Description: HETEROARYL-HEXANOIC ACID AMIDE DERIVATIVES, THEIR PREPARATION AND THEIR USE AS SELECTIVE INHIBITORS OF MIP-1. ALPHA. BINDING TO ITS CCR1 RECEPTOR Background of the Invention The present invention relates to novel hexanoic acid derivatives, methods of use and pharmaceutical compositions containing them The compounds of the invention are potent and selective inhibitors of MIP-1α 10 binding to its receptor CCR1 found on inflammatory and immunomodulatory cells (preferably leukocytes and lymphocytes) The CCR1 receptor is also sometimes referred to as the CC- CKR1 receptor These compounds also inhibit MIP- 1α (and the related chemokine shown to interact with CCR1 (g_g., RANTES and MCP-3)) induced chemotaxis of THP-1 cells and human leukocytes and are potentially useful for the treatment or prevention of autoimmune 15 diseases (such as rheumatoid arthntis, type I diabetes (recent onset), inflammatory bowel disease, optic neuritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, polymyalgia rheumatica, uveitis, and vascu tis), acute and chronic inflammatory conditions (such as osteoarthπtis, adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Respiratory Distress Syndrome of infancy, ischemia reperfusion injury, and glomerulonephπtis), allergic conditions (such as asthma and atopic 20 dermatitis), infection associated with inflammation (such as viral inflammation (including influenza and hepatitis) and Guilhan-Barre), transplantation tissue rejection (chronic and acute), organ rejection (chronic and acute), atherosclerosis, restenosis, HIV infectivity (co- receptor usage), and granulomatous diseases (including sarcoidosis, leprosy and tuberculosis) 25 MlP- .α and RANTES are soluble chemotactic peptides (chemokines) which are produced by inflammatory cells, in particular CD8+ lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and macrophages, J Biol Chem.. 270 (30) 29671-29675 (1995) These chemokines act by inducing the migration and activation of key inflammatory and immunomodulatory cells Elevated levels of chemokines have been found in the synovial 30 fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients, chronic and rejecting tissue transplant patients and in the nasal secretions of allergic rhinitis patients following allergen exposure (Teran , et al , J_ Immunol . 1806-1812 (1996), and Kuna et al . J Allergy Clin Immunol 321 (1994)) Antibodies which interfere with the chemokine/receptor interaction by neutralizing MIP1α or gene disruption have provided direct evidence for the role of MIP-1α and RANTES in 35 disease by limiting the recruitment of monocytes and CD8+ lymphocytes (Smith et al , _L Immunol. 153. 4704 (1994) and Cook eLϋl , Science. 269. 1583 (1995)) Together this data demonstrates that CCR1 antagonists would be an effective at treatment of several immune based diseases The compounds described within are potent and selective antagonists of CCR1 No other small molecule antagonists of the MIP-1α /RANTES interaction with CCR1 40 are currently known United States Patent 4,923,864 issued May 8, 1990, refers to certain heterocyclic hexanamides that are useful for treating hypertension PCT publication WO 89/01488, published February 23, 1989, refers to renin inhibiting peptides which possess nonpeptide linkages PCT publication WO 93/ 025057, published February 4, 1993, refers to dipeptide analogs which are claimed to inhibit retroviral proteases PCT publication WO 93/17003, published September 2, 1993, refers to other dipeptide analogs which are claimed to inhibit retroviral proteases PCT publication WO 92/17490, published October 15, 1992, refers to peptides containing at least one O-phosphate monoester or diester The compounds are claimed to possess activity for inhibiting retroviruses European Patent Publication 708,085, published April 24, 1996, refers to antiviral ethers of aspartate protease inhibitors Summary of the Invention The present invention relates to compounds of the formula wherein R 1 is (C 2 -C 9 )heteroaryl optionally substituted with one or more substituents (preferably one to three substituents) independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halo, CN, (C r C 6 )alkyl optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms (preferably one to three fluonne atoms), hydroxy, hydroxy-(C r C 6 )alkyl, (C 1 -C 6 )alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more fluorine atoms (preferably one to three fluonne atoms), (C 1 -C 6 )alkoxy(C 1 -C 6 )alkyl, HO-(C=0)-, (C r C 6 )alkyl-0-(C=0)-.

medium supplemented with 1 mg/ml of bovine serum albumin Briefly, MIP-1α (Peprotech, Ine , P O Box 275, Rocky Hill NJ) or other test agonists, were placed into the lower chambers of the Boyden chamber A polycarbonate filter was then applied and the upper chamber fastened The amount of agonist chosen is that determined to give the maximal amount of chemotaxis in this system (e g , 1 nM for MIP-1 should be adequate) THP-1 cells (ATCC TIB-202), primary human monocytes, or primary lymphocytes, isolated by standard techniques can then be added to the upper chambers in triplicate together with various concentrations of the test compound Compound dilutions can be prepared using standard serological techniques and are mixed with cells prior to adding to the chamber After a suitable incubation period at 37 degrees centigrade (e g 3 5 hours for THP-1 cells, 90 minutes for primary monocytes), the chamber is removed, the cells in the upper chamber aspirated, the upper part of the filter wiped and the number of cells migrating can be determined according to the following method For THP-1 cells, the chamber (a 96 well variety manufactured by Neuroprobe) can be centrifuged to push cells off the lower chamber and the number of cells can be quantitated against a standard curve by a color change of the dye fluorocein diacetate For primary human monocytes, or lymphocytes, the filter can be stained with Dif Quik® dye (American Scientific Products) and the number of cells migrating can be determined microscopically The number of cells migrating in the presence of the compound are divided by the number of cells migrating in control wells (without the compound) The quotant is the % inhibition for the compound which can then be plotted using standard graphics techniques against the concentration of compound used The 50% inhibition point is then determined using a line fit analysis for all concentrations tested The line fit for all data points must have an coefficient of
