WO 95/00649 (SmithKline Beecham pic) describe the phospholipase A2 enzyme Lipoprotein Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLAj). the sequence, isolation and purification thereof, isolated nucleic acids encoding the enzyme, and recombinant host cells transformed with DNA encoding the enzyme. Suggested therapeutic uses for inhibitors of the enzyme included atherosclerosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, stroke, myocardial infarction, reperfusion injury and acute and chronic inflammation. A subsequent publication from the same group further describes this enzyme (Tew D et al. Arterioscler Thromb Vas Biol 1996:16^591-9) wherein it is referred to as LDL-PLAj. A later patent application (WO 95/09921, Icos Corporation) and a related publication in Nature (Tjoelker etal, vol 374,6 April 1995,549) describe the enzyme PAF-AH which has essentially the same sequence as Lp-PLA2 and suggest that it may have potenti<il as a therapuetic protein for regulating pathological inflammatory events.
It has been shown that Lp-PLA2 is responsible for the conversion of phosphatidylcholine to lysophosphatidylcholine, during the conversion of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to its oxidised form. The enzyme is known to hydrolyse the sn-2 ester of the oxidised phosphatidylcholine to give lysophosphatidylcholine and an oxidatively modified fatty acid. Both products of Lp-PLA2 action are biologically active with lysophosphatidylcholine, a component of oxidised LDL, known to be a potent chemoattractant for circulating monocytes. As such, lysophosphatidylcholine is thought play a significant role in atherosclerosis by being responsible for the accumulation of cells loaded with cholesterol ester in the arteries. Inhibition of the Lp-PLA2 enzyme would therefore be expected to stop the build up of these macrophage enriched lesions (by inhibition of the formation of lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidised free fatty acids) and so be useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
The increased lysophosphatidylcholine content of oxidatively modified LDL is also thought to be responsible for the endothelial dysfunction observed in Printed from Mimosa PCT/EP97/D1I98 patients with atherosclerosis. Inhibitors of Lp-PLA2 could therefore prove . beneficial in the treatment of this phenomenon. An Lp-PLA2 inhibitor could also find utility in other disease states that exhibit endothelial dysfunction including diabetes, hypertension, angina pectoris and after ischaemia and re perfusion.
In addition, Lp-PLA2 inhibitors may also have a general application in any disorder that involves activated monocytes, macrophages or lymphocytes, as all of these cell types express Lp-PLA2. Examples of such disorders include psoriasis.
Furthermore, Lp-PLA2 inhibitors may also have a general application in any disorder that involves lipid peroxidation in conjunction with Lp-PLA2 activity to produce the two injurious products, lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidatively modified fatty acids. Such conditions include the aforementioned conditions atherosclerosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, stroke, myocardial infarction, reperfusion injury and acute and chronic inflammation. Further such conditions include various neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (see Psychopharmacology Bulletin, 31,159-165,1995).
An earlier patent application (WO 96/19451, SmithKline Beecham pic) discloses compounds of the formula (A): in which: Rl and r2. which may be the same or different, is each selected from hydrogen, halogen or optionally substituted C^.gjalkyl; r3 is aryl or arylCfi^alkyl which may be optionally substituted; X is a linker group; Y is an optionally substituted aryl group; and n is 0,1 or 2.
Such compounds of formula (A) are inhibitors of Lp-PLA2 and as such are expected to be of use in treating atherosclerosis and the other disease conditions noted above.
WO 97/02242 (SmithKline Beecham pic) describes further compounds having a substiuent such a methyl on the carbon attached to N-l. In addtion.
R' ch2—x-Y (A) Printed from Mimosa PCIYEP97/0I898 PCT/EP96/05587 (SmithKline Beecham pic) discloses pro-drags of compounds of formula (A) in which R^ is a 4-carboxybenzyl group.
