Abstract
Certain novel sterol derivatives can be used for regulating the meiosis in oocytes and in male germ cells.
Description
REGULATORY COMPOUNDS OF THE MEIOSIS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to certain pharmacologically active compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions containing certain compounds as an active substance and to their use as medicaments. More particularly, it has been found that the derivatives described herein can be used to regulate meiosis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Meiosis is the only and last event of the germ cells on which sexual reproduction is based. Meiosis comprises two meiotic divisions. During the first division, the exchange between maternal and paternal genes takes place before the pairs of chromosomes separate into the two daughter cells. These contain only half the number (ln) of chromosomes and 2c DNA. The second meiotic division proceeds without a synthesis of DNA. This division, therefore, Ref: 124545
results in the formation of haploid germ cells only with lc DNA. Meiotic events are similar in male and female germ cells, but the timing and differentiation processes that lead to egg and sperm differ profoundly. All female germ cells enter the prophase of the first meiotic division in early life, often before birth, but all are arrested as oocytes later in the prophase (state of death) until ovulation after puberty. In this way, from early life, women have a reserve of oocytes that are extracted until the reserve is exhausted. Meiosis in women is not completed until after fertilization, and results in only one egg and two abortive polar bodies per germ cell. In contrast, only some of the male germ cells enter meiosis from puberty and leave a major population of major cells throughout life. Once initiated, meiosis in the male cell proceeds without significant delay and produces sperm.
Little is known about the mechanisms that control the onset of meiosis in men and women. In the oocyte, new studies indicate that follicular purines, hypoxanthine or adenosine, may be responsible for meiotic arrest (Do ns, S.M. et al Dev. Bi ol.
(1985) 45 -458; Eppig, J.J. et al. Dev. Bi ol. 119
(1986) 313-321; and Downs, S.M. Mol. Reproel. Dev. 35 (1993), 82-94). The presence of a diffusible substance that regulates meiosis was first described by Byskov et al. in a fetal mouse gonad culture system (Byskov, A.G. et al., in Dev. Bi ol., 52 (1976), 193-200). A meiosis-activating substance (MAS) was secreted by the mouse fetal ovary in which meiosis was progressing, and a substance that prevents meiosis (MPS) was released from the testes morphologically differentiated with non-meiotic germ cells, at rest. It was suggested that the concentrations of MAS and MPS regulate the initiation, arrest, and resumption of meiosis in male and female germ cells (Byskov, AG et al in The Physiology of Reproducti on (eds, Knobil, E. and Neill, JD, Raven Press, New York (1994).) Clearly, if the
meiosis can be regulated, reproduction can be controlled. A recent article (Byskov, A.G. et al. In Na ture 37_ (1995), 559-562) describes the isolation from bull testes and from human follicular fluid of certain sterols that activate the meiosis of oocytes. Unfortunately, these sterols are rather labile and the use of the interesting finding could thus be greatly facilitated if more stable meiosis activating compounds were available. In Aus t. J. Chem. 35 (1982), 629-640, Horn et al. compounds that have possibly biological activity (insect shedding hormones) are treated. Examples of compounds specifically mentioned herein are 5-cyano-5-β-cholest-7-en-3-one; 5-cyano-5β-cholest-7-en-3β-ol; 5-methyl-5β-cholest-7-en-3-one; 5-methyl-5β-cholest-7-en-3a-ol; and 5-methyl-5β-cholest-7-en-3ß-ol. In Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. (1971), 2037-204.7, Levisalles et al., Cholesta-4, 8 (14) -dien-3-one is described as an intermediate. In Just. Li eb. Ann. Chem. 542 (1939), 218-224, indaus et al., Mention is made of the cholesta-4,7-
dien-3-one; cholesta-4, 7-dien-3a-ol; and cholesta-4,7-dien-3ß-ol as intermediates. In Pharm. Bull. 1 (1953) 224-227, Arima mentions cholesta-, 8-dien-3-one as an intermediate. In Lipids 13 (1978), 704 et seq., Kandutsch et al. describe some cholestane derivatives that can be potent inhibitors of sterol synthesis. The compounds specifically mentioned herein are, in Figure 1, 3β, 7a-dihydroxycholest-5-ene; 3β, 7β-dihydroxycholest-5-ene; 3β-hydroxycholest-5-en-7-one; 3β, hydroxycholest-7-one; 7a-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one; in Figure 2 (compounds 1-5), cholest-3, 6-dione; 3β-hydroxylest-6-one; 3β, 6β-dihydroxylestanol; cholest-4-en-3, 6-dione; 3β, 5α, 6β-trihydroxylestanol; in Figure 3, 3β, 5a-dihydroxycholestane; 3β, 4β-dihydroxycholest-5-ene; and in Figure 4 (compounds 1, 3, 4 and 5), cholest-2-en-6-one; cholest-4, 6-dien-3-one; cholest-4, 7-dien-3-one; cholest-3, 5-dien-7-one.

