Description

The present invention relates to cyclosporin derivatives. More particularly, the present invention relates to the compound of formula I, CH, CH, J\CHX J I CH,X CH, CH„ 3 CH, CH, 3\ / 3 CH, CH3_N -CH— C-N—CH-A ——-C —N—CH — C I L H L II I L H H 0=C _N -CH CH '3\ » CH-CHyCH L CH, N — CH3 ! CH3- n & H 0 L 1 I! L = C _CH—N __C —CH—N —C—CH— N —C —CH—N -C — CH CH [h ch3 h ch3 ?H2 C3 C»/\h3 ch3 ch3 CH, /CHx CH, - 2 4 6 8 8 4 wherein A is a group of the formula ii, — C -1, ii II 'CH' CH3 CH — II which compound is hereinafter referred to as cyclosporin D.
The present invention also provides a process for the production of cyclosporin 0 which process comprises cultivating a cyclosporin D producing strain of the species Tolypocladium inflatuni Gams in the presence of a nutrient medium and isolating cyclosporin D.
The cultivation process may be effected in conventional manner for analogous strains, e.g. as described in Example 1 hereinafter.
A preferred cylcosporin D producing strain is the freely available strain NRRL 8044 of the species Tolypocladium inflatuni Gams, a culture of which is available from United States Department of Agriculture (Northern Research and Development Division), Peoria, ILL., U.S.A. This strain was formerly described as a strain of the species Trichoderma polysporum (Link ex Pers.) and is described in the literature, e.g. in Patent Specification No. 40549.
Alternatively cyclosporin D producing strains obtained by selection or mutation of NRRL 8044, or treatment of this strain by ultraviolet light or X-rays, or treatment of this strain with laboratory chemicals, may be used.
Cyclosporin D may be isolated in conventional manner, e.g. as described in the Example, from other natural products that may be produced in greater amounts, - 3 4 6 8 8 4 e.g. the somewhat more polar cyclosporin A (also known as S 7481/F-l), the more polar cyclosporin B (also known as S 7481/F-2) and the yet more polar cyclosporin C.
Accordingly, in a further aspect the present invention also provides cyclosporin D as defined above substantially free from other, contaminating fermentation products and, especially, substantially free from cyclosporins A, B and C.
In the following example, all temperatures are in degrees Centigrade.
All ratios are by volume unless otherwise stated.
EXAMPLE Production of Cyclosporin D ' 500 litres of a nutrient solution containing per litre, 40 g of glucose, g of sodium caseinate, 2.5 g of ammonium phosphate, 5 g of MgSO^./HgO, 2 g of KHgPO^, 3 g of NaNOg, 0.5 g of KC1, 0.01 g of FeSO^ and demineralised water to 1 litre, are inoculated with 50 litres of a pre-culture of the strain NRRL 8044 and are incubated in a steel fermenter under stirring (170 rpm) and aeration (1 litre air/minute/litre nutrient solution) for 13 days at 27° (see Patent Specification No. 40549 ).
The culture liquor is stirred with the same amount of n-butyl acetate, concentration by evaporation in a vacuum after separation of the organic phase and the crude extract is de-fatted by a 3-stage partition between methanol/water (9:1) and ’ petroleum ether. The methanolic phase is separated, concentrated by evaporation in vacuum and the crude product is precipitated by the addition of water. The material obtained upon filtration is chromatographed on silica gel with n-hexane/ acetone (2:1) as eluant. The initially eluted fractions contain predominantly cyclosporin A and cyclosporin D and the later eluted fractions contain predominantly cyclosporin C. For further purification the cyclosporin A- and D-containing fractions are crystallised from a 2- to 2.5-fold amount of acetone at -15°. The crystallate is further chromatographed twice on silica gel, the fractions initially eluted with water-saturated ethyl acetate, containing cyclosporin D in greatly enriched form. These are dissolved in twice the amount of acetone and are allowed - 4 to crystallise at -15°. The resulting crude crystalline product of cyclosporin D is dissolved for further purification in a 10-fold amount of acetone, 2% by weight of active charcoal are added and heating is effected for 5 minutes to 60°. The clear and almost colourless filtrate obtained upon filtration over talc is concentrated by evaporation to a third of its volume and is allowed to cool down at room temperature, whereupon cyclosporin D crystallises spontaneously. The crystallisation is completed by allowing to stand at -17°. The crystals obtained by filtration are washed with a small amount of ice-cold acetone and are subsequently dried in a high vacuum at 80° for 2 hours.
Characterisation of Cyclosporin D: /ex 7 20 = -245° (c = 0,52 in chloroform) D 7 ~ ~ D Cyclosporin D exhibits pharmacological activity. In particular, it exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and anti-arthritic activity as indicated in standard tests with animals, for example by an inhibition of swellings in the Freunds adjuvant arthritis test in rats on p.o. administration of 3 to 100 mg/kg of the compounds.
Cyclosporin D is therefore indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of chronic inflammations e.g. arthritis and rheumatic disorders. For this use an indicated daily dose is from 50 to 900 mg, conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing from 15 to 450 mg, or in sustained release form.
The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising cyclosporin D in association with a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent.
Such compositions may be in the form of, for example, a solution or a tablet.
Cyclosporin D is also useful as an intermediate for the production of derivatives thereof, particularly the compounds known as dihydrocyclosporin D and isocyclosporin D. The said derivatives dihydrocyclosporin D and isocyclosporin D, - 5 46884 as well as their production from cyclosporin D, are the subject of our Patent Specification No. 46883.
