An effective amount is an amount whereby the symptoms of inflammation or arthritis such as pain and discomfort are relieved or reduced or mobility of the affected area is increased. A typical dosage is about 0.001 mg to 1.0 gram with dose determined by the particular mode of administration, use and frequency of administration. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises pyrazolopyrimidine (Formula 1) and pyrimidinyl (Foraiula 2) (alkoxymethylphosphinyl)alkyl phosphonic and bisphosphonic (Formula 3) esters, acids and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which are structurally represented by Formula 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of arthritis and its associated symptoms such as inflammation and excessive bone growth or remodeling. These diseases include osteoporosis, Paget's disease, periodontal disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, neuritis, bursitis, soft tissue mineralization disorders, ankylosing spondylitis, atherosclerosis, multiple myeloma of bone, metastic bone disease, and mitral valve calcification. In particular, the compounds of Formula 3 do not inhibit cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase metabolism of arachidonic acid and so constitute a novel method of treating inflammation. In Formulas 1, 2 and 3, the variable designations are further defined as follows. The carbon content of various hydrocarbon containing moieties is indicated by a prefix designating the minimum and maximum number of carbon atoms in the moiety, i.e., the prefix C j -Cj defines the number of carbon atoms present from the integer "i" to the integer "j" inclusive. Thus, C C 3 alkyl refers to alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms, inclusive, or methyl, ethyl, propyl, and isopropyl. With respect to the above, C j -C 6 alkyl is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, and isomeric forms thereof. C 3 -C 7 cycloalkyl is cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane and isomeric forms thereof. The term "halo" includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo and "Ph" is phenyl. C r Cg alkylthio are methylthio, ethylthio, propylthio, butylthio, pentylthio, hexylthio, heptylthio, octothio, and isomeric forms thereof. C j -C alkoxy are methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, pentoxy, hexoxy, heptoxy, octooxy, and isomeric forms thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts means salts useful for administering the compounds of this invention and include potassium, sodium hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, phosphate, acetate, propionate, lactate, mesylate, maleate, malonate, succinate, tartrate, citric acid and the like. These salts may be in hydrated form. The pyrazolopyrimidine (alkoxymethylphosphinyl)alkyl phosphonic esters, acids and derivatives (Formula 1) useful as anti-inflammatories and antiaithritics are prepared as follows in Examples 1-12. The general pyrazolopyrimidine heterocyclic ring structure can be prepared by procedures well known in the art. For example, the synthesis of pyrazolo[l,5-a]pyrimidines is described by M.H. Elnagdi, G.E.H. Elgemeie, and M.R.H. Elmoghayar in Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, Vol. 41, pg 319; M.R.H. Elmoghayar et al., Pyrimidine Derivatives and Related Compounds, Arch. Pharm. (Weinheim), 316, pp 697-702 (1983); and T. Novinson et al., 3- Substituted 5,7-Dimethylpyrazolo(l,5-a)pyrimidines, J. Med. Chem., 17, pp 645-48 (1974). The pyrimidinyl (alkoxymethylphosphinyl)alkyl phosphonic esters, acids and derivatives (Formula 2) useful as an anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic are prepared as follows and as described in Examples 13-16. The synthesis of 4-pyrimidinones is well known to those skilled in the art. Briefly, a β-keto ester is treated with acetamidine hydrochloride in the presence of base to form the parent heterocycle. The base can be sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium methoxide, or sodium ethoxide. The reaction can be run neat or the solvent can be ethanol or methanol. N- alkylated derivatives are synthesized by treatment of the parent compound with an electrophile in the presence of base, such as potassium carbonate, sodium hydride, or potassium fluoride. In Formula 3, when R j is not hydrogen, then the compounds are calcium channel blockers useful for the treatment of unstable angina, hypertension, control of heart rate, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Both pyrazolopyrimidines and 4-pyrimidones (Formulas 1 and 2) can be deprotonated using any number of strong bases to form stabilized carbanions. Such carbanions after a standard workup can then be added to l-(Ethoxymethylphosphinyl)-l-ethanyl phosphonic acid, diethyl ester to give structures of the type illustrated by Formula 1 and Formula 2. l-(Ethoxymethylphosphinyl)-l-ethenyl phosphonic acid diethyl ester is prepared from (ethoxymethylphosphinyl)methyl phosphonic acid, diethyl ester using known chemistry. One method of preparing (ethoxymethylphosphinyl)methyl phosphonic acid is the Arbuzov reaction of diethyl iodomethylphosphonate with diethylmethylphosphite. A more preferred route is the dimerization of the lithium anion of dialkyl methylphosphonates as reported by Savignac et al. The above (alkoxyphosphinyl)alkyl phosphonate then undergoes a nucleophilic addition with stabilized anions to afford Formula 1 or 2 compounds. Typically, (ethoxymethylphosphinyl)-l- ethenylphosphonic acid, diethylester is reacted in the presence of a carbanion of the heterocyclic ring structures of Formula 1 or 2. The carbanion is formed at -70°C to 80°C and the (alkoxyphosphinyl)alkyl phosphonate is added to the reaction mixture and maintained for about 30 minutes, then allowed to warm to ambient. The reaction mixture is quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride and extracted with chloroform. Standard work-up affords the product which can be purified by chromatography. The examples further demonstrate this procedure. Preferred compounds of Formula 3 are identified by letter and include: a) (2-((4-(2-fluoro-6-nitrophenoxy)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5- dimethyl-2,2' dioxide- 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorphinane)); b) (2-((4-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5- dimethyl-2,2' dioxide- 1 ,3,2-dioxaphosphorphinane)); c) (2-((4-(4-moφholinyl)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5-dimethyl-2,2' dioxide-l,3,2-dioxaphosphoφhinane)); d) (2-((4-(2-,4-dibromophenoxy)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5- dimethyl-2,2' dioxide- 1 ,3,2-dioxaphosphoφhinane)); e) (2-((4-(4-cyanophenoxy)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5-dimethyl-2,2' dioxide-l,3,2-dioxaphosphθφhinane)); f) (2-((4-2,4-dichIorophenoxy-6-methyI-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bisphosphonic acid tetraethyl ester, g) (2-((4-(4-piperidinyl)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5 ,5-dimethyl-2,2' dioxide-l,3,2-dioxaphosphoφhinane)); h) (2-((4-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5- dimethyl-2,2' dioxide- 1,3,2-dioxaphosphoφhinane)); i) (2-((4-(phenylthio)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5-dimethyl-2,2' dioxide- 1,3,2-dioxaphosphoφhinane)); j) (2-((4-(3-chlorophenoxy)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5-dimethyl- 2,2' dioxide- 1 ,3,2-dioxaphosphoφhinane)); k) (2-((4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bisphosphonic acid, tetraethyl ester; and 1) (2((4-(methyl)-6-methoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)amino)ethylidene)bis(2,2'-(5,5-dimethyl-2,2'- dioxide- 1 ,3 ,2-dioxaphosphoφhine)) . Typically, the Formula 3 compounds are prepared by selecting the appropriately substituted 2-amino pyrimidines synthesized by means familiar to those skilled in the art, and involve the reaction of 6-halo-2-amino pyrimidines with the desired alkoxide, phenoxide, thiqphenoxide, or amine in an inert solvent such as toluene, THF, DMSO, or DMF or the solvent can be the corresponding alcohol, phenol, or thiophenol. Temperatures can range between 0°C and reflux. The preferred temperature is room temperature. If the alcohol is low molecular weight, the preferred solvent is the corresponding alcohol or else is DMF. The products are isolated by dilution with water, and collection of the solid. This material can be recrystallized if needed. The bisphosphonates are synthesized through the reaction of the above 2-amino pyrimidines with vinylidene bisphosphonate esters, which have previously been described in published PCT Application WO 9012 017 and by Degenhardt, C.R.; Burdsall, D.C. J.Org.Chem., 51, 3488-3490 (1986). The reaction occurs in an inert solvent, such as THF, benzene, toluene, or xylene at elevated temperatures. It is preferred that the reaction be run in toluene at reflux. Experimental details are contained in the Examples. The synthesis of the corresponding acid is accomplished by a procedure which is well known to those skilled in the art. Typically, the tetraester is treated with trimethylsilyl bromide in an inert solvent such as chloroform or methylene chloride, followed by aqueous workup to isolate the acid. Compounds of Foraiula 3 and a compound of Foraiula 2 have been tested in a Delayed Type Hypersensitivity Granuloma Assay (DTH GRA) model for inflammation. This assay is described by Dunn, C. J. et al., "Development of a delayed-type hypersensitivity granuloma model in the mouse for the study of chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease," Agents and Actions, 27, 3/4 (1989) and "Murine Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity Granuloma," Int. J. Immunopharmc, 12, 8, 899-904 (1990). Briefly, mBSA-sensitized mice have a DTH granuloma (DTH GRA) lesion induced by subcutaneously implanting a mBSA-soaked filter which is excised after nine days. Compounds are administered to the mice to determine their effect on the lesions. The results are recorded as percent inhibition. The larger the inhibition, the more effective the compound. Inhibition of 10 to 20% is considered to indicate anti-granuloma activity. Greater than 30% inhibition is good activity. The compounds are scored as having anti-inflammatory activity at 10-20% inhibition and good activity at greater than 30% inhibition. The compound of Formula 2 tested was l-((ethoxy- methylphosphinyl))-4-(3-methyl-6-phenyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinone-2-yl)-butane phosphonic acid diethyl ester, Example 16 