AZOLE COMPOUNDS AS THERAPEUTIC AGENTS FOR FUNGAL INFECTIONS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the derivatives of specially substituted azole compounds which have improved antifungal activity as compared to known compounds such as fluconazole and itraconazole and the processes for the preparation thereof. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of the present invention and their use in treating and/or preventing fungal infections in mammals, preferably humans.
Background of the Invention
Life-threatening, systemic fungal infections continue to be a significant problem in health care today. In particular, patients who become "immunocompromised: as a result of diabetes, cancer, prolonged steroid therapy, organ transplantation antirejection therapy, the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or other physiologically or immunologically compromising syndromes, are especially susceptible to opportunistic fungal infections. Most of these infections are caused by opportunistic pathogens, like species of Candida and Aspergillus and Cryptococcus neoformans. During the last 20 years, the incidence of sepsis fungal infection caused by Candida species has increased significantly in debilitated and immuno-compromised patients. In addition, the more aggressive and frequently used broad spectrum antibiotic, antineoplastic and immunosuppressive chemotherapies have also augmented fungal infections.
1a
Cryptococcosis is a leading cause of morbidity among AIDS patients. The incidence of life threatening cryptococcal infection among these patients have been estimated to vary from 10 to 30%. During initial therapy, 10 to 20% of these patients die and 30 to 60% patients succumb within a year. Amphoteracin B has changed disseminated cryptococcosis from uniformly fatal infection to curable infection but since Amphoteracin B penetrates the central nervous system poorly, interventricular injection may have to be administered for successful management of severe cases of patients with cryptococcal meningitis. Invasive aspergillosis has also become a leading cause of death, mainly among patients suffering from acute leukaemia or after allogenic bone marrow transfusion and after cytotoxic treatment of these conditions. It also occurs in patients with condition such as AIDS and chronic granulomatous disease. At present, only Amphoteracin B and itraconazole are available for treatment of aspergillosis. Inspite of their activity in-vitro, the effect of these drugs in-vivo against Aspergillus fumigatus remains low and as a consequence mortality from invasive aspergillosis remains high.
In addition, the emergence of fluconazole -resistant isolates of pathogenic yeasts, particularly in HIV-positive patients, and the general nature of treating fungal infections caused by Aspergillus species, are of growing concerns among infections disease specialists. The precise incidence of infections caused by Aspergillus species is difficult to determine due to lack of accurate, reliable diagnostic methodologies and poor diagnosis. The majority of Aspergillus infections in AIDS patients occur in late stage disease when immune cell functions are minimal. Impaired neutrophil and macrophage function is related to
increased infection rates with Aspergillus species. The most common species of Aspergillus causing disease in AIDS patients are A. fumigatus (83%), A. flavus (9%), A. niger (5%) and A. terreus (3%).
Within the available drugs to treat fungal infections, the azole class appears to be most promising. This class of compounds inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol in fungi, which is the main constituent of fungal cell membrane. Of the various representative antifungals, early azoles used were miconazole, clotrimazole and tioconazole, which were potent against a wide range of fungi pathogenic to human. However, their in-vitro activity was not well exhibited in in-vivo models due to poor oral bioavailability and metabolic vulnerability. Ketoconazole was the first drug that could be used against systemic fungal infection and successfully delivered through oral route. However, it was still quite susceptible to metabolic inactivation and also caused impotence and gynacomastia probably due to its activity against human cytochrome P450 enzymes.
Fluconazole is the current drug of choice for treatment of severe infections caused by Candida species and C. neoformans. However, fluconazole has only weak activity against isolates of Aspergillus species [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 400 (xg/ml], since the drug has low potency (IC50 = 4.8 |j,M) against lanosterol 14a - demethylase, the target enzyme in the fungus. Itraconazole, another triazole antifungal compound, generally is more active than fluconazole in the treatment of aspergillosis, but its activity in the clinic; remains mixed as it showed variable oral availability, low solubility and caused ovarian cancer in animals. This may be due to its high protein binding properties;
PCT/IBO1/00300
Thus, the antifungals available in the market suffer with drawbacks such as, toxicity, narrow spectrum of activity and fungistatic profile rather fungicidal. Some of them also exhibit drug-drug interactions and, as a result, therapy becomes very complex. In view of the high incidence of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients and the recent trends for the steady increase of the populations of such patients, demands for new antifungal agents with broad spectrum of activity and good pharmacokinetic properties has increased. Thus, the continuing demand for safe and effective broad spectrum antifungal agent with favourable pharmacokinetic properties has spurred both the design and development of new systemically active antifungal triazoles. The development of earlier compounds which were referred to as second generation triazoles and which included SCH 39304 (Genaconazole), SCH42427 (Saperaconazole) and BAY R 8783 (Electrazole) had to be discontinued as a result of safety concerns. Another promising second generation triazole, D0870, a derivative of fluconazole, exhibited significant variations in plasma pharmacokinetics besides having weak antiaspergillus activity." Other fluconazole derivatives in different stages of development include voriconazole and ER 30346 (BMS 207147). Voriconazole also shows non-linear pharmacokinetics besides some concern regarding its ocular toxicity, while ER 30346's anti-aspergillus activity, both in vitro and in vivo, is at best, only equal to itraconazole's activity. SCH 56592, is a hydroxylated analogue of itraconazole with potent in-vitro and in-vivo activity, but is undetectable even when the serum drug concentration after several days of treatment are 25 to 100 times above the MIC for the most resistant C. neoformans. Thus, the potent activity of SCH 56592 for C.neoformans is partially negated by its low concentration at the site of infection to the central nervous
system. The above azole candidates are discussed in the following publications: SCH 56592; Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 40. 1910 (1996); 36th Interscience conference Antimicrob Agents Chemother, September, 1996, New Orleans, Abst. F87-F102; TAK-187; 36th Interscience conference Antimicrob Agents Chemother. September, 1996, New Orleans, Abst. F74; EP 567892; ER-30346: Drugs of the Future. 21. 20 (1996).
Various compounds having thiol, sulphone, sulphonamides, N-di-substituted sulphonamides, triazoles and tetrazoles of the second asymmetric centre of fluconazole with various side chains have been covered in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,466,820; 5,371,181 and 5,371,101 assigned to Takeda. But none of them satisfies the above-described medical needs completely, either being weak in spectrum, potency, safety or having undesired pharmacokinetics.
Despite the therapeutic success of fluconazole and itraconazole, there remains a significant need for improved, broad spectrum, better tolerated, less toxic, more potent antifungal compounds with minimal potential for development of resistance among target fungi.

All compounds mentioned in the above list, as well as the compounds mentioned in formulae IA, IB, II and III with a variety of substituents were prepared using the methods described earlier depending upon whether they are mixtures of a-methylated isomers, mixtures of non a-methylated isomers or pure RR isomers.
The examples mentioned below demonstrate the general synthetic procedure as well as the specific preparation for the preferred compound. The examples are given to illustrate the details of the invention and should not be constrained to limit the scope of the present invention.
Most of the compounds were characterized using NMR, IR and were purified by chromatography. Crude products were subjected to column chromatographic purification using silica gel (100 -200 or 60-120 mesh) as stationary phase.
example 1
Preparation of 2-{2-[(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-(1 H-1,2,4-triazoM -yl)propyl]}-4-{[4-[4-(substituted/unsubstituted phenyl)-1 -piperazinyl]phenyl]}-3-(2H, 4H)-1,2,-substituted triazol-4-one.
Step 1: Preparation of 2-chloro-2\ 4'-difIuoro acetophenone.
Into the solution of 1,3-difluorpbenzene in 1,2-dicholoroethane (DCE) was added anhydrous aluminium chloride (1.2 molar equivalent of 1,3-difluorobenzene) at 25-30°C and stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0°C and chloroacetyl chloride (1.1 molar equivalent of 1,3-
40
difluorobenzene), in DCE, was then added into it over a period of 30-60 min keeping the reaction temperature below 20°C. After the addition was over, the reaction mixture was stirred at 25-30°C for 5-7 hours. The reaction mixture was then diluted with DCE and poured into dil. hydrochloric acid (5%) at 0-5°C. The mixture was then extracted with DCE. The combined organic layer was washed successively with 5% aq. sodium bicarbonate solution and water. Evaporating DCE from the organic layer under reduced pressure gave an oil which on triturating with n-Hexane gave the title compound as white crystalline material (Yield 75% of theory).
Step 2: Preparation of 2-(1H,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2',4'-difluoro acetophenone
The product obtained in Step -1 was reacted with 1,2,4-triazole (1.2 molar equivalent) in the presence of sodium bicarbonate as base and toluene as solvent under refluxing condition. After the reaction was over, the reaction mixture was poured into crushed ice and extracted with toluene. The combined organic layer was then washed with water and concentrated under reduced pressure to give brown semisolid compound which was recrystallized from ethyl acetate - hexane mixture to give light yellow solid compound which was then used as such in the next step.
