WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 1 Compounds for binding to the platelet specific Glycoprotein Ilb/Illa and their use for imaging of thrombi FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to novel fluorine containing compounds, 1 9 F and the corresponding ' 8 F labeled compounds, methods for their preparation, the intermediates of the synthesis, their use as diagnostic agents, especially for imaging of thrombi. This invention relates to positron emission tomography (PET) agents and associated precursor reagents, and methods for producing such radiolabeled agents for imaging of thrombi in a mammalian body. More particularly, the invention relates to small, nonpeptide, high-affinity, specific-binding glycoprotein Ilb/Illa antagonists for imaging of thrombi. BACKGROUND 1. Introduction Myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These life-threatening clinical events are mostly caused by thrombi, which can be located in different vessels spread all over the body and can be of different size and composition. The origin of stroke or TIA can for example be a thrombus in the left atrium (LA) of the heart or in one of the big arteries between heart and brain like the carotid artery. In case of PE a venous thrombosis, often situated in the lower legs, can be the cause. In a growing thrombus the final common step of platelet aggregation is characterized by the binding of activated glycoprotein llb/Illa to blood fibrinogen resulting in a crosslink inside the platelets. Design and development of glycoprotein lb/Illa inhibitors (Scarborough R.M., Gretler D.D., J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43, 3453-3473) has been of considerable interest in pharmacological research with respect to anti-platelet and anti-thrombotic activity. However, health care professionals are in need not only for compounds that prevent thrombosis in an acute care setting, but also for a satisfactory method of imaging thrombi down to a size of 1 mm 3 . More particularly, a thrombus imaging is important because clinical applications such as thrombolytic intervention require that the thrombus formation site is identified and enables the monitoring of therapy effects. In this way a thrombus imaging can help to avoid unnecessary prophylactic applications and therewith anticoagulant treatments WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 2 which are associated with risks (e.g. severe bleedings due to the reduced coagulation capacity). The patient population which may benefit from such a diagnostic procedure is huge. According to the "Heart disease and Stroke Statistics - 2010 Update" of the American Heart Association 17.6 million people suffered from coronary heart disease only in the USA. Every year an estimated 785,000 Americans will have a new coronary attack, and approximately 470,000 will have a recurrent attack. Every year about 795,000 patients experience a new or a recurrent stroke. About 610,000 of these are first attacks. Of all strokes, 87% are ischemic, most of them due to a thromboembolic cause (Lloyd-Jones, D. et al., Circulation, 2010, 121(7): p. e46-215). The incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the United States has been estimated to be approximately 200,000 to 500,000 per year, with a population prevalence of 2.3%, which translates into about 5 million people (Easton, J.D. et al., Stroke, 2009, 40(6): p. 2276-2293). Individuals who have a TIA have a 90-day risk of stroke of 3.0% to 17.3% and a 10-year stroke risk of 18.8 %. The combined 10-year stroke, myocardial infarction, or vascular death risk is even 42.8% (Clark, T.G., M.F.G. Murphy, and P.M. Rothwell, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2003. 74(5): p. 577-580). Imaging is forefront in identifying thrombus. Currently, thrombus imaging relies on different modalities depending on the vascular territory. Carotid ultrasound is used to search for carotid thrombus, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) searches for cardiac chamber clot, ultrasound searches for deep vein thrombosis, and CT has become the gold standard for PE detection. 2. Description of the Prior Art, Problem to be solved and its Solution Despite the success of these techniques, there continues to be a strong need for a molecular imaging solution for thrombus detection and monitoring: first, there are certain vascular territories that are underserved. For instance, despite best imaging efforts some 30% to 40% of ischemic strokes are "cryptogenic," that is, of indefinite cause, or in other words, the source of the thromboembolism is never identified (Guercini, F. et al., Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2008. 6(4): p. 549-554). Underlying sources of cryptogenic stroke include atherosclerosis in the aortic arch or intracranial arteries. Plaque rupture in the arch or other major vessels, in particular, is thought to be a major source of cryptogenic strokes and can be difficult to detect with routine methods. Recent clinical trial data from transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) studies showed that the presence of thickened vessel wall in the aortic arch was not predictive of ischemic stroke, although ulcerated aortic arch plaques are associated with cryptogenic stroke. A thrombus-targeted molecular imaging approach could potentially identify clot in the presence of atherosclerotic plaque. Finally, there is a need for an approach wherein a single modality could be used to identify thrombus throughout the WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 3 body. For instance, in a TIA or stroke follow-up, currently multiple examinations are required to search for the source of the embolus (Ciesienski, K.L. and P. Caravan, Curr Cardiovasc Imaging Rep., 2010. 