Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører en forbedret fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av 2 ' ,3'-dideoksy-2'3'-didehydronukleo-sider. The present invention relates to an improved method for the production of 2',3'-dideoxy-2'3'-didehydronucleosides.

Erhvervet immunsviktsyndrom (AIDS) er resultatet av en infeksjon med humant immunsviktvirus (HIV)<*>. Dette retro-viruset utviser spesifikk tropisme for hjelpe/induktor T-celler<2>, hvilket fører til at cellene oppbrukes. Den resulterende immunundertrykkelsen predisponerer HIV-pasienter for livstruende opportunistiske infeksjoner. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the result of an infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)<*>. This retrovirus exhibits specific tropism for helper/inducer T cells<2>, leading to the exhaustion of the cells. The resulting immunosuppression predisposes HIV patients to life-threatening opportunistic infections.

Selv om det for øyeblikket ikke finnes noen helbredelse overfor AIDS, har et nukleosiddervat, 3'-azido-3'-deoksy-tymidin (AZT, Retrovir) allerede vist seg å være et virksomt middel ved behandling av AIDS i kliniske forsøk, og er blitt frigitt av myndighetene for anvendelse på pasienter med AIDS<3>. Et antall andre kjemiske og biologiske midler har vist seg å være biologisk aktive overfor HIV. 2',3'-dideoksy-cytidin (ddC), 2',3'-dideoksyadenosin (ddA)<4>, 2',3'-dideoksy-2'-3'-didehydrocytidin (d4C)<5>, suramin og analoger derav<6>, ribavarin<7>, foscarnet<8>, HPA-239, d-penicillamin<10>, kas-tanospermin<11>, fusidinsyre<12>, 3'-azidoguanosin (AZG)13 og 3'-f luor-3 '-deoksytymidin (FDDT)<14> har alle vist seg å være effektive overfor HIV. Although there is currently no cure for AIDS, a nucleoside derivative, 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-thymidine (AZT, Retrovir) has already been shown to be an effective agent in the treatment of AIDS in clinical trials, and is has been released by the authorities for use on patients with AIDS<3>. A number of other chemical and biological agents have been shown to be biologically active against HIV. 2',3'-dideoxy-cytidine (ddC), 2',3'-dideoxyadenosine (ddA)<4>, 2',3'-dideoxy-2'-3'-didehydrocytidine (d4C)<5>, suramin and analogs thereof<6>, ribavarin<7>, foscarnet<8>, HPA-239, d-penicillamine<10>, castanospermine<11>, fusidic acid<12>, 3'-azidoguanosine (AZG)13 and 3 '-fluoro-3'-deoxythymidine (FDDT)<14> have all been shown to be effective against HIV.

Et antall beskrivelser som er fremkommet i litteraturen har vist at 2',3'-dideoksy-2', 3'-didehydrotymidin (d4T) er i besittelse av aktivitet in vitro overfor HIV i flere cellelinjer-^ . A number of descriptions that have appeared in the literature have shown that 2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydrothymidine (d4T) possesses activity in vitro against HIV in several cell lines.

2',3'-dideoksy-2',3'-didehydrotymidin (d4T) er blitt fremstilt av Horwitz et al. ifølge to forskjellige veier16»*7. Ved den første av disse fremgangsmåtene underkastes 3',5'-anhydroderivatet av tymidineliminerende reaksjonsbetingelser. Ved den andre av disse fremgangsmåtene 2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydrothymidine (d4T) has been prepared by Horwitz et al. according to two different paths16»*7. In the first of these methods, the 3',5'-anhydro derivative is subjected to thymidine-eliminating reaction conditions. By the second of these methods

underkastes det 5'-O-beskyttende 2,3'-anhydronukleosid- subjected to the 5'-O-protecting 2,3'-anhydronucleoside-

derivatet av tymidin ringåpnings-eliminerende reaksjonsbetingelser. the derivative of thymidine ring-opening-eliminating reaction conditions.

Anvendelsen av anhydronukleosider som mellomprodukter ved nukleosidfremstilling er beskrevet innenfor teknikken, som foreliggende oppfinnelse hører inn under<18>. The use of anhydronucleosides as intermediates in nucleoside production is described within the technique, to which the present invention belongs<18>.

Med den nylige oppdagelsen av styrken av 2',3'-dideoksy-2'3'-didehydrotymidin (d4T) som et anti-HIV-middel, blir en fremgangsmåte som muliggjør billig fremstilling av 2',3'-dideoksy-2'3'-didehydronukleosider, herunder d4T, i stor målestokk viktig. With the recent discovery of the potency of 2',3'-dideoxy-2'3'-didehydrothymidine (d4T) as an anti-HIV agent, a method that enables the inexpensive preparation of 2',3'-dideoxy-2' 3'-didehydronucleosides, including d4T, are important on a large scale.

