Description: CELL ADHESION-INHIBITING ANTIINFLAMMATORY AND IMMUNE-SUPPRESSIVE COMPOUNDS This application is a continuation-in-part of Application Serial Number 60/114,097, filed December 29, 1998. Technical Field The present invention relates to compounds that are useful for treating inflammatory and immune diseases, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, and to methods of inhibiting inflammation or suppressing immune response in a mammal. Background Inflammation results from a cascade of events that includes vasodilation accompanied by increased vascular permeability and exudation of fluid and plasma proteins. This disruption of vascular integrity precedes or coincides with an infiltration of inflammatory cells. Inflammatory mediators generated at the site of the initial lesion serve to recruit inflammatory cells to the site of injury. These mediators (chemokines such as IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1, and RANTES, complement fragments and lipid mediators) have chemotactic activity for leukocytes and attract the inflammatory cells to the inflamed lesion. These chemotactic mediators which cause circulating leukocytes to localize at the site of inflammation require the cells to cross the vascular endothelium at a precise location. This leukocyte recruitment is accomplished by a process called cell adhesion. Cell adhesion occurs through a coordinately regulated series of steps that allow the leukocytes to first adhere to a specific region of the vascular endothelium and then cross the endothelial barrier to migrate to the inflamed tissue (Springer, T.A., 1994, Traffic Signals for Lymphocyte Recirculation and Leukocyte Emigration: The Multistep Paradigm, Cell 76: 301-314; Lawrence, M. B., and Springer, T. A., 1991, Leukocytes' Roll on a Selectin at Physiologic Flow Rates: Distinction from and Prerequisite for Adhesion Through Integrins, Cell.65: 859-873: von Adrian, U., Chambers, J. D., McEnvoy. L.M.. Bargatze, R.F., Arfos, K.E. and Butcher. E.C., 1991, Two-Step Model of Leukocyte-Endothelial Cell Interactions in Inflammation. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88: 7538-7542; and Ley, K., Gaehtgens. P., Fennie, C, Singer, M.S., Lasky, L.H. and Rosen, S.D.,1991, Lectin-Like Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 Mediates Rolling in Mesenteric Venules in vivo, Blood 77: 2553-2555). These steps are mediated by families of adhesion molecules such as integrins, Ig supergene family members, and selectins which are expressed on the surface of the circulating leukocytes and on the vascular endothelial cells. The first step consists of leukocytes rolling along the vascular endothelial cell lining in the region of inflammation. The rolling step is mediated by an interaction between a leukocyte surface oligosaccharide, such as Sialylated Lewis-X antigen (SLe x ), and a selectin molecule expressed on the surface of the endothelial cell in the region of inflammation. The selectin molecule is not normally expressed on the surface of endothelial cells but rather is induced by the action of inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α and interleukin- 1. Rolling decreases the velocity of the circulating leukocyte in the region of inflammation and allows the cells to more firmly adhere to the endothelial cell. The firm adhesion is accomplished by the interaction of integrin molecules that are present on the surface of the rolling leukocytes and their counter-receptors (the Ig superfamily molecules) on the surface of the endothelial cell. The Ig superfamily molecules or CAMs (Cell Adhesion Molecules) are either not expressed or are expressed at low levels on normal vascular endothelial cells. The CAM's, like the selectins, are induced by the action of inflammatory mediators like TNF-alpha and IL-1. The final event in the adhesion process is the extravasation of leukocytes through the endothelial cell barrier and their migration along a chemotactic gradient to the site of inflammation. This transmigration is mediated by the conversion of the leukocyte integrin from a low avidity state to a high avidity state. The adhesion process relies on the induced expression of selectins and CAM's on the surface of vascular endothelial cells to mediate the rolling and firm adhesion of leukocytes to the vascular endothelium. The interaction of the intercellular adhesion molecule ICAM-1 (cd54) on endothelial cells with the integrin LFA-1 on leukocytes plays an important role in endothelial-leukocyte contact. Leukocytes bearing high-affinity LFA-1 adhere to endothelial cells through interaction with ICAM-1. initiating the process of extravasation from the vasculature into the surrounding tissues. Thus, an agent which blocks the ICAM-1 /LFA-1 interaction