Background of the invention Integrins are a group of cell surface glycoproteins which mediate cell adhesion and therefore are useful mediators of cell adhesion interactions which occur during various biological processes. The integrin identified as αVß3 (also known as the vitronectin receptor) is expressed in a number of cell types, including osteoclasts, platelets, megakaryocytes, proliferating endothelium, arterial smooth muscle, and some transformed tissue cells. A number of processes are mediated by activated OCVß3 receptor, including the adhesion of osteoclasts to bone matrix, smooth muscle cell migration, and angiogenesis.

Antagonists of another integrin, αVß5, will also inhibit neovascularization, and will be useful for treating and preventing angiogenesis metastasis, tumor growth, macular degeneration and diabetic retionopathy.

Therefore, it is useful to antagonize both the (Xvß5 and the OCVß3 receptor.

Such"mixed avß5lavß3 antagonists"or"dual avPs/av antagonists"are useful for treating or preventing angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, tumor growth, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.

Antagonists of (Xvß3 have been published in the literature. For instance, peptidyl as well as peptidomimetic antagonists containing the RGD sequence, have been described both in the scientific and patent literature. For example, reference is made to W. J. Hoekstra and B. L. Poulter, Curr. Med. Chem. 5: 195- 204 (1998) and references cited therein review combinatorial organic syntheses of RGD compounds.

Such compounds that contain the RGD sequence mimic extracellular matrix ligands so as to bind to cell surface receptors. It is known that RGD peptides, in general, are non-selective for RGD dependent integrins. For example, most RGD peptides which bind to αVß3 also bind to avp5, api, avé and αIIbß3. Antagonism of platelet α1 Ibß3 (also known as the fibrinogen receptor) is known to block platelet aggregation in humans, thereby causing a bleeding side effect Small-molecule antagonists of OCvß3 are also known.

Summary of the Invention As evidenced by the continuing research in integrin antagonists and by the shortcomings of the compounds and methods of the art, there still remains a need for small-molecule, non-peptidic selective ava3 and/or OCVß5 antagonist that displays decreased side-effects, and improved potency, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic properties, such as oral bioavailability and duration of action, over already described compounds. Such compounds would prove to be useful for the treatment, prevention, or suppression of various pathologies enumerated above that are mediated by avps and/or OCvß5 receptor binding and cell adhesion and activation.

The compounds of the present invention further show greater selectivity for the OCVß3 and/or αVß5 integrin than for the avpe integrin. It has been found that the selective antagonism of the CXVß3 integrin is desirable in that the avpe integrin may play a role in normal physiological processes of tissue repair and cellular turnover that routinely occur in the skin and pulmonary tissue, and the inhibition of this function can be deleterious (Huang et al., Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 1998, 19 (4): 636-42). Therefore, compounds of the present invention which selectively inhibit the avps integrin as opposed to the avp6 integrin have reduced side effects associated with inhibition of the OCVß6 integrin.

The compounds of the present invention comprise the R-isomers of the carbon of the beta amino acid. Other isomers may result from additional chiral centers, depending on the substitution of the parent structure.

Antagonism of aVP3 leads to decreased bone resorption and therefore restores a normal balance of bone forming and resorbing activity. Thus it will be beneficial to provide antagonists of osteoclast avps that are effective inhibitors of bone resorption and therefore are useful in the treatment or prevention of osteopenia or osteoporosis, or other bone disorders, such as Paget's disease or humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.

The role of the avß3 integrin in smooth muscle cell migration also makes it a therapeutic target for prevention or inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia which is a leading cause of restenosis after vascular procedures (Choi et al., J. Vasc.

Surg. 1994,19 (1) : 125-34).

The attachment of human periodontal ligament cells to anorganic bone matrix is mediated by interaction between a BSP-like molecule and integrin alpha (v) beta3 on the cell surface. Therefore, antagonists of avps will also be useful in treating and preventing periodontal disease.

Many viruses contain a RGD domain in the penton base which promotes efficient infection of host cells via interaction with avis. Also, attachment of other pathogens (such as Candida albicans and Pneumocystis carinii) to cell surfaces is attenuated through antibodies to av. Thus, inhbition of of avps will be useful for the treatment and prevention of viral and other infections.

The integrin avps was identified as a marker of angiogenic blood vessels in chick and man and plays a critical role in angiogenesis or neovascularization.

Antagonists of avß3 inhibit this process by selectively promoting apoptosis of cells in neovasculature. The growth of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, contributes to pathological conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or tumor angiogenesis.

