DESCRIZIONE del brevetto per invenzione industriale avente per titolo: "Attività antimicotica di inibitori delle HMG-CoA-reduttasi" DESCRIPTION of the patent for industrial invention entitled: "Antifungal activity of HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors"
TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION
La presente invenzione riguarda i composti aventi attività inibente nei confronti degli enzimi del tipo 3-idrossi-3-metilglutaril-CoA-reduttasi che operano nella fase di sintesi degli steroli in un gran numero di eucarioti, ed in particolare riguarda i composti aventi la formula The present invention relates to compounds having inhibitory activity towards enzymes of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA-reductase type which operate in the sterol synthesis step in a large number of eukaryotes, and in particular it relates to compounds having the formula
per l'uso come antimicotici. for use as antifungals.
Tutte le cellule eucariote (funghi, protozoi, animali) contengono specie diverse di steroli che esercitano, tra le altre funzioni, quali ad esempio quelle di precursori di ormoni e di acidi biliari, la funzione di stabilizzazione della struttura della membrana cellulare. All eukaryotic cells (fungi, protozoa, animals) contain different species of sterols which exert, among other functions, such as those of hormone and bile acid precursors, the function of stabilizing the structure of the cell membrane.
Le cellule dei mammiferi ad esempio, sintetizzano il proprio sterolo di membrana, il colesterolo, partendo dall'acetil-coenzima A, ma sono anche in grado di utilizzare il colesterolo esogeno ottenuto attraverso l'alimentazione. In altri eucarioti, ad esempio i funghi, lo sterolo di membrana, ergosterolo, deve sempre essere sintetizzato "de novo" Mammalian cells, for example, synthesize their own membrane sterol, cholesterol, starting from acetyl-coenzyme A, but are also able to use the exogenous cholesterol obtained through food. In other eukaryotes, eg fungi, membrane sterol, ergosterol, must always be synthesized "de novo"
Sia il processo di sintesi del colesterolo nell'uomo, che quello dell'ergosterolo nei funghi sono bersaglio di farmaci che, con scopi terapeutici differenti, agiscono su passaggi diversi del percorso biosintetico delle due molecole. Both the cholesterol synthesis process in humans and that of ergosterol in mushrooms are the target of drugs which, with different therapeutic purposes, act on different steps in the biosynthetic pathway of the two molecules.
In particolare,,è stata scoperta una classe di sostanze in grado di inibire gli enzimi che catalizzano la reazione di riduzione del 3-idrossi-3-metilglutaril coenzima-A ad acido mevalonico, ossia le 3-idrossi-3-metilglutaril coenzima A reduttasi (di seguito HMG-CoA reduttasi). Attualmente sono note due reduttasi di questo tipo, che differiscono per il fatto che una utilizza NADH, mentre l'altra utilizza NADPH. Questo passaggio sintetico è il secondo stadio del processo di sintesi degli steroli, ed è sede di una regolazione di tipo retroattivo (feed-back); per questo motivo risulta uno stadio determinante. L'inibizione di tali enzimi quindi rappresenta un 'efficace controllo della sintesi degli steroli, tanto che le sostanze in grado di attuare tale inibizione sono da tempo utilizzate nel trattamento di soggetti ipercolesterolemici. In particular, a class of substances has been discovered capable of inhibiting the enzymes that catalyze the reduction reaction of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme-A to mevalonic acid, that is the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. (hereinafter HMG-CoA reductase). Currently, two such reductases are known, which differ in that one uses NADH, while the other uses NADPH. This synthetic step is the second stage of the sterol synthesis process, and is the seat of a retroactive regulation (feed-back); for this reason it is a decisive stage. The inhibition of these enzymes therefore represents an effective control of the synthesis of sterols, so much so that the substances capable of carrying out this inhibition have long been used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemic subjects.