4(1): p. 77-84). As already mentioned the therapeutic application of glycoprotein lb/Illa inhibitors (Scarborough R.M., Gretler D.D., J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43, 3453-3473) has been of considerable interest in the past. Meanwhile three glycoprotein lb/Illa antagonists are commercially available: a recombinant antibody (Abciximab), a cyclic heptapeptide (Eptifibatid) and a synthetic, non-peptide inhibitor (Tirofiban). Tirofiban (brand name AGGRASTAT) belongs to the class of sulfonamides and is the only synthetic, small molecule among the above mentioned pharmaceuticals. Duggan et. al., 1994, U.S. Pat. no. 5,292,756 disclose sulfonamide fibrinogen receptor antagonist as therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by thrombus formation. One attempt to fulfill the need of thrombus imaging is represented by the SPECT tracer apticide (AcuTect®). Apticide is a Tc-99m labeled peptide specifically binds to the GPIlb/Illa receptor and is used for imaging of thrombi in a mammalian body. Dean et al., 1996, U.S. Pat. no. 5,508,020, disclosed radiolabeled peptides, methods and kits for making such peptides to image sites in a mammalian body labeled with technetium-99m via Tc-99m binding moieties. Dean and Lister-James describe peptides that specifically bind to GPIlb/llla receptors on the surface of activated platelets (U.S. Pat. no. 5,645,815; U.S. Pat. no. 5,830,856 and U.S. Pat. no. 6,028,056). Apticide was approved for the detection of deep vein thrombosis. The resolution reached by the technetium labeled peptide was found not to be satisfactory due to unspecific binding and high background. Novel highly specific non-peptide glycoprotein llb/Illa antagonists have been described in the prior art (Damiano et. al., Thrombosis Research 2001 104, 113-126; Hoekstra, W.J., et al., J. Med. Chem., 1999, 42, 5254-5265). These compounds have been known to be GPIlb/llla antagonist, effective as therapeutic agents with anti-platelet and anti-thrombotic activity (see W095/08536, W096/29309, W097/33869, W09701/60813, U.S. Pat. no. 6,515,130). The potential use of glycoprotein llb/Illa antagonists as contrast agents is also proposed (see US 2007/0189970 Al). However, a thrombus imaging with these compounds has not been demonstrated. The F-18 radiolabeled compounds and their precursors described in this invention surprisingly show high metabolic stability, low protein binding and fast elimination. A non invasive PET imaging of very small thrombi in vivo with an 18 F-labeled tracer has been successfully demonstrated. The images show strong signals in arterial and venous thrombi. In contrast to Apticide (U.S. Pat. no. 5,645,815; U.S. Pat. no. 5,830,856 and U.S. Pat. no. 6,028,056 there is no background visible in the whole body except the excreting organs liver and kidney. Most WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 4 surprisingly, even very small thrombi (thickness < 1 mm) can be detected and show a bright signal in the image. Detection of such small thrombi has not been described so far. The thrombi shown with Apticide had a size of 89 plus/minus 26 mg [mean plus/minus SEM] (Lister-James, J., et al., J Nucl Med, 1996. 37(5): p. 775-81). The imaging of small thrombi is particularly important with regard to thromboembolic diseases such as myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, stroke and transient ischemic attacks. Furthermore, a sensitive thrombus PET marker can be used for the regular health monitoring of cardiovascular risk patients, or the diagnosis of life threatening diseases such as aortic aneurism, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CETPH), atrial fibrillation and coronary thrombosis. The in vivo clot-to-blood ratio of the disclosed compounds lies in a high, especially desirable range, which is a property that has never been observed before. In fact, it is the decisive property of the new compounds that is responsible for the clear advantage over the current state of the art compounds and enables a much lower radioactive dose to be administered to a potential patient (only 15 MBq needed for monkeys, which is at least 20-fold less the dose used in the closest prior art US 2007/0189970 Al). SUMMARY The present invention is directed to compounds that bind to glycoprotein lb/Illa and can be used as radiotracers for diagnostic imaging, in particular positron emission tomography (PET), of thrombi. The disclosed compounds enable the imaging of arterial and venous thrombi with a sensitivity that has never been observed before and that is sufficient to image the smallest thrombi in the single digit milligram range. Compared to the prior art, the disclosed compounds enable obtaining images with basically no background in relevant tissues and organs and the administration of radioactive doses in a much lower range.

DEFINITIONS The following terms describe generic and specific structural elements of the chemical scaffold of the compounds of the present invention, as well as functional groups and substituents attached thereto. They can be combined in a way resulting in structures in line with the chemical valency rules and of suitable chemical stability, that is, compounds that are sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and for their intended use, such as formulation into a pharmaceutical composition.
WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 95 For the purposes of the present invention, the terms have the following meaning, unless otherwise specified: The term "amine-protecting group" as employed herein by itself or as part of another group is known or obvious to someone skilled in the art, which is chosen from but not limited to a class of protecting groups namely carbamates, amides, imides, N-alkyl amines, N-aryl amines, imines, enamines, boranes, N-P protecting groups, N-sulfenyl, N-sulfonyl and N silyl, and which is chosen from but not limited to those described in the textbook Greene and Wuts, Protecting groups in Organic Synthesis, third edition, page 494-653, included herewith by reference. The "amine-protecting group" is preferably carbobenzyloxy (Cbz), p methoxybenzyl carbonyl (Moz or MeOZ), tert-butyloxycarbonyl (BOC), 9 fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (FMOC), benzyl (Bn), p-methoxybenzyl (PMB), 3,4 dimethoxybenzyl (DMPM), p-methoxyphenyl (PMP), triphenylmethyl (Trityl), methoxyphenyl diphenylmethyl (MMT) or the protected amino group is a 1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2 yl (phthalimido) or an azido group. The term "carboxyl-protecting group" as employed herein by itself or as part of another group is known or obvious to someone skilled in the art, which is chosen from but not limited to a class of protecting groups namely esters, amides and hydrazides, and which is chosen from but not limited to those described in the textbook Greene and Wuts, Protecting groups in Organic Synthesis, third edition, page 369-453, included herewith by reference. The "carboxyl-protecting group" is preferably methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, tert-butyl, allyl, benzyl, 4 methoxybenzyl or 4-methoxyphenyl. The term "alkyl", by itself or as part of another group, refers to a straight chain or branched chain alkyl group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl. The term "halogen" represents fluorine, chlorine and bromine. The term "leaving group" as employed herein by itself or as part of another group is known or obvious to someone skilled in the art, and means that an atom or group of atoms is detachable from a chemical substance by a nucleophilic agent. Examples are given e.g. in P. Stang et al. Synthesis (1982), p. 85-125, table 2 (p. 86; (the last entry of this table 2 needs to be corrected: "n-C 4 FqS(O) 2 -O- nonaflat" instead of "n-C 4

(Coenen, Fluorine-18 WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 96 Labeling Methods: Features and Possibilities of Basic Reactions, (2006), in: Schubiger P.A., Friebe M., Lehmann L., (eds), PET-Chemistry - The Driving Force in Molecular Imaging. Springer, Berlin Heidelberg, pp.15-50, explicitly: scheme 4 pp. 25, scheme 5 pp 28, table 4 pp 30, Figure 7 pp 33). Preferably, the "leaving group" is fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide or a sulfonate leaving group including but not limited to methylsulfonyloxy, (4-methylphenyl)sulfonyloxy, trifluormethylsulfonyloxy, nonafluorobutylsulfonyloxy, (4-bromophenyl)sulfonyloxy, (4 nitrophenyl)sulfonyloxy, (2-nitrophenyl)sulfonyloxy, (4-isopropylphenyl)sulfonyloxy, (2,4,6-tri isopropyl-phenyl)sulfonyloxy, (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)sulfonyloxy, (4-tertbutylphenyl) sulfonyloxy, (4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyloxy. The term "' 8 F building block" as employed herein by itself or as part of another group is known or obvious to someone skilled in the art, which is chosen from a class of compounds used for an indirect method of ' 8 F fluorination via a prosthetic group. This means that a primary 18 F-labeled compound contains a further functional group suitable for coupling of this prosthetic group to a second molecule. This functional group can be a leaving group including but not limited to a halogen or a sulfonate leaving group. Examples are given e.g. for 18 F-fluoroalkylation in Block et al. J. Label. Compd. Radiopharm. (1988), p. 201-216 and for "F-fluoroacylation in Block et al. J. Label. Compd. Radiopharm. (1988), p. 185-200. The functional can also be another electrophilic moiety like an aldehyde used e.g. for a coupling via reductive amination to the second molecule (Wilson et al. J. Label. Compd. Radiopharm. (1990), p. 1189-1199). Alternatively the functional group can also be a nucleophilic moiety e.g. an amine used for 18 F-fluoroamidation like in Shia et al. Biochem. (1989), p. 4801-4806. Preferably the " 8 F building block" is taken from the group of prosthetic groups used for 1 8
F
fluoroalkylation like n-[ 18 F]fluoroalkyl-1-aryl sulfonates, like n-[ 18 F]fluoroalkoxyalkyl-1-aryl sulfonates and n-[ 18 F]fluoroalkyl-1-halogenides. More preferably the " 18 F building block" is bromo-[ 18 F]fluoromethane, 1-bromo-2-[ 18 F]fluoroethane, 1 -bromo-2-[ 18 F]fluoropropane, 2
[
18 F]fluoroethyl methanesulfonate, 2-[ 18 F]fluoroethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, 2
[
18 F]fluoroethyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate, 2-[ 18 F]fluoropropyl methanesulfonate, 2
[
18 F]fluoropropyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, 2-[18F]fluoropropyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate, 2 [2-(2-[18F]fluoroethoxy)ethoxy]ethy methanesulfonate, 2-[2-(2-[ 1 8F]fluoroethoxy)ethoxy] ethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate and 2-[2-(2-[ 1 F]fluoroethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate. If chiral centers or other forms of isomeric centers are not otherwise defined in a compound according to the present invention, all forms of such stereoisomers, including E- and Z- WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 97 isomers and diastereomers, are intended to be covered herein. Compounds containing chiral centers may be used as a diastereomeric mixture or as a diastereomerically enriched mixture, or these isomeric mixtures may be separated using well-known techniques, and an individual stereoisomer maybe used alone. In cases wherein compounds may exist in tautomeric forms, each tautomeric form is contemplated as being included within this invention whether existing in equilibrium or predominantly in one form. Suitable salts of the compounds according to the invention include salts of mineral acids, carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids, for example salts of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, naphthalene disulfonic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid and benzoic acid. Suitable salts of the compounds according to the invention also include salts of customary bases, such as, by way of example and by way of preference, alkali metal salts (for example sodium salts and potassium salts), alkaline earth metal salts (for example calcium salts and magnesium salts) and ammonium salts, derived from ammonia or organic amines having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, such as, by way of example and by way of preference, ethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, ethyldiisopropylamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, dicyclohexylamine, dimethylaminoethanol, procaine, dibenzylamine, N methylmorpholine, arginine, lysine, ethylenediamine and N-methylpiperidine. The term "thrombus (thrombi)" describes all kinds of blood clots (venous and arterial thrombi). The term "thrombus (thrombi)" includes also any terms of phrases like "thrombotic deposits" and "thrombus formation sites". Thrombi usually arise as a result of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis or pathologically as the result of different causes like thrombotic disorders. In this investigation all platelet containing thrombi are included as well as circulating thrombi (embolus), which get stuck somewhere in the vascular tree. The term "purification" as employed herein has the objective to eliminate the excess of side product such as 18 F-Fluoride and to concentrate and trap the reaction product. Purification is carried out by any method known to those in the art, suitable for radiotracer e.g. chromatography, HPLC, solid-phase-extraction cartridges or column. GENERAL SYNTHESIS WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 98 In general the synthesis of these compounds is documented in the literature: 1) J. Med. Chem. 1999, 42, 5254-5265 2) Organic Progress Research & Development 2003, 7, 866-872 Modifications and improvements of these methods are described in detail in the experimental part.