Fremgangsmåten ifølge Horwitz for fremstilling av d4T ut fra 3',5'-anhydroforbindelsen<16>, er ikke gjennomført i større målestokk på grunn av at fullstendig fjerning av det store volumet DMSO, som anvendes ved utøvelse av fremgangsmåten ifølge Horwitz i større målestokk, er meget vanskelig å oppnå, og krever høyvakuum (0,01 mmHg og oppvarming i et temperaturområde på ca. 40-50°C) i et omfattende tidsrom. Disse betingelsene fører til spaltning av glykosidbindingen som danner tymidin som et uønsket biprodukt. Forlenget utsettelse av basiske betingelser, som er nødvendige ved anvendelse av andre oppløsningsmidler enn DMSO (f.eks. THF, DMF), fører også til dekomponering av d4T, som igjen gir tymidin som et uønsket biprodukt. The method according to Horwitz for the production of d4T from the 3',5'-anhydro compound<16>, has not been carried out on a large scale because the complete removal of the large volume of DMSO, which is used when carrying out the method according to Horwitz on a large scale, is very difficult to achieve, and requires a high vacuum (0.01 mmHg and heating in a temperature range of approx. 40-50°C) for an extensive period of time. These conditions lead to cleavage of the glycosidic bond forming thymidine as an unwanted by-product. Prolonged exposure to basic conditions, which is necessary when using solvents other than DMSO (eg THF, DMF), also leads to decomposition of d4T, which in turn gives thymidine as an unwanted byproduct.

Den alternative fremgangsmåten ifølge Horwitz krever beskyttelse av 5'-OH-stillingen forut for dannelse av 2,5'-anhydronukleosidet. Dette 2,5'-anhydronukleosidet kan åpnes for oppnåelse av det 5'-O-beskyttende nukleosidet. The alternative method according to Horwitz requires protection of the 5'-OH position prior to formation of the 2,5'-anhydronucleoside. This 2,5'-anhydronucleoside can be opened to obtain the 5'-O-protecting nucleoside.

Det ønskede 2,3'-anhydronukleosidet kan fremstilles direkte ved omsetning av tymidin med dietyl -(2-klor-l,1-2-tri-fluoretyl)ami<n>l<9>. The desired 2,3'-anhydronucleoside can be prepared directly by reacting thymidine with diethyl-(2-chloro-1,1-2-trifluoroethyl)ami<n>1<9>.

Problemene ved de i litteraturen kjente fremgangsmåtene for fremstilling av de ønskede 2',3'-dideoksy-2* 3'-didehydro-nukleosider ved hjelp av det reaktive 2,3'-anhydromel-lomproduktet omfatter anvendelsen av dietyl(2-klor-l,1,2-trifluoretyl)amin, et fluoraminreagens, som er vanskelig å fremstille og som krever spesielt utstyr. Et alternativ beskrives i litteraturen og omfatter en langvarig 4-trinns-metode som omfatter 5'-O-tritylering, 3'-O-mesylering, detritylering og anhydrodannelse. I litteraturen beskrives at forskjellige andre produkter og biprodukter enn de ønskede 2',3'-dideoksy-2'3'-didehydronukleosidprodukter dannes. The problems with the methods known in the literature for preparing the desired 2',3'-dideoxy-2* 3'-didehydro nucleosides by means of the reactive 2,3'-anhydro intermediate include the use of diethyl (2-chloro- 1,1,2-trifluoroethyl)amine, a fluoramine reagent, which is difficult to prepare and requires special equipment. An alternative is described in the literature and comprises a lengthy 4-step method comprising 5'-O-tritylation, 3'-O-mesylation, detritylation and anhydro formation. In the literature it is described that various other products and by-products than the desired 2',3'-dideoxy-2'3'-didehydronucleoside products are formed.

De spesifikke forbedringene som blir foretatt i den foreliggende fremgangsmåten og som forløper via det reaktive 2,3'-anhydromellomproduktet omfatter den overraskende erkjennelse at anvendelsen av reagenset, tetrabutylammoniumfluorid (TBAF), under ikke-nukleofile betingelser gir det ønskede produktet i ren tilstand, og i stort utbytte. Anvendelsen av KOtBu/DMSO og NaOH/DMF, men ikke NaCN/DMF eller DBU/DMF eller NaOH/MeOH eller KOtBu/BuOH, i stedet for TBAF i THF eller DMF gir det ønskede produktet, selv om utbyttet er mindre og det oppnås noen uønskede biprodukter (3'-epi-tymidin) ved anvendelse av NaOH/DMF. The specific improvements made in the present process which proceed via the reactive 2,3'-anhydro intermediate include the surprising realization that the use of the reagent, tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF), under non-nucleophilic conditions gives the desired product in the pure state, and in large dividends. The use of KOtBu/DMSO and NaOH/DMF, but not NaCN/DMF or DBU/DMF or NaOH/MeOH or KOtBu/BuOH, instead of TBAF in THF or DMF gives the desired product, although the yield is lower and some unwanted by-products (3'-epi-thymidine) using NaOH/DMF.

