SUBSTITUTED BETA-AMINO ACID INHIBITORS OF METHIONINE AMINOPEPTIDASE-2

Abstract: A class of substituted beta -amino acids are potent inhibitors of methionine aminopeptidase type 2 (MetAP2) and are thus useful in inhibiting angiogenesis and disease conditions which depend upon angiogenesis for their development such as diabetic retinopathy, tumor growth, and conditions of inflammation. Pharmaceutical compounds containing the compounds and methods of inhibiting methionine aminopeptidase-2, and angiogenesis are also disclosed.

Description: SUBSTITUTED BETA-AMINO ACID INHIBITORS OF METHIONINE AMINOPEPTIDASE-2 Field of the Invention The present invention relates to organic compounds having biological activity, to compositions containing the compounds, and to medical methods of treatment. More particularly, the present invention concerns a class of substituted beta-amino acids and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, and methods of treating pathological conditions arising from or dependent upon angiogenesis. Background of the Invention Angiogenesis is the fundamental process by which new blood vessels are formed and is essential to a variety of normal body activities (such as reproduction, development and wound repair). Although the process is not completely understood, it is believed to involve a complex interplay of molecules which both stimulate and inhibit the growth of endothelial cells, the primary cells of the capillary blood vessels. Under normal conditions, these molecules appear to maintain the microvasculature in a quiescent state (i.e. one of no capillary growth) for prolonged periods which may last for as long as weeks or in some cases, decades. When necessary, however, (such as during wound repair), these same cells can undergo rapid proliferation and turnover within a 5 day period. (Folkman, J. and Shing, Y., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 267: 10931-10934 (1987), and Folkman, J. and Klagsbrun, M., Science, 235: 442-447 (1987)). Although angiogenesis is a highly regulated process under normal conditions, many diseases (characterized as "angiogenic diseases") are driven by persistent unregulated angiogenesis. Otherwise stated, unregulated angiogenesis may either cause a particular disease directly or exascerbate an existing pathological condition. For example, ocular neovacularization has been implicated as the most common cause of blindness and dominates approximately 20 eye diseases. In certain existing conditions such as arthritis, newly formed capillary blood vessels invade the joints and destroy cartilage. In diabetes, new capillaries formed in the retina invade the vitreous, bleed, and cause blindness. Growth and metastasis of solid tumors are also angiogenesis-dependent (Folkman, J., Cancer Research, 46: 467-473 (1986), Folkman, J., Journal ofthe National Cancer Institute, 82: 4-6 (1989)). It has been shown for example that tumors which enlarge to greater than 2 mm, must obtain their own blood supply and do so by inducing the growth of new capillary blood vessels. Once these new blood vessels become embedded in the tumor, they provide a means for tumor cells to enter the circulation and metastasize to distant sites, such as liver, lung or bone (Weidner, N., et al., The New England Journal of Medicine, 324: 1-8 (1991)). Because of this pivotal role played by neovasculurization in tumor formation and metastasis and in such other disease conditions as arthritis, inflammation, maccular degeneration of age, and diabetic retinopathy, agents which inhibit angiogenesis have been the subject of active current research for their clinical potential. D. Ingber, et al, in Nature. 348: 555-557 report that fumagillin, a natural product of fungal origin, and its synthetic analog, O-(chloroacetylcarbamoyl)fumagillol, also known as AGM-1470 or TNP-470, act as potent inhibitors of angiogenesis, with TNP-470 being 50-fold more potent than its natural precursor. Ny Sin et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94: 6099-6103 (1997) and Eric C. Griffith, et al, Chemistry and Biology. 4(6): 461-471 (1997) report that both AGM-1470 and ovalicin, a sequiterpene isolated from the fungus Pseudoroήum ocalis bind to a common bifunctional protein, type 2 methionine aminopeptidase, MetAP2, and conclude that MetAP2 plays a critical role in the proliferation of endothelial cells and may serve as a promising target for the development of new anti-angiogenic drugs. J. Abe, et al, Cancer Research. 54: 3407-3412 (1994) report that fumagillin, and its derivative TNP-470, are effective in inhibiting neovascularization by arresting the endothelial cell cycle in the late Gi phase. The literature has thus established a casual link between inhibition of MetAP2 and the resultant inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation and neovascularization. There is a need for discovery of new agents which inhibit MetAP2 for their potential as new drugs in combating angiogenesis or neovascularization and disease conditions such as arthritis, inflammation, macular degeneration of the eye, diabetic retinopathy, and tumor growth which depend upon neovasculaturization for their development. Compounds of the current invention are structurally novel, reversible inhibitors of MetAP2 which may display improved pharmaceutical properties and diminished side effects relative to the currently known irreversible inhibitors such as fumagillin and TNP-470.