These were separated at the end of the synthesis by preparative HPLC. It was possible (examples 4, 5, 8, 25 and 27) to realize a stereoselective approach to the protected 3-amino-3-arylpropanoic acids (Scheme 2 to 4). In general, stereoselective methods for the synthesis of B-amino acids are applicable (M. Liu, M.P. Sibi, Tetrahedron 2002 58, 7991-8035 or E. Juaristi, V. Soloshonok Eds. of Enantioselective Synthesis of Beta Amino Acids, second edition, Wiley-Interscience, ISBN 0-471-46738-3).

The preparation of (S)-3-amino-3-(5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl) propionic acid tert-butyl ester was accomplished as described in J. Chem. Soc., Perkin WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 100 Trans. 1, 2002, 1858-1868 for (S)-3-amino-3-(pyridin-3-yl)propionic acid tert-butyl ester 14. For this compound an optical rotation [a]D -17.6' is specified, whereas the bromo-derivative obtained gave [a]D -18.8". The final product of the synthesis using this pure enantiomeric intermediate gave the active diastereomer with an enantiomeric excess of 53 % (scheme 2). In a second approach (scheme 3) the 3-pyridyl nitrile could be transformed to the aryl enamine which was stereoselectively reduced (Yi Hsiao et. al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004 126,9918-9919) to the enantiomerically enriched 3-amino-3-arylpropanoic acid tert.-butyl ester. The ester was coupled to the piperidine fragment via an activated ester. Further standard transformations of protective groups or palladium catalyzed transformations like Suzuki or Sonogashira reaction delivered the exemplified compounds. N 0 CH

[
18 F]Fluoride was produced by proton bombardment in a cyclotron using a silver target (1 mL) filled with [18O] water for the 18O (p,n) 18 F reaction. The aqueous [18F]fluoride was passed through a cartridge (e.g. QMA-resin cartridge Waters, Sep Pak Light QMA Part.No.: WAT023525 ).

WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 104 DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Figure 1: Affinity assay: In the first step human GPIlb/Illa purified from human platelets was immobilized on a 96-well solid plate. After 48 hours the plates were washed and the unspecific binding sites were blocked with Roti*-Block. 2. In the next step, the plates were simultaneously incubated with a tritium labeled known GPIlb/Illa binder (3H) mixed with increasing concentrations of the novel small molecule compounds (inhibitor, 19 F). The higher the affinity of the inhibitor, the lower the bound fraction of the tritiated known GPIlb/llla binder (3H) was. The fraction of tritiated compound (3H), which is not displaced by inhibitor, was measured in a microplate scintillation counter. Figure 2: The diagram shows the blood-to-clot ratio versus IC50 values of the investigated compounds. Each point is marked with the accompanying example number. The blood-to clot ratios decrease with increasing affinity. Figure 3: Biodistribution of the compound described in example 41 in mice. The compound was rapidly eliminated from the blood and was quickly excreted over the kidney and liver. There was almost no background in the whole rest of the body after 15 minutes p. i. Figure 4: Blood kinetics of the compound described in example 40 in cynomolgus monkey. PET-imaging was performed continuously from shortly before up to 60 minutes post injection. Venous blood samples were taken at 3, 10, 30 and 60 minutes p.i. and were measured in a gamma-counter (Automatic Gamma Counter Wizard 2 3, Perkin Elmer) and expressed as cpm/mg blood. Additionally, the blood-concentration of the compound was measured from the PET-Image over the whole imaging period and expressed as %ID/g. As already shown in mice, the compound was rapidly eliminated from the blood. Figure 5: PET-Imaging of an arterial thrombus in a cynomolgus monkey: The Figure shows an arterial thrombus (arrow 2) which had developed on the surface of a roughened polyethylene catheter tube (PE50). The thrombus is already visible inside the descending Aorta nearby the heart (arrow 1) within the first 15 minutes (left image). There is no signal loss up to 60 WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 105 minutes (right image). The compound is quickly eliminated from the blood and there is no background in adjacent tissue and organs after 15 minutes (right image). Figure 6: PET-Imaging of an arterial thrombus in a cynomolgus monkey: The Figure shows two arterial thrombi (arrow 2) which had developed on the surface of a polyethylene catheter tube (PE50) which was roughened at two parts with a gap in between. There is no signal visible between the thrombi proving that the compound solely binds to thrombus and not to the polymeric tube alone. The thrombus is already visible inside the descending Aorta nearby the heart (arrow 1) within the first 15 minutes (left image). There is no signal loss up to 60 minutes (right image). The compound is quickly eliminated from the blood and there is no background in adjacent tissue or organs after 15 minutes (right image). Figure 7: Arterial thrombi removed from monkey 2: The image shows the polyethylene catheter tube (PE50, outer diameter: 1 mm) which was roughened at two parts (1/3) with a gap (2) in between. The thrombus had only developed on the rough parts of the tube-surface and was extremely thin (approximately 1/10th mm [arrow 1] or even less [arrow 3]). This shows that even tiniest thrombi can be detected anywhere in the body. Figure 8: PET-Imaging of arterial and venous thrombi in a cynomolgus monkey with the reduced tracer-dosage of 15 MBq per animal: The Figure shows several arterial (arrow 3) and venous (arrow 4) thrombi which had developed on the surface of polyethylene catheter tubes (PE50) which were roughened at some parts with gaps in between. All thrombi could be seen already in the first 15 minutes. However, the contrast was much better after 15 minutes because of the low background. Apart from the thrombogenic catheters another arterial thrombus showed up in the image, which was found in the right carotid artery later on and had most probably developed as a result of vessel damage while the preparation. The heart (left image, arrow 1) is only visible within the first 15 minutes, while the liver (right image, arrow 5) can still be seen up to 60 minutes.

