This invention relates to compounds which are inhibitors of serine proteases and to pharmaceutical compositions thereof and their use in the treatment of the human or animal body.
The serine proteases are a group of proteolytic enzymes which have a common catalytic mechanism characterized by a particularly reactive Ser residue. Examples of serine proteases include trypsin, tryptase, chymotrypsin, elastase, thrombin, plasmin, kallikrein, Complement C1, acrosomal protease, lysosomal protease, cocoonase, α-lytic protease, protease A, protease B, serine carboxypeptidase II, subtilisin, urokinase, Factor VIIa, Factor IXa, and Factor Xa. The serine proteases have been investigated extensively over a period of several decades and the therapeutic value of inhibitors of serine proteases is well understood.
Serine protease inhibitors play a central role in the regulation of a wide variety of physiological process including coagulation, fibrinolysis, fertilization, development, malignancy, neuromuscular patterning and inflammation. It is well known that these compounds inhibit a variety of circulating proteases as well as proteases that are activated or released in tissue. It is also becoming clear that serine protease inhibitors inhibit critical cellular processes, such as adhesion, migration, free radical production and apoptosis. In addition, animal experiments indicate that intravenously administered serine protease inhibitors, variants or cells expressing serine protease inhibitors, provide a protective effect against tissue damage.
Serine protease inhibitors have also been predicted to have potential beneficial uses in the treatment of disease in a wide variety of clinical areas such as oncology, neurology, haematology, pulmonary medicine, immunology, inflammation and infectious disease.
In particular serine protease inhibitors may be beneficial in the treatment of thrombotic diseases, asthma, emphysema, cirrhosis, arthritis, carcinoma, melanoma, restenois, atheroma, trauma, shock and reperfusion injury.
Thus for example an inhibitor of Factor Xa has value as a therapeutic agent as an anticoagulant, e.g. in the treatment and prevention of thrombotic disorders. The use of a Factor Xa inhibitor as an anticoagulant is desirable in view of the selectivity of its effect. Many clinically approved anticoagulants have been associated with adverse events owing to the non-specific nature of their effects on the coagulation cascade.
Also, there are well-known associations of αl protease inhibitor deficiency with emphysema and cirrhosis and C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency with angioedema.
We have now found that certain novel amidine compounds are particularly effective as inhibitors of serine proteases, especially proteases with negatively charged P1 specificity pockets, and most especially the serine proteases thrombin, trypsin, urokinase and Factor Xa.
Thus viewed from one aspect we provide serine protease inhibitor compounds having an m-benzamidine group and a lipophilic group coupled to a cyclic group-attached carbon or nitrogen atom (hereinafter the alpha atom), the coupling of the m-benzamidine group to the alpha atom being by a linker group providing a two backbone atom linking chain, the backbone atoms being selected from C, N, O and S and at least one being C, optionally wherein one or both of the backbone atoms form part of a cyclic group and the coupling of the lipophilic group to the alpha atom being by a linker group capable of separating the alpha atom from the lipophilic group by a range of 2.3 to 6.5 Å in length.
In the compounds of the invention, the lipophilic group is itself optionally substituted by a hydrogen bond donor group. Where this is the case, the lipophilic group and its linker preferably are conformable to separate by from 7.5 to 15.0 Å the alpha atom and the hydrogen bond donor atom of the donor group.
Where distances from the alpha atom to the lipophilic group or to the hydrogen bond donor atom are mentioned, these relate to the distances between the centre of the alpha atom and the centre of the first atom of the lipophilic group or the centre of the hydrogen bond donor atom.
Such distances can be calculated from crystallographic data for any given compound from the bond lengths and bond angles for individual bonds along the length of the molecule between the alpha atom and the first atom of the lipophilic group or the hydrogen bond donor atom. Similarly such distances may be calculated with reasonable accuracy from the bond lengths and bond angles known to be typical of such individual bonds.
The linker between the alpha atom and the lipophilic group may itself be a lipophilic moiety, e.g. an alkylene chain. The nature of the linker may vary considerably—the primary requirement is that it be conformable to place part or all of the lipophilic group at a desired distance away from the alpha atom. The lipophilic group thus desirably is able to occupy at least part of a space 2.3 to 15.0 Å from the alpha atom. The length of the linker generally corresponds to 1 to 5 backbone atoms and may be a chain, branched chain or cyclic linker (e.g. a cyclic amide or an aromatic heterocycle). In one embodiment the alpha atom forms part of a cyclic group which also forms the linker to the lipophilic group.
Thus viewed from an alternative aspect the invention provides serine protease inhibitor compounds of formula I

The linker may be optionally branched, for example, to incorporate a polar functionality. In a preferred embodiment Y and L taken together form a cyclic group and the alpha atom is therefore a carbon atom. The cyclic group can be unsubstituted or substituted and can have a ring size of from 3 to 8 atoms.

For example, representative lipophilic groups include a methyl-cyclohexyl, methylcyclohexylmethyl, bispiperidinyl, methylphenylmethyl, phenylethyl, benzylpiperidinyl, benzoylpiperidinyl or phenylpiperazinyl and those as hereinbefore described;
D is a hydrogen bond donor group;
and n is 0, 1 or 2).
In one embodiment, L1 comprises the backbone of an alpha amino acid, the lipophilic group being the side chain of the amino acid. The carboxyl part of the alpha amino acid may be optionally coupled via an amide bond to an amino acid or to a primary or secondary cyclic or acyclic alkyl amine or diamine or via an ester bond to primary or secondary alcohols.
In a preferred embodiment, L1 represents a valence bond and the lipophilic group is bound directly to the carbonyl alpha to the alpha atom via a nitrogen atom which forms part of the lipophilic group. Suitable lipophilic groups in this case therefore include piperidinyl, pyrrolidinyl and piperazinyl. In a preferred embodiment the piperidine or piperazinyl group is further substituted by a phenyl, benzyl, piperidine, pyridine or benzoyl group, optionally substituted on the phenyl ring by one or more R3 groups.
In a further embodiment, the lipophilic group has attached a group of the formula —COOR1 or —CON-aminoacid or ester derivative thereof.
In another embodiment the group binding the alpha carbon atom to the lipophilic group comprises a heterocyclic group. Accordingly, preferred compounds of the invention also include




(wherein R1, R2 and R3 are as hereinbefore defined R1 and R2 preferably being hydrogen or one representing a metabolically labile group such as alkoxycarbonyl or hydroxy, R3 preferably being hydrogen, OH or NH2 and when other than hydrogen preferably being para to the amidine group);

For example, representative lipophilic groups include a methyl-cyclohexyl, methylcyclohexylmethyl, methylphenylmethyl, phenylethyl, benzylpiperidinyl, benzoylpiperidinyl, bispiperidinyl or phenylpiperazinyl;
D is a hydrogen bond donor group;
and n is 0, 1 or 2).
Where Het is a five membered ring, the two ring atoms at which it is connected are preferably separated by one ring atom. Where Het is a six-membered ring, the two ring atoms at which it is connected are preferably separated by one or two ring atoms. Representative heterocyclic groups include thiazole, oxazole, oxadiazole, triazole, thiadiazole or imidazole. Where the heterocyclic group is substituted by R3 this is preferably a COOH or COOR1 connected to the heterocycle via a valence bond or alkylene chain.
In a further embodiment, the lipophilic group has attached a group of the formula —COOR1 or —CON-aminoacid or ester derivative thereof.
The compounds of the invention may be prepared by conventional chemical synthetic routes, e.g. by amide bond formation to couple the benzamidine function to the alpha atom and to couple the lipophilic function to the alpha atom. Where the alpha atom is a carbon, the cyclic group-alpha atom combination may conveniently derive from an alpha amino acid with the benzamidine deriving from a m-amidino-benzoic acid. Amide formation from such reagents (in which the amidine function may if desired be protected during some or all of the synthesis steps) yields a compound of formula II.

Bd-CONH—CH(Cy)-COOH  (II)

(where Cy is as defined above and Bd is an optionally protected m-benzamidine group).

The lipophilic group (and optionally simultaneously the hydrogen bond donor) may then conveniently be introduced by reaction of a compound of formula II (or another analogous carboxylic acid) optionally after transformation into an activated form, e.g. an acid chloride or active ester, with a lipophilic group carrying an amine, hydroxylamine, hydrazine or hydroxyl group, e.g. to produce compounds with linkages of —CO—NR1—, —CO—NR1—O—, —CO—NR1—NR1— and —CO—O— from the alpha atom (where it is a carbon) to the lipophilic group. Where Y and L taken together form a cyclic amide group the lipophilic group can be conveniently introduced by reacting the compound of formula (II) with a lipophilic group carrying a secondary amine with an active side chain. Cyclisation can be base induced via nucleophilic attack of the alpha atom on a leaving group on the active side chain. If necessary the amide linkage can be reduced using an appropriate reducing agent employing the necessary protection depending on whether concurrent reduction of the carboxylic acid moiety is also desired. Alternatively a compound of formula II or another analogous carboxylic acid may be transformed into an alcohol by reaction with isobutylchloroformate and reduction with sodium borohydride.
Such an alcohol, e.g. of formula III

