PROCESS ASPECTS
In general the starting materials of this invention are known compounds which are in the E,E configuration. The novel compounds of this invention are the Z,Z, Z,E and E,Z isomers of the starting materials. ##STR6## wherein R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and X are as previously defined. Starting materials wherein X is O, S, SO, SO.sub.2 and NR.sub.6 can be prepared via the methods in U.S. Pat. No. 4,325,958 and starting materials wherein X is (CHR.sub.7).sub.n may be prepared via the methods of Wagner, et al. --Pharmazie, Vol. 32, Pages 141-145 (1977) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,341,797.
In general the novel compounds of the invention are prepared as follows:
6.24 mmol of the appropriate cycloketone compound e.g. cycloheptanone is added to a suspension of 12.24 mmol of the appropriate aldehyde in 12 ml of 85% phosphoric acid. The mixture is heated for 3 h at 100.degree. C., then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture is diluted with methanol or a methanol-ether mixture, and the product that separates is filtered, and washed with methanol/ether (1:1). The crude product is suspended in methanol and treated with anhydrous HCl gas for 5 min. The solution is allowed to cool and the product is precipitated by allowing to stand or by the addition of ether to afford the EE isomer as the dihydrochloride salt.
0.40 g of the above compound is dissolved in methanol (250 mL) and irradiated with a medium pressure, quartz, mercury-vapor lamp for 3 h. The methanol is removed with a rotoevaporator, and the residue purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC, eluting with a gradient of acetonitrile (0.1% TFA)/water (0.1% TFA). In this way, all possible isomers can be separated, and lyophilization affords the isomers as their ditrifluoroacetate salts.
METHOD-OF-USE AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION ASPECTS
The compounds of this invention are potent and selective inhibitors of the coagulation enzyme Factor Xa and thus would be useful therapeutic agents, primarily as orally active anticoagulants directed against a host of thrombotic diseases.
In a clinical setting there are a number of thrombotic diseases in clinical situations in which a safe and effective anticoagulant would be useful. For instance, prophylaxis for the long term after a myocardial infarct (MI); prophylaxis following a stroke; prophylaxis for the short term risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following orthopedic surgery (e.g., knee, hip); prophylaxis of selected patients following transient ischemia attack (TIA), prophylaxis following surgical intervention such as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). An oral anti-coagulant with reliable efficacy, safety and lack of side effects would allow aggressive treatment of thrombotic complications associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), diabetes, multiple myeloma, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) associated with septic shock, purpura fulminans associated with infection, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), unstable angina, and thrombotic complications associated with aortic valve or vascular prosthesis.
Today, the treatment of the above referenced thrombotic diseases is pretty well limited to the clinical use of coumarins (e.g. warfarin) and heparin --(more recently low molecular weight fractions (LMWF) of the latter). The coumarins are orally effective but take 48 hours to become so. Dosing varies greatly from patient to patient with titration of the patient being mandatory in order to avoid a bleeding state. Heparin and its LMWF show great interpatient variability plus having the marked disadvantage of having to be given parenterally which necessitates frequent and painful injections. The types of improvements that may be made over the above agents is predictability of clinical effect, rapidity of onset of action and finally and most importantly oral availability. This last attribute avoids injections, encourages self-administration and improves efficacy.
The enzyme that converts prothrombin to thrombin, a causative agent in thrombosis, is Factor Xa. The compounds of the present invention have been shown to be potent and selective inhibitors of Factor Xa, and therefore would be useful in the treatment of thrombotic diseases.
The compounds of the invention wherein X is O, S, SO, SO.sub.2 or NR.sub.8 are known - but in their E,E form and as anti-inflammatory agents. The parents of the compounds of this invention wherein X is (CHR.sub.7).sub.n with an EE configuration are known and as Factor Xa inhibitors. What could not be foreseen was the surprisingly and inordinate differences, in activity between the EE and their isomeric Z,Z, Z,E and E,Z moieties.
There are a number of tests which illustrate the activity of the compounds of this invention. Due to the light sensitivity of the test Compounds, experiments were performed under minimally lighted conditions. The tests follow.
