Description: TITLE OF THE INVENTION PYRIDINONE THROMBIN INHIBITORS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Thrombin is a serine protease present in blood plasma in the form of a precursor, prothrombin. Thrombin plays a central role in the mechanism of blood coagulation by converting the solution plasma protein, fibrinogen, into insoluble fibrin. Edwards et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc. (1992) vol. 114, pp. 1854-63, describes peptidyl a-ketobenzoxazoles which are reversible inhibitors of the serine proteases human leukocyte elastase and porcine pancreatic elastase. European Publication 363 284 describes analogs of peptidase substrates in which the nitrogen atom of the scissile amide group of the substrate peptide has been replaced by hydrogen or a substituted carbonyl moiety. Australian Publication 86245677 also describes peptidase inhibitors having an activated electrophilic ketone moiety such as fluoromethylene ketone or a-keto carboxyl derivatives. R. J. Brown et al., J. Med. Chem. Vol. 37, pages 1259-1261 (1994) describes orally active, non-peptidic inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase which contain trifluoromethylketone and pyridinone moieties. H. Mack et al., J. Enzyme Inhibition Vol. 9, pages 73-86 (1995) describes rigid amidino-phenylalanine thrombin inhibitors which contain a pyridinone moiety as a central core structure.

Thrombin inhibitors - therapeutic uses and methods of using Anticoagulant therapy is indicated for the treatment and prevention of a variety of thrombotic conditions, particularly coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. Those experienced in this field are readily aware of the circumstances requiring anticoagulant therapy. The term "patient" used herein is taken to mean mammals such as primates, including humans, sheep, horses, cattle, pigs, dogs, cats, rats, and mice. Thrombin inhibition is useful not only in the anticoagulant therapy of individuals having thrombotic conditions, but is useful whenever inhibition of blood coagulation is required such as to prevent coagulation of stored whole blood and to prevent coagulation in other biological samples for testing or storage. Thus, the thrombin inhibitors can be added to or contacted with any medium containing or suspected of containing thrombin and in which it is desired that blood coagulation be inhibited, e.g., when contacting the mammal's blood with material selected from the group consisting of vascular grafts, stents, orthopedic prosthesis, cardiac prosthesis, and extracoφoreal circulation systems The thrombin inhibitors of the invention can be administered in such oral forms as tablets, capsules (each of which includes sustained release or timed release formulations), pills, powders, granules, elixers, tinctures, suspensions, syrups, and emulsions. Likewise, they may be administered in intravenous (bolus or infusion), intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, or intramuscular form, all using forms well known to those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical arts. An effective but non-toxic amount of the compound desired can be employed as an anti-aggregation agent. For treating ocular build up of fibrin, the compounds may be administered intraocularly or topically as well as orally or parenterally. The thrombin inhibitors can be administered in the form of a depot injection or implant preparation which may be formulated in such a manner as to permit a sustained release of the active ingredient. The active ingredient can be compressed into pellets or small cylinders and implanted subcutaneously or intramuscularly as depot injections or implants. Implants may employ inert materials such as biodegradable polymers or synthetic silicones, for example, Silastic, silicone rubber or other polymers manufactured by the Dow-Corning Coφoration. The thrombin inhibitors can also be administered in the form of Hposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large uni lamellar vesicles and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines. The thrombin inhibitors may also be delivered by the use of monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled. The thrombin inhibitors may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinlypyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxy-propyl- methacrylamide-phenol, polyhydroxyethyl-aspartamide-phenol, or polyethyleneoxide-polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the thrombin inhibitors may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polyglycohc acid, copolymers of polylactic and polyglycohc acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates and cross linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels. The dosage regimen utilizing the thrombin inhibitors is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including type, species, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition to be treated; the route of administration; the renal and hepatic function of the patient; and the particular compound or salt thereof employed. An ordinarily skilled physician or veterinarian can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug required to prevent, counter, or arrest the progress of the condition. Oral dosages of the thrombin inhibitors, when used for the indicated effects, will range between about 0.1 mg per kg of body weight per day (mg/kg/day) to about 100 mg/kg/day and preferably 1.0-100 mg/kg/day and most preferably 1 -20 mg/kg/day. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will range from about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion. Advantageously, the thrombin inhibitors may be administered in divided doses of two, three, or four times daily. Furthermore, they can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in that art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, or course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regime. The thrombin inhibitors are typically administered as active ingredients in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients or carriers (collectively referred to herein as "carrier" materials) suitably selected with respect to the intended form of administration, that is, oral tablets, capsules, elixers, syrups and the like, and consistent with convention pharmaceutical practices. For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral, non- toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable, inert carrier such as lactose, starch, sucrose, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, mannitol, sorbitol and the like; for oral administration in liquid form, the oral drug components can be combined with any oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water and the like. Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, distintegrating agents and coloring agents can also be incoφorated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn- sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like. The thrombin inhibitors can also be co-administered with suitable anti -coagulation agents or thrombolytic agents such as plasminogen activators or streptokinase to achieve synergistic effects in the treatment of various ascular pathologies. For example, thrombin inhibitors enhance the efficiency of tissue plasminogen activator- mediated thrombolytic reperfusion. Thrombin inhibitors may be administered first following thrombus formation, and tissue plasminogen activator or other plasminogen activator is administered thereafter. They may also be combined with heparin, aspirin, or warfarin. Methods of making The following synthetic Methods A to E can be used to prepare the compounds of the present invention. Two methods for preparing compounds which contain radical IV as an end group are illustrated as Methods A and B and are exemplified by Examples I and XXV. METHOD A As exemplified by Example 1 , methyl-2-hydroxy-6- methylpyridinone-3 -carboxylate is alkylated with t-butylbromoacetate using a base such as cesium carbonate in DMF, or sodium hydride in THF. The t-butyl group is removed using a strong acid such as HCl gas and the amide of 4-aminomethyl- 1 -t-butoxycarbonylpiperidine is made using a standard coupling procedure. The methyl ester is hydrolyzed with lithium hydroxide and then a Curtius rearrangement (with acyl azide formation using DPPA and triethylamine as the base) gives the isocyanate which is trapped with benzyl alcohol in the presence of triethylamine giving the Cbz protected aminopyridinone. The Cbz group is removed by hydrogenolysis using Pearlman's catalyst under standard conditions. Bis-benzylsulfonylation can be accomplished using benzylsulfonyl chloride and triethylamine in methylene chloride. The BOC group is removed using a strong acid such as HCl gas and amidinopiperidine formation can be performed using an amidine transfer reagent such as aminoiminomethanesulfonic acid with triethylamine as a base in DMF. One of the sulfonyl groups is then removed using aqueous lithium hydroxide. Amide couplings, e.g., Step D in Method A, to form the compounds of this invention can be performed by the carbodiimide method with reagents such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, or l-ethyl-3-(3- dimethyl-aminopropyl) carbodiimide. Other methods of forming the amide or peptide bond include, but are not limited to the synthetic routes via an acid chloride, azide, mixed anhydride or activated ester. Typically, solution phase amide couplings are performed, but solid-phase synthesis by classical Merrifield techniques may be employed instead. The addition and removal of one or more protecting groups is also typical practice. Modifications of Methods A to E will allow different W, A and R3 groups contemplated by the scope of the broad claim below to be present by the use of an appropriate reagent or appropriately substituted starting material in the indicated synthetic step. For example, in the following Method A, the starting pyridine in Step A, can have as the 6- substituent, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, and the like, to achieve the different operable values of R3. Likewise, different W groups can be present by the use of an appropriate alkylating, carbonylating, sulfonylating, urealating agent, and the like, in Step H. Use of, for example, an alkyl halide, alkoxycarbonyl halide, acyl halide, alkylsulfonyl halide, or alkyl isocyanate will yield the corresponding values of W where W is Rl, R*OCO, R^CO, R*S02, or (Rl)m(CH2)nNCO. Likewise, the different Radicals A can be present by the appropriate choice of the radical precursor in Step D. Obvious variations and modifications of the Methods to produce similar and obvious variants thereof, will be apparent to one skilled in the art.

This is alkylated with a glycine equivalent in Step B such as t- butylbromoacetate using a base such as cesium carbonate or sodium hydride. The t-butyl group is removed using a strong acid such as HCl gas in Step C and the amide of 4-aminomethyl-l-t- butoxycarbonylpiperidine is made using a standard coupling procedure in Step D. The CBZ group is removed in Step E via hydrogenation over a catalyst. The resulting amine is then reacted with the appropriate reagent, in this case benzylsulfonyl chloride, in Step F with pyridine as an acid scavenger and the BOC group is then removed in Step G using a strong acid such as HCl gas. Amidinopiperidine formation can be performed using an amidine transfer reagent such as aminoiminomethanesulfonic acid with triethylamine as a base in DMF. Alternatively the product of step G can be reacted with cyanogen bromide to give the cyanamide in Step H which can be further reacted with hydroxylamine to give the hydroxyguanidine. Modifications of Method B will allow different W, A and R3 groups contemplated by the scope of the broad claim below to be present by the use of an appropriate reagent or appropriately substituted starting material in the indicated synthetic step. For example, in the following Method B, the starting pyridine in Step A, can have as the 6- substituent, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, and the like, to achieve the different operable values of R3. Likewise, different W groups can be present by the use of an appropriate alkylating, carbonylating, sulfonylating, urealating agent, and the like, in Step F. Use of, for example, an alkyl halide, alkoxycarbonyl halide, acyl halide, alkylsulfonyl halide, or alkyl isocyanate will yield the corresponding values of W where W is R 1 , R 1 OCO, R 1 CO, R 1 Sθ2, or (Rl)m(CH2)nNCO. Likewise, the different Radicals A can be present by the appropriate choice of the radical precursor in Step D.

As exemplified by Example II , 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-6-methylpyridine is alkylated with ethylbromoacetate. The methyl ester is hydrolyzed with lithium hydroxide and the amide of trans -4-t- butoxycarbonylaminocyclohexylmethylamine is made using a standard coupling procedure. The nitro group is reduced by hydrogenation using a palladium catalyst under standard conditions. The amino group is alkylated by reduction with sodium triacetoxyborohydride of the imine formed from phenylacetaldehyde. The BOC group is removed using a strong acid such as HCl gas. Modifications of Method C will allow different W, A and R3 groups contemplated by the scope of the broad claim below to be present by the use of an appropriate reagent or appropriately substituted starting material in the indicated synthetic step. For example, in the following Method C, the starting pyridine in Step A, can have as the 6- substituent, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, and the like, to achieve the different operable values of R3. Likewise, different W groups can be present by the use of an appropriate alkylating, carbonylating, sulfonylating, urealyting agent, and the like, in Step E.

The resulting amine is then reacted with the appropriate reagent, in this case benzylsulfonyl chloride, in Step B with pyridine as an acid scavenger and the t-butyl ester is then removed under acidic conditions in Step C. The acid is then coupled in Step D with an amine, such as 2-t-butoxycarbonylamino-6-methyl-5- aminomethyl pyridine and the BOC group is removed in Step E with a strong acid.

The resulting pyridinone is allylated using π-allyl palladium in Step B and the nitro- group is reduced in Step C. The amine is then reacted with the appropriate reagent, in this case benzylsulfonyl chloride, in Step D with pyridine as an acid scavenger. The olefin is oxidatively cleaved to give the aldehyde which is further oxidised to the acid in Step E.