Therefore, avPs antagonists will be useful therapeutic agents for treating such conditions associated with neovascularization.

Brooks et al. (Cell, 1994,79 : 1157-1164) have demonstrated that certain antagonists of avß3 may provide a therapeutic approach for the treatment of neoplasia (inhibition of solid tumor growth) since systemic administration ofavps antagonists causes dramatic regression of various histologically distinct human tumors. Further, establishment of skeletal metastases in advanced breast cancer patients is thought to be mediated by the avais integrin receptor.

The integrin avpe also plays a role in neovascularization. M. C. Friedlander, et al., Science, 270: 1500-1502 (1995) disclose that a monoclonal antibody for ccvp5 inhibits VEFG-induced angiogenesis in the rabbit cornea and the chick chorioallantoic membrane model. Antagonists of the avps integrin will inhibit neovascularization, and will be useful for treating and preventing angiogenesis metastasis, tumor growth, macular degeneration and diabetic retionopathy.

The invention also relates to a method of selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the avps integrin and/or the avß5 integrin and more specifically relates to a method of inhibiting bone resorption, periodontal disease, osteoporosis, humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, Paget's disease, tumor metastasis, solid tumor growth (neoplasia), angiogenesis, including tumor angiogenesis, retinopathy including macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, smooth muscle cell migration and restenosis by administering a therapeutical effective amount of a compound of the Formula I to achieve such inhibition together with a pharmaceutical acceptable carrier. More specifically it has been found that it is advantageous to administer compounds which are avps integrin and/or avß5 selective and that such selectivity is beneficial in reducing unwanted side-effects.

The compounds of the present invention can be used, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, in the treatment or modulation of various conditions or disease states including tumor metastasis, solid tumor growth (neoplasia), osteoporosis, Paget's disease, humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, osteopenia, endometriosis, angiogenesis, including tumor angiogenesis, skeletal malignancy of breast cancer, retinopathy including macular degeneration, arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, periodontal disease, psoriasis and smooth muscle cell migration (e. g. restenosis and artherosclerosis), and microbial or viral diseases. Thus, in one embodiment, compounds of the present invention are beneficial for treating such conditions.

Methods of Treatment In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method of selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the avps integrin and/or the avps integrin and more specifically relates to a method of inhibiting an avß3 integrin and/or an av (i5 integrin-mediated condition by administering a therapeutical effective amount of a compound of Formulas l-lad to achieve such inhibition together with a pharmaceutical acceptable carrier.

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed towards of treating an avps integrin-mediated condition. In another embodiment, the treatment is ameliorative treatment. In another embodiment, the treatment is palliative treatment. In yet another embodiment, the treatment is preventive treatment.

More specifically it has been found that it is advantageous to administer compounds which are avps integrin and/or avß5 selective and that such selectivity is beneficial in reducing unwanted side-effects. The selective antagonism of the avps and/or avß5 integrin over the avpe integrin is viewed as desirable in this class of compounds, as avß6 may also play a role in normal physiological processes of tissue repair and cellular turnover that routinely occur in the skin and pulmonary tissues. In one embodiment, the selectivity ratio of the (XVP3 and the avß5 integrins over the avpe integrin is at least about 10 to at least about 1000. In another embodiment, the selectivity ratio is about 10 to about 100. In yet another embodiment, the selectivity ratio is at least about 5 to about 100. In a further embodiment, the selectivity ratio is at least about 1000.

For the selective inhibition or antagonism of aV03 and/or avß5 integrins, compounds of the present invention may be administered orally (such as by tablets, capsules [each of which includes sustained release or timed release formulations], pills powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, suspensions, syrups and emulsions), parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically (e. g., ocular eyedrop), or transdermally (e. g. , patch), all in unit dosage formulations containing conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes, for example, subcutaneous, intravenous (bolus or infusion), intramuscular, intrasternal, transmuscular infusion techniques or intraperitonally, all using forms well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Compounds of the present invention can also be administered via liposomes (e. g., unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles), and can be formed from a variety of phospholipids. Further, compounds of the present invention can be coupled to an antibody, such as a monoclonal antibody or fragment thereof, or to a soluble polymer for targeted drug delivery.

The compounds of the present invention are administered by any suitable route in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. Therapeutically effective doses of the compounds required to prevent or arrest the progress of or to treat the medical condition are readily ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art using preclinical and clinical approaches familiar to the medicinal arts.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of treating conditions mediated by selectively inhibiting or antagonizing the avps and/or avés5 cela surface receptor which method comprises administering a therapeutical effective amount of a compound selected from the class of compounds depicted in the above formulas, wherein one or more compound is administered in association with one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutical acceptable carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein as"carrier" materials) and if desired other active ingredients. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for selective antagonism of the avß3 and/or avp5 cell surface receptors over alibis3 or avpe integrin receptors.

Based upon standard laboratory experimental techniques and procedures well known and appreciated by those skilled in the art, as well as comparisons with compounds of known usefulness, the compounds of Formulas I-lXd can be used in the treatment of patients suffering from the above pathological conditions.

One skilled in the art will recognize that selection of the most appropriate compound of the invention is within the ability of one with ordinary skill in the art and will depend on a variety of factors including assessment of results obtained in standard assay and animal models.

Treatment of a patient afflicted with one of the pathological conditions comprises administering to such a patient an amount of compound of Formulas I- IX which is therapeutical effective in controlling the condition or in prolonging the survivability of the patient beyond that expected in the absence of such treatment.

As used herein, the term"inhibition"of the condition refers to slowing, interrupting, arresting or stopping the condition and does not necessarily indicate a total elimination of the condition. It is believed that prolonging the survivability of a patient, beyond being a significant advantageous effect in and of itself, also indicates that the condition is beneficially controlled to some extent.

As stated previously, the compounds of the invention can be used in a variety of biological, prophylactic or therapeutic areas. It is contemplated that these compounds are useful in prevention or treatment of any disease state or condition wherein the CCVP3 and/or av ? 5 integrin plays a role.

The dosage regimen for the compounds and/or compositions containing the compounds is based on a variety of factors, including the type, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition; the route of administration; and the activity of the particular compound employed. Thus the dosage regimen may vary widely. Dosage levels of the order from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day are useful in the treatment of the above-indicated conditions.

Oral delivery of an avps and/or avé5 inhibitor of the present invention can include formulations, as are well known in the art, to provide prolonged or sustained delivery of the drug to the gastrointestinal tract by any number of mechanisms. These include, but are not limited to, pH sensitive release from the dosage form based on the changing pH of the small intestine, slow erosion of a tablet or capsule, retention in the stomach based on the physical properties of the formulation, bioadhesion of the dosage form to the mucosal lining of the intestinal tract, or enzymatic release of the active drug from the dosage form. Thus, enteric-coated and enteric-coated controlled release formulations are within the scope of the present invention. Suitable enteric coatings include cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinylacetate phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate and anionic polymers of methacrylic acid and methacrylic acid methyl ester.

Oral dosages of the present invention, when used for the indicated effects, will range between about 0.01 mg per kg of body weight per day (mg/kg/day) to about 100 mg/kg/day, preferably 0.01 to 10 mg/kg/day, and most preferably 0.1 to 1.0 mg/kg/day. For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets containing 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, 50.0, 100,200 and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. A medicament typically contains from about 0.01 mg to about 500 mg of the active ingredient, preferably, from about 1 mg to about 100 mg of active ingredient. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will range from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion.

Advantageously, 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. Furthermore, preferred compounds for the present invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittant throughout the dosage regiment.

For administration to a mammal in need of such treatment, the compounds in a therapeutical effective amount are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to the indicated route of administration. The compounds may be admixed with, for example, lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulphuric acids, gelatin, acacia, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and tableted or encapsulated for convenient administration.

Alternatively, the compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art.

The pharmaceutical compositions useful in the present invention may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain conventional pharmaceutical adjuvants such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers, etc.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for oral administration can be presented in discrete units, such as capsules, cachets, lozenges, or tablets, each containing a predetermined amount of at least one compound of the present invention; as a powder or granules ; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion. As indicated, such compositions can be prepared by any suitable method of pharmacy which includes the step of bringing into association the active compound (s) and the carrier (which can constitute one or more accessory ingredients). In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active compound with a liquid or finely divided solid carrier, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product. For example, a tablet can be prepared by compressing or molding a powder or granules of the compound, optionally with one or more assessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, the compound in a free-flowing form, such as a powder or granules optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent and/or surface active/dispersing agent (s). Molded tablets can be made by molding, in a suitable machine, the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for buccal (sub-lingual) administration include lozenges comprising a compound of the present invention in a flavored base, usually sucrose, and acacia or tragacanth, and pastilles comprising the compound in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration conveniently comprise sterile aqueous preparations of a compound of the present invention. These preparations are preferably administered intravenously, although administration can also be effected by means of subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intradermal injection. Such preparations can conveniently be prepared by admixing the compound with water and rendering the resulting solution sterile and isotonic with the blood. Injectable compositions according to the invention will generally contain from 0.1 to 5% w/w of a compound disclosed herein.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for topical application to the skin preferably take the form of an ointment, cream, lotion, paste, gel, spray, aerosol, or oil. Carriers which can be used include Vaseline, lanolin, polyethylene glycols, alcohols, and combinations of two or more thereof. The active compound is generally present at a concentration of from 0.1 to 15% w/w of the composition, for example, from 0.5 to 2%.

