BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Aspartic proteases, including renin, β-secretase (BACE), HIV protease, HTLV protease and plasmepsins I and II, are implicated in a number of disease states. In hypertension elevated levels of angiotensin I, the product of renin catalyzed cleavage of angioteninogen are present. Elevated levels of β amyloid, the product of BACE activity on amyloid precursor protein, are widely believed to be responsible for the amyloid plaques present In the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. The viruses HIV and HTLV depend on their respective aspartic proteases for viral maturation. Plasmodium falciparum uses plasmepsins I and II to degrade hemoglobin.
In the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) the biologically active peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) is generated by a two-step mechanism. The highly specific aspartic protease renin cleaves angiotensinogen to angiotensin I (Ang I), which is then further processed to Ang II by the less specific angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Ang II is known to work on at least two receptor subtypes called AT1 and AT2. Whereas AT1 seems to transmit most of the known functions of Ang II, the role of AT2 is still unknown.
Modulation of the RAAS represents a major advance in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (Zaman, M. A. et al Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 2002, 1, 621-636). ACE inhibitors and AT1 blockers have been accepted as treatments of hypertension (Waeber B. et al., “The renin-angiotensin system: role in experimental and human hypertension”, in Berkenhager W. H., Reid J. L. (eds): Hypertension, Amsterdam, Elsevier Science Publishing Co, 1996, 489-519; Weber M. A., Am. J. Hypertens., 1992, 5, 247S). In addition, ACE inhibitors are used for renal protection (Rosenberg M. E. et al., Kidney International, 1994, 45, 403; Breyer J. A. et al., Kidney International, 1994, 45, S156), in the prevention of congestive heart failure (Vaughan D. E. et al., Cardiovasc. Res., 1994, 28, 159; Fouad-Tarazi F. et al., Am. J. Med., 1988, 84 (Suppl. 3A), 83) and myocardial infarction (Pfeffer M. A. et al, N Engl. J. Med., 1992, 327, 669).
Interest in the development of renin inhibitors stems from the specificity of renin (Kleinert H. D., Cardiovasc. Drugs, 1995, 9, 645). The only substrate known for renin is angiotensinogen, which can only be processed (under physiological conditions) by renin. In contrast, ACE can also cleave bradykinin besides Ang I and can be bypassed by chymase, a serine protease (Husain A., J. Hypertens., 1993, 11, 1155). In patients, inhibition of ACE thus leads to bradykinin accumulation causing cough (5-20%) and potentially life-threatening angioneurotic edema (0.1-0.2%) (Israili Z. H. et al., Annals of Internal Medicine, 1992, 117, 234). Chymase is not inhibited by ACE inhibitors. Therefore, the formation of Ang II is still possible in patients treated with ACE inhibitors. Blockade of the AT1 receptor (e.g., by losartan) on the other hand overexposes other AT-receptor subtypes to Ang II, whose concentration is dramatically increased by the blockade of AT1 receptors. In summary, renin inhibitors are not only expected to be superior to ACE inhibitors and AT1 blockers with regard to safety, but more importantly also with regard to their efficacy in blocking the RAAS.
Only limited clinical experience (Azizi M. et al., J. Hypertens., 1994, 12, 419; Neutel J. M. et al., Am. Heart, 1991, 122, 1094) has been generated with renin inhibitors because their peptidomimetic character imparts insufficient oral activity (Kleinert H. D., Cardiovasc. Drugs, 1995, 9, 645). The clinical development of several compounds has been stopped because of this problem together with the high cost of goods. It appears as though only one compound has entered clinical trials (Rahuel J. et al., Chem. Biol., 2000, 7, 493; Mealy N. E., Drugs of the Future, 2001, 26, 1139). Thus, metabolically stable, orally bioavailable and sufficiently soluble renin inhibitors that can be prepared on a large scale are not available. Recently, the first non-peptide renin inhibitors were described which show high in vitro activity (Oefner C. et al, Chem. Biol., 1999, 6, 127; Patent Application WO 97/09311; Maerki H. P. et al., Il Farmaco, 2001, 56, 21). The present invention relates to the unexpected identification of renin inhibitors of a non-peptidic nature and of low molecular weight. Orally active renin inhibitors which are active in indications beyond blood pressure regulation where the tissular renin-chymase system may be activated leading to pathophysiologically altered local functions such as renal, cardiac and vascular remodeling, atherosclerosis, and restenosis, are described.