suppresses these early steps in the inflammatory response. Consistent with this background, ICAM-1 knockout mice have numerous abnormalities in their inflammatory responses. The present invention discloses compounds which bind to the interaction- domain (I-domain) of LFA-1, thus interrupting endothelial cell-leukocyte adhesion by blocking the interaction of LFA-1 with ICAM-1, ICAM-3, and other adhesion molecules. These compounds are useful for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases in which leukocyte trafficking plays a role, notably acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, tumor metastasis, allograft rejection, and reperfusion injury. The compounds of this invention are diaryl sulfides, which are substituted with a cinnamide moiety. The cinnamide functionality may be placed either ortho- or para- to the linking sulfur atom, although para-substitution is preferable. Appropriate substitution of both aromatic rings is tolerated, and can be used to modulate a variety of biochemical, physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. In particular the amide moiety is readily modified; a variety of secondary and tertiary amides are active, and alternatively a heterocyclic ring may be attached at this position. Modifications of this amide functionality are particularly useful in modulating physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods of Treatment The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise compounds of the present invention formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions may be specially formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection, or for rectal administration. The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, or as an oral or nasal spray. The term "parenteral" administration as used herein refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal. subcutaneous and intraarticular injection and infusion. Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically-acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservative, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like, Prolonged absoφtion of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absoφtion such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin. In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of the drug, it is desirable to slow the absoφtion of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amoφhous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absoφtion of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absoφtion of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues. The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incoφorating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium just prior to use. Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or (a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, (b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and acacia, (c) humectants such as glycerol, (d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, (e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, (f) absoφtion accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, (g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate. (h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and (I) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically- acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar- agar, and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof. Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non- irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound. Compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi- lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non- toxic, physiologically-acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used.

Dosage forms for topical administration of a compound of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments and inhalants. The active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required. Opthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Actual dosage levels of active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active compound(s) that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, compositions, and mode of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the condition being treated, and the condition and prior medical history of the patient being treated. However, it is within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound at levels lower than required for to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. Generally dosage levels of about 0J to about 50 mg, more preferably of about 5 to about 20 mg of active compound per kilogram of body weight per day are administered orally or intravenously to a mammalian patient. If desired, the effective daily dose may be divided into multiple doses for puφoses of administration, e.g. two to four separate doses per day. Preparation of Compounds of the Invention The compounds and processes of the present invention may be better understood in connection with the following synthetic Schemes which illustrate the methods by which the compounds of the invention can be prepared. Scheme 1 1. activation 2 . R, 2 NH Scheme 1 describes the synthesis of a typical cinnamide-substituted diaryl sulfide 4 through an aldehyde intermediate 2. Aldehyde 2 is prepared by reaction of a thiophenol (for example 2,4-dichlorothiophenol, 2-bromothiophenol. or the like) with halo-substituted benzaldehyde derivative 1 (e.g. 2-chlorobenzaldehyde, 3-chloro,4- fluorobenzaldehyde, or the like) in the presence of base (e.g. sodium carbonate, triethylamine, or the like) and a polar solvent (e.g. dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, or the like) . The aldehyde group is homologated to the corresponding cinnamic acid 3, using an acetate equivalent (for example, malonic acid, triethoxyphosphonoacetate, or the like) in the presence of an appropriate base and solvent. In some cases, it may be necessary to hydrolyze an intermediate ester (for example using sodium hydroxide in alcohol). The acid group is activated (for example using thionyl chloride, or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N- hydroxysuccinimide, or the like) and reacted with a primary or secondary amine (for example, 6-aminohexanol, pyrrolidone-3-propylamine, or the like) to provide the desired analog 4. In one variant, a halo-acetophenone can replace benzaldehyde 2; the resultant cinnamides 4 are substituted with a methyl group at the 3-position. Scheme 2 ArSH base.solvent Alternatively, the order of these coupling steps may be reversed (Scheme 2). A substituted halocinnamic acid 5 (e.g. 3-chloro-2-nitrocinnamic acid or the like) may be coupled with a primary or secondary amine (e.g. N-acetylpiperazine or the like) as described above to give the corresponding amide 6. The halo-group can then be displaced with a substituted thiophenol in the presence of base to provide the product 7. Scheme 3 activation R D κlw of alcohol ,κ 2 H A number of the compounds described herein may be prepared from intermediate benzylic alcohols like 8 (Scheme 3) Activation of the alcohol moiety (for example, using phosphorus tribromide or methanesulfonyl chloride and lithium halide in dimethylformamide) and displacement with a primary or secondary amine (e.g. moφholine. N-formylpiperazine or the like) provides analogs with structures related to 9. Alternatively the alcohol may be oxidized (for example using TPAP or PCC or the like) to give aldehyde 10. Scheme 4 Cinnamides like 13 may be prepared from halo-substituted derivatives 11 by palladium-mediated coupling [e.g. using tetrakis (o-tolyl phosphine) palladium (0), Pd 2 (dba) 3 , or the like] with acrylamide derivatives 12 (Scheme 4). In similar manner, anilino-cinnamides like 16 can be prepared by palladium-mediated coupling of amines 15 with halo-cinnamides 14. Scheme 5 In some cases, functional groups on the aromatic rings can be modified to produce new analogs (Scheme 5). For example, a nitro group in compounds like 17 may be reduced (for example, with tin(II) chloride, or by catalytic hydrogenation. or the like) to the corresponding amine 18. This amine may then itself be converted to a halogen, for example by diazotization using nitrous acid or t-butyl nitrite in the presence of a metal halide salt like cupric bromide, providing analog 19. Scheme 6 It is also possible to assemble cinnamide-substituted diaryl sulfides in a "reverse" sense (Scheme 6). Thus, for example, compound 20, prepared as described in Scheme 1 , may be deprotected by treatment with base (e.g. potassium t-butoxide or the like) to provide thiolate anion 21, which may be reacted with an activated haloarene (e.g. 2J-dichlorobenzaldehyde, 3-chloro,4-fluorobenzaldehyde or the like) to provide the corresponding product 22. Alternatively, this same thiolate anion may be coupled with unactivated aryl halides (e.g. aryl bromide or Aryl iodides) using a metal-catalyzed Ullman coupling procedure (for example, using a palladium or nickel catalyst) to give product 23. A further method for producing diarylsulfide cinnamides is shown in Scheme 7, wherein the diaryl sulfide is formed through coupling of a suitably protected aryl thiol 28 to an activated cinnamate ester 27. Substituted phenol 24 may be brominated to give bromophenol 25. Heck-type coupling of bromide 25 with an appropriate olefmic substrate, for example methyl acrylate, is effected with palladium catalysis, leading to the cinnamate ester 26. The phenol is then activated towards further reaction, for example by conversion to the corresponding triflate 27 under standard conditions. The required protected thiol 28 may be prepared by the method of XXX (Tetrahedron Lett. 1994, 35. 