Description

WO 03/064405 PCT/EP03/00487 Drechsleranol derivatives, processes for their preparation and their use The present invention relates to novel compounds called drechsleranols, which are formed by the microorganism Drechslera australiensis, ST 003360, DSM 14093, or a fungus ST 004112, DSM 14524 which has not been determined more closely taxonomically, during fermentation, a process for the preparation of these compounds and their use for the production of pharmaceuticals, in particular for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of degenerative neuropathies, for example of Alzheimer's disease, or psychic disorders, such as depression, sleep disturbances or seasonally related affective disorders.
Alzheimer's disease is a neuropsychiatric disorder which mainly occurs in elderly people. The disease is manifested in a symptom complex which includes memory disorders, reduced perceptivity, orientation disorders, speech disorders, disorders of coordinated thought, etc. In Alzheimer patients, characteristic neurohistological changes are found in the brain, such as, for example, the deposits of "amyloid plaques" and also a degeneration of the neurofibrils in the nerve cells ("fibrillar bundles"). These changes are admittedly characteristic, but nonspecific, since they also occur to a smaller extent in the normal ageing process.
At present no causal treatment, but only symptomatic treatment, is possible. So far there are medicaments which only delay the course of the disease, but they are not able to cure it. The group consisting of the cerebral acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (Tacrin®, Donepezil®, Rivastigmin®, Galantamin®), currently offers the most important therapeutic approach, since for the memory-relevant structures, which are impaired to a considerable extent in Alzheimer's, cholinergic signal transmission plays a great role. The medicaments, however, can only be employed in the mild and middle stages of the disease. They increase the concentration of acetylcholine in the information-transmitting synapses of the brain. If there is too severe damage to the neurons, i.e. in the late stage of the disease, they are no longer effective. Further substances whose use has been investigated are estrogens, nonsteroidal analgesics, antioxidants and nerve growth factors (NGF).
It is estimated that at present there are approximately one million people in the Federal Republic of Germany who are suffering from Alzheimer's disease. This figure will presumably increase still further in the next few years on account of the increasing life expectancy of the population. Novel substances for the treatment of this disorder are therefore urgently necessary.
The group consisting of the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are protein kinases which are activated by oxidative stress. So far, it is known that only JNK-3 (in contrast to JNK-1 and JNK-2) is expressed in the neurons of the human brain. There are indications that the JNKs have an influence on cell death. This cell death (or apoptosis) is probably the causal mechanism of the death of the neurons in the brain of Alzheimer's patients (Kumagae et al., Mol. Brain Res. (1999), 67(1), 10-7). The activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase is one step in this mechanism. Inhibition at this position should thus prevent apoptosis, and thereby counteract the development of the Alzheimer's disorder and halt its progress.
A further aspect of the present invention is the treatment and/or prophylaxis of psychic disorders. Circadian rhythms are generated by endogenous timers which are present in a great variety of organisms. The circadian clock is important for the maintenance of the biological rhythm. It is self-sustaining and constant, even in total darkness, but it can be synchronized by external signals, such as, for example, changes in the light or the temperature. The internal clock controls the daily fluctuations of behavior, activity, food intake, the sleeping/waking cycle just as physiological changes such as, for example, hormone secretion and changes in the body temperature (Keesler et al., Neuroreport (2000), 11(5), 951-955).
Period (PER) is a central protein of this circadian clock, which is subject to daily variations with respect to its concentration or its phosphorylation state. The phosphorylation of human PER1 (hPER1) by the enzyme human casein kinase 1 epsilon (hCK1E) causes a decrease in the protein stability with hPER1.
Phosphorylated hPER1 has a half life of approximately 12 hours, whereas unphosphorylated hPER1 remains stable in cells for longer than 24 hours. An influencing of this central protein hPER1 is clinically of importance especially in diseases which are connected with a disorder of the internal clock, such as, for example, depression (Souetre E. et al., Annales medico-physiologiques, 1985, 143(9), 845-870), sleep disturbances or seasonally related affective disorders. For the treatment of depression, so far monoamine oxidase inhibitors and inhibitors of the reuptake of noradrenalin and/or serotonin into the axoplasma tricyclic antidepressants) are available, the exact mechanism of action hitherto not being clarified. With an inhibitor of hCK1E, one would have available a new active principle for the treatment of psychic disorders, such as, for example, of sleep disturbances, seasonally related affective disorders and in particular of depression.

Such a compound is described by formula (III): OH HO Chiral centers in the compounds of the formula and (II) can be present, if not stated otherwise, in the R or in the S configuration. The invention relates both to the optically pure compounds and to mixtures of stereoisomers, such as mixtures of enantiomers and mixtures of diastereomers, in any ratio.
The invention furthermore relates to obvious chemical equivalents of the compounds of the formulae (II) or (III).
Obvious chemical equivalents of the compounds according to the invention are compounds which have the same activity as the compounds according to the invention and exhibit a slight chemical difference or are converted into the compounds according to the invention under mild conditions. The equivalents mentioned include, for example, ethers, esters, reduction products and complexes of the compounds according to the invention.
For example, one or more hydroxyl groups of the compounds of the formula (11) or (111) can be etherified, for example with a C1-C6-alcohol with addition of acid, or esterified with, for example, an activated acid, for example acid chlorides or other acid derivatives. It is further possible, for example, for one or more double bonds of the compound of the formula (11) or (111) to be reduced using a reductant, double bonds, for example, being reduced using H 2 /Pd.
The phenol groups of the compounds according to the invention can furthermore form chelates with mono- or polyvalent cations. Compounds which contain chelateforming phenol groups moreover have an antioxidant effect Sugihara et al., Journal of Health Science 2001, 47(2), 99-106). Antioxidants (oxidation inhibitors) are organic compounds which inhibit or prevent undesired changes in the substances to be protected caused by the effects of oxygen. Antioxidants are needed, for example, in plastics for protection against ageing, in fats for protection against rancidity, in oils against resinification, in aromatic substances against deterioration in odor, in foodstuffs, in pharmaceuticals, etc. The action of the antioxidants is usually that they act as radical scavengers for the free radicals occurring in the oxidation. The compounds of the formula (11) and (111) can therefore also be used as chelating agents and as antioxidants.
The abovementioned methods for derivatization are described in textbooks such as Jerry March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, John Wiley Sons, 4 th Edition, 1992. In order to carry out reactions selectively, it can be advantageous to introduce suitable protective groups in a manner known per se before the reaction. The protective groups are removed after the reaction, then the reaction product is purified.
The compounds of the formulae (11) and (111), and the obvious chemical equivalents thereof, can be converted into the corresponding pharmaceutically tolerable salts according to methods known to the person skilled in the art.
Pharmacologically tolerable salts of the compounds according to the invention are understood as meaning both inorganic and organic salts, such as are described in Remingtons Pharmaceutical Sciences (17th edition, page 1418 [1985]). Possible salts are, in particular, alkali metal, ammonium and alkaline earth metal salts, salts with physiologically tolerable amines and salts with inorganic or organic acids such as, for example, HCI, HBr, H 2
SO
4 maleic acid, fumaric acid.

2001 under the following number: DSM 14093.
The strain Drechslera australiensis, ST 003360, DSM 14093, has a dark black-brown mycelium and has no further characteristic features.
An isolate of a hitherto taxonomically undetermined fungus, ST 004112, was deposited in the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSM), Mascheroder Weg 1B, 38124 Brunswick, Germany according to the rules of the Budapest convention under the following number: DSM 14524.
The strain ST 004112, DSM 14524, is gray to black on malt agar. The strain was isolated from a soil sample from French Guyana.
The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of the compound of the formula which comprises culturing the microorganism ST 003360 (DSM 14093) or a variant and/or mutant of ST 003360 (DSM 14093) in an aqueous nutrient medium, isolating and purifying a compound of the formula and converting it, if appropriate, into an obvious chemical equivalent and/or a pharmacologically tolerable salt.

The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of a compound of the formula which comprises a) culturing the microorganism ST 003360 (DSM 14093) or a variant and/or mutants of ST 003360 (DSM 14093) in an aqueous culture medium, and isolating and purifying the compound of the formula or culturing the microorganism ST 004112 (DSM 14524) or a variant and/or mutants of ST 004112 (DSM 14524) in a culture medium, and isolating and purifying the compound of the formula (III), and b) converting a compound of the formula (II) or a compound of the formula (III) into a compound of the formula and c) converting the compound of the formula if appropriate, into a pharmacologically tolerable salt.
Instead of the strain Drechslera australiensis, DSM 14093, or of the strain ST 004112, DSM 14524, their respective mutants and/or variants can also be employed.
A mutant is a microorganism in which one or more genes of the genome have been modified, the gene or the genes being functionally and hereditarily retained which are responsible for the capability of the organism to produce the inventive compound.
Such mutants can be produced in a manner known per se by physical means, for example irradiation, such as using ultraviolet rays or X-rays, or chemical mutagens, such as, for example, ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS); 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (MOB) or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), or as described by Brock et al. in "Biology of Microorganisms", Prentice Hall, pages 238- 247 (1984).
A variant is a phenotype of the microorganism. The microorganisms have the ability to adapt to their environment and therefore show marked physiological flexibility. In the phenotypic adaptation, cells of the microorganism are involved, the nature of the modification not being genetically conditioned and being reversible under modified conditions Stolp, Microbial ecology: organisms, habitats, activities. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, GB, page 180, 1988).
The screening for mutants and variants which produce the antibiotic according to the invention can be carried out by determination of the biological activity of the active compound accumulated in the culture broth, for example by determination of the JNK-3- or hCK1E-inhibiting action, or by detection of compounds, which are known as JNK-3- or hCK1E-inhibiting, in the fermentation broth by, for example, HPLC or LC-MS methods.
The fermentation course and the formation of the compounds according to the invention can be monitored according to methods known to the person skilled in the art, such as, for example, by testing the biological activity in bioassays or by chromatographic methods such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC) or highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
In a nutrient medium which contains at least one carbon and nitrogen source and also the customary inorganic salts, under aerobic conditions the strain Drechslera australiensis, ST 003360, DSM 14093, produces the compound of the formula (11) according to the invention, and the strain ST 004112, DSM 14542, produces the compound of the formula (111) according to the invention.
The fermentation conditions described below apply for the strain Drechslera australiensis, ST 003360, DSM 14093, and for the strain ST 004112, DSM 14524.
Suitable preferred carbon sources for the aerobic fermentation are assimilable carbohydrates and sugar alcohols, such as glucose, lactose, sucrose or D-mannitol and carbohydrate-containing natural products, such as, for example, malt extract.
Suitable nitrogen-containing nutrients are: amino acids, peptides and proteins and their degradation products, such as peptones or tryptones, furthermore meat extracts, yeast extracts, ground seeds, for example of corn, wheat, beans, soy or of the cotton plant, distillation residues from alcohol production, meat meals or yeast extracts, but also ammonium salts and nitrates. Organic salts which the nutrient solution can contain are, for example, chlorides, carbonates, sulfates or phosphates of the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, iron, zinc, cobalt and manganese. Trace elements which the nutrient solution can contain are, for example, molybdenum, copper, nickel or selenium.
The formation of the compound (11) according to the invention proceeds particularly well in a nutrient solution which contains approximately 0.1 to preferably 0.5% to of potato dextrose and 0.2 to preferably 0.5 to of yeast extract. The details in percent are in each case based on the weight of the entire nutrient solution.
The formation of the compound (111) according to the invention proceeds particularly well in a nutrient solution which contains approximately 0.1 to preferably 0.5% to of malt extract and 0.2 to preferably 0.5 to of yeast extract. The details in percent are in each case based on the weight of the entire nutrient solution.