Enantiomers, Diastereomers, and Salts
Certain of the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors may exist in various tautomeric forms. The invention encompasses all such forms, including forms those not depicted structurally.
Certain of the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors may exist in various stereoisomeric forms. Stereoisomers are compounds which differ only in their spatial arrangement. Enantiomers are pairs of stereoisomers whose mirror images are not superimposable, most commonly because they contain an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom that acts as a chiral center. “Enantiomer” means one of a pair of molecules that are mirror images of each other and are not superimposable. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not related as mirror images, most commonly because they contain two or more asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms. The symbol “*” in a structural formula represents the presence of a chiral carbon center. “R” and “S” represent the configuration of substituents around one or more chiral carbon atoms. Thus, “R*” and “S*” denote the relative configurations of substituents around one or more chiral carbon atoms. When a chiral center is not defined as R or S and the configuration at the chiral center is not defined by other means, either configuration can be present or a mixture of both configurations is present.
“Racemate” or “racemic mixture” means a compound of equimolar quantities of two enantiomers, wherein such mixtures exhibit no optical activity; i.e., they do not rotate the plane of polarized light.
“Geometric isomer” means isomers that differ in the orientation of substituent atoms in relationship to a carbon-carbon double bond, to a cycloalkyl ring, or to a bridged bicyclic system. Atoms (other than H) on each side of a carbon-carbon double bond may be in an E (substituents are on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond) or Z (substituents are oriented on the same side) configuration.
Atoms (other than H) attached to a carbocyclic ring may be in a cis or trans configuration. In the “cis” configuration, the substituents are on the same side in relationship to the plane of the ring; in the “trans” configuration, the substituents are on opposite sides in relationship to the plane of the ring. A mixture of “cis” and “trans” species is designated “cis/trans”.
“R,” “S,” “S*,” “R*,”, “E,” “Z,” “cis,” and “trans,” indicate configurations relative to the core molecule.
The point at which a group or moiety is attached to the remainder of the compound or another group or moiety can be indicated by  which represents 
The disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors may be prepared as individual isomers by either isomer-specific synthesis or resolved from an isomeric mixture. Conventional resolution techniques include forming the salt of a free base of each isomer of an isomeric pair using an optically active acid (followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base), forming the salt of the acid form of each isomer of an isomeric pair using an optically active amine (followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free acid), forming an ester or amide of each of the isomers of an isomeric pair using an optically pure acid, amine or alcohol (followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary), or resolving an isomeric mixture of either a starting material or a final product using various well known chromatographic methods.
When the stereochemistry of a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor is named or depicted by structure, the named or depicted stereoisomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight pure relative to the other stereoisomers. When a single enantiomer is named or depicted by structure, the depicted or named enantiomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight optically pure. Percent optical purity by weight is the ratio of the weight of the enantiomer over the weight of the enantiomer plus the weight of its optical isomer.
When a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor is named or depicted by structure without indicating the stereochemistry, and the inhibitor has at least one chiral center, it is to be understood that the name or structure encompasses one enantiomer of inhibitor free from the corresponding optical isomer, a racemic mixture of the inhibitor and mixtures enriched in one enantiomer relative to its corresponding optical isomer.
When a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor is named or depicted by structure without indicating the stereochemistry and has at least two chiral centers, it is to be understood that the name or structure encompasses a diastereomer free of other diastereomers, a pair of diastereomers free from other diastereomeric pairs, mixtures of diastereomers, mixtures of diastereomeric pairs, mixtures of diastereomers in which one diastereomer is enriched relative to the other diastereomer(s) and mixtures of diastereomeric pairs in which one diastereomeric pair is enriched relative to the other diastereomeric pair(s).
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the aspartic protease inhibitors are included in the present invention. For example, an acid salt of an aspartic protease inhibitor containing an amine or other basic group can be obtained by reacting the compound with a suitable organic or inorganic acid, resulting in pharmaceutically acceptable anionic salt forms. Examples of anionic salts include the acetate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bicarbonate, bitartrate, bromide, calcium edetate, camsylate, carbonate, chloride, citrate, dihydrochloride, edetate, edisylate, estolate, esylate, fumarate, glyceptate, gluconate, glutamate, glycollylarsanilate, hexylresorcinate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroxynaphthoate, iodide, isethionate, lactate, lactobionate, malate, maleate, mandelate, mesylate, methylsulfate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, pamoate, pantothenate, phosphate/diphosphate, polygalacturonate, salicylate, stearate, subacetate, succinate, sulfate, tannate, tartrate, teoclate, tosylate, and triethiodide salts.
