Description

Crystalline Oxathiolane Derivatives Description The present invention relates to nucleoside analogues and their use in medicine. More specifically the invention is concerned with 1,3-oxathiolane nucleoside analogues, particular physical form thereof, pharmaceutical formulations thereof and the use thereof in the treatment of viral infections.
The compound of formula (I) also known as BCH—189 or NGPB—21 has been described as having antiviral activity in particular against the human immunodeficiency viruses (HlV‘s), the causative agents of AIDS (5th Anti—Aids Conference, Montreal, Canada 5th-9th June 1989: Abstracts T.C.O.1 and M.C.P. 63; European Patent Application Publication No. 0382562). The compound of formula (I) is a racemic mixture of the two enantiomers of formulae (l—1) and (I-2):- l )\ 0- o ry (I-1) o HOCH2 O 2 ( : E s S and was described and tested in the form of its racemate. The only compound currently approved for the treatment of conditions caused by HIV is 3'—azido-3'- deoxythymidine (AZT, zidovudine, BW 509U). However, this compound has a significant side—effect liability and thus either cannot be employed or, once employed, may have to be withdrawn in a significant number of patients.There is in consequence a continuing need to provide compounds which are effective against HIV but with a concomitant significantly better therapeutic index.
Although the enantiomers of the compound of formula (I) are equipotent against HIV the(—)-enantiomer has considerably lower cytotoxicity than the other enantiomer and is thus the preferred compound as an antiviral agent.
The (+enantiomer has the chemical name (-)gi_s4—Amino-1—(2— hydroxymethyl-1 ,3-oxathiolan-5—yl)—( 1 H)- pyrimidin-2—one. It has the absolute stereochemistry of the compound of formula (l—1) which has the name (2R,cis)) amino(2-hydroxymethyl-1,3—oxathiolanyl)-(1H)—pyrimidinone. The compound is now known as 3TC.
Preferably 3TC will be substantially free of the corresponding (+)—enantiomer, that is to say no more than about 5% w/w of the (+)- enantiomer, preferably no more than about 2%, in particular less than about 1% w/w is present. international application PCT/GB91/00706, publication no W091/17159 describes the preparation of 3TC, its antiviral activity and its use in medicine. 3TC is described and prepared in WO91/17159 as a freeze dried powder.
We have now found that 3TC can be obtained in crystalline form and exhibits polymorphism.
When crystallised from aqueous solution 3TC is obtained in the form of needle—shaped crystals (hereinafter Form I). In this form the crystals are not favoured for pharmaceutical formulation into solid dosage forms because of their physical properties, for example poor flow characteristics. We have further found that under certain conditions 3TC may be obtained in the form of substantially bipyramidyl crystals (hereinafter Form ii). The crystal habit of Form H has improved flow characteristics and is thus preferred in the manufacture of solid dosage forms.
In addition Form l crystals are a less stable polymorphic forms and certain pharmaceutical unit operations such as milling may cause conversion of Form l to Form ii, an undesirable characteristic for manufacture of solid dosage forms.
TC in the form of bipyramidyl crystals has a melting point of greater than about 170°C, in particular 177-178°C when pure. 3TC in the form of needle-like crystals has a melting point of less than about 130°C in particular about 124—127°C in pure form. ' 3TC in Form ll exhibits characteristic absorption bands in its infra red (i.r.) spectrum which are absent from the i.r. spectrum of Form l. In particular Form ll exhibits strong absorption bands at ~92O and ~85O wavenumbers. Further, a characteristic band of Form l at 1110 wavenumbers is absent from the spectrum of Form ll.
Form ll of 3TC further shows a characteristic endotherm with an onset temperature at 177-178°C in its differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) profile. By contrast Form I shows a characteristic endotherm in its DSC profile with an onset temperature at 124-127°C. in a first aspect of the invention there is provided 3TC in the form of bipyramidal crystals.
In a yet further aspect of the invention there is provided 3TC in bipyramidal crystalline form and having a melting point of greater than 170°C, in particular 177- 178°C. In an alternative aspect there is provided 3TC in bipyramidal crystalline form and having in its DSC profile an endotherm with an onset temperature of 177—178°C.
In a yet further alternative there is provided 3TC in bipyramidal crystalline form and having absorption bands at about 920 and about 850 wavenumbers in its infra red spectrum. in particular there is provided 3TC in which in addition to absorption bands at these wavenumbers a band at 1110 wavenumbers is substantially absent.
TC may be obtained from its racemate by resolution by any method known in the art for the separation of racemates into their constituent enantiomers. in particular 3TC may be obtained from the known racemate by chiral H PLC, by enzyme mediated enantioselective catabolism with a suitable enzyme such as cytidine deaminase or by selective enzymatic degradation of a suitable derivative using a 5'-nucleotide. Suitable methods for preparing 3TC are described in W091/17159.
TC in the form of needle shaped crystals may be obtained by crystallisation of the compound from aqueous solution or by azeotropic distillation with propanol.