ASSAY OF FREE FACTOR XA AND THROMBIN
Activity of Factor Xa and thrombin (IIa) were determined as the initial rate of cleavage of peptide p-nitroanilide by the enzymes. Assays were performed in the presence or absence of inhibitors in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM CaCl.sub.2, 0.1% polyethylene glycol 6000, 164 .mu.M S-2222, 3 nM HFXa (or 360 .mu.M S-222, 3 nM rat FXa) or 300 .mu.M S2302 and 20 nM thrombin. Reaction rate was measured at 405 nM at room temperature for 5 minutes at 10 seconds intervals. Initial rate of the first 2 minutes was used for calculation of the enzyme activities. IC.sub.50 of the inhibitors was determined with the log-logit plots and K.sub.i for the competitive inhibitors was obtained by dividing the IC.sub.50 by (1+[S]K.sub.m).
The results are reported in the following Table I:
COAGULATION ASSAYS
Two coagulation assays, the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and the prothrombin time (PT), were used to evaluate the compounds. An Electra 900C coagulometer with the software package was used. The Actin Reagent (APTT) or Rabbit Brain Thromboplastin (PT) is added to citrated plasma sample in equal volumes (100 .mu.L each) and allowed to incubate for 5 min. at 37.degree. C. 20 nM CaCl.sub.2 (100 .mu.L) is added and time to clot noted. Dilution series for compounds undergoing testing were made in human plasma prior to assay. The results follow in Table II:
IN VITRO PLASMA MATRIX EFFECT ON ANTI-FX ACTIVITY:
Compound stock solutions (10 mM in DMSO) were diluted in 100% rat plasma in a series of 1 to 3 dilutions in the following concentration ranges: (1) from 300 .mu.M to 1.23 .mu.M; (2) from 10 .mu.M to 0.041 .mu.M; (3) from 100 .mu.M to 0.412 .mu.M. After 30 minutes incubation (in dark) at room temperature, 20 .mu.L of diluted compounds (in rat plasma) were added in duplicate to a 96-well flat-bottom microtiter plate (Dynatech Laboratories, USA). Thirty microliter of assay buffer containing 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.5, 150 nM NaCl, and 0.1% polyethylene glycol 6000 was added to each sample well followed by 100 ul of 6 nM of human FXa (in assay buffer) (Enzyme Research Lab. USA). The plate was mixed in a plate shaker for about 30 seconds. The reaction was started by the addition of 50 ul of 656 uM of chromogenic substrate S2222 in assay buffer (Pharmacia Hepar Inc. USA). FXa activity was measured at 405 nM at room temperature for five minutes at 10 seconds interval in a THERMOmax microtiter plate reader (Molecular Devices). An internal standard was assayed in parallel as control. Initial rate as mOD/min was determined using OD readings in the first two minutes of the reaction. IC.sub.50 values were determined with a 4-parameter curve fit program provided by the Molecular Devices' software, SOFTmax 2.32. Ki values were then calculated with the following equation: Ki=IC.sub.50 /(1+[S]/Km). Km of S2222=237 uM under the present assay condition. Test results follow in Table III.
The foregoing test results illustrate the compounds of this invention to be potent and selective inhibitors of Factor Xa. As pointed out previously such inhibition would be useful in a variety of thrombotic diseases,
In general, the compounds of this invention may be administered orally which is preferred or parenterally if this is a necessary mode. The dosage of the compounds to be administered will be dependent on the age, weight, and sex of the subject and the disease to be treated. For oral formulation in solid form the compounds can be admixed with any number of suitable pharmaceutical diluents or carriers such as lactose, surcrose, starch powder, cellulose, calcium sulfate, sodium benzoate and the like. Such formulations can be compressed into tablets or can be encapsulated with gelatin capsules for convenient oral administration. The compounds could also be administered as a liquid for oral ingestions, as a solution or suspension with the necessary pharmaceutically inert/non-toxic carriers.
In certain disease states parenteral administration may be deemed a more desireable mode. For parenteral administration a compound of the invention can be formulated as an intramuscular or intravenous medicament but is not limited thereto. In certain treatments it may be desirable to administer a compound of the invention by an intravenous slow bolus in order to effect a rapid anti-coagulant effect. The normalized condition of the subject could then be maintained by oral administration of the compound.
The invention described hereinabove is illustrated below in the Examples which, however, is not to be construed as limiting the invention.