3221-3224), by coupling an aryl halide or triflate with triisopropylsilyl thiol under palladium catalysis. The two partners 27 and 28 are then reacted in the presence of a fluoride source, for example cesium fluoride, to provide the diarylsulfide cinnamate 29. Hydrolysis is accomplished by basic media, such as lithium or sodium hydroxide in water-THF. and the resulting acid 30 is coupled to amines under standard amide-bond forming conditions (for example, EDC/HOBt) to produce the amides 31. Scheme 7 ArBr, Arl or ArOTf 28 as in Scheme 1 A method for preparing cinnamides bearing two arylthio groups is outlined in Scheme 8. Commercially available difluoro cinnamic acid 32 was coupled with an amine, using standard conditions, and this derived amide 33 was reacted with excess aryl thiol to provide the bis-sulfide 34. Scheme 8 33 34 Compounds which contain trifluoromethyl groups on the cinnamide-portion of inhibitors were made by the method shown in Scheme 9. According to the method of XXX (Ref), Diels- Alder reaction between 1 J J ,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butyne and 2- methylfuran led to bicyclic ether 35, which was rearranged with Lewis acid (for example, boron trifluoride etherate) to the phenol 36. The methyl group is then converted to the corresponding aldehyde 37 by bromination followed by reaction with dimethylsulfoxide. Using the analogous procedures described for Scheme 1 above, the phenol was activated and condensed with thiols under basic conditions to afford diarylsulfide aldehydes 38, and further converted to cinnamides 39 by the previously described procedures. Scheme 9 37 38 as in Scheme 1 39 Cinnamides bearing more complex substituted piperidine amides can be produced by the methods outlined in Scheme 10 and 1 1. Cinnamic acids 40 are coupled to spiro-hydantoin piperidine 41, and the derived amide 42 is first reacted with an activating reagent (for example di-tert-butyl dicarbonate), and then hydrolyzed to the amino acid 43. The derived amino group may then be reacted further, for example with acid anhydrides or acid chlorides, to produce amides 44. Scheme 10 Further derivatives of piperidine amides can be obtained by coupling of piperidinone 45 with cinnamic acids 40, as shown in Scheme 11. Standard coupling conditions lead to amide 46, which is first reduced to the corresponding alcohol, then hydrolyzed to afford hydroxy acid 47. Scheme 1 1 47 Also included in this invention are compounds derived from coupling of amines, or amino acid derivatives (such as a-amino esters) to the carboxylic acid group of cinnamides 48, using standard coupling and hydrolysis methods, as outlined in Scheme 12. Thus, amides 49 are produced directly from amine coupling reactions. Amino acid esters are coupled to 48, and the derived esters are hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids 50. Scheme 12 50 Inhibitors bearing substituted piperazine (or homopiperazine) cinnamides may be produced by the methods described in Scheme 13. The methods described may be utilized to produce piperazine amide 51. Secondary amine 51 then serves as educt for preparing amides 52, through standard coupling reactions. Alternatively, 51 may be converted to tertiary amines 53, through standard reductive alkylation methods (for example, condensation with an aldehyde in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride). Scheme 13 51 53 A process for preparing analogs with amino substitutions of the aryl portion of the sulfides is illustrated in Scheme 14. The intermediate triflate 27 is reacted with halo-substituted thiophenols 54 (X = Br, Cl, OTf. OTs) under basic catalysis, to provide the sulfide derivative 55. The halogen or activated hydroxyl is then substituted with an amine, using the method of Buchwald (Old, D. W.; Wolfe, J. P.; Buchwald, S. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120. 9722-9723). Similar transition-metal catalyzed reactions may be applied, for example, the method of Hartwig {Hamann, B. C; Hartwig. J. F. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120. 7369-7370). The NR 3 R 4 group may constitute a cyclic or acyclic group, optionally substituted with additional functionalities that may enhance the activities of the compounds, and that further synthetic transformations familiar to those skilled in the art may be applied. For instance, ester groups may be hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acids or amides. The derived anilino sulfides may then be processed as described above to produce the cinnamides 56.

