Description of Related Art The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the major component of connective tissue which provides structural integrity, and promotes cell migration and differentiation. As part of these functions, extracellular matrix molecules such as fibronectin, collagen, laminin, von Willebrand factor, thrombospondin, fibrinogen, and tenascin have been shown to support adhesion of cells in vitro. This adhesive interaction is critical for a number of biological processes including hemostasis, thrombosis, wound healing, tumor metastasis, immunity and inflammation.

Fibronectin (FN) is the prototype ECM molecule. The major cell attachment site in the fibronectin molecule has been reproduced synthetically with the amino acid sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid, or RGD using single letter nomenclature. Peptides containing the RGD sequence which either inhibit or promote cell adhesion have been described (US Patent Nos. 4,589,881; 4,661,111; 4,517,686; 4,683,291; 4,578,079; 4,614,517; and 4,792,525). Changes in the peptide as small as the exchange of alanine for glycine or glutamic acid for aspartic acid, which constitute the addition of a single methyl or methylene group to the tripeptide, eliminates these activities (Pierschbacher et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

USA 81: 5985 (1984)). Recently, a second FN cell binding domain has been identified within the alternatively spliced region of the A chain of the molecule, known as the connecting segment 1 (CS-1). The most active cell-binding site within this alternatively spliced region is composed of 25 amino acids where the carboxy terminus contains the sequence

EILDVPST. The amino acid sequence EILDVPST forms a recognition motif on FN for cell surface receptors. (Wayner et al., J. Cell Biol. 109: 1321 (1989); Guan et al., Cell 60: 53 (1990)).

The receptors which recognize these sites on FN belong to a gene superfamily called integrins which consist of heterodimeric complexes of non-covalently associated alpha and beta subunits. A common P subunit combines with unique I subunits to form an adhesion receptor of defined specificity. To date, 8 P subunits have been identified which can dimerize with 16 distinct I subunits forming 22 distinct integrins. The pi subfamily, also known as the VLA family (Very Late Activation Antigens), binds to ECM molecules such as FN, collagen and laminin. For reviews, see, Hynes, Cell 48: 549 (1987); Hemler, Annu. Rev.

Immunol. 8: 365 (1990). Leukocyte interaction with FN at the two spatially separate binding domains is mediated by two distinct integrins. The RGD site is recognized by the integrin <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> a5ß"while, EILDV is recognized by cc4P, (Pytela et al., Cell 40: 191 (1985); Wayner et al., J.

Cell Biol. 109: 1321 (1989); Guan et al, Cell 60: 53 (1990)).

Vascular endothelial cells form the interface between blood and tissues and control the passage of leukocytes as well as plasma fluid into tissues. A variety of signals generated at the site of inflammation can activate both endothelial cells as well as circulating leukocytes so that they become more adhesive to one another. Following this initial adhesion the leukocytes migrate into the tissues to perform host defense functions. Several adhesion molecules have been identified which are involved in leukocyte-endothelial interactions.

In the ß, subfamily, in addition to binding to fibronectin, 0C4ß interacts with a cytokine inducible protein on endothelial cells termed vascular cell adhesion molecule <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> (VCAM). Further involved in the leukocyte-endothelial adhesion process is the ß2 integrin<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> subfamily. ß2 integrins include CDlla/CD18, CDllb/CD18, and CDllc/CD18. In<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> addition, the ß7 subunit associates with a4 to form a unique 0 (4ß, heterodimer which binds to FN, to VCAM, and to Mucosal Addressin Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (MAdCAM) (Ruegg et <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> al, J. Cell. Biol. 117: 179 (1992); Andrew et al., J Immunol. 153: 3847 (1994); Briskin et al.,<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> Nature 363: 461 (1993); Shyjan et al, J Immunol. 156: 2851 (1996)). OC4 integrins are widely expressed on different cell types including hematopoietic progenitors, lymphocytes, natural

killer cells, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and mast cells (Helmer, M. E., Annu. Rev.

Immunol. 8: 365 (1990)). Other molecules on endothelial cells which bind to the leukocytes include ICAM-1, ICAM-2, E-selectin and P-selectin (Carlos and Harlan, Immunol. Rev.

114: 1 (1990); Osborn, L., Cell 62: 3 (1990); Springer T., Nature 346: 425 (1990); Geng et al., Nature 347: 757 (1990); Stoolman, Cell 56 : 907 (1989)).

A number of in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that a4ß, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. Monoclonal antibodies directed against a4 have been tested in a variety of disease models. Anti-a4 antibodies block adhesion of lymphocytes to synovial endothelial cells; this adhesion plays a potential role in rheumatoid arthritis (van <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> Dinther-Janssen et al, J Immunol. 147: 4207 (1991)). a4 has also been implicated with respect to rheumatoid arthritis in separate studies (Laffon et al, J. Clin. Invest. 88: 546 (1991); <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> Morales-Ducret et al, J Immunol. 149: 1424 (1992)). A significant number of studies have evaluated the role of a4 in allergy and asthma. For example, monoclonal antibodies to a4 block adhesion of basophils and eosinophils to cytokine activated endothelial cells (Walsh et al, J. Immunol. 146: 3419 (1991); Bochner et al, J. Exp. Med. 173: 1553 (1991)).

Monoclonal antibodies to a4 were also effective in several lung antigen challenge models <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> (Abraham et al, J Clin. Invest. 93: 776 (1994); Weg et al, J Exp. Med 177: 561 (1993)).

The cotton-top tamarin, which experiences spontaneous chronic colitis, showed a significant <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> attenuation of their colitis when anti-a4 antibody was administered (Podolsky et al, J Clin.