EXAMPLE LI IN VITRO ASSAY FOR DETERMINING PROTEINASE INHIBITION Assays of human α-thrombin and human trypsin were performed by the methods substantially as described in Thrombosis Research. Issue No. 70, page 173 (1993) by S.D. Lewis et al. The assays were carried out at 25 °C in 0.05 M TRIS buffer pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.1% PEG. Trypsin assays also contained 1 mM CaCl2- In assays wherein rates of hydrolysis of a p-nitroanilide (pna) substrate were determined, a Thermomax 96-well plate reader was used was used to measure (at 405 nm) the time dependent appearance of/?- nitroaniline. sar-PR-pna was used to assay human a-thrombin (Km=125 μM) and bovine trypsin (Km=125 μM). p-Nitroanilide substrate concentration was determined from measurements of absorbance at 342 nm using an extinction coefficient of 8270 cm-lM-!. In certain studies with potent inhibitors (Ki < 10 nM) where the degree of inhibition of thrombin was high, a more sensitive activity assay was employed. In this assay the rate of thrombin catalyzed hydrolysis of the fluorogenic substrate Z-GPR-afc (K =27 μM) was determined from the increase in fluorescence at 500 nm (excitation at 400 nm) associated with production of 7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin. Concentrations of stock solutions of Z-GPR-afc were determined from measurements of absorbance at 380 nm of the 7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin produced upon complete hydrolysis of an aliquot of the stock solution by thrombin. Activity assays were performed by diluting a stock solution of substrate at least tenfold to a final concentration < 0.1 Km into a solution containing enzyme or enzyme equilibrated with inhibitor. Times required to achieve equilibration between enzyme and inhibitor were determined in control experiments. Initial velocities of product formation in the absence (Vo) or presence of inhibitor (Vi) were measured. Assuming competitive inhibition, and that unity is negligible compared Km/[S], [I]/e, and [I]/e (where [S], [I], and e respectively represent the total concentrations, of substrate, inhibitor and enzyme), the equilibrium constant (Ki) for dissociation of the inhibitor from the enzyme can be obtained from the dependence of V 0 /Vi on [I] shown in equation 1. Vo/Vi = 1 + [I]/Ki (1) The activities shown by this assay indicate that the compounds of the invention are therapeutically useful for treating various conditions in patients suffering from unstable angina, refractory angina, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attacks, atrial fibrillation, thrombotic stroke, embolic stroke, deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and reocclusion or restenosis of recanalized vessels. Compounds of Examples 1-4 inhibit human thrombin with Ki values less than 100 nM and inhibit human trypsin with Ki values greater than 500 nM.

In the assay used to determine in vivo activity of the thrombin inhibitors or the invention, Male Sprague-Dawley rats (body weights 200-350 grams) were anesthetized with dial-urethane solution (0.1 ml/100 gm body weight i.p.), and a lateral tail vein was cannulated with a 23 gauge needle connected to a 12 inch length of PE50 tubing. The tubing was attached to a 3-way valve by a tubing adapter. Saline (control) or test compound, as appropriate, was administered via the tail vein catheter. A tracheostomy was performed with a 0.75 inch length of PE205 tubing. The right carotid artery was exposed and a 1.3 mm diameter Doppler flow probe was placed on the vessel. Body temperature was maintained at 37°C using a heat lamp. Rats (8-10/group) were randomized to continuous intravenous infusions of saline or test compound administered via the tail vein at a rate of 0.028 ml/min. Treatment infusions were initiated 120 min before the placement of a 3 mm square piece of Whatman No. 1 filter paper saturated with 35% FeCl3 onto the exposed carotid artery distal to the flow probe. Treatment infusions were continued for an additional 60 minutes after the application of FeCl3 (total infusion duration 180 minutes) if thrombotic occlusions did not occur, or were terminated 30 minutes after thrombotic occlusion of the vessel. Time to occlusion was defined as the time from application of FeCl3 to thrombotic occlusion of the vessel. At the termination of the study (60 minutes after application of FeCl3 in animals which did not occlude, or at 30 minutes after thrombotic occlusion), 3 ml blood samples were drawn by cardiac puncture into 0.3 ml of 3.8% sodium citrate. The results show that the compounds of the invention are useful in preventing thrombotic occlusions.