Diastereomers having the preferred (Site 1)R and (Site 2)S stereochemistry can be synthesized by judicious choice of optically pure starting materials, asymmetric synthesis, or may be separated from mixtures of diastereomers by methods well known in the art as, for example, by reverse phase HPLC techniques. While compounds having a structure corresponding to the generic formula I given above are considered to fall within the scope of the present invention, a preferred sub- 2 5 5 group of compounds is defined by structural formula I where R is -SR where R is lower alkyl, most preferably, methyl or ethyl. Another preferred sub-group of compounds of the invention are compounds of 2 formula I where R is cycloalkyl, preferably cyclohexyl. Another preferred sub-group of compounds of the invention are compounds of 2 formula I where m is one and R is lower alkyl, preferably n-propyl. Another preferred sub-group of compounds of the invention are compounds of formula I where X is hydroxy or sulfhydryl, and Y is hydrogen, with X is hydroxyl being particularly preferred. Another preferred sub-group of compounds of the present invention is defined by structural formula I above where X and Y, taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, form a carbonyl or thiocarbonyl group, with carbonyl being particularly preferred. A preferred sub-group of compounds of the invention are defined by structural 3 formula I where R is an aminoacyl group derived from a naturally occurring amino acid, where the nitrogen atom at the N-terminus of the aminoacyl group is attached to the immediately adjacent carbonyl group of the parent molecular moiety, and the C-terminus, or carboxyl functionality of the aminoacyl residue is optionally and preferably capped by a carboxyl blocking group. Carboxyl blocking groups are well known to practitioners of the organic chemical arts, and are described in some detail in Chapter 5, pages 224-276 of "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis," Second Edition, by T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Kohn Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1991, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Biological Assay The ability of compounds of the present invention to inhibit methionine aminopeptidase 2 was evaluated using the following assay. Recombinant methionine aminopeptidase-2 (MetAP2) was expressed as a secreted protein with a baculovirus system and purified from the insect cell culture supernatant as previously described by R. L. Kendal, et al, J. Biol. Chem.. 267(29): 20667-20673 (1992) and Xuan Li, et al, Biochem. And Biophvs. Res. Comm.. 227: 152-159 (1996), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Assays for MetAP2 enzyme activity and MetAP2 inhibition were performed in 96- well microtiter plates. Compounds to be tested for MetAP2 inhibition were dissolved in dimethyl-sulfoxide at 10 mM and diluted ten-fold in assay buffer (50 nM ΗEPES, pΗ 7.4, 100 mM ΝaCl). Ten microliters of solution of each compound to be tested for inhibition were introduced into each cell of the plate, with each compound being tested in triphcate. Zero inhibition of enzyme activity was taken to be the result obtained in cells in which 10 mL of assay buffer was placed, and 100 percent inhibition of enzyme activity was taken to be the result obtained in cells in which 10 mM of fumagillin (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA, Catalog No. F-6771) in assay buffer was placed. A mixture totaling 90 μL per well, and made up of of 84 mL of assay buffer, 1 μL of L-amino acid oxidase (Sigma Catalog No. A-9378, -11 mg/mL), 1 μL of horseradish peroxidase (Sigma Catalog No. P-8451, dissolved in assay buffer at a concentration of 10 mg mL), 1 μL of the tripeptide Met-Ala-Ser (Bachem), dissolved in assay buffer at concentration of 50 mM), 1 mL of ort/iσ-dianisidine (Sigma Catalog No. D-1954, freshly made solution in water at a concentration of 10 mg,mL), and MetAP2 at a final concentration of 4 μg/mL was rapidly mixed and added to each cell containing test or control compound. The absorbence at 450 nanometers was measured every 20 seconds over a period of twenty minutes using an automaic plate reader (Molecular Devices, CA, USA). The Vmax in mOD/min, calculated for each well was used to represent MetAP2 activity. The IC 50 for each inhibitor was obtained by plotting the remaining MetAP2 activity versus inhibitor concentration. The results of these tests appear in Table 1.

As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil; safflower oil; sesame oil; olive oil; corn oil and soybean oil; glycols; such a propylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator. 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. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, 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, dimethylformamide, 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. Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables. The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use. In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption 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. 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 ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound. 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, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, 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) absorption 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. 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 active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. 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. Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this invention, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof. Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the compounds of this invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluoro-hydrocarbons. Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel. Therapeutic Administration According to the methods of treatment of the present invention, disorders caused by undesirable angiogenesis are treated or prevented in a patient such as a human or lower mammal by administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention, in such amounts and for such time as is necessary to achieve the desired result. By a "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound of the invention is meant a sufficient amount of the compound to inhibit angiogenesis, at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts. However, a well-known technique utilized by medical practitioners is to "dose titrate" the patient; that is, to start with dose lower than that required to obtain the desired effect, and to gradually increase the dose until the dseired therapeutic benefit is obtained. The total daily dose of the compounds of this invention administered to a human or other mammal in single or in divided doses can be in amounts, for example, from 0.01 to 50 mg/kg body weight or more usually from 0.11 to 25 mg/kg body weight. Single dose compositions may contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose. In general, treatment regimens according to the present invention comprise administration to a patient in need of such treatment from about 1 mg to about 500 mg of the compound(s) of this invention per day in single or multiple doses. General Synthetic Methods As shown in Reaction Scheme 1, 3-amino-2-hydroxy-carboxylic acids used as starting materials for the synthesis of compounds of the present invention are available from appropriately substituted alpha-aminoacids by conversion to the corresponding aminoaldehyde, formation of the corresponding cyanohydrin, and hydrolysis. Protection of the free amino group, for example with a tert-butyl carbamate group, followed by couphng with an appropriate amine, amino acid derivative, or alcohol and deprotection provides the target compounds. The coupling partners may be purchased from commercial sources or prepared using known chemical transformations. Subsequent conversion of the 3-amino-2- hydroxy compounds to compounds of the present invention are by standard methods well known to practitioners of the organic chemical arts and are illustrated by the Examples which appear below.