and the DTH GRA data obtained for this compound was 44.4%. The biological results for compounds of Formula 3 are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Compound was administered sc These compounds were also tested in an in vitro model which identifies calcium channel blocking activity. In this test, adherent human dermal fibroblasts (CRL 1445, ATCC, Bethesda, MD) were allowed to attach to glass cover slips placed in 6 well culture plates. Cultures were maintained in DMEM supplemented with antibiotics and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) until confluent. The fibroblasts were washed once with Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline to remove the culture medium and FBS. The calcium probe, INDO-1 AM (2 mM) in RPMI 1640 without phenol red and supplemented with IC 'A hepes and 2 mM glutamine was added to the cells for 1 hour at 37°C. The cells were washed twice with RPMI 1640 and remained in this medium until calcium measurements were obtained with the Meridian ACAS digital image microscope. The cover slip with the attached fibroblasts was placed in a chamber with 1 ml of RPMI on the microscope stage, and maintained at 37°C. The cells were exposed to a laser beam set at 310 nm and fluorescent emission was measured at 485 nm and 405 nm. Baseline resting calcium levels of the fibroblasts were measured for 30 seconds after which 40 mM KCl was added to the medium in the holder. Data was collected at 40 second intervals for a total of 300 to 400 seconds. Maximal calcium influx is usually reached within 40 seconds after the addition of KCl, and begins to slowly decrease to -50% of the maximal level. The intracellular calcium concentrations remain elevated for at least 400 second. In order to measure the inhibitory effect of it. test compounds on changes in intracellular calcium, the compound was added to the cells maintained in RPMI medium for a minimum of 20 minutes before the fibroblast membranes were depolarized with KCl as outlined above. The mean increase in intracellular calcium was then compared to control fibroblasts which had been pretreated for similar lengths of time with DMSO and exposed to KCl. A calcium standard curve was obtained on the day of the experiments in order to generate absolute intracellular calcium concentrations if needed. Two known calcium channel blockers, D600 and nifedipine were also tested to compare the relative efficacies of the "standard" compounds with the novel diphosphonates. For instance, D60O (available from the Sigma Co., St. Louis, MO) inhibited calcium influx into a cell by 83 to , . ι% at 10 "5 molar concentration. The biological results for calcium channel activity are shown in Table 2. The Control is a sub-structure of Example 9 (k) not having the bisphosphonate teralkyl ester portion. Therefore, the results show that the bisphosphonate teraalkyl ester is required for biological activity. Table 2 The subject invention provides a method for treating inflammation by administering to an animal or human patient in need of either treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula 1, 2 or 3. Routes of administration include oral, intramuscular, intravenous, transdermal, intra-articular, subcutaneous, or intraperitoneal. An effective amount is an amount whereby the symptoms such as pain and discomfort are relieved or reduced, and for inflammation or arthritis, where mobility of the affected area is increased. A typical dosage is about 0.001 mg to 1.0 gram with dose determined by the particular mode of administration, use and frequency of administration.

For oral administration, either solid or fluid unit dosage forms can be prepared. For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the compound can be mixed with conventional ingredients such as talc, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, magnesium aluminum silicate, calcium sulfate, starch, lactose, acacia, methylcellulose, and functionally similar materials as pharmaceutical diluents or carriers. Capsules are prepared by mixing the compound with an inert pharmaceutical diluent and filling the mixture into a hard gelatin capsule of appropriate size. Soft gelatin capsules are prepared by machine encapsulation of a slurry of the compound with an acceptable vegetable oil, light liquid petrolatum or other inert oil. Fluid unit dosage forms for oral administration such as syrups, elixirs, and suspensions can be prepared. The forms can be dissolved in an aqueous vehicle together with sugar, aromatic flavoring agents and preservatives to form a syrup. Suspensions can be prepared with an aqueous vehicle with the aid of a suspending agent such as acacia, tragacanth, methylcellulose and the like. For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms can be prepared utilizing the compound and a sterile vehicle. In preparing solutions, the compound can be dissolved in water for injection and filter sterilized before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing. Adjuvants such as a local anesthetic, preservative and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle. The composition can be frozen after filling into a vial and the water removed under vacuum. The dry lyophilized powder can then be sealed in the vial and reconstituted prior to use.