Transdermal administration is also possible. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for transdermal administration can be presented as discrete patches adapted to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period of time. Such patches suitably contain a compound of the present invention in an optionally buffered, aqueous solution, dissolved and/or dispersed in an adhesive, or dispersed in a polymer. A suitable concentration of the active compound is about 1 % to 35%, preferably about 3% to 15%. As one particular possibility, the compound can be delivered from the patch by electrotransport or iontophoresis, for example, as described in Pharmaceutical Research, 3 (6), 318 (1986).

In any case, the amount of active ingredient that can be combined with carrier materials to produce a single dosage form to be administered will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration.

The solid dosage forms for oral administration including capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules noted above comprise one or more compounds of the present invention admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as in normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e. g. , lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.

The term"therapeutically effective amount"shall mean that amount of drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system or animal that is being sought by a researcher or clinician.

Synthetic Methods In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method of synthesizing substituted 3-guanidinoaryl and 3-guanidinoheteroaryl carboxylic acids useful for the preparation of, for example, compounds of the present invention. This synthetic scheme is described in Schemes AA and BB, and Examples AA-QQ.

Examples The general synthetic sequences for preparing the compounds useful in the present invention are outlined in Schemes A-C, and, more specifically, in Schemes 1-8, and Examples 1-71. Both an explanation of, and the actual procedures for, the various embodiments of the present invention are described where appropriate. The following Schemes and Examples are intended to be illustrative of the present invention. Those with skill in the art will readily understand that known variations of the conditions and processes described in the Schemes and Examples can be used to synthesize the compounds of the present invention.

Briefly, this entails the reaction of benzoylisothiocyanate with substituted aminoaryl acid to give the N- benzoylthiourea in quantitative yield. The N-benzoyl group can be removed by reaction with sodium methoxide to give the thiourea. The N-benzoyl group is removed as the volatile methyl benzoate. The thiourea can be isolated and treated with iodomethane or the crude reaction mixture (as shown in EXAMPLE D) can be converted to the isothiourea by reacting with iodomethane. The isothiourea is then treated with various diamino compounds to afford the desired substituted tetrahydropyrimidinylaminoaryl acids. The method can also be extended for the synthesis of tetrahydrodiazepines by reacting with substituted co, o'-diaminobutanes. This method has been found to be general in scope as shown in EXAMPLES A- ! and SCHEMES 1-8.

Briefly, instead of reacting with benzoylisothiocyanate, the aminoaryl acid can also be reacted with methylisothiocyanate to afford the methyl substituted thiourea. The advantage of this method is that it avoids the debenzoylation step.

The N-methyl-S-methylisothiourea upon reaction with 2-hydroxy-1,3- diaminobutane gives the desired 5-hydroxytetra-hydropyrimidinylaminoaryl acid group. Both the N-methyl group and the S-methyl groups are removed during the reaction as volatile by-products.

VITRONECTIN ADHESION ASSAY MATERIALS Human vitronectin receptors OCVß3 and amp5 were purified from human placenta as previously described [Pytela et al., Methods in Enzymology, 144: 475- 489 (1987) ]. Human vitronectin was purified from fresh frozen plasma as previously described [Yatohgo et al., Cell Structure and Function, 13: 281-292 (1988) ]. Biotinylated human vitronectin was prepared by coupling NHS-biotin from Pierce Chemical Company (Rockford, IL) to purified vitronectin as previously described [Charo et al., J. Biol. Chem., 266 (3): 1415-1421 (1991) ]. Assay buffer, OPD substrate tablets, and RIA grade BSA were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Anti-biotin antibody was obtained from Sigma (St. Luois, MO). Nalge Nunc- Immuno microtiter plates were obtained from Nalge Company (Rochester, NY).