Le sostanze in grado di inibire l'attività di questi enzimi sono derivanti da una molecola estratta da ceppi di Penicillum, Aspergillus e Monoascus, funghi presenti nell'ambiente, e nota come "compactin". Tale molecola, pur essendo in grado di inibire efficacemente le HMG-CoA reduttasi, si è mostrata, a causa della sua elevata tossicità, inadatta ad un uso farmaceutico. The substances capable of inhibiting the activity of these enzymes are derived from a molecule extracted from strains of Penicillum, Aspergillus and Monoascus, fungi present in the environment, and known as "compactin". This molecule, despite being able to effectively inhibit HMG-CoA reductases, has proved unsuitable for pharmaceutical use due to its high toxicity.
Viceversa, i composti da essa derivati, quali lovastatin (brevetto U.S.A. No. 4231938), simvastatin, pravastatin (brevetto U.S.A. No. Conversely, the compounds derived therefrom, such as lovastatin (U.S.A. Patent No. 4231938), simvastatin, pravastatin (U.S.A. Patent No.
4346227) sono stati utilizzati con successo come principi attivi di farmaci ipocolesterolemizzanti da diverso tempo in commercio. Sono state inoltre recentemente sintentizzate le molecole note come fluvastatin, commercializzato sotto il marchio Lescol(R) , e rivastatin 4346227) have been successfully used as active ingredients of hypocholesterolemic drugs on the market for some time. Molecules known as fluvastatin, marketed under the brand name Lescol (R), and rivastatin have also recently been synthesized.
. Tali molecole sono tutte provviste di un gruppo di tipo . These molecules all have a type group
simile all ' acido idrossimetilglutarìco che è ritenuto essere la porzione attiva della molecola quale inibitore dell'enzima. - Tra le molecolè citate, si possono distinguere quelle che presentano la porzione attiva nella forma (a), vale a dire l'f-lattone, o nella forma (b), vale a dire 11idrossiacido corrispondente. Lovastatin e simvastatin sono in forma (a), e come tali non sono direttamente attivi sull'enzima, ma sono i precursori della forma attiva. L'anello del lattone si apre in ambiente basico o per azione degli enzimi epatici e la molecola esplica la sua funzione inibitrice. Le molecole in forma (b), quali pravastatin, fluvastatin e rivastatin, sono al contrario direttamente attive sulle HMG-CoA reduttasi. similar to hydroxymethylglutaric acid which is believed to be the active portion of the molecule as an inhibitor of the enzyme. - Among the molecules mentioned, it is possible to distinguish those which have the active portion in the form (a), that is to say the f-lactone, or in the form (b), that is to say the corresponding hydroxyacid. Lovastatin and simvastatin are in form (a), and as such are not directly active on the enzyme, but are the precursors of the active form. The lactone ring opens in a basic environment or by the action of liver enzymes and the molecule performs its inhibitory function. On the contrary, the molecules in form (b), such as pravastatin, fluvastatin and rivastatin, are directly active on HMG-CoA reductases.
Anche il processo di sintesi dell'ergosterolo nei funghi, come già accennato in precedenza, è bersaglio di farmaci in cui il principio attivo è costituito da un inibitore specifico di una determinata fase del processo bosintetico. Ad esempio, i farmaci a base di allilamine inibiscono l'enzima squalene epossidasi , che catalizza L 'epossidazione dello squalene, mentre i derivati imidazolici quali itraconazolo, chetoconazolo, e fluconazolo, inibiscono l'enzima 14-α-demetilasi, bloccando la trasformazione del lanosterolo. The process of synthesis of ergosterol in mushrooms, as already mentioned above, is also the target of drugs in which the active principle consists of a specific inhibitor of a certain phase of the bosynthetic process. For example, allylamine-based drugs inhibit the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which catalyzes the epoxidation of squalene, while imidazole derivatives such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, and fluconazole, inhibit the enzyme 14-α-demethylase, blocking the transformation of the lanosterol.
Poiché i processi biosintetici degli steroli negli eucarioti, come già detto, sono molto simili tra di loro, è possibile che gli inibitori delle HMG-CoA reduttasi siano in grado di esplicare una azione antimicotica, inibendo la sintesi dell'ergosterolo in una fase determinante e di regolazione del processo medesimo. Since the biosynthetic processes of sterols in eukaryotes, as already mentioned, are very similar to each other, it is possible that the inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductases are able to exert an antifungal action, inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol in a decisive phase and regulation of the process itself.
