Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to compounds and compositions which antagonize cholecystokinin and gastrin, processes for making such compounds, synthetic intermediates employed in these processes and a method for treating gastrointestinal disorders, central nervous system disorders, cancers of the gastrointestinal system (i.e., pancreas, gall bladder, etc.), hypoinsulinemia, or potentiating analgesics, or regulating appetite disorders with such compounds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cholecystokinins (CCK) are a family of polypeptide hormones. CCK and a 33 amino acid fragment of CCK (CCK.sub.33) were first isolated from hog intestine. (Mutt and Jorpes, Biochem. J., 125,628, 1981). Recently the CCK.sub.33 fragment has been found in the brain, where it appears to be the precursor of two smaller fragments, an octapeptide CCK.sub.8 and a tetrapeptide CCK.sub.4 (Dockray, Nature, 264, 4022, 1979).

CCK.sub.8, the carboxyl terminal octapeptide fragment of CCK, is the smallest CCK fragment that remains fully biologically-active. (Larsson and Rehfeld, Brain Res. 165,201-218, 1979). The localization of CCK fragments in the cortex of the brain suggests that CCK may be an important neuromodulator of memory, learning and control of primary sensory and motor functions. CCK and its fragments are believed to play an important role in appetite regulation and satiety. (Della-Fera, Science. 206,471, 1979; Gibbs et al., Nature, 289, 599, 1981; and Smith, Eating and Its Disorders, Raven Press, New York, p. 67, 1984).

CCK antagonists (B. J. Gertz in Neurology and Neurobiology, Vol 47, Cholecystokinin Antagonists, Wang and Schoenfeld, eds., Alan R. Liss, Inc., New York, N.Y., pp. 327-342, 1988; Silverman et al., Am J Gastroent, 82(8), 703-8, 1987) are useful in the treatment and prevention of CCK-related disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) (Lotti et al., J. Pharm Exp Therap, 241(1), 103-9, 1987), central nervous (CNS) (Panerai et al., Neuropharmacology, 26(9), 1285-87, 1987) and appetite regulatory systems of animals, especially man. CCK antagonists are also useful in potentiating and prolonging opiate induced analgesia and thus have utility in the treatment of pain. (Faris et al., Science 226, 1215, 1984; Rovati et al., Clinical Research, 34(2), 406A, 1986; Dourish et al., European J. Pharmacology, 147, 469-72, 1988). Disease states that may be treated with CCK antagonists are disorders of gastric emptying, gastroesophageal reflux disease (Setnikar et al, Arzn Forsch./Drug Research, 37(II) 10, 1168-71, 1987), pancreatitis, pancreatic and gastric carcinomas (Douglas et al., Gastroent, 96, 4629, 1989; Beauchamp et al., Am Surg. 202, 313-9, 1985), disorders of bowel motility, biliary dyskinesia, anorexia nervosa, hypoglycemia (Rossetti, Diabetes, 36, 1212-15, 1987; Reagan, European J. Pharmacology, 144, 241-3, 1987), gallbladder disease, and the like.

Previously four distinct chemical classes of CCK receptor antagonists have been reported. The first class comprises derivatives of cyclic nucleotides as represented by dibutyryl cyclic GMP (Barlos et al., Am, J. Physiol., 242, G161, 1982) and references sited therein). The second class is represented by the C-terminal fragments of CCK (see Jensen et al., Biochem. Biophys. Acta, 757, 250 1983) and Spanarkel, J. Biol. Chem. 258, 6746, 1983). The third class comprises amino acid derivatives of glutamic acid and tryptophan as indicated by proglumide (and its analogs) and benzotript, very simple analogs of CCK (see Hahne et al., Proc. Natl. Acad, Sci. U.S.A., 78, 6304, 1981 and Jensen et al., Biochem. Biophys. Acta. 761,269, 1983). The fourth and most recent class is comprised of 3-substituted benzodiazepines, represented by L-364,718 (see: Evans et al., Proc. Natl, Acad, Sci, U.S.A., 83 4918, 1986).