The culturing of the microorganism is carried out aerobically, for example, submerse with shaking and stirring in shaker flasks or fermenters, optionally with introduction of air or oxygen or on solid media. It can be carried out in a temperature range from approximately 18 to 350C, preferably at approximately 20 to 300C, in particular at 22 to 280C. The pH range should be between 4 and 8, preferably between 5 and 6. The microorganism is cultured under these conditions, in general, over a period of 24 to 300 hours, preferably 36 to 168 hours.
Culturing is advantageously carried out in a number of stages, i.e. one or more precultures are first prepared in a liquid nutrient medium, which are then inoculated into the actual production medium, the main culture, for example in the volume ratio 1:10 to 1:100. The preculture is obtained, for example, by inoculating a mycelium into a nutrient medium and allowing it to grow for approximately 36 to 120 hours, preferably 48 to 72 hours. The mycelium can be obtained, for example, by allowing the strain to grow for approximately 3 to 40 days, preferably 4 to 10 days, on a solid or liquid nutrient medium, for example malt-yeast agar or potato dextrose agar.
The invention is illustrated further in the following examples. Percentage details relate to the weight. Mixing ratios in the case of liquids relate to the volume, if no other details have been given.
The inventive compounds occur both in the mycelium and in the culture filtrate. It is therefore expedient to separate the fermentation solution into the culture filtrate and the mycelium by filtration and to dry them separately. The dried culture filtrate and the dried mycelium are expediently separately extracted using an organic solvent, for example methanol or propan-2-ol.
If a culture has been applied to solid medium, the inventive compounds are present both in the mycelium and in the solid agar medium. The entire culture is expediently lyophilized and the lyophilizate is extracted with an organic solvent, for example methanol or propan-2-ol.
The extraction can be carried out in a wide pH range, but it is expedient to work in a neutral or weakly alkaline medium, preferably between pH 7 and pH 10. The extract can be concentrated and dried, for example, in vacuo.
One method of the isolation of the compounds according to the invention is carried out by the separation principle of the different polarities in a manner known per se.
A further method of purification is chromatography on adsorption resins such as, for example, on Diaion® HP-20 (Mitsubishi Casei Corp., Tokyo), on Amberlite® XAD 7 (Rohm and Haas, USA), on Amberchrom® CG, (Toso Haas, Philadelphia, USA) or on the like. Moreover suitable are numerous reversed-phase supports, e.g. RP 8 and
RP
18 such as have become generally known, for example, in the context of highpressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
A further possibility of purification of the compounds according to the invention consists in the use of "normal-phase" chromatographic supports, such as, for example, silica gel or A1 2 0 3 or others in a manner known per se.
An alternative isolation process is the use of molecular sieves, such as, for example, Fractogel@ TSK HW-40 (Merck, Germany) and others, in a manner known per se. It is moreover possible to recover the compounds according to the invention from enriched material by crystallization. Suitable for this purpose are, for example, organic solvents and their mixtures, anhydrous or with the addition of water. An additional process for the isolation and purification of the antibiotics according to the invention consists in the use of anion exchangers, preferably in the pH range from 4 to 10. Particularly suitable for this purpose is the use of buffer solutions to which portions of organic solvents have been added.
It has surprisingly been found that the compounds of the formula according to the invention are inhibitors of JNK-3 and CK-I. Table 1 summarizes the activity data of the inventive compounds by way of example: Table 1: Activity data of the compounds of the formula (11) and (111) Receptor (11) (111) JNK-3 1.1 pM 2.8 /M hCK1E 2.9 pM not determined The present invention therefore also relates to the use of one or more of the compounds of the formula (11) or (111) according to the invention as pharmaceuticals, and to the use of one or more of the compounds of the formula (11) or (111) according to the invention for the production of pharmaceuticals, in particular for the treatment and/or for the prophylaxis of degenerative neuropathies, for example of Alzheimer's disease, or psychic disorders, for example of depression, sleep disturbances or seasonally related affective disorders.
