Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel tripeptide derivatives and more particularly, to tripeptide derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which can inhibit a proteases and to protease inhibitor compositions comprising the tripeptide derivatives or salts thereof as an effective ingredient.
2. Statement of the Prior Art
It is well known that a variety of proteases are present in vivo. For example, there are known trypsin-like enzymes such as plasmin, trypsin, kallikrein, thrombin, urokinase, etc.; chymotrypsin-like enzymes; pepsin-like enzymes, etc. These proteases are known to cause various diseases when these enzymes are abnormally activated by some reasons. For example, when a large amount of plasmin formed by abnormal activation is present in blood, a hemorrhagic disease is caused. Plasmin takes part also in inflammation, increases blood permeability of a blood vessel, causes edemata, etc. and develops inflammatory diseases. Accordingly, substances having an inhibitory activity against these proteases are useful as drugs for some clinical treatments and various investigations on these substances have been made heretofore. For example, an anti-plasmin agent is useful as a hemostatic, antiinflammatory and anti-allergic agent; an anti-thrombin agent is useful for the treatment of thrombosis; an anti-trypsin agent is useful for the treatment of pancreatitis; an anti-kallikrein agent is useful for the treatment of inflammation and ulcer; and an anti-urokinase agent is useful for the prevention of hemorrhagic conditions in thrombolytic therapy by urokinase. Protease inhibitors having such activities were thus extensively investigated heretofore. However, the inhibitory activity of these proteases is poor and still insufficient to provide them as drugs for practical use. Any compounds having a sufficient inhibitory activity against several proteases have not been developed so far.
For example, some tripeptide derivatives containing argininal groups are widely known as a protease inhibitor. Acetyl-L-leucyl-L-leucyl-L-argininal (leupeptin) is a compound produced by a certain microorganism (see, e.g., J. Antibiotics (Tokyo), 1969, vol. 22, page 283) but its inhibitory activity is poor (see, e.g., Taisha, 1977, vol. 14, No. 6, page 1087). D-Phenylalanyl-L-prolyl-L-argininal is known as a thrombin inhibitor (e.g., Symposia Biologica Hungarica, 1984, vol. 25, page 277) but its inhibitory activities against other similar trypsin-like enzymes are poor. Furthermore, Umezawa et al. synthesized a number of leupeptin derivatives but any of them has a poor inhibitory activity against a trypsin-like enzyme (see J. Antibiotics (Tokyo), 1988, vol. 41, No. 2, page 220).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to solve these problems in the prior art and develop compounds having an inhibitory activity sufficient for practical use and having a sufficient inhibitory activity also against a plurality of proteases. Another object of the present invention is to develop protease inhibitor compositions comprising the same as an effective ingredieint.
The present inventor has made extensive efforts to survey compounds having a more potent inhibitory activity over a broader range than conventional protease inhibitors and as a result, has found that some tripeptide derivatives having a sequence of amino acid residues of D-lysine which has at least one amino group having a certain functional group attached thereto, L-proline and then L-, D- or DL-arginine, and acid addition salts thereof possess an excellent protease inhibitory activity. The present invention has thus been accomplished.
That is, the present invention is concerned with tripeptide derivatives represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein A and B independently represent an arenesulfonyl group (including those substituted with an alkyl group, a halogen atom, an amine derivative residue or an alkyloxy group), an alkanesulfonyl group (including those substituted with an aryl group), an aroyl group (including those substituted with an alkyl group, a halogen atom, an amine derivative residue or an alkyloxy group), an acyl group (including those substituted with an aryl group), a cycloalkanecarbonyl group (including those substituted with an alkyl group, a halogen atom or an amine derivative residue), an alkyloxycarbonyl group (including those substituted with an aryl group, with proviso that a tertiary alkyloxycarbonyl group and an arylmethyloxycarbonyl group are excluded), formyl group, hydrogen atom, adamantyl group, norbornyl group, an alkyl group (including those substituted with an aryl group), an aryl group (including those substituted with an alkyl group) or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic sulfonyl group (including those substituted with an alkyl group or a halogen atom) (provided that both A and B are not hydrogen simultaneously); Pro represents L-proline residue; and X represents L-, D- or DL-arginine residue; or acid addition salts thereof, and protease inhibitors comprising as the effective ingredient the tripeptide derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
Most of the compounds of the present invention described above potentially inhibit a variety of proteases.

Among the tripeptide derivatives of formula (I), N-.alpha.-N-.epsilon.-di-substituted-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-argininal (I') wherein A and B are both substituents, not hydrogen, N-.alpha.-H-N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysyl-L-prolylargininal (I") wherein A is hydrogen atom and B is a substituent, and N-.alpha.-substituted-N-.epsilon.-H-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-argininal (I) wherein A is a substituent and B is hydrogen are prepared by catalytically hydrogenating N-.alpha.-N-.epsilon.-di-substituted-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G-benzyloxycarbony l-argininal (II), N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-.ep silon.-benzyloxycarbonylargininal (III) or N-.alpha.-substituted-N-.epsilon.-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G-b enzyloxycarbonylargininal (IV), respectively, in the presence of an acid to remove the benzyloxycarbonyl protective group. Herein, in the case of using, e.g., hydrochloric acid as the acid, the tripeptide derivatives of (I'), (I") and (I) are obtained as the hydrochlorides, and in the case of using sulfuric acid, the tripeptide derivatives are obtained as the sulfates. Other acid addition salts may be obtained in a similar manner.
