Description: [Technical field] The present invention relates to novel piperazinecarboxylic acid derivatives having excellent collagenase inhibiting activity. [Background art] Collagenase degrades collagen, which is one of the main components of the connective tissues. Of the collagenases, type IV collagenases degrade type IV collagen, which is a main component of the basement membranes. It is known that the activity of type IV collagenases is raised at the time of angiogenesis accompanied by cancer growth and at the time of cancer invasion and metastasis, and that these enzymes play an important role in the degradation of the basement membranes [William G. Stetler-Stevenson; Cancer and Metastasis Reviews, Vol. 9, 289-303 (1990)]. Accordingly, a collagenase inhibitor may be useful for the prevention and treatment of these diseases. Hitherto, there have been reports concerning low molecular weight substances showing collagenase inhibiting effects, including peptide compounds containing a mercapto group [Robert D. Gray, Hossain H. Saneii and Arno F. Spatola: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol. 101, No. 4, 1251-1258 (1981); Charles F. Vencill, David Rasnick, Katherine V. Crumley, Norikazu Nishino and James C. Powers: Biochemistry, Vol. 24, 3149-3157 (1985)]; peptide compounds containing a carboxyl group [Jean-Marie Delaisse, Yves Eeckhout, Christopher Sear, Alan Galloway, Keith McCullagh and Gilbert Vaes: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications Vol. 133, 483-490 (1985)]; benzyloxycarbonyl propyl-leucyl-glycylhydroxamic acid [William M. Moore and Curtis A. Spilburg: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol. 136, 390-395 (1986)]; and hydroxylamine derivatives (Japanese Patent Kokai Application Hei No. 1-160997). Furthermore, SC 44463 has been reported [Reuven Reich, Erik W. Thompson, Yukihide Iwamoto, George R. Martin, James R. Deason, George C. Fuller and Ruth Miskin: Cancer Research, Vol. 48, 3307-3312 (1988)] as an inhibitor relatively specific to type IV collagenases. SC 44463 has been confirmed to exhibit an inhibitory activity on cancer metastasis in an animal experiment. The above compounds, however, are synthetic ones and are not yet put to practical use. On the other hand, the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) and related substances are known as collagenase inhibitors of the protein type. It becomes possible to prepare TIMP on a large scale by recombinant DNA technology, but it has not yet been put to practical use [A. J. P. Docherty, A. Lyons, B. J. Smith, E. M. Wright, P. E. Stephens, T. J. R. Harris, G. Murghy and J. J. Reynolds: Sequence of human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases and its identity to erythroid-potentiating activity; Nature, Vol. 318, 66-69 (1985)]. As a compound having a hydroxylamino-substituted 2-pentylsuccinic acid structure, actinonin has been isolated from the culture filtrate of actinomycetes. This compound has been reported to inhibit aminopeptidase M at low concentrations [H. Umezawa, T. Aoyagi, T. Tanaka, T. Suda, A. Okuyama, H. Naganawa, M. Hamada and T. Takeuchi: J. Antibiotics, Vol. 38, 1629-1630 (1985)], however, it has not been investigated whether or not it inhibits type IV collagenases. Furthermore, a natural product having the following chemical structure has been isolated from a strain which belongs to streptomyces and is known to have antibacterial and collagenase inhibiting activities (Japanese Patent Kokai Application Hei 3-157372 and WO-A-91/17982, the latter of which was published between the priority date and the filing date of the present application). In addition, in Japanese Patent Kokai Application Hei 3-53891, the formula of the compound is described, and the compound is said to have antibacterial activity, however, there is no disclosure of its inhibitory activity on type IV collagenases. [Disclosure of Invention] The present inventors have eagerly studied the synthesis of derivatives having better inhibitory activity against type IV collagenases and the pharmacological activities of these derivatives. The study resulted in the finding that new matlystatin derivatives have excellent inhibitory activity against type IV collagenases and that these derivatives can be useful inhibitors of angiogenesis, inhibitors of cancer invasion and inhibitors of cancer metastasis; and they completed the present invention.