Bd-CONH—CH(Cy)CH2OH  (III),

can be reacted to introduce the lipophilic group by reactions such as:

alkylation with an alkyl halide in the presence of a base;
reaction with diethyl azodicarboxylate/triphenylphosphine and a hydroxylated aryl compound;
by reaction with an activated carboxylic acid (e.g. an acid chloride) or with a carboxylic acid and diethylazodicarboxylate/triphenylphosphine;
by reaction with an isocyanate; and
by treatment with methanesulphonyl chloride or trifluoromethanesulphonic anhydride and reaction with an amine, or with a thiol optionally followed by oxidation, e.g. with potassium metaperiodate or hydrogen peroxide.
In this way compounds with linkages of —CH2—O—, —CH2—O—CO—, —CH2—O—CO—NR1—, —CH2—NR1—, —CH2—S—, —CH2—SO— and —CH2—SO2— between the alpha carbon and the lipophilic group may be produced.
Alternatively the alcohol can be oxidized to form a corresponding aldehyde (e.g. by oxidation with manganese dioxide or DMSO/oxalyl chloride or DMSO/SO3 or Dess-Martin reagent) which may be reacted to introduce the lipophilic group by reactions such as:
reaction with Wittig reagents or Horner-Emmons reagents, optionally followed by reduction of the resulting carbon:carbon double bond using H2/Pd-carbon;
reaction with an organometallic, eg a Grignard reagent, optionally followed by reaction on the resulting hydroxyl group, such as oxidation (eg with MnO2, DMSO/oxalyl chloride or Dess-Martin reagent), alkylation (eg with an alkyl halide in the presence of a base in a solvent such as DMF), arylation (eg with diethylazo dicarboxylate/triphenyl phosphine and a hydroxyaryl compound), ester formation (eg with an acid chloride or with a carboxylic acid and diethylazido dicarboxylate/triphenyl phosphine), or carbamate formation (eg with an isocyanate);
by reaction with an amine followed by reduction, e.g. with sodium cyanoborohydride;
by reaction with a hydrazine; or
by reaction with a carbazide.
In this way compounds with linkages of —CH═CR1—, —CH2—CHR1—, —CHOH—, —CHR1—O—, —CHR1—O—CO—, —CHR1—O—CO—NR1—, —CO—, —CH2—NR1—, —CH═N—NR1— and —CH═N—NR1—CO—NR1— between the alpha carbon and the lipophilic group may be produced.
The transformation of alcohol to amine referred to above may be used to produce an amine reagent for lipophilic group introduction, e.g. a compound Bd-CONH—CH(Cy)-CH2—NR1H.
Such an amine reagent may be reacted to introduce the lipophilic group, e.g. by acylation with an acid halide or activated ester, by reaction with isocyanate, by reaction with an isothiocyanate, or by reaction with a sulphonyl chloride. In this way compounds with linkages of —CH2NR1—CO—, —CH2—NR1—CO—NR1—, —CH2NR1—CS—NR1— and —CH2NR1—SO2— between the alpha carbon and the lipophilic groups may be produced.
The transformation of acid to amide referred to above may be used to produce an amide reagent for introduction of the lipophilic group, e.g. a compound Bd-CONH—CH(Cy)-CON(R1)2.
Such amides may be reacted to introduce lipophilic groups, e.g. by reaction with a haloketone (e.g. phenacyl bromide). This provides a linkage




from alpha carbon to lipophilic group.

Analogously the amide may be transformed to a thioamide by reaction with Lawesson's reagent and then reacted with a haloketone to form a linkage




The amide reagent may likewise be transformed to a nitrile reagent by dehydration, e.g. with trifluoroacetic anhydride. The nitrile reagent may be reacted with hydrazine then with acyl halide and then cyclized, (e.g. with trifluoroacetic anhydride) to produce a linkage




Alternatively it may be treated with hydroxylamine then reacted with acyl halide and cyclized (e.g. with trifluoroacetic anhydride) to produce a linkage





The hydrazide produced by reaction of a carboxylic acid reagent with hydrazine discussed above may likewise be used as a reagent for lipophilic group introduction, e.g. as a compound of formula Bd-CONH—CH(Cy)-CO—NR1—N (R1)2.

Thus the hydrazide reagent can be reacted with an acyl halide and cyclized, e.g. with trifluoroacetic anhydride to yield a linkage




or reacted with an acyl halide or an isocyanate to yield linkages —CO—NR1—NR1—CO— and —CO—NR1—NR1—CO—NR1— respectively.

