Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to novel substituted indole
compounds that are antagonists of alpha V (.alpha.v) integrins, for
example .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 and .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5
integrins, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and
pharmaceutical compositions thereof.
[0003] 2. Related Art
[0004] Integrins are cell surface glycoprotein receptors which bind
extracellular matrix proteins and mediate cell-cell and
cell-extracellular matrix interactions (generally referred to as
cell adhesion events) (Hynes, R. O., Cell 69:11-25 (1992)). These
receptors are composed of noncovalently associated alpha (.alpha.)
and beta (.beta.) chains which combine to give a variety of
heterodimeric proteins with distinct cellular and adhesive
specificities (Albeda, S. M., Lab. Invest. 68:4-14 (1993)). Recent
studies have implicated integrins in the regulation of cellular
adhesion, migration, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis and gene
expression (Albeda, S. M., Lab. Invest. 68:4-14 (1993); Juliano,
R., Cancer Met. Rev. 13:25-30 (1994); Ruoslahti, E. and Reed, J.
C., Cell 77:477-478 (1994); and Ruoslahti, E. and Giancotti, F. G.,
Cancer Cells 1:119-126 (1989)).
[0005] One member of the integrin family which has been shown to
play a significant role in a number of pathological conditions is
the integrin .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3, or vitronectin receptor
(Brooks, P. C., DN&P 10(8):456-461 (1997)). This integrin binds
a variety of extracellular matrix components and other ligands,
including fibrin, fibrinogen, fibronectin, vitronectin, laminin,
thrombospondin, and proteolyzed or denatured collagen (Cheresh, D.
A., Cancer Met. Rev. 10:3-10 (1991) and Shattil, S. J., Thromb.
Haemost. 74:149-155 (1995)). The two related .alpha.v integrins,
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 and .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.1 (also
vitronectin receptors), are more specific and bind vitronectin
(.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5) or fibronectin and vitronectin
(.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.1) (Horton, M., Int. J. Exp. Pathol.
71:741-759 (1990)). .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 and the other
integrins recognize and bind to their ligands through the
tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp ("RGD") (Cheresh, D. A., Cancer
Met. Rev. 10:3-10 (1991) and Shattil, S. J., Thromb. Haemost.
74:149-155 (1995)) found within all the ligands mentioned
above.
[0006] The .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 integrin has been implicated
in a number of pathological processes and conditions, including
metastasis and tumor growth, pathological angiogenesis, and
restenosis. For example, several studies have clearly implicated
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 in the metastatic cascade (Cheresh, D.
A., Cancer Met. Rev. 10:3-10 (1991); Nip, J. et al., J. Clin.
Invest. 95:2096-2103 (1995); and Yun, Z., et al., Cancer Res.
56:3101-3111 (1996)). Vertically invasive lesions in melanomas are
also commonly associated with high levels of
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3, whereas horizontally growing noninvasive
lesions have little if any .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 (Albeda, S.
M., et al., Cancer Res. 50:6757-6764 (1990)). Moreover, Brooks et
al. (in Cell 79:1157-1164 (1994)) have demonstrated that systemic
administration of .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 antagonists disrupts
ongoing angiogenesis on chick chorioallantoic membrane ("CAM"),
leading to the rapid regression of histologically distinct human
tumors transplanted onto the CAM. These results indicate that
antagonists of .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 may provide a therapeutic
approach for the treatment of neoplasia (solid tumor growth).
[0007] .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 has also been implicated in
angiogenesis, which is the development of new vessels from
preexisting vessels, a process that plays a significant role in a
variety of normal and pathological biological events. It has been
demonstrated that .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 is up-regulated in
actively proliferating blood vessels undergoing angiogenesis during
wound healing as well as in solid tumor growth. Also, antagonists
of .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 have been shown to significantly
inhibit angiogenesis induced by cytokines and solid tumor fragments
(Brooks, P. C., et al., Science 264:569-571 (1994); Enenstein, J.
and Kramer, R. H., J. Invest. Dermatol. 103:381-386 (1994);
Gladson, C. L., J. Neuropathol. Exp. Neurol 55:1143-1149 (1996);
Okada, Y., et al., Amer. J. Pathol. 149:37-44 (1996); and Brooks,
P. C., et al., J. Clin. Invest. 96:1815-1822 (1995)). Such
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 antagonists would be useful for treating
conditions that are associated with pathological angiogenesis, such
as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic retinopathy, macular
degeneration, and psoriasis (Nicosia, R. F. and Madri, J. A., Amer.