Compounds of formula (A) exist in a number of stereoisomeric forms. The C-4 carbon of the ^-lactam ring is a chiral centre which will give rise to the presence of stereoisomers. Furthermore, in compounds of formula (A) in which n is 1, that is suiphoxide compounds, the presence of the SO moiety will introduce an additional chiral centre into the molecule and therefore give rise to the existence of extra stereoisomers. Preferred compounds of formula (A) are said to be those in which the relative configurations at C-4 and the SO moiety are R,S (4R,SS) and SJt (4S,SR) with the most preferred compounds having the absolute configuration (4A.S5).
Accordingly, the present invention provides for a compound of the formula (I): wSOCH,^ y— CO,R' jX 0 CRW —XY a) in which: Rl is hydrogen or a corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable ester or t pharmaceutical^ acceptable salt thereof; R? and R^ which may be the same or different is each selected from hydrogen or optionally substituted C( i.^aDcyl; X is a group X (CH2)m in which X is CO. CONR4, COO, CONR^O, CONHO or CH2O in which R* is hydrogen or C(i_g)alkyl and m is 0 or an integer from i to 12. or a C(i_i2)*lkylene chain optionally intempted by X'; and Y is an optionally substituted aryl group; having the absolute configuration (4A.S5).

Preferably, the absolute configuration a£ this carbon is S. In such compounds of formuh (I), the absolute configuration of the preferred cnantiomer is (a-S, 4-R, S-S).
Suitably, Y is phenyl, optionally substituted by up to three further substituents. Suitiible substituents include halo, hydroxy, C(i_8)alkyl and C(i_g)alkoxy. Preferably, Y is phenyl optionally substituted by halo, more preferably 4-chloio or 4-fIuoro-phenyl, most preferably, 4-fluoro-phenyl.

Suitable p^iarmacentically acceptable esters include C(i_6)alkyl or C(2-6)aikenyl esters, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable in vivo hydrolysable esters. The skilled person will appreciate that simple C(i_6)alkyl or C(2-6>alkenyl ben;:oate esters show little if any tendency to break down in the human body, to leave the parent acid or its salt, even though they may be susceptible to in vh o hydrolysis in animals such as rabbits and dogs. The term "in vivo hydrolysable ester" is not therefore conventionally considered to include such esters.
Suitable C(i 6)alkyl or C(2-6)&lkenyl esters include ethyl and allyl esters.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable in vivo hydrolysable ester groups for incorporation in R' include those which break down readily in the human body to leave the parent acid or its salt.

Impure preparations of the compounds of Formula 0) may be used for preparing the more pure forms used in the pharmaceutical compositions. Although the purity of intermediate compounds of the present invention is less critical, it will be readily understood that the substantially pure form is preferred as for the compounds of Formula (I). Preferably, whenever possible, the compounds of the present invention are obtained in crystalline form.
When some of the compounds of this invention arc allowed to crystallise or are recrystallised from organic solvents, solvent of crystallisation may be present in the crystalline product. This invention includes within its scope such solvates. Similarly, some of the compounds of this invention may be crystallised or recrystallised from solvents containing water. In such cases water of hydration may be formed. This invention includes within its scope stoichiometric hydrates as well as compounds containing variable amounts of water that may be produced by processes such as lyophilisation. In addition, different crystallisation Printed from Mimosa 53 2 4 7 conditions may lead to the formation of different polymorphic forms of crystalline products. Thi^ invention includes within its scope all polymorphic forms of the compounds c f Formula (I).
Compounds of the present invention are inhibitors of the enzyme lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2> and «?s such are expected to be of use in therapy, in particular in the treatment of atherosclerosis. In a further aspect therefore the present invention provides a compound of Formula (I) for use in therapy.