Alternatively the hydrazide may be transformed by reaction with Lawesson's reagent and then reacted with an acyl halide and cyclized (e.g. with trifluoroacetic anhydride) to produce the linkage




An alternative route to these compounds is to carry out any of the above chemical reactions to incorporate the lipophilic group (an optional H bond donor) into a protected intermediate such as a compound of formula (IV).




The protecting group may then be removed before coupling of the m-amidino benzoic acid (optionally protected).
A starting reagent for lipophilic group introduction where the alpha atom is nitrogen may be produced for example by reaction of a beta protected hydrazine (such protection to be chosen as to be compatible with the subsequent reagents to be employed) with phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene or N,N′carbonyl diimidazole to give a reactive compound of the type:




This intermediate may be used as has been described above for the carboxylic starting reagents where the alpha atom is carbon.

Removal of the protecting group by standard methods and coupling with an activated m-carboxyl-benzamidine will give compounds of the type

Bd-CONH—N(Cy)-L-Lp(D)n

(where Bd, X, Y, Cy, L, Lp and D are as defined above)

Thus viewed from a further aspect the invention provides a process for the preparation of a compound according to the invention which process comprises coupling a lipophilic group to a compound of formula (V)

Bd-(X)2—Y(Cy)-Z  (V)

(where Bd, X, Y and Cy are as defined above and Z is a reactive functional group), and optionally subsequently coupling a hydrogen bond donor group to said lipophilic group.

The compounds of the invention may be administered by any convenient route, e.g. into the gastrointestinal tract (e.g. rectally or orally), the nose, lungs, musculature or vasculature or transdermally. The compounds may be administered in any convenient administrative form, e.g. tablets, powders, capsules, solutions, dispersions, suspensions, syrups, sprays, suppositories, gels, emulsions, patches etc. Such compositions may contain components conventional in pharmaceutical preparations, e.g. diluents, carriers, pH modifiers, sweeteners, bulking agents, and further active agents. Preferably the compositions will be sterile and in a solution or suspension form suitable for injection or infusion. Such compositions form a further aspect of the invention. Viewed from this aspect the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a serine protease inhibitor according to the invention together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
Viewed from a further aspect the invention provides the use of a serine protease inhibitor according to the invention for the manufacture of a medicament for use in a method of treatment of the human or non-human animal body (e.g. a mammalian, avian or reptilian body) to combat (i.e. treat or prevent) a condition responsive to said inhibitor.
Viewed from a further aspect the invention provides a method of treatment of the human or non-human animal body (e.g. a mammalian, avian or reptilian body) to combat a condition responsive to a serine protease inhibitor (e.g. a condition such as a thrombotic disorder responsive to a factor Xa inhibitor), said method comprising administering to said body an effective amount of a serine protease inhibitor according to the invention.
The dosage of the inhibitor compound of the invention will depend upon the nature and severity of the condition being treated, the administration route and the size and species of the patient. However in general, quantities of from 0.01 to 100 μmol/kg bodyweight will be administered.

Preparation of (D,L)-N-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl-4-phenylphenylglycine
A solution of 4-biphenylcarboxaldehyde (4.6 g 25 mmol), sodium cyanide (3.68 g 75 mmol) and ammonium carbonate (9.60 g 100 mmol) in 50% aqueous ethanol (175 ml) was heated at 50° C. for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, concentrated under reduced pressure and acidified to pH 2.0 with concentrated hydrochloric acid (fume hood). The intermediate 4-(4-phenylphenyl)-2,5-imidazolinedione was collected by filtration, washed with dilute (0.5%) HCl and dried before using as crude in the next stage. (Filtrates were retained and treated with sodium hypochlorite solution before disposal) The intermediate 4-(4-phenylphenyl)-2,5-imidazolinedione was refluxed in 16% aqueous sodium hydroxide (100 ml, 16% w/v) for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then filtered, cooled, diluted with water (100 ml) and then shaken with ethyl acetate and separated. The aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 5.1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and the solid obtained collected by filtration, washed with a little water and dried to give 4-phenylphenylglycine (2.36 g, 42%). 1H nmr (d6 DMSO) consistent with desired product.
To a vigorously stirred solution of 4-phenylphenylglycine (500 mg 2.2 mmol) in DCM (20 ml) was added DIPEA (614 μl 4.4 mmol) and then, carefully, chlorotrimethylsilane (558 μl 4.4 mmol) and the mixture refluxed for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath and fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride (742 mg 2.2 mmol) was added in one portion. After stirring at 0° C. for 20 min the ice bath was removed and stirring was continued for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue stirred with a mixture of diethyl ether (20 ml) and saturated sodium carbonate solution (30 ml). A yellow solid which failed to dissolve in either layer was taken up in water (20 ml) and acidified to pH 1 with dilute hydrochloric acid. The mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer washed with water (2×20 ml), dried with magnesium sulphate and evaporated to dryness. Recrystallisation from ethanol/water afforded (D,L)-N-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl-4-phenylphenylglycine (640 mg, 65%).

