Page/Page column 113, (2008/06/13)
The present invention is directed toward pyridyl derivatives of formula (I) as antagonists of the mGlu5 receptor. As such the compounds may be useful for treatment or prevention of disorders remedied by antagonism of the mGlu5 receptor, wherein Ar is phenyl or napthyl each of which may be substituted by one or more C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C5 acyl, halo, amino, nitro, cyano, hydroxy, C1-C5 acylamino, C1-C4 alkylsulfonylamino, mono-, di- or trifluorinated C1-C3 alkyl, substituents which may be the same or different and may bear a CONH2, CONHCH3, CON(CH3)2, CO2H, CO2CH3, OCF3, CH2NHCOCH3, CH2NH2, CH2N(CH3)2, CH2CN, CH2OH, CH2NHSO2CH3, CH2N(CH3)(CH2)2 CN, CH2N(CH3)CH(CH3)2, CH2NHCH(CH3)2, CH2NH(CH2)2CH3, CH2NHCO2R4, CH2NHCH2CH3, CH2NHCH3 NHCOC(CH3)2, or N(S(O)2CH3)2 substituent; R1 is hydrogen, halo, R4, CN, C(NOH)R3, C(NO-R4)R3, (CH)2CO2R4 , (CH2)n OR3 , COR3 , CF3,SR4 , S(O)R4, S(O)2R4, COCH2CO2R3 , NHSO2R4 , NHCOR3, C(NOR3)NH2, CH2OCOR3,(CH2)n NH2, CON(CH3)2 (CH2)nNHCO2R4 , CO2R3, CONH2, CSNH2, C(NH)NHOR3, (CH2)nN(CH3)2, or CONHNHCOR3; R2 is 1,2-ethenediyl or 1,2-ethynediyl; R3 is hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl; R4 is C1-C4 alkyl; and n is 0, 1, 2,3 or 4; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or an N-oxide thereof.

Although intravenously administered antiplatelet fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb/IIIa) antagonists have become established in the acute-care clinical setting for the prevention of thrombosis, orally administered drugs for chronic use are still under development. Herein, we present details from our exploration of structure-activity surrounding the prototype fibrinogen receptor antagonist RWJ-50042 (racemate of 1), which was derived from a unique approach involving the γ-chain of fibrinogen (Hoekstra et al. J. Med. Chem. 1995, 38, 1582). Our analogue studies culminated in the discovery of RWJ-53308 (2), a potent, orally active GPIIb/IIIa antagonist. To progress from RWJ-50042 to a suitable candidate for clinical development, we conducted a series of optimization cycles that employed solid-phase parallel synthesis for the rapid, efficient preparation of nearly 250 analogues, which were assayed for fibrinogen receptor affinity and inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by four different activators. This strategy produced several promising analogues for advanced study, including 3-(3,4- methylenedioxybenzene)-β-amino acid analogue 3 (significant improved in vivo potency) and 3-(3-pyridyl)-β-amino acid 2 (significantly improved potency, oral absorption, and duration of action). In dogs, 2 displayed significant ex vivo antiplatelet activity on oral administration at 1.0 mg/kg, 16% systemic oral bioavailability, minimal metabolic transformation, and an excellent safety profile. Additionally, 2 was found to be efficacious in three in vivo thrombosis models: canine arteriovenous (AV) shunt (0.01-0.1 mg/kg, iv), guinea pig photoactivation-induced injury (0.3-3 mg/kg, iv), and guinea pig ferric chloride-induced injury (0.3-1 mg/kg, iv). On the basis of its noteworthy preclinical data, RWJ-53308 (2) was selected for clinical evaluation.