J. Pathol. 128:78-90 (1987); Boudreau, N. and Rabinovitch, M., Lab.
Invest. 64:187-99 (1991); and Brooks, P. C., Cancer Met. Rev.
15:187-194 (1996)).
[0008] There is also evidence that .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 plays
a role in neointimal hyperplasia after angioplasty and restenosis.
For example, peptide antagonists and monoclonal antibodies directed
to both .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 and the platelet receptor
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 have been shown to inhibit neointimal
hyperplasia in vivo (Choi, E. T., et al., J. Vasc. Surg. 19:125-134
(1994); and Topol, E. J., et al., Lancet 343:881-886 (1994)), and
recent clinical trials with a monoclonal antibody directed to both
.alpha.II.sub.b.beta..sub.3 and .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 have
resulted in significant reduction in restenosis, providing clinical
evidence of the therapeutic utility of .beta.3 antagonists (Topol,
E. J., et al., Lancet 343:881-886 (1994)).
[0009] It has also been reported that .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 is
the major integrin on osteoclasts responsible for attachment to
bone. Osteoclasts cause bone resorption. When bone resorbing
activity exceeds bone forming activity, the result is osteoporosis,
a condition which leads to an increased number of bone fractures,
incapacitation and increased mortality. Antagonists of
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 have been shown to be potent antagonists
of osteoclastic activity both in vitro (Sato, M., et al., J. Cell
Biol. 111:1713-1723 (1990)) and in vivo (Fisher, J. E., et al.,
Endocrinology 132:1411-1413 (1993)).
[0010] Lastly, White (in Current Biology 3(9):596-599 (1993)) has
reported that adenovirus uses .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 for
entering host cells. The .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 integrin appears
to be required for endocytosis of the virus particle and may be
required for penetration of the viral genome into the host cell
cytoplasm. Thus compounds which inhibit .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3
could be useful as antiviral agents.
[0011] The .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 integrin has been implicated
in pathological processes as well. Friedlander et al. have
demonstrated that a monoclonal antibody for
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 can inhibit VEGF-induced angiogenesis in
rabbit cornea and chick chorioallantoic membrane, indicating that
the .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 integrin plays a role in mediating
growth factor-induced angiogenesis (Friedlander, M. C., et al.,
Science 270:1500-1502 (1995)). Compounds that act as
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 antagonists could be used to inhibit
pathological angiogenesis in tissues of the body, including ocular
tissue undergoing neovascularization, inflamed tissue, solid
tumors, metastases, or tissues undergoing restenosis.
[0012] Discovery of the involvement of .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3
and .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 in such processes and pathological
conditions has led to an interest in these integrins as potential
therapeutic targets, as suggested in the preceding paragraphs. A
number of specific antagonists of .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 and
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 that can block the activity of these
integrins have been developed. One major group of such antagonists
includes nonpeptide mimetics and organic-type compounds. For
example, a number of organic non-peptidic mimetics have been
developed that appear to inhibit tumor cell adhesion to a number of
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 ligands, including vitronectin,
fibronectin, and fibrinogen (Greenspoon, N., et al., Biochemistry
32:1001-1008 (1993); Ku, T. W., et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc.
115:8861-8862 (1993); Hershkoviz, R., et al., Clin. Exp. Immunol.
95:270-276 (1994); and Hardan, L., et al., Int. J. Cancer
55:1023-1028 (1993)).
[0013] Additional organic compounds developed specifically as
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 or .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 integrin
antagonists or as compounds useful in the treatment of
.alpha.v-mediated conditions have been described in several recent
publications.

[0242] Scheme Ia, Ib, Ic, Id and Ie outline the synthetic steps to
produce compounds of the present invention where X is O and W is
##STR22## ##STR23##
[0243] In Scheme Ia, 2-chloropyridine N-oxide derivative 1 is
refluxed with aminoalkyl alcohol 2 in the presence of a base, such
as sodium bicarbonate, and a suitable solvent, such as tert-amyl
alcohol, to give compound 3. Compound 3 is then converted to
pyridinyl aminoalkyl alcohol 4 using standard reduction conditions.
Preferred conditions include treating compound 3 with cyclohexene
in the presence of a catalyst, such as palladium on carbon, and a
solvent, such as ethanol. ##STR24##
[0244] In Scheme Ib, a 2-amino-5-methylpyridine analogue 5 is first
protected with a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group using conditions
well known in art (Greene, T. W. and Wuts, P. G. M., Protective
Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2.sup.nd edition, John Wiley and Sons,
Inc., New York (1991)), followed by treatment with an alkyl halide,
such as iodomethane, in the presence of a base, such as sodium
hydride, and a solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or
dimethylformamide (DMF), to give compound 6. Converting compound 6
to compound 7 is accomplished by reacting compound 6 with a base,
such as lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), and diethyl carbonate in a
solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF). The Boc protecting group of
compound 7 is removed by standard procedures well known in the art
(Greene, T. W. and Wuts, P. G. M., supra), such as trifluoroacetic
acid in methylene chloride. The ester is then reduced by standard
conditions, such as lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) in
tetrahydrofuran (THF), to give compound 8. Alternatively, compound
7 can be treated with a reducing agent, such as lithium borohydride
in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran to give compound 9.
##STR25##
[0245] In Scheme Ic, Compound 10 (Miller, H.; Manley, P. J., PCT
Int. Appl. 2000, 40 pp. WO 00/33838) is treated with a reducing
agent such as lithium borohydride, in a solvent such as
tetrahydrofuran, to give compound 11. ##STR26##
[0246] In Scheme 1d, 3-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-nitropyridine derivative
12a is reduced under suitable conditions, such as hydrogenation in
the presence of palladium catalyst, with a solvent, such as
ethanol, to give compound 12b. Reaction of compound 12b (L.
Savelon, et. al., Biorganic and Medicinal Chemistry, 6, 133,
(1998)) with 2-haloacid chloride 12c, such as chloroacetyl
chloride, in the presence of base, such as sodium bicarbonate, in
suitable solvents, such as water and 2-butanone, gives compound 13.
Reduction of compound 13 with suitable reagent, such as lithium
aluminum hydride, in a suitable solvent, such as THF, gives
compound 14. Compound 14 is protected using suitable conditions, to
introduce a protecting group, such as Boc, to give compound 15
(Greene, T. W. and Wuts, P. G. M., Protective Groups in Organic
Synthesis, 2.sup.nd edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York
(1991)). Compound 15 is alkylated under suitable conditions, such
as deprotonation with base, such as LDA, followed by reaction with
alkylating reagent, such as dialkylcarbonate, to produce compound
16. Reduction of compound 16 is achieved with suitable reducing
reagent, such as lithium borohydride in a solvent such as
tetrahydrofuran, to give compound 17. ##STR27##
[0247] In Scheme Ie, the protected indole 18 (P is protecting
group), such as 5-benzyloxyindole, is reacted with a base, such as
sodium hydride, and haloalkylcarboxyl ester 19, in a suitable
solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), to generate compound
20. The protecting group is removed by conditions well known in the
art (Greene, T. W. and Wuts, P. G. M., supra), to give compound 21.
For example, deprotection of benzyl ether is achieved through
catalytic hydrogenation using palladium on carbon as a catalyst in
a solvent, such as ethanol or tetrahydrofuran. Compound 21 is
coupled to compounds 4 using a Mitsunobu coupling procedure
(Mitsunobu, O., Synthesis, 1 (1981)) to give compound 22. Preferred
coupling conditions include using a trialkylphosphine or
triarylphosphine, such as triphenylphosphine or
tri-n-butylphosphine, in a suitable solvent, such as
tetrahydrofuran or methylene chloride, and an azodicarbonyl
reagent, such as diethyl azodicarboxylate, diisopropyl

[0268] Compounds of the present invention can be tested for the
ability to inhibit or antagonize .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 or
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 cell surface receptors by assays known to
those of ordinary skill in the art. Such assays are described in
Example 58 herein.
[0269] The present invention also provides a method of treating
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 integrin- or .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5
integrin-mediated conditions by selectively inhibiting or
antagonizing .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 and
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 cell surface receptors, which method
comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a
compound selected from the class of compounds depicted by Formula
IV, wherein one or more compounds of Formula IV is administered in
association with one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable
carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants and if desired other
active ingredients.
