Definitions
- This invention relates to methods for inhibiting angiogenesis and tumor growth. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of inhibiting angiogenesis and tumor growth utilizing a compounds that selectively bind to integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 and blocks the interaction of integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 with matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2).
- MMP2 matrix metalloproteinase 2
- MMP2 and its activator membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1- MMP) are coordinately expressed by mesenchymal cells almost exclusively during embryonic development, indicating specific matrix remodeling constraints in these tissues.
- angiogenesis and corresponding tumor growth are reduced in MMP2 knockout mice (see Itoh et al., Cancer Res., 58 1048-51
- MMP2 The negative regulation of MMP2 during vascular invasion and maturation was later shown by Brooks et al. to be dependent upon expression of ⁇ v ⁇ 3 (Cell, 92, 391-400 (1998)). Although inhibition of angiogenesis and concomitant suppression of tumor growth by natural as well as synthetic inhibitors of MMP's, including MMP2, has been documented, the translation of such strategies into clinical modalities has met with limited success, primarily due to the deleterious side effects of such broad spectrum inhibitors. Since MMP function, in general, may be required for many processes in the adult organism, active site inhibition of enzymatic function is likely to have far reaching effects on various biological processes involving tissue remodeling, such as wound healing.
- the present invention provides a method for the inhibition of the interaction of MMP2 with integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 and a method for inhibition of angiogenesis in cells containing integrin v ⁇ 3 . Further, the invention provides a method for inhibition of tumor growth by administration of MMP2- ⁇ v ⁇ 3 interaction inhibitors. Active inhibitor compounds represented by Formula (I), below, are contacted with integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 on a cell, which, in turn, inhibits the binding of MMP2 to the v ⁇ 3 .
- the inhibition of binding of MMPS to ⁇ v ⁇ 3 by the methods of the present invention result in inhibition of angiogenesis and thus tumor growth.
- ⁇ v ⁇ 3 has been implicated in inflammation, thus compounds of Formula (I), used in accordance with the methods of the present invention can also suppress inflammatory events.
- G 1 and G 2 are each independently -NH-C(O)-O-R 1 ,
- Y 1 and Y 2 are each independently -OH, C r C 4 alkyl,
- R 1 is C r C 4 alkyl
- X 1 and X 2 are each independently halo or C r C 4 alkoxy
- X 3 is halo, nitro, C r C 4 alkyl, C 1 - C 4 alkoxy, or C_ - C 4 perfluoroalkyl
- A is H or a covalent
- R 2 and R 3 are each independently H, Cj - C 4 alkyl, phenyl or benzyl; X 1 and X 2 are each independently halo or C r C 4 alkoxy; X 4 and X 5 are each independently halo, nitro, Cj - C 4 alkoxy, C t - C 4 alkyl, or C x - C 4 perfluoroalkyl; A is H or a covalent bond; p and r are each independently an integer having a value of 1 or 2; and t is an integer having a value of 0 or 1 with the proviso that when A is H, t is 0 and when A is a covalent bond, t is 1. When A is a covalent bond and t is 1, the iminodiacetamide derivative moieties may be attached to the benzene linking group in the ortho, meta or para position.
- angiogenesis and tumor growth inhibiting compounds of the present invention are thus useful therapeutic agents for the treatment of patients with tumors or angiogenic disorders. Because the present compounds bind to ⁇ v ⁇ 3 , these compounds can also be used to suppress inflammatory events.
- the compounds of the present invention may be formulated in suitable pharmaceutically acceptable matrix.
- the pharmaceutical compositions of the active compounds are administered to a patient with a tumor to reduce or eliminate tumor growth.
- the active compounds can be administered parenterally by injection or by gradual infusion over time, or by any other method suitable for the particular dosage form.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration depicting MMP2 interaction with integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 and its role in angiogenesis.
- FIG. 2 depicts the structural subunits A, B and C of a combinatorial library of 600 compounds disclosed in Boger et al. , Bioorg. Med. Chem, 6, 1347-1378 (1998).
- FIG. 3 graphically illustrates the binding of 60 combinatorial mixtures of compounds with integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 in competition with MMP2.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the binding of mixtures AxBlO with integrin v ⁇ 3 and the binding of the 10 individual components of A6B10C4.
- FIG. 5 depicts the structures of analogs of A6B10C4.
