The compounds of formula I form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with bases such as alkali metal hydroxides (e.g. sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide), alkaline earth metal hydroxides (e.g. calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide), ammonium hydroxide and the like. The compounds of formula I which are basic form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with acids. As such salts there come into consideration not only salts with inorganic acids such as hydrohalic acids (e.g. hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid), sulphuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid etc, but also salts with organic acids such as acetic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, salicylic acid, citric acid, methanesulphonic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid etc.
The compounds of formula I contain at least two asymmetric carbon atoms and can accordingly exist as optically active enantiomers, as diastereoisomers or as racemates. The present invention is intended to embrace all of these forms.
According to the process provided by the present invention, the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are manufactured by
(a) reacting an acid of the general formula ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, m and n have the significance given earlier, with a compound of the general formula
wherein Z represents hydrogen, tri(lower alkyl)silyl or
diphenyl(lower alkyl)silyl, and, where required, cleaving off any diphenyl(lower alkyl)silyl group present in the reaction product, or
(b) catalytically hydrogenating a compound of the general formula ##STR6## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, m and n have the significance given earlier
and Bz represents benzyl, and,
if desired, converting a compound of formula I obtained into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
The reaction of an acid of formula II with a compound of formula III in accordance with embodiment (a) of the process can be carried out in a known manner. For example, an acid of formula II can be reacted with a compound of formula III in an inert organic solvent such as dichloromethane, dimethylformamide or the like using 1hydroxybenzotriazole in the presence of a condensation agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride at about 0.degree. C. to about room temperature. Alternatively, an acid of formula II can be converted into the corresponding acid chloride (e.g. using oxalyl chloride) and the acid chloride can then be reacted with a compound of formula III. Preferred compounds of formula III are those in which Z represents tert.butyldimethylsilyl or tert.butyldiphenylsilyl. When a compound of formula III in which Z represents tri(lower alkyl)silyl is used, this group is cleaved off during the reaction and working-up, and a compound of formula I is Obtained directly. On the other hand, when a compound of formula III in which Z represents diphenyl(lower alkyl)silyl is used, this group remains in the reaction product and must subsequently be cleaved off in a known manner, for example by means of fluoride ions.
The catalytic hydrogenation of a compound of formula IV in accordance with embodiment (b) of the process can be carried out in a manner known per se; for example in an inert organic solvent using hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst. Suitable inert organic solvents are, for example, lower alkanols such as methanol, ethanol, etc. With respect to the catalyst, this can be, for example, a platinum, palladium or rhodium catalyst which can be supported on a suitable carrier material. Palladium-on-charcoal is the preferred catalyst. The temperature and pressure are not critical, although for convenience the catalytic hydrogenation is preferably carried out at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure.
Compounds of formula I can be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable salts by treatment with bases and basic compounds of formula I can be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable salts by treatment with acids. Such treatments can be carried out in a conventional manner.
The acids of formula II which are used as starting materials in embodiment (a) of the process are novel and form a further object of the present invention.
The acids of formula II can be prepared, for example, as illustrated in the following Reaction Scheme in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, m and n have the significance given earlier, Bz represents benzyl and tBu represents tert-butyl: ##STR7##
Having regard to the foregoing Reaction Scheme, the individual steps thereof can be carried out according to methods known per se. Thus, in the first step, an amino acid of formula V, which can be obtained according to the procedure described by Chenault H. K, Dahmer J. and Whitesides G. M., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111, 6354-6364, is converted by treatment with sodium nitrite in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid into a hydroxy acid of formula VI which is subsequently reacted with benzyl bromide in the presence of an organic base, e.g. a trialkylamine such as triethylamine, into a corresponding benzyl ester of formula VII. The latter is then activated, e.g. by reaction with trifluoromethanesulphonic anhydride, and treated with benzyl tert-butyl malonate in the presence of a strong base, e.g. an alkali metal hydride such as sodium hydride, to give a compound of formula VIII. Treatment of the latter with a strong base, e.g. an alkali metal hydride such as sodium hydride, and reaction with a compound of formula IX yields a dibenzyl tert-butyl butanetricarboxylate of formula X which is then debenzylated by catalytic hydrogenation, e.g. in the presence of a palladium catalyst such as palladium-on-charcoal, to give a tert-butyl dihydrogen butanetricarboxylate of formula XI. Decarboxylation of this compound, e.g. by heating in toluene with triethylamine, which may be carried out in situ, yields a tert-butyl hydrogen succinate of formula XII which is condensed with a cyclic amine of formula XIII, e.g. according to the acid chloride method or using 1-hydroxybentriazole in the presence of a condensation agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, to give a compound of formula XIV which is deprotected (e.g. by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid) to give an acid of formula II.