[0270] More specifically, the present invention provides a method
for inhibition of the .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 cell surface
receptor. Most preferably, the present invention provides a method
for inhibiting bone resorption, treating osteoporosis, inhibiting
humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, treating Paget=s disease,
inhibiting tumor metastasis, inhibiting neoplasia (solid tumor
growth), inhibiting angiogenesis including tumor angiogenesis,
treating diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration,
retinopathy of prematurity and other neo-vascular eye diseases,
inhibiting arthritis, psoriasis and periodontal disease, and
inhibiting smooth muscle cell migration including neointimal
hyperplasia and restenosis.
[0271] The present invention also provides a method for inhibition
of the .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 cell surface receptor. Most
preferably, the present invention provides a method for inhibiting
angiogenesis associated with pathological conditions such as
inflammatory disorders such as immune and non-immune inflammation,
chronic articular rheumatism and psoriasis, disorders associated
with inappropriate or inopportune invasion of vessels such as
restenosis, capillary proliferation in atherosclerotic plaques and
osteoporosis, and cancer associated disorders, such as solid
tumors, solid tumor metastases, angiofibromas, retrolental
fibroplasia, hemangiomas, Kaposi sarcoma and similar cancers which
require neovascularization to support tumor growth. The present
invention also provides a method for treating eye diseases
characterized by angiogenesis, such as diabetic retinopathy,
age-related macular degeneration, presumed ocular histoplasmosis,
retinopathy of prematurity, and neovascular glaucoma.
[0272] The compounds of the present invention are useful in
treating cancer, including tumor growth, metastasis and
angiogenesis. For example, compounds of the present invention can
be employed to treat breast cancer and prostate cancer.
[0273] The compounds of the present invention are also useful in
the treatment of sickle cell anemia. .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3
integrin has recently been implicated in the mechanism of adhesion
of sickled red blood cells (RBCs) to vascular structures within the
circulatory system of those suffering from sickle cell anemia.
Adhesion of RBC=s is responsible for the reoccurring episodes of
painful vasocclusive crisis and multiple organ damage. (Kaul et
al., Blood 95(2):368-373 (2000)). Monoclonal antibodies which bind
to .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 have been shown to inhibit the
adhesion of sickled RBCs in the ex vivo mesocecum vasculature of
the rat. By blocking .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3 integrin which
assists in adhesion of sickled cells to vascular components, a
reduction in the harmful affects of sickle cell anemia is
realized.
[0274] The compounds of the present invention are also useful in
the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) related disorders.
Treatment of such CNS related disorders includes, but is not
limited to: treating or preventing neuronal loss associated with
stroke, ischemia, CNS trauma, hypoglycemia, and surgery, as well as
treating neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease,
and Parkinson's disease, treating or preventing the adverse
consequences of the overstimulation of the excitatory amino acids,
as well as treating schizophrenia, anxiety, convulsions, chronic
pain, psychosis, including anesthesia, and preventing opiate
tolerance.
[0275] Studies have shown that there is a correlation between the
activity of .A-inverted.4 integrin and the establishment of
inflammatory lesions in the CNS. Brocke, S. et al., Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 96:6896-6901 (1999). Specifically, antibodies
directed against CD44 and .A-inverted.4 integrin could interfere in
several ways with the establishment of inflammatory lesions in the
CNS and thus prevent experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(EAE), an inflammatory disease of the CNS similar to multiple
sclerosis. Brocke at 6899.
[0276] Relton and co-workers have also shown that inhibition of
.A-inverted.4 integrin activity protects the brain against ischemic
brain injury, thereby implicating .A-inverted.4 integrin as a
factor in acute brain injury. Relton, et al., Stroke 32(1):199-205
(2001).
[0277] The compounds of the present invention may be administered
in an effective amount within the dosage range of about 0.01 mg/kg
to about 300 mg/kg, preferably between 1.0 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg body
weight. Compounds of the present invention may be administered in a
single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in
divided doses of two, three or four times daily.
[0278] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can
be administered to any animal that can experience the beneficial
effects of the compounds of the invention. Foremost among such
animals are humans, although the invention is not intended to be so
limited.
[0279] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can
be administered by any means that achieve their intended purpose.
For example, administration can be by parenteral, subcutaneous,
intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, transdermal, buccal,
or ocular routes. Alternatively, or concurrently, administration
can be by the oral route. The dosage administered will be dependent
upon the age, health, and weight of the recipient, kind of
concurrent treatment, if any, frequency of treatment, and the
nature of the effect desired.
