Abstract
Amine salts of 3-{2-oxo-3-[3-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,8]naphthyridin-2-yl)-propyl]imidazolidin-1-yl}-3-(6-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)propionic acid are potent antagonists of the integrin αvβ3 receptor and are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of osteoporosis and vascular restenosis, as well as conditions associated with excessive angiogenesis, such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, atherosclerosis, inflammatory arthritis, cancer, and metastatic tumor growth. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the novel salts as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing the salts and methods of using the salts.