Books can be used as a key source in the synthesis: L.F. Fieser & M. Fieser: Steroids: Reinhold Publishing Corporation, NY 1959; Rood's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds (ed. S. Coffrey): Elsevier Publishing Company, 1971; J. Fried and J.A. Edwards: Organic Reactions in Steroid Chemistry, Vol. I and II, Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, New York, 1972; and especially Diccionary of Steriods (editors: R.A. Hill; D.N. Kirk; H.L.J. Makin and G.M. Murphy): Chapman & Hall. The last contains an extensive list of citations to the original documents covering the period up to 1990. All these books, including the last mentioned citations, are incorporated by reference. Furthermore, the information in all previous publications (including the patent specifications) have to do with the preparation of similar compounds with compounds of the formula la, Ib and le which are incorporated by reference. Particularly, the compounds of the present invention can be synthesized according to the following general procedures: Co-5-8-dien-3-ol 1, which is synthesized as described in the literature [J. Lip. Res. 37, 1529, (1996)], can be oxidized in
an Oppenauer reaction to give cholesta-4,8-dien-3-one 2 (Reaction Scheme 1). In this reaction, the sterol is treated with a ketone such as acetone, quinone or cyclohexanone in the presence of aluminum isopropoxide or aluminum tert-butoxide [eg, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin I 2667 (1994)]. The sterol can also be oxidized with pyridinium dichromate [see Synth. Common. 20 (1990). The same oxidation reaction can be carried out with the cholesta-5, 8 (14) -dien-3ß-ol, which is also synthesized as described in the literature [J. Lip. Res. 37 (1996), 1529] to give the cholesta-5, 8 (14) -dien-3-one. For this ketone, a laborious synthesis in the literature is described [Bul l. Soc. Chim. Fr. 2037 (1971)]. Cholesta-4, 7-dien-3-one is synthesized according to the procedures of the literature [Li ebi gs Ann. Chem. 542 (1939), 218] (in Reaction Scheme 1, the series with the double bond? B are shown as an example, with analogous reactions having to be performed in the series? 7 and? 8 (14 >;). In the following, only the synthesis in the series is described? 8. The derivatives in the series? 7 and? 8'14 'can be synthesized by a person skilled in the art from the
corresponding initial materials in the same way.
Reaction Scheme 1:
Enone 2 can be treated with different Grignard reagents of 1 to 6 carbon atoms to give two diatereoisomeric alcohols 3 and 4 (with R 3 = alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms), which are easily separated by column chromatography [ example, J. Med. Chem. 40 (1997), 61].
The cholesta-4, 8-dien-3-one 2 can be reduced according to well-known procedures of the literature. The lithium-aluminum hydride, the
Sodium borohydride and diisobutylaluminum hydride are especially useful [e.g., Li ebi gs Ann. Chem. 542 (1939), 218]. Two diastereoisomeric alcohols of formulas 3 and 4 (with R 3 = hydrogen) can be obtained and easily separated by column chromatography. For the introduction of perfluoroalkyl substituents in the 3-position, cholesta-4,8-dien-3-one 2 can be treated with perfluoroalkyltrialkylsilanes in the presence of fluoride sources such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride or cesium fluoride. The trifluoromethyl group is preferably introduced with reagents such as trimethylsilyltrifluoro ethane or triethylsilyltrifluoromethane [J. Org. Chem. 56 (1991), 984; J. Org. Chem. 54 (1989), 2873]. Again, two diastereoisomeric alcohols of formulas 3 and 4 (with R3 = perfluoroalkyl, preferably: trifluoromethyl) can be obtained and easily separated by column chromatography. Cyanoketones 5 and 6 are available starting from cholesta-4, 8-dien-3-one 2 via an addition of cyanide conjugate (Scheme
Reaction 2). Different reagents such as diethylaluminum cyanide [J. Org. Chem. 59 (1994), 2766] and some alkali metal and alkaline earth metal cyanides [Tetrahedron Lett. 28 (1987), 4189; Dog. J. Chem. 59 (1981), 1641] can be used in this reaction.
Reaction Scheme 2
Easily separated cyanoketones 5 and 6 can be reduced according to the well-known procedures of the literature. Lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride and diisobutyl aluminum hydride are preferably used [e.g., Aus t. J. Chem. 35 (1982), 629]. In the reduction reactions, two diastereomeric alcohols 7 and 8 (R3 = H) are obtained, respectively, 9 and 10 (R3 = H). The cyanoketones of formulas 5 and 6 can also be treated with Grignard reagents [eg, Chem. Pharm. Bul l. 9 (1961), 854] to give two diastereomeric tertiary alcohols 7 and 8 or 9 and 10 (with R3 = alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms), respectively. The hydroxymethyl derivatives of the formulas 12 and 14 can be synthesized in two-step sequences from the cyanoalcohols 8 and 9, respectively (Scheme 3). First, the cyano group can be reduced with an electrophilic reducing agent such as diisobutylaluminium hydride to give the corresponding imines, which are hydrolyzed in itself to the carbaldehydes 11 and 13. In the second step, the carbaldehydes can be further reduced
with well-known reducing agents such as lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride or diisobutylaluminum hydride to the desired hydroxymethyl derivatives [eg, J. Med. Chem. 39 (1996), 5092].
Reaction Scheme 3
The methane derivatives of formulas 15 and 16 can be synthesized from the allylic alcohols 3 and 4, respectively (Reaction Scheme 4). Different variations of the reaction of? Immons-Smi'th can be employed. As reactants, the diiodomethane in the presence of the zinc / copper pair [for example, J. Or? . Chem. 31 (1966), 3869; J. Med.
Chem. 39 (1996), 4218] as well as chloroiodomethane in the presence of a solution of diethylzinc [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 108 (1986), 6343] can be used in this cyclopropanation reaction.
Reaction Scheme 4
5β-methylcholest-8-en-3-one 17 can be synthesized from cholesta-4,8-dien-3-one 2 via a conjugate addition reaction (Reaction Scheme 5). The methyl group is introduced with either lithium dimethyl caprate [e.g., Aust. J. Chem. 35 (1982), 629] or with the methyl-Grignard or trimethylaluminum compounds in the presence of
nickel catalysts [for example Tetrahedron Let t. 35 (1994), 6075; Synthesis 3 (1995), 317].