Salts of aspartic protease inhibitors containing a carboxylic acid or other acidic functional group can be prepared by reacting with a suitable base. Such a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be made with a base which affords a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, which includes alkali metal salts (especially sodium and potassium), alkaline earth metal salts (especially calcium and magnesium), aluminum salts and ammonium salts, as well as salts made from physiologically acceptable organic bases such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, morpholine, pyridine, piperidine, picoline, dicyclohexylamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, 2-hydroxyethylamine, bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, tri-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, procaine, dibenzylpiperidine, dehydroabietylamine, N,N′-bisdehydroabietylamine, glucamine, N-methylglucamine, collidine, quinine, quinoline, and basic amino acid such as lysine and arginine.
When a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt is named or depicted by structure, it is to be understood that solvates or hydrates of the aspartic protease inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also included. “Solvates” refer to crystalline forms wherein solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice during crystallization. Solvate may include water or nonaqueous solvents such as ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, and EtOAc. Solvates, wherein water is the solvent molecule incorporated into the crystal lattice, are typically referred to as “hydrates”. Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water.
When a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt is named or depicted by structure, it is to be understood that the compound, including solvates thereof, may exist in crystalline forms, non-crystalline forms or a mixture thereof. The aspartic protease inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates may also exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline forms). These different crystalline forms are typically known as “polymorphs.” It is to be understood that when named or depicted by structure, the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or hydrates also include all polymorphs thereof. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that different polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the conditions used in solidifying the compound. For example, changes in temperature, pressure, or solvent may result in different polymorphs. In addition, one polymorph may spontaneously convert to another polymorph under certain conditions.
It may be necessary and/or desirable during synthesis to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. Representative conventional protecting groups are described in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis” John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York 1999. Protecting groups may be added and removed using methods well known in the art.
The disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors are useful for ameliorating or treating disorders or diseases in which decreasing the levels of aspartic protease products is effective in treating the disease state or in treating infections in which the infectious agent depends upon the activity of an aspartic protease. In hypertension elevated levels of angiotensin I, the product of renin catalyzed cleavage of angioteninogen are present. Elevated levels of β amyloid, the product of BACE activity on amyloid precursor protein, are believed to be responsible for the amyloid plaques present in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. The viruses HIV and HTLV depend on their respective aspartic proteases for viral maturation. Plasmodium falciparum uses plasmepsins I and II to degrade hemoglobin.

The dosage form containing the composition of the invention contains an effective amount of the active ingredient necessary to provide a therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect. The composition may contain from about 5,000 mg to about 0.5 mg (preferably, from about 1,000 mg to about 0.5 mg) of a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor or salt form thereof and may be constituted into any form suitable for the selected mode of administration. The composition may be administered about 1 to about 5 times per day. Daily administration or post-periodic dosing may be employed.
For oral administration, the composition is preferably in the form of a tablet or capsule containing, e.g., 500 to 0.5 milligrams of the active compound. Dosages will vary depending on factors associated with the particular patient being treated (e.g., age, weight, diet, and time of administration), the severity of the condition being treated, the compound being employed, the mode of administration, and the strength of the preparation.
The oral composition is preferably formulated as a homogeneous composition, wherein the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the mixture, which may be readily subdivided into dosage units containing equal amounts of a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor. Preferably, the compositions are prepared by mixing a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor (or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) with one or more optionally present pharmaceutical carriers (such as a starch, sugar, diluent, granulating agent, lubricant, glidant, binding agent, and disintegrating agent), one or more optionally present inert pharmaceutical excipients (such as water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and syrup), one or more optionally present conventional tableting ingredients (such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, and any of a variety of gums), and an optional diluent (such as water).
Binder agents include starch, gelatin, natural sugars (e.g., glucose and beta-lactose), corn sweeteners and natural and synthetic gums (e.g., acacia and tragacanth). Disintegrating agents include starch, methyl cellulose, agar, and bentonite.
Tablets and capsules represent an advantageous oral dosage unit form. Tablets may be sugarcoated or filmcoated using standard techniques. Tablets may also be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a prolonged, control-release therapeutic effect. The dosage form may comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, wherein the outer component is in the form of an envelope over the inner component. The two components may further be separated by a layer which resists disintegration in the stomach (such as an enteric layer) and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or a layer which delays or sustains release. A variety of enteric and non-enteric layer or coating materials (such as polymeric acids, shellacs, acetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate or combinations thereof) may be used.
The disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors may also be administered via a slow release composition; wherein the composition includes a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor and a biodegradable slow release carrier (e.g., a polymeric carrier) or a pharmaceutically acceptable non-biodegradable slow release carrier (e.g., an ion exchange carrier).
Biodegradable and non-biodegradable slow release carriers are well known in the art. Biodegradable carriers are used to form particles or matrices which retain an active agent(s) and which slowly degrade/dissolve in a suitable environment (e.g., aqueous, acidic, basic and the like) to release the agent. Such particles degrade/dissolve in body fluids to release the active compound(s) therein. The particles are preferably nanoparticles (e.g., in the range of about 1 to 500 nm in diameter, preferably about 50-200 nm in diameter, and most preferably about 100 nm in diameter). In a process for preparing a slow release composition, a slow release carrier and a disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor are first dissolved or dispersed in an organic solvent. The resulting mixture is added into an aqueous solution containing an optional surface-active agent(s) to produce an emulsion. The organic solvent is then evaporated from the emulsion to provide a colloidal suspension of particles containing the slow release carrier and the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor.
The disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection in a liquid form such as aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil or peanut oil and the like, or in elixirs or similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Suitable dispersing or suspending agents for aqueous suspensions, include synthetic and natural gums such as tragacanth, acacia, alginate, dextran, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, and gelatin. The liquid forms in suitably flavored suspending or dispersing agents may also include synthetic and natural gums. For parenteral administration, sterile suspensions and solutions are desired. Isotonic preparations, which generally contain suitable preservatives, are employed when intravenous administration is desired.
The disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors may be administered parenterally via injection. A parenteral formulation may consist of the active ingredient dissolved in or mixed with an appropriate inert liquid carrier. Acceptable liquid carriers usually comprise aqueous solvents and other optional ingredients for aiding solubility or preservation. Such aqueous solvents include sterile water, Ringer's solution, or an isotonic aqueous saline solution. Other optional ingredients include vegetable oils (such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, and sesame oil), and organic solvents (such as solketal, glycerol, and formyl). A sterile, non-volatile oil may be employed as a solvent or suspending agent. The parenteral formulation is prepared by dissolving or suspending the active ingredient in the liquid carrier whereby the final dosage unit contains from 0.005 to 10% by weight of the active ingredient. Other additives include preservatives, isotonizers, solubilizers, stabilizers, and pain-soothing agents. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared, in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed.
The disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors may be administered intranasally using a suitable intranasal vehicle.
The disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors may also be administered topically using a suitable topical transdermal vehicle or a transdermal patch.
For ocular administration, the composition is preferably in the form of an ophthalmic composition. The ophthalmic compositions are preferably formulated as eye-drop formulations and filled in appropriate containers to facilitate administration to the eye, for example a dropper fitted with a suitable pipette. Preferably, the compositions are sterile and aqueous based, using purified water. In addition to the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitor, an ophthalmic composition may contain one or more of: a) a surfactant such as a polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester; b) a thickening agents such as cellulose, cellulose derivatives, carboxyvinyl polymers, polyvinyl polymers, and polyvinylpyrrolidones, typically at a concentration in the range of about 0.05 to about 5.0% (wt/vol); c) (as an alternative to or in addition to storing the composition in a container containing nitrogen and optionally including a free oxygen absorber such as Fe), an anti-oxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisol, ascorbic acid, sodium thiosulfate, or butylated hydroxytoluene at a concentration of about 0.00005 to about 0.1% (wt/vol); d) ethanol at a concentration of about 0.01 to 0.5% (wt/vol); and
e) other excipients such as an isotonic agent, buffer, preservative, and/or pH-controlling agent. The pH of the ophthalmic composition is desirably within the range of 4 to 8.
The invention is further defined by reference to the examples, which are intended to be illustrative and not limiting.
Representative compounds of the invention can be synthesized in accordance with the general synthetic schemes described above and are illustrated in the examples that follow. The methods for preparing the various starting materials used in the schemes and examples are well within the knowledge of persons skilled in the art.