- FIG. 6A graphically illustrates the binding of analogs (Compounds 2 - 26) of A6B10C4 (Compound 1) with integrin v ⁇ 3 in competition with MMP2.
- FIG. 6B graphically illustrates the binding of Compounds 9 and 19 with integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 in comparison with MMP2.
- FIG. 7 illustrates that [ 14 C]-labeled Compound 19 binds specifically to ⁇ v ⁇ 3 and can be competitively displaced from the ⁇ v ⁇ 3 by a 25 fold excess of non-labeled Compound 19, but not by excess Compound 9, a RGD peptide or a c(RGDfV) peptide.
- FIG. 8 shows that Compound 19 disrupts the binding of MMP2 to integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 , but does not interfere with vitronectin binding with integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 .
- FIG. 9 shows that Compound 19 does not directly inhibit purified active MMP2 proteolysis.
- the binding of MMP2 to integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 is an important mechanism in the process of angiogenesis. Specific inhibition of this binding interaction results in a reduction in vascularization in growing tissues such as tumors, and thus retards tumor growth.
- the interaction of MMP2 with integrin ⁇ v ⁇ 3 is illustrated pictorially in FIG. 1.

- the individual AB compounds were then coupled to mixtures of ten different C linking groups, to form 60 mixtures of 10 compounds each, designated AxBy wherein the x and y denote the individual A and B subunits, respectively, that were incorporated into the compounds of the mixtures.
- the A, B and C subunits of the combinatorial library of compounds are shown in FIG. 2.
- the results of the evaluation assay are presented in FIG. 3.
- the particularly active mixtures included A1B6, A1B7, A1B8, A4B1, A5B4, A5B5, A5B6, A5B10, and A6B10.
- the most active mixture was A6B10, therefore, the ten individual compounds of the mixture were synthesized separately and examined in the same assay, the results of which are presented in FIG 4. All of the individual components A6B10C1 through A6B10C10 were active at a 3 ⁇ M concentration in the assay. Analogs Compounds (2 - 26) of A6B10C4 (Compound 1), shown in FIG 5, were also evaluated. The results of the binding assays for Compounds 2 - 26 are presented in FIG. 6A. All of the compounds except Compounds 8, 9 and 23 inhibited MMP2 binding to integrin.
- the active MMP2 / integrin- ⁇ v - ⁇ 3 binding inhibitors of present invention are encompassed by Formulas (I) and (II).
- Compound 19 was examined in detail to determine its specific target and to define its biological properties. Benzoyl amide Compound 9 was selected as an appropriate negative control compound for many of these studies since it was found to lack antagonist activity in the binding assay, despite its overall structural similarity and similar physical properties (e.g. solubility and hydrophobicity). Compound 19 exhibited concentration dependent inhibition of binding of MMP2 to integrin as shown in FIG. 6B.
- a radiolabel ( 14 C) was incorporated into Compound 19 in the ester substituent (relative activity approx. 104 mCi/mmol). After incubation (at 3 ⁇ M) with fixed ⁇ v ⁇ 3 and subsequent washing, this compound was found to adhere to the integrin as demonstrated in FIG 7. Incubation in the presence of a 25-fold molar excess of cold Compound 19 significantly reduced the observed amount of bound agent, whereas incubation in the presence of a 25-fold molar excess of (cold) control Compound 9 did not affect the binding of [ 14 C] -Compound 19. In a similar experiment measuring the interaction of [ 14 C] -Compound 19 to fixed MMP2, no binding was observed.
- Compound 19 was also studied in a cellular assay, which measures the ability of endothelial cells to utilize MMP2 to degrade a protein matrix, a key step in angiogenesis. It has been shown previously that disrupting the binding of MMP2 to ⁇ v ⁇ 3 inhibits collagen IV degradation. CS-1 melanoma cells transfected with ⁇ v ⁇ 3 were found to degrade immobilized [ 3 H]-collagen IV far above the degradation of ⁇ 3 negative CS-1 cells (which lack ⁇ v ⁇ 3 ). As shown in FIG. 9, treatment of these cells with Compound 19 significantly diminished the increased matrix degradation, consistent with the cells being unable to utilize MMP2, which is not bound to the integrin surface. Compound 19 did not, however, directly inhibit MMP2's proteolytic activity, as purified (active) enzyme in the absence cells was able to degrade [ 3 H] -collagen IV to a similar extent in the presence or absence of the Compound 19.
