Abstract

Novel potentiating steroid carbamates having the general formula (I) ST-OCONR1R2 (I) wherein ST is a steroid or steroid derivative, of the structure (II)

Description

NOVEL STEROID CARBAMATES AS POTENTIATINO AGENTS
The present invention relates to novel steroid derivatives which potentiate the activity of various cytotoxic drugs and of radiation therapy.

Background Chemotherapy failure remains a significant problem in the treatment of neoplastic disease. Despite initial sensitivity to chemotherapy most tumors become unresponsive during prolonged treatment. This is thought to be due to the outgrowth of drug resistant mutant tumor cells, and is referred to as acquired resistance. Conversely, some tumors appear to be insensitive to therapy from the onset and these are intrinsically resistant.

Both acquired or intrinsic resistance are characterised by the development of resistance to different groups of drugs with no apparent structural or functional similarities, such as vinca alkaloids and anthracyclines.
Although the cellular mechanism of drug resistance is multi-factorial, the ability of resistant cells to lower the intracellular concentration of drug appears to be the most common mechanism.

Several agents of diverse chemical structures are known to potentiate the uptake and the cellular toxicity of cytotoxic drugs such as vinca alkaloids and anthracyclines.
This is of great clinical importance in the treatment of cancer, particularly as tumors which have developed resistance to chemotherapy may again become sensitive when treated with a cytotoxic drug in combination with a potentiating agent.

Prior ar~t Verapamil was one of the first compounds for which the potentiating properties were observed (A.M. Rogan et al., Science 224, p. 994-996, 1984). The structure and synthesis of verapamil are disclosed in US 3,261,859 (DENGEL FERDINAND).
The potentiating effect which was quite marked in experimental systems could however not be reproduced in the clinic, primarily due to dose-limiting side effects occurring at the high doses of verapamil that are required for potentiation.

CHgO N OCHg CH3O verapamil OCH3 For several other registered drugs where potentiating properties have been observed, the side effects have also been dose-limiting and have prevented their clinical use as potentiating agents.

RO 11-2933 is a tiapamil analog which has shown in vivo activity when tested in combination with doxorubicin (J.
A. Plumb et al., Biochemical Pharmacology, 2, p. 257-266, 1994). The structure and synthesis of RO 11-2933 are disclosed in GB 1489088(HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE AG).
s s \ RO Estramustine, widely used in the treatment of prostate cancer, and which is a cytotoxic steroid derivative where estradiol is coupled to nor-nitrogen mustard via a carbamate bridge, was recently shown to possess weak potentiating activity (S. C. Batra et al, Urological Research 23, p. 286, 1995). The structure and synthesis of estramustine are disclosed in US 3,299,104 (FEX ET AL).

WO 95/08559 (PROCTOR & GAMBLE) describes urethane containing aminosteroid compounds for the treatment. of congestive heart failure. The carbamate residue is located in the 3-position. None of the compounds described is noted for potentiating activity.

L.E. Overman et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1987) 100 (15), 4822-34, describe a N,N-dimethyl carbamate steroid derivative used in a chemical study of a cyclization induced [3,3] sigmaotropic rearrangement of allylic carbamates.

U.S. patent 4,772,594 (FUJISAWA) describes prodrugs wherein a biologically active substance (e.g. antitumor compound) is coupled to a steroid via a carbamate linker. The steroid is utilized only as a carrier.

Patent application WO 92/18089 (ABRAHAM ET AL) describes steroidal amines which have the ability to sensitize multidrug resistant cancer cells. However no steroid carbamates are included.

There is obviously a great need for new nontoxic compounds having strong potentiating properties.

Summary of the invention We have found steroid carbamates having superior potentiating properties without being cytotoxic.

Accordingly, the present invention provides new potentiating compounds having the general formula (I).

The invention also provides compounds of general formula (I) wherein the steroid moiety itself possesses none or little adverse biologic activity.