Where an amino-protecting group is an aralkyl or aralkyloxycarbonyl group, it can preferably be removed by contacting with a reducing agent (preferably catalytic reduction at ambient temperature in the presence of a catalyst) or with an oxidizing agent in a solvent. In the case of deprotection by catalytic reduction, there is no particular limitation upon the nature of the solvent used, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction. Examples of preferred solvents include: alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol; ethers, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene; aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane or cyclohexane; esters, such as ethyl acetate or propyl acetate; fatty acids, such as acetic acid; and a mixture of one or more of these organic solvents and water. There is no particular limitation upon the nature of the catalyst used, provided that it can be used as a catalyst in conventional catalytic reductions. Examples of preferred catalysts include: palladium on charcoal, Raney nickel, platinum oxide, platinum black, rhodium on alumina, triphenylphosphine-rhodium chloride and palladium on barium sulfate. There is no particular limitation upon the pressure used and the reaction is usually carried out at a pressure of 1 to 10 atmospheric pressures. The reaction temperature and the time required for the reaction vary depending upon the nature of the starting material and of the solvent but the reaction is usually carried out at a temperature of 0° to 100°C for a period of 5 minutes to 24 hours. In the case of deprotection by oxidation, the solvent used is not particularly critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction. A preferred solvent is an aqueous organic solvent. Preferred examples of such solvents include: ketones, such as acetone; halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride; nitriles, such as acetonitrile; ethers, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; amides, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide or hexamethylphosphoramide; and sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide. There is no particular limitation upon the nature of the oxidizing agent used, provided that it can be used in conventional oxidation. Examples of preferred oxidizing agents include: potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate, ammonium cerium nitrate (CAN) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ). Although the reaction temperature and the time required for the reaction vary depending upon the nature of the starting material and of the solvent as well as the type of the catalyst used, the reaction is usually conducted at a temperature of 0° to 150°C for a period of 10 minutes to 24 hours. Where an amino-protecting group is an alkenyloxycarbonyl group, it can usually be removed by treating with a base in a similar manner as where an amino-protecting group is the said aliphatic acyl, aromatic aryl or alkoxycarbonyl group, or a substituted methylene group capable of forming a Schiff's base. Where an amino-protecting group is an aryloxycarbonyl group, it can simply be eliminated by using palladium, triphenylphosphine or nickel tetracarbonyl and the side reactions are suppressed. The reaction temperature depends upon the nature of the starting material and of the solvent as well as the type of the reagent to be used, but the reaction is usually carried out at a temperature of 0° to 150°C, preferably 20° to 100°C. The time required for the reaction depends upon the reaction temperature and other factors, such as the nature of the starting material and of the solvent, but the reaction is usually complete within a period of 1 to 100 hours, preferably 2 to 24 hours. After completion of the reaction, the desired compound is isolated from the reaction mixture, for example: by neutralizing the reaction mixture properly; filtering off insoluble materials, if any; adding water and a water-immiscible organic solvent, such as ethyl acetate; separating the organic layer; washing the extract with water; drying over a drying agent, such as anhydrous magnesium sulfate; and distilling off the solvent. The desired product thus obtained can be purified, if necessary, by conventional means, such as recrystallization, reprecipitation or chromatography. (Step 16) In this step, a compound (19) is prepared by reacting a compound (18) with a reagent for the deprotection of an amino-protecting group in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 15. (Step 17) In this step, a compound (20) can be prepared by reacting a compound (16) (provided that either of R 9 or R 10 is a methoxy group when the other group is methyl) with a reagent R 7 M [wherein M signifies alkali metals, such as lithium, or a Grignard reagent (MgBr or MgCl)] in an inert solvent. There is no particular limitation upon the nature of the solvent used, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction and can dissolve the starting material in some extent. Examples of such solvents include: aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, heptane, ligroin or petroleum ether; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene; halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dichloroethane, chlorobenzene or dichlorobenzene; ethers, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethoxyethane or diethylene glycol dimethyl ether. The reaction temperature depends upon the nature of the starting material and of the solvent as well as the type of the reagent used, but the reaction is usually carried out at a temperature of -70° to 50°C, preferably -40° to 30°C. The time required for the reaction depends upon the reaction temperature and other factors, such as the nature of the starting material and of the solvent, but the reaction is complete within a period of 5 minutes to 24 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, the desired compound is isolated from the reaction mixture, for example: by neutralizing the reaction mixture properly; filtering off insoluble materials, if any; adding water and a water-immiscible organic solvent, such as ethyl acetate; separating the organic layer; washing the extract with water; drying over a drying agent, such as anhydrous magnesium sulfate; and distilling off the solvent. The desired product thus obtained can be purified, if necessary, by conventional means, such as recrystallization, reprecipitation or chromatography. (Step 18) In this step, a compound (21) can be prepared by