The tripeptide aldehyde derivatives (II), (III) and (IV) protected with benzyloxycarbonyl may be synthesized by reducing the corresponding tripeptide lactam derivatives, i.e., N-.alpha.-N-.epsilon.-di-substituted-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G-benzyloxycarbony l-arginine-67-lactam (V), N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G-b enzyloxycarbonyl-arginine-67-lactam (VI) and N-.alpha.-substituted-N-.epsilon.-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-lysyl-L-proyl-argini ne-67-lactam (VII) with lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran (THF), respectively. The tripeptide lactam derivatives (V), (VI) and (VII) can be prepared by reacting N-.alpha.- or N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G-benzyloxycarbonyl-arginine-.d elta.-lactam hydrochloride (VIII) or (IX); N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G-benzyloxycarbonyl-arginin e-.delta.-lactam hydrochloride (X); and N-.epsilon.-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-lysyl-L-proyl-N-G-benzyloxycarbonyl-argini ne-.delta.-lactam hydrochloride (XI) with the corresponding substituted chloride A-Cl or B-Cl (e.g., p-toluenesulfonyl chloride), respectively. The mono-substituted or unsubstituted tripeptide lactam derivatives (VIII), (IX), (X) and (XI) may be obtained by treating the corresponding t-butoxycarbonyl-containing compounds, i.e., N-.alpha.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G- benzyloxycarbonyl-arginine-.delta.-lactam (XII); N-.alpha.-substituted-N-.epsilon.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G- benzyloxycarbonyl-arginine-.delta.-lactam (XIII); N-.epsilon.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-D-lysyl-L-pro lyl-N-G-benzyloxycarbonyl-arginine-.delta.-lactam (XIV); and N-.alpha.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-N-.epsilon.-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-prolyl-N-G-be nzyloxycarbonyl-arginine-.delta.-lactam (XV), respectively, with, e.g., an acetic acid solution containing 2 N hydrogen chloride.
The tripeptide lactam derivatives (V), (VI), (VII), (XII), (XIII), (XIV) and (XV) may be synthesized by processes known in the peptide chemistry, as illustrated in Reaction Scheme 2 (see, e.g., Nobuo Izumiya et al., "Basic and Experimental Synthesis of Peptide", Maruzen Publishing Co.). That is, these tripeptide lactam derivatives may be obtained by condensing N-G-benzyloxycarbonyl-arginine-.delta.-lactam hydrochloride with N-.alpha.-N-.epsilon.-di-substituted-D-lysyl-L-proline (XVI); N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysyl-L-proline (XVII); N-.alpha.-substituted-N-.epsilon.-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-lysyl-L-proline (XVIII); N-.alpha.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysyl-L-proline (XIX); N-.alpha.-substituted-N-.epsilon.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-D-lysyl-L-proline (XX); N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-D-lysyl-L-proli ne (XXI); and N-.alpha.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-N-.epsilon. -benzyloxycarbonyl-D-lysyl-L-proline (XXII); respectively, according to, e.g., the mixed anhydride method (MA method). The dipeptide derivatives (XVI), (XVII), (XVIII), (XIX), (XX), (XXI) and (XXII) may be obtained by condensation of activated esters (e.g., 4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl-thiol ester) of N-.alpha.-N-.epsilon.-di-substituted-D-lysine (XXIII); N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysine (XXIV); N-.alpha.-substituted-N-.epsilon.-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-lysine (XXV); N-.alpha.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-N-.epsilon.-substituted-D-lysine (XXVI); N-.alpha.-substituted-N-.epsilon.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-D-lysine (XXVII); N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-D-lysine (XXVIII); and N-.alpha.-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-N-.epsilon.-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-D-lysine (XXIX); with proline, respectively, by known methods in the peptide chemistry.
In the processes described above, the final products of the tripeptide derivatives may, in some cases, contain a small amount of the products having D-argininal residue. However, these products do not affect their therapeutic application.