The resealed vial was heated again for 10 min at 1300C. Afterwards the reaction mixture was cooled again and two needles with tubings were sticked through Teflon membrane sealed reaction vial. One tubing is connected to a nitrogen flow regulator and the other tubing to a second vial equipped with 400 pL DMF. Using a constant small flow of nitrogen gas through the reaction mixture, this mixture was heated for additional 20 min at 1000C, while leading this nitrogen stream to the second vial where the nitrogen stream constantly bubbles through the 400 pL DMF. With the heating and the nitrogen stream the formed 2-[ 18 F]fluoro-1-bromo-ethane in vial 1 is constantly driven to vial 2. After 20 min the distillation is stopped because no further increase of radioactivity in vial 2 could be detected.

3 H]Pyridin-3-yl}propanoic acid 0 0 OH 3 H (3S)-3-(6-Bromopyridin-3-yl)-3-{[(3R)-1-(3-piperidin-4-yl-propanoyl)piperidine-3-carbonyl] amino)propanoic acid (1.85 mg, 3.73 pmol) was dissolved in a mixture of DMF (500 pL) and Et3N (25 pL). To this solution palladium on charcoal (20%) (6.45 mg) was added and the mixture was connected to a tritium manifold to tritiate over night with tritium gas. Afterwards the reaction mixture was 3 times cryostatically evaporated in the manifold. The obtained crude product was purified on a semi prep HPLC (Kromasil 100 C8 5 pm (250x 4.6 mm), eluent: 35 mM ammonia/methanol, flow: 1 mL/min). The collected fraction contained 2061 MBq (S)-3-(5-3H-pyridin-3-yi)-3-{[(R)-1-(3-piperidin-4-yl-propanoyl)-piperidin-3-carbonyl] amino}-propanoic acid (radiochemical yield: 12.6 %; radiochemical purity: 98%; specific activity: 7.81 Ci/mmol). Example 49 Affinities of GPIlb/Illa antagonists towards human GPIlb/Illa receptors The whole procedure of the used GPIlb/llla assay is schematic demonstrated in figure 1. Purified human glycoprotein lb/Illa (20 mM Tris-HCI, 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1 mM CaC1 2 , 0.05% NaN 3 , 50% Glycerol, pH 7.4) was purchased from Enzyme Research Laboratories Inc. (South Bend, IN). The GPIlb/Illa receptor was diluted in phosphate-buffered saline (Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (D-PBS (+)) with calcium and magnesium, GIBCO*, Invitrogen) with 0.01% bovine serum albumin (albumin from bovine serum lyophilized powder, 96 %, Sigma). The GPIlb/llla receptor was immobilized 48 hours at least (100 pL per well, 48 to maximum 96 hours) on a 96-well solid plate (Immuno Plate MaxiSorp'", Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark) at 277 K to 280 K and at a concentration of 0.1 pg per well to 1 pg per well. As negative control WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 217 one row of the plate (n=8) was incubated just with 2% bovine serum albumin (200 pL per well, albumin from bovine serum - lyophilized powder, 296%, Sigma, diluted in D-PBS (+)). After washing three times with the wash buffer (230 pL per well, Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (D-PBS (-)) contains no calcium or magnesium, GIBCO*, Invitrogen) residual exposed plastic and unspecific binding sites were blocked by incubating the plate with a special blocking solution (200 pL per well, Roti*-Block, Carl Roth GmbH Co KG, Karlsruhe) containing 2% bovine serum albumin (Albumin from bovine serum - lyophilized powder, 96%, Sigma) 1 hour at room temperature. After washing three times with the wash buffer 50 pL of tritiated reference compound (60 nM, 3 H-labeled compound) and 50 pL of novel compound (inhibitor, 1 9 F) were simultaneously added to each well and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Several concentrations of each novel inhibitor (0.1, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000 and 20000 nM) were investigated. At each concentration of inhibitor a fourfold determination was performed. The results for the examined inhibitors are summarized in table 1. The maximum value of tritiated reference compound was determined without addition of inhibitor (n=8). To exclude unspecific binding of 3 H- reference compound wells without glycoprotein receptors were used as negative controls (n=12, identically treated just without GPIlb/Illa receptors). After one hour the plate was washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (200 pL per well, Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (D-PBS (+)), GIBCO*, Invitrogen). Following 140 pL of liquid scintillation cocktail (MicroScintTM 40 aqueous, Perkin Elmer) was added to each well. After 15 min at room temperature the plates were measured at the microplate scintillation counter (TopCount NXT v2.13, Perkin Elmer, Packard Instrument Company). Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of GPIlb/Illa assay. In the first step human glycoprotein llb/Illa, which is purified from human platelets, was immobilized on a 96-well solid plate. After 48 hours at least the plates were washed and the unspecific binding sites were blocked with Roti*-Block. In the next step, the plates were simultaneously incubated with a tritium labeled reference compound and the novel small molecule compound (inhibitor). The higher the affinity of the inhibitor, the smaller is the bound fraction of reference compound. The fraction of tritiated reference compound, which is not displaced by inhibitor, was measured at a microplate scintillation counter. The results are summarized in table 1.