Step 1. (R)-tert-butyl 3-(methoxy(methyl)carbamoyl)piperidine-1′-carboxylate
To a stirred solution of (R)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidine-3-carboxylic acid (233 g, 1.2 mol) in THF (1.2 L) was added carbonyldiimidazole (230 g, 1.42 mol). The mixture was stirred for 1 h in an ice-water bath. A suspension of triethylamine (207 mL, 1.41 mol) and N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (138 g, 1.42 mol) in THF (900 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred overnight. After tlc showed the reaction was complete, the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1.2 L) and washed successively with 0.5 N aq HCl, satd aq Na2CO3 and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give (R)-tert-butyl 3-(methoxy(methyl)-carbamoyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (250 g, 91%), which was used in the next step directly without purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.60-1.78 (m, 2H), 1.90 (m, 1H), 2.65 (m, 1H), 2.75-2.85 (m, 2H), 3.16 (s, 3H), 3.71 (s, 3H), 4.05-4.19 (m, 2H).

Step 3. (R)-tert-butyl 3-((S)-4-amino-1-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-hydroxybutyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate
A 250 mL, round bottom flask was charged with magnesium turnings (0.528 g, 21.7 mmol, 1.16 equiv) and THF (10 mL). The flask was flushed with N2 and heated to 100° C. A small crystal of iodine was added. A solution of 1-(3-bromopropyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane (5.239 g, 18.7 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (15 mL) was added dropwise to the boiling THF mixture over 10 min. The reaction mixture was stirred and heated under reflux until most of the Mg was consumed (2.5 h) to afford a solution of [3-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopent-1-yl)propyl]magnesium bromide.
To a 250-mL, round bottom flask were added (3-chlorophenyl)((R)—N-Boc-piperidin-3-yl)methanone (0.800 g, 2.47 mmol) and THF (10 mL). The flask was evacuated and refilled with N2. The mixture was cooled with a dry ice-acetone bath and the [3-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopent-1-yl)propyl]magnesium bromide solution was added via a cannula. The reaction mixture was allowed to slowly warm to −8° C. while stirring overnight. The mixture was quenched with 10% aq Na2CO3 (10 mL), stirred at rt for 3 h and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×). The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated.

To a stirred suspension of NaH (0.608 g, 15.2 mmol) in THF (100 mL) at 0-5° C. was added dropwise a solution of (R)-tert-butyl 3-((3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)(hydroxy)methyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylate (4.35 g, 12.68 mmol) in THF (30 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 1 h at rt. A solution of ethyl bromoacetate (2.52 g, 15.2 mmol) in THF (30 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture was refluxed for 5 h. Tlc showed the starting material had disappeared. The reaction mixture was poured into satd aq NH4Cl, extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel to afford (R)-tert-butyl 3-((3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethoxy)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (4.368 g, 80%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 0.861 (m, 2H), 1.25 (m, 6H), 1.38&1.43 (s, 9H), 1.59-2.10 (m, 3H), 2.75 (m, 1H), 3.80 (s, 1H), 3.96 (m, 2H), 4.18 (m, 2H), 4.62 (m, 1H), 7.12 (m, 1H), 7.33 (m, 2H); MS (E/Z): 430 (M+1)
Step 4. (R)-tert-butyl 3-((2-amino-2-oxoethoxy)(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

The mixture was cooled in an ice/brine bath so that the internal temperature was below 0° C., and KOtBu (22.3 g, 0.199 mol, 2.5 equiv) was added in portions at a rate which maintained the reaction temperature below 10° C. The mixture was heated to 35° C. and allowed to stir for 16 h. After this time the mixture was cooled to ambient and ca 100 mL of Et2O was added. The mixture was filtered through a bed of Celite and the cake washed with additional Et2O. The resulting orange solution was evaporated. The tacky residue was taken up in Et2O and the resulting solution filtered through Celite and evaporated, yielding 10.0 g of the crude nitrile. This material was placed in a flask containing 200 mL of 2.25 M KOH. The mixture was heated to reflux for 17 h. The mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature and transferred to a separatory funnel. The aqueous layer was extracted with 3×50 mL of CH2Cl2 and placed in a flask and cooled to 0° C. The pH was lowered to <2 by addition of concentrated HCl. The resulting slurry was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with 4×50 mL of EtOAc.