It was then poured into a stirred mixture of ice water, 100 ml. of concentrated HCI and ether. [Note: Not everything is soluble in this mixture] The ether layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent removed. Warm heptane was added to this residue, and any insoluble material was filtered. The solution was concentrated to give 8.74 g. (57%> yield) of product as an orange oil which solidified in the refrigerator. Example 310B 2J-Dichloro-4-(2-methoxyphenylthio)-benzaldehyde 2J-Dichloro-4-trifluoromethanesufonyloxy-benzaldehyde (2.50 g.) was dissolved in 6 ml. acetonitile. 2-Methoxybenzenethiol (2.55 g. of 70% pure material, 50%) excess) was added. With cooling 2.50 g. diisopropylethylamine was added slowly. The solution was removed from the ice bath, whereon a solid formed.. The solution was warmed in a 50C waterbath for 5 minutes. More acetonitrile (5 ml.) was added and the mixture was cooled in ice, and then filtered to get 2.047 g. of product, m.p. 137-139C.

Compounds that antagonize the interaction between ICAM-1 and LFA-1 can be identified, and their activities quantitated, using both biochemical and cell-based adhesion assays. A primary biochemical assay measures the ability of the compound in question to block the interaction between the integrin LFA-1 and its adhesion partner ICAM-1, as described below: ICAM-1 / LFA-1 Biochemical Interaction Assay In the biochemical assay, 100 μL of anti-LFA-1 antibody (ICOS Coφoration) at a concentration of 5 μg/ml in Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (D-PBS) is used to coat wells of a 96-well microtiter plate overnight at 4°C. The wells are then washed twice with wash buffer (D-PBS w/o Ca ++ or Mg ++ , 0.05% Tween 20) and blocked by addition of 200 μL of D-PBS, 5% fish skin gelatin. Recombinant LFA-1 (100 μL of 0.7 μg/ml, ICOS Coφoration) in D-PBS is then added to each well. Incubation continues for 1 hour at room temperature and the wells are washed twice with wash buffer. Serial dilutions of compounds being assayed as ICAM-1 /LFA-1 antagonists, prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), are diluted in D-PBS, 2mM MgCl 2 , 1%> fish skin gelatin and 50 μL of each dilution added to duplicate wells. This is followed by addition of 50 μL of 0.8 μg/ml biotinylated recombinant ICAM-1 /Ig (ICOS Coφoration) to the wells and the plates are incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The wells are then washed twice with wash buffer and 100 μL of Europium-labeled Streptavidin (Wallac Oy) diluted 1 : 100 in Delfia assay buffer (Wallac Oy) are added to the wells. Incubation proceeds for 1 hour at room temperature. The wells are washed eight times with wash buffer and 100 μL of enhancement solution (Wallac Oy, cat. No. 1244-105) are added to each well. Incubation proceeds for 5 minutes with constant mixing. Time-resolved fluorimetry measurements are made using the Victor 1420 Multilabel Counter (Wallac Oy) and the percent inhibition of each candidate compound is calculated using the following equation: average OD w/ compound minus background % inhibition = 100 X average OD w/o compound minus background where "background" refers to wells that are not coated with anti-LFA-1 antibody. Compounds of the present invention exhibit inhibitory activity in the above assay as follows: Biologically relevant activity of the compounds in this invention is confirmed using a cell-based adhesion assay, which measures their ability to block the adherence of JY-8 cells (a human EBV-transformed B cell line expressing LFA- 1 on its surface) to immobilized ICAM-1, as follows: ICAM-1 / JY-8 cell adhesion assay For measurement of inhibitory activity in the cell-based adhesion assay, 96- well microtiter plates are coated with 70 μL of recombinant ICAM-1/Ig (ICOS Coφoration) at a concentration of 5 μg/mL in D-PBS w/o Ca ++ or Mg ++ overnight at 4°C. The wells are then washed twice with D-PBS and blocked by addition of 200 μL of D-PBS, 5% fish skin gelatin by incubation for 1 hour at room temperature. Fluorescent tagged JY-8 cells (a human EBV-transformed B cell line expressing LFA-1 on its surface; 50 μL at 2 x 10 6 cells/ml in RPMI 1640/1% fetal bovine serum) are added to the wells. For fluorescent