By means of this assay the active diastereomers identified and the affinities (IC50 values) could be determined. The studies described above indicate that compounds of formula I are useful as contrast agents for the imaging of thrombi. The good correlation between IC50-values and the actual thrombus accumulation are described in Example 50. Example 50 Ex vivo characterization Binding to human Thrombi: The binding of compounds to thrombi was further investigated in an ex vivo blood flow model similar to that described in "Wakhloo, A. K. et al. Thrombus and stroke 2008, in vitro models 57-66" but modified with regard to thrombus development. Briefly, an open handmade tube set consisting of tygon-tubes (Tygon R-1000, part No AAU00007: I.D. 3.2 mm, O.D. 6.4 mm, WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 219 Saint Gobain Performance Plastics North America), intermediate tubes (Intrafix Infusion set, B.Braun, Melsungen, Germany) an open reservoir (10 mL Combitip, Eppendorf) and a chamber made of a piece of polyethylene-Tube, (INTRAMEDIC Polyethylene Tubing, Clay Adams, PE160, length: 6.5 cm) containing a loop of a roughened thread (fishing line: Okuma UltraMax whitefish, diameter: 0.14 mm, length: 5 cm; sandpaper: CAMI Grit designation: 600, CP918a, VSM) was used for thrombus formation. The connection between the intermediate tube and the thrombus chamber was made by trimmed tips (epTIPS, 200 pL, Eppendorff, Hamburg/Germany). The Reservoir and the thrombus chamber were fixed by clamps and stands. A peristaltic-pump (Minipuls 3, Gilson, Middelton/USA) was used to pump the blood around thereby adjusting the flow in the middle of the thrombus chamber to 70-90 cm per second, which was monitored by ultrasound Doppler measurement (Vevo 770 High Resolution In Vivo Micro-Imaging System, VisualSonics, Toronto/Ontario, Canada; Scanhead: RMV 704, 40 MHz). The volume of the entire tube-set was 7.5 or 15 mL. For each experiment fresh blood was taken from a volunteer using 10 mL citrate-tubes (Sarstedt S-Monovette 02.1067.001, 10 mL, Citrate 3.13%) and immediately laid into the turning-device of an incubator at a temperature of 37*C (Heraeus miniTherm CTT with integrated rotation- and turning device, turning speed: 19 rotations per minute, Heraeus Instruments GmbH, Hanau/Germany). As needed, two tubes were taken out of the turning device and 15 mL were transferred to a 20 mL Syringe (Omnifix , B. Braun, Melsungen/Germany) and gently mixed with 0.75 mL CaC 2 -Solution before the peristaltic pump was started and the whole content of the syringe was transferred into the reservoir of the tube-set via a cell strainer (BD FalconTM cell strain, 40 pm, BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ USA). After 7 minutes 1 MBq or 0.5 MBq (15 mL or 7.5 mL) of the compound was added to the reservoir by means of a pipette, thereby mixing the content gently with the tip of the pipette. The blood was left circulating for another 3 minutes. Then, the pump was stopped, aliquots were taken from the blood and the thrombus together with the roughened thread was removed from the thrombus-chamber before both was weighted and measured in a gamma counter (Automatic Gamma Counter Wizard 2 3, Perkin Elmer). Then the thrombus together with the thread was incubated in Plasmin-solution (Plasmin from Human Plasma, Sigma Aldrich, stock-solution: 500pg in 500pL 150pM Tris-buffer (pH 7.8), 20pL stock-solution to 230pL saline solution 0.9%) for 48 hours to separate the platelets from the thread and to determine the netto weight of the thrombus. Finally the activity of the compound in blood and thrombus as well as the ratio between both was determined (cpm/weight [mg]). The results for the investigated compounds are summarized in table 2.

To verify the specificity of the compound, a competition experiment was conducted in which the cold compound was added to the reservoir together with the hot compound. The final plasma concentration of the cold compound was 2.8 pM. The results are summarized in the table 3. .

