Description: INHIBITORS OF PROTEIN TYROSINE PHOSPHATASE . The present invention comprises small molecular weight, non-peptidic inhibitors of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1 (PTPl) which are useful for the treatment and/ or prevention of Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The mechanism of insulin action depends critically upon the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in several proteins in the insulin signalling cascade. Enzymes that dephosphorylate these proteins, protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), are important negative regulators of insulin action. Therefore, the use of specific PTP inhibitors may therapeutically enhance insulin action. The insulin resistance that is central to noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) appears to involve a defect in an early process in insulin signal transduction rather than a structural defect in the insulin receptor itself. (J.M. Olefsky, W.T. Garvey, R.R. Henry, D. Brillon, S. Matthai and G.R. Freidenberg, G.R. (1988).) Cellular mechanisms of insulin resistance in non-insulin-dependent (Type II) diabetes. (Am. J. Med. 85: Suppl. 5A, 86-105.) A drug that improved insulin sensitivity would have several advantages over traditional therapy of NIDDM using sulfonylureas, which do not alleviate insulin resistance but instead compensate by increasing insulin secretion. The binding of insulin to the α-subunits of the insulin receptor permits the β- subunits to catalyze phosphorylation of target proteins on tyrosine residues. There are 22 tyrosine residues in each insulin receptor β-subunit itself and autophosphorylation of at least 6 of these tyrosines, in 3 distinct domains, is known to be involved in insulin action. (C.R. Kahn (1994) Insulin action, diabetogenes, and the cause of type II diabetes. Diabetes 43: 1066-1084.) Autophosphorylation of Tyr 960 j n ^ e juxtamembrane domain is important for receptor internalization and for the interaction of the receptor with downstream signalling molecules such as insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1).) (TJ. O'Neill, A. Craparo and T.A. Gustafson (1994) Characterization of an interaction between insulin receptor substrate 1 and the insulin receptor by using the two-hybrid system. Mol. Cell Biol. 14: 6433-6442.) Autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues 1146, 1150 and 1151 in the regulatory domain permits continued tyrosine kinase activity of β-subunits, even after insulin has dissociated from the α-subunits, and activates the kinase toward other protein substrates. (R. Herrera and O.M. Rosen (1986) Autophosphorylation of the insulin - ι - receptor in vitro: designation of phosphorylation sites and correlation with receptor kinase activation. J. Biol. Chem. 261: 11980-11985.) Deletion of autophosphorylation sites at Ty r 1316 ^d χy r 1322 j n tø e C-terminal domain attenuates the metabolic actions of insulin, but augments its mitogenic actions. (H. Maegawa, D. McClain, G. Freidenberg, J. Olefsky, M. Napier, T. Lipari, T. Dull, J. Lee, and A. Ullrich (1988) Properties of a human insulin receptor with a COOH-terminal truncation. H Truncated receptors have normal kinase activity but are defective in signalling metabolic effects. J. Biol. Chem. 263: 8912-8917.) (Y. Takata, N.J.G. Webster, and J.M. Olefsky (1991) Mutation of the two carboxyl- terminal tyrosines results in an insulin receptor with normal metabolic signalling but enhanced mitogenic signalling properties. J. Biol. Chem. 266: 9135-9139.) Dephosphorylation of these autophosphorylated sites occurs rapidly in vivo, suggesting that a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) is involved in terminating insulin action. A compound that inhibited this PTPase, therefore, should potentiate insulin action. Indeed, vanadate potentiates insulin action, at least in part, by such a mechanism (Y. Schechter (1990). Insulin-mimetic effects of vanadate. Possible implications for future treatment of diabetes. Diabetes 39: 1-5.) The PTPase(s) that act on the insulin receptor, however, has not been identified definitively. It has been estimated that the human genome encodes as many as 500 PTP enzymes (T. Hunter (1995) Protein kinases and phosphatases: The Yin and Yang of protein phosphorylation and signalling. Cell 80:225-236), but less than 100 have been identified and have been grouped into 4 sub-families (E.A. Fauman and M.A. Saper (1996) Structure and function of the protein tyrosine phosphatases. Trends Biochem. Sci. 21:413-417.) Members of the tyrosine-specific PTP sub-family are further divided into the receptor PTPases (such as CD45 and LAR) which typically have a large variable extracellular domain, a single transmembrane spanning region, and two intracellular phosphatase catalytic domains and the non-receptor PTPases. This latter group includes PTP that resemble PTPl. (D.A. Pot and J.E. Dixon (1992) A thousand and two protein tyrosine phosphatases. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1136: 35-43.) There is data to support the proposition that the insulin receptor PTPase may be PTPl -like. For instance, an insulin- dependent association of PTPl with insulin receptors has been described. (D. Bandyopadhyay, A. Kursari, K.A. Kenner, F. Liu, J.Chernoff, T.A. Gustafson, J. Kusari (1997) Protein-tyrosine phosphatase IB complexes with the insulin receptor in vivo and is tyrosine-phosphorylated in the presence of insulin. J.Biol.Chem. 272: 1639-1645; and L. Seely, et al. (1996) Protein tyrosine phosphatase IB interacts with the activated insulin receptor. Diabetes 45: 1379.) Furthermore, PTPl dephosphorylates purified insulin receptors sequentially in the order observed in vivo (i.e., Tyr 150 = χy r l 151 yr 146), (Q Ramachandran, R. Aebersold, N. Tonks and D.A. Pot (1992) Sequential dephosphorylation of a multiply phosphorylated insulin receptor peptide by protein tyrosine phosphtases. Biochemistry 31: 4232-4238) and insulin acutely increases PTPl mRNA in hepatoma cells. (N. Hashimoto and B.J. Goldstein (1992) Differential regulation of mRNAs encoding three protein-tyrosine phosphatases by insulin and activation of protein kinase C. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 188: 1305-1311.) Insulin resistance induced in Rat 1 fibroblasts by high glucose (27 mM) is preceded by an approximate doubling of cytosolic PTPl activity that is blocked by the insulin-sensitizer, pioglitazone. (H. Maegawa, R. Ide, M. Hasegawa, S. Ugi, K. Egawa, M. Iwanishi, R. Kikkawa, Y. Shigeta, and A. Kashiwagi (1995) Thiazolidinedione derivatives ameliorate high glucose-induced insulin resistance via the normalization of protein tyrosine phosphatase activities. J. Biol. Chem. 270: 7724-7730.) Thus, a specific inhibitor of PTPl could be used to potentiate insulin action. While there are no known small molecules that specifically inhibit PTPl, it was found that osmotic loading of hepatoma cells with neutralizing antibodies against PTP lb (the human homologue of rat PTPl) resulted in increased autophosphorylation of insulin receptors and phosphorylation of IRS- 1 in response to insulin. (F. Ahmad, P.-M. Li, J. Meyerovitch, and B.J. Goldstein (1995) Osmotic loading of neutralizing antibodies demonstrates a role for PTPase IB in negative regulation of the insulin signalling pathway. Diabetes 44: Suppl. 1 104A.) See also B.J. Goldstein (1993) Regulation of insulin receptor signaling by protein- tyrosine dephosphorylation. Receptor 3: 1-15.)