The present invention additionally relates to a pharmaceutical containing one or more compounds according to the invention.
Said pharmaceutical containing a compound of the formula (11) and/or (111) is prepared using one or more physiologically suitable excipients and brought into a suitable administration form.
The pharmaceuticals according to the invention can be administered enterally (orally), parenterally (intramuscularly or intravenously), rectally or locally (topically).
They can be administered in the form of solutions, powders (tablets, capsules including microcapsules), ointments (creams or gel), or suppositories. Possible physiologically suitable excipients or formulations of this type are the pharmaceutically customary liquid or solid fillers and extenders, solvents, emulsifiers, lubricants, flavor corrigents, colorants and/or buffer substances. As an expedient dose, 0.1 1000, preferably 0.2 100, mg/kg of body weight are administered. They are expediently administered in dose units which contain at least the effective daily amount of the compounds according to the invention, e.g. 30 3000, preferably 50 1000, mg.
The following examples are intended to serve for the illustration of the invention in greater detail, without wishing to restrict the breadth of the invention in any manner.

C.
Example 2: Preparation of a main culture in the Erlenmeyer flask of Drechslera australiensis, ST 003360, DSM 14093.
A sterile 300 ml Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 ml of the following nutrient solution: 2.4 g/l of potato dextrose, 0.2 g/l of yeast extract, was inoculated with a culture grown in a slant tube (same nutrient solution, but with 2% agar) or with 1 ml of a glycerol culture (see example 1) and incubated at 180 rpm and 25 0 C on a shaker.
The maximum production of the drechsleranol of the formula (II) according to the invention was achieved after about 144 hours. For the inoculation of 10 I fermenters, a 48 to 96 hour-old submerse culture (inoculation amount about 10%) from the same nutrient solution sufficed.
Example 3: Preparation of the compound of the formula (II) in a 10 1 fermenter.
A 10 I fermenter was operated under the following conditions: Nutrient medium: 2.4 g/l of potato dextrose 0.2 g/l of yeast extract pH 5.1 (before sterilization) Incubation time: 115 hours Incubation temperature: 250 C Stirrer speed: 200 rpm Aeration: 15 /min It was possible to suppress foam formation by repeated addition of ethanolic polyol solution. The production maximum was achieved after about 96 to 144 hours.
Example 4: Isolation of the compound of the formula (II).
A fermentation batch from a glass fermenter having a nominal volume of 10 I was lyophilized and extracted 3x with 3 I of methanol in each case. The methanol extract was reduced to about 500 ml in vacuo and diluted with water to a methanol content of 10%. The diluted extract (5 I) was then applied to a prepared glass column (BPG 100, 4 I internal volume, Pharmacia Biotech), which was packed with about 0.5 liter of MCI-Gel® CHP-20P material (adsorber resin from Mitsubishi Chemicals, Japan).
The column was then eluted using a gradient of 100% water to 100% acetonitrile in 60 min. The column flow (50 ml min) was collected in fractions (50 ml each). All fractions were tested in the JNK-3 assay and the active fractions (fractions 26-44) were combined. Concentration in vacuo and subsequent lyophilization afforded 1.21 g of a brown powder.
This powder was applied to a LUNA® 10 p C18 column (size: 50 mm x 250 mm; Phenomenex, Germany) with a LUNA® 10 p C18 precolumn (size: 21.2 mm x mm) and chromatographed using a gradient of 0% to 50% acetonitrile in 0.1% ammonium acetate/water over the course of 50 minutes. The flow of the eluent was 125 ml/min, the fraction size 250 ml. Fraction 17 showed the greatest activity in the subsequent bioassay. It was lyophilized (220 mg) and subsequently investigated by means of mass spectrometry. It was seen that the fraction consisted of a single substance (purity Example 5: Characterization of the compound of the formula (II).