The compounds of formula IV which are used as starting materials in embodiment (b) of the process are novel and form a further object of the present invention.
The compounds of formula IV can be prepared, for example, by reacting an acid of formula II with O-benzylhydroxylamine. This reaction can be carried out in a known manner, for example in an inert organic solvent such as dichloromethane or dimethylformamide using 1-hydroxybenzotriazole in the presence of a condensation agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride.
The remaining compounds which are used as intermediates or reactants in the manufacture of the compounds of formula I are known compounds or analogues of known compounds which can be prepared in a similar manner to the known compounds.
As mentioned earlier, the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are collagenase inhibitors. The in vitro collagenase inhibiting activity of the present compounds and salts can be demonstrated by known means using collagenase obtained from a culture of human synovial fibroblasts according to the method of Dayer J-M et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1976), 73 945, following activation of the pro-collagenase in the conditioned medium by treatment with trypsin. Collagenase activity can be measured using .sup.14 C-acetylated collagen type I from rat tail tendons as the substrate and employing the microtitre plate assay method of Johnson-Wint, B, Anal. Biochem. (1980), 104, 175. The IC.sub.50 measured by this assay is a measure of the collagenase inhibiting activity and is that concentration of a compound or salt of the present invention in the enzyme digestion which reduces substrate cleavage and solubilization to 50% of that achieved by the enzyme alone. An IC.sub.50 measured means by this assay that the compound or salt has collagenase inhibiting activity. This is true regardless of the value of the IC.sub.50.
The results obtained in the foregoing test with representative compounds and salts of this invention are compiled in Table I hereinafter:
The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used as medicaments, for example in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. The pharmaceutical preparations can be administered orally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions. However, they can also be administered rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, or parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions.
For the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be formulated with therapeutically inert, inorganic or organic carriers. Lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts can be used, for example, as such carriers for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid and liquid polyols and the like. Depending on the nature of the active ingredient no carriers are, however, generally required in the case of soft gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for the manufacture of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, saccharose, invert sugar, glucose and the like. Suitable carriers for the manufacture of injection solutions are, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerine, vegetable oils and the like. Natural and hardened oils, waxes, fats, semi-liquid polyols and the like are suitable carriers for the manufacture of suppositories.
The pharmaceutical preparations can also contain preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorants, salts for adjustment of the osmotic pressure buffers coating agents or antioxidants.
Medicaments containing a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a therapeutically acceptable carrier as well as a process for the manufacture of such medicaments are also objects of the present invention. This process comprises mixing a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with a therapeutically inert carrier material and bringing the mixture into a galenical administration form.
As mentioned earlier, the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used in the control or prevention of illnesses, especially in the control or prevention of degenerative joint diseases or in the treatment of invasive tumours, atherosclerosis or multiple sclerosis. The dosage can vary within wide limits and will, of course, be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case. In general, in the case of administration to adults, a daily dosage of from about 5 mg to about 30 mg, preferably from about 10 mg to about 15 mg, should be appropriate, although the upper limit may be exceeded when this is found to be expedient. The daily dosage can be administered as a single dosage or in divided dosages.
The following Examples illustrate the present invention in more detail. In these Examples all temperatures are given in degrees Celsius.

Soc. 1989, 111, 6354-6364) in 50 ml of water containing 4.05 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid was warmed to 45.degree.. A solution of 10.5 g of sodium nitrite in 20 ml of water was added dropwise over 30 minutes. The solution was stirred at 45.degree. for 4 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The solution was extracted with three 50 ml portions of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with water and dried over anhydrous 30 magnesium sulphate.