With the exception of certain substituted benzodiazepines and recently reported analogs of proglumide (Makovec et al., Arzneim.-Forsch./Drug Res. 36,(I), 98-102, 1986; European Patent Application No. 0,272,228; PCT Patent Application No. WO 88/05774), all of these compounds are relatively weak antagonists of CCK usually demonstrating IC.sub.50 's between 10.sup.-4 and 10.sup.-6 M. The benzodiazepine CCK antagonists or their metabolites may have undesirable effects in vivo due to their interaction with benzodiazepine or other receptors.

The C-terminal pentapeptide fragment of CCK is the same as the C-terminal pentapeptide fragment of another polypeptide hormone, gastrin Gastrin, like CCK, exists in the GI system. Gastrin antagonists are useful in the treatment and prevention of gastrin related disorders of the GI system such as ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and central G cell hyperplasia. There are no effective receptor antagonists of the in vivo effects of gastrin. (Morely, Gut Pept. Ulcer Proc., Hiroshima Symp. 2nd, 1, 1983). A recent report (Bock J. Med. Chem., 32, 13-16, 1989) discloses potent in vitro gastrin antagonists.

Analogs of proglumide have also been disclosed by Freidinger (U.S. Pat. 4,860,938) and Nadzan and Kerwin (U.S. Pat. No. 4,971,978), but both require a carboxylate or carboxyalkyl terminal group, respectively, and neither possesses the novel combinations of activity and selectivity of the instant invention.

The compounds of the invention may be made as shown in the following scheme(s). The compounds of the invention having one asymmetric center can exist as separate enantiomers or as mixtures of enantiomers. The compounds of the invention which contain two or more asymmetric carbon atoms can exist as pure diastereomers, mixtures of distereomers, diastereomeric racemates or mixtures of diastereomeric racemates. The present invention includes within its scope all of the isomeric forms.

A number of synthetic pathways exist for the production of .alpha.-amino acids and their derivatives. The invention is not limited to those methods discussed here for the synthesis of .alpha.-amino acids but is meant to include those variations and methods encompassed by the prior art as discussed in the chemical literature in its entirety. .alpha.-Amino acids (refer to Scheme 1) can be produced directly by the displacement of .alpha.-halogenated esters (1, X is halo) and the like or other .alpha.-situated leaving groups by ammonia and or other substituted amines (R.sub.1 is hydrogen, loweralkyl, carboxyester-substituted alkyl) and/or their analogs (e.g., carbamates, hydrazines, azides) (e.g., Marvel, Org. Synth, 20, 81, 1940; 106, 1940; 21, 60, 1941; 74, 1941; Birnbaum, J. Biol, Chem., 333, 1953). The antino group is then unmasked, for example by reduction, and the ester group (amide, etc.) is saponified to the acid in a standard fashion.

A second method involves the condensation of an .alpha.-ketoester (amide, etc) with an amine or amine equivalent (e.g., hydroxylamine, hydrazine, carbamate, etc.) and the subsequent reduction of this product (2) to the .alpha.-aminoester (amide, acid, etc. (e.g., Can, J. Chem., 29, 427, 1951; J. Org. Chem., 38, 822, 1973; J. Org. Chem., 6, 878, 1941)). Alternatively, an organometalic reagent can be added to the oxime 2 (imine, etc.) to provide as final products either monosubstituted .alpha.-amino acids in the case where D is hydrogen, or disubstituted amino acids in the case where D is other than hydrogen (e.g., Tetrahedron Lett., 28(42), 4973, 1987).

A third method is the alkylation of a carbanion resulting from compound (3) with an electrophilic nitrogen source (e.g. diethylazodicarboxylate). The intermediate product can subsequently be unmasked to provide the desired .alpha.-amino acid. A similar method involves alkylation of the carbanion derived from compound (4) with an appropriate alkylating agent. This method also allows for the possibility of disubstitution of the .alpha. center.

A fifth route involves the Strecker reaction and its modifications. Reaction of cyanide and ammonium on aldehydes and ketones (5) provides the amino acid.

A last method involves the direct reduction of unsaturated heterocyclic carboxylic acids (6) to directly provide the cyclic amino acids (7), (wherein D and R.sup.1 are encompassed in a ring).