[0280] In addition to the pharmacologically active compounds, the
pharmaceutical preparations of the compounds can contain suitable
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and
auxiliaries that facilitate processing of the active compounds into
preparations that can be used pharmaceutically. The pharmaceutical
preparations of the present invention are manufactured in a manner
that is, itself, known, for example, by means of conventional
mixing, granulating, dragee-making, dissolving, or lyophilizing
processes. Thus, pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be
obtained by combining the active compounds with solid excipients,
optionally grinding the resulting mixture and processing the
mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired
or necessary, to obtain tablets or dragee cores.
[0281] Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as
saccharides, for example, lactose or sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol,
cellulose preparations and/or calcium phosphates, for example,
tricalcium phosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, as well as
binders, such as starch paste, using, for example, maize starch,
wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, tragacanth,
methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium
carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone. If desired,
disintegrating agents can be added, such as the above-mentioned
starches and also carboxymethyl-starch, cross-linked polyvinyl
pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as
sodium alginate. Auxiliaries are, above all, flow-regulating agents
and lubricants, for example silica, talc, stearic acid or salts
thereof, such as magnesium stearate or calcium stearate, and/or
polyethylene glycol. Dragee cores are provided with suitable
coatings, that, if desired, are resistant to gastric juices. For
this purpose, concentrated saccharide solutions can be used, which
may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone,
polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions and
suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. In order to produce
coatings resistant to gastric juices, solutions of suitable
cellulose preparations, such as acetylcellulose phthalate or
hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, are used. Dye stuffs or
pigments can be added to the tablets or dragee coatings, for
example, for identification or in order to characterize
combinations of active compound doses.
[0282] Other pharmaceutical preparations that can be used orally
include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed
capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer such as glycerol or
sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active compounds in
the form of granules that may be mixed with fillers such as
lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc
or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft
capsules, the active compounds are preferably dissolved or
suspended in suitable liquids such as fatty oils or liquid
paraffin. In addition, stabilizers may be added.
[0283] Suitable formulations for parenteral administration include
aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form,
for example water-soluble salts and alkaline solutions. Alkaline
salts can include ammonium salts prepared, for example, with Tris,
choline hydroxide, bis-Tris propane, N-methylglucamine, or
arginine. In addition, suspensions of the active compounds as
appropriate oily injection suspensions can be administered.
Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils, for
example, sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, for example,
ethyl oleate or triglycerides or polyethylene glycol-400 (the
compounds are soluble in PEG-400). Aqueous injection suspensions
can contain substances that increase the viscosity of the
suspension, for example sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol,
and/or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain
stabilizers.
[0284] The compounds of the present invention may be administered
to the eye in animals and humans as a drop, or within ointments,
gels, liposomes, or biocompatible polymer discs, pellets or carried
within contact lenses. The intraocular composition may also contain
a physiologically compatible ophthalmic vehicle as those skilled in
the art can select using conventional criteria. The vehicles may be
selected from the known ophthalmic vehicles which include but are
not limited to water, polyethers such polyethylene glycol 400,
polyvinyls such as polyvinyl alcohol, povidone, cellulose
derivatives such as carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose and
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, petroleumn derivatives such as
mineral oil and white petrolatum, animal fats such as lanolin,
vegetable fats such as peanut oil, polymers of acrylic acid such as
carboxylpolymethylene gel, polysaccharides such as dextrans and
glycosaminoglycans such as sodium chloride and potassium, chloride,
zinc chloride and buffer such as sodium bicarbonate or sodium
lactate. High molecular weight molecules can also be used.
Physiologically compatible preservatives which do not inactivate
the compounds of the present invention in the composition include
alcohols such as chlorobutanol, benzalknonium chloride and EDTA, or
any other appropriate preservative known to those skilled in the
art.
[0285] The following examples are illustrative, but not limiting,
of the method and compositions of the present invention. Other
suitable modifications and adaptations of the variety of conditions
and parameters normally encountered and obvious to those skilled in
the art are within the spirit and scope of the invention.