The competition experiments showed that the accumulation of the tracer can be displaced by addition of the cold compound and verify that the binding is specific. The strong specific binding of the compounds to thrombi shown in table 2 and 3 (in vitro clot to-blood ratio) correlates well to the IC 50 -values determined before (Figure 2 and Example 49). The accumulation of compounds within thrombi or the clot-to-blood ratios grows with increasing affinity.
WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 221 Example 51 Plasma protein binding The determination of the plasma protein binding of compounds was performed by means of an equilibrium dialysis in a 96-well HT plate. Solutions of test compound (0.3 pM and 3 pM) were prepared in buffer (50 mM phosphate buffer) and 10% plasma. A 96 well HT dialysis plate (Teflon) was assembled so that each well was divided in two compartments by a semi permeable cellulose membrane (regenerated Cellulose, MWCO 12-14K). The phosphate buffer solution (150 pL) was added to one side of the membrane and the plasma solution to the other side (150 pL). The compounds were added to the plasma solution side and were incubated at 37 degree. The unbound fraction of the compound could pass through the membrane and equilibrium between the two sides could be reached (6-8h, 37'C). Both solutions were analyzed for each compound (plasma-free and plasma-containing) by LC-MS. Both solutions for each compound were diluted with buffer or plasma to reach the same matrix (10% plasma) for analysis and were precipitated by the addition of methanol. The fraction unbound (Fu) was calculated as the quotient of the equilibrium concentrations of the compound in plasma-free and plasma-containing solution. The results are summarized in table 4. The extent of plasma protein binding has been investigated in human and monkey. Examples showed no significant binding to plasma proteins, with a fraction unbound (Fu) greater than 10% in all investigated species.

The incubation concentration was 0.3 pM. The hole incubation volume was 3.03 mL in which 2.4 mL of a microsome suspension in phosphate buffer (7.4 pH) was activated by addition of 0.6 mL of a NADPH regeneration system (cofactor mixture: 1.2 mg NADP, 3 IU Glucose-6-Phosphat Dehydrogenase, 14.6 mg Glucose-6-Phosphat und 4.9 mg MgCl2 in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4). After addition of 30 pL of test compound the assay was started. The compound was dissolved in an organic solvent and diluted with the same liver microsome medium in order to keep the organic content below the recommended concentration (dimethylsulfoxide DMSO < 0.2% and methanol < 1%). The suspension was incubated at 37 degree for 60 minutes under continuous stirring (Tec Control Shaker RS 485 at 300UpM). At different time points (2, 8, 16, 30, 45 and 60min) 250 pL aliquots were taken and mixed with cold methanol. The samples were frozen over night at -20oC. The solutions were centrifuged for 15 min at 3000 g. The clear supernatant (100 pL) was used to determine the concentration. The analysis was performed with an Agilent 1200 HPLC system with a LCMS/MS detector. The susceptibility of investigated compounds to degradation by phase-I oxidative metabolism was investigated using liver microsomes from different species. Compound 1 and 3 revealed very high metabolic stability in human, monkey and rat (calculated CLbiod=0.0001 L/h/kg). The recovery was almost 100% for all investigated species. Extrapolation of the in vitro to in vivo clearance (Clint) suggests a very low metabolic clearance in human, mouse, rat and monkey.

Briefly, the mice received 185 KBq of the compound each. At different time points (1, 3, 10, 30, 120 minutes p.i., 3 mice per group) the animals were sacrificed and the organs of interest or aliquots thereof were removed, weighted and finally measured in a gamma counter (Automatic Gamma Counter Wizard 2 3, Perkin Elmer). The compound was rapidly eliminated from the blood and there was no enhancement in the vessel-wall. The compound was quickly excreted over the kidney and liver and there was almost no background in the whole rest of the body after 15 minutes p.i. (Figure 3). Example 54 Blood clearance in a Cynomolgus Monkey The blood clearance of the compound described in example 40 has been determined in a cynomolgus monkey. A female cynomolgus monkey was anesthetized with a mixture of Xylazin (Rompun , Bayer HealthCare, Leverkusen, Germany), 0.12 mL/kg bodyweight and Ketamine (Ketavet®, Pfizer) 0.12 mL/kg bodyweight i.m. The monkey was placed inside the PET-scanner (Inveon PET/CT, Siemens Medical, Erlangen) and 25 MBq of the compound has been injected i.v. while PET-imaging was performed continuously from shortly before up to 60 minutes post injection. Venous blood samples were taken at 3, 10, 30 and 60 minutes p.i. and were measured in a gamma-counter (Automatic Gamma Counter Wizard 2 3, Perkin Elmer). Additionally, the blood-concentration of the compound was measured from the PET Image over the whole imaging period (Figure 4). It was found that the compound described in example 40 was rapidly cleared from the blood. There was only marginal signal visible in any other tissue. The brain was completely free of contrast. This result correlates well with the results from the pharmacokinetic study in mice and underlines again the advantageous pharmacokinetic profile of the compound. Moreover, it shows that there is also no cross reaction to any other structures (e.g. integrines) at the healthy endothelium. Example 55 Thrombus-Imaging in Cynomolgus Monkeys The ability of the compound described in example 40 for the imaging of thrombi was WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 225 investigated in a PET-study with