Step 3: Preparation of 1-[2-(2,4-difIuorophenyl)-2,3-epoxypropyl]-1 H-1,2,4-triazole
Step 2 product was dissolved in toluene, followed by the addition of trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (TMSI), cetramide and 20% aq. sodium hydroxide solution. This mixture was then heated at 60° C for 4 hrs. After the reaction was
over, it was diluted with toluene and poured into chilled water. The organic layer was washed with water and concentrated under reduced pressure to give light brown oil which was used after column chromatographic purification (silica gel) in the next step.
Step 4: Preparation of 1-(substituted phenyl)-4-(4-nitrophenyl) piperazine.
Substituted phenyl piperazine was reacted with 4-chloronitrobenzene (1.1 molar equivalent of phenyl piperazine) in dimethylsulphoxide [DMSOJ (5 times) using anhydrous potassium carbonate (1.5 molar equivalent) at a temperature
135-140° C for 6 to 8 hrs. The reaction mixture was poured into crushed ice and the compound was isolated either as a solid or by extracting with chlorinated organic solvent. After drying under vacuum at 30-35°C for 6-8 hrs, the compound was used as such for next step.
Step 5: Preparation of 1-(substituted phenyl)-4-(4-aminophenyl)piperazine
The nitro compound was then reduced to amine by two methods:
Method 1: The compound of Step 4 was dissolved in methanol and Palladium on charcoal (wet, 10% w/w) was added under nitrogen followed by the addition of ammonium formate (5 molar equivalent). The reaction mixture was then stirred at a temperature ranging from 45 to 70 °C until the reaction went to completion. After the reaction was over, the reaction mixture was then cooled to 25-30°C and filtered. The filtrate was then concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue which was again dissolved in dichloroethane and washed with water. The organic layer on concentration gave the desired product.
42
Method 2: The compound of Step 4 was refluxed in ethyl acetate in the presence of 5.0 molar equivalent stannous chloride dihydrate for 6-8 hrs. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into 10% aq. sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was then washed with water dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired product.
Step 6: Preparation of [4-(4-(substituted/unsubstituted phenyl) -1-piperazinyl] phenyl carbamate
The amine obtained from Step 5 was dissolved in a mixture of dichloroethane (DCE) and pyridine and cooled to 5°C. A solution of phenylchloroformate (1.4 molar equivalent) in DCE was added into the solution of amine at such a rate that reaction temperature remained below 35°C. After the addition was over, reaction mixture was stirred at 25-30°C for 3-5 hours. Solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure to give brownish residue which on triturating with n-hexane gave brown solid. It was then obtained was washed with 5% aq. solution of sodium bicarbonate and water. It was then dried under vacuum at 40 °C for 3 to 5 hrs to give the corresponding carbamate.
Step 7: Preparation of N-[4-[(4-substituted phenyl) 1-piperazinyl]phenyl]hydrazine carboxamide.
The carbamate obtained in Step 6 was stirred in 1,4-dioxane followed by the addition of hydrazine hydrate (2.5 molar equivalent 98%) at room temperature. After refluxing the reaction mixture for 4 to 6 hrs, solvent was evaporated off to give solid residue which was triturated with 10% methanol in
PCT/IBO1/00300
diethyl ether, filtered the separated solid and dried under vacuum at 35 -4Q°C for 4 to 6 hrs to give corresponding semicarbazide.
Step 8: 4-(4-Substituted phenyl)-1-piperazin]phenyl-3H-1,2,4~triazol-3-ones.
The semicarbazide so obtained was dissolved in dry dimethyiformamide (DMF) followed by the addition of formamidine acetate (4.5 molar equivalent). After heating at 120 - 130°C for 3 to 5 hrs, reaction mixture was poured into chilled saturated aq. solution of sodium bicarbonate with stirring. Solid so obtained was filtered, washed with water and dried under vacuum at 40°C for 7 hrs. to give corresponding triazolone.
Step 9: Preparation of 2-[(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-(1 H-1,2,4-triazoM-yl)-propyl]-4-[4-[4-substitutedphenyl-1-piperazinyl]phenyl]-3-(2H,4H)-1,2,3-substituted triazol-4-one.
Hexane washed sodium hydride (0.015 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added into a stirred solution of compound obtained from Step -8 (0.4g, 1.12 mmol) in dimethyl formamide (DMF) (10 ml) maintaining nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring at 25-30°C, a solution of the compound obtained from Step 3 (1.68mmol) in DMF was added drop-wise into the reaction mixture at 40°C, temperature was raised to
80°C and maintained at this temperature for about 4 hr. After the reaction was over, reaction mixture was cooled to 35-40°C, poured it into chilled water (50 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3x 100ml). The combined organic layer was washed with water (4x50ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated under vacuum to give'an oily residue (0.3 gm). The oil was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 100-200 mesh) using hexane-ethyl acetate
(1:1) followed by ethyl acetate or by crystallisation from suitable solvent to give the required compound.