The compounds of Formula (I; we inhibitors of lysophosphatidy lcholine production by Lp-PLA2 and m.\y therefore also have a general application in any disorder that involves endothell-U dysfunction, for example atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, angina pectoris and after ischaemia and reperfusion. In addition, compounds of Formula (I) may have a general application in any disorder that involves lipid peroxidation in conjunction with en;:yme activity, for example in addition to conditions iuch as atherosclerosis and diabetes, other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, stroke, inflammatory conditions of the brain such as Alzheimer's Disease, myocardial infarction, reperfusion injury, sepsis, and acute and chronic inflammation. Further such conditions include various neuropsychiarric disorders such as schizophrenia (see Psychopharmacology Bulletin, 31, 15 )-165, 1995).
Further applications include any disorder that involves .activated monocytes, macrophages or lymphocyies, as all of these cell types express Lp-PLAj. Examples of such disorders include psoriasis.
Accordingly, the present invetv ion provides for a method of treating a disease state assoc iated with activity of the: enzyme Lp-PLA2 which method involves treating a patient in need thereof with a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of the ::nzyme. The disease state may be associated with the increased involvement of monocytes, macrophages or lymphocytes; with the formation of lyjophosphatidylcholine and oxidised free fatty acids; with lipid peroxidation in conjunction with Lp-PLA2 activity; or with endothelial dysfunction.
Compounds of the present invention may also be of use in treating the above mentioned disease states in combination with anti-hyperlipidaemic or anti-atherosclerotic or anti-diabetic or ar.ti-anginal or anti-inflammatory or anti-hypertension agents. Examples of the above include cholesterol synthesis INTELLECTUAL PROPERIY OFFICE OF N.Z. 16 MAY 2000 PCT/EP97/01B98 inhibitors such as statins, anti-oxidants such as probucol. insulin sensitisers. calcium channel antagonists., and anti-inflammatory drugs such as NSAIDs.

The compounds of Formula (I) which are active when given orally can be formulated liquids, for example syrups, suspensions or emulsions, tablets, capsules and lozenges.
A liquid formulation will generally consist of a suspension or solution of the compound or pharmaceutical^ acceptable salt in a suitable liquid carrier(s) for example, ethanol. glycerine, non-aqueous solvent, for example polyethylene glycol, oils, or water with a suspending agent, preservative, flavouring or colouring agent.
A composition in the form of a tablet can be prepared using any suitable pharmaceutical carrier(s) routinely used for preparing solid formulations. Examples of such carriers include magnesium stearate. starch, lactose, sucrose and cellulose.
A composition in the form of a capsule can be prepared using routine encapsulation procedures. For example, pellets containing the active Ingredient can be prepared using standard carriers and then filled into a hard gelatin capsule; alternatively, a dispersion or suspension can be prepared using any suitable pharmaceutical cairier(s), for example aqueous gums, celluloses, silicates or oils and the dispersion or suspension then Tilled into a soft gelatin capsule.
Typical parenteral compositions consist of a solution or suspension of the compound of Formula (I) in a sterile aqueous carrier or parenterally acceptable oil, for example polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone. lecithin, arachis oil or sesame oil. Alternatively, the solution can be lyophilised and then reconstituted with a suitable solvent just prior to administration.
A typical suppository formulation comprises a compound of Formula (I) which is active when administered in this way, with a binding and/or lubricating agent such as polymeric glycols, gelatins or cocoa butter or other low melting vegetable or synthetic waxes or fats.
Printed from Mimosa Preferably the composition is in unit dose form such as a tablet or capsule.
Each dosage unit for oral administration contains preferably from 1 to 500 mg (and foi parenteral administration contains preferably from 0.1 to 25 mg) of a compound of the Formula (I).
The daily dosage regimen for an adult patient may be. for example, an oral dose of between 1 mg and 1000 mg, preferably between 1 mg and 500 mg. or an intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular dose of between 0.1 mg and 100 mg. preferably between 0.1 mg and 25 mg, of the compound of the Formula (I), the compound being administered 1 to 4 times per day. Suitably the compounds will be administered for a period of continuous therapy, for example for a week or more.