With suitably available .alpha.-amino acids (8) (Scheme 2) the amino group is protected with an N protecting group (most frequently Boc or Cbz) and, if the carboxylic acid has not been unmasked, it is saponified with base to provide the parent carboxylic acid (9). The N-protected intermediate is then coupled with the amine HNR.sup.3 R.sup.4 using any of a number of standard coupling techniques (carbodiimide, BOPCl, chloroformates, oxalylchloride, etc.). Preferred secondary amines are of the type where R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are alkyl, arylalkyl, aryl, are connecting such as to form a cyclic secondary amine when taken together with the adjacent nitrogen, or represent another amino acid. The resulting product (10) is then N-deprotected using HCl or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to remove a Boc group and hydrogenolysis or HBr to remove a Cbz group. The resultant amine (11) is then coupled with aromatic carboxylic acids, aromatic acid halides, heteroaromatic carboxylic acids, aromatic isocyanates, and the like using standard coupling techniques to provide the desired products (12), (13), and (14). Preferred acyl coupling partners groups include: quinoline carboxylic acids, indole carboxylic acids, substituted benzoic acids and benzoyl chlorides, arylisocyanates and naphthoic acids, benzothiofuranyl carboxylic acids and the like. ##STR5##

Intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of formula I include compounds of the formula: ##STR6## wherein D, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are as defined above, and P.sup.1 is hydrogen or an N-protecting group.

Other intermediates for the preparation of compounds of the formula I include compounds of the formula: ##STR7## wherein A and B are as defined above, Z' is an activating group; or B--C(O)--Z' taken together represent --N.dbd.C.dbd.O, or --CH.sub.2 --N.dbd.C.dbd.O.

Activating groups are those functional groups which activate a carboxylic acid group toward coupling with an amine to form an amide. Activating groups Z' include, but are not limited to, --OH, --SH, alkoxy, thioalkoxy, halogen, formic and acetic acid derived anhydrides, anhydrides derived from alkoxycarbonyl halides such as isobutyloxycarbonylchloride and the like, N-hydroxysuccinimide derived esters, N-hydroxyphthalimide derived esters, N-hydroxybenzotriazole derived esters, N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxamide derived esters, 4-nitrophenol derived esters, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol derived esters and the like.

The following examples will serve to further illustrate preparation of the novel compounds of this invention.

Protocol for Radioligand Binding Experiments

1. Guinea Pig Cerebral Cortical and Pancreatic Membrane Preparations

Cortical and pancreatic membranes were prepared as described (Lin and Miller; J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 232, 775-780, 1985). In brief, cortex and pancreas were removed and rinsed with ice-cold saline. Visible fat and connective tissues were removed from the pancreas. Tissues were weighed and homogenized separately in approximately 25 mL of ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4 at 4.degree. C., with a Brinkman Poloytron for 30 sec, setting 7. The homogenates were centrifuged for 10 min at 1075.times.g and pellets discarded. The supernatants were saved and centrifuged at 38,730.times.g for 20 min. The resultant pellets were rehomogenized in 25 mL of 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer with Teflon-glass homogenizer, 5 up and down strokes. The homogenates were centrifuged again at 38,730.times.g for 20 min. Pellets were then resuspended in 20 mM HEPES, containing 1 mM EGTA, 118 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl.sub.2, 100 .mu.M bestatin, 3 .mu.M phosphoramidon, pH 7.4 at 22.degree. C., with a Teflon-glass homogenizer, 15 up and down strokes. Resuspension volume was 15-18 mL per gram of original wet weight for the cortex and 60 mL per gram for the pancreas.

Incubation Conditions

[.sup.125 I]Bolton-Hunter CCK.sub.8 ([.sup.125 I]BH-CCK.sub.8), and the test compounds were diluted with HEPES-EGTA-salt buffer (see above) containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA). To 1 mL Skatron polystyrene tubes were added 25 .mu.L of [.sup. 125 I]BH-CCK.sub.8, and 200 .mu.L of membrane suspension. The final BSA concentration was 0.1%. The cortical tissues were incubated at 30.degree. C. for 150 min and pancreatic; tissues were incubated at 37.degree. C. for 30 min. Incubations were terminated by filtration using Skatron Cell Harvester and SS32 microfiber filter mats. The specific binding of [.sup.125 I]BH-CCK.sub.8, defined as the difference between binding in the absence and presence of 1 .mu.M CCK.sub.8, was 85-90% of total binding in cortex and 90-95% in pancreas. IC.sub.50 's were determined from the Hill analysis. The results of these binding assays are shown in Table 1.

