TITLE OF THE INVENTION
TOCOLYTIC OXYTOCIN RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS
~l~LD OF THE ~VENTION
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Serial No.
08/378,113, filed January 24, 1995, the contents of which are hereby
incorporated by reference.
The present invention provides novel compounds, novel
compositions, methods of their use and methods of their manufacture;
such compounds are generally ph~ cologically useful as agents in
obstetric and gynecologic therapy in m~mm~l~. More specifically, the
compounds of the present invention can be used in the treatment of
preterm labor, dysmenorrhea and for stopping labor preparatory to
Caesarean delivery.
BACKGROUND OF THE rNVENTION
In the field of obstetrics, one of the most important
problems is the m~n~gement of preterm labor. A significant number of
the pregnancies progressing past 20 weeks of gestation experience
premature labor and delivery, which is a leading cause of neonatal
morbidity and mortality. Despite major advances in neonatal care,
retention of the fetus in utero is preferred in most instances.
Tocolytic (uterine-relaxing) agents that are currently in use
include ,~2-adrenergic agonists, magnesium sulfate and ethanol.
Ritodrine, the leading ,~2-adrenergic agonist, causes a number of
cardiovascular and metabolic side effects in the mother, including
tachycardia, increased renin secretion, hyperglycemia (and reactive
hypoglycemia in the infant). Other ,~2-adrenergic agonists, including
terbn~lin~ and albuterol have side effects similar to those of ritodrine.
r 30 Magnesium sulfate at plasma concentrations above the therapeutic range
of 4 to 8 mg/dL can cause inhibition of cardiac conduction and
neuromuscular tr~n~mi~sion, respiratory depression and cardiac arrest,
thus making this agent unsuitable when renal function is impaired.
Ethanol is as effective as ritodrine in preventing premature labor, but it

CA 02210138 1997-07-10
WO 96/2277S PCI/US96/00850
does not produce a corresponding reduction in the incidence of fetal ,,
respiratory distress that ~lmini~stration of ritodrine does.
It has been proposed that a selective oxytocin antagonist
would be the ideal tocolytic agent. In the last few years, evidence has
5 accumulated to strongly suggest that the hormone oxytocin may be a
physiological initi~tor of labor in several m~mm~ n species including
hllm~n~. Oxytocin is believed to exert this effect in part by directly
contracting the uterine myometrium and in part by enhancing the
synthesis and release of contractile prostaglandins from the uterine
10 endometrium/decidua. These prostaglandins may, in addition, be
important in the cervical ripening process. By these mech~nicm~, the
process of labor (term and preterm) is initiated by a heightened
sensitivity of the uterus to oxytocin, resulting in part as a result of a
well-documented increase in the number of oxytocin receptors in this
15 tissue. This "up-regulation" of oxytocin receptors and enhanced uterine
sensitivity appears to be due to trophic effects of rising plasma levels of
estrogen towards term. By blocking oxytocin, one would block both the
direct (contractile) and indirect (enhanced prostaglandin ~ynthesis)
effects of oxytocin on the uterus. A selective oxytocin blocker, or
20 antagonist, would likely be more efficacious for treating preterm labor
than current regimens. In addition, since oxytocin at term has major
effects only on the uterus, such an oxytocin antagonizing compound
would be expected to have few, if any, side effects.
The compounds of the present invention can also be useful
25 in the treatment of dysmenorrhea. This condition is characterized by
cyclic pain associated with menses during ovulatory cycles. The pain is
thought to result from uterine contractions and ischemia, probably
mediated by the effect of prost~gl~ndin~ produced in the secretory
endometrium. By blocking both the direct and indirect effects of
oxytocin on the uterus, a selective oxytocin antagonist can be more ,~
efficacious for treating dysmenorrhea than current regimens. An
additional use for the present invention is for the stoppage of labor
preparatory (i.e., prior) to Caesarean delivery.

CA 02210138 1997-07-10
WO 96/22775 PCT/US96/008~0
It is, therefore, a purpose of this invention to provide
substances which more effectively antagonize the function of oxytocin in
disease states in ~nim~l~, preferably m~mm~ls, especially in hllm~ns. It
is another purpose of this invention to prepare novel compounds which
5 more selectively inhibit oxytocin. It is still another purpose of this
invention to provide a method of antagonizing the functions of oxytocin
in disease states in m~mm~l~. It is also a purpose of this invention to
develop a method of preventing or treating oxytocin-related disorders
of preterm labor and dysmenorrhea by antagonizing oxytocin.
It has now been found that compounds of the present
invention are antagonists of oxytocin and bind to the oxytocin receptor.
When the oxytocin receptor is bound by the compounds of the present
invention, oxytocin is antagonized by being blocked from its receptor
and thus being unable to exert its biologic or pharmacologic effects.
These compounds are useful in the treatment and prevention of
oxytocin-related disorders of ~nim~ls, preferably m~mm~ls and
especially hllm~n.~. These disorders are primarily preterm labor and
dysmenorrhea. The compounds would also find usefulness for stoppage
of labor preparatory to Caesarean delivery. Additionally, such
compounds are useful in inducing contraception in m~mm~l~ inasmuch
as oxytocin antagonists have now been shown to inhibit the release of
oxytocin-stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) by anterior pituitary
cells.
Compounds of the present invention are also inhibitors of
vasopressin and can bind to the vasopressin receptor. These compounds
are useful in inducing vasodilation, treating hypertension, inducing
diuresis and inhibiting platelet agglutination.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts
of the present invention are of the general formula

The ability of the compounds of the present invention to
antagonize oxytocin makes these compounds useful as ph~rm~cologic
agents for m~mm~ls, especially for hllm~ns, for the treatment and
prevention of disorders wherein oxytocin may be involved. Examples
of such disorders include preterm labor and especially dysmenorrhea.
These compounds may also find usefulness for stoppage of labor
preparatory to Cesarean delivery.
The present invention is also directed to combinations of
the compounds of formula I with one or more agents useful in the
treatment of oxytocin related disorders such as preterm labor,
dysmenorrhea and stopping labor prior to cesarean delivery. For
example, the compounds of the instant invention may be effectively
~lmini.stered in combination with effective amounts of other agents used
in the treatment of preterm labor, such as antenatal steroids (e.g.,
dexamethasone). Preferred combinations are simultaneous or
alternating treatments of an oxytocin receptor antagonist of the present
invention and an antenatal steroid. These combinations have beneficial
effects on the neonate by both decreasing uterine activity to prolong
gestation and increasing fetal maturation. In accordance with the
method of the present invention, the individual components of the
combination can be ~lministered separately at different times during the
course of therapy or concurrently in divided or single combination
forrns. The instant invention is therefore to be understood as embracing
all such regimes of simlllt~neous or alternating treatment and the term
"~lmini~stering" is to be interpreted accordingly. It will be understood
that the scope of combinations of the compounds of this invention with
other agents useful for treating oxytocin related conditions includes in
principle any combination with any pharmaceutical composition useful
for treating preterm labor, dysmenorrhea or stopping labor prior to
cesarean delivery.

The oxytocin antagonist compounds of the present
invention are also useful for improving reproductive efficiency in farm
~nim~l~. In certain farm ~nim~l~ (e.g., sheep, cattle, swine, horses and
goats), the beginning of the estrous cycle is typically marked by
behavioral estrus when the female ~nim~l accepts the male for m~ting.
Ovulation of the ovarian follicle occurs shortly after onset of estrus and
cells in the follicle give rise to the corpus luteum. The cells that form
the corpus luteum produce progesterone and they also produce
oxytocin. The secretion of oxytocin from the corpus luteum and/or
pituitary acts on the uterine endometrium to s~im~ te the secretion of
prostaglandins (in particular PGF) which, in turn, causes the regression
of the corpus luteum of the ovary. PGF is, therefore, the luteolytic
hormone. In the cycling ~nim~l (i.e., where mating and fertilization
have not occurred), destruction of the corpus luteum removes the
lS source of progesterone which is key to the preparation of the uterus for
pregnancy. The presence of a viable conceptus (i.e., the embryo and its
associated membranes) is necessary to prevent the luteolytic process. In
fact, the first key signal that the conceptus must produce is the one to
prevent regression of the corpus luteum (i.e., the maternal recognition
of pregnancy signal). Thus, in the ~nim~l where mating and
fertilization have occurred, the conceptus secretes a factor that
antagonizes the action of oxytocin to induce luteolysis. This results in
m~intenance of a functioning corpus luteum and the continued secretion
of progesterone which is obligatory to the initiation of pregnancy.
A~lmini~tration of an oxytocin antagonist of the present
invention at this critical period after fertilization (i.e., just prior to or
during the period of maternal recognition of pregnancy) supplements
the natural signal from the conceptus (i.e., maternal recognition of
pregnancy) to prolong corpus luteal function. The result is to increase
pregnancy rates by enhancing the chances of impregnation through a
reduction in embryonic loss. Thus, to improve fertility and embryonic
survival in a farm ~nim~l, a mated ~nim~l, for example, a mated ewe, is
treated with an oxytocin antagonist compound beginning on between day
10 to day lS after onset of estrus. The oxytocin antagonist compound is

CA 02210138 1997-07-10
WO 96/22775 PCTIUS9~'00~50
~lmini~tered to the mated ~nim~l for a period of one day to three
weeks, preferably one week to three weeks, most preferably one week
to two weeks.
The compounds of the present invention are also useful for
S controlling the timing of parturition in farm ~nim~l~ so that delivery of
the neonates occurs during the daytime. Approximately 80% of
livestock are delivered at night and up to S to 10% of newborns die
because the deliveries are not monitored properly. An oxytocin
antagonist compound of the present invention ~lmini~tered to the
10 mother on the evening before expected delivery delays parturition so
that the delivery occurs during the daylight hours. By delaying the
timing of parturition, proper monitoring of the delivery and the
neonates is ensured, resulting in increased survival rates of the
newborns.
In addition, the oxytocin antagonists of the instant invention
can also be used to control the timing of estrus in a cycling farm ~nim~l
by preventing luteal regression. An oxytocin antagonist compound of
the instant invention is ~lministered to a cycling farm ~nim~l prior to
expected estrus to prevent regression of the corpus luteum. Daily
~lmini~tration of the compound retards estrus until ~lministration of
the compound ceases. Preferably, the oxytocin antagonist compound i,s
:~lmini~tered at least 1 day prior to expected estrus. By delaying e.strus
in a group of farm ~nim~l~, a farmer can synchronize estrus among the
group to provide time and cost savings in farm m~n~gement.
The compounds of the present invention also bind to the
vasopressin receptor and are therefore useful as vasopressin antagonists.
Vasopressin antagonists are useful in the treatment or prevention of
disease states involving vasopressin disorders, including their use as
diuretics and their use in congestive heart failure.
The compounds of the present invention can be
~lmini~tered in such oral dosage forms as tablets, capsules (each
including timed release and sustained release formulations), pills,
powders, granules? elixers, tinctures, suspensions, syrups and emulsions.
Likewise, they may also be ~lmini~tered in intravenous (both bolus and

CA 02210138 1997-07-10
WO 96/22775 PCT/US96/00~50
- 23 -
infusion), intraperitoneal, subcutaneous or intramuscular form, all using
forms well known to those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical arts.
An effective but non-toxic amount of the compound desired can be
employed as a tocolytic agent.
S The dosage regimen lltili7ing the compounds of the present
invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including
type, species, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the
severity of the condition to be treated; the route of ~lministration; the
renal and hepatic function of the patient; and the particular compound
or salt thereof employed. An ordinarily skilled physician or
veterinarian can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of
the drug required to prevent, counter or arrest the progress of the
condition.
Oral dosages of the present invention, when used for the
indicated effects, will range between about 0.03-6.0 gm/day orally.
More particularly, when a-lmini~tered orally for the treatment of
preterm labor, an effective daily dose will be in the range of 0.05
mglkg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight, preferably, from 0.5 mglkg
to 50 mglkg, ~lmini~tered in single or divided dose. For oral
~lministration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of
tablet.s cont~ining 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0,
50.0, 100 and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the
symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. A
medicament typically contains from about 0.01 mg to about 500 mg of
the active ingredient, preferably, from about 1 mg to about 100 mg of
active ingredient. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will range
from 0.01 to about 1.0 mg/minute during a constant rate infusion.
Advantageously, compounds of the present invention may be
~lmini~tered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be
a~lmini.~tered in divided doses of two, three or four times daily.
Furthermore, preferred compounds for the present invention can be
~lmini~tered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal
vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal
skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in that art. To be

~lmini~tered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage
~lmini~ctration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittant
throughout the dosage regimen.
In the methods of the present invention, the compounds
herein described in detail can form the active ingredient, and are
typically ~flmini~tered in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical
diluents, excipients or carriers (collectively referred to herein as
"carrier" materials) suitably selected with respect to the intended form
of ~lmini~tration, that is, oral tablets, capsules, elixirs, syrups and the
like, and consistent with conventional pharmaceutical practices.
For instance, for oral ~lmini~tration in the form of a tablef
or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral,
non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol,
glycerol, water and the like. Moreover, when desired or necessary,
suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents and coloring agents
can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include
starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn
sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or
sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes
and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium
oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium
acetate, sodium chloride and the like. Disintegrators include, without
limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, 7~nth~n gum and
the like.
The compounds of the present invention can also be
~lmini~tered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small
nnil~mellar vesicles, large lmil~mellar vesicles and multilamellar
vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids,
such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines.
Compounds of the present invention may also be delivered

Compounds of the present invention where Rl or R3 are
non-hydrogen substituents requires the preparation of piperidin-4-ones
or piperidin-4-ols that are substituted at the 2- or 3-position. Examples
for the preparation of such 2- or 3-substituted piperidin-4-ones and 2-
5 or 3-substituted piperidin-4-ols and their subsequent conversion to
compounds of the present invention are given in Schemes 1-9. A broad
range of substituents can be introduced at the Rl and R3 positions using
methods as exemplified in Schemes 1-9 and by other methods f~mili~r
to those with ordinary skill in the art. Schemes 1 and 6 utilize a ketone
10 alkylation process and Schemes 5 and 9 utilize processes similar to those
described by P. Beak and co-workers (Tetrahedron Letters, 1989, vol.
30, pp. 1197-1200, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1990, vol. 55, pp.
2578-2580) to obtain 3-substituted piperidin-4-ones and 2-substituted
piperidin-4-ols that can be used as intermediates to prepare compounds
15 of the present invention cont~ining non-hydrogen Rl and R3
substituents. Schemes 2 and 7 utilize processes similar to those
described by D. L. Comins and co-workers (Tetrahedron Letters, l9P~9,
vol. 30, pp. 5053-5056, Tetrahedron Letters, 1986, vol. 27, pp. 4549-
4552) and Schemes 3, 4, and 8 utilize 4-ketopipecolic acid (C.
20 Muhlemann, et al., Organic Syntheses, D. L. Coffen, editor, 1993, vol.
72, pp. 200-206) for the preparation of 2-substituted piperidin-4-ones
and 2-substituted piperidin-4-ols that can be used as intermediates to
obtain compounds of the present invention Cont~ining non-hydrogen R
and R3 substituents. Processes that involve cyclization of ene-iminium
25 species (for example: S. Hayes, et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry,
1991, vol. 56, pp. 4084-4086, and C. Agami, et al., Tetrahedron, 1992,
vol. 48, pp. 431 -442) are also useful for the preparation of 2- or 3-
substituted piperidin-4-ones and 2- or 3-substituted piperidin-4-ol~s that
can be used as intermediates to obtain compounds of the present
30 invention cont~ining non-hydrogen Rl and R3 substituents. Piperidin-4-
ones and piperidin-4-ols substituted at the 2- or 3-position can be used
to prepare compounds of the present invention with Rl being a non-
hydrogen substituent and which contain either the 1,2-dihydro-4(H)-3,1
benzoxazinone ring system (X = O, Schemes 6-9) or the 3,4-dihydro-

CA 02210138 1997-07-10
WO 96/22775 PCT/US96/00850
- 61 -
2(1H)-quinolinone ri~gi~systeffi (X ~ C~2; Schème 10). The 3,4-
dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone ring system can be prepared using methods
analogous to those described by H. Ogawa and co-workers (Journal of
Medicinal Chemistry, 1993, vol. 36, pp. 2011-2017) as indicated in
5 Scheme 10. A variety of R4 substituents can be incorporated into the
compouIlds of the present invention as exemplified in Scheme 11. For
example, the piperidine nitrogen can be derivatized by alkylation with
an alkyl halide, by reductive alkylation with an aldehyde and a reducing
agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride, by acylation with an activated
10 carbonyl compound (e.g., carboxylic acid chloride,
hydroxybenzotriazole ester, carboxylic acid anhydride, chloroformate,
etc.), by guanylation with a cyanoimine derivative, or by sulfonylation
with a sulfonyl chloride or sulfonic acid anhydride. Compounds of the
present invention in which the R4 substituent is a substituted or
15 unsubstituted picolyl or picolyl N-oxide group can be prepared as
exemplified in Scheme 12. A substituted or unsubstitutued pyridinyl
ester is converted to an alcohol using a reducing agent such as lithium
aluminum hydride. The alcohol is converted to an aldehyde using an
oxidizing agent such as manganese dioxide, or converted to a
20 chloromethyl derivative by treatment with a chlorin~ting agent such as
thionyl chloride. The aldehyde can be used to reductively alkylate the
free piperidine, or the chloromethyl derivative can be used to alkylate
the piperidine, giving compounds of the present invention in which R4 is
a substituted or an unsubstituted picolyl group. Treatment of the
25 chloromethyl derivative with an oxidizing agent such as m-
chloroperoxybenzoic acid gives the chloromethylpyridine-N-oxide
derivative, which is then used to alkylate the piperidine to provide
compounds of the present invention in which R4 is a substituted or an
unsubstituted picolyl N-oxide group. Syntheses of intermediates for
30 preparation of compounds of the present invention in which Rx is
halogen or alkyl are given in Schemes 13-16. Reagents such as N-
chlorosuccinimide or N-bromosuccinimide, N-iodosuccinimide, iodine,
bromine, fluorine, etc., can be used to halogenate a para-hydroxy
benzoic acid derivative as shown in Scheme 13, which can then be