Invest. 92: 372 (1993); Bell et al, J. Immunol. 151: 4790 (1993)). In a rat and mouse model, autoimmune encephalomyelitis was blocked by anti-a4 antibody (Yednock et al, Nature 356: 63 (1992); Baron et al, J. Exp. Med. 177: 57 (1993)). Anti-a4 monoclonal antibodies also inhibit insulitis and delay the onset of diabetes in the non-obese diabetic mouse (Baron et al, J. Clin. Invest. 93: 1700 (1994); Yang et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 10494 (1993); Burkly et al, Diabetes 43: 529 (1994)). a4 is also implicated in atherosclerosis due to its endothelial expression during atherogenesis (Cybulsky et al, Science 251: 788 (1991)).

The migration of leukocytes to an inflammatory site can also be blocked by anti-a4 antibodies. In addition to the blocking of migration, inhibitors of leukocyte endothelial adhesion may block the costimulatory signals mediated by integrins and thus inhibit overproduction of inflammatory cytokines. In a separate set of experiments not using anti-a4

antibodies, the peptides GRDGSP or EILDV were tested against contact hypersensitivity response. The contact hypersensitivity response was found to be blocked by GRDGSP or EILDV suggesting that both a4ß, and a ; p, are involved in this inflammatory response.

Other ailments which may involve a4 (3,-mediated conditions include the inflammatory disorders rheumatoid arthritis, allergic disorders, asthma, spontaneous chronic colitis, insulitis, contact hypersensitivity response, atherosclerosis and autoimmune encephalomyelitis. These studies illustrate that small molecules that are potent inhibitors of ap, mediated adhesion to either VCAM-1 or CS-1 may be used as a form of treatment in numerous inflammatory diseases. However, these inflammatory conditions could be expanded to include adult respiratory distress syndrome, AIDS, cardiovascular diseases, thrombosis or harmful platelet aggregation, reocclusion following thrombolysis, allograft rejection, reperfusion injury, psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis and other skin inflammatory diseases, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis, neoplastic diseases including metastasis of neoplastic or cancerous growth, wound healing enhancement, treatment of certain eye diseases such as detaching retina, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), inflammatory and immunoinflammatory conditions including ophthalmic inflammatory conditions and inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis, regional enteritis and other autoimmune diseases. Accordingly, a compound which could inhibit these conditions is desirable.

In the above formula (I) the absolute stereochemistry for the bond leading to RS is shown, however the absolute stereochemistry has not been shown for all examples which follow. It is understood that all other formulas also follow this type of absolute stereochemistry unless otherwise stated. Additionally, it is to be understood by those of skill in the art that the present invention embodies stereochemical configurations other than those shown. Specifically, the present invention embodies all configurations including the various stereoisomers. Compounds which do not meet the absolute stereochemistry in formula (I) should meet an activity threshold in various assays, to be explained below, which can ensure their efficacy as useful molecules. The present invention includes mixtures, such as racemic mixtures, which contain molecules having the claimed stereochemistry.

The desired compound of the present invention may be clinically used either in a free form or in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid-addition salts with inorganic acid or organic acid (e. g., hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, hydrobromide, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, acetate), salt with inorganic base, organic base or amino acid (e. g., triethylamine salt, a salt with lysine, an alkali metal salt, an alkali earth metal salt and the like).

The compound may also be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the compound as defined above and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

The compound can also be used for treating or preventing a4 (3, adhesion mediated conditions in a mammal such as a human. This method may comprise administering to a

mammal or a human patient an effective amount of the compound or composition as explained above.

This method can be used to treat such inflammatory conditions as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, allergy conditions, adult respiratory distress syndrome, AIDS, cardiovascular diseases, thrombosis or harmful platelet aggregation, reocclusion following thrombolysis, allograft rejection, reperfusion injury, psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis and other skin inflammatory diseases, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis, neoplastic diseases including metastasis of neoplastic or cancerous growth, wound healing enhancement, treatment of certain eye diseases such as detaching retina, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), inflammatory and immunoinflammatory conditions including ophthalmic inflammatory conditions and inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis, atherosclerosis, regional enteritis and other autoimmune diseases.

As mentioned above, the compounds and compositions containing the compounds <BR> <BR> according to the present invention are particularly useful in treating or preventing a4 (3, adhesion mediated conditions in a mammal such as a human. The present inventors have found that the compounds and compositions containing the compounds according to the present invention are most useful in the treatment of asthma.

The desired compound of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be administered either orally or parenterally, and it may be used as a suitable pharmaceutical preparation, for example, a tablet, a granule, a capsule, a powder, an injection, and an inhalation by a conventional process.

The dose of the desired compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof varies depending on an administration method, age, body weight, and state of a patient, but, in general, the daily dose is preferably about 0.1 to 100 mg/kg/day, however, 1 to 100 mg/kg/day may also be suitable.

Preferred routes of administration for asthma: It is preferred that the compound of the present invention be administered in the form of an Aerosol. However, other routes of administration include intravenous, oral, intramuscular, and subcutaneous.

In the case of aerosol administration, compositions containing the compounds of the present invention can be prepared to provide for an excellent means for administering in aerosol form for inhalation therapy. Accordingly, the present invention will provide for self- propelling compositions containing the compounds of the present invention.

Propellants employed should be non-toxic and have a vapor pressure suitable for the conditions under which administration occurs. These propellants can be fluorinated or fluorochlorinated lower saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. The preferred propellants of this type are the halogenated alkanes containing not more than two carbon atoms and at least one fluorine atom. Illustrative of these are trichloromonofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, monochlorotrifluoromethane, dichloromonofluoromethane and 1,2-dichloro-1, 1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane. These compounds are available from E. I. duPont de Nemours and Company under the trade name"Freon". These propellants may be employed singularly or in admixture.

