Abstract

Anthracycline-anionic polymer conjugates comprising a 1:2 regularly alternating cyclopolymer of divinyl ether and maleic anhydride in polycarboxylate form bonded to doxorubicin or an analogue thereof (particularly 4-demethoxydoxorubicin or 4'deoxydoxorubicin) by an ester linkage to the 14-C atom of the anthracycline slowly release in vivo the free form of the anthracycline drug by hydrolysis of the ester bond. The pharmacokinetic behaviour of the drug and its therapeutic efficacy are thus improved. The conjugates are prepared by reacting the polycarboxylate form of the copolymer with 14-bromodoxorubicin or a 14-bromo derivative of a doxorubicin analogue.

Description

SPECIFICATION Anthracycline-anionic polymer conjugates The invention relates to conjugates of doxorubicin and its analogues with anionic polymers and to a process for their preparation.
The linkage of antitumour agents to suitable water- soluble macromolecular carrier systems has been proposed as a novel approach in cancer chemotherapy in order to improve the therapeutic efficacy of the drug. Indeed, the therapeutic index of most antitumour agents (including anthracycline antibiotics) is small and host toxicity remains the main limitation in the use of available drugs.
The invention provides an anthracycline-anionic polymer conjugate comprising a 1:2 regularly alternating cyclo- polymer of divinyl ether and maleic an hydroxide in poly- carboxylate form bonded to doxorubicin or an analogue thereof by an ester linkage to the 14-C atom of the anthracycline.
The 1:2 regularly alternating cyclopolymer of divinyl ether and maleic anhydride, also known as DVE MA or as pyran copolymer, has the formula
Divinyl Ethec-Maleic Anhydride Copolymer (DVE-MA) It may be converted to polycarboxylate form by hydrolysis with a strong base, preferably at a pH in excess of 12, for example with 0.2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The sodium salt of the polycarboxylate form has the formula
Polywarboxylate form The anthracycline-anionic polymer conjugate of the invention can slowly release the free form of the drug in vivo by hydrolysis of the ester bond, thus altering the pharmacokinetic behaviour of the drug.
The conjugation via the side chain (C-13,C-14) avoids modification of the drug amino sugar believed essential for optimal drug activity.
The antitumour effects in experimental tumour models in vivo indicate clear therapeutic advantages in using anthracyclines linked to the polyanionic polymer, as reflected by reduction of drug toxicity and by enhancement of effectiveness in all animal tumours used. The improvement of the therapeutic index of the polymer-bound drug may be the result of the expected alteration of the pharmacological distribution and of preferential delivery of the drug to tumour cells, which have a high endocytotic capacity.
The invention further provides a process for the preparation of an anthracycline-anionic polymer conjugate according to the invention, the process comprising hydrolysing a 1:2 regularly alternating cyclopolymer of divinyl ether and maleic anhydride with a strong base and reacting the resultant polycarboxylate form of the polymer with 14-bromodoxorubicin or a 14-bromo derivative of a doxorubicin analogue. The process is illustrated, for doxorubicin, 4-demethoxy-doxorubicin and 4'-deoxy- doxorubicin only, by the following reaction scheme.
Divinyl Etner-Mabic Anhydride Polycarboxylate torm Copolymer (DVE-MA)
The following Examples illustrate the invention.
EXAMPLE 7 Doxorubicin-pyran copolymer conjugate U) Pyran copolymer, average Mol. wt. 32000 (100 mg dissolved in 5 ml distilled water) was converted to the poly- carboxylate form by hydrolysis with 0.2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (pH > 12) for at least 15 minutes. Complete hydrolysis of the maleic anhydride was confirmed by titration curve. After hydrolysis, the pH of the solution was adjusted to 8.5. 14-Bromo-daunorubicin (20-50 mg freshly dissolved in a small volume of methanol) was added to the polymer solution, under stirring. Reaction was carried out at room temperature. The acid produced during the nucleophilic substitution reaction was neutralized by addition of a dilute aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours and then adjusted to pH 7.0.Any free antibiotic was removed by ion-exchange chromatography on Dowex 50W-X2. Usually, the daunorubicin-polymer conjugate was diluted with water or aqueous solvent to reduce the polymer concentration. Thin layer chromatography (using chloroform:methanol:acetic acid 80:20:4 by volume for elution) and high pressure liquid chromatography on a C-18 reverse phase column (using water:acetonitrile 66:34 by volume, adjusted to pH 3.8 with phosphoric acid, as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.5ml/minute; fluorimetric detection, excitation, 500 nm; emission: 590 nm) were used to detect free anthracycline derivatives in the samples of the polymeric derivatives.