Protocol for Amylase Release

This assay was performed using the modified protocol of Lin et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 236, 729-734, 1986.

1. Guinea Pig Acini Preparation

Guinea pig acini were prepared by the method of Bruzzone et al. (Biochem. J. 226, 621-624, 1985) as follows. The pancreas was dissected and connective tissues and blood vessels were removed. The pancreas was cut into small pieces (2 mm) by a seizure and placed in a 15 mL conical plastic tube containing 2.5 mL of Krebs-Ringer HEPES (KRH) buffer plus 400 units per mL of collagenase. The composition of the KRH buffer was: HEPES, 12.5 mM; NaCl, 118 mM; KCl, 4.8 mM; CaCI.sub.2, mM; KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, 1.2 mM; MgSO.sub.4, 1.2 mM; NaHCO.sub.3, 5 mM; glucose, 10 mM at pH 7.4. The buffer was supplemented with 1% MEM vitamins, 1% MEM amino acids and 0.001% aprotinin. The tube was shaken by hand until the suspension appeared homogeneous, usually 5-6 min. Five mL of the KRH, without collagenase and with 0.1% BSA, was added and the tube was centrifuged at 50.times.g for 35 sec. The supernatant was discarded and 6 mL of the KRH was added to the cell pellet. Cells were triturated by a glass pipette and centrifuged at 50.times.g for 35 sec. This wash procedure was repeated once. The cell pellet from the last centrifugation step was then resuspended in 15 mL of KRH containing 0.1% BSA. The contents were filtered through a dual nylon mesh, size 275 and 75 .mu.M. The tiltrate, containing the acini, was centrifuged at 50.times.g for 3 min. The acini were then resuspended in 5 mL of KRH-BSA buffer for 30 min at 37.degree. C., under 100% oxygen atmosphere (O.sub.2), with a change of fresh buffer at 15 min.

2. Amylase Assay

After the 30 min incubation time, the acini were resuspended in 100 volumes of KRH-BSA buffer, containing 3 .mu.M phosphoramidon and 100 .mu.M bestatin. While stirring, 400 .mu.L of acini were added to 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes containing 50 .mu.L of CCK.sub.8, buffer, or test compounds. The final assay volume was 500 .mu.L. Tubes were vortexed and placed in a 37.degree. C. water bath, under 100% O.sub.2, for 30 min. Afterward, tubes were centrifuged at 10,000 g for 1 min. Amylase activity in the supernatant and the cell pellet were separately determined after appropriate dilutions in 0.1% Triton X-100, 10 mM NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, pH 7.4 by Abbott Amylase A-gent test using the Abbott Bichromatic Analyzer 200. The reference concentration for CCK.sub.8 in determining the IC.sub.50 's of the compounds of Formula I was 3.times.10.sup.-10 M. The results of this assay are shown in Table 2. These results indicate that compounds of the invention are CCK antagonists.

In Vitro Results

The preferred compounds of Formula I are those which inhibited specific [.sup.125 I]-BH-CCK.sub.8 binding in a concentration dependent manner. Analysis of [.sup.125 I]-BH-CCK.sub.8 receptor binding in the absence and presence of the compounds of formula I indicated the compounds of formula I inhibited specific [.sup.125 I]-BH-CCK.sub.8 receptor binding. The IC.sub.50 values of the compounds of Formula I are presented in Table 1.

The results herein also indicate that compounds of the invention possess selectivity for the pancreatic (type A) CCK receptors.

Protocol for Calcium Release Assay

This protocol is as described in Lin, et al. Mol. Pharm. 36, 881-886, 1989. NCI-H345 cells were cultured according to Yoder,and Moody, Peptides 8, 103-107, 1987, except that the medium was modified to RPMI 1640 with 2.5% fetal bovine serum (heat inactivated), 5 mcg/L sodium selenite, 5 mg/L human transferrin, 5 mg/L, insulin, 100 units/mL penicillin and 100 .mu.g/L streptomycin. Cells (ca. 200,000/mL) were loaded with 1 mcM indo-1/AM for 1h, washed, and resuspended in Dulbeco's phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, plus 0.1% BSA and 0.1% glucose. Intracellular Ca.sup.2+ levels were monitored with a SLM 8000C spectrofluorimeter with settings of 350 nm excitation and 405 and 480 nm emissions. Calibrations of [Ca.sup.2+ ]i were done as described in Grynkiewicz, et al, J. Biol. Chem. 260, 3440-3450, 1985:

where R.sub.min and R.sub.max were the ratios (480/405) obtained in the presence of excess EGTA (10 mM) and digitonin (50 mcM), respectively. K.sub.d is assumed to be 240 nM, and R is the ratio in the presence and the absence of CCK. Basal calcium levels were 147.+-.3 (n=3) and the maximum levels of calcium stimulated with 1 mcM CCK-8 were 357.+-.3. Test compounds were incubated in varying concentrations with the cells prior to addition of CCK-8 to a final concentration of 10 nM. The IC.sub.50 value represents the concentration that decreases the response elicited by CCK-8 by 50%.

Table 3 presents the data obtained in the calcium release assay for selected compounds of formula I. These data demonstrate that the activity of these compounds is as antagonistic agents.

In Vivo Results

The ability of the compounds of Formula I to interact with CCK receptors and to antagonize CCK in vivo can be demonstrated using the following protocols.

Inhibition of CCK Induced Gastric Emptying

Three fasted mice were dosed (p.o.) with the test compound. CCK.sub.8 (80 .mu.g/kg s.c.) was administered within 60 minutes and charcoal meal (0.1 mL of 10% suspension) was given orally 5 minutes later. The animals were sacrificed within an additional 5 minutes.

Gastric emptying, defined as the presence of charcoal within the intestine beyond the pyloric sphincter, is inhibited by CCK.sub.8. Gastric emptying observed in 2 or 3 mice (greater than 1) indicates antagonism of CCK.sub.8.

Measurement of Plasma Insulin Level Following Treatment with CCK.sub.8 and a Compound of Formula I

The ability of the compounds of Formula I to antagonize CCK induced hyperinsulinemia can be demonstrated in vivo using the following protocol.

Male mice, 20-30 g, were used in all experiments. The animals were fed with laboratory lab chow and water ad libitum. The compound of Formula I (1-100 mg/kg in 0.2 mL of 0.9% saline) was administered i.p. Ten minutes later CCK.sub.8 (0,2 to 200 nmole/kg in 0,2 mL of 0,9% saline) or saline was injected into the tail vein. Two minutes later the animals were sacrificed and blood was collected into 1,5 mL heparinized polypropylene tubes, The tubes were centrifuged at 10,000.times.g for 2 minutes. Insulin levels were determined in the supernatant (plasma) by an RIA method using kits from Radioassay Systems Laboratory (Carson, Calif.) or Novo Biolabs (Mass.).

Antagonism of CCK Mediated Behavioral Effect in Mice with Compounds of Formula I

Male Swiss CD-1 mice (Charles River) (22-27 g) are provided ample food (Purina Lab Chow) and water until the time of their injection with the test compounds.

ICV injections were given by a free-hand method similar to that previously described (Haley and McCormick, Br, J. Pharmacol. Chemother. 12, 12-15 1957). The animals were placed on a slightly elevated metal grid and restrained by the thumb and forefinger at the level of the shoulders, thus immobilizing their heads. Injections were made with a 30 gauge needle with a "stop" consisting of a piece of tygon tubing to limit penetration of the needle to about 4.5 mm below the surface of the skin. The needle was inserted perpendicular to the skull at a midline point equidistant from the eye and an equal distance posterior from the level of the eyes such that the injection site and the two eyes form an equilateral triangle. The injection volume (5 .mu.L) was expelled smoothly over a period of approximately 1 second.

Immediately after the injections the mice were placed in their cages and allowed a 15 minute recovery period prior to the beginning of the behavioral observations.