Reaction Scheme 5
The subsequent reduction of 5-methylketone 17 is achieved with different well-known reducing agents such as lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride and diisobutylaluminum hydride [e.g., Aust. J. Chem. 35 (1982), 629]. Two diastereoisomeric alcohols 18 and 19 (R3 = hydrogen) can be obtained and easily separated by column chromatography. If the 5-methyl ketone 17 is treated with Gignard reagents, two diastereomeric tertiary alcohols (18 and 19) are obtained, with R 3 = alkyl of 1 to 6
carbon atoms), which are easily separated by column chromatography. Analogs that combine a 5-cyano substituent with different spheroidal side chains can be synthesized by the following general route (see Reaction Scheme 6): starting from the licheterol, which can be synthesized as described in the literature [J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 (1981), 2125], an enone can be generated by an Oppenauer oxidation [for example, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 (1994), 2667]. A cyano group can be introduced by addition of conjugate [J. Org. Chem. 59 (1994), 2766]. After the protection of 3-ketone as a ketal, the side chain can be cleaved by ozonolysis and the subsequent reductive work [Synthesis 3 (1990), 193]. The 22-alcohol can be transformed to the corresponding tosylate to generate the appropriate leaving group for the copper-catalyzed addition of the Grignard reagents. By this addition, different alkyl and aryl side chains can be introduced [Chem, Pharm. Bull. 28 (1980), 606]. After deprotection of the ketone, the latter can be reduced to the corresponding α- and β-alcohols by standard methods.
Reaction Scheme 6
The compounds of the present invention will influence meiosis in oocytes as well as in male germ cells. The existence of a substance that induces meiosis in nature has been known for some time. However, until recently, the identity of the substance or substances inducing meiosis was unknown. The prospects that are capable of influencing meiosis are several. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug thereof can be used to stimulate meiosis. According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug thereof can be used to stimulate meiosis in humans. Thus, the compounds of the formula la, Ib or le and the ester, the salt, the active metabolite or prodrugs thereof are promising as new fertility regulating agents without the usual side effect on somatic cells which are known of hormonal contraceptives
to date used, which are based on estrogens and / or gestagens. For use as a contraceptive agent in women, a meiosis-inducing substance can be administered to prematurely induce the resumption of meiosis in oocytes, while these are still in the growing follicle, before the ovulatory peak of the oocytes occurs. gonadotropins. In women, the resumption of meiosis can, for example, be induced one week after the previous menstruation has ceased. When they ovulate, it is most likely that the resulting oocyte oocytes are not fertilized. The normal menstrual cycle is probably not affected. In this context it is important to note that the biosynthesis of progesterone in cultured human granulosa cells (somatic cells of the follicle) is not affected by the presence of a meiosis-inducing substance, while the estrogens and progestins used in hormonal contraceptives used to date did have an adverse effect on the biosynthesis of progesterone.
According to yet another aspect of this invention, a meiosis-inducing substance of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, a salt, an active metabolite or a prodrug thereof can be used in the treatment of certain cases of infertility in female subjects, including women, by administering them to female subjects who, due to insufficient self-production of meiosis-activating substance, are unable to produce mature oocytes. Also, when in vitro fertilization is carried out, better results can be achieved when a compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug thereof is added to the medium in which the compounds are grown. oocytes When infertility in male subjects, including man, is caused by insufficient self-production of the meiosis-activating substance, and thus a lack of mature sperm cells, the administration of a compound of the formula la, Ib or or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug thereof may alleviate the problem.
As an alternative to the method described above, contraception in female subjects can also be achieved by the administration of a compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug thereof which inhibits meiosis, so that mature oocytes are not produced. Similarly, contraception in male subjects can be achieved by administering a compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug thereof, which inhibits meiosis, so that no cells are produced mature sperm The route of administration of the compositions containing a compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug thereof can be any route which effectively transports the active compound to its site of action. . Thus, when the compounds of this invention are to be administered to a mammal, they are conveniently provided in the form of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, metabolite active or prodrug of the
themselves in connection with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. For oral use, such compositions are preferably in the form of capsules or tablets. From the above it will be understood that the administration regime required will depend on the condition to be treated. Thus, when used in the treatment of infertility, administration can take place only once, or for a limited period, for example, until pregnancy is achieved. When used as a contraceptive, the compounds of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug will have to be either administered continuously or cyclically. When they are used as contraceptives by female subjects and not taken continuously, the timing of administration in relation to ovulation will be important.