3 Cyanobenzoic acid (10 g, 68 mmol) was refluxed in ethanol (300 ml) on an isomantle fitted with reflux condenser and soxhlet extractor, the thimble being filled with A4 molecular sieve. Reflux was continued for 10 hours. The heating was then removed and the solution allowed to cool. The solution was then cooled in an ice bath and saturated with hydrogen chloride gas. The sealed flask was allowed to stand overnight then evaporated to dryness. To the dry product was added saturated ammonia/ethanol solution (400 ml) and the flask sealed and allowed to stand overnight. The solution was then evaporated to dryness and then treated with 2M sodium hydroxide solution (3 eq., 102 ml), the resulting solution was stirred for 2 hours then extracted with ethylacetate (100 ml). The aqueous layer was then acidified, with 10% aq hydrochloric acid (200 ml) in one lot and extracted with ethylacetate (100 ml). Concentrated ammonia solution was added to pH 14 and the solution cooled in the fridge overnight. The precipitate formed was filtered off and washed with water, dissolved in 10% TFA water and lyophilised to a white powder (12 g).

Synthesis of Inhibitors
Method 1: Using a solid phase strategy on a Protein Technologies, Symphony Multiple Peptide Synthesiser by attachment of bis amino compounds to Peg-2-chlorotrityl chloride resin: 2-Chlorotrityl chloride resin was typically treated with greater than 2 fold excess of the di-amine in dry DCM The resin was further modified by the attachment of acids. Activation of Fmoc protected amino acid (2-5 eq) was by TBTU/DIPEA, all couplings minimum 120 min.) were carried out in DMF. Deprotection of the Fmoc group was achieved with 20% (v/v) piperidine in DMF. Other acid substituents were added as the HOBt or HOAt esters either by activation with HBTU/HATU or DIPCI with or without Boc protection of amino groups. Cleavage of the products from the resin was by treatment (30 min., ambient) with 10% (v/v) triethylsilane in TFA, filtration, evaporation and trituration with diethylether.
Synthesis Using the Symphony Multiple Peptide Synthesiser.
The Symphony Multiple Peptide Synthesiser is charged with DMF, DCM, TBTU in DMF (450 mM), DIPEA in DMF (900 mM), 20% (v/v) piperidine in DMF. Resins are held in plastic reaction vessels that allow the introduction of reagents and solvents and nitrogen for agitation or air drying.
A typical synthesis cycle on the Symphony is as follows:
The reaction vessel containing the resin (0.1 mmol) is charged with the Fmoc protected amino acid (0.5 mmol) and then this is dissolved in DMF (2.5 ml), treated with TBTU (0.56 mmol, 1.25 ml) and DIPEA (1.1 mmol, 1.25 ml) and agitated with nitrogen for 2 hours (agitation times may vary). After coupling the resin is washed with DMF (6×5 ml) then deprotected with 20% (v/v) piperidine in DMF (2×5 ml for 1 min. each, then 1×5 ml for 8 min.) the resin is then washed with DMF (6×5 ml)

Bis-1,4 aminomethylcyclohexane (2 ml) was added to 2 chlorotrityl chloride resin (1.2 mmol/g, 0.73 g) pre swollen in dry DCM (4 ml). After 2 h the resin was washed with DCM (6×5 ml), DMF (6×5 ml) and DCM (6×5 ml). The resin was then air dried to allow aliquots to be taken.
The bis-1,4-aminomethylcyclohexane 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (0.1 mmol) was treated with Fmoc-D-Phenylglycine (0.5 mmol, 187 mg), DMF (2.5 ml), TBTU in DMF (1.25 ml of a 450 mM solution) and DIPEA in DMF (1.25 ml of a 900 mM solution). The mixture was agitated with nitrogen for 2 hours. Deprotection and washing as above.
HOBt (0.5 mmol, 68 mg) dissolved in DMF (4 ml) at 0° C. was treated with DIPCI (0.5 mmol, 80 μl), for 10 min. 3-amidinobenzoic acid TFA salt (0.5 mmol, 139 mg.) was added and stirring continued for 10 min. at room temperature. The mixture was transferred to the reaction vessel on the Symphony and agitated for 10 hours with nitrogen. The resin was washed with DMF (6×5 ml), DCM (6×5 ml) and air dried. The product was cleaved from the resin with 10% triethylsilane in TFA (10 ml) for 30 minutes, the resin filtered off and the TFA solution evaporated to dryness and triturated with diethyl ether to give the crude product. The crude product was dissolved in water (10 ml), filtered and purified by preparative reverse phase Hplc.

