HYDANTOIN DERIVATIVES FOR THE TREATMENT OF ' INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVEMTIOW Fisld of the Invention
This invention relates generally to novel hydantoin derivatives that can inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs) and/or tumor necrosis factor alpha - converting enzyme (TACE) and in so doing prevent the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-Q), pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of treatment using such compounds.
Description
Osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis (OA and RA, respectively) are destructive diseases of articular cartilage characterized by localized erosion of the cartilage surface. Findings have shown thai artkxjiar cartilage fron the femoral heads of patients with GA: for example, had a -educed hxooration of radiolabeled sulfate over controls, suaaestina that there mjs; re ar enhanced rate of callage degradation in OA 'Mankr e: a;, c.

Metalloproteases (MPs) have been implicated as the key e^x/mes in the destruction of mammalian cartilage and bone, it can be expecte:: that the pathogenesis of such diseases can be modified in a beneficiai manner by the administration of MP inhibitors (see Wahl et ai. Ann. Rep. Med. Chem. 25: 175-184, AP, San Diego.. 1990).

\\f\MPs are a family of over 20 different enzymes that are involved in a variety of biological processes important in the uncontrolled breakdown of connective tissue, including proteoglycan and collagen, leading to resorption of the extracellular matrix. This is a feature of many pathological conditions, such as RA and OA, corneal, epidermal or gastric ulceration; tumor metastasis or invasion; periodontal disease and bone disease. Normally these catabolic enzymes are tightly regulated at the level of their synthesis as well as at their level of extracellular activity through the action of specific inhibitors, such as alpha-2-macrogiobuiins and TIMPs (tissue inhibitor of MPs), which form Inactive complexes with the MMPs.
^Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) is a cell-associated cytokine that is processed from a 26 kDa precursor form to a 17 kd active form. See Black R.A. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme" Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2002 Jan; 34(1 ):1 -5 and Moss ML Whirs JM, Lambert MK, Andrews RC.'TACE and other ADAM oroteases as targets for drug discovery" Drug Discov Today. 2001 ADT * :5(S):4"! 7-425. each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Exp. Immunol. 81 (1990) 301).

Compounds that inhibit the production of TMF-oc are therefore of therapeutic importance for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. Recently it has been shown that metalloproteases, such as TACE, are capable of converting TNF-a from its inactive to active form (Gearing et al Nature, 1994, 370, 555). Since excessive TNF-a production has been noted in several disease conditions also characterized by MMP-mediated tissue degradation, compounds which inhibit both MMPs and TNF-a production may also have a particular advantage in diseases where both mechanisms are involved.
One approach to inhibiting the harmful effects of TNF-a is to inhibit the enzyme, TACE before it can process TNF-a to its soluble form. TACE is a member of the ADAM family of type I membrane proteins and mediates the ectodomain sheddino of various membrane-anchored signaiino and adhesion proteins. TACE has become increasingly important in the study of several diseases,, including inflammatory disease, because of its role in cleaving TNF-a from Its ^staftr sequence and thus releasing the soluble form of the TNF-o: rrasr "Sax RA. :~ J Bbchem Cell Bio!. 2002 34,1-5).

■Ssroral procedure ior Example S
in step i, Compound 8£ was dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as DMF, and reacted with methyl iodide in the presence of cesium carbonate at room temperature for 2-16 hours. Water and EtOAc were added and the organic phase was washed by water 1-5 times to remove DMF.
