Description

Synthesis of 3-(aminomethyl)-4-chloro-7-(2-hvdroxyethoxy)benzo[c1[1 ,21oxaborol-1(3/-/)-ol
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to improved synthetic methods for 3-(aminomethyl)-4-chloro-7-(2- hydroxyethoxy)benzo[c][1 ,2]oxaborol-1(3/-/)-ol, which is a compound that is useful as an anti- mycobaterial, for example in the treatment of tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Mycobacterium is a genus in the class of bacteria called Actinobacteria with its own distinct family known as Mycobacteriacae. Mycobacterium contains various obligate and opportunistic pathogens of animals, which may also be transmitted to humans and cause disease in humans, thus exhibiting a considerable zoonotic potential. During the past few decades, members of the Mycobacterium avium- intracellulare complex (MAIO) emerged as pathogens of human diseases, including lymphadenitis in children, pulmonary tuberculosis-like disease, and disseminated infections (occurring predominantly in immunocompromised persons, particularly AIDS patients). Similarly, important animal diseases result from infections in an animal by members of this group, e.g., avian tuberculosis and paratuberculosis in ruminants. MAIC includes M. intracellulars and 4 subspecies of M. avium, namely, M. avium subsp. avium, M. avium subsp. hominissuis, M. avium subsp. silvaticum, and M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Whereas members of the M. tuberculosis complex are transmitted by direct host contact, MAIC species are acquired predominantly from environmental sources, including soil, water, dust, and feed.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a small aerobic non-motile high-GC bacillus with an "outermembrane" that is unusually thick, "waxy," hydrophobic, rich in mycolic acids, and extremely impermeable, making mycobacterium infections difficult to treat. One third of the world's population is thought to be infected (including latent MTB), but this number increases to upwards of 80% of the population in many Asian and African countries. If untreated, the death rate from active MTB infections is more than 50%. In addition, the combination of HIV and MTB is deadly and increasing numbers of MTB strains are becoming resistant to standard of care drugs; approximately 300,000 new cases of multidrug resistant (MDR) M. tuberculosis are reported each year. Multidrug resistant (MDR) M. tuberculosis are resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin, and extensive drug resistant (XDR) M. tuberculosis are also resistant to at least one quinolone and one aminoglycoside.
Synthetic drugs for treating tuberculosis (TB) have been available for over half a century, but incidences of the disease continue to rise world-wide. More than 2 billion people are currently infected with M. tuberculosis, most being latent cases, and it is estimated that over 9 million new cases occur each year, worldwide, resulting in from 1 .7 to nearly 2 million deaths per year. In 2004 alone approximately 24,500 new infections and close to 5,500 deaths were recorded, each day. See Zignol, Met al., M. Surveillance of anti- tuberculosis drug resistance in the world: an updated analysis, 2007-2010. Bull. World Health Organ 2012, 90 (2), 1 1 1 -1 19D) Co-infection with HIV is driving the increase in incidence (Williams, B. G.; Dye, C. Science, 2003, 301 , 1535) and the cause of death in 31 % of AIDS patients in Africa can be attributed to TB. See Corbett, E. Let al.,. Arch. Inti. Med., 2003, 163, 1009, Septkowitz, Aet al., Clin. Microbiol. Rev. 1995, 8, 180).
The limitations of tuberculosis therapy and prevention are well known. The current available vaccine, BCG was introduced in 1921 and fails to protect most people past childhood. According to a 2006 report - "International Standards for T uberculosis Care", a document developed by the T uberculosis Coalition for Technical Assistance (TBCTA) which partners include Centers for Disease Control, American Thoracic Society, Tuberculosis Foundation, KNCV, the World Health Organization and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease - patients who do become infected with active disease currently endure two months of combination therapy with medicines introduced between 50 and 60 years ago - isoniazid (1952), rifampin (1963), pyrazinamide (1954) and ethambutol (1961 ) - followed by another 4 months of isoniazid and rifampin (also known as rifampicin). Alternatively the continuation phase could include Isoniazid and ethambutol for six months when adherence cannot be assessed, but according to this report, a longer continuation phase is associated with a higher rate of failure and relapse, especially in patients with HIV infection. Moreover, as detailed in this report, the doses of antituberculosis drugs used should conform to international recommendation and fixed-dose combinations of two (isoniazid and rifampicin), three (isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide), and four (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol) drugs are highly recommended, especially when it is not possible to monitor the patient to ensure the treatment is ingested.
Daily dosing is required in these treatment phases and poor compliance drives the emergence and spread of multi-drug-resistant strains, which are challenging to treat. Shorter courses of more active agents which can be taken less frequently and which present a high barrier to the emergence of resistance, i.e. agents which are effective against multi-drug resistant strains of TB (MDR-TB), are urgently required. A March 2013 report (http://www.aidsmap.com/Once-weekly-continuation-phase-TB- treatment-equals-standard- of-care/page/2589498/) suggests that a two-drug combination of rifapentine (a long-acting derivative of rifampicin) with moxifloxacin (a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that has not been used previously in TB treatment) can allow tuberculosis (TB) treatment to be taken once- weekly during the four-month continuation phase and achieves the same standard of care as the traditional continuation treatment of daily treatment with isoniazid and rifampin. Such a treatment phase would allow treatment supervision to extend throughout the continuation phase, increasing adherence. However, moxifloxacin is not yet approved for treatment of TB, and the once-weekly treatment protocol is not yet endorsed or approved as an alternative standard of care treatment - guideline panels at international and national levels will need to review the published evidence to determine if this alternative continuation treatment protocol should be recommended and adopted. In addition, rifapentine is expensive, and interactions between rifapentine and antiretroviral drugs in the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and protease inhibitor classes may prevent its use in TB patients who are also HIV positive and taking antiretroviral medicines. Thus, at present, the costs/benefits analysis of a continuation treatment with weekly rifapentine versus daily rifampicin is yet to be fully assessed.
WO2015021396A2 discloses benzoxaborole compounds that show unexpected selectivity for inhibiting replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) versus inhibition (toxicity) of human cells compared to other benzoxaborole compounds, and exhibit sub-micromolar MIC values against mycobacterium species, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC), Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex (MAIC).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The synthetic route described herein may offer any of the following advantages over that disclosed in WO’396:
• Improvement in overall yield. • Reduction in cost; cheaper reagents can be used.
• Improved reliability - does not use cryogenic lithiation chemistry (in contrast to WO’396 route);
• Present route has a greater number of isolatable intermediates (for control of purity) - WO’396 route has several oils which needed to be telescoped through the synthesis.