Example 3 This example demonstrates the potentiating effect of compounds of formula (I) in accordance with data in the below Table 1.

Human colon tumor cells (HCT-15) or rat prostatic tumor cells (AT-1) were cultured in RPMI medium containing v/v FCS (10%) penicillin/streptomycin (1.1%), L-glutamine (0.90), and in the case of AT-1 cells, dexamethasone (250 nM). Both cell lines have an intrinsic resistance to cytotoxic drugs including daunorubicin. Approximately 1 x 104 cells in log phase were seeded in 12 well plates for 24 hrs in the above medium. The medium was then replaced by a medium containing fixed concentrations of daunorubicin (50 nM and 30 nM for HCT-15 and AT-i cells respectively) and different concentrations (0.0125 - 4 microM) of the compounds to be tested and the cells were incubated for 24 hrs. The medium was thereafter changed to a drug free medium and incubated for another 96 hrs. The cells were loosened with 0.25% trypsin, suspended in 1 ml of medium and counted in a Coulter counter. IC50 values (concentration required to reduce cell survival by 500) were calculated.

Table 1 Compound IC50, HCT-15(M) IC50, AT-1(M) 1:1 0.51 0.76 1:4 0.15 0.19 1:13 0.28 0.21 1:35 0.11 0.15 verapamil 0.5 0.74 estramustine > 2.5 Example 4 This example demonstrates the potentiating effect of compound 1:1 in vivo as shown by the data in Figure 1.

Seven- to eight-week-old Severe Combined Immunodeficient (SCID) mice were inoculated s.c with 3 x 106 HCT-15 cells into the left flank. Nine days after tumor cell inoculation animals with palpable tumors were randomized into groups of 10 mice/group. On days 9, 13 and 17 groups of mice were treated with doxorubicin (2 g/kg;i.v.) alone or in combination with compound 1:1 (400 mg/kg; p.o). Compound 1:1 was given 2 hours before doxorubicin. One group received only vehicle and served as control.

Tumor growth was monitored by measuring tumor size with a calibrated microcapillar twice a week. Tumor volume (V) was calculated by using the formula V = (L x W2/2) where L
and W are the long and short diameters (mm) respectively. At day 26 the animals were sacrificed and the tumor weight measured.

Figure legend Figure 1 relates to Example 4 and shows growth of human colon cell line HCT-15 on a subcutaneous xenograft in SCID mice. Mice were treated with vehicle (1) or doxorubicin (2) or doxorubicin plus compound 1:1 (3) at day 9, 13 and 17 following inoculation of HCT-15 cells (arrows). Significance of difference between (1) and (2) is indicated by * being p <
0.05 and *** being p < 0.005.

The compounds of formula (I) potentiate the activity of cytotoxic drugs both in vitro and in vivo and can with advantage be used in combination with these for cancer treatment.

Potentiating agents may be used as reversing agents in multidrug resistant tumors and may also be used to prevent or delay the development of resistance.

These agents may also potentiate the effect of radiation therapy.

Potentiating agents are effective in increasing the intracellular concentrations of several types of drugs and could therefore be of interest in many therapeutic areas-Effective quantities of compounds of formula (I) are preferably administered to a patient in need of such treatment according to usual routes of administration and formulated in usual pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of the active ingredient and a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Such compositions may take a variety of forms, e.g. solutions, emulsions, tablets, capsules and powders prepared for oral administration, and sterile solutions for parenteral administration.

A suitable dose may vary between 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg body weight, in particular from about 1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg once or twice daily depending upon the specific condition to be treated, the age and the weight of the specific patient, and the specific patients response to the medication. The exact individual dosage, as well as the daily dosage, will be determined under the direction of an experienced physician.

Various additives to enhance stability or ease of administration of the drug are contemplated. The pharmaceutical composition may also contain additional therapeutically useful substances other than a compound of formula ( I ) .