CHART A Commercially available tyrosine benzyl ester A-l is acylated with monomethyl succinate under standard amide coupling conditions employing l-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)- 3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) as the coupling reagent (Tet. Lett. 1993, 34:7685) to afford A-2. Alkylation of the phenol is effected with diethylchloromalonate in acetone with potassium carbonate as catalyst, conditions analogous to those previously described for alkylation of phenols (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1951, 73:872). Standard hydrogenolysis of the benzyl ester A-3 affords A-4, which is then acylated with various amines (R^NH2) under the influence of EDC. The target acids A-5 are obtained by saponification. CHART B Commercially available Cbz-tyrosine (B-l) is coupled with n-pentylamine under standard EDC conditions, affording amide B-2. Alkylation of the phenol as described in Chart A gives ether B-3, which is then hydrogenolytically deprotected to obtain amine B-4, isolated as the corresponding HCl salt. Acylation of the free amine with various carboxylic acids R 2 COOH is accomplished with EDC. Final saponification with dilute lithium hydroxide followed by acidification gives the sparingly soluble malonic acids B-5. CHART C Amine hydrochloride B-4 (from Chart B) is acylated with various isocyanates in the presence of triethylamine in methylene chloride to afford the corresponding urethanes. Saponification of the esters then provides the acids C-l. CHART D Amine B-4 (from Chart B) is converted to the corresponding isocyanate D-l by reaction with diphosgene and Proton Sponge at 0 C (J.

CHART E Commercially available Boc-(L)-tyrosine E-l is coupled with n-pentylamine, as described for Chart B, to give E-2. The Boc group is removed with HCl in acetic acid, and the resulting amine E-3 is coupled with a mono succinate ester as described for Chart A. The resulting phenol amides E-4 and E-5 are added directly to a dialkyl acetylenedi- carboxylate in the presence of triethylamine (Aust. J. Chem. 1995, 48:677). Fumarate ester E-6 is hydrogenated with 10% palladium on carbon to give the saturated triacid E-8. Alternatively, fumarate ester E-7 is saponified to give the unsaturated triacid E-9.

CHART G Previously described E-2 (from Chart E) is treated with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in the presence of pyridine to afford triflate G-l. Palladium-catalyzed cross- coupling of G-l with tributyl(vinyl)tin affords G-2. G-2 is then ozonized followed by reduction with dimethyl sulfide to give G-3. This aldehyde is then condensed with dibenzylmalonate in the presence of piperidine acetate to afford G-4. Deprotection of the Boc group with saturated HCl/HOAc affords G-5 which is subsequently reacted with succinic anhydride to afford G-6. Hydrogenation of G-6 with H2 and 10% Pd C gives final triacid G-7. CHART H Direct saponfication of dibenzylester G-6 (from Chart G) affords the unsaturated triacid H-l. CHART I Alkylation of phenol E-4 (from Chart E) is accomplished by a carbenoid insertion reaction with di-t-butyl diazomalonate (Synthesis 1974, 347) catalyzed by rhodium acetate (J. Med. Chem. 1995, 38:4270), affording malonate ether 1-1. Removal of the t-butyl esters is accomplished with trifluroacetic acid in methylene chloride, and the benzyl ester is removed by hydrogenolysis, affording the desired triacid 1-3. CHART J Amide E-2 (from Chart E) is alkylated on the phenolic hydroxyl with dibenzyl bromomalonate as described for Chart A (potassium carbonate/acetone) to give J-3.

Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl esters then affords the desired triacids J-6. CHART K Chart K describes an alternative synthesis of A-5 (from Chart A) (now K-6 in Chart K) wherein benzyl esters are used as the protecting group for the malonate carboxyls instead of ethyl esters. Tyrosine t-butyl ester K-l is acylated with monobenzyl succinate under the influence of EDC to afford amide K-2. Alkylation with dibenzyl bromomalonate under the conditions described in Chart A affords ether K-3. The t-butyl ester is removed with TFA in methylene chloride, giving carboxylic acid K-4, which is coupled with various amines using EDC as the coupling reagent. Final deprotection of K-5 is accomplished by hydrogenolysis to give K-6.

CHART Q Commercially available Q-l is N-protected as the Boc derivative by reaction with B0C2O, and the resulting compound is converted to amylamide Q-2 by coupling (EDC) with amylamine. Palladium catalyzed carbonylation with carbon monoxide and methanol affords methyl ester Q-3. Alkylation of the phenolic oxygen with methylbromoacetate yields ether Q-4. which is N-deblocked with trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride and then acylated with succinic anhydride, leading to amide Q-5. Saponification under standard conditions then produced the desired triacid Q-6. CHART R Q-4 is deblocked with HCl/dioxane before coupling with 3-phenylpropanoic acid in the presence of EDC and saponified to afford R-4. Alternatively, Q-4 may be deblocked as before, followed by coupling with Boc-L-Phe to afford R-1.

Where R^ is other than H, the compounds would not be expected to have intrinsic activity, but would be expected to possess activity in vivo following hydrolysis by nonspecific esterases to the corresponding carboxylic acids. The compounds of the present invention are useful for treating patients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and related diseases. For this indication, these compounds may be administered by oral, intranasal, transdermal, subcutaneous and parenteral (including intramuscular and intravenous) routes in doses of 0.1 mg to 1000 mg/kg of body weight per day. Those skilled in the art would know how to formulate the compounds of this invention into appropriate pharmaceutical dosage forms. Examples of the dosage forms include oral formulations, such as tablets or capsules, or parenteral formulations, such as sterile solutions. When the compounds in this invention are administered orally, an effective amount is from about 0.1 mg to 100 mg per kg of body weight per day. Either solid or fluid dosage forms can be prepared for oral administration. Solid compositions, such as compressed tablets, are prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with conventional ingredients such as talc, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, magnesium aluminum silicate, calcium sulfate, starch, lactose, acacia, methyl cellulose, or functionally similar pharmaceutical diluents and carriers. Capsules are prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with an inert pharmaceutical diluent and placing the mixture into an appropriately sized hard gelatin capsule. Soft gelatin capsules are prepared by machine encapsulation of a slurry of the compounds of this invention with an acceptable inert oil such as vegetable oil or light liquid petrolatum.

