PCT No. PCT/GB96/00352 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 30, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 30, 1998 PCT Filed Feb. 15, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/25427 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 22, 1996This invention is directed to peptide inhibitors of serine proteases, espcecially thrombin, in which the P1-P2 natural amide linkage is replaced by another bond. Exemplary thrombin inhibitors have the formula: X-(aa3)-(aa2)- psi -(aa1)-Z wherein X is H or a substituent on the N-terminal amino group, aa3 is a hydrophobic amino acid, aa23 is Pro, aa1 is Arg or an Arg analgoue, Z is -COOH or a heteroatom acid group and psi is a non-amide linkage.

Reaction of alkyl/arylsulfonyl halides with glycine afforded a series of derivatives which were first N-benzylated by treatment with benzyl chloride, and then converted to the corresponding hydroxamic acids with hydroxylamine in the presence of carbodiimide derivatives. Other derivatives were obtained by reaction of N-benzyl-glycine with aryl isocyanates, arylsulfonyl isocyanates or benzoyl isothiocyanate, followed by conversion of their COOH group into the CONHOH moiety, as mentioned above. The 90 new compounds reported here were assayed as inhibitors of the Clostridium histolyticum collagenase (EC 3.4.24.3), a zinc enzyme which degrades triple helical regions of native collagen. The prepared hydroxamate derivatives were generally 100-500 times more active than the corresponding carboxylates. In the series of synthesized hydroxamates, substitution patterns leading to the best inhibitors were those involving perfluoroalkylsulfonyl- and substituted- arylsulfonyl moieties, such as pentafluorophenylsulfonyl, 3- and 4- carboxyphenylsulfonyl-, 3-trifluoromethyl-phenylsulfonyl or 1- and 2-naphthyl among others. Thus, it seems that similarly to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) hydroxamate inhibitors, Clostridium histolyticum collagenase inhibitors should incorporate hydrophobic moieties at the P1, and P2, sites, whereas the α-carbon substituent may be a small and compact moiety (such as H. for the Gly derivatives reported here). Such compounds might lead to the design of collagenase inhibitor-based drugs useful as anti-cancer, anti-arthritis or anti-bacterial agents for the treatment of corneal keratitis.

Thrombin, a serine protease, plays a central role in the initiation and propagation of thrombotic events. An extensive search for new thrombin inhibitors was performed, using an unconventional approach. Screening of small basic molecules for binding in th
