Abstract
This invention discloses compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and prodrugs thereof, useful in therapeutically and/or prophylactically treating patients with an illness. Such illnesses include cancer, and secondary infections caused by Pneumocystis carinii, Toxoplasma gondii, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Mycobacterium avium. The compounds themselves, methods of making these compounds, and methods of using these compounds are all disclosed. The compounds include 5-thiapyrimidines.
Description
- This invention relates to pyrimidine compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and prodrugs thereof. The present compounds have been found useful in resisting and treating infections in immunocompromised patients. These compounds are also useful as antitumor, antibiotic, antimalarial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antituberculosis and antiMycobacterium avium agents, and can also be used as synergistic agents when used with sulfonamides. Methods of preparing and using these compounds are also provided.
- Various pyrimidine systems, such as the pyrido pyrimidines, pyrrolo pyrimidines and furo pyrimidines, have been studied due to their involvement in the inhibition of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme activity. Because DHFR reduces dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate, inhibition of DHFR deprives the cell of tetrahydrofolate, without which the cell cannot produce 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate. 5,10-Methylene-tetrahydrofolate is essential for cell growth. The inhibition of DHFR by the compounds of this invention results in the inhibition of DNA synthesis and leads to cell death.
- The pyrimidine derivatives disclosed herein also function as thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitors. TS, along with DHFR, forms part of the system responsible for the synthesis of deoxythymidylate (dTMP) from deoxyuridylate (dUMP). TS catalyzes the sole de novo synthesis of dTMP from dUMP. Inhibition of TS, therefore, deprives the cell of thymidine, which is an essential constituent of DNA.

This alkyl moiety may also contain oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atoms, and can therefore be an alkoxy group. The aryl moiety of the alkylaryl group is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, as that term is described above.
- The aryl and alkylaryl groups are optionally substituted with one or more substituents as listed above. In the case of more than one substituent, the substituents are independently selected. “Alkoxy groups” and “alkyl groups” include straight or branched chains having up to about six members. “Halogen” refers to chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine. “Aryl groups” is as described above. When a carboxylic acid is a substituent, it will be appreciated that the moiety represents an acid such as benzoic acid. “Acyl” refers to an organic acid group in which the OH is replaced by some other substituent, and is generally designated as RCO— where R is a C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl, or C2-6 alkynyl straight or branched chain group.
- As used herein, the term aroyl, such as when used within the term p-aroyl-L-glutamate, refers to heteroaroyl, benzoyl, napthoyl, thiophenoyl, furophenoyl, pyrroyl, and any other “aroyl” as that term would be understood by one skilled in the art. “Aroyl” is generally defined in the art as an aromatic or heteroaromatic compound having a carbonyl moiety. “Glutamate” will be understood as representing both the ester form (glutamate) and the acid form (glutamic acid).
- As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates” include salts or solvates of the present pyrimidine compounds suitable for use in pharmaceutical applications. One skilled in the art would easily be able to determine whether a salt or solvate form of any given compound is suitable for use as a pharmaceutical. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include but are not limited to, acetate, formate, glucuronate, ethantate, and sulfonate. Other examples include alkaline metal, alkaline earth metal, other non-toxic metals, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts such as the sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, ammonium, trimethyl ammonium, triethyl ammonium, tetrabutyl ammonium, pyridinium and substituted pyridinium salts. “Pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs” similarly refers to any prodrug formulations of the present compounds. A prodrug will be understood by those skilled in the art as a chemical compound that is converted into an active curative agent by processes within the body. Other formulations comprising the pyrimidine compounds described herein are also within the scope of the present inventions.
- It will be understood that “pyrimidine compounds” or “pyrimidine derivatives” as used herein refers collectively to the compounds of
Formula 1, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and prodrugs thereof. In addition, although the compounds ofFormula 1 are depicted throughout this description in the 4-oxo form, and are referred to as such throughout this description, the oxo group exists in tautomeric equilibrium with the corresponding 4-hydroxy group and it will be understood that in each case the tautomeric hydroxyl form is also indicated. A compound of the invention may be active per se, or it may be a precursor which is converted in vivo to an active compound. Compounds of the present invention may possess at least one chiral center. Thus, “pyrimidine compounds” include mixtures of diastereomers or enantiomers, as well as diastereomers and enantiomers substantially free of other diastereomers or enantiomers. The compounds disclosed in the present invention can all be generally described as antifolates that inhibit dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzymes. The DHFR enzymes are needed for normal cell growth because they reduce dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. Tetrahydrofolate is a precursor of 5,10methylenetetrahydrofolate, which is essential for DNA replication and thus cell growth. By inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, the present compounds consequently inhibit DNA synthesis. Inhibition of DNA synthesis results in cell death. - In addition, the pyrimidine compounds of the present invention inhibit thymidylate synthase (TS). TS, along with DHFR, forms part of the system responsible for the synthesis of deoxythymidylate (dTMP) from deoxyuridylate (dUMP). Inhibition of TS deprives the cell of thymidine, which is an essential component of DNA.
- Preferred embodiments of the compounds of
Formula 1 are provided in Table 1. For all of these compounds, Z is sulfur and R1 is H.Compound R 167 4-chlorophenyl 165 1-naphthyl 185 4-nitrophenyl 171 2-chlorophenyl 184 3,5-dichlorophenyl 181 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl 175 3-methoxyphenyl 170 4-benzoic acid 186 aryl oxyaryl 176 2,6-dichlorophenyl 188 2-pyridine 179 4-pyridine 198 2-methoxyphenyl 199 2-(4-phenyl)thiazole 174 2-naphthyl 177 2,4-dichlorophenyl 169 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl 197 methyl 2-chlorophenyl 180 methyl 4-chlorophenyl 194 methyl 4-methylphenyl 196 methyl 3-methylphenyl 187 methylphenyl 191 methyl 3-methoxyphenyl 190 methyl 3,4-dichlorophenyl193 methyl 2,4-dichlorophenyl202 methyl 4-bromophenyl - The compounds of
Formula 1, especially those in Table 1, are potent inhibitors of DHFR and as such have, among other things, excellent antitumor ability and excellent prevention and/or treatment of opportunistic infection ability, including infection caused by, for example, Pneumocystis carinii, Toxoplasma gondii, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium. - The present invention is also directed to methods for synthesizing compounds of
Formula 1 as described above. In one embodiment for preparing thiapyrimidine compounds, the methods generally comprise the steps of combining 2,4-diamino-6-oxopyrimidine with a thiol or mercaptan compound that reflects the substituent to be attached to the five-position of the pyrimidine ring. This compound is referred to herein as the sulfur containing substituent, and is represented by the “Z-R” moiety informula 1, wherein Z is sulfur and R is as described above. FIG. 1 illustrates the present method for making 2,4-diamino-6-oxo-5-(4′ nitrophenylthio) pyrimidine, which is a representative method for making all of the present thiapyrimidine compounds. In the figure, 2,4-diamino-6-oxopyrimidine is reacted with 4-nitrothiophenol. It will be appreciated that 4-nitrothiophenol would be replaced with other compounds depending on the final product desired by the user. 2,4-diamino-6-oxopyrimidine is commercially available from Aldrich Chemical Co. The oxopyrimidine and acidic substituent compound is subjected to a mild reflux. As soon as the reflux starts, iodine is added to the reflux mixture. The reflux step is continued until the sulfur containing substituent reacts with the oxopyrimidine. This period can be as short as 1.5 hours or can take 24 hours or longer. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) can be used to determine the amount of starting material remaining in the reflux mixture. In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, the acidic substituent compound is dissolved in an ethanol/water solution comprising a 2:1 volume to volume ratio of ethanol to water. The molar ratio of oxopyrimidine to sulfur containing substituent is in the range of between 1:1 and 1:3. Thus, a stoichiometric excess of the acidic substituent compound can be used. Iodine is added in a molar ratio of between-about 1:2 and 1:4 based on the amount of the oxopyrimidine used. - The solution is cooled to room temperature, which causes the solid product to precipitate out. Any means standard in the art can be used to remove the precipitate; filtration is preferred. The residue is then preferably washed with successive ethylacetate, ethanol and ethyl ether washes. This will remove unreacted sulfur containing substituent and other unreacted material, byproducts or contaminants. The washed residue can then be further mixed with, for example, ethanol and refluxed for an additional period of time, such as 2-5 minutes to remove any unreacted sulfur containing substituent that still remains in the mixture. The product that precipitates upon cooling can again be separated from the solution by standard methods, such as filtration. Again, TLC can be used at any stage to determine the presence of unreacted starting material and to confirm the purity of the final product. It is an advantage of the present methods that a pure product results following reflux with ethanol, without the need for additional purification steps.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the invention for making compounds of
Formula 1 wherein Z is NH or O. Reference numbers refer to those in the figure. In this embodiment, 2,4-diamino-6-oxopyrimidine(1) is refluxed with EtSH in a 2:1 solution of ethanol:water ratio (v/v). Iodine is added cautiously and the mixture refluxed for about two hours, after which the solution is cooled. The precipitate that results upon cooling can be removed, such as by filtration, and washed successively with water, ethyl acetate, ethanol and ethyl ether.Compound 2 results, and is then dissolved in a dichloromethane-methanol solution. An oxone is added to the solution, resulting incompound 3. This compound is then reacted with a compound having the formula ArXH in DMSO to yieldcompound 4, wherein X is NH or O and Ar is aryl. It will be appreciated that FIG. 2 depicts “R” as an aryl group, but any of the R groups as described above can be used. - Salts, solvates and prodrugs of the compounds of
Formula 1 can be made by standard methods well known to those skilled in the art. - The present invention further relates to methods of using the above-described compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof, to treat a patient with an illness. “Treating” and “treatment” are used generically throughout to refer to both therapeutic and prophylactic treating/treatment that is effected by inhibition of DHFR and/or TS in a patient. As used herein, the term “illness” refers to cancer, infection byPneumocystis carinii, Toxoplasma gondii, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium, or other secondary infections arising in immunocompromised patients, such as those with AIDS, and infections caused by bacteria, malaria, fungi or protozoa. “Cancer” refers to any type of cancer including, but not limited to, leukemia, lung cancer, colon cancer, CNS cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer.
- A method of treating a patient for an illness according to the present invention comprises administering an effective amount of one or more compounds of
Formula 1 to a patient. - As used herein, the term “patient” means members of the animal kingdom including but not limited to human beings.
- As used herein, the term “effective amount” refers to that amount of any of the present compounds required to bring about a desired effect in a patient. The desired effect will vary depending on the illness being treated. For example, the desired effect may be reducing tumor size, destroying cancerous cells, or resisting/treating infection caused by organisms such asPneumocystis carinii and Toxoplasma gondii. On its most basic level, an effective amount is that amount needed to inhibit DHFR and/or TS. Any amount of inhibition will yield a benefit to a patient and is therefore within the scope of the invention.
- It will be appreciated that the effective amount will vary from patient to patient depending on such factors as the illness being treated, the severity of the illness, the size of the patient being treated, the patient's ability to mount an immune response, and the like. The determination of an effective amount for a given patient is within the skill of one practicing in the art. Typically an effective amount will be determined by evaluating potency in standard ex vivo cellular systems, followed by preclinical and clinical in vivo assessment.
- Administration can be by any means known in the art, such as parenterally, orally or topically. The pyrimidine compound can be contained within a suitable pharmaceutical carrier for administration according to the present methods. “Suitable pharmaceutical carrier” refers to any pharmaceutical carrier known in the art that will solubilize the present compounds and will not give rise to compatibility problems and includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutical use is well-known in the art. Use of any of these media or agents is contemplated by the present invention, absent compatability problems with the chimeric proteins. Preferred carriers include physiologic saline and 5% dextrose.
- It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the patients being treated, each unit containing a predetermined quantity or effective amount of pyrimidine compound to produce the desired effect in association with the pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms of the invention are dictated by and directly dependent on the particular compound and the particular effect to be achieved.
- The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way. Standard test procedures familiar to those skilled in the art were used in the examples, such as those procedures described by Gangjee, A., et al., in “5-Arylthio-substituted 2-amino-4-oxo-6-methyl pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine antifolates as thymidylate synthase inhibitors and antitumor agents”,J. Med. Chem., Vol. 38, pp. 4495-4502 (1995); “Effect of bridge region variation on antifolate and antitumor activity of classical 5-substituted 2,4-diamino furo [2,3-d]pyrimidines”, J. Med.

Chem., Vol. 38, pp. 2158-2165 (Jun. 6, 1995) and references disclosed therein. - A mixture of 2,4-diamino-6-oxopyrimidine (189 mg, 1.50 mmol) and 4-nitrothiophenol (427 mg, 2.20 mmol) in 45 mL EtOH/H2O (2/1, v/v) was refluxed for 10 minutes. To this refluxing solution iodine (0.913 g, 3.60 mmol) was added and reflux continued for two hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature. The precipitate that formed was collected by filtration. The residue was washed with AcOEt, EtOH and Ethyl ether. The light yellow residue was added to 100 mL EtOH and refluxed for three minutes and then cooled to room temperature. The light yellow precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to afford 398.9 mg analytically pure compound (yield 95%).
- The following analyses indicate that that product was 2,4-diamino-6-oxo-5-(4′-nitrophenylthio)pyrimidine:
Mp >300° C. (dec.) 1HNMR: δ 6.57 (brs, 4H); 7.21 (d, 2H, J=6.93Hz); 8.09 (d, 2H, J=6.93 Hz); 10.24 (s, 1H). Anal. (C10H9N5O3S) C, H, N, S Calc. C 43.01 H 3.25 N 25.08 S 1148 Measured C 43.04 H 3.52 N 24.81 S 11.80 - All other compounds of the present invention can be made using this methodology by substituting 4-nitrothiophenol with any compound that will result in the desired substituent being attached to the five position of the pyrimidine. All other parameters such as molar ratios, reflux times, solvents can be readily determined by one skilled in the art following the above guidelines.