METHODS Solid Phase Receptor Assays This assay was essentially the same as previously reported [Niiya et al., Blood, 70: 475-483 (1987) ]. The purified human vitronectin receptors avps and aVP5 were diluted from stock solutions to 1.0 p. g/mL in Tris-buffered saline containing 1.0 mM Ca++, Mg++, and Mn++, pH 7.4 (TBS+++). The diluted receptors were immediately transferred to Nalge Nunc-Immuno microtiter plates at 100 pL/well (100 ng receptor/well). The plates were sealed and incubated overnight at 4°C to allow the receptors to bind to the wells. All remaining steps were at room temperature. The assay plates were emptied and 200 pL of 1 % RIA grade BSA in TBS+++ (TBS+++/BSA) were added to block exposed plastic surfaces.

Following a 2 hour incubation, the assay plates were washed with TBS+++ using a 96 well plate washer. Logarithmic serial dilution of the test compound and controls were made starting at a stock concentration of 2 mM and using 2 nM biotinylated vitronectin in TBS+++/BSA as the diluent. This premixing of labeled ligand with test (or control) ligand, and subsequent transfer of 50 IlL aliquots to the assay plate was carried out with a CETUS Propette robot; the final concentration of the labeled ligand was 1 nM and the highest concentration of test compound was 1.0 x 10-4 M. The competition occurred for two hours after which all wells were washed with a plate washer as before. Affinity purified horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-biotin antibody was diluted 1: 2000 in TBS+++/BSA and 125 pL was added to each well. After 45 minutes, the plates were washed and incubated with OPD/H202 substrate in 100 mM/L Citrate buffer, pH 5.0. The plate was read with a microtiter plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm and when the maximum-binding control wells reached an absorbance of about 1.0, the final A450 were recorded for analysis. The data were analyzed using a macro written for use with the EXCEL spreadsheet program. The mean, standard deviation, and % CV were determined for duplicate concentrations. The mean A450 values were normalized to the mean of four maximum-binding controls (no competitor added) (B-MAX). The normalized values were subjected to a four parameter curve fit algorithm [Rodbard et al., Int. Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, pp 469 (1977) ], plotted on a semi-log scale, and the computed concentration corresponding to inhibition of 50% of the maximum binding of biotinylated vitronectin (IC50) and corresponding R2 was reported for those compounds exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at the highest concentration tested; otherwise the IC50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested. ß-[[2-[[5-[(aminoiminomethyl)amino]-1-oxopentyl]amino]-1- oxoethyl] amino] -3-pyridinepropanoic acid [US 5,602, 155 Example 1] which is a potent amp3 antagonist (IC50 in the range 3-10 nM) was included on each plate as a positive control.

METHODS Solid Phase Receptor Assays This assay is essentially the same reported in Niiya, K. , Hodson, E. , Bader, R. , Byers-Ward, V. Koziol, J. A., Plow, E. F. and Ruggeri, Z. M.,"Increased surface expression of the membrane glycoprotein Ilb/Illa complex induced by platelet activation: Relationships to the binding of fibrinogen and platelet aggregation", Blood 70 (1987): 475-483. The purified human fibrinogen receptor (llb/lila) was diluted from stock solutions to 1.0 pg/mL in Tris-buffered saline containing 1.0 mM Ca++, Mg++, and Mn++, pH 7.4 (TBS+++). The diluted receptor was immediately transferred to Nalge Nunc-Immuno microtiter plates at 100 pL/well (100 ng receptor/well).

This premixing of labeled ligand with test (or control) ligand, and subsequent transfer of 50 I1L aliquots to the assay plate was carried out with a CETUS Propette robot; the final concentration of the labeled ligand was 1 nM and the highest concentration of test compound was 1.0 x 10-4 M. The competition occurred for two hours after which all wells were washed with a plate washer as before. Affinity purified horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-biotin antibody was diluted 1: 2000 in TBS+++/BSA and 125 L were added to each well. After 45 minutes, the plates were washed and incubated with ODD/H202 substrate in 100 mM/L citrate buffer, pH 5.0. The plate was read with a microtiter plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm and when the maximum-binding control wells reached an absorbance of about 1.0, the final A450 were recorded for analysis. The data were analyzed using a macro written for use with the EXCELJ spreadsheet program. The mean, standard deviation, and % CV were determined for duplicate concentrations. The mean A450 values were normalized to the mean of four maximum-binding controls (no competitor added) (B-MAX).

Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, pp 469 (1977) ], plotted on a semi-log scale, and the computed concentration corresponding to inhibition of 50% of the maximum binding of biotinylated vitronectin (IC5o) and corresponding R2 was reported for those compounds exhibiting greater than 50% inhibition at the highest concentration tested; otherwise the IC50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested. (3- [ [2- [ [5- [ (aminoimino-methyl) amino]-1-oxopentyl] amino]-1-oxoethyl] amino] - 3-pyridinepropanoic acid, bistrifluoroacetate salt [US 5,602, 155 Example 1] which is a potent llb/llla antagonist (IC50 in the range 8-18 nM) was included on each plate as a positive control.

Human Platelet Rich Plasma Assays Healthy aspirin free donors were selected from a pool of volunteers. The harvesting of platelet rich plasma and subsequent ADP induced platelet aggregation assays were performed as described in Zucker, M. B.,"Platelet Aggregation Measured by the Photometric Method", Methods in En7 mono 169 (1989): 117-133. Standard venipuncture techniques using a butterfly allowed the withdrawal of 45 mL of whole blood into a 60 mL syringe containing 5 mL of 3. 8% trisodium citrate. Following thorough mixing in the syringe, the anti- coagulated whole blood was transferred to a 50 mL conical polyethylene tube.

The blood was centrifuged at room temperature for 12 minutes at 200 xg to sediment non-platelet cells. Platelet rich plasma was removed to a polyethylene tube and stored at room temperature until used. Platelet poor plasma was obtained from a second centrifugation of the remaining blood at 2000 xg for 15 minutes. Platelet counts are typically 300,000 to 500,000 per microliter. Platelet rich plasma (0.45 mL) was aliquote into siliconized cuvettes and stirred (1100 rpm) at 37°C for 1 minute prior to adding 50 uL of pre-diluted test compound.

After 1 minute of mixing, aggregation was initiated by the addition of 50 uL of 200 uM ADP. Aggregation was recorded for 3 minutes in a Payton dual channel aggregometer (Payton Scientific, Buffalo, NY). The percent inhibition of maximal response (saline control) for a series of test compound dilutions was used to determine a dose response curve. All compounds were tested in duplicate and the concentration of half-maximal inhibition (IC50) was calculated graphically from the dose response curve for those compounds which exhibited 50% or greater inhibition at the highest concentration tested; otherwise, the IC50 is reported as being greater than the highest concentration tested.

Cell Assays for Potency and Selectivity While the ß3 subunit of avß3 is only known to complex with av or alib, the av subunit complexes with multiple P subunits. The three av integrins most homologous with avps are aval, °eVß5 and avpe, with 43%, 56% and 47 % amino acid identity in the P subunits, respectively. To evaluate the selectivity of compounds between the integrins avps and avés6, cell-based assays were established using the 293 human embryonic kidney cell line. 293 cells express av but little to no detectable avps or avß6. cDNAs for ß3 and Pe were transfected separately into 293 cells to generate 293-p3 and 293-ß6 cells, respectively. High surface expression of ap3 and avpe was confirmed by flow cytometry. Conditions were established for each cell line in which cell adhesion to immobilized human vitronectin was mediated by the appropriate integrin, as determined by a panel of integrin-specific, neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Briefly, cells were incubated with inhibitor in the presence of 200uM Mn2+, allowed to adhere to immobilized vitronectin, washed, and adherent cells are detected endogenous alkaline phosphatase and para-nitrophenyl phosphate. An 8-point dose-response curve using either 1 0-fold or 3-fold dilutions of compound was evaluated by fitting a four-parameter logistic, nonlinear model (using SAS).

To evaluate compound potency for membrane-bound aVP6 an additional cell-based adhesion assay was established using the HT-29 human colon carcinoma cell line. High surface expression of 0tVß6 on HT-29 cells was confirmed by flow cytometry. Conditions were established in which cell adhesion to immobilized human latency associated peptide (LAP) was mediated by the avés6, as determined by a panel of integrin-specific, neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Briefly, cells were incubated with inhibitor in the presence of 200uM Mn2+, allowed to adhere to immobilized LAP, washed, and adherent cells are detected by quantifying endogenous alkaline phosphatase using para-nitrophenyl phosphate. An 8-point dose-response curve using either 1 0-fold or 3-fold dilutions of compound was evaluated by fitting a four-parameter logistic, nonlinear model (using SAS). The compounds evaluated were relatively ineffective at inhibition of αVß6-mediated cell adhesion.