CA 02210138 1997-07-10
WO 96/22775 PCT/US~ C~'0
- 62 -
further derivatized to obtain compounds of the present invention in
which R8 is halogen as shown in Schemes 13 and 14. Directed ortho
metalation reactions can be used to prepare alkylated aromatics as
shown in Scheme 15, which can then be further elaborated to benzoic
acid and phenylacetic acid derivatives which are usful for preparing
compounds of the present invention in which RX is an alkyl group as
shown in Schemes 15 and 16. Syntheses of intermediates which are
useful for preparing compounds of the present invention in which an
alkyl group is substituted at the R9 position are given in Scheme 17.
Pyridine carboxylic acid derivatives can be converted to pyridyl alkyl
ketones, which can then be used to reductively alkylate the terminal
piperidine ring to give compounds of the present invention in which an
alkyl group is substituted at the R9 position. Alternatively, the pyridyl
alkyl ketone derivatives can be reductively ~min~ted with ammonia and
the resulting aminoalkyl pyridines can be converted to pyridinylalkyl
piperidinols by reaction with 1,1-dimethyl-4-piperidinone using a

(Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1991, vol. 56, pp. 2701-2712) followed
by ketone reduction, or by reaction with allyltrimethylsilane and
aqueous formaldyhyde using a procedure similar to that reported by P.
A. Grieco and co-workers (Journal of the American Chemical Society,

then used in ether forming reactions to give compounds of the present
invention in which R9 is alkyl as shown in Scheme 17.
It is understood that the R1, R3, RX, and R9 substituents in
compounds of the present invention include but are not limited to the
specific substitutents given in Schemes 1-17. Also, Schemes 1-17 serve
to exemplify methods for preparation of compounds of the present
invention, but other methods and variations of those given, which are
f~mili~r to those of ordinary skill in the art, are also useful for
preparing compounds of the present invention.
The most preferred compounds of the invention are any or
all of those specifically set forth in these Examples and the following
Tables 1-12. These compounds are not, however, to be construed as

combination of the compounds or their moieties may itself form a
genus. The following examples further illustrate details for the
preparation of the compounds of ~e present invention. Those skilled in
5 the art will readily understand that known variations of the conditions
and processes of the following preparative procedures can be used to
prepare these compounds.
All solvents were reagent grade and stored over 4A
molecular sieves. THF was distilled from calcium hydride under inert
10 atmosphere. Dioxane was dried and freed of peroxides by passage
through a column of activity I neutral alllmin~. Determination of
reaction pH was estimated by spotting an aliquot from the reaction
mixture on wetted E. Merck "colorpHast" pH 1-14 indicator strips.
Silica coated TLC plates were used to monitor all reactions (E. Merck,
15 5 x 10 cm Silica Gel 60 F254). MeOH(NH3) used for TLC refers to a
methanol solution saturated with NH3 gas at 0~C. Pressurized silica gel
column chromatography using 230-400 mesh silica gel was performed
according to the method of Still, Kahn, and Mitra (J. Orf~. Chem.
(1978) vol. 43, p.2923). All temperatures are degrees Celsius unless