labeling of JY-8 cells, 5 x 10 6 cells washed once in RPMI 1640 are resuspended in 1 mL of RPMI 1640 containing 2 μM Calceiun AM (Molecular Probes), are incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes and washed once with RPMI- 1640/ 1% fetal bovine serum. Dilutions of compounds to be assayed for ICAM-1 /LFA-1 antagonistic activity are prepared in RPMI- 1640/ 1% fetal bovine serum from lOmM stock solutions in DMSO and 50 μL are added to duplicate wells. Microtiter plates are incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature and the wells are washed gently once with RPMI- 1640/ 1%> fetal bovine serum. Fluorescent intensity is measured in a fluorescent plate reader with an excitation wavelength at 485 nM and an emission wavelength at 530 nM. The percent inhibition of a candidate compound at a given concentration is calculated using the following equation: average OD w/ compound % inhibition = 100 X average OD w/o compound and these concentration/inhibition data are used to generate dose response curves, from which IC 50 values are derived. Compounds of the present invention exhibit blocking activity in the above assay as follows: Compounds of the present invention have been demonstrated to act via interaction with the integrin LFA-1, specifically by binding to the interaction domain (I-domain), which is known to be critical for the adhesion of LFA-1 to a variety of cell adhesion molecules. As such, it is expected that these compounds should block the interaction of LFA-1 with other CAM's. This has in fact been demonstrated for the case of ICAM-3. Compounds of the present invention may be evaluated for their ability to block the adhesion of JY-8 cells (a human EBV- transformed B cell line expressing LFA-1 on its surface) to immobilized ICAM-3, as follows: ICAM-3 / JY-8 cell adhesion assay For measurement of inhibitory activity in the cell-based adhesion assay, 96- well microtiter plates are coated with 50 μL of recombinant ICAM-3/Ig (ICOS Coφoration) at a concentration of 10 μg/mL in D-PBS w/o Ca "~ or Mg ++ overnight at 4°C. The wells are then washed twice with D-PBS, blocked by addition of 100 μL of D-PBS, 1%> bovine serum albumin (BSA) by incubation for 1 hour at room temperature, and washed once with RPMI- 1640 / 5% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (adhesion buffer). Dilutions of compounds to be assayed for ICAM-3/LFA-1 antagonistic activity are prepared in adhesion buffer from 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO and 100 μL are added to duplicate wells. JY-8 cells (a human EBV- transformed B cell line expressing LFA-1 on its surface; 100 μL at 0.75 x 10 6 cells/ml in adhesion buffer) are then added to the wells. Microtiter plates are incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature; the adherent cells are then fixed with 50 μL of 14%) glutaraldehyde/D-PBS and incubated for an additional 90 minutes. The wells are washed gently with dH 2 O; 50 μL of dH 2 O is added, followed by 50 μL of 1%) crystal violet. After 5 minutes the plates are washed 3X with dH 2 O; 75 μL of dH 2 O and 225 μL of 95% EtOH are added to each well to extract the crystal violet from the cells. Absorbance is measured at 570 nM in an ELISA plate reader. The percent inhibition of a candidate compound is calculated using the following equation: average OD w/ compound % inhibition = 100 X average OD w/o compound Compounds of the present invention exhibit blocking activity in the above assay as follows: The ability of the compounds of this invention to treat arthritis can be demonstrated in a murine collagen-induced arthritis model according to the method of Kakimoto, et al., Cell Immunol 142: 326-337, 1992, in a rat collagen-induced arthritis model according to the method of Knoerzer, et al., Toxicol Pathol 25:13-19, 1997, in a rat adjuvant arthritis model according to the method of Halloran, et al., Arthitis Rheum 39: 810-819, 1996, in a rat streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis model according to the method of Schimmer, et al., J Immunol 160: 1466-1477, 1998, or in a SCID-mouse human rheumatoid arthritis model according to the method of Oppenheimer-Marks et al., J Clin Invest 101 : 1261-1272, 1998.
