Abstrak

Amino O-aryl macrolides of the general structural Formula I: ##STR1## have been prepared from suitable precursors by arylation and amination at C-3"/C-4" of the cyclohexyl ring. These macrolide immunosuppressants are useful in a mammalian host for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and/or the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants. In addition, these macrolide immunosuppressants are useful in the topical treatment of inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin diseases and cutaneous manifestations of immunologically-mediated illnesses. Also, these macrolides are useful in the treatment of reversible obstructive airways disease, particularly asthma; as hair revitalizing agents, especially in the treatment of male pattern alopecia or alopecia senilis; in the reversal of multidrug resistance of tumor cells; in treatment of inflammation of mucosa and blood vessels, gastric ulcers, vascular damage, ischemic bowel disease, inflammatory bowel disease, necrotizing enterocolitis, intestinal lesions associated with thermal burns; in the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection; and in the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and Basedow's disease.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Immunoregulatory abnormalities have been shown to exist in a wide variety of "autoimmune" and chronic inflammatory diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, biliary cirrhosis, uveitis, multiple sclerosis and other disorders such as Chrons disease, ulcerative colitis, bullous pemphigoid, sarcoidosis, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and Graves ophthalmopathy. Although the underlying pathogenesis of each of these conditions may be quite different, they have in common the appearance of a variety of autoantibodies and self-reactive lymphocytes. Such self-reactivity may be due, in part, to a loss of the homeostatic controls under which the normal immune system operates.

Similarly, following a bone-marrow or an organ transplantation, the host lymphocytes recognize the foreign tissue antigens and begin to produce antibodies which lead to graft rejection.

One end result of an autoimmune or a rejection process is tissue destruction caused by inflammatory cells and the mediators they release. Antiinflammatory agents such as NSAID's and corticosteroids act principally by blocking the effect or secretion of these mediators but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease. On the other hand, cytotoxic agents such as cyclophosphamide, act in such a nonspecific fashion that both the normal and autoimmune responses are shut off. Indeed, patients treated with such nonspecific immunosuppressive agents are as likely to succumb from infection as they are from their autoimmune disease.

Cyclosporin A which was approved by the US FDA in 1983 is currently the leading drug used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. The drug acts by inhibiting the body's immune system from mobilizing its vast arsenal of natural protecting agents to reject the transplant's foreign protein. Though cyclosporin A is effective in fighting transplant rejection, it is nephrotoxic and is known to cause several undesirable side effects including kidney failure, abnormal liver function and gastrointestinal discomfort.

Newer, safer drugs exhibiting less side effects are constantly being searched for in the field.

The 23-membered tricyclo-macrolide immunosuppressant, FR-900506, ##STR3## (17-allyl-1,14-dihydroxy-12-[2'-(4"-hydroxy-3"-methoxycyclohexyl)-1'-methy l vinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-11,28-dioxa-4-azatricyclo[22 .3.1.0.sup.4,9 ]-octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetraone) and related compounds which were isolated and characterized by Tanaka, Kuroda, and co-workers at Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co. in Japan, see J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1987, 109, 5031, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,366, issued Jan. 16, 1990) have been shown to possess exceptional immunosuppressive activity. A Fujisawa United States patents (U.S. Pat. No. 4,929,611, issued May 29, 1990 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,956,352, issued Sep. 11, 1990) disclose the use of FK-506-type compounds in treating resistance to transplantation. In particular, the compound FR-900506 has been reported to be 100 times more effective than cyclosporin in the suppression of in vitro immune systems (J. Antibiotics 1987, 40, 1256). In addition, these compounds are reputed to possess topical activity in the treatment of inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin diseases and cutaneous manifestations of immunologically-mediated illnesses (EPO Pub. No. 0,315,978).

The compound FK-506 and related compounds further have been suggested to be useful in the treatment of obstructive airways disease, particularly asthma (PCT Publication WO 90/14826), rheumatoid arthritis (C. Arita, et al., Clincial exp. Immunol., 1990, 82, 456-461; N. Inamura, et al., Clin. Immunol. Immunopathol. 1988, 46, 82-90), recent-onset diabetes (N. Murase, et al., Diabetes, 1990, 39, 1584-86; N. Murase, et al. Lancet, 1990, 336, 373-74), posterior uveitis (H. Kawashima, Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci., 1988, 29, 1265-71), hepatic injury associated with ischemia (M. Sakr, et al., Life Sci., 1990, 47, 687-91) allergic encephalomyelitis (K, Deguchi, et al., Brain Nerve, 1990, 42, 391-97), glomerulonephritis (J. McCauley, et al., Lancet, 1990, 335, 674), systemic lupus erythematosus (K. Takabayashi, et al., Clin. Immunol. Immunopathol., 1989, 51, 110-117), multidrug resistance (M. Naito, et al., Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol., 1992, 29, 195-200), inflammation of mucosa and blood vessels (PCT Publication WO 92/17754), cytomegalovirus infection (UK Publication GB 2,247,620A), and idiopathic thrombocytophenic purpura and Basedow's disease (PCT Publication WO 91/19495).

