Description
4' -Deoxy-2' -halo-Anthracycline
Antibiotics, Methods for Their Use, and
Intermediates and Methods for Synthesis Thereof
The present invention relates to anthracycline antibiotics, the synthesis of such compounds, and methods of using such compounds and formulations thereof in antitumor therapy.
Anthracycline antibiotics such as doxorubicin and daunorubicin are known to have antineoplastic activity. However, these compounds and many of their derivatives have serious side effects, such as cardiotoxicity, which severely restrict the dosage and the frequency with which they can be administered, and thus limit their overall effectiveness. There is a long standing need for analogs which will have higher activity and lower toxicity, as well as a broader spectrum of antