An object of the invention is to provide novel compounds having useful properties, in particular those which can be used for the production of medicaments.
Upon further study of the specification and appended claims, further objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
These objects are achieved by the invention. It was found that the compounds of the formula I, and their solvates and salts, have useful pharmacological properties together with good tolerability. The compounds have integrin inhibiting effects, in particular they inhibit interaction of &bgr;

- or &bgr;

-integrin receptors with ligands. Especially, they affect the a

&bgr;
3
, a
v
&bgr;

and a

integrins. The activity of the compounds can be demonstrated, for example, by the method of J. W. Smith et al., described in J. Biol. Chem. 265:12267-12271 (1990). In particular, they inhibit the binding of fibrinogen, fibronectin and of the von Willebrand factor to the fibrinogen receptor of the blood platelets (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) and also the binding thereof and of further adhesive proteins, such as vitronectin, collagen and laminin, to the corresponding receptors on the surface of various cell types. The compounds thus affect cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In particular, they prevent the formation of blood platelet thrombi and can therefore be used for the treatment of thromboses, apoplexia, cardiac infarct, angina pectoris, osteolytic diseases, in particular osteoporosis, antiangiogenesis and restenosis after angioplasty, ischaemias, inflammations, arteriosclerosis and of acute kidney failure. The compounds also have an effect on tumor cells by inhibiting their metastasization. They can thus also be employed as antitumor agents.
There are indications that tumor cells pass into the vessels by means of microthrombi and are thus protected from detection by cells of the immune system. Microthrombi also have a supportive effect on the binding of tumor cells to the vessel walls. Since the formation of the microthrombi is connected with the fibrinogen binding to the fibrinogen receptor (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa), fibrinogen binding inhibitors likewise count as metastasis inhibitors.
Also, since fibrinogen-binding inhibitors are ligands with fibrinogen receptor on platelets, they can be used as diagnostic tools for detection and localization of thrombi in the vascular in vivo. Thus, for example, in accordance with known procedures, the fibrinogen-binding inhibitors can be labeled with a signal generating or detectable moiety whereby, once the labeled fibrinogen-binding inhibitor is bound to a fibrinogen receptor on platelets, it is possible to detect and locate thrombi.
Fibrinogen-binding inhibitors are also very effective as research tools for studying the metabolism of platelets in the different activation states or intracellular signalling mechanisms of the fibrinogen receptor. For example, as described above, fibrinogen-binding inhibitor can be labeled with a signal generating or detectable moiety.
The fibrinogen-binding inhibitor-signal generating/detectable moiety conjugate can then be employed in vitro as a research tool. By binding the conjugate to fibrinogen receptors, it is possible to monitor and study the metabolism of platelets, as well as the activation states and signalling mechanisms of the fibrinogen receptors.
The compounds are additionally suitable as antimicrobial agents which can prevent infections, such as can be caused, for example, by bacteria, fungi or yeasts. The substances can therefore preferably be given as accompanying antimicrobial agents when operations on bodies are performed in which exogenous substances, such as biomaterials, implants, catheters or cardiac pacemakers, are employed. They act as antiseptics. Antimicrobial activities of the compounds can be demonstrated, for example, by the method of P. Valentin-Weigand et al., described in Infection and Immunity, 2851-2855 (1988).
The other properties of the compounds can be demonstrated by methods which are described in EP-A1-0 462 960. The inhibition of fibrin binding to the fibrinogen receptor can be demonstrated by the method which is indicated in EP-A1-0 381 033. The platelet aggregation-inhibiting action can be demonstrated in vitro by the method of Born (Nature, 4832:927-929 (1962)).