In addition to the propellant, an organic solvent may also be employed. The organic solvent must be non-toxic and without undesirable effects on inhalation in the amount present in the aerosol produced. In addition, the solvent should be substantially anhydrous, completely miscible with the propellant or mixture of propellants employed and have a suitable boiling point. Examples of such solvents included non-toxic aliphatic alcohols such as ethanol; ethers such as ethyl ether and vinyl ether; ketones such as acetone; and suitable halogenated lower alkanes.

In addition to the organic solvent, the composition may also optionally contain a non- toxic hygroscopic glycol. The glycol must be substantially miscible with the organic solvent and the propellant employed. Satisfactory glycols include propylene glycol, triethylene glycol, glycerol, butylene glycol and hexylene glycol.

The above indicated methods of administration and formulation of aerosol compositions should not be viewed as limiting. The compounds of the present invention can

be formulated in anyway deemed suitable to one of ordinary skill in the art so as to obtain the desired effects.

Pharmaceutical Compositions As indicated previously, the compounds of formula (I) can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions. In determining when a compound of formula (I) is indicated for the treatment of a given disease, the particular disease in question, its severity, as well as the age, sex, weight, and condition of the subject to be treated, must be taken into consideration and this perusal is to be determined by the skill of the attendant physician.

For medical use, the amount of a compound of formula (I) required to achieve a therapeutic effect will, of course, vary both with the particular compound, the route of administration, the patient under treatment, and the particular disorder or disease being treated. A suitable daily dose of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for a mammalian subject suffering from, or likely to suffer from, any condition as described hereinbefore is 0.1 mg to 100 mg of the compound of formula I, per kilogram body weight of the mammalian subject. In the case of systematic administration, the dose may be in the range of 0.5 to 500 mg of the compound per kilogram body weight, the most preferred dosage being 0.5 to 50 mg/kg of mammal body weight administered two to three times daily. In the case of topical administration, e. g., to the skin or eye, a suitable dose may be in the range of 0.1 pg to 100 ig of the compound per kilogram, typically about 0.1 tg/kg.

In the case of oral dosing, a suitable dose of a compound of Formula (I), or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, may be as specified in the preceding paragraph, but most preferably is from 1 mg to 10 mg of the compound per kilogram, the most preferred dosage being from 1 mg to 5 mg/kg of mammal body weight, for example, from 1 to 2 mg/kg. Most preferably, a unit dosage of an orally administrable composition encompassed by the present invention contains less than about 1.0 g of a formula (I) compound.

It is understood that formulation, both for human and veterinary use, of the present invention may be presented to the mammal by inhalation. To achieve therapeutic effect, the dose may be in the range of 0.5 to 500 mg of the compound, per kg body weight. The most

preferred dosage being 0.5 to 50 mg/kg of mammal body weight administered two to three times daily.

It is understood that the ordinarily skilled physician or veterinarian will readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of a compound of formula (I) to prevent or arrest the progress of the condition for which treatment is administered. In so proceeding, the physician or veterinarian could employ relatively low doses at first, subsequently increasing the dose until a maximum response is obtained.

The compounds and compositions of the present invention can be administered to patients suffering from a condition listed herein in an amount which is effective to fully or partially alleviate undesired symptoms of the condition. The symptoms may be caused by inappropriate cell adhesion mediated by a4, integrins. Such inappropriate cell adhesion would typically be expected to occur as a result of increased VCAM-1 and/or CS-1 expression on the surface of endothelial cells. Increased VCAM-1 and/or CS-1 expression can be due to a normal inflammation response or due to abnormal inflammatory states. In either case, an effective dose of a compound of the invention may reduce the increased cell adhesion due to increased VCAM-1 expression by endothelial cells. Reducing the adhesion observed in the disease state by 50% can be considered an effective reduction in adhesion.

More preferably, a reduction in adhesion by 90%, is achieved. Most preferably adhesion mediated by VCAM-1/a, p, and/or CS-1 interaction is abolished by an effective dose.

Clinically. in some instances, effect of the compound can be observed or a decrease in white cell infiltration into tissues or a site of injury. To achieve a therapeutic effect, then, the compounds or compositions of the present invention are administered to provide a dose effective to reduce or eliminate inappropriate cell adhesion or to alleviate undesired symptoms.

While it is possible for an active ingredient to be administered alone, it is preferable to present it as a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a compound of formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier thereof. Such formulations constitute a further feature of the present invention.

The formulations, both for human and veterinary medical use, of the present invention comprise an active ingredient of formula (I), in association with a pharmaceutically

acceptable carrier thereof and optionally other therapeutic ingredient (s), which are generally known to be effective in treating the disease or condition encountered. The carrier (s) must be"acceptable"in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulations and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.

The formulations include those in a form suitable for oral, pulmonary, ophthalmic, rectal, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous), intra-articular, topical, nasal inhalation (e. g., with an aerosol) or buccal administration. Such formulation are understood to include long-acting formulations known in the art.

The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. All methods may include the step of bringing the active ingredient into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing the active ingredient into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired form.

Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of discrete units such as capsules, cachets, tablets, or lozenges, each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient in the form of a powder or granules; in the form of a solution or suspension in an aqueous liquid. Formulations for other uses could involve a nonaqueous liquid; in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil emulsion; in the form of an aerosol; or in the form of a cream or ointment or impregnated into a transdermal patch for use in administering the active ingredient transdermally, to a patient in need thereof. The active ingredient of the present inventive compositions may also be administered to a patient in need thereof in the form of a bolus, electuary, or paste.

Preparation 16 is provided as a specific example of the synthesis of a compound of general structure B-4.

