Abstract

This invention relates to the L-ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B, a process for preparing it and to its use as an antifungal agent.

Description

Novel Compounds This invention relates to the L-ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16hydroxymethylamphotericin B, its preparation and its use as a therapeutic agent.
EP-A-0375222 (Beecham Group p.l.c.) discloses a class of compounds which are described as possessing anti-fungal activity. One compound which is specifically mentioned in this patent specification is Example 4 i.e. 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B. This compound is only described as the free base which has been found to possess poor solubility in aqueous media.
It has now been discovered that the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16hydroxymethylamphotericin B is particularly stable and has improved solubility in aqueous media.
Accordingly, the present invention provides the L- ascorbate salt of 16decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B. , , I The present invention further provides the L- ascorbate salt of 16decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B in substantially pure form.
In a further aspect, the present invention provides the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B in greater than 5% purity, preferably greater than 60% purity, yet more preferably greater than 80% purity, yet more preferably greater than 90% purity and most preferably greater than 95% purity.
The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of the Lascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B which comprises reacting the free base or a salt other than the L- ascorbate of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B in solution with Lascorbic acid and isolating the resulting product.
The reaction is preferably carried out in aqueous media at ambient temperature. The addition of ascorbic acid is preferably controlled so that P30120 =-5 22 2 6 4 -2the pH of the solution of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B does not fall below pH5.
The ascorbate salt is suitably isolated by freeze drying. 16-Decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B, free base may be prepared according to the procedures outlined in EP-0375222 (Beecham Group p.l.c.) Alternatively, 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B free base is prepared by the process which comprises the selective reduction of a wherein Rj_‘ is an activated carboxylic acid derivative; R2' is C^.g alkyl; R3' is an amine protection group; and each R4' is a silyl protecting group; and thereafter, optionally or as necessary and in any appropriate order converting R2' to hydrogen removing any amine protection group and removing any R4 silyl protecting group and/or forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, this forms a further aspect of the invention, and the free base may be converted to the L-ascorbate salt as hereinbefore described.
Preferred values for Ri', R2' and R3' and interconversions of R2' to hydrogen and the removal of amine protection groups are disclosed in EP-A-0375222 (Beecham Group p.l.c.).
Preferred silyl protecting groups are described in EP-A-0375223 (Beecham Group p.l.c.) R2' is preferably methyl, R3' is preferably 9Fluoroenylmethyoxy-carbonyl and R4' is most preferably triethylsilyl.
P30120 ® 2 2 2 -3Compounds of formula (II) may be prepared using the procedures outlined in EP-A-037522 (Beecham Group p.l.c.).
The L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B is an anti-fungal agent, potentially useful in combating fungal infections in animals, including humans. For example it is potentially useful in treating topical fungal infections in man caused by, among other organisms, species of Candida. Trichophyton. Microsporum or Epidermophyton. or in mucosal infections caused by Candida albicans (e.g. thrush and vaginal candidiasis). It may also be used in the treatment of systemic fungal infections caused by, for example Candida albicans. Cryptococcus neoformans. Aspergillus fumigatus. Coccidioides. Paracoccidioides. Histoplasma or Blastomyces spp. It may also be of use in treating eumycotic mycetoma, chromoblastomycosis, and phycomycosis.
The invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier. The I composition is preferably for human use in tablet, capsule, injectable or cream form.
For human use, the L- ascorbate salt or 16-decarboxy-16hydroxymethylamphotericin B can be administered alone, but will generally be administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. For example it may be administered orally in the form of a tablet containing such excipients as starch or lactose, or in a capsule or ovule either alone or in admixture with excipients, or in the form of an elixir or suspension containing a flavouring or colouring agent. It may be injected parenterally, for example, intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. For parenteral administration, it is best used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other substances, for example, enough salts or glucose to make the solution isotonic.
For oral and parenteral administration to human patients, it is expected P30120 -1' 2 2 2 <§ -4that the daily dosage level of the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16hydroxymethylamphotericin B will be from 0.1 to 20 mg/kg preferably 0.5 to 2 mg/kg (in divided doses) when administered by either the oral or parenteral route. Thus tablets or capsules of the compounds can be expected to contain from 5 mg to 0.5 g of active compound for administration singly or two or more at a time as appropriate. The physician in any event will determine the actual dosage which will be most suitable for an individual patient and will vary with the age, weight and response of the particular patient. The above dosages are exemplary of the average case. There can, of course, be individual instances where higher or lower dosage ranges are merited, and such are within the scope of this invention.
Alternatively, the L- ascorbate salt or 16-decarboxy-16hydroxymethylamphotericin B can be administered in the form of a suppository or pessary, or they may be applied topically in the form of a lotion, solution, cream, ointment or dusting powder. For example, it can be incorporated into a cream consisting of an aqueous emulsion of polyethylene glycols or liquid paraffin; or it can be incorporated, at a » concentration between 1 and 10%, into an ointment consisting of a white wax or white soft paraffin base together with such stabilizers and preservatives as may be required.
Within the indicated dose range, no adverse toxicological effects have been observed with the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16hydroxymethylamphotericin B which would preclude it administration to suitable patients for the treatment of fungal infections.
The present invention further provides the L- ascorbate salt of 16decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B for use as an active therapeutic substance.
A compound for use as an active therapeutic substance is intended for use in the treatment of disorders in animals including humans. As stated above, the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16hydroxymethylamphotericin B has anti-fungal activity and is potentially useful in combating fungal infections in animals including humans.
P30120 -5Accordingly the present invention further provides the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B for use in the treatment of fungal infections.
The present invention additionally provides a method of treatment of fungal infections in animals, including humans, which comprises administering an effective anti-fungal amount of the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B thereof to the animal.
The present invention also provides the use of the L- ascorbate salt of 16decarboxy-16-hydroxymethylamphotericin B for the manufacture of a medicament for use as an active therapeutic substance in the treatment of fungal infections in animals, including humans.
The present invention also provides pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment of fungal infection which comprises an anti-fungally effective amount of the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16hydroxymethylamphaterin B and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The present invention further provides the use of the L- ascorbate salt of 16-decarboxy-16-hydroxymethyl- amphotericin B in the treatment of fungal infections in animals.
The following Example illustrates the preparation of the compound of the invention and the following Descriptions illustrate the preparation of intermediates thereto.
