Benefits of technology

In general, the compounds of this invention incorporate a sulfonamido (NHSO2) or sulfinamido (NHSO) modified (N-substituted)oxamyl group as a dipeptide mimetic. The resulting compounds exhibit improved properties relative to their peptidic counterparts, for example, such as improved cell penetration or improved absorption and metabolic stability resulting in enhanced bioavailability.

Problems solved by technology

However, such inhibitors have been typically characterized by undesirable pharmacologic properties, such as poor oral absorption, poor stability and rapid metabolism.
These undesirable properties have hampered their development into effective drugs.

ASSAY FOR INHIBITION OF ICE / CED-3 PROTEASE FAMILY ACTIVITY

A. Determination of IC50 Values

Fluorescence enzyme assays detecting the activity of the compounds of Formula I utilizing the recombinant ICE and CPP32 enzymes are performed essentially according to Thomberry et al. (Nature 356:768:774 (1992)) and Nicholson et al. (Nature 376:37-43 (1995)) respectively, (herein incorporated by reference) in 96 well microtiter plates. Thesubstrate is Acetyl-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) for the ICE assay and Acetyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-amino-4-methylcoumarin for the CPP32, Mch2, Mch3 and Mch5 assays. Enzyme reactions are run in ICE buffer (25 mM HEPES, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% CHAPS, 10% sucrose, pH 7.5) containing 2 mM DTT at room temperature in duplicate. The assays are performed by mixing the following components: 50 μL ICE, Mch2, Mch5, CPP32 (18.8, 38, 8.1 and 0.153 nM concentrations, respectively) or Mch3 (1 unit) enzyme in ICE buffer containing either 8.0 (ICE, Mch2, Mch3, CPP32) or...

Compound No. 1 was made according to the following reaction scheme, the procedures for which are set forth below.

Bromomethylketone 2:

4-Methylmorpholine (0.76 mL, 6.9 mmol) was added to a solution of Fmoc-Asp(OBn)-OH (1) (2.05 g, 4.62 mmol) in 50 mL of dry THF at −10° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen, followed by the addition of isobutyl chloroformate (0.90 mL, 6.9 mmol), and the solution was stirred for 20 minutes. The resulting white precipitate was removed by filtration and the filtrate was cooled to 0° C. In a separate flask, 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (1.10 g, 7.44 mmol) was added to a vigorously stirred mixture of diethyl ether (14 mL) and 40% KOH (8 mL) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and the layers were allowed to separate. The ether layer was transferred via plastic pipette to the mixed anhydride in THF and the r...

Abstract

This invention is directed to novel oxamyl dipeptide ICE / ced-3 family inhibitor compounds having the following structure: wherein A, B, R, R1, R1′ p and q are as defined herein. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more of these compounds, as well as to the use of such compositions in the treatment of patients suffering inflammatory, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, for the prevention of ischemic injury, and for the preservation of organs that are to undergo a transplantation procedure.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to novel classes of compounds which are inhibitors of interleukin-1β converting enzyme and related proteases (“ICE / ced-3 family of cysteine proteases”), as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to methods of using such pharmaceutical compositions. 2. Description of the Related Art Interleukin 1 (“IL-1”) is a major pro-inflammatory and immunoregulatory protein that stimulates fibroblast differentiation and proliferation, the production of prostaglandins, collagenase and phospholipase by synovial cells and chondrocytes, basophil and eosinophil degranulation and neutrophil activation. Oppenheim, J. H. et al., Immunology Today 7:45-56 (1986). As such, it is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic and acute inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. IL-1 is predominantly produced by peripheral blood monocytes as part of the inflammatory response. Mosely, B. S. et al., Proc. Nat...