Condensation of B-4 with amino acid derivative B-5 under standard peptide synthesis conditions provides the compound of general structure B-6 (preparation 17).

Scheme C describes a method for the preparation of examples of the formula C-10.

Commercially available Rink Amide MBHA resin is deprotected under standard solid- phase peptide synthesis conditions (Atherton, E.; Sheppard R. C. Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis : A Practical Approach; IRL Press at Oxford University Press: Oxford, 1989) to afford the amine of formula C-2. Acylation with a commercially available or readily prepared amino acid residue of general C-3 affords the resin bound derivative of formula C-4. Removal of the Fmoc group under standard conditions provides amine of general structure C-5 which is acylated with a commercially available or readily prepared thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid of general formula C-6 to afford the resin bound intermediate C-7. Standard Fmoc deprotection affords the resin bound amine of general formula C-8 which may be reacted with a variety of electrophilic reagents as described in Scheme A to afford resin bound amides, ureas, sulfonamides and carbamates of general structure C-9. Preparation 18 details an example of the reaction of a mixed carbonate to

afford a carbamate of general structure C-9 (where Y is equal to CO2). Standard acidolysis affords the amide of general structure C-10.

Rp_,, Rp_2, and RD-3 are defined independently as R,. RD-4 is defined as R,.

Scheme D describes a method for the preparation of examples of general formula D-9. Commercially available or readily prepared N-a-Fmoc protected amino acids of general structure D-1 are coupled with O- (tert-butyl) hydroxylamine (D-2) under standard coupling conditions as previously referenced to afford the t-butyl hydroxamate of general structure D-3. Standard Fmoc deprotection affords the intermediate amine of formula D-4.

Coupling of this amine with a commercially available or readily prepared N-a-Fmoc- thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid of general structure D-5 affords the pseudodipeptide intermediate of general structure D-6. Standard Fmoc deprotection affords the intermediate amine of general structure D-7 which may be reacted under the variety of conditions described in Scheme A to afford amides, carbamates, sulfonamides and ureas of general structure D-8. Preparation 22 provides a specific example of the reaction of an amine of general structure D-7 with a carbonate to afford a carbamate of general structure D-8. Mild acidolysis affords the hydroxamate of general structure D-9.

Scheme F Where RF-3 is defined as proton or C, 6 alkyl.

Scheme F describes a general method for the preparation of examples of the formula F-4, F-5, F-6, F-7, and F-8. A commercially available or readily prepared sulfur containing amino acid of structure F-1 is condensed with amino acid derivative F-2 under standard peptide synthesis conditions as described in Scheme A. Deprotection of the carbamate from F-3 provides the useful intermediate F-4. The amine group may be reacted with a variety of electrophilic reagents as described in Scheme A to provide esters of general structure F-5. Mild base hydrolysis provides acids of structure F-6. Mild hydrolysis of esters of general structure F-3 provides acid of formula F-7. In those cases <BR> <BR> in which RF-3 is equal to t-butyl, mild acidolysis of compounds of general structure F-3 afford the amino acid of general structure F-8.

Readily prepared lactams of general structure G-1 may be alkylated by the reaction of an appropriate alkylating in the presence of a suitable base as described in preparation 37 to provide intermediates of general structure G-2. Mild hydrolysis provides the monoacid of general structure G-3 which may be condensed with an amino acyl intermediate of structure G-4 as described in Scheme A. Full hydrolysis of the diester of general structure G-5 affords the diacid of structure G-6.

Scheme H.

Scheme H teaches a general method for the preparation of 6-chloroazatyrosine examples of structures H-4 and H-5, by adaption of the methodology for the preparation of protected azatyrosine reagents as described by Kawata, S.; Ashizawa, S.; Hirama, M. J. Am. Chem.

Soc. and references cited therein. Thus regioselective iodination of 2-chloro-3-pyridinol gives the chloro-iodopyridinol H-2, that is O-alkylated as exemplified by the synthesis of H-3. Palladium-catalyzed reaction of H-3 with the organozinc derived from a suitably protected ß-iodoalanine, provides the protected 5- chloroazatyrosine H-4. N-deprotection of H-4 gives the aminoester H-5, that is used (as exemplified by reagent A-4 of Scheme A, and by reagent B-5 of Scheme B) for the synthesis of Examples of this invention Preparation 41.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119,12012-12013 and references cited therein. Thus 0-protection of chloroiodopyridinol I-1 (identical to H-2) is followed by reaction with the organozinc, derived from a suitably protected p-iodoalanine, to provide the protected 6-chloroazatyrosine 1-3. Reductive dehalogenation of I-3 gives I-4, that is O-deprotected to give 1-5. Reagent I-5 is O- alkylated, as exemplified by the preparation of I-6. N-deprotection of I-6 gives the aminoester I-7, that is used (as exemplified by reagent A-4 of Scheme A, and by reagent B-5 of Scheme B) for the synthesis of Examples of this invention.

Scheme L.

Scheme L teaches a general method for the preparation of N-alkylaryl azetidinedi- carboxylic acid Examples L-4 and L-5, where RL-1 is C1-6 alkyl, RL-2 is C6-10 aryl and RS is defined as in Scheme B. The N-phenylethyl-2. 4-azetidinedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester stereoisomers of general structure LI were prepared as described (Hoshino, J.; Hiraoka, J.; Hata, Y. : Sawada, S.; Yamamoto, Y. J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 1995,693-697) and separated by silica flash chromatography. Thus partial saponification of diester L-1 gives

the half-acid L-2, that is coupled with reagent L-3 (as exemplified by the use of reagents A-3 and A-4 of Scheme A, and B-4 and B-5 of Scheme B) to provide Examples L-4, that are then hydrolyzed to Examples L-5 of this invention.

Preparation 75. The aminoester product of preparation 75 is useful as a synthetic intermediate (for example, reagent A-4 of Scheme A).

To a cold (0-5°C) solution of anhydrous methanolic HC1 was added 100 g of L-4- nitrophenylalanine (Advanced ChemTech) portionwise over 15 min. The mechanically stirred mixture was heated to gentle reflux for 48 h. The mixture was allowed to cool and then filtered through a sintered glass filter funnel, washing the collected solids with hot MeOH until only insoluble residues remained. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford the methyl ester (120 g) as waxy off white solid which was used without further purification.

To a suspension of methyl ester described above (87 g, 0.33 mole) in CH2Cl2 (1500 mL) at ambient temperature was added di-t-butyldicarbonate (109 g, 0.50 mole) followed by the dropwise addition of Et3N (51 mL, 0.37 mole). After 15 min additional Et3N (40 mL, 0.29 mol) was added to maintain a slightly basic mixture (ca. pH 8). The reaction mixture was stirred 18 h and additional CH, CL, (1400 mL) and Et3N (15 mL, 0.11 mol) were added.

After an additional 2 h the reaction mixture was quenched by the slow addition of MeOH (100 mL), stirred for 1 h and then partitioned between CH2Cl2 and cold 10% aqueous KHSO4, The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHC03 and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography of the residue using hexane and a gradient of a 1: 1 mixture of EtOAc/CH2Cl2 (25-33%) afforded the Boc-methyl ester (69 g) as a white solid.

Palladium on carbon (10% w/w, 1.25 g) was added to a Parr hydrogenation flask under a N, atmosphere and carefully wetted with 100 mL of MeOH/THF (1: 1). A solution of the Boc-methyl ester described above (25 g, 77 mmol) in 400 mL of MeOH/THF (1: 1) was added and the mixture shaken on a hydrogenation apparatus under a hydrogen atmosphere (20 psi) for 1 h at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and the solids washed several times with MeOH. The combined filtrates were concentrated in vacuo to afford the 4-aminophenylalanyl derivative (22.7 g) which was used without further purification.

Intermediate-1: Attachment of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl- [4- (2, 6,-dichlorobenzoylamino)]- L-phenylalanine to Merrifield resin was done using Horiki's method (Horiki et al., Chem.

Lett. 1978 (2) 165-168). In a 250 mL round bottom flask fitted with a drying tube, Merrifield resin (Biorad, 10.0 g, 13.5 mmol/g) and anhydrous potassium fluoride (Aldrich, 1.57g, 27.0 mmol) were added to a solution of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl- [4- (2,6,- dichlorobenzoylamino)]-L-phenylalanine (Bachem California, 6.13 g, 13.5 mmol) in dry DMF (100 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 80°C in an oil bath for 24 hr. The cooled resin was then filtered and washed thoroughly with DMF (2 x 250 mL), 50% aqueous DMF (3 x 250 mL), methanol (3 x 250 mL), dichloromethane (3 x 250 mL), and finally methanol (3 x 250 mL). The resin was then dried under reduced pressure to constant weight to give Intermediate-1. Incorporation of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl- [4- (2,6,- dichlorobenzoylamino)]-L-phenylalanine onto the resin was estimated to be 0.045 mmol/g from the increase in resin mass.

Where: RO-1 is defined as R, 2 ; Ro_2 is defined as C, 6 alkyl or C,, 7 arylalkyl; Ro 3, Ro 4f and Ru 5, are defined independently as R,. RO-6 is defined as R2. Y, and Y2 are defined independently as Y.

Scheme O describes a method for the preparation of examples of the formula 0-9 and 0-12. Commercially available Wang resin (0-1) is acylated with commercially available N-a-Fmoc-Phe (NO2)-OH (0-2) under standard conditions to afford the resin of formula 0-3. Reduction of the aromatic nitro group (Meyer et al., Mol. Diversity 1995,1, 13-20) affords the resin bound aniline (0-4) which may be reacted with a variety of electrophilic reagents to afford resin bound amides (0-5 where Y, is C (=O)), ureas (0-5 where Y, is C (=O) NH), sulfonamides (0-5 where Y, is SO2), and carbamates (0-5 where Y, is C (=O) O). Removal of the Fmoc group under standard conditions provides amine of general structure 0-6 which is acylated using standard solid-phase peptide synthesis conditions (Atherton, E.; Sheppard R. C. Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis : A Practical Approach; IRL Press at Oxford University Press: Oxford, 1989) with a commercially available or readily prepared thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid of general formula 0-7 to afford the resin bound intermediate 0-8. Mild cleavage under standard conditions (Atherton, E.; Sheppard R. C. Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis : A Practical Approach; IRL Press at Oxford University Press: Oxford, 1989) affords the acid of general structure 0-9.

In those cases where Ro 2 is a 9-fluorenylmethyl group, standard Fmoc group removal affords the amine of general structure 0-10, which may be reacted with a variety of electrophilic reagents as described in Scheme A to afford resin bound amides, ureas, sulfonamides and carbamates of general structure 0-11. Mild cleavage under standard conditions affords the acid of general structure 0-12.

(4S)-4-[[[(1S)-1-Carboxy-2-[4-[(benzoyl) amino] phenyl] ethyl] amino] carbonyl]-3- thiazolidinecarboxylic acid 3-ethyl ester

To a mixture of Wang resin (1% DVB, Advanced Chemtech, 2.75 g, 2.20 mmol based on manufacture's loading of 0.8 mmol/g resin) in DMF (12 mL) was added N-a- Fmoc-Phe (NO2)-OH, 0-2 (Advanced Chemtech, 1.90 g, 4.40 mmol) at room temperature.