Method 3: By solid phase strategy on a Protein Technologies, Symphony Multiple Peptide Synthesiser using Fmoc amino acids attached to TentaGel S-resin (Rapp Polymere) via the Rink amide linker: Typically the TentaGel resin was treated with a 5 fold excess of the Rink linker, TBTU (1 eq.), DIPEA (2 eq.). The resin was washed with DMF and deprotected with 20% piperidine in DMF before further modification. The resin was further modified by the attachment of acids. Activation of Fmoc protected amino acid (2-5 eq) was by TBTU/DIPEA, all couplings (minimum 120 min.) were carried out in DMF. Deprotection of the Fmoc group was achieved with 20% piperidine in DMF. Other acid substituents were added as the HOBt or HOAt esters either by activation with HBTU/HATU or DIPCI with or without Boc protection of amino groups. Cleavage of the products from the resin was by treatment (30 min., ambient) with 10% triethylsilane in TFA, filtration, evaporation and trituration with ether.
EXAMPLE 34

On the Symphony TentaGel S—NH2 resin (0.1 mmol, 400 mg, 0.24 mmol./g) was treated with Rink linker (0.5 mmol, 270 mg), DMF (2.5 ml), TBTU in DMF (1.25 ml of a 450 mM solution) and DIPEA in DMF (1.25 ml of a 900 mM solution). The mixture was agitated with nitrogen for 2 hours. Deprotection and washing as above.
On the Symphony Rink-TentaGel resin (0.1 mmol) was then treated with Fmoc-D-Phenylalanine-(0.5 mmol, 194 mg), DMF (2.5 ml), TBTU in DMF (1.25 ml of a 450 mM solution) and DIPEA in DMF (1.25 ml of a 900 mM solution). The mixture was agitated with nitrogen for 2 hours. Deprotection and washing as above.
The resin (0.1 mmol) was then treated with Fmoc-D-Phenylglycine (0.5 mmol, 187 mg), DMF (2.5 ml), TBTU in DMF (1.25 ml of a 450 mM solution) and DIPEA in DMF (1.25 ml of a 900 mM solution). The mixture was agitated with nitrogen for 2 hours. Deprotection and washing as above.
HOBt (0.5 mmol, 68 mg) dissolved in DMF (4 ml) was stirred at ice bath with DIPCI (0.5 mmol, 80 μl) for 10 min. 3-amidino-benzoic acid TFA salt (0.5 mmol, 139 mg.) was added and stirring continued for 10 min. at room temperature. The mixture was then transferred to the reaction vessel on the Symphony and agitated for 10 hours with nitrogen. The resin was then washed with DMF (6×5 ml), DCM (6×5 ml) and air dried. The product was cleaved from the resin with 10% triethylsilane in TFA (10 ml) for 30 minutes, the resin filtered off, the TFA solution evaporated to dryness and triturated with diethyl ether to give the crude product. The crude product was then dissolved in water (10 ml), filtered and purified by preparative reverse phase Hplc.

Method 4: By solution phase strategy: Typically an activated Boc-amino acid was treated with an amine (primary or secondary) or alcohol (1 eq.). Activation of Boc protected amino acid was by HATU or TBTU/DIPEA (1:2), all couplings (minimum 120 min.) were carried out in DMF. After an aqueous work up the deprotection of the Boc group was achieved with TFA. Other acid substituents were added as the HOBt or HOAt esters either by activation with HBTU/HATU or DIPCI with or without Boc protection of amino groups. The final products were purified by preparative reverse phase Hplc.
EXAMPLE 58
3-Amidino-benzoyl-D-phenylglycine-1-adamantylamide
Boc D-phenylglycine (251 mg, 1 mmol.) was dissolved in DMF (3 ml) with HATU (380 mg., 1 mmol.) and DIPEA (350 μl., 2 mmol.). To this mixture was added 1-adamantylamine hydrochloride (187 mg., 1 mmol.) and DIPEA (170 μl., 1 mmol.). The mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was then taken up into ethylacetate and washed with water, sodium carbonate solution, water, 10% hydrochloric acid solution and water. The ethylacetate was evaporated without drying and treated immediately with TFA for 30 min. The TFA was then evaporated to dryness and the product triturated with diethylether. TEA (1 ml) was added and evaporated to dryness. HOBt (1 mmol, 136 mg) dissolved in DMF (4 ml) was stirred at 0° C. and treated with DIPCI (1 mmol, 160 μl), for 10 min. 3 amidino benzoic acid TFA salt (1 mmol., 278 mg.) was added and stirring continued for 10 min. at room temperature. The mixture was then added to the D-phenylglycine adamantyl amide and stirred overnight. The crude product was dissolved in water/acetonitrile (20 ml), filtered and purified by preparative Hplc to yield pure product (150 mg.)

