`
`Abstract: The potent boropeptide thrombin inhibitor DuP 714 caused side effects in laboratory animals that
`appear to be related to its ability to inhibit complement factor 1,
`thereby activating the complement cascade.
`Using X-ray crystal structure information, we have designed compounds that have greater selectivity for
`thrombin over factor I and that have reduced tendency to produce these side effects.

`
`The serine protease thrombin is a critical enzyme in the blood coagulation cascade and, consequently,
`inhibitors of thrombin have been pursued as potential antithrombotic agents.2 Ac-D-Phe-Pro-boroArg-OH (DuP
`714) (Figure 2) is a potent (Ki = 0.04 nM), orally active thrombin inhibitor that is effective against both arterial
`and venous thrombosis in animal models.3 However, DuP 714 also causes hypotension and elevated levels of
`serum transaminases following bolus iv dosing. Further studies indicated that DuP 714 also caused transient
`
`thrombocytopenia and leukopenia, and that it caused localized inflammation in response to local injections.

`.
`Extensive in vitro and rat in viva studies aimed at determining the mechanism of these toxic side effects
`
`initially focused on mast cell degranulation and/or complement activation as potential inflammatory mediators.
`The histamine release characteristic of known mast cell degranulators such as compound 48/805 was not
`
`observed upon administration of DuP 714, suggesting that DuP 714 is not acting as a mast cell degranulator.
`However, depletion of complement with cobra venom factor (CVF)6 prior to administration of DuP 714 blocked
`the hypotension, serum transaminase elevations and thrombocytopenia normally observed.4 Additionally, DuP
`714 was found to activate complement in vitro at 1-10 uM, indicated by increased serum levels of SC5b-9,
`
`anaphylatoxin C3a and factor Bb, a marker of activation of the alternate complement pathway. Examination of
`
`the complement cascade (Figure 1) reveals that, of its many serine proteases, factor I alone has an attenuating
`
`role, which involves the inactivation of C3b. Subsequently, DuP 714 was found to be a potent inhibitor of
`complement factor I (IC5o = 10 nM).7 Therefore, it was concluded that inhibition of complement factor I by
`
`DuP 714 allows for rapid amplification of the alternate pathway of the complement cascade, which ultimately
`leads to the production of C3a, C5a and SC5b-9.4 The transient high levels of anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a
`presumably either directly or indirectly cause the observed side effects. As a means of reducing these
`
`undesirable side effects, we sought to design inhibitors with greater selectivity for thrombin over factor I. This
`
`manuscript will describe our rational design efforts in this area that have indeed led to compounds that are more
`selective f(;l' thrombin over factor I and that have less propensity to cause hypotension and serum t:ransaminase
`elevations.

`longer
`Tyr99 residue should make the
`aryl
`
`binding pocket of factorl smaller than that of thrombin, thereby allowing the opportunity for achieving greater
`
`selectivity by more completely filling the larger thrombin pocket. Factor Xa, another integral serine protease in
`
`the coagulation cascade, also contains the Tyr99 for Leu99 substitution while being similar to both thrombin and
`factor I in the other ligand binding pockets. Due to the apparent similarity between factor Xa and factor I, we
`elected to use the X-ray coordinates of factor Xa“ as a model
`in our design of more selective thrombin
`inhibitors.
`The boropeptide [N-hydrocinnamoyl-N-phenethyl]Gly—boroLys—OH (1)12 (Figure 2) was ideally suited
`as a starting point for these rational design efforts. The X—ray crystal structure of the thrombin:l complex12’13
`reveals that the N-phenethyl residue of 1 occupies a position adjacent to residue Leu99, with the phenyl ring
`being engaged in a favorable aromatic edge-to—face interaction14 with the indole side chain of Trp215 in the aryl
`binding pocket. We expected that the N-phenethyl residue would therefore serve as a handle on which to
`
`append additional functionality to interact with this region of the binding pocket. An overlay of the coordinates
`of the thrombinzl complex with those of factor Xa (Figure 3a) reveals a distance of 4.8 A between the [3 carbon
`of the N-phenethyl residue of 1 and a Leu99 termintd methyl group. The Tyr99 side chain of factor Xa projects
`
`toward the N-phenethyl residue so that the distance between the [3 carbon and the Tyr99 phenolic oxygen in this
`
`model is 2.5 A. Working on the assumption that the overall conformation of factor I will be similar to that of
`
`factor Xa, we expected that disubstitution of the N-phenethyl [3 carbon of 1 would result in compounds which
`would suffer from steiic interactions with Tyr99 upon binding to factor I. Tlirombin, with the smaller Leu99

`3a could be directly dialkylated with 2.2 equiv of methyl iodide and 2.2 equiv of KOt-Bu to give 415 in about
`
`65% yield. Alternatively, dialkylation of ester 3b followed by LAH reduction and PCC oxidation gave
`
`aldehyde 4 in comparable overall yield. The required cycloalkyl aldehydes related to 4 were prepared from
`commercially available 1-pheny1-1-cycloalkanecarboxylic acids by an analogous two step adjustment of
`oxidation state.
`Reductive amination of 4 with glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride salt and sodium
`
`cyanoborohydride smoothly afforded the amine salt 5. Acylation with hydrocinnamoyl chloride followed by
`saponification of the ester gave the desired glycine derivative 6. The conversion of 6 and related derivatives to
`the final boropeptide inhibitors followed established procedures and was straightforward.3a'i2’16

`
`In Table 1 is shown binding and selectivity data for analogs prepared according to our design. Liver
`
`enzyme elevation (ALT) data is included as a measure of toxicity. In general, B43-disubstitution of the phenethyl
`
`residue led to compounds which had greater selectivity for thrombin over factor I, as indicated by increases in
`the calculated selectivity ratio (factor I IC5g/thrombin Ki). The same basic trend is seen in the selectivity for
`
`thrombin over factor Xa, which lends support to our use of factor Xa as a model of factor I. Some exceptions
`
`to this trend are observed in the borolysine series 1, 7-9. The B,[i-dimethyl analog 7 is equipotent to 1 toward
`thrombin and factor I, so there is no increase in the selectivity ratio. However, 7 is more selective versus factor
`
`Xa than is 1. Also, the cyclopropyl analog 8 is more selective for thrombin over both factor I and factor Xa
`
`than is the bulkier cyclopentyl analog 9, although the loss of factorl and factor Xa affinity for 9 relative to 1 is
`
`still consistent with our model and with our design. The effect of [LB-disubstitution is best observed within the
`(formamidino)boroomithine12 series 10-13.
`The B,[S-dimethyl and cyclopropyl analogs 11 and 12,
`
`respectively, are nearly equipotent to the unsubstituted analog 10 toward thrombin but have lower affinities for
`factor I and factor Xa. The bulkier cyclopentyl analog 13 begins to lose affinity for thrombin while dramatically
`
`losing affinity for factor I. Thus, the selectivity ratios for 13 increase > fivefold against factor I and about
`
`eightfold against factor Xa relative to the unsubstituted analog 10. The cyclopropyl analogs are consistently
`more selective for thrombin over factorl than are the corresponding B,B-dimethyl analogs.

`
`The 3,5-dimethylphenethyl series 16-21 also follows the same selectivity trend. The B,B-dimethyl
`
`analogs 17, 19, and 21 are nearly equipotent toward thrombin relative to their unsubstituted counterparts 15,
`18, and 20, respectively, but are considerably less potent toward factor I and factor Xa, with increases in the
`
`selectivity ratio versus factor I ranging from fourfold to > fifteenfold and increases in the selectivity ratio versus
`factor Xa ranging from eightfold to tenfold. Indeed, the effect of [LB-dimethyl substitution in this series is even
`greater than in the phenyl series, where B,B—dimethyl substitution resulted in two- to threefold increases in
`selectivity ratios. This effect might result from one of the meta methyl groups being positioned over Trp2l5,
`which may sterically force the phenethyl tether closer to Ty199 and enhance the effect of [3,B-disubstitution.”
`The measured levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) reported in Table 1 are also worthy of note.
`
`In
`
`accord with the relationship between factor I inhibition and toxicity, only the most potent factor 1 inhibitors,
`
`namely DuP 714 and 14, show significant elevations in ALT levels. The borolysines 1 and 7-9 and the
`(forrnamidino)boroomithines 1(H3 are free from ALT elevations, which, we believe, reflects the fact that they
`are weak factor I inhibitors relative to DuP 714 and 14. Interestingly, even the unsubstituted phenethyl analogs
`
`1 and 10 are relatively weak factor 1 inhibitors, possibly because even the unsubstituted phenethyl residue
`
`provides some degree of steric interaction with the Tyr99 of factorl (Figure 3a).

`Figure 3a. Factor Xa coordinates (red) superimposed onto coordinates of 1 (green) bound to thrombin (yellow). The distance from
`the phcncthyl B-carbon of 1 to the methyl group of Leu99 of thrombin is 4.8 angstroms (pink dashed line) and to the phenolic
`oxygen of Tyr99 of factor Xa is 2.5 angstroms (yellow dashed line). Figure 3b. Factor Xa coordinates (red) superimposed onto
`coordinates of 1 (green) and 7 (blue) bound to thrombin (yellow). The distance from the methyl group of 7 to the phenolic oxygen
`of Tyr99 of factor Xa in this model is 1.4 angstroms.
`
`The additional effect of factor I selectivity on hypotension is illustrated in Table 2 for a series of
`
`boroarginine inhibitors. The very potent factor I inhibitor DuP 714 causes dramatic ALT elevations along with
`
`hypotension after an iv bolus dose of 2 umol/kg in rats. The boroarginine 14, which is thirteenfold less potent
`
`toward factor 1, causes dramatic ALT elevations along with hypotension only after a tenfold higher dose. The
`
`boroarginine 15, with the same thrombin affinity as 14 but with fourfold lower factor I affinity, causes only
`
`slight ALT elevations and no hypotension at the 20 umol/kg dose. Thus, these results effectively demonstrate
`
`that, among structurally—related compounds having comparable thrombin affinity, the toxic side effects of the
`
`boropeptides can be attenuated in vivo by increasing the selectivity over complement factor I.

`
`To determine whether the disubstituted analogs listed in Table 1 are binding in the manner in which they
`
`were designed, we solved the X-ray crystal structure of 7 bound to thrombin. Although this compound has
`
`about the same factor I potency as the corresponding unsubstituted analog 1, it is threefold more selective versus
`
`factor Xa than is 1. Figure 3b shows an overlap of the coordinates of the thrombin:7 complex” with those of
`
`both the thrombin:l complex" and factor Xa. While the overall binding conformations of 7 and 1 are similar,

`
`the phenethyl residue of 7 has moved slightly, presumably to accommodate the additional methyl groups. Also,
`the orientation of the phenyl residue with respect to Trp215 has changed, but the edge-to-face interaction is still
`maintained at approximately the same inter-ring angle. The measured distance of 1.4 A between the phenethyl
`methyl group of 7 and the oxygen of Tyr99 of factor Xa in this model lends support to our hypothesis and to
`our results regarding the increased selectivity of substituted analogs of 1.
`Presumably, binding of the
`dialkylated phenethyl analogs to factor I or factor Xa in a conformation similar to 1 would be disrupted by steric
`interactions between the added alkyl groups and Tyr99. To accommodate these added groups the phenethyl
`residue might bind in a different manner, which might be expected to disrupt the favorable edge-to-face
`interaction with Trp215.
`In summary, we have used X-ray crystal structure information to design substituted analogs of the
`boropeptide 1 which have greater selectivity for thrombin over complement factor I. The resulting inhibitors
`have less tendency to cause the side effects which we believe are mediated by inhibition of complement factor I.
`This work is an example of how rational drug design can be used to target a specific binding interaction, based
`on a single amino acid substitution, which can dramatically alter the selectivity and biological activity profile of a
`promising series of enzyme inhibitors.