After mixing for 10 min (by passing a slow stream of nitrogen through the mixture) pyridine (587 pL, 7.26 mmol) and 2,6-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (630 u. L, 4.40 mmol) were added. The mixture was agitated overnight via nitrogen bubbling, filtered, washed with DMF, methylene chloride and methanol and dried in vacuo. In order to cap any unreacted hydroxymethyl groups, the resin was suspended in dichloroethane (5 mL) and to this mixture was added benzoyl chloride (0.75 mL) and pyridine (0.75 mL). The mixture was agitated for 2 h, filtered, washed with DMF, methylene chloride, methanol, methylene chloride and methanol, and dried in vacuo to afford the resin 0-3 (3.30 g). IR (diamond anvil) 1733,1606 (resin), 1520 (resin), 1494 (resin), 1452 (resin), 1347,1247,1174,1029 cm To the prewashed (2 X 20 mL DMF) resin 0-3 (1.0 g, ca. 0.6 mmol based on an adjusted loading of 0.6 mmol/g) was added SnCI 2 H20 (6 mL of a 2M solution in DMF, 12 mmol). The viscous suspension was agitated for 4 hours by nitrogen bubbling, filtered and washed with DMF (2 X 20 mL). The resin was resuspended with SnCl2 2 H20 (6 mL of a 2M solution in DMF, 12 mmol), agitated overnight via nitrogen bubbling, filtered, washed extensively with DMF, water, 2-propanol, methylene chloride and methanol and dried in vacuo to afford the resin 0-4. Examination of the FTIR spectra of a small sample of resin 0-4 failed to exhibit an absorption at 1347 crri'.

To a mixture of prewashed (2 X 20 mL CH2C12) resin 0-4 (0.30 g, ca. 0.18 mmol based on an adjusted loading of 0.6 mmol/g) in 1,2-dichloroethane (3 mL) was added benzoyl chloride (174 pL, 1.50 mmol) and DIEA (313 pL, 1.80 mmol). The mixture was agitated overnight via nitrogen bubbling, filtered, washed with methylene chloride, DMF, methanol, and methylene chloride and dried in vacuo to afford resin 0-5. To a mixture of

resin 0-5 in methylene chloride (5 mL) was added a solution of piperidine in DMF (30%, 5 mL). A slow stream of nitrogen was bubbled through the mixture to effect mixing for 20 min. The resin was filtered, washed with DMF and resuspended in a solution of piperidine in DMF (30%, 10 ml). After gentle mixing for 40 min, the resin was filtered and washed with DMF, methylene chloride, methanol and methylene chloride and diluted with DMF (40 mL). To this mixture was added N-ethoxycarbonyl-D-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (0-7,0.15 g, 0.72 mmol), HOBt (0.11 g, 0.72 mmol), PyBOP (0.37 g, 0.72 mmol) and DIEA (313 u. L, 1.80 mmol). The reaction was mixed for 4 h at which point the qualitative Kaiser test was negative. The resin was filtered and washed with DMF, methylene chloride and MeOH and dried in vacuo to afford resin 0-8. After swelling with a minimum of methylene chloride (ca. 0.5 mL), the resin 0-8 was suspended with 95 % aqueous TFA (5 mL). The mixture was mixed by magnetic stirring for Ih, filtered and washed with TFA (2 X 3 mL) and methylene chloride. The combined filtrates were evaporated in vacuo to afford a residue that was purified by flash chromatography using methylene chloride/methanol (2%) containing glacial acetic acid (0.1%) as eluant to afford the title compound (80 mg). Lyophilization from glacial acetic acid afforded an amorphous powder : IR (drift) 3311,3298,1670,1601,1579,1531,1487,1412,1380, 1345,1324,1265,1205,1190,709 cW' ;'H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) 8 10.39 (1 H), 8.39 (1 H), 8.14 (2 H), 7.86 (2 H), 7.74 (3 H), 7.36 (2 H), 4.83 (2 H), 4.59 (1 H), 4.48 (1 H), 4.22 (2 H), 3.48 (2 H), 3.26 (1 H), 3.06 (2 H), 1.35 (3 H);'3C NMR (75 MHz, DMSO- d6) 8 173.4,169.8,165.8,154.0,138.0,135.4,133.3,131.9,129.8,128.8, 128.0,120.4, 8,36.7,14.8; MS (ESI+) for C23H25N306S m/z 472.0 (M+H) +; MS (ESI-) for C23H25N306S mlz 470.1 (M-H)- ; MS (FAB) mlz (rel. intensity) 472 (MH+, 99), 472 (99), 371 (31), 160 (31), 81 (31), 71 (45), 69 (46), 57 (71), 55 (58), 43 (47), 41 (42); HRMS (FAB) calcd for C23H25N306S +HI 472.1542, found 472.1563; Anal.

Where: Rp, is defined as Rl2 ; Rp 2 is defined as C1 6 alkyl or C, l, arylalkyl; RP-3, Rp- 4, and Rp 5, are defined independently as R,. Rp 6 is defined as R2.

Scheme P describes a method for the preparation of examples of the formula P-9 and P-12. Commercially available Wang resin (P-1) is acylated with commercially available N-a-Boc-Phe (I)-OH (P-2) under standard conditions to afford the resin of formula P-3. Carbonylation of the resin bound aryl iodide with carbon monoxide and an amine in the presence of a source of palladium (O) affords the resin bound amide of general formula P-5 (for a general review of carbonylation chemistry, see: Colquhoun, H. M.; Thompson, D. J.; Twigg, M. V. Carbonylation Plenum Press: New York, 1991). Mild cleavage under standard conditions affords the amino acid of general structure P-5 which is esterified under mild acid catalysis to afford the amino ester of general structure P-6.