Samples showing residual free drug were further rechromatographed on Dowex 50W-X2. The concentration of bound drug in the polymeric derivative was estimated by absorbance at 480 nm. The polymer content in the conjugates was determined by dry weight after exhaustive dialysis of the conjugate against distilled water to remove any salt. The titration data were also used to calculate the available carboxyl groups and therefore the extent of drug substitution.This method gave identical results. Since the anhydride function could also react with the drug amino group to produce an amide linkage, this type of reaction has been excluded on the following observations: a) titration curves indicated complete hydrolysis of the anhydride under the coupling reaction conditions.
b) the presence of residual an hydroxide was also excluded by no formation of N-acyl derivatives when free aminoglycosides were mixed and incubated with alkali- huydrolyzed polymer under standard reaction conditions.
EXAMPLE 2 4-demethyoxy-doxorubicin-pyran copolymer conjugate (II). 14-Bromo-4'-deoxydoxorubicin was used in place of 14-bromo-doxorubicin in the method of Example 1 to give the title compound.
EXAMPLE 3 4'-deoxydoxorubicin-pyran copolymer conjugate (III). 14-Bromo-4'-deoxy-daunorubicin was used in place of 14-bromodoxorubicin in the method of Example 1 to give the title compound.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY Doxorubicin-pyran copolymer conjugate (I), hereinafter P-D X, was tested for cytotoxic activity and for anti- tumour activity against experimental tumours in mice and the results were compared with those of free daunorubicin (DR) and doxorubicin (DX) as reference drugs of this class of antitumour agents. The inhibition of the colony forming ability of HeLa cells was used to quantify the cytotoxic activity of the drug linked to polymers. Although an appreciable reduction of cytotoxic effect of bound drug as compared to free drug was consistently observed (Table 1), the concentration of bound drug required for 50% inhibition of colony-forming ability of HeLa cells (15 ng/ml) was only slightly higher than that required by free drug (10 ng/ml).
Comparative testing of anthracyclines was performed in both i.p. (P388 leukemia, J-744 lymphoma) and i.v. (gross leukemia) transplanted tumour systems. In these studies the route of drug administration was similar to that of tumour cell inoculation. The results of a number of experiments against P388 leukemia are summarized in Table 2. Free daunorubicin, at its optimal dose of 4 mg/kg, produced a T/C of 209%. Doxorubicin, tested at its optimal dose of 10 mg/kg, was more active (TIC = 274%) than daunorubicin. P-DX tested at various doses (expressed as doxorubicin content in the conjugate), showed a dosedependent antitumour activity. Lower doses produced antitumour effects similar to those of the free drug. However, the low toxicity of the doxorubicin-polymer conjugate allowed an increase of dose, thus improving the therapeutic effectiveness of the antitumour agents.Indeed high doses ( > 40 mgikg) were well tolerated, thus indicated marked reduction of drug toxicity in P-DX. Using the same treatment schedule, simultaneous administration of mixtures of the free drug and the polymer produced antitumour effects only slightly superior to those of the free drug alone in the range of optimal (i.e. maximally tolerated) doses. However the pyran copolymer failed to influence drug toxicity appreciably. The high activity of the macromolecular derivative of doxorubicin is also reflected in the relevant proportion of long-term (tumour- free) survivors produced by optimal doses. This curative effect was not observed with daunorubicin and only marginally observed with doxorubicin. The polymer itself had only marginal activity in this tumour system (maximum T/C = 165%).
To characterize better the differences between free anthracyclines and the macromolecular derivative, further studies were carried out in the J-744 lymphoma and Gross leukemia (Table 3). The results of comparative experiments with mice bearing J-744 lymphoma were quite similar to the results with mice bearing P388 leukemia (Table 2). The P-DX increased life span to a greater extent than either free daunorubicin or free doxorubicin. Only the P-DX produced long-term survivors.
These drugs were evaluated against Gross leukemia model using a multiple injection treatment (Table 4). Although the binding of doxorubicin to the polymer reduced drug potency, P-DX at its optimal dose was markedly more active than either daunorubicin or doxorubicin, producing a large increase in life span and a relevant number of long-term survivors.
4-Demethoxydoxorubicin-pyran copolymer conjugate (P-DmDX), when tested against Gross leukemia using a multiple treatment schedule (q 3 d x 3, i.v.) produced antitumour effects superior to those of 4demethoxydaunorubicin (DmDR) and only slightly superior to those of 4-demethoxy- doxorubicin (DmDX) (Table 5).However, as found for P-DX, only the conjugate produced an appreciable number of long-time survivors. The reduction of systemic toxicity allowed the administration of higher dose of the drug in the conjugate. The ratio between equitoxic doses of the free drug (LD 10 = 0.6 mglkg) and the polymer bound drug (LD 10 - 1.7 mg/kg) was around 3.