Example 3
Methyl 2-((R)—((R)-1-((S)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(methylamino)propan-2-ylcarbamoyl)piperidin-3-yl)(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy)ethylcarbamate




Step 1. Methyl 2-((R)—((R)-1-((S)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(N-methyl-N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)amino)propan-2-ylcarbamoyl)piperidin-3-yl)(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy)ethylcarbamate
To a solution of tert-butyl (S)-2-amino-3-cyclohexylpropylmethylcarbamate (65 mg, 0.24 mmol) and CDI (40 mg, 0.24 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (5 mL) cooled in an ice bath was added DIEA (104 mg, 0.81 mmol). After addition, the mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C., a solution of methyl 2-((R)-(3-fluorophenyl)((R)-piperidin-3-yl)methoxy)ethylcarbamate (50 mg, 0.16 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred overnight. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The product was purified by preparative tlc to afford the desired isomer of methyl 2-((R)—((R)-1-((S)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(N-methyl-N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)amino)propan-2-ylcarbamoyl)piperidin-3-yl)(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy)ethylcarbamate (50 mg, 52% yield). MS (E/Z): 607 (M+H+).
Step 2. Methyl 2-((R)—((R)-1-((S)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(methylamino)propan-2-ylcarbamoyl)piperidin-3-yl)(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy)ethylcarbamate
A mixture of methyl 2-((R)—((R)-1-((S)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(N-methyl-N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)amino)propan-2-ylcarbamoyl)piperidin-3-yl)(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy)ethylcarbamate (20 mg, 0.03 mmol) and a 20% solution of TFA in CH2Cl2 (2 mL) were stirred for about 1 h at rt until the reaction was complete. The solvent was removed by evaporation and the crude product was purified by preparative HPLC to afford methyl 2-((R)—((R)-1-((S)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(methylamino)propan-2-ylcarbamoyl)piperidin-3-yl)(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy)ethylcarbamate (7.5 mg, 44% yield). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): 0.90 (m, 1H), 1.04 (m, 1H), 1.11-1.45 (m, 8H), 1.51 (m, 1H), 1.71 (m, 7H), 2.71 (s, 3H), 2.91 (m, 2H), 3.06 (m, 1H), 3.23 (m, 3H), 3.61 (s, 3H), 3.81 (m, 1H), 4.07 (m, 2H), 7.03 (m, 2H), 7.09 (m, 1H), 7.36 (m, 1H).

The mixture was stirred at rt for 3 d, diluted with ether (90 mL), washed with 5% aq HCl (20 mL), IM aq NaOH (20 mL) and brine (20 mL), and dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent left a white solid (61 mg) which was applied to a 2-g silica SPE cartridge. The cartridge was eluted sequentially with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% EtOAc in hexanes (15 mL of each) to afford five fractions. Fractions 4 and 5 were pooled and concentrated to afford methyl (S)-4-((R)-1-((S)-2-(t-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-cyclohexylpropylcarbamoyl)piperidin-3-yl)-4-(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-hydroxybutylcarbamate (35 mg) as an oil.

Pharmacological Methods
In Vitro Activity Studies
The disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors have enzyme-inhibiting properties. In particular, they inhibit the action of the natural enzyme renin. The latter passes from the kidneys into the blood where it effects the cleavage of angiotensinogen, releasing the decapeptide angiotensin I which is then cleaved in the blood, lungs, the kidneys and other organs by angiotensin converting enzyme to form the octapeptide angiotensin II. The octapeptide increases blood pressure both directly by binding to its receptor, causing arterial vasoconstriction, and indirectly by liberating from the adrenal glands the sodium-ion-retaining hormone aldosterone, accompanied by an increase in extracellular fluid volume. That increase can be attributed to the action of angiotensin II. Inhibitors of the enzymatic activity of renin bring about a reduction in the formation of angiotensin I. As a result a smaller amount of angiotensin II is produced. The reduced concentration of that active peptide hormone is the direct cause of the hypotensive effect of renin inhibitors.