Condensation with a commercially available or readily prepared thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid of general formula P-7 under conditions described in Scheme A affords the pseudodipeptide of general structure P-8. Mild base hydrolysis of the ester of general structure P-8 affords the acid of general structure P-9. In the case where Rp. is a 9- fluorenylmethyl group, standard Fmoc group removal (Atherton, E.; Sheppard R. C. Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis: A Practical Approach ; IRL Press at Oxford University Press: Oxford, 1989) affords the amine of general structure P-10, which may be reacted with a variety of electrophilic reagents as described in Scheme A to afford amides, ureas, sulfonamides and carbamates of general structure P-ll. Mild base hydrolysis of the ester in general structure P-11 affords the acid of general structure P-12.

Scheme R Scheme R teaches a general method for the preparation of Examples corresponding to structures R-4 and R-5, where R6 is nitrogen. Thus reaction of the amide R-1 (obtained from the imide J-2), with the organozinc derived from a suitable protected-iodoalanine, provides the acylamino azaphenylalanine R-2. N-deprotection of R-2 gives the aminoester R-3, that is used (as exemplified by reagent A-4 of Scheme A, and by reagent B-5 of Scheme B) for the synthesis of Examples R-4 and R-5 of this invention.

BiologicalAssavs Jurkat-Endothelial Cell Adhesion Assay: The following assay established the activity of the present compounds in inhibiting P I-mediated cell adhesion in a representative in vitro system. This assay measures the adhesive interactions of a T-cell line, Jurkat, known to express the oe4ß, integrin, to endothelial monolayers in the presence of test compounds. The test compounds were added in increasing concentrations to T-cells and then the T- cell compound mixture was added to IL-1 stimulated endothelial cell monolayers.

The plates were incubated, washed and the percentage of attached cells was quantitated. The present assay directly demonstrates the cell adhesion inhibitory activity and adhesion modulatory activity of the compounds.

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were purchased from Clonetics (San Diego, CA.) at passage number 2. The cells were grown on 0.5% porcine skin gelatin pre-coated flasks (Sigma, St. Louis MO.) in EGM-UV media (Clonetics, San Diego, CA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells are refed every 2-3 days reaching confluence by day 4 to 6. The cells are monitored for factor VIII antigen and results show that at passage 12, the cells are positive for this antigen. The endothelial cells are not used following passage 6.

The T-cell line Jurkat was obtained from American Type Tissue Culture Collection (Rockville, MD) and the cells were cultured in RPMI containing 10 % fetal calf serum. The cells were washed twice in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) and resuspended in Dulbecco's Minimal Eagle's Media (DMEM) containing 2.5 mg/ml Human Serum Albumin (HSA). Jurkat cells (lux106 cells/ml) were stained with 10 ng/ml BCECF-AM (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR)) in HBSS without phenol red. The cells were loaded with BCECF for 60 minutes in the dark at 370C, washed 2 times, and resuspended in DMEM-HSA solution.

Confluent endothelial monolayers, grown in 96-well tissue culture plates, were stimulated for 4 hr. at 37 °C with 0.1 ng/ml (-50 U/ml) recombinant IL-1 (Amgen, Thousand Oaks, CA). Following this incubation, the monolayers were washed twice with HBSS and 0.1 ml of DMEM-HSA solution was added. Jurkat

cells (5 x 105 cells) were combined with the appropriate concentration of the test compound and 0.1 ml of the Jurkat cell-compound mixture was added to the endothelial cell monolayers. Generally, 100,20,5 and 1.25 u. M compound concentrations were tested. These concentrations are adjusted downward for analogs found or thought to be more potent. The plates were placed on ice for 5 minutes to allow for Jurkat cell settling and the plates were incubated at 37 °C for 20 minutes. Following this incubation, the monolayers were washed twice with PBS containing 1 mM calcium chloride and 1 mM magnesium chloride and the plates were read using a Millipore Cytofluor 2300 (Marlboro, MA.). Fluorescence in each well was measured as Arbitrary Fluorescence Units and percent adhesion in the absence of compound was adjusted to 100% and the % adhesion in the presence of compound was calculated. Monolayers were also fixed in 3% paraformaldehyde and evaluated microscopically to verify the adhesion. This procedure is a modification of a previously published method (Cardarelli et al., J.

Biol. Chem. 269: 18668-18673 (1994)).

Jurkat-CS-1assay The CS-1 derived peptide, CLHPGEILDVPST, and the scrambled control peptide, CLHGPIELVSDPT, were synthesized on a Beckman 990 synthesizer using t-Boc methodology. The peptides were immobilized onto microtiter plates using the heterobifunctional crosslinker 3- (2-pyridyldithio) propionic acid N- hydroxysuccinimide ester (SPDP) as reported by Pierschbacher et al., Proc. Natl.

Acad. USA, 80: 1224-1227 (1983). Microtiter plates were coated with 20 llg/ml HSA for 2 hr. at room temperature, washed once with PBS and derivatized with 10 ug/ml SPDP for 1 hr. After washing, 100 uJ of a 100 g/ml cysteine containing peptide solution which had been recently dissolved was added to the wells and allowed to crosslink to the plates overnight at 4 °C. Unbound peptide was removed from plates by washing with PBS. To block non-reacted sites, the plates are coated with 100 ul of a 2.5 mg/ml BSA solution in PBS for 1 hr. at 37 °C. 100 ul of Jurkat cells (2.5 x 106 cells/ml) in DMEM plus BSA (2.5 mg/ml) was mixed with

an appropriate concentration of the compound to be tested and the mixture was added to peptide coated dishes and incubated for 1 hr. at 37 °C. Generally 100,20, 5 and 1.25 FM concentrations of the compound were tested. The concentrations of the compound were adjusted downward for compounds thought or found to be more potent.