For the behavioral observations, the mice were placed in clear plastic cages. Each cage measured 19.times.26.times.15 centimeters and contained a 60-tube polypropylene test tube rack (NALGENE #5970-0020) placed on end in the center of the cage to enhance exploratory activity. Observations were made every 30 seconds for a period of 30 minutes. Behavior was compared between drug and CCK.sub.8 treated mice; CCK.sub.8 treated mice; and mice treated with an equal volume of carrier (usually 0.9% saline or 5% dimethylsulfoxide in water). Locomotion as reported here consisted of either floor locomotion or active climbing on the rack. Differences among groups were analyzed by Newman-Kewels analysis and a probability level of p< 0.05 was accepted as significant. Each group tested consisted of 10 animals. The results of this test indicate that compounds of Formula I are antagonists of CCK in vivo. Minimally effective doses (MED) are defined as that dose at which a statistically significant reversal of CCK-induced inactivity was observed when the test compound of formula I and CCK.sub.8 were coadministered.

Protocol for Plus-Maze AsSay,

Male CD1 mice from Charles River weighing 25-30 g were used. They were housed in groups of 14 in Plexiglas cages and located in a temperature-regulated environment with lights on between 7:00 and 20:00 h. All animals used were naive to the apparatus. The elevated plus-maze was made of Plexiglas and consisted of two open arms (17.times.8.0 cm) and two enclosed arms (17.times.8.times.15 cm) extending from a central platform (8.times.8 cm)(Lister, Psychophartnacology 92: 180-185,1987). It was mounted on a Plexiglas base raised 39 cm above the floor. Light levels on the open and enclosed arms were similar. Animals received i.p. injections of the drug 15 min before the beginning of the test. At the beginning of the experiment, mice were placed in the center of the maze and the following variables scored: 1) the time spent in the open arms; 2) the total distance traveled by the mice. These variables were automatically recorded by a camera mounted above the apparatus and analyzed by computer software (Videomex, Columbus Instruments, Columbus, Ohio). The test lasted 5 minutes.

The compounds of Formula I antagonize CCK which makes the compounds useful in the treatment and prevention of disease states in mammals (especially humans) wherein CCK or gastrin may be involved, for example, gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, excess pancreatic or gastric secretion, hyperinsulinemia, acute pancreatitis, GI cancers (especially cancers of the gall bladder and pancreas), motility disorders, pain (potentiation of opiate analgesia), central nervous system disorders such as anxiety, panic disorder, depression, neuroleptic disorders, tardive dyskinesia, Parkinson's disease, psychosis, including schizophrenia, or Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome; disorders of the appetite regulatory systems, bulimia, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and central G cell hyperplasia, and the treatment of substance abuse.

The compounds of the present invention can be used in the form of salts derived from inorganic or organic acids. These salts include but are not limited to the following: acetate, adipate, alginate, citrate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, digluconate, cyclopentanepropionate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, glucoheptonate, glycerphosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, fumarate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, pictate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, thiocyanate, tosylate, and undecanoate. Also, the basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized with such agents as loweralkyl halides, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chloride, bromides, and iodides; dialkyl sulfates, long chain halides such as decyl, lauryl, myristyl, and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides, arylalkyl halides like benzyl and phenethyl bromides, and others. Water or oil-soluble or dispersible products are thereby obtained.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the compounds of Formula I which contain a basic or acidic moiety by conventional methods. Generally, the salts are prepared by reacting the free base or acid with stoichiometric amounts or with an excess of the desired salt forming inorganic or organic acid or base in a suitable solvent or various combinations of solvents.

Examples of acids which may be employed to form pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include such inorganic acids as HCI and phosphoric acid and such organic acids such as oxalic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid and citric acid. Other salts include salts with alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, or magnesium or with organic bases.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the acid of Formula I are also readily prepared by conventional procedures such as treating an acid of Formula I with an appropriate amount of base, such as an alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxide e.g. sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, or magnesium, or an organic base such as an amine, e.g., dibenzylethylenediamine, cyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, TEA, piperidine, pyrrolidine, benzylamine, and the like, or a quaterary ammonium hydroxide such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide and the like.

When a compound of Formula I is used as an antagonist of CCK or gastrin in a human subject, the total daily dose administered in single or divided doses may be in amounts, for exan-tple, from 0.001 to 1000 mga day and more usually 1 to 1000 mg. Dosage unit compositions may contain such amounts of submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.

The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated, the particular treatment and the particular mode of administration.

It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy.

The compounds of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, rectally, or topically in dosage unit formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles as desired. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous 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 or suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butandiol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, 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 may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable nonirritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration may include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. 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., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsion, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

The present agents 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 liposotnes can be used.