In effetti, in EP-A-0410409, è descritta una famiglia di molecole, derivati della tiazolidina in grado di inibire le HMG-CoA reduttasi. Tali molecole sono provviste della medesima porzione attiva delle molecole sopra descritte e, nel documento, viene descritta, congiuntamente all'attività ipocolesterolemizzante , anche la loro attività antimicotica. Indeed, in EP-A-0410409, a family of molecules, derivatives of thiazolidine capable of inhibiting HMG-CoA reductases, is described. These molecules are provided with the same active portion of the molecules described above and, in the document, their antifungal activity is also described, together with the cholesterol-lowering activity.
Inoltre, Urbina J.A. et al. (Antimicrob. Agents Chemother.; 1993 Mar; 37(3): 580-91) descrivono gli effetti del lovastatin, utilizzato da solo ed in combinazione con altri agenti inibitori della sintesi di ergosterolo quali chetoconazolo e terbinafina, sulla crescita del parassita protozoico Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi. Furthermore, Urbina J.A. et al. (Antimicrob. Agents Chemother .; 1993 Mar; 37 (3): 580-91) describe the effects of lovastatin, used alone and in combination with other ergosterol synthesis inhibiting agents such as ketoconazole and terbinafine, on the growth of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi.
Sorprendentemente, nel corso della ricerca che ha dato origine alla presente invenzione, si è potuto verificare che la capacità di alcuni tra i composti descritti in precedenza, di contrastare la<* >produzione di ergosterolo nei funghi, e quindi d esplicare attività antimicotica, era particolarmente pronunciata. Surprisingly, in the course of the research that gave rise to the present invention, it was possible to verify that the ability of some of the compounds described above, to counteract the <*> production of ergosterol in fungi, and therefore to exert antifungal activity, was particularly pronounced.
Oggetto della presente invenzione è pertanto il composto avente la formula: The object of the present invention is therefore the compound having the formula:
per l'uso quale antimicotico. for use as an antifungal.
Ulteriore oggetto dell'invenzione una composizione farmaceutica antimicotica comprendente il composto di cui sopra come principio attivo , da solo od in combinazione con antimicotici imidazolici , allilaminici . A further object of the invention is an antifungal pharmaceutical composition comprising the above compound as an active ingredient, alone or in combination with imidazole, allylamine antifungals.
E ' stata infatti riscontrata, per i composti aventi le formule sopra illustrate , una attività antimicotica particolarmente pronunciata. Nel caso dei due composti aventi Z uguale a (I) e Z uguale a (II), sembra che la loro attività possa essere legata al gruppo p-fluorofenile comune ad entrambi. Diversa si ritiene invece l'origine dell'attività della molecola con Z uguale a (III), che è in pratica il composto noto come simvastatin, trattato con una base per ottenere la forma aperta del gruppo che interagisce con il sito enzimatico, in luogo della forma lattonica comunemente utilizzata. E' interessante considerare il fatto che l'attività antimicotica mostrata da tale composto è molto superiore quella degli altri derivati compactinici. In fact, a particularly pronounced antifungal activity has been found for compounds having the formulas illustrated above. In the case of the two compounds having Z equal to (I) and Z equal to (II), it seems that their activity can be linked to the p-fluorophenyl group common to both. On the other hand, the origin of the activity of the molecule with Z equal to (III) is different, which is in practice the compound known as simvastatin, treated with a base to obtain the open form of the group that interacts with the enzymatic site, in place of the commonly used lactone form. It is interesting to consider the fact that the antifungal activity shown by this compound is much higher than that of the other compactin derivatives.