Method 5: By solid phase strategy using Boc amino acids attached to Kaiser Oxime resin (Novabiochem): Typically the resin is treated with a 2 fold excess of the Boc phenylglycine symmetrical anhydride. The resin was washed with DCM/DMF then DCM and deprotected with 25% TFA in DCM before further modification. The resin was further modified by the attachment of acids. Activation of Boc protected amino acid (2-5 eq) was by TBTU/DIPEA, all couplings (minimum 120 min.) were carried out in DCM/DMF. Deprotection of the Boc group was achieved with 25% TFA in DCM. Other acid substituents were added as the HOBt or HOAt esters either by activation with HBTU/HATU or DIPCI with or without Boc protection of amino groups. Cleavage of the products from the resin was by treatment (1 day, ambient) with an amine or alcohol in chloroform, washing with chloroform and methanol/chloroform.
EXAMPLE 69

Method 6: By solution phase strategy: Typically an activated Fmoc amino acid was treated with an alcohol (1 eq.) which contains a Boc protected amino group. Activation of Fmoc protected amino acid was by HATU or TBTU/DIPEA (1:2), all couplings (minimum 120 min.) were carried out in DMF with DBU as catalyst After an aqueous work up the deprotection of the Fmoc group was achieved with 20% piperidine in DMF followed by evaporation and column chromatography. Other acid substituents were added as the HOBt or HOAt esters either by activation with HBTU/HATU or DIPCI with or without Boc protection of amino groups. The products were purified by preparative reverse phase Hplc, followed by deprotection of the amino groups with TFA. Further modification to acetamidine or amidine can be achieved by known literature methods. (2,3)

Assay Protocols

Enzyme Inhibition Assays:



Enzyme assays were carried out at room temperature in 0.1M phosphate buffer, pH7.4 according to the method of Tapparelli et al (J. Biol. Chem. 1993,268,4734-4741). Purified human factor Xa, trypsin, thrombin and plasmin were purchased from Alexis Corporation, Nottingham, UK. Urokinase was purchased from Calbiochem, Nottingham, UK. Chromogenic substrates for these enzymes; pefachrome-FXA, pefachrome-TRY, pefachrome-TH, pefachrome-PL and pefachrome-UK were purchased from Pentapharm AG, Basel, Switzerland. Product (p-nitroaniline) was quantified by adsorption at 405 nm in 96 well microplates using a Dynatech MR5000 reader (Dynex Ltd, Billingshurst, UK). Km and Ki were calculated using SAS PROC NLIN (SAS Institute, Cary, N.C., USA, Release 6.11) Km values were determined as 100.9 μM for factor Xa/pefachrome-FXA and 81.6 μM for trypsin/pefachrome-TRY. Inhibitor stock solutions were prepared at 40 mM in Me2SO and tested at 500 μM, 50 μM and 51M. Accuracy of Ki measurements was confirmed by comparison with Ki values of known inhibitors of factor Xa and trypsin.
In agreement with published data, benzamidine inhibited factor Xa, trypsin, thrombin, plasmin and urokinase with Ki values of 155 μM, 21 μM, 330 nM, 200 nM and 100 nM respectively. NAPAP inhibited thrombin with a Ki value of 3 nM. Compounds of the invention were found to have activity in these assays.
Antithrombotic Activity
The test material (Factor Xa inhibitor) was administered either intravenously, intraperitoneally or orally to a group of rats for experiment. A second group received vehicle (saline) only as a control, and a third group of animals received a standard antithrombotic (subcutaneous 1 mw heparin) as a positive control.
To perform the experiment male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-400 g in weight) were anaesthetised by the inhalation of isoflurane with the addition of oxygen and nitrous oxide. The left or right femoral vein was carefully exposed and isolated from the femoral artery and saphenous nerve. Following removal of connective tissue a cannula containing physiological saline was inserted into the femoral vein.
A segment of each of the left and right jugular vein was exposed and separated from the surrounding connective tissue. Each segment consisted of the section of vein between the exit point from the thorax to the vessel's first major junction.
At the desired interval following the administration of the test material or vehicle a bolus injection of ‘deactivated’ human serum (1.32 ml.kg−1) was administered over less than 30 seconds, via the femoral vein cannula. Two minutes following the thrombus challenge both the jugular vein segments were ligatured at both ends and left in situ for thrombi to form.
After 10 min both jugular segments were carefully excised, and placed in a petri dish containing 0.9% saline. A blood sample (1.8 ml blood+0.2 ml 3.8% sodium citrate) was obtained by cardiac puncture and the animal sacrificed by an overdose of Expiral (sodium pentobarbitone) administered intravenously via the femoral vein cannula or by cardiac puncture. The 2 segments of jugular vein were carefully dissected longitudinally along one surface to expose the lumen and dispel the vessel contents into the saline. The tissues were examined for the presence of any developed thrombi and scored accordingly.
Thrombus score:

    
    
        0=No thrombus
        1=One or several small thrombi
        2=Several larger thrombi
        3=Large thrombus occluding the vessel
    
    


Compounds of the invention were found to have significant antithrombotic activity in these assays.
Partial Thromboplastin Time Test Protocol
Venous blood was collected into 3.2% (0.109 m) trisodium citrate vacutainer tubes at 1 volume of anticoagulant to nine volumes of blood.
The blood cells were separated by centrifugation at 700 g for ten minutes to yield plasma, which was frozen at 70° C. until required.
To perform the test, 100 μl of plasma was pipetted into in a glass test tube, 1 μl of test compound in DMSO was added, and allowed to warm to 37° over two minutes.
100 μl of warm (37°) Manchester (tissue thromboplasin) reagent (Helena Biosciences, UK) was added, allowed to equilibrate for sixty seconds.
100 μl of warm (37°) 25 mM calcium chloride solution was added to initiate clotting.
The test tube was tilted three times through a 90° angle every five seconds to mix the reagents and the time to clot formation recorded.
Data from a series of observations and test compound concentrations are analysed by a SAS statistical analysis program and a CT2 (Concentration required to double clotting time) for each compound is generated.
Compounds of the invention were found to significantly elongate the partial thromboplastin time.
Kaolin Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Test Protocol
Venous blood was collected into 3.2% (0.109 m) trisodium citrate vacutainer tubes at 1 volume of anticoagulant to nine volumes of blood.
The blood cells were separated by centrifugation at 700 g for ten minutes to yield plasma, which was frozen at 70° C. until required.
To perform the test, 100 μl of plasma was pipetted into in a glass test tube, 1 μl of test compound in DMSO was added, and allowed to warm to 37° over two minutes.
10 μl of APTT reagent resuspended in Owren's buffer (Thrombosis Reference Centre University of Manchester, Withington Hospital, Manchester) was added, mixed thoroughly, and 100 μl of prewarmed kaolin suspension in Owren's buffer added.
This mixture was incubated for ten minutes at 37°, with regular gentle mixing by tilting through a 90° angle, three times sequentially at one minute intervals to maintain the kaolin in suspension.
After ten minutes 100 μl of 25 mM calcium chloride solution was added, the suspension redispersed by mixing as above and the time to clot formation recorded.
Data from a series of observations and test compound concentrations are analysed by a SAS statistical analysis program and a CT2 (Concentration required to double clotting time) for each compound is generated.

EXAMPLES 189 AND 190
The compounds of Examples 189 and 190 were prepared by the method described below, but using the appropriate starting materials.
Boc D-phenylglycine (251 mg, 1 mmol.) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (3 ml) with HATU [O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate] (380 mg., 1 mmol.) and diisopropylethylamine (350 μl., 2 mmol.). To this mixture was added 4-methylbenzylamine (121 mg., 1 mmol.) and diisopropylethylamine (170 μl., 1 mmol.). The mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was then taken up into ethylacetate and washed with water, sodium carbonate solution, water, 10% hydrochloric acid solution and water. The ethylacetate was evaporated without drying and treated immediately with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) for 30 min. The TFA was then evaporated to dryness and the product triturated with diethylether. Triethylamine (1 ml) was added and evaporated to dryness. A solution of 3-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid (76 mg, 0.5 mmole) in dry dimethylformamide (DMF) was treated with TBTU [2-(1H-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluroniumtetrafluoro-borate] (161 mg., 0.5 mmol.) and diisopropylethylamine (1.5 mmol.). The mixture was then added to the D-phenylglycine-4-methylbenzylamide (0.5 mmol.) and stirred overnight. The crude product was dissolved in water/acetonitrile (20 ml), filtered and purified by preparative Hplc to yield pure product.