The acid addition salts of the tripeptide derivatives of formula (I) may be used as drugs like the tripeptide derivatives for the therapeutic purpose and are preferably acceptable pharmacologically and medically. However, the basis for the activity resides in the tripeptide derivatives themselves which are the basic moiety but the acid moiety is not so important. Nevertheless, a difference in the acid moiety results in differences in the easiness of isolation, stability and solubility of compound. Examples of suitable acid addition salts of the tripeptide derivatives of formula (I) include inorganic acid salts such as hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulfates, etc.; organic carboxylates such as acetates, oxalates, succinates, malates, citrates, lactates, etc.; organic sulfonates such as benzenesulfonates, paratoluenesulfonates, methanesulfonates, etc. Salts which are pharmaceutically difficultly acceptable (e.g., hydrofluorides and perchlorates) and pharmaceutically non-acceptable salts may be utilized for the isolation of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts or for the purification of bases; alternatively, these salts are useful and valuable for preparing the pharmaceutically acceptable salts by methods well known to one skilled in the art. In the case of the tripeptide derivatives having a plurality of free amino groups, the tripeptide derivatives may be used in the form of mono- or poly-acid addition salts or in the form of mixed acid addition salts with a plurality of acids.
It has been confirmed that when a protease activity of the tripeptide derivatives and their acid addition salts of the present invention is determined in the presence of a trypsin-like serine protease such as plasmin, thrombin, trypsin, kallikrein, factor Xa, urokinase, etc., the compounds of the present invention all have a high inhibitory activity against each enzyme.
Accordingly, the protease inhibitor composition comprising as the effective ingredient the tripeptide derivative of formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt is useful for the treatment of diseases associated with a trypsin-like serine protease, for example, inflammation, hemorrhage, allergy, pancreatitis and ulcer.
Where the compound of the present invention is used as a drug, its application is not strictly limited. The compound may be prepared into a suitable medical preparation conventionally used in the pharmaceutical field and used by intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, drop transfusion, oral administration, etc. Daily dose is suitably 1 to 1000 mg per adult and needless to say, the dose may be appropriately varied, if necessary.

EXAMPLE 1
Synthesis of N-.epsilon.-(p-tosyl)-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-L-argininal sulfate
a) N-.alpha.-Benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-(p-tosyl)-D-lysyl-L-proline
A suspension of N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-(p-tosyl)-D-lysine (81.3 g, 188 mmol, described in Collection Czech. Chem. Commun., 1967, vol. 32, page 1242), 2-mercapto-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine (31.6 g, 225 mmol) and ethyl acetate (260 ml) was cooled to 0.degree. to 5.degree. C. A solution of DCC (38.7 g, 188 mmol) in ethyl acetate (110 ml) was gradually added to the suspension. At this step, the reaction solution was kept at 0.degree. to 5.degree. C. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The precipitated crystals were filtered out and the filtrate was washed with 10% NaHCO.sub.3 aqueous solution and then with sodium chloride aqueous solution. After drying over MgSO.sub.4, the filtrate was concentrated to give 102.5 g (98%) of N-.alpha.-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-(p-tosyl)-D-lysine-4,6-dimethylpyr imidin-2-ylthiol ester.
This activated ester (102.5 g, 185 mmol) was dissolved in THF (380 ml). The activated ester solution in THF was added to a suspension of L-proline (21.2 g, 185 mmol) and triethylamine (37.3 g, 368 mmol) in water (200 ml) at room temperature followed by stirring overnight. The reaction solution was concentrated to a volume of about 1/3 with an evaporator. After water was added to the concentrate, the mixture was washed twice with ether. A pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 2 with 5 N hydrochloric acid under cooling at 0.degree. C. After extracting with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed twice with chilled 5% hydrochloric acid and twice with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution. After drying over MgSO.sub.4, an excess of the solvent was distilled off and the residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate hexane to give 48.0 g (70%) of the title compound. ##STR4##
b) N-.alpha.-Benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-(p-tosyl)-D-lysyl-L-prolyl-N-G-ben zyloxycarbonyl-L-arginine-.delta.-lactam

Dry ether (50 ml) was added to the reaction mixture. The precipitated crystals were taken by filtration and dried to give 10.9 g (91%) of N-G-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-arginine-.delta.-lactam hydrochloride.
Triethylamine (8.4 ml, 60 mmol) was added to a solution of the crystals (10.9 g, 30 mmol) in DMF (45 ml) at -10.degree. C. The resulting suspension was added to the mixed acid anhydride prepared below.
N-.alpha.-Benzyloxycarbonyl-N-.epsilon.-(p-tosyl)-D-lysyl-L-proline (15.9 g, 30 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (36 ml) and the solution was cooled to -15.degree. C. Then, N-methylmorpholine (3.30 ml, 30 mmol) and isobutyl chloroformate (3.89 ml, 30 mmol) were added, in sequence, to the solution. After completion of the addition, stirring was continued for 10 minutes. Thereafter, the suspension of the arginine-.delta.-lactam derivative suspension in DMF was added to the mixed acid anhydride obtained. The reaction mixture was reacted at -10.degree. C. for 30 minutes and at 0.degree. C. for 30 minutes. After DMF was distilled off under reduced pressure, ethyl acetate was added to the residue. The mixture was washed, in sequence, with 5% hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, 10% NaHCO.sub.3 aqueous solution and saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution. After drying over MgSO.sub.4, the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and 12.2 g (51%) of the title compound was obtained as an oil from the fraction eluted with chloroform-methanol.