Fremgangsmåten ifølge foreliggende oppfinnelse er følgelig nyttig ved fremstilling av forskjellige 2',3'-dideoksy-2'3'-didehydronukleosider, spesielt pyrimidin- og pyrinnukleo-sider, med antiviral, antimetabolsk og antineoplastisk aktivitet samt aktivitet overfor human immunsvikt-virus. The method according to the present invention is consequently useful in the production of various 2',3'-dideoxy-2'3'-didehydronucleosides, especially pyrimidine and pyrin nucleosides, with antiviral, antimetabolic and antineoplastic activity as well as activity against human immunodeficiency virus.

En 3 liters, 3-halset, rundbundet kolbe ble utstyrt med en ovenfra montert omrører med propell, en 500 ml skilletrakt og en Claisen-adapter inneholdende tørrerør og termometer. Tymidin (200 g, 0,82 M) og pyridin (750 ml) ble satt til kolben. Blandingen ble omrørt og oppvarmet på et vannbad (20 minutter) for oppnåelse av en klar oppløsning. Deretter ble oppløsningen avkjølt i et isbad til 0-3°C og skilletrakten ble fylt med metansulfonylklorid (206,5 g, 1,08 M). Metansul-fonylkloridet ble deretter tilsatt dråpevis i løpet av 40 minutter uten tydelig eksoterm reaksjon. Oppløsningen ble omrørt ved 0°C i 1 time, og henstod deretter ved 5°C i 18 timer. Den lysebrune blandingen ble deretter utfelt i hurtig omrørt vann (3 liter) inneholdende is (ca. 500 g). Det ønskede produktet ble omgående utkrystallisert. Etter omrøring i 1/2 time ble produktet oppsamlet ved filtrering og flere ganger vasket med vann (3 x 100 ml). Det hvite faste stoffet ble deretter tørket over vakuum natten over (vekt i rå tilstand 322 g, 98% utbytte). Produktet ble omkrystallisert fra varm aceton for oppnåelse av 267 g av et hvitt faststoff (81% utbytte), sm.p. 169-171'C (lit. 170-171'C). A 3 L, 3-necked, round-necked flask was fitted with a top-mounted propeller stirrer, a 500 mL separatory funnel, and a Claisen adapter containing a drying tube and thermometer. Thymidine (200 g, 0.82 M) and pyridine (750 mL) were added to the flask. The mixture was stirred and heated on a water bath (20 minutes) to obtain a clear solution. Then the solution was cooled in an ice bath to 0-3°C and the separatory funnel was filled with methanesulfonyl chloride (206.5 g, 1.08 M). The methanesulfonyl chloride was then added dropwise over 40 minutes without any apparent exothermic reaction. The solution was stirred at 0°C for 1 hour, and then left at 5°C for 18 hours. The light brown mixture was then precipitated in rapidly stirred water (3 litres) containing ice (approx. 500 g). The desired product was immediately crystallized. After stirring for 1/2 hour, the product was collected by filtration and washed several times with water (3 x 100 ml). The white solid was then dried under vacuum overnight (crude weight 322 g, 98% yield). The product was recrystallized from hot acetone to give 267 g of a white solid (81% yield), m.p. 169-171'C (lit. 170-171'C).

3',5'-Di-0-(metansulfonyl)tymidin (248 g, 0,62 M) ble porsjonsvis satt til en omrørt oppløsning av natriumhydroksid (74,7 g, 1,87 M) i vann (1,6 1). Ved tilsetningen ble reaksjonsblandingen en gulorange oppløsning. Den omrørte oppløsningen ble deretter oppvarmet med tilbakekjøling i 2 timer. Ved avkjøling av reaksjonsblandingen til romtemperatur, ble 6N (100 ml) saltsyre tilsatt. Reaksjonsblandingen ble konsentrert i vakuum ved fjernelse av 1,3 1 vann. Den resulterende oppslemmingen ble avkjølt i et isbad i 2 timer. Deretter ble det faste stoffet frafiltrert og vasket forsiktig med isvann, og tørket i vakuum til konstant vekt (103,7 g, 74%). Produktet 3, sm.p. ISS-i<g>CC (lit. 190-193°C) ble anvendt under ytterligere rensning. 3',5'-Di-O-(methanesulfonyl)thymidine (248 g, 0.62 M) was added portionwise to a stirred solution of sodium hydroxide (74.7 g, 1.87 M) in water (1.6 L ). Upon addition, the reaction mixture became a yellow-orange solution. The stirred solution was then heated under reflux for 2 hours. Upon cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, 6N (100 mL) hydrochloric acid was added. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo by removing 1.3 L of water.