Fluorescence Assay
The action of renin inhibitors in vitro can be demonstrated experimentally by means of a test which measures the increase in fluorescence of an internally quenched peptide substrate. The sequence of this peptide corresponds to the sequence of human angiotensinogen. The following test protocol can be used. All reactions are carried out in a flat bottom white opaque microtiter plate. A 4 μL aliquot of 400 μM renin substrate (DABCYL-γ-Abu-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu-Val-Ile-His-Thr-EDANS) in 192 μL assay buffer (50 mM BES, 150 mM NaCl, 0.25 mg/mL bovine serum albumin, pH7.0) is added to 4 μL of test compound in DMSO at various concentrations ranging from 10 μM to 1 nM final concentrations. Next, 100 μL of trypsin-activated recombinant human renin (final enzyme concentration of 0.2-2 nM) in assay buffer is added, and the solution is mixed by pipetting. The increase in fluorescence at 495 nm (excitation at 340 nm) is measured for 60-360 minutes at rt using a Perkin-Elmer Fusion microplate reader. The slope of a linear portion of the plot of fluorescence-increase as a function of time is then determined, and the rate is used for calculating percent inhibition in relation to uninhibited control. The percent inhibition values are then plotted as a function of inhibitor concentration, and the IC50 is determined from a fit of this data to a four parameter equation. The IC50 is defined as the concentration of a particular inhibitor that reduces the formation of product by 50% relative to a control sample containing no inhibitor. In the in vitro systems, the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors exhibit inhibiting activities at minimum concentrations of from approximately 5×10−5 M to approximately 10−12 M. Specific aspartic protease inhibitors exhibit inhibiting activities at minimum concentrations of from approximately 10−7 M to approximately 10−12 M. (Wang G. T. et al. Anal. Biochem. 1993, 210, 351; Nakamura, N. et al. J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 1991, 109, 741; Murakami, K. et al. Anal Biochem. 1981, 110, 232).
Plasma Assay
The action of renin inhibitors in vitro in human plasma can also be demonstrated experimentally by the decrease in plasma renin activity (PRA) levels observed in the presence of the compounds. Incubations mixtures contain in the final volume of 250 μL 95.5 mM N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, pH 7.0, 8 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM neomycin sulfate, 1 mg/mL sodium azide, 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, 2% DMSO and 87.3% of pooled mixed-gender human plasma stabilized with EDTA. For plasma batches with low PRA (less than 1 ng/ml/hr)  ̃2 pM of recombinant human renin is added to achieve PRA of 3-4 ng/ml/hr. The cleavage of endogenous angiotensinogen in plasma is carried out at 37° C. for 90 min and the product angiotensin I is measured by competitive radioimmunoassay using DiaSorin PRA kit. Uninhibited incubations containing 2% DMSO and fully inhibited controls with 2 μM of isovaleryl-Phe-Nle-Sta-Ala-Sta-OH are then used for deriving percent of inhibition for each concentration of inhibitors and fitting dose-response data into a four parametric model from which IC50 values, defined as concentrations of inhibitors at which 50% inhibition occurs, are determined.
Results
The in vitro enzyme activity studies were carried out for compounds of the invention and the data is shown below:
Compounds I-1a through I-76a have an IC50 for renin (fluorescence assay) of between about 5,000 nM to about 0.001 nM. Many of these compounds have an IC50 between about 50 nM to about 0.001 nM; and others between about 5 nM to about 0.001 nM.

In Vivo Activity Studies
The cardiac and systemic hemodynamic efficacy of selective renin inhibitors can be evaluated in vivo in sodium-depleted, normotensive cynomolgus monkeys and in sodium-depleted, normotensive beagle dogs following a single oral and intravenous administration of the test compound. Arterial blood pressure is monitored by telemetry in freely moving, conscious animals.
Cynomolgus Monkey: Six male naïve cynomolgus monkeys weighing between 2.5 and 3.5 kg can be used in the studies. At least 4 weeks before the experiment, the monkeys are anesthetized with ketamine hydrochloride (15 mg/kg, i.m.) and xylazine hydrochloride (0.7 mg/kg, i.m.), and are implanted into the abdominal cavity with a transmitter (Model #TL11M2-D70-PCT, Data Sciences, St. Paul, Minn.). The pressure catheter is inserted into the lower abdominal aorta via the femoral artery. The bipotential leads are placed in Lead II configuration. The animals are housed under constant temperature (19-25° C.), humidity (>40%) and lighting conditions (12 h light and dark cycle), are fed once daily, and are allowed free access to water. The animals are sodium depleted by placing them on a low sodium diet (0.026%, Expanded Primate Diet 829552 MP-VENaCl (P), Special Diet Services, Ltd., UK) 7 days before the experiment and furosemide (3 mg/kg, intramuscularly i.m., Aventis Pharmaceuticals) is administered at −40 h and −16 h prior to administration of test compound.
For oral dosing, the renin inhibitors are formulated in 0.5% methylcellulose at dose levels of 10 and 30 mg/kg (5 mL/kg) by infant feeding tubes. For intravenous delivery, a silastic catheter is implanted into posterior vena cava via a femoral vein. The catheter is attached to the delivery pump via a tether system and a swivel joint. Test compound (dose levels of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg, formulated at 5% dextrose) is administered by continuous infusion (1.67 mL/kg/h) or by bolus injection (3.33 mL/kg in 2 min).