TC in the form of the preferred bipyramidyl shaped crystals may be obtained by recrystallisation from non—aqueous media, in particular a lower (C2_5) alcohol, for example ethanol, IMS (industrial methylated spirit) or propanol. In a preferred method 3TC in bipyramidyl form may be obtained from 3TC in needle form by ageing the latter in industrial Methylated Spirit (IMS) or ethanol at elevated T3 temperature (e.g. 30—70°, particularly about 50°C) for an appropriate time (e.g. 0.5- 3hrs, in particular about 1 hour or more).
Alternatively 3TC in bipyramidyl form may be obtained by heating the compound in needle form above its melting point of 124-127°, in particular above about 170°C, for example above about 177-178°C and allowing the melt to cool. ln a further alternative 3TC in bipyramidyl form may be obtained by grinding or milling the compound in the form of needle shaped crystals.
Preferably 3TC is in the form of bipyramidyl shaped crystals substantially free of needle crystals. Where these crystals are obtained by recrystallisation or ageing in liquid media the compound will normally be obtained entirely free of needle shaped crystals.
TC in crystalline form may be used as an antiviral agent as described in W091/17159 which is incorporated herein by reference.
TC in crystalline form may be formulated as a pharmaceutical formulation for use as an antiviral agent in described in W091/17159.

INTERMEDIATE 2 (flcis-1—(2—Benzoyloxymethyl-1 ,3-oxathiolan-5—yl)-( 1 H)-pyrimidin-2~4—dione A mixture of finely ground uracil (9.62g) hexamethyl disilazane (50 ml) and ammonium sulphate (30 mg) was heated at reflux under nitrogen until a clear solution was obtained. This was cooled and then evaporated to a colourless oil, which was dissolved, under nitrogen atmosphere, in acetonitrile (100m|). The solution was added to a stirred ice cooled solution of 5-methoxy—1,3-oxathiolane methanol, benzoate (intermediate 1) (19.43g), in acetonitrile (600ml) and trimethyl silyl trifluoromethanesulphonate (14.7ml) was added. The ice bath was removed, and the solution was heated at reflux under nitrogen for 45 mins. After cooling and evaporation, the residue was purified by column chromatography over 1kg of silica gel (Merck 9385) eluting with chloroform/methanol 9:1. Appropriate fractions were cooled and evaporated to afford a crude residue.This was fractionally crystallized from the minimum of hot methanol (c.1200ml) to afford the title compound (6.329) as white crystals. 1H NMR(d5DMSO) 6 11.36 (1H,bs). 7.50-8.00 (6H,m), 6.20 (1H,t), .46 (2H,m), 4,62 (2H, m), 3.48 (1H, m), 3.25 (1H, m).
INTERMEDIATE 3 (1)-(cis)-4—Amino—1-(2-benzovloxymethyl-1 ,3—oxathiolanyl)-( 1 H)-pyrimidinone Method (a) A suspension of cytosine (20.705g) and ammonium sulphate (few mgs) in hexamethyldisilazane (110m|) was stirred and heated at reflux for 2‘/zh, under nitrogen. Solvent was removed by evaporation, and the residual solid was dissolved in dry acetonitrile (350ml). This solution was transferred using flexible needle techniques into a stirred, ice—chi|led solution of 5-methoxy-1 ,3-oxathiolane methanol, benzoate (Intermediate l) (43.57g) in acetonitrile (650ml) under nitrogen.
Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulphonate (33ml) was added, the solution was allowed to warm to ambient temperature (11/2h) then heated to reflux for an overnight period. The residue mixture was concentrated, diluted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (500ml), then extracted with ethyl acetate (3x500ml).The combined extracts were washed with water (2x250ml) and brine (250m|) dried (MQSO4) then evaporated to a foam which was subjected to column chromatography on silica (600g, merck 7734), eluted with ethyl acetate-methanol mixtures to give a mixture of anomers (ca 1:1 31.59g). The mixture was crystallised from water (45ml) and ethanol (9.0m|) to give a solid (10.23g) which was recrystallised from ethanol (120ml) and water (30ml) to give the title product as a white solid (9.26g); /lmax (MeOH) 229.4mm (E1% 610); 272.4mm (E1% 1cm 1cm 293); 1H NMR (DMSO d6) 6 3.14 (1H), 3.50 (1H), 4.07 (2H), 5.52 (1H), 5.66 (1H), 6.28 (1H), 7.22 (2H), 7.56 (2H), 7.72 _(2H), 8.10 (2H).
Method (bl Phosphorus oxychloride (7.0ml) was added dropwise to a stirred, ice—cooled suspension of 1,2,4—triazole (11.65g) in acetonitrile (120ml) then, keeping the internal temperature below 15°C, triethylamine (22.7ml) was added dropwise. After min a solution of (_t)«cis —1—(2—benzoyloxymethyl-1,3~oxathiolanyl)~(1 H)- pyrimidin—2,4—dione (intermediate 2) (6.279) in acetonitrile (330m|) was slowly added.
Stirring was then continued at room temperature overnight. The mixture was cooled by means of an ice bath and triethylamine (30ml) was slowly added followed by water (21ml). The resultant solution was evaporated, and the residue was partitioned between saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (400ml) and chloroform (3x200ml).
