i) reacting a compound of formula B 0 R R 2 4 R 5 OH i 1 Ii j - R U R - 1 3 0 0 R- N - 1 11 R -' 9 X 'RjO wherein R,, R_,, R,, R4, Rj, R7r R,, R,, R,, and X are as defined above with a peroxide compound.
Anthracyclines N-hydroxide of formula A (R.=OH) may be prepared by (ii) reacting the resultant N-oxide derivative of formula A with an organic or inorganic acid.
For example, a preferred process for the preparation of anthracycline Noxides of formula A comprises treating a compound of formula B as previously defined, in the form of a free base, in organic apolar solvent such as acetone, with a peroxide compound such as dinethyldioxirane at temperature from -400C to -100C, preferably at -300C, for from 5 to 30 minutes, then removing the solvent under reduced pressure and purifing the resultant N-oxide derivative, for example by flash chromatography on silica gel.
A preferred process for the preparation of anthracycline N-hydroxide of formula A comprises treating the anthracycline N-oxide, dissolved in an organic solvent such as methylene chloride, with an anhydrous acid, preferably anhydrous hydrogen chloride, at a temperature of from -100C to OOC, preferably -SOC.
Dimethyldioxirane may be prepared as described in J.Org.Chem., 1987, vol 52, 2800-2803. It should be noted that the use of dimethyldioxirane allows the formation of anthracycline N-oxide without formation of by- products. In addition, this reagent is easily removed from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure.
The starting anthracyclines, namely morpholino or morpholino ring substituted or piperidine derivatives, of formula B are well known from the literature, see Bioactive Molecules Vol.6, edited by J.W.Lown (Elsevier 1988). Preferred starting compounds are: (B1) 3'-deamino3'[2(S)-methoxy-4-morpholinyl)-doxorubicin [Rj=0CH3, R,=Rj=0H, R.;=H, R,5=COCH20H, R,=H, R1,=(S)0CH3. X=0.
R7=0H, Rs=H), (B2) 3'-deamino-3'[2(R)-methoxy-4-morpholinyl]-doxorubicin [Rj=0CHI, R,=R3=0H, R.1=H, R.s=COCH20H, R,=H, R1,=(R)0CH.3, X=O, R7=0H, R,=H] (B3) 4-demethoxy3'-deamino-3'[2(S)-methoxy-4-morpholinyl] daunorubicin 6 Rg=H, R,(,= (S) OCH3, X=O, R7=0H, [R,=H, R2=R3=0H, R4=H, R5=COCH30 R8=H] (B4) 4-demethoxy-3'-deamino3'[2(R)-methoxy-4-morpholinyl1 daunorubicin [RI=H, R2=R3=0H, R4=H, R5=COCH3i Rg=H, R10=(R)OCH3f X=O, R7=0H, R8=H] (B5) 3'-deamino-3'[4-morpholinyl]-doxorubicin [Rj=0CHI, R,=R3=0H, R.1=H, R5=COCHOH, 1?,,=Rl,=H, X=O, R7=0H, Rs=H] (B6) 13-dihydro-3'deamino-3'[2methoxy-4-morpholinylldoxorubicin (B7) 3'-deamino-3'[piperidine]-do>:orubicin [R,=OCH,, R,=R,=OH, R,=H, R=CCCHOH, R,=Rj,H, X=CH,, R7OH, R8=H] The new anthracycline derivatives of the present invention are water soluble, also in the form of an N- oxide. Surprisingly, while the N-oxide derivatives of formula A (R,=O) show cytotoxic activity on tumor cells similar to those of the starting anthracyclines of formula B, the corresponding N-hydroxide derivatives A (R,=OH) are from 10 to 100 fold more potent than the corresponding Noxide.
administratior The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier and, as an active principle, as anthracycline analogue of formula A or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Suitable routes of administration include parenteral.
For parenteral administration a liquid formulation nay be prepared using the active compound and a sterile diluent or carrier which nay either dissolve the active compound or provide a suspension for it. The parenteral. formulation may be prepared in the form of a sterile solid for reconstitution prior to administration with a suitable vehicle such as physiological saline, sterile water or other sterile vehicle.
The compounds of the invention are useful in methods of treatment of the humam and animal body by therapy. They are useful as anti-tumor agents in particular in the treatment of 7 leukaemia or colon adenocarcinoma. A therapeutically effective amount is administered to a patient having a tumor to ameliorate or improve the condition of the patient. An amount sufficient to inhibit the growth of the tumor may be administered. The dosage to be given can be ascertained using known dosage ranges for doxorubicin and daunorubicin modified by reference to the activity shown by the present compounds in in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor tests. Suitable dosages are generally in the range of 1 to 200 Mg/M2 body surface, preferably from 1 to 100 Ing/M2, depending on the nature and severity of the disease being treated and on the general condition of the patient.