reacting a compound (20) with a reagent for the deprotection of an amino-protecting group in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 15. (Step 19) In this step, a compound (22) can be prepared by reacting a compound (4) with a compound (13) in an inert solvent in the presence of a condensing agent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 14. (Step 20) In this step, a compound (23) can be prepared by removing a protecting group, B 4 , of a compound (22) in an inert solvent. Deprotecting procedures depend upon the nature of the protecting group used, but can be conducted according to a method well-known in this art field. Where a carboxyl-protecting group is a tert-butyl or benzhydryl group, it is deprotected by treating with trifluoroacetic acid, hydrobromic acid in acetic acid or hydrochloric acid in dioxane. Where a carboxyl-protecting group is a trichloroethyl or trichlorobromo group, it is deprotected by reacting with zinc powder in a mixture of acetic acid or a phosphate buffer solution (pH = 4.27 - 7.2) and ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran. Where a carboxyl-protecting group is an aralkyl group, such as a benzyl group, it is deprotected by contacting with a reducing agent in a solvent (preferably catalytic reduction at ambient temperature in the presence of a catalyst). (Step 21) In this step, a compound (24) can be prepared by reacting a compound (23) with a hydroxylamine, B 6 ONH 2 , in an inert solvent and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 19. (Step 22) In this step, a compound (1A) can be prepared by removing the protecting groups, A and B 6 , of a compound (24) in an inert solvent, with the proviso that B 1 has the same significance as R 3 . Miscellaneous methods are conducted in this step depending upon the nature of the protecting groups. For example, in the case of a compound (24) wherein B 6 represents a benzyl group and A represents a benzyloxycarbonyl group, such protecting groups can be removed by catalytic reduction, which is carried out in a suitable solvent, such as alcohol, ether or acetic acid in the presence of a catalyst, such as palladium on charcoal or platinum in a stream of hydrogen. There both A and B 6 represent a tert-butoxycarbonyl group, elimination of a protecting group can be accomplished under an acidic condition using trifluoroacetic acid, hydrobromic acid in acetic acid or hydrochloric acid in dioxane. In all cases, the deprotection can be accomplished under the commonly used conditions for the deprotection of an amino- or hydroxyl-protecting groups. There is no particular limitation upon the nature of the solvent used, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction and can dissolve the starting material in some extent. Examples of such solvents include: aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, heptane, ligroin or petroleum ether, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene; halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dichloroethane, chlorobenzene or dichlorobenzene, esters, such as ethyl formate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate or diethyl carbonate; ethers, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethoxyethane or diethylene glycol dimethyl ether; alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, tert-butanol, isoamyl alcohol, diethylene glycol, glycerin, octanol, cyclohexanol or methyl cellosolve; ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, isophorone or cyclohexanone; nitro compounds, such as nitroethane or nitrobenzene; nitriles, such as acetonitrile or isobutyronitrile; amides, such as formamide, dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoramide; sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide or sulfolane. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of -20° to 100°C, preferably 0° to 40°C. The time required for the reaction depends upon the reaction temperature and other factors, such as the nature of the starting material and of the solvent used, but the reaction is usually complete within a period of 0.5 to 48 hours, preferably 1 to 5 hours. After completion of the reaction, the desired compound is isolated from the reaction mixture, for example: by distilling off the solvent; pouring the reaction mixture into water; acidifying with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid; extracting with a water-immiscible solvent, such as benzene, ether or ethyl acetate; and distilling off the solvent from the extract. The product thus obtained can usually be used in the following reaction without further purification but if desired, can be purified by conventional means, such as chromatography or recrystallization. (Step 23) In this step, a compound (25) can be prepared by eliminating a protecting group, B 1 , of a compound (24) in an inert solvent and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 20. (Step 25) In this step, a compound (27) can be prepared by reacting a compound (25) with an amine, R 4 R 5 NH, in an inert solvent in the presence of a condensing agent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 14. (Step 27) In this step, a compound (1C) can be prepared by removing the protecting groups, A and B 6 , in a compound (27) in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 22. (Step 28) In this step, a compound (28) can be prepared by reacting a compound (25) with a compound (21), which is commercially available or prepared in Step 18, in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 25. (Step 29) In this step, a compound (29) can be prepared by reacting a compound (25) with a compound (19), which is commercially available or prepared in Step 16, in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 25. (Step 30) In this step, a compound (30) can be prepared by reacting a compound (25) with a compound (17), which is commercially available or prepared in Step 15, in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 25. (Step 31) In this step, a compound (1D) can be prepared by reacting a compound (28) with a reagent for deprotection in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 22. (Step 32) In this step, a compound (1E) can be prepared by reacting a compound (29) with a reagent for deprotection in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 22. (Step 33) In this step, a compound (1F) can be prepared by reacting a compound (30) with a reagent for deprotection in an inert solvent, and the reaction is conducted in a manner similar to that of Step 22.