Pharmaceutical Compositions
Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug,
they may further comprise carriers, diluents, absorption enhancers, preservatives, buffers, agents for adjusting the osmotic pressure, tablet disintegrating agents and other ingredients that are conveniently used in the art. Examples of solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, dextrin, lactose, sugar, talc, gelatin, pectin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, low melting point waxes and cocoa butter. Liquid compositions include sterile solutions, suspensions and emulsions. Such liquid compositions may be suitable for injection or for use in connection with fertilization ex vi ve and in vi tro. The liquid compositions may contain other ingredients that are conveniently used in the art, some of which are mentioned in the above list. In addition, a composition for the transdermal administration of a compound of this invention can be provided in the form of a patch, and a composition for nasal administration can be provided in the form of a nasal spray in powder or liquid form.
The dose of a compound of the formula la, Ib or le or an ester, salt, active metabolite or prodrug to be used will be determined by a physician and will depend, among other things, on the particular compound employed, of the administration route and the purpose of the use. In general, the compositions of the invention are prepared by intimately bringing into association the active compound with liquid or solid auxiliary ingredients and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. Usually, no more than 1000 mg, preferably no more than 100 mg, and in some preferred cases no more than 10 mg of a compound of the formula la, Ib or have to be administered to mammals, for example, to men, for day. None of the compounds of the formula la, Ib and has been shown to be toxic when administered to man in an amount of 1000 mg per day. The compounds of the formula la, Ib or le thereof can be synthesized by methods known per se. The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples which, however, do not have to be considered as limiting the
scope of protection. The features described in the foregoing description and in the following examples may, in any combination thereof, be material for releasing the invention in various forms thereof.

EXAMPLE 71
An agonist oocyte assay can be performed as follows: Oocytes were obtained from immature female mice (C57BL / 6J x DBA / 2J Fl, Bomholtgaard, Denmark) weighing 13-16 grams, which were kept under controlled temperature (20-22 ° C). C), with light (lights from 06.00 to 18.00 hours) and relative humidity (50-70%). The mice received an intra-peritoneal injection of 0.2 ml of gonadotropins (Gonal-F, Serono) containing 20 IU of FSH and 48 hours later the animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The ovaries were dissected and the oocytes were isolated in Hx medium (see below) under a stereomicroscope by manual rupture of the follicles, using a pair of 27-gauge needles. The spherical oocytes showed a
intact germinal vesicle (hereinafter referred to as GV) were divided into oocytes enclosed in clusters (hereinafter referred to as CEO) and naked oocytes (hereinafter designated NO) and placed in minimal essential medium a (a-MEM without ribonucleosides , Gibco BRL, Cat. No. 22561) supplemented with 3 mg / ml of bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma Cat. NO.A-7030), 5 mg / ml of human serum albumin (HSA, Statens Serumininstitute, Denmark), 0.23 mM pyruvate (Sigma, Cat. No. S-8636), 2 mM glutamine (Flow Cat. No. 16-801), 100 IU / ml penicillin and 100 μg / ml streptomycin (Flow Cat. No. 16- 700). This medium was supplemented with 3 mM hypoxanthine (Sigma Cat. No. H-9377) and designated Hx medium. The oocytes were rinsed 3 times in Hx medium and the oocytes of uniform size were divided into groups of CEO and NO. The CEOs and NOs were grown in 4-well multi-discs (Nunclon, Denmark) in which each well contained 0.4 ml of Hx medium. A control well (eg 35-45 oocytes cultured in identical medium without addition of test compound) was always cultivated simultaneously with 3 test wells (35-
45 oocytes per well supplemented with the test compound). The oocytes were cultured in a humidified atmosphere of 5% C02 in air for 24 hours at 37 ° C. By the end of the culture period, the number of germinal vesicle oocytes (hereinafter referred to as GV), the germinal vesicle rupture (hereinafter referred to as GVB) and the polar bodies (hereinafter referred to as PB) , respectively, were counted using a stereomicroscope (Wildt, Leica MZ 12). The percentage of GVB defined as the percentage of oocytes that undergo GVB by total number of oocytes in that well, was calculated as:% GVB = (number of GVB + number of PB / total number of oocytes) X 100. The percentage of PB was defined as the percentage of oocytes that show a polar body extruded by total number of oocytes in that well. The effect of the tested compounds has been compared against the control level and 4,4-dimethyl-5a-cholesta-8, 14, 24-trien-3ß-ol (hereinafter referred to as FF-MA?) Where the controls and FF-MAS are compared for an effect of 0 and 100,
respectively. The relative effect of the tested compound is calculated as follows: Relative effect = ((% of test GVB -% of control GVB) / (FF-MA?% GVB -% of control GVB)) x 100.

