Description

SPECIFICATION New anthracyclines The invention relates to novel anthracycline glycoside derivatives, to their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them as well as to intermediates useful in the preparation of the glycosides.
The present invention provides anthracycline glycosides having the general formulae (I) and (ill):
wherein R, represents a hydrogen atom or hydroxyl group; and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
The invention further provides a process for the preparation of a glycoside of formula (I) wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, i.e. compound (la), which process comprises reacting 3'-epi-daunorubicin with salicylaldehyde so as to obtain the corresponding 3'-epi-N-salicylidene derivative; converting the 4'-hydroxy group of the said 3'-epi-N-salicylidene derivative into a trifluoromethanesulfonate group; and removing from the 3' epi-N-salicylidene-4'-0-trifluoromethanesulfonate thus obtained the salicylidene group by acid hydrolysis so as to cause the desired glycoside of formula (I) to be obtained via displacement of-the 4'-0-trifluoromethanesulfonate group.
The compound (la) may therefore be prepared by reaction of the 3'-amino group of 3'-epidaunorubicin (III) [F. Arcamone, A. Bargiotti, G. Cassinellic: Ger.Patent 2752115 (June 1, 1978] with salicylaldehyde, in a mixture of water and acetone at room temperature, to obtain the corresponding 3'-epi-N-salicylidene derivative (IVc) which by treatment with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in anhydrous methylene dichloride and in the presence of pyridine gives the corresponding 3'-epi-N-salicylidene-4'-0-trifluoromethansulfonate (IVd). This compoud, dissolved in methanol, can then be subjected to acidic hydrolysis of the salicylidene protecting group by means of p-toluensulfonic acid at room temperature to give, via the displacement of trifluoromethanesulfonate leaving group, the desired compound of formula (lea).
The invention also provides a process for the preparation of a glycoside compound of formula (I) wherein R, represents a hydroxyl group, i.e. compound (Ib), which process comprises reacting 3'-epi-doxorubicin with salicylaldehyde so as to obtain the corresponding 3'-epi-N-salicylidene derivative; protecting the 14-hyroxy group of the said 3'-epi-N-salicylidene derivative with a tert.butyl-diphenyl-silyl group, converting the 4'-hydroxy group of the 3'-epi-N-salicylidene- 14-0- [tert.butyl-dephenyl-silyl]-doxorubicin thus obtained into a trifluoromethanesulfonate group; and removing from the 1 4-O-[tert. butyl-diphenyl-silyl-3'-epi-N-salicylidene-4'-0-trifluoromethanesulfon- ate thus obtained the salicylidene group by acid hydrolysis and the 14-O-[tert.butyl-diphenyl-silyl] group so as to cause the desired glycoside of formula (I) to be obtained via displacement of the 4'-0-trifluoromethanesulfonate group.
The compound (Ib) may therefore be prepared by the conversion of the 3'-amino group of 3'epi-doxorubicin (V) [see F. Arcamone et al. Ger.Patent 2752155] into 3'-epi-N-salicylidene-doxorubicin (Vle) by reaction with salicylaldehyde, protection of the 14-hydroxy group with a tertbutyl-diphenyl-silyl group, obtaining 3'-epi-N-salicylidene- 1 4-O-[tert-butyl-diphenyl-silyl]-doxorubicin (Vlf); conversion of the 4'-hydroxy group into a trifluoromethanesulfonate (Vlg), hydrolysis by means of p-toluensulfonic acid with formation of compound (Ih), and reaction with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride to remove the 14-0-[tert-butyl-diphenyl-silyl]-protecting group and obtain compound of formula (lb).
Typically 3'-epi-doxorubicin, dissolved in a mixture of water and acetone, is reacted at room temperature with salicyaldehyde to obtain the corresponding 3'-epi-N-salicylidene derivative which is subsequently treated, in anhydrous dimethylformamide, at room temperature, with t-butyldiphenylchlorosilane in the presence of imidazole to give its 3'-epi-N-salicylidene- 1 4-O-[t-butyl- diphenyl-silyl]ether, which dissolved in anhydrous methylene chloride is converted, by treatment with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, in the presence of dry pyridine, into its 3'-epi-N-salicyli dene-4'-0-trifluornmethanesulfonate- I 4-O-[t-butyl-diphenyl-silyl] ether of which the salicylidene protecting group is subjected to acid hyrolysis at room temperature and in a methanolic solution by means of a catalytic amount of p-toluensulfonic acid and from which subsequently the 14-0 [t-butyl-diphenyl-silyl] protecting group is removed by treatment with tetra-n-butyl ammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran, at room temperature, to obtain the desired glycoside of formula (I).
The invention also provides a process for the preparation of a glycoside formula (ill) wherein R, represents a hydrogen atom, i.e. compound (Ila), or a hydroxy group, i.e. compound (llb), or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, which process comprises converting 3'-deamino-4'-deoxy-3'-epi-4'-epi-3',4'-epimino-daunorubicin into the corresponding N-trifluoroacetyl derivative; converting the said N-trifluoroacetyl derivative into 4'-deoxy-4'-epi-N-trifluoroacetyl3'-deamino-3'-hydroxy daunorubicin; removing the N-trifluoroacetyl group from the 4'-deoxy-4' epi-N-trifluoroacetyl-3'-deamino-3'-hydroxy daunorubicin so as to obtain the glycoside of formula (Il) wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom; if desired, converting the said glycoside of formula (Il) into a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof; if desired, brominating the said glycoside of formula (11) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and hydrolysing the 14-bromo derivative thus obtained so as to form the glycoside of formula (II) wherein R, is a hydroxy group; and, if desired, converting the said glycoside of formula (II) wherein R, is a hydroxy group into a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
Treatment of the 3',4'-epimino daunorubicin derivative (la) with trifluoroacetic anhydride gives the corresponding N-trifluoroacetyl derivative (Vlli). Reaction of this compound with a catalytic amount of sulfuric acid in acetone gives 4'-deoxy-4epi-N-trifluoroa cetyl3'-dea m ino-a'-hyd roxy- daunorubicin (VIII) which, by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide, gives the compound (Ila).
Typically, the N-trifluoroacetyl group may be removed by mild alkaline hydrolysis, at a temperature of 0 C by means of 0.1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide. Glycoside (Ila) can be isolated as its hydrochloride by treatment with hydrogen chloride in methanol.
The compound (alb) can be prepared by bromination of (ill) followed by treatment of the resultant 14-bromo derivative with aqueous sodium formate at room temperature, according to the procedure described in United Patent Specification No. 3803124. It may be isolated as its hydrochloride in the same manner as glycoside (Ila).
The processes of the invention are summarized in the reaction scheme below.
The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising as active ingredient an anthracycline glycoside of the invention or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) is combined with an inert carrier. Conventional carriers may be used and the composition may be formulated in conventional manner.
The compounds of the invention are useful in methods of treatment of the human or animal body by therapy. In particular, the compounds of the invention are useful as antitumor agents.