B. Preparation of Compounds Within the Scope of the Present Invention

The starting materials for the preparation of the compounds of this invention are represented by Formula II: ##STR11## wherein: Q is hydrogen or methyl;

W is 0 or (H, OH);

R.sup.3 is hydrogen, hydroxy, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy;

R.sup.4 is hydrogen, or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 taken together form a double bond;

R.sup.5 is methyl, ethyl, propyl or allyl; and

n is 1 or 2.

The production and characterization of compounds of Formula II is well known in the literature (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,366 issued Jan. 16, 1990; U.S. Pat. No. 4,929,611 issued May 29, 1990; U.S. Pat. No. 3,244,592 issued Apr. 15, 1966; EPO Publication No. 0,323,042; EPO Publication No. 0,356,399; PBJ Disclosure 63-17884; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1987, 109, 5031; and J. Antibiotics, 1987, 40, 1249). Both biological fermentation and synthetic processes may be found. A synthetic route to compounds of Formula II can involve modifications of a route described in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1989, 111, 1157.

Biological fermentation followed by synthetic modification is presently favored in the art as the method to produce compounds of Formula II. Organisms belonging to the genus Streptomyces such as Streptomyces tsukubaensis, No. 9993 and Streptomyces hygroscopicus, No. 7238 placed in an aqueous nutrient medium will produce desired compounds in isolable amounts. The nutrient medium contains sources of assimilable carbon and nitrogen, preferably under aerobic conditions. Produced in fermentation are four compounds of Formula II, (A) where Q is methyl, W is 0, R.sup.3 is hydroxyl, R.sup.4 is hydrogen, R.sup.5 is allyl and n is 2; (B) where Q is methyl, W is 0, R.sup.3 is hydroxyl, R.sup.4 is hydrogen, R.sup.5 is ethyl and n is 2; (C) where Q is methyl, W is 0, R.sup.3 is hydroxyl, R.sup.4 is hydrogen, R.sup.5 is methyl and n is 2; and (D) where Q is methyl, W is 0, R.sup.3 is hydroxyl, R.sup.4 is hydrogen, R.sup.5 is allyl and n is 1.

A lyophilized sample of the isolated Streptomyces tsukubaensis, No. 9993 was deposited with the Fermentation Research Institute, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology (No. 1-3, Higashi 1-chome, Yatabemachi Tsukuba-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan) under the deposit number of FERM P-7886 (deposit date: Oct. 5, 1984), and then converted to Budapest Treaty route of the same depository on Oct. 19, 1985 under the new deposit number of FERM BP-927.

Using the four compounds produced in fermentation above, the remaining compounds of Formula II may be easily produced. The allyl of R.sup.5 may be conveniently reduced to propyl by well known methods, for example as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,366. The hydroxy of R.sup.3 may be protected by well known methods, for example as disclosed in EPO Publication No. 0,323,042. Likewise, the hydroxyl at C-4" may also be protected. In addition, the hydroxy of R.sup.3 may be reduced to a hydrogen or eliminated to form a double bond with R.sup.4 (by methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,366 or EPO Publication No. 0,323,042). The carbonyl of W may be reduced to the alcohol by methods disclosed in EPO Publication No. 0,323,042 or by methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,064,835.

The methyl of Q as produced may be replaced with hydrogen or demethylated and subsequently protected as desired, if necessary. This demethylation of compounds wherein Q is methyl may be carried out in a fermentation reaction using the compounds of Formula II as a feedstock. For instance, compound A named under Formula II above may be demethylated at Q above by using the microorganism Actinomycetales ATCC No. 53771 (described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,981,792, issued Jan. 1, 1991). Similarly, compound B named under Formula II above may be demethylated at Q above using the microorganism Actinoplanacete sp. ATCC No. 53771 (described in EPO Publication No. 0,349,061). In addition the compound of Formula II wherein Q is H, W is 0, R.sup.3 is hydroxy, R.sup.4 is hydrogen, R.sup.5 is ethyl and n is 2 may be produced directly by fermentation using the mutant microorganism Streptomyces hygroscopicus sup. ascomyceticus, No. 53855 (being a blocked mutant of Streptomyces hygroscopicus sup. ascomyceticus, No. 14891) (as described in EPO Publication No. 0,388,152).

The hydroxy of C-3" may be protected by methods similar to those known for the protection of the hydroxy's of R.sup.3 and/or C-4", for example as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,366.

Suitable protecting groups for hydroxyl include those groups well known in the art which are: 1-(lower alkylthio) (lower)alkyl, wherein "lower alkyl" indicates a straight, cyclic or branched chain of one to six carbon atoms, such as lower alkylthiomethyl (e.g. methylthiomethyl, ethylthiomethyl, propylthiomethyl, isopropylthiomethyl, butylthiomethyl, isobutylthiomethyl, hexylthiomethyl, etc.), and the like, in which the preferred one may be C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylthiomethyl and the most preferred one may be methylthiomethyl; trisubstituted silyl such as tri(lower)alkylsilyl (e.g. trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, tributysilyl, tri-i-propylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, tri-t-butylsilyl, etc.), lower alkyldiarylsilyl (e.g. methyl-diphenylsilyl, ethyl-diphenylsilyl, propyl-diphenylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl, etc.), and the like, in which the preferred one may be tri(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylsilyl and C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyldiphenylsilyl, and the most preferred one may be tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl, tri-i-propylsilyl and tert-butyl-diphenylsilyl; acyl such as aliphatic acyl, aromatic acyl and aliphatic acyl substituted with aromatic group, which are derived from carboxylic acids; and the like.

The novel processes for preparing the novel compounds of the present invention are illustrated as follows, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.5, Q, W and n are as defined above unless otherwise indicated. ##STR12## ##STR13##

As shown in Reaction Scheme A, a solution of the 3",4"-dihydroxy macrolide in an inert organic solvent such as methylene chloride, benzene, toluene, chloroform, or the like or mixtures thereof is treated with a triarylbismuth diacetate reagent (wherein R.sup.2 is aryl) (prepared immediately prior to use by the addition of acetic acid to a suspension of a triarylbismuth carbonate in an inert organic solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform or the like or mixtures thereof) in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(II) acetate at a temperature of 20.degree.-50.degree. C., preferably room temperature, for a period of one hour to seven days, preferably one day, to give a mixture of the 4"-O-aryl 3"-hydroxy macrolide and the 3"-O-aryl-4"-hydroxy macrolide. Alternatively, the triarylbismuth(V) reagent can be prepared by treatment of a triarylbismuthine with a suitable oxidant such as peracetic acid, iodobenzene diacetate, bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene and the like in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, toluene and the like. The triarylbismuth(V) reagent can be used without purification or can be purified by silica gel chromatography. Triarylbismuthines may be prepared by the reaction of an appropriate aryl Grignard reagent with bismuth trichloride in an inert organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, or 1,4-dioxane, or mixtures thereof, at or near room temperature for a period of 1 to 48 hours. General procedures for the preparation and use of triarylbismuth reagents may be found in Barton, D.H.E., et al., J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun., 1986, 65 and references cited therein. The 4"-O-aryl 3"-hydroxy macrolide and the 3"-O-aryl 4"-hydroxy macrolide may be separated and purified in a conventional manner, for example, fractional crystallization, recrystallization, chromatography, and the like.

As shown in Reaction Scheme B the 14-hydroxy group of a macrolide (wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.5 and n are as defined above) may be eliminated by treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid, p-bromobenzenesulfonic acid, p-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, or p-methoxybenzenesulfonic acid, or mixtures thereof, in an inert organic solvent such as benzene, or toluene or the like at a temperature of 40.degree. C. to solvent reflux temperature, preferably 60.degree. C., for about 0.5 to 6 hours, or a sufficient period of time to eliminate the 14-hydroxy group. Neutralization with an aqueous solution of a weak base such as aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate gives the 14,15-dehydro macrolide. The 14-hydroxy group may also be eliminated by activation followed by basic elimination, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,366.

As shown in Reaction Scheme C the macrolide (wherein R.sup.3.sub.a and R.sup.4.sub.a taken together form a double bond) is reduced under an atmosphere of hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst, such as rhodium on carbon catalyst or rhodium on alumina catalyst, at a pressure of atmospheric pressure to 40 psig, at or near room temperature in an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate or ethanol for about 1 to 24 hours, or until the requisite amount of hydrogen is absorbed to reduce the olefin and give the reduced macrolide. Alternatively, the procedures described in Reaction Scheme D may be performed.

In Reaction Scheme D the macrolide (wherein R.sup.3.sub.a and R.sup.4.sub.a taken together form a double bond) is reduced with tri-n-butyltin hydride in the presence of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine)palladium(O) catalyst and acetic acid in an organic solvent such as toluene or tetrahydrofuran at or near room temperature for about 2 to 10 hours to give the reduced macrolide. By changing the sequence of synthetic steps, all possible variations in substitution may be obtained. For example, the C-14 hydroxy can be eliminated and the resultant olefin reduced prior to the introduction of substituents at C-3" and/or the C-4".

Protection of the C-3" and/or the C-4" hydroxy group may be accomplished by methods known in the prior art for compounds of Formula II such as by treatment with: 2,6-lutidine and triisopropylsilyl trifluoromethane sulfonate in a solution of methylene chloride; 2,6-lutidine and t-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in a solution of methylene chloride; pyridine and acetic anhydride in a solution of methylene chloride; pyridine and benzoyl chloride in a solution of methylene chloride; pyridine and p-nitrobenzoyl chloride in a solution of methylene chloride; imidazole and t-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride in a solution of methylene chloride; and the like.

As shown in Reaction Scheme E the C-14-OTIPS protected macrolide is prepared from the 4",14-dihydroxy macrolide and reacted with diphenyl phosphoryl azide in the presence of triphenyl phosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate to introduce the azide substituent at the C-4" position. The protecting group at C-14 is removed and reduction of the azide with triphenylphosphine/water gives the C-4" amino compound.

An alternate route to C-3"/C-4" amino substituted compounds is shown in Reaction Scheme F. The macrolide is protected if necessary and reacted with o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride or trifluoromethanesulfonyl anhydride in the presence of an amine base to give the mono- C-3"/C-4" o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl or trifluoromethanesulfonyl derivative. The activated leaving group group is displaced by treatment with sodium azide (or an alternative nucleophillic amine), the protecting group is removed, if necessary, by treatment with hydrogen fluoride and, if necessary, the azide is reduced with triphenyl phosphine/water to give the amino compound. Azides can be reduced with other reagents known in the art, such as with hydrogen sulfide, propane-1,3-dithol, or thioacetic acid or by catalytic hydrogenation over a suitable catalyst.

As shown in Reaction Scheme G, the opposite stereochemistry of the resultant amino compound can be obtained by proceeding thru an epoxide as a synthetic intermediate. Reaction of the C-3"-beta, C-4"-alpha dihydroxy macrolide (wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen or protected hydroxy) with o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride followed by separation of the isomers and treatment with a tertiary amine base, such as triethylamine, gives the two possible epoxides. The beta-epoxide may be opened by treatment with azide to give the C-3"-beta hydroxy C-4"-alpha-azido macrolide. The C-3"-hydroxyl group may be arylated, prior to reduction of the azide to the amine (by the methods of Reaction Scheme E), and the resultant amine may be further modified by methods described in Reaction Scheme I.

An amino substituent may also be introduced at C-4" by reductive amination of a keto-substituted macrolide as shown in Reaction Scheme H. The ketone at C-4" is prepared by Swern oxidation of a suitably protected hydroxy-macrolide. Reductive amination of the ketone with an appropriate amine gives the corresponding amino-macrolide as a mixture of epimers at C-4".

Compounds bearing a C-4" amino substituent may be further modified by methods which are known in the art as exemplified in Reaction Scheme I. These method include, but are not limited to such methods as: acylation with an appropriate acid halide or acid anhydride in the presence of an amine base to give the corresponding amide, coupling with an appropriate carboxylic acid to give the corresponding amide, reaction with an isocyanate to give the urea derivative, treatment with an ethyl chloroformate equivalent to give the corresponding urethane or alkylation with an appropriate alkyl halide to give the corresponding secondary, tertiary or quarternary alkyl amine.

An amino substituent may also be modified at C-3" and/or C-4" by reductive amination of an amino-substituted macrolide as shown in Reaction Scheme J (wherein R.sup.6a or R.sup.6b and R.sup.7a or R.sup.7b are respectively equivalent to R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 absent one methyl group). The imine is prepared by reaction of the amine with an appropriate aldehyde or ketone. Reduction of the imine with sodium cyanoborohydride or similar reducing agent gives the corresponding amino-macrolide. The reductive amination may be repeated to give mixed-disubstituted amino macrolides.