EXAMPLE 72
An antagonist oocyte assay can be performed as follows:
Animals
The oocytes were obtained from immature female mice (hybrids C57BI / 6J x DBA / 2J F-l, Bomholtgaard, Denmark) weighing 13-16 grams, which were kept under controlled temperature and illumination. Mice received an intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 ml of gonadotropins (Gonal F, Serono, Solna, Sweden, containing 20 IU of FSH, alternatively, Puregon, Organon, Swords, Ireland, containing 20 IU of FSH) and 48 hours later the animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation.
Test of meiosis inhibiting substances in the oocyte test.
The ovaries were dissected and the oocytes were isolated in Hx medium (see below) under a stereomicroscope by manual rupture of the
follicles using a pair of 27 gauge needles. Bare spherical oocytes (NO) showing an intact germ cell vesicle (GV) were placed in minimal essential medium a (a-MEM without ribonucleosides, Gibco BRL, Cat. No. 22561) supplemented with 3 mM hypoxanthine (Sigma Cat. No. H-9377), 8 mg / ml human serum albumin (HSA, Statens Seruminstitut, Denmark) 0.23 mM pyruvate (Sigma, Cat. No. S-8636), 2 mM glutamine (Flow Cat. No. 16-801), 100 IU / ml penicillin and 100 μg / ml streptomycin (Flow Cat. No. 16-700). This medium was designated Hx medium. Naked oocytes (NO) were rinsed 3 times in Hx medium. The 4, 4-dimethyl-5a-cholesta-8, 14, 2 -trien-3ß-ol (FF-MAS) has previously shown that it induces meiosis in NO in vitro (Byskov, AG and collaborators Na t ure 374 (1995), 559-562). The NO were cultured in Hx medium supplemented with 5 μM FF-MAS in co-culture with the test compounds in different concentrations of 4-well multidisc (Nunclon, Denmark) in which each well contained 0.4 ml of the medium and 35-45 oocytes. A positive control (for example 35-45 oocytes cultured in Hx medium containing FF-MAS without addition of the test compound) was always run
simultaneously with the test cultures, which were supplemented with different concentrations of the compounds that are going to be tested. In addition, a negative control (35-45 oocytes cultured in Hx medium alone) was run simultaneously with the positive control.
Oocyte examination
By the end of the culture period, the number of oocytes with the germinal vesicle (GV) or rupture of the germinal vesicle (GVB) and those with the polar body (PB) were counted using a stereomicroscope or an inverted microscope with contrast equipment of differential interference. The percentage of oocytes with GVB + PB per total number of oocytes was calculated in the test cultures and in the control culture groups (positive and negative). The relative inhibition of the test compound was calculated by the following formula:
Inhibition of the test compound (in percent) =
In the case of a dose-response curve, an IC50 (dose leading to a 50% inhibition) was calculated.
It is noted that in relation to this date, the best method known to the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention is that which is clear from the present description of the invention.