The combined chloroform extracts were dried and magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to give a crude residue (9.7g).The residue was dissolved in 1,4-dioxan (240ml) and concentrated aqueous ammonia solution (s.g 0.880, 50ml) was added.
After 1%h the solution was evaporated and the residue dissolved in methanol. This caused precipitation of a solid, which was filtered off. The mother liquors were purified by column chromatography over silica gel (Merck 9385, 600g). Appropriate fractions were pooled and evaporated to give the title compound as a fawn solid (2.18g), identical to that obtained by Method (a).

Solids were removed by filtration then washed with methanol. The combined filtrates were evaporated. The residue was triturated with ethyl acetate (80ml). The resulting white solid was collected by filtration to give the title product (5.09g), 1H NMR (DMSO-(I5) 3.04 (1H), 3.40 (1 H), 3.73 (2H), 5.18 (1H), 5.29 (1H), 5.73 (1 H), 6.21 (1H), 7.19 (2H), 7,81 (1H).
INTERMEDIATE 5 (~)-cis—4—Amino(2—hvdroxvmethvl—1 ,3-oxathiolanvl)-(1 H) pvrimidinone (i) Three 50ml flasks of nutrient broth (Oxoid Ltd) were inoculated with a loopful each of Escherichia coli (ATCC 23848) scraped from a Nutrient Agar plate.The flasks were incubated overnight at 37°C with shaking at 250 rev/min and then each flask was used to inoculate 41 of CDD medium (glutamic acid, 3g/1; MgSO4, 0.2g/1: K2804, 2.5g/1; NaCl, 2.3g/1, Na2HPO42H20, 1.1g/1, NaH2PO42H20 0.6g/I cytidine, 1.2g/I) in a seven litre fermenter. The cultures were fermented at 750 rev/min, 37°C with aeration at 41/min. After growth for 24hrs the cells were collected by centrifugation (5000g, 30 minutes) to yield 72g wet weight.
The cell pellet was resuspended in 300ml of 20mM Tris HCI buffer (pH 7.5) and disrupted by sonication (4 x 45 seconds). The cell debris was removed by centrifugation (30,000 g, 30 minutes) and the protein in the supernatant was precipitated by addition of ammonium sulphate to 75% saturation.The precipitate was collected by centrifugation (30,000g. 30 minutes) and the pellet was resuspended in 25ml of HEPES buffer (100mM, pH 7.0) containing ammonium sulphate (75% saturation). Enzyme solution was prepared by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 30 mine. The supernatant was discarded and the pellet dissolved in Tris HCI buffer (pH 7.0; 100mM) to the original volume. (ii) Intermediate 4 (115mg was dissolved in water (100m|), and stirred.
Enzyme solution (0.5mI) was added, and the mixture was maintained at a constant pH by the continual addition of HCI (25mM). The conversion was monitored by chiral HPLC, which showed that the (+) enantiomer of the substrate was preferentially deaminated. After 22hr the (+) enantiomer of the substrate (RT 12.5min) had been completely removed, and the solution was adjusted to pH 10.5 by the addition of conc. sodium hydroxide.
The solution produced above was eluted through a column of QAE Sephadex (A25; Pharmacia; 30X 1.6cm), pre—equilibrated to pH11. Thecolumn was washed with water (200ml) and then with HCI (0.1M). Fractions (40m|) were taken, and analysed by reversed phase HPLC. Fractions 5-13, containing the unreacted (-) enantiomer of the substrate, were combined and adjusted to pH 7.5 with HCI.
Fraction 47, containing deaminated product, was adjusted to pH7.5 with dil. NaOH.
Analysis by chiral HPLC showed that this material was a mixture, consisting of one enantiomer (RT 10.2min) as the major component with the other enantiomer (RT 8.5min) as a minor component (e.e ca 90%). (iii) Stage (ii) above was repeated on a larger scale. The compound of Example 1 (363mg) in 250ml of water was incubated with enzyme solution (O.5ml), prepared as in Stage (i). Further aliquots (O.5ml) of enzyme were added after 18 and 47 hrs. The reaction mixture was stirred for 70hr., then left standing for a further 64hr. Analysis by chiral hplc indicated that the (+) enantiomer of the substrate had been completely deaminated, and the resulting solution was adjusted to pH 105 with NaOH.
The solution above was loaded onto the same QAE column, and eluted as in stage (i). Fractions 2-6, containing a mixture of the residual substrate and deaminated product, were bulked. Fractions 7-13, containing the residual substrate ((-) enantiomer), were bulked and adjusted to pH 7.5. Fractions 25-26, containing deaminated product, were bulked and neutralised Fractions 2-6 above were re-eluted through the same QAE column. Fractions 3-11 from this second column contained unrected substrate ((-) enantiomer).
Fraction 70 contained the deaminated product. (iv) The resolved substrate fractions from stage (ii) and (iii) were combined and adjusted to pH 7.5. This solution was eluted through a column of XAD-16 (40x2.4cm), packed in water. The column was washed with water, and then eluted with acetone: water (1:4 v/v). Fractions containing the desired (-) enantiomer were bulked and freeze—dried to give a white powder (190mg).