Sono stati eseguiti dei saggi su diversi ceppi di culture di funghi, ed è.risultato che detti composti sono generalmente attivi contro i funghi utilizzati nel saggio ed in alcuni casi più attivi degli antimicotici comunemente adottati. Vantaggiosamente, il composto dell'invenzione ha mostrato una azione sinergica quando è stato impiegato in coformulazione con un altro agente antimicotico, preferibilmente avente un azione alternativa a quella del composto medesimo, vale a dire in gradò di inibire un enzima diverso, quali i :composti allilaminici od i derivati imidazolici. Tests have been performed on various strains of fungal cultures, and it has been found that said compounds are generally active against the fungi used in the test and in some cases more active than the commonly adopted antifungals. Advantageously, the compound of the invention showed a synergistic action when it was used in coformulation with another antifungal agent, preferably having an alternative action to that of the compound itself, that is to say able to inhibit a different enzyme, such as the compounds allylamines or imidazole derivatives.
La presente invenzione risulterà evidente dagli esempi di seguito riportati. The present invention will become evident from the examples reported below.
Esempio 1 Example 1
Sono state preparate più serie di piastre di Petri da 90 mm di diametro con colture di ceppi di Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans e Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Su ciascuna serie piastre sono stati inoculati 25 mg di fluvastatin, simvastatin trattato con KOH, terbinafina ed itraconazolo rispettivamente. Sono quindi stati misurati i diametri espressi in min delle rarefazioni delle colture in corrispondenza degli inoculi di antimicotico. I risultati sono riportati in tabella 1. Multiple series of 90 mm diameter Petri dishes were prepared with cultures of Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes strains. 25 mg of fluvastatin, simvastatin treated with KOH, terbinafine and itraconazole were inoculated on each plate series, respectively. The diameters expressed in min of the rarefaction of the cultures were then measured in correspondence with the inocula of the antifungal. The results are reported in table 1.
Come si può rilevare dai dati illustrati in tabella 1, il comportamento antimicotìco, sia di fluvastatin che di simvastatin trattato con KOH, è di assoluto rilievo nei confronti della coltura di Aspergillus fumigatus, ed esprime valori confrontabili a quelli dei comuni antimicotici nei confronti della cultura di Candida albicans. As can be seen from the data illustrated in table 1, the antifungal behavior, both of fluvastatin and simvastatin treated with KOH, is of absolute importance towards the culture of Aspergillus fumigatus, and expresses values comparable to those of the common antifungals towards the culture of Candida albicans.
Esempio 2 Example 2
Sono state preparate delle serie di piastre di Petri analogamente all'esempio 1, nelle quali sono state inoculate le sei combinazioni binarie delle quattro sostanze utilizzate nell'esempio precedente, nella dose di 6.25 6.25 mg per inoculo. Sono state anche in questo caso rilevate le rarefazioni delle colture in corrispondenza dell'inoculo. I risultati sono mostrati in tabella 2. Series of Petri dishes were prepared similarly to example 1, in which the six binary combinations of the four substances used in the previous example were inoculated, in the dose of 6.25 to 6.25 mg per inoculum. Also in this case, the rarefaction of the cultures at the inoculum was detected. The results are shown in table 2.
Anche in questo caso fluvastin e simvastatin mostrano una spiccata attività in sinergia con gli antimicotici cui sono di volta in volta combinati, nonché una apprezzabile azione quando sono combinati tra di loro. Si possono inoltre pronosticare anche per rivastatin, date le evidenti affinità strutturali con la molecola di fluvastatin che <'>è stata utilizzata nei saggi sperimentali, dei comportamenti del tutto analoghi. Also in this case fluvastin and simvastatin show a marked activity in synergy with the antifungals to which they are combined from time to time, as well as an appreciable action when they are combined with each other. Moreover, given the evident structural affinities with the fluvastatin molecule that was used in the experimental assays, it is also possible to predict completely similar behaviors for rivastatin.
In conclusione, le molecole oggetto della presente invenzione che sono in grado di inibire le HMG-CoA reduttasi possono agire efficacemente come principi attivi in farmaci antimicotici, sia da sole che in combinazione con altre sostanze ad azione analoga. In conclusion, the molecules object of the present invention which are able to inhibit HMG-CoA reductases can act effectively as active ingredients in antifungal drugs, either alone or in combination with other substances with similar action.