Arterial blood pressures (systolic, diastolic and mean) and body temperature are recorded continuously at 500 Hz and 50 Hz, respectively, using the DataquestTM A.R.T. (Advanced Research Technology) software. Heart rate is derived from the phasic blood pressure tracing. During the recording period, the monkeys are kept in a separate room without human presence to avoid pressure changes secondary to stress. All data are expressed as mean±SEM. Effects of the renin inhibitors on blood pressure are assessed by ANOVA, taking into account the factors dose and time compared with the vehicle group.
Beagle Dogs: Non-naive Beagle dogs (2 per sex) weighing between 9 and 11 kg can be used in the studies. Each animal is implanted subcutaneously with a telemetry transmitter (Data Sciences) and the blood pressure catheter is inserted into the left femoral artery. The electrocardiogram leads are also tunneled subcutaneously to the appropriate anatomical regions. The animals are housed under constant temperature and lighting conditions, are fed once daily, and are allowed free access to water. A sodium depleted state is produced by placing them on a low-sodium diet (<4 meq/day, a combination of canned Prescription Diet canine h/d, from Hill's Pet Products and dry pellets from Bio-Serv Inc., Frenchtown, N.J.) beginning 10 days before the experiment, and furosemide (3 mg/kg i.m.; Aventis Pharmaceuticals) is administered at −40 and −16 h prior to administration of test compound.
A renin inhibitor is orally administered by orogastric gavage to all overnight fasted animals at a dose level of 30 mg/kg (4 mL/kg formulated in 0.5% methylcellulose). Food is given 4 h postdose. In some experiments, the renin inhibitor is administered by bolus i.v. at increasing dose levels of 1, 3 and 6 mg/kg (2, 6 and 20 mg/mL formulated in sterile saline). Cardiovascular parameters are collected continuously at least 80 min predose and 3 h postdose, followed by every 10 min for 5 h and every 30 min for 16 h postdose. The DataquestTM ART (version 2.2) software package from DSI (Data Sciences International) is used to collect telemetered cardiovascular data.
Double Transgenic Rats: The efficacy of the renin inhibitors can also evaluated in vivo in double transgenic rats engineered to express human renin and human angiotensinogen (Bohlender J, Fukamizu A, Lippoldt A, Nomura T, Dietz R, Menard J, Murakami K, Luft F C, Ganten D. High human renin hypertension in transgenic rats. Hypertension 1997, 29, 428-434). In vivo activity for compound 7 was conducted according to the following procedures.
Experiments were conducted in 6-week-old double transgenic rats (dTGRs). The model has been described in detail earlier. Briefly, the human renin construct used to generate transgenic animals made up the entire genomic human renin gene (10 exons and 9 introns), with 3.0 kB of the 5′-promoter region and 1.2 kB of 3′ additional sequences. The human angiotensinogen construct made up the entire human angiotensinogen gene (5 exons and 4 introns), with 1.3 kB of 5′-flanking and 2.4 kB of 3′-flanking sequences. The rats were purchased from RCC Ltd (Füllinsdorf, Switzerland). Radio telemetry transmitters were surgically implanted at 4 weeks of age. The telemetry system provided 24-h recordings of systolic, mean, diastolic arterial pressure (SAP, MAP, DAP, respectively) and heart rate (HR). Beginning on day 42, animals were transferred to telemetry cages. A 24 h telemetry reading was obtained. Rats were then dosed orally on the following 4 consecutive days (days 43-46). The rats were monitored continuously and allowed free access to standard 0.3%-sodium rat chow and drinking water.
Results
The in vivo double transgenic rat activity for compound XL-7 is shown in the FIG. 1. As shown in the FIG. 1, compound XL-7 exhibited significant effect in lowering blood pressures of double transgenic rats at a dosage of 10 mg/kg.
The in vivo double transgenic rat activities for compound L-6a are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in FIG. 2, compound L-6a is readily available in rat's plasma following oral administration and the plasma concentration of compound L-6a remains relatively high over 24 h period, demonstrating its excellent oral bioavailability and metabolic stability. In addition, compound L-6a exhibited significant effect in lowering blood pressures of double transgenic rats at a dosage of 10 mg/kg, as shown in FIG. 3.