cynomolgus monkeys (female, 2.8 - 3.2 kg). Monkey 1: The first monkey was anesthetized with a mixture of Xylazin (Rompun®, Bayer HealthCare, Leverkusen, Germany), 0.12 mL/Kg and Ketamine (Ketavet, Pfizer) 0.12 mL/Kg b.w. i. m. and additionally analgesized by an i.m. injection of 6 pg Buprenorphine per kg. While the investigation, small amounts of Ketamine have been injected i.m. if required. The left common carotid artery was exposed surgically and a polyethylene-tube (INTRAMEDIC Polyethylene Tubing, Clay Adams, PE50), which was roughened previously by sandpaper (600 - CAMI Grit designation), was inserted into the vessel, advanced into the descending aorta and was left there for 30 minutes to allow for the development of a thrombus on the rough surface of the tube. Meanwhile, the monkey was placed inside the PET-scanner (Inveon PET/CT, Siemens Medical, Erlangen). Then the monkey received 25 MBq of the compound i.v. and a PET-scan was taken from shortly before up to 60 minutes post injection. The image revealed a bright signal inside the descending aorta alongside the roughened part of the tube (Figure 5), while there was only sparse signal in any tissue around the tube. Surprisingly there was only a very thin layer of thrombus covering the rough part of the tube visible after removal of the roughened tube from the animal. The thickness of this layer was far below 1 mm (see also removed thrombus of Monkey 2, Figure 7) and therewith also far below the resolution of the image, which is approximately 1 mm. This also means, that even slightest thrombi, even if their size is far less than the resolution of the imaging-device, can be visualized due to the massive accumulation of compound on the platelets of the thrombi. At the end of the experiment the tube was removed carefully from the vessel before it was weighted and measured in a gamma counter (Automatic Gamma Counter Wizard 2 3, Perkin Elmer). Then the thrombus together with the tube was incubated in Plasmin-solution (Plasmin from Human Plasma, Sigma Aldrich, Plasmin-stock-solution: 500 pg Plasmin in 500 pL Tris-buffer (150 pM, pH 7.8), 20 pL Plasmin-stock-solution to 230 pL saline solution 0.9 %) for 48 hours to separate the platelets from the tube and to determine the netto weight of the thrombus. Finally the activity of the compound in blood and thrombus as well as the ratio between the two was determined (cpm/weight [mg)). Monkey 2: The experiment was repeated with the same compound in another monkey with a slightly different preparation of the thrombogenic tube: This tube was roughened at only two short sections with a gap in between. Apart from that, the experimental design including the determination of the in vivo clot-to-blood ratio was as described above for monkey 1. Unlike the thrombus of the first monkey now found two separate strong signals showed up in WO 2013/023795 PCT/EP2012/003583 226 the PET image with a gap in between (Figure 6). After removing the thrombogenic tube from the vessel, two separate thrombi could be found at the roughened parts of the tube (Figure 7) proving that the signals were solely deriving from thrombus and not from the tube alone. As already known from monkey 1, these two thrombi were also extremely thin (Figure 7). Monkey 3, Dose reduction & venous Thrombus The experiment was repeated with the same compound in another monkey, but with the reduced dose of 15 MBq for the whole animal. In addition to the arterial catheter, this animal also received a venous catheter, also made of PE50-catheter-tube and roughened at some parts with gaps in between as described above. This catheter was inserted into the left femoral vein and advanced into the upper caval vein. Both catheters were left in the vessels for 30 minutes before the compound was injected intravenously. PET imaging was performed from shortly before to 60 minutes after injection. As in the other monkeys, all arterial and venous thrombi showed a bright signal in the image (Figure 8). As before, most of the signal was vanished from the blood and other tissues around the thrombi within some minutes. Clot-to-blood ratio in vivo: The in vivo clot-to-blood ratio was determined from 5 thrombi out of the above described monkey experiments. As already mentioned above the thrombi had been removed from the vessels after imaging and had been weighted and measured in a gamma-counter (Automatic Gamma Counter Wizard2 3, Perkin Elmer) together with blood samples taken from the animal. After incubation of the thrombi in Plasmin (Plasmin from Human Plasma, Sigma Aldrich, Plasmin-stock-solution: 500 pg Plasmin in 500 pL Tris-buffer (150 pM, pH 7.8), 20 pL Plasmin-stock-solution to 230 pL saline solution 0.9 %) and removal of the thrombi from the catheter tubes, the netto weight of the thrombi was calculated and the concentration of the compound in thrombus (clot) and blood, as well as the ratio between the two was calculated. The in vivo clot-to-blood ratio was surprisingly high (126 +/- 52, Table 6) and significantly above the ratio described in the closest prior art (US 2007/0189970 Al).

It was found to be surprisingly high, and significantly higher than showed in the closest prior art (US 2007/0189970 Al) Conclusion: The compound described in example 40 shows surprisingly high accumulation even in slightest venous and arterial thrombi in monkeys. There was almost no background in any surrounding tissue or organ in any of the investigated monkeys. The compound almost completely remains within the thrombus over a long time (60 minutes were shown). In contrast to the closest prior art (US 2007/0189970 Al) the dose given in the here described experiments was almost 50-fold lower and the in vivo clot-to-blood ratio was significantly higher at the same time.