Step 1. Ethyl 2-ethyl-4-methylnicotinate was prepared in a
manner analogous to that reported for ethyl 2,4-dimethylnicotinate by
Ohno et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1979) vol. 101, p. 7036. Ethyl
10 propionylacetate (25 g, 0.17 mol), acetaldehyde (10.6 g, 0.24 mol), and
acetaldehyde-ammonia complex (11.7 g, 0.09 mol) were combined and
heated at 90~C for 96 h. The mixture was evaporated under reduced
pressure to remove water and excess reagents. The residue was distilled
under reduced pressure (ca. 1 Torr) and the fraction boiling from 140-
15 155~C was collected and further purified by pre,ssurized silica gelcolumn chromatography using a gradient elution of 95:5 to 85:15

RAT & HUMAN OT/AVP BINDING ASSAYS
The high arrilliLy binding of [3H]oxytocin (OT) to uterine
5 tissue and [3H]arginine vasopressin (AVP) to liver (AVP-V1 site) and
kidney (AVP-V2 site) tissue was determined using crude membrane
preparations as described previously [Pettibone, D.J., et al., J.
Pharmacol. and Exper. The7-., 256(1): 304-308 (1991)]. Uterine tissue
was taken from nonpregnant adult Sprague-Dawley rats (Taconic
10 Farms, Germantown, NY) pretreated (18-24 h) with diethylstilbestrol
propionate (DES; 300 ,ug/kg, i.p.). Uterine tissue (full thickness) was
also taken with informed consent from nonlabor pregnant women
undergoing cesarean section at 38 to 39 weeks gestation (Oregon Health
Sciences Center, Portland, OR). Liver and kidney medulla samples
15 were taken from male rats and from human surgical and early
postmortem donors (National Disease Research Interchange,
Philadelphia PA; Analytical Biological Services, Wilrnington, DE).
Competition studies were conducted at equilibrium using 1
nM [3H]oT or 0.5 nM [3H]AVP in the following buffer: 50 mM Tris, 5
20 mM MgC12, 0.1 % bovine serum albumin. Nonspecific binding was
determined using 1 ,uM unlabeled OT or AVP in their respective assays.
The binding reactions were initiated by the addition of tissue
preparation and termin~ted by filtration using a Skatron cell harvester
(model 7019, Skatron, Inc., Sterling, VA). Ki values were calculated
25 for each compound using three to six separate ICso determinations
(Ki=ICso/[l- c/Kd]); [Cheng, Y-C; Prusoff, W.H.; Biochem Pharmacol
22:3099 (1973)] with mean Kd values obtained from replicate (n = 3)
equilibrium saturation binding assays (10 point, 100 fold concentration
range): [3H]oT rat uterus, 0.69 nM; hllm~n myometrium, 1.1 nM;
30 [3H]AVP: rat liver, 0.21 nM; rat kidney, 0.27 nM; human liver, 0.27
nM; human kidney, 1.4 nM. Computer analysis of the saturation assay,s
by EBDA/LIGAND [McPherson, G.A.: Kinetic, Ebda, Ligand, Lowry:
A Collection of Radioligand Binding Analysis Programs, Elsevier
Science Publishers, Amsterdam (1985)] indicated that both radioligand~s
35 apparently bound to single sites in all tissues examined. The final

CA 02210138 1997-07-10
WO 96122775 PCT/US96/00850
- 123-
protein concentration for the various tissues in each assay ranged from
150 to 300 ,ug/ml [Lowry, P.H.; Rosebrough, N.J.; Farr, A.L., Pc~n~l~ll,
R.J.; J. Biol. Chem., 193:265-275 (1951)].
ICso values were determined for the [3H]oT and [3H]AVP
5 binding assays by linear regression of the relation log concentration of
compound vs. percent inhibition of specific binding. Data is either
reported as a given percentage of inhibition at a specified concentration,
or if an IC50 was calculated, as a nanomolar concentration.
Representative compounds of the present invention were found to have
10 IC50 values for the hllm~n oxytocin receptor in the range of 2 nM to
1,000 nM.
The oxytocin antagonistic effect of the compounds of the
present invention can be further evaluated according to the in vitro
and/or in vivo functional assays described in detail in D.J. Pettibone et
15 al., Drug Devel.Res. 1993, 30, 129-142.
Additional preferred oxytocin antagonist compounds of the
instant invention, useful for treating oxytocin-related conditions such as
preterm labor, dysmenorrhea and stopping labor prior to cesarean
delivery, are shown below in Tables 1 through 12.