Parenteral solutions are prepared by dissolving the compounds of this invention in aqueous vehicle and filter sterilizing the solution before placing in a suitable sealable vial or ampule. Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same way except a sterile suspension vehicle is used and the compounds of this invention are sterilized with ethylene oxide or suitable gas before it is suspended in the vehicle. The exact route of administration, dose, or frequency of administration would be readily determined by those skilled in the art and is dependant on the age, weight, general physical condition, or other clinical symptoms specific to the patient to be treated. The utility of representative compounds of the present invention has been demonstrated in the biological assays described below: PTPl Assays: A construct, which consisted of a C-terminal truncation of rat PTPl (amino acid residues 1-322) (cloned from a rat brain library) with an N-terminal glutathione S-transferase (GST) tag and an adjacent thrombin cleavage site, was inserted into vector plasmid pGEX-2T and transformed into E.coli strain TG-1 under the control of a lac promoter ( K. L. Guan and J. E. Dixon (1991) Eukaryotic proteins expressed in Escherichia coii: an improved thrombin cleavage and purification procedure of fusion proteins with glutathione S-transferase. Analyt. Biochem. 192: 262-267). The GST-fusion protein was purified on a glutathione agarose affinity column, the GST tag was cleaved with thrombin, and the active enzyme was recovered for use in an assay to identify PTP inhibitors. The equivalent construct of human PTP1B (amino acid residues 1-321) (cloned from a human placental library), without the GST tag and thrombin cleavage site, was inserted into a pMB replicon and transformed into E. coii BL21(DE3), a strain containing a chromosomal copy of the gene for T7 RNA polymerase under control of a lacUV5 promoter. Expression of PTP1B was induced with isopropyl thiogalactose and the soluble protein was purified by ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction and gel exclusion chromatography for use in the assay to identify PTP inhibitors. PTPl activity is measured using either p-nitrophenol phosphate (pNPP) or a triphosphopeptide (that matches residues 1142 through 1153 of the β-subunit and the insulin receptor) as substrate in a 96-well microtiter plate format. An assay pH of 7.2 is used for standard assays (measured 405=9800 at pH 7.2). Human PTP1B, which is highly homologous to rat PTPl, was assayed exactly as described above for PTPl. The PTPl inhibitors described here also inhibit PTP1B with similar or identical potencies. Standard assays are conducted at room temperature in a total volume of 0.2 ml that contains Hepes buffer (50 mM, pH 7.2), NaCl (50 mM), EDTA (1 mM), DTT (1 mM), bovine serum albumin (1 mg/ml), pNPP (1 mM) and PTPl (35 ng/ml). Compounds (2 μl of 10 mM solutions) are pipetted into wells of microtiter plates followed by 198 μl of premixed reaction mix (with PTPl and pNPP added immediately before use). The rate of change in A405 is recorded for 60 min. Two wells on each plate contain DMSO controls and two wells contain sodium orthovanadate (1 mM) which inhibits PTPl -catalyzed hydrolysis of pNPP completely. Data are expressed as percent inhibition relative to the average of the DMSO controls measured on the same microtiter plate. When triphosphopeptidel 4 -1 53 i s usec ι as substrate, t he rate of release of inorganic phosphate is measured using a Malachite Green/phosphomolybdate reaction (A.A. Baykov, O.A. Evtushenko, and S.M. Avaeva (1988) A Malachite Green procedure for orthophosphate determination and its use in alkaline phosphatase-based enzyme immunoassay. Anal. Biochem. 171: 266-270.) in a microtiter plate format. Standard assays are conducted at room temperature in a total volume of 50 μl that contains Hepes buffer (50 mM, pH 7.2), NaCl (50 mM), EDTA (ImM), DTT (ImM), bovine serum albumin (lmg/ml), triphosphopeptidel 142-1153 (200 μM) and PTPl (87 ng/ml). Reactions are terminated with the addition of 0.15 ml of Malachite Green/ ammonium molybdate reagent [10ml Malachite Green (0.44 g in 6N H2SO4), 2.5 ml ammonium molybdate (7.5% w/v), 0.2 ml Tween 20 (11% w/v)] that is diluted with 8 parts of water immediately before use, and after 1 h absorbance at 650 nm is measured. The phosphate assay is calibrated using either KH2PO4 or pNPP (after ashing with Mg(NO3)2) which gives essentially identical standard curves. The phosphate assay is useful in the range of 1 to 10 nmol Pj. The % inhibition of pNPP-hydrolysis by compounds of the present invention are listed in Table 1 and 2 below.

Stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in CH 2 C1 2 (5 mL) and triethylamine (0.43 mL, 3.1 mmol), and N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-L-phenylalanine (0.28 g, 1.0 mmol) was added. After the mixture was cooled to 0°C, EDC (0.20 g, 1.0 mmol) and HOBT (0.14 g, 1.0 mmol) was added. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and 1 M HCl. The organic phase was washed with sat. NaHC0 3 , sat. NaCl and dried (MgS0 4 ) and concentrated to a glassy solid (0.54 g). The residue was purified by flash chromatography (40 g SiQ, 60% EtO Ac/heptane) to obtain 0.42 g (67%) of R-1 (R = PhCH 2 ) as a white powder.