Following this incubation the plates were washed once with PBS and the attached cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde in PBS and stained with 0.5% toluidine blue in 3.7% formaldehyde. The cells were stained overnight at room temperature and the optical density at 590 nm of toluidine blue stained cells was determined using a vertical pathway spectrophotometer to quantitate attachment (VMAX Kinetic Microplate Reader, Molecular Devices, Menlo Park, CA). This procedure is a modification of a previously published method (Cardarelli et al, J.

Biol. Chem., 269: 18668-18673 (1994) and Cardarelli et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

USA, 83: 2647-2651 (1986)).

Biological Activitv in Dextran Pleurisv Model Certain compounds of the present invention were tested in a Dextran pleurisy model.

Rationale for Developing an a1ß, Integrin Antazonist to Treat Inflammatorv Diseases VLA-4, a member of the pi integrin family of adhesion molecules, is thought to play a critical role in several types of inflammatory disease processes by promoting leukocyte adhesion to vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) and the CS-1 domain of fibronectin in extracellular tissue matrix (Elices MJ, Osborn L, Takada Y, Crouse C, Luhowskyj S.

Cell; 60: 53-61,1990) Of the cell types expressing VLA-4, the major emphasis has been on eosinophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Validation of the role of VLA-4 has relied predominantly on the use of anti-VLA-4 antibodies which have been shown to suppress delayed-type hypersensitivity responses (Issekutz TB.

Attentuation of colitis in the cotton-top Tamarin by anti- 4 integrin monoclonal antibody. J Clin Invest ; 92: 372-380,1993). Since eosinophils represent a major component of the inflammatory cell influx in asthmatic lung tissue we developed a simple acute inflammatory model of VLA-4 integrin-dependent eosinophil infiltration which could be used to identify VLA-4 antagonists; such compounds would be of potential value in the treatment of asthma as well as other diseases in which VLA-4 played a role.

Materials and Methods Animas, housing and viral testing: C57BL/6 mice (Jackson, Bar Harbor. ME ;), 6-8 weeks old, weighing 20-25g were used throughout. All mice were acclimated for at least 7-14 days after arrival and maintained under controlled temperature (20-220C) and a 12 hr daily light cycle (6.00 A. M.-6.00 P. M.). Mice were housed in laminar flow racks and checked biweekly for viral infections (mouse hepatitis virus, minute virus of mice. rodent orphan parvovirus. Sendai) with kits obtained from Oreganon Teknika (Durham. NC) using established enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assays. Mice testing positive for any of the above were omitted from the study. All mice were fed standard laboratory chow (Upjohn Lab Rodent Irradiated Mouse Chow. #5011-3, PMI Feeds, St. Louis. MO) and acidified drinking water (pH 5.0) ad libitum.

Induction of Inflammation by Intrapleural Iniection of Dextran: Intrapleural injections were made using a 27G needle cut to 3-4 mm and blunted by filing. Injections were made by inserting the needle between the mid-intercostal ribs on the right side of the thoracic cavity.

Dextran (MW 5-40x106, St Louis, MO.) was injected as a 10% solution in saline in a volume of 100 ul/mouse. Care was taken to avoid bleeding at the site of injection at which the intercostal muscles were cut to facilitate smooth insertion of the needle.

Quantitation of Pleural Inflammatorv Leukocvte Responses: Pleural leukocytes were collected as follows: 4h post-induction, pleural inflammatory exudate was removed by washing with 2 x 1.0 ml Ca++/Mg++ free HBSS (Gibco, Grand Island, NY) containing 45 mg EDTA/100 ml HBSS, 40C. Total leukocyte counts were made by hemocytometer following erythrocyte lysis in 2% acetic acid in PBS buffer; exudate leukocyte pellets were resuspended in serum for cytospin preparations and stained (Diff Quik, Baxter Healthcare, McGraw Park, IL) for differential leukocyte counts (neutrophils. eosinophils, and mononuclear leukocytes).

The pleural cavities of mice receiving either no intrapleural injection, or saline were washed and the cells counted in the same way to estimate baseline or saline-induced pleural leukocyte counts respectively.

Administration of compounds: All drugs were dissolved in PBS and the pH adjusted to 7.5 with NaOH. Each compound was administered intravenously through the retroorbital sinus at hourly intervals (0-3h) starting from time"0"as indicated. Mice were carefully monitored for side effects; none were noted for the series of compounds reported herein.

The following compounds were tested for their inhibitory effects on dextran- induced leukocyte infiltration: Examples 10.12,16,37,62,66,67,99,100,111, 113, 115, 127. 1--) 1, 141. 184,185,192, PBS (saline) was administered iv. as a control.

Inhibition of eosinophil infiltration. which was suppressed by anti-alpha-4 Mab (PS/2, 50%), was used as a readout of VLA-4 antagonist activity of the compounds tested. Data for neutrophils are also reported.

Results: Dextran pleural leukocyte response. The total pleural leukocyte counts were 255x104 (+/- 16 SEM) cells in the normal pleural cavity; of the normal pleural leukocyte population, all cells were mononuclear (a similar response was observed following intrapleural saline injection). Four hours after intrapleural injection of dextran total pleural leukocyte counts increased to 719x 104 (+/-67 SEM) and comprised 36.8xlo4 (+/-4.1 SEM) eosinophils, 292x104 (+/-25 SEM) neutrophils and 391x104 (+/-48 SEM) mononuclear leukocytes.