The in vitro evaluation of the antifungal activity of the compounds can be performed by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) which is the concentration of the test compound in Rosewell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 liquid medium buffered with (3-[Morpholino]propanesulphonic acid) MOPS to pH7. at which there is significant inhibition of the particular fungi In practice the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standard (NCCLS) M27A document for Candida and Cryptococcus and M38P for Aspergillus was used to determine the MIC against yeast and filamentous fungi with suitable modifications for dermatophytes. Two quality control strains were included each time the MIC were determined and readings recorded only when the QC results fell into the t
acceptable range. After MIC results had been recorded, 100 \i\ from each of the well showing no growth was spread over Sabouraud Dextrose Aavar (SPA*) to determine the minimum fungicidal concentration.
The in vivo evaluation of the compound can be carried out at a series of dose levels by oral or I.V. injection to mice which are inoculated I.V. with the minimum lethal dose of Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans or Aspergillus fumigatus by the tail vein. Activity is based on the survival of a treated group of mice after the death of an untreated group of mice. For Aspergillus and Cryptococcus infections target organs were cultured after treatment to document the number of mice cured of the infection for further assessment of activity.
For human use, the antifungal compounds of the formula and their salts 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, they can be administered orally in the form of tablets containing such excipients as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules either alone or in admixture with excipients, or in the form of elixirs, solutions or suspensions containing flavouring or colouring agents. They can be injected parenterally, for example, intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. For parenteral administration, they are 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 with blood.
The solubility of a compound of the Formulae IA, IB, II and III in an aqueous medium may be improved by complexation with a hydroxyalkyl derivative of a cyclodextrin in the preparation of an appropriate pharmaceutical composition.
For oral and parenteral administration to human patients, the daily dosage level of the antifungal compounds of the Formulae IA, IB, II and III and their salts will be from 0.01 to 20 mg/kg (in single or divided doses) when administered by either the oral or parenteral routes. Thus tablets or capsules of the compound will contain from 5 mg to 0.5 gm of active compound for administration one, 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 it will vary with 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 required and such are within the scope of this invention.

WO 01/66551 PCT/IB01/00300
Alternatively, the antifungal compound or Formulae IA, IB, II and III 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, they can be incorporated into a cream consisting of an aqueous 5 emulsion of polyethylene glycols or liquid paraffin, or they 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.
Cryptococcosis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among AIDS 10 patients. In many patients Cryptococcosis is the first indication of AIDS. The incidences of life-threatening cryptococcal infection among patients with AIDS has been estimated to vary from 10-30 %. During initial therapy, 10-20 % of these patients die and 30 - 60 % patients succumb within 12 months (Powderly WG: Cryptococcus meningitis and AIDS Clin. Infect. Dis. 1993; 17: 837 - 842).
Amphotericin B has changed disseminated cryptococcosis from uniformly fatal infection to curable infection, but since Amphotericin B penetrates the central nervous system poorly, intraventricular injection may have to be administered for successful management of severe cases of Cryptococcal meningitis. Fluconazole has excellent pharmacokinetics in CSF and performs 20 equally well in patients with Cryptococcal meningitis. However, there is a trend towards earlier deaths and longer period before sterilisation of the CSF (NIAID [National Institute of Allergy and Infection Disease] Mycoses study group and AIDS clinical trials group: comparison of Amphotericin B and Fluconazole in the
75
treatment of acute AIDS associated Cryptococcus meningitis (N Engl J Med 1992; 326; 83 - 89).
Invasive aspergillosis has become a leading cause of death, mainly among patients suffering from acute leukaemia or after allogenic bone marrow transfusion and after cytotoxic treatment of these conditions. It also occurs in patients with conditions such as AIDS and chronic granulomatous disease. At present, only Amphotericin B and Itraconazole are available for treatment of aspergillosis. In spite of their activity in vitro, the effect of these drugs in vivo against Aspergillus fumigatus remains low and as a consequence mortality from invasive aspergillosis remains high.
In vitro activity:
Compounds of this invention have potent in vitro activity against a wide range of fungal pathogens tested. They are active against all species of Candida, Histoplasma capsulatum, Cryptococcus neoformans, dermatophytes, Aspergillus fumigatus and A. flavus. The action on many of these strains, especially against Cryptococcus and Aspergillus is fungicidal in vitro.
