins B, K, L andlor S, will be useful as therapeutic
agents.

Administration and Pharmaceutical Compositions:
In general, compounds of Formula I will be administered in therapeutically
effective
amounts via any of the usual and acceptable modes known in the art, either
singly or in
combination with another therapeutic agent. A therapeutically effective amount
may vary
widely depending on the severity of the disease, the age and relative health
of the subject, the
potency of the compound used and other factors. For example, therapeutically
effective
amounts of a compound of Formula I may range from O.I micrograms per kilogram
body weight
(~,vglkg) per day to IO milligram per kilogram body weight (mglkg) per day,
typically 1 iug~kg/day
to I mg/kglday. Therefore, a therapeutically effective amount for a 80 kg
human patient may
range from 10 ~cg/day to 100 mglday, typically 0.1 mg/day to 10 mglday. In
general, one of
ordinary skill in the art, acting in reliance upon personal knowledge and the
disclosure of this
Application, will be able to ascertain a therapeutically effective amount of a
compound of
Formula i for treating a given disease.
The compounds of Formula I can be administered as pharmaceutical compositions
by
one of the following routes: oral, systemic (e.g., transdermal, intranasal or
by suppository) or
parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous). Compositions
can take the form
of tablets, pills, capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release
formulations, solutions,
suspensions, elixirs, aerosols, or any other appropriate composition and are
comprised of, in
general, a compound of Formula I in combination with at least one
pharmaceutically acceptable
excipient. Acceptable excipients are non-toxic, aid administration, and do not
adversely affect
the therapeutic benefit of the active ingredient. Such excipient may be any
solid, liquid,
semisolid or, in the case of an aerosol composition, gaseous excipient that is
generally available

Compounds of Formula i in which A is optionally substituted oxazol-2-yl can be
prepared by oxidizing a corresponding compound of Formula I in which A is
4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl. The reduction is carried out in the presence of base
(e.g.
I,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]under-7-ene (DBU), I,5-diazabicyclo[3.4.0]non-5-ene
(DBN), or the
like) in a suitable solvent (e.g. dichloromethane, or the like) at 20 to 25
° C and requires 6 to I2

A compound of Formula I can be prepared as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid
addition salt by reacting the free base farm of the compound with a
pharmaceutically acceptable
inorganic or organic acid. Alternatively, a pharmaceutically acceptable base
addition salt of a
compound of Formula I can be prepared by reacting the free acid form of the
compound with a
r0 pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic ar organic base. Inorganic and
organic acids acid bases
' suitable for the preparation of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of
compounds of Formula I
are set forth in the definitions section of this application. Alternatively,
the salt farms of the
compounds of Formula I can be prepared using salts of the starting materials
or intermediates.
The free acid or free base forms of the compounds of Formula I can be prepaied
from
~ 5 the corresponding base addition salt or acid addition salt form. For
example, a compound of
Formula I in an acid addition salt form can be converted to the corresponding
free base by
treating with a suitable base (e.g. ammonium hydroxide solution, sodium
hydroxide, or the like).
A compound of Formula I in a base addition salt form can be converted to the
corresponding
free acid by treating with a suitable acid {e.g. hydrochloric acid, etc).
20 The N oxides of compounds of Formula I can be prepared by methods known to
those
of ordinary skill in the art. For example, N oxides can be prepared by
treating an unoxidized
form of the compound of Formula I with an oxidizing agent (e.g.
trifluoroperacetic acid,
permaleic acid, perbenzoic acid, peracetic acid, meta-chloroperoxybenzoic
acid, or the Like) in a
suitable inert organic solvent (e.g. a halogenated hydrocarbon such as
dichloromethane) at
25 approximately 0°C. Alternatively, the N oxides of the compounds of
Formula I can be prepared
from the N oxide of an appropriate starting material.
Compounds of Formula I in unoxidized form can be prepared from N oxides of
compounds of Formula I by treating with a reducing agent (e.g. sulfur, sulfur
dioxide, triphenyl
phosphine, lithium borohydride, sodium borohydride, phosphorus trichloride,
tribromide, or the
30 Like) in an suitable inert organic solvent (e.g. acetonitrile, ethanol,
aqueous dioxane, or the like)
at 0 to 80°C.
Prodrug derivatives of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared by methods
known
-56-


CA 02475069 2004-08-20
to those of ordinary skill in the art (e.g. for-further details see Sauinier
et al.(1994), Bioorganic
and Medicinal Chemistry Levers. 4:1985). For example, appropriate prodrugs can
be
prepared by reacting a non-derivatized compound of Formula I with a suitable
carbamylating
agent (e.g. 1,1-acyloxyalkylcarbonochloridate, para-nitrophenyl carbonate, or
the like).
Protected derivatives of the compounds of Formula I can be made by means known
to
those of ordinary skill in the art. A detailed description of the techniques
applicable to the
creation of protecting groups and their removal can be found in T.W. Greene,
Protecting
Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1981.
Compounds of Formula I can be prepared as their individual stereoisomers by
reacting a
racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to
form a pair of
diastereoisomeric compounds, separating the diastereomers and recovering the
optically pure
enantiomer. While resolution of enantiomers can be carned out using covalent
diasteromeric
derivatives of compounds of Formula I, dissociable complexes are preferred
(e.g. crystalline
diastereoisomeric salts). Diastereomers have distinct physical properties
(e.g. melting points,
boiling points, solubilities, reactivity, and the like) and can be readily
separated by taking
advantage of these dissimilarities. The diastereomers can be separated by
chromatography or,
preferably, by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in
solubility. The
optically pure enantiomer is then recovered, along with the resolving agent,
by any practical
means that would not result in racemization. A more detailed description of
the techniques
applicable to the resolution of stereoisomers of compounds from their racemic
mixture can be
found in Jean Jacques Andre Collet, Samuel H: Wilen, Enantiomers, Racemates
and
Resolutions, Honh Wiley & Sons, Inc. {1981).

CA 02475069 2004-08-20
C57 mice (female) were sensitised with ovalbumin (10~g, i.p.) administered
together
with aluminium hydroxide adjuvant (20 mg; i.p.) on days 0 and 12. Mice are
challenged on
either day 22,'23 or 24 by exposure for 60 minutes to an aerosol of ovalbumin
(10.g / 1) twice, 4
hours apart. Mice are dosed p.o. with either vehicle 5 ml/kg (0.5%MCI0..2
°!o Tween 80 in
Hi0) or test compound at 0, 8, 23.5 29, 33, 48 and 56 hours.
Mice were euthanized with pentobarbitone i.p. after 86 hours (72 haurs after
the first
challenge). The lungs were insufflated for histological examination as soon as
possible after
euthanization. Lungs were insufflated with IO°~o neutral buffered
formalin (NBF), at 30 cm
water pressure. The Lungs were removed and placed in pots of 10% NBF. After
fixation in
109b NBF for a minimum of 24 hours the lungs were processed through graded
alcohols to wax.
The lungs were blocked longitudinally and one 2 Icm section for each animal
was cut at the level
of the main bronchi. Sections then were stained with haematoxylin and eosin.
Pathological
assessment of sections is performed and a grading is assigned.
Histopathological evaluation of the lung tissue demonstrate a dose dependant
anti-
inflammatory effect on vascular and mucosal beds after treatment with
compounds of the
invention between 0.03 and 30 mg/kg.