a) 3-Naphthalen-2-yl-3-oxo-propionic acid ethyl ester
[0496] Diethylcarbonate (3.90 mL, 33.0 mmol) was added to a slurry
of sodium hydride (1.30 g, 33.0 mmol) in toluene (100 mL) at room
temperature under Ar. A solution of 2-acetophenone (5.00 g, 29.0
mmol) in toluene (30 mL) was added immediately and the mixture was
heated at reflux for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature,
the mixture was poured over ice/water and extracted with ethyl
acetate. The organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and
the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product
was purified over silica (2.5% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give the

g, 12 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (40 mL). After the addition was
complete, triethylamine (4.0 mL, 29 mmol) was added and the
reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 1 hr. The solution was
cooled to room temperature, washed with water, and dried
(MgSO.sub.4). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and
the product was purified via column chromatography with silica

Enzyme Research Laboratories MabGP2b3a) was incubated at
37.quadrature.C for 1 hr. After washing (5 times with PBST buffer),
100 .mu.L/well of goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated to horseradish
peroxidase (Kirkegaard & Perry 14-23-06) was incubated at
37.degree. C. for 1 hr (25 ng/mL in PBST buffer), followed by a
6-fold PBST buffer wash. The plate was developed by adding 100
.mu.L/well of 0.67 mg o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride per mL of
0.012% H.sub.2O.sub.2, 22 mM sodium citrate, 50 mM sodium
phosphate, pH 5.0 at room temperature. The reaction was stopped
with 50 .mu.L/well of 2M H.sub.2SO.sub.4, and the absorbence at 492
nm was recorded. Percent (%) inhibition was calculated from the
average of three separate determinations relative to buffer
controls (no test compound added), and a four parameter fit
(Marquardt, D. W., J. Soc. Indust. Appl Math. 11:431-441 (1963))
was used to estimate the half maximal inhibition concentration
(IC.sub.50).
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3-Vitronectin Assay
[0662] The assay was based on the method of Niiya (Niiya, K., et
al., Blood 70:475-483 (1987)). Costar 9018 flat-bottom 96-well
ELISA plates were coated overnight at room temperature with 100
.mu.L/well of 0.4 .mu.g/mL human .alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3
(Chemicon CC1019) in TS buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl,
1 mM CaCl.sub.2, 1 mM MgCl.sub.2, 1 mM MnCl.sub.2). All subsequent
steps were performed at room temperature. Plates were blocked for 2
hr with 150 .mu.L/well of TS buffer containing 1% BSA (TSB buffer),
and washed 3 times with 200 .mu.L/well of PBST buffer. Controls or
test compound (0.0001-20.0 .mu.M) were mixed with 1 .mu.g/mL of
human vitronectin (Chemicon CC080) that had been biotinylated
in-house with sulfo-NHS-LC-LC-biotin (Pierce 21338, 20:1 molar
ratio), and 100 .mu.L/well of these solutions (in TSB buffer) were
incubated for 2 hr. The plate was then washed 5 times with PBST
buffer, and 100 .mu.L/well of 0.25 .mu.g/mL NeutrAvidin-horseradish
peroxidase conjugate (Pierce 31001) in TSB buffer was incubated for
1 hr. Following a 5-fold PBST buffer wash, the plate was developed
and results were calculated as described for the fibrinogen-IIbIIIa
assay. IC.sub.50 values for inhibition of the
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3-vitronectin interaction by other
compounds of the invention are presented in Table 1. TABLE-US-00001

.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5-Vitronectin Assay
[0663] The assay is similar to the
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.3-vitronectin assay. Costar 9018
flat-bottom 96-well ELISA plates were coated overnight at room
temperature with 100 .mu.L/well of 1 .mu.g/mL human
.alpha..sub.v.beta..sub.5 (Chemicon CC1025) in TS buffer. All
subsequent steps were preformed at room temperature. Plates were
blocked for 2 hr at 30.quadrature.C with 150 .mu.L/well of TSB
buffer, and washed 3 times with 200 .mu.L/well of PBST buffer.
Controls or test compound (0.0001-20 .mu.M) were mixed with 1
.mu.g/mL of human vitronectin (Chemicon CC080) that had been
biotinylated in-house with sulfo-NHS-LC-LC-biotin (Pierce 21338,
20:1 molar ratio), and 100 .mu.L/well of these solutions (in TSB
buffer) were incubated for 2 hr. The plate was then washed 5 times
with PBST buffer, and 100 .mu.L/well of 0.25 .mu.g/mL.
NeutraAvidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (Pierce 31001) in TSB
buffer was incubated at 30.degree. C. for 1 hr. Following a 5-fold
PBST buffer wash, the plate was developed and results were
calculated as described for the fibrinogen-IIbIIIa assay.