Til en trehalset 1 liters kolbe med rund bunn, utstyrt med mekanisk omrører, termometer og nitrogentilledning, ble tørt DMSO (400 ml) og oksetan (90,0 g, 0,402 M) tilsatt. Til oppløsningen ble 97% KOtBu (74 g, 0,643 M) tilsatt i porsjoner på 1,5 g i løpet av 25 minutter. Temperaturen ble holdt mellom 18 og 22"C ved hjelp av et eksternt isbad. Etter endt tilsetning ble reaksjonsblandingen omrørt i ytterligere 1 time og det ble ikke iaktatt noen ytterligere stigning i temperaturen og TLC indikerte at omsetningen var løpt ca. 90% til ende. Reaksjonsblandingen ble omrørt ved 21°C i 16 timer, hvorpå TLC indikerte at reaksjonen var slutt. Viskoseopp-løsningen ble helt i kaldt (4°C) toluen (3 liter), som resulterte i et beige-farvet presipitat. Blandingens temperatur steg til 20°C ved tilsetning av DMSO-oppløsningen. Blandingen ble omrystet av og til i 20 minutter, og filtrert på en 18,5 cm Buchner-trakt. Det oppsamlede, gulaktige, faste stoffet ble vasket to ganger med kald toluen og tørket under sug i 1 time. Det faste stoffet ble oppløst i 30 ml vann og 2 faser ble dannet. Blandingen ble overført til en skilletrakt og den øvre fasen (inneholdende resterende toluen) ble kastet. Den vandige fasen ble overført til et 1 liter begerglass tilsatt pH-probe, magnetpinne og termometer. Temperaturen ble senket til 10°C ved anvendelse av et eksternt isbad. Konsentrert HC1 ble dråpevis tilsatt til den omrørte oppløsningen ved en slik hastighet at temperaturen ble holdt under 15°C. Etter tilsetning av HC1 (50,5 ml, 0,61 M) var pH = 7 ± 0,1 og det ble dannet et presipitat. Til den tykke blandingen ble kalsiumklorid (70 g) tilsatt, og omrøringen ble fortsatt ved 5°C i 1 time. Presipitatet ble oppsamlet og tørket i sug i 2 timer og lufttørket i 16 timer. Faststoffet ble knust og oppslemmet i varm aceton (500 ml) og filtrert. Resten på filterpapiret ble renset med varm aceton (2 x 200 ml), igjen oppslemmet i varm aceton (300 ml), filtrert og påny vasket med varm aceton (2 x 100 ml). Det kombinerte filtratet ble konsentrert til tørrhet for oppnåelse av 51,3 g (57%) d4T som et of f-white fast stoff, sm.p. 165-166°C To a three-necked 1 L round-bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer, and nitrogen line, dry DMSO (400 mL) and oxetane (90.0 g, 0.402 M) were added. To the solution was added 97% KOtBu (74 g, 0.643 M) in 1.5 g portions over 25 minutes. The temperature was maintained between 18 and 22"C by means of an external ice bath. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred for a further 1 hour and no further rise in temperature was observed and TLC indicated that the reaction was approximately 90% complete. The reaction mixture was stirred at 21°C for 16 hours, after which TLC indicated that the reaction was complete. The viscose solution was poured into cold (4°C) toluene (3 liters), which resulted in a beige-colored precipitate. The temperature of the mixture rose to 20°C upon addition of the DMSO solution. The mixture was shaken occasionally for 20 minutes and filtered on an 18.5 cm Buchner funnel. The collected yellowish solid was washed twice with cold toluene and dried under suction for 1 hour. The solid was dissolved in 30 mL of water and 2 phases formed. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the upper phase (containing residual toluene) was discarded. The aqueous phase was transferred to a 1 L beaker spiked with pH- probe, magne stick and thermometer. The temperature was lowered to 10°C using an external ice bath. Concentrated HCl was added dropwise to the stirred solution at such a rate that the temperature was kept below 15°C. After addition of HCl (50.5 mL, 0.61 M) the pH = 7 ± 0.1 and a precipitate formed. To the thick mixture was added calcium chloride (70 g) and stirring was continued at 5°C for 1 hour. The precipitate was collected and dried under suction for 2 hours and air dried for 16 hours. The solid was crushed and slurried in hot acetone (500 mL) and filtered. The residue on the filter paper was cleaned with hot acetone (2 x 200 ml), reslurried in hot acetone (300 ml), filtered and washed again with hot acetone (2 x 100 ml). The combined filtrate was concentrated to dryness to afford 51.3 g (57%) of d 4 T as an off-white solid, m.p. 165-166°C