The procedures described in Reaction Schemes E-J may optionally be conducted prior to the procedures of Reaction Schemes A-D. Additionally, the procedures described in Reaction Schemes B and C may be conducted subsequent to the procedures of Reaction Schemes E-J. In general, however, it is preferred that the O-aryl group be introduced prior to the introduction of the amino functionality.

The object compounds of Formula I obtained according to the reactions as explained above can be isolated and purified in a conventional manner, for example, extraction, precipitation, fractional crystallization, recrystallization, chromatography, and the like.

It is to be noted that in the aforementioned reactions and the post-treatment of the reaction mixture therein, the stereoisomer(s) of starting and object compounds due to asymmetric carbon atom(s) or double bond(s) of the object compounds of Formula I may occasionally be transformed into the other stereo isomer(s), and such cases are also included within the scope of the present invention.

In the present invention, compounds with asymmetric centers may occur as racemates, diastereomeric mixtures and as individual diastereomers, with all isomeric forms of the compounds being included in the present invention. These may be prepared by methods such as those disclosed in publications which describe synthetic routes to fragments of the macrolide FR-900506 and the total synthesis of the macrolide FR-900506 itself (see for example, J.

T-Cell Proliferation Assay

1. Sample Preparation

The compounds to be assayed were dissolved in absolute ethanol at 1 mg/ml.

2. Assay

Spleens from C57B1/6 mice were taken under sterile conditions and gently dissociated in ice-cold RPMI 1640 culture medium (GIBC), Grand Island, N.Y.) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (GIBO)). Cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 1500 rpm for 8 minutes. Contaminating red cells were removed by treating the pellet with ammonium chloride lysing buffer (GIBO)) for 2 minutes at 4.degree. C. Cold medium was added and cells were again centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 8 minutes. T lymphocytes were then isolated by separation of the cell suspension on nylon wool columns as follows: Nylon wool columns were prepared by packing approximately 4 grams of washed and dried nylon wool into 20 ml plastic syringes. The columns were sterilized by autoclaving at 25.degree. F. for 30 minutes. Nylon wool columns were wetted with warm (37.degree. C.) culture medium and rinsed with the same medium. Washed spleen cells resuspended in warm medium were slowly applied to the nylon wool. The columns were then incubated in an upright position at 37.degree. C. for 1 hour. Non-adherent T lymphocytes were eluted from the columns with warm culture medium and the cell suspensions were spun as above.

Purified T lymphocytes were resuspended at 2.5.times.10.sup.5 cells/ml in complete culture medium composed of RPMI 1640 medium with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 100 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 2.times.10.sup.-5 M 2-mercaptoethanol and 50 .mu.g/ml gentamycin. Ionomycin was added at 250 ng/ml and PMA at 10 ng/ml. The cell suspension was immediately distributed into 96 well flat-bottom microculture plates (Costar) at 200 .mu.l/well. The various dilutions of the compound to be tested were then added in triplicate wells at 20 .mu.l/well. The compound 17-allyl-1,14-dihydroxy-12-[2'-(4"-hydroxy-3"-methoxycyclohexyl)-1'-methyl vinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-11,28-dioxa-4-azatricyclo[22 .3.1.0.sup.4,9 ]octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetraone was used as a standard. The culture plates were then incubated at 37.degree. C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO.sub.2 -95% air for 44 hours. The proliferation of T lymphocytes was assessed by measurement of tritiated thymidine incorporation. After 44 hours of culturing, the cells were pulse-labelled with 2 .mu.Ci/well of tritiated thymidine (NEN, Cambridge, Mass.). After another 4 hours of incubation, cultures were harvested on glass fiber filters using a multiple sample harvester. Radioactivity of filter discs corresponding to individual wells was measured by standard liquid scintillation counting methods (Betacounter). Mean counts per minute of replicate wells were calculated and the results expressed as concentration of compound required to inhibit tritiated thymidine uptake of T-cells by 50%.

A selection of compounds were tested according to the previous procedure. The title compounds of the following Examples had activity in inhibiting the proliferation of T-cells in the aforementioned assay:

24, 25, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58 and 59.

The results of this assay are representative of the intrinsic immunosuppressive activity of the compounds of the present invention.

While the foregoing specification teaches the principles of the present invention, with examples provided for the purpose of illustration, it will be understood that the practice of the invention encompasses all of the casual variations, adaptations, modifications, deletions, or additions of procedures and protocols described herein, as come within the scope of the following claims and its equivalents.
