BACKGROUND

[0001] The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutically useful products obtainable from organoboronic acids. The disclosure also relates to the use of members of the aforesaid class of products, to their formulation, their preparation, their synthetic intermediates and to other subject matter.

[0002] The disclosure further relates to oral pharmaceutical formulations containing the described products.

[0003] Boronic Acid Compounds

[0004] It has been known for some years that boronic acid compounds and their derivatives, e.g. esters, have biological activities, notably as inhibitors or substrates of proteases. For example, Koehler et al. Biochemistry 10:2477, 1971 report that 2-phenylethane boronic acid inhibits the serine protease chymotrypsin at millimolar levels. The inhibition of chymotrypsin and subtilisin by arylboronic acids (phenylboronic acid, m-nitro-phenylboronic acid, m-aminophenylboronic acid, m-bromophenylboronic acid) is reported by Phillip et al, Proc. Nat Acad. Sci. USA 68:478-480, 1971. A study of the inhibition of subtilisin Carlsberg by a variety of boronic acids, especially phenyl boronic acids substituted by Cl, Br, CH.sub.3, H.sub.2N, MeO and others, is described by Seufer-Wasserthal et al, Biorg. Med. Chem. 2(1):35-48, 1994.

[0005] In describing inhibitors or substrates of proteases, P1, P2, P3, etc. designate substrate or inhibitor residues which are amino-terminal to the scissile peptide bond, and S1, S2, S3, etc., designate the corresponding subsites of the cognate protease in accordance with: Schechter, I. and Berger, A. On the Size of the Active Site in Proteases, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., 27:157-162, 1967. In thrombin, the S1 binding site or "specificity pocket" is a well defined slit in the enzyme, whilst the S2 and S3 binding subsites (also respectively called the proximal and distal hydrophobic pockets) are hydrophobic and interact strongly with, respectively, Pro and (R)-Phe, amongst others.

[0006] Pharmaceutical research into serine protease inhibitors has moved from the simple arylboronic acids to boropeptides, i.e. peptides containing a boronic acid analogue of an .alpha.-amino carboxylic acid. The boronic acid may be derivatised, often to form an ester. Shenvi (EP-A-145441 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,082) disclosed that peptides containing an .alpha.-aminoboronic acid with a neutral side chain were effective inhibitors of elastase and has been followed by numerous patent publications relating to boropeptide inhibitors of serine proteases. Specific, tight binding boronic acid inhibitors have been reported for elastase (K.sub.i, 0.25 nM), chymotrypsin (K.sub.i, 0.25 nM), cathepsin G (K.sub.i, 21 nM), .alpha.-lytic protease (K.sub.i, 0.25 nM), dipeptidyl aminopeptidase type IV (K.sub.i, 16 pM) and more recently thrombin (Ac-D-Phe-Pro-boroArg-OH (DuP 714 initial K.sub.i 1.2 nM).

[0007] Claeson et al (U.S. Pat. No. 5,574,014 and others) and Kakkar et al (WO 92/07869 and family members including U.S. Pat. No. 5,648,338) disclose thrombin inhibitors having a neutral C-terminal side chain, for example an alkyl or alkoxyalkyl side chain.

[0008] Modifications of the compounds described by Kakkar et al are included in WO 96/25427, directed to peptidyl serine protease inhibitors in which the P2-P1 natural peptide linkage is replaced by another linkage. As examples of non-natural peptide linkages may be mentioned --CO.sub.2--, --CH.sub.2O--, --NHCO--, --CHYCH.sub.2--, --CH.dbd.CH--, --CO(CH.sub.2).sub.pCO-- where p is 1, 2 or 3, --COCHY--, --CO.sub.2--CH.sub.2NH--, --CHY--NX--, --N(X)CH.sub.2--N(X)CO--, --CH.dbd.C(CN)CO--, --CH(OH)--NH--, --CH(CN)--NH--, --CH(OH)--CH.sub.2-- or --NH--CHOH--, where X is H or an amino protecting group and Y is H or halogen, especially F. Particular non-natural peptide linkages are --CO.sub.2-- or --CH.sub.2O--.

[0009] Metternich (EP 471651 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,707, the latter being assigned to Trigen Limited) discloses variants of Phe-Pro-BoroArg boropeptides in which the P3 Phe is replaced by an unnatural hydrophobic amino acid such as trimethylsilylalanine, p-tert.butyl-diphenyl-silyloxym- ethylphenylalanine or p-hydroxymethylphenylalanine and the P1 side chain may be neutral (alkoxyalkyl, alkylthioalkyl or trimethylsilylalkyl).

[0010] The replacement of the P2 Pro residue of borotripeptide thrombin inhibitors by an N-substituted glycine is described in Fevig J M et al Bioorg. Med. Chem. 8: 301-306 and Rupin A et al Thromb. Haemost. 78(4): 1221-1227, 1997. See also U.S. Pat. No. 5,585,360 (de Nanteuil et al).

[0011] Amparo (WO 96/20698 and family members including U.S. Pat. No. 5,698,538) discloses peptidomimetics of the structure Aryl-linker-Boro(Aa), where Boro(Aa) may be an aminoboronate residue with a non-basic side chain, for example BoroMpg. The linker is of the formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.mCONR-- (where m is 0 to 8 and R is H or certain organic groups) or analogues thereof in which the peptide linkage --CONR-- is replaced by --CSNR--, --SO.sub.2NR--, --CO.sub.2--, --C(S)O-- or --SO.sub.2O--. Aryl is phenyl, naphthyl or biphenyl substituted by one, two or three moieties selected from a specified group. Most typically these compounds are of the structure Aryl-(CH.sub.2).sub.n--CONH--CHR.sup- .2--BY.sup.1.gamma.2, where R.sup.2 is for example a neutral side chain as described above and n is 0 or 1.

[0012] Non-peptide boronates have been proposed as inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes in detergent compositions. WO 92/19707 and WO 95/12655 report that arylboronates can be used as inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes in detergent compositions. WO 92/19707 discloses compounds substituted meta to the boronate group by a hydrogen bonding group, especially acetamido (--NHCOCH.sub.3), sufonamido (--NHSO.sub.2CH.sub.3) and alkylamino. WO 95/12655 teaches that ortho-substituted compounds are superior.

[0013] Boronate enzyme inhibitors have wide application, from detergents to bacterial sporulation inhibitors to pharmaceuticals. In the pharmaceutical field, there is patent literature describing boronate inhibitors of serine proteases, for example thrombin, factor Xa, kallikrein, elastase, plasmin as well as other serine proteases like prolyl endopeptidase and Ig AI Protease. Thrombin is the last protease in the coagulation pathway and acts to hydrolyse four small peptides form each molecule of fibrinogen, thus deprotecting its polymerisation sites. Once formed, the linear fibrin polymers may be cross-linked by factor XIIIa, which is itself activated by thrombin. In addition, thrombin is a potent activator of platelets, upon which it acts at specific receptors. Thrombin also potentiates its own production by the activation of factors V and VIII.

[0014] Other aminoboronate or peptidoboronate inhibitors or substrates of serine proteases are described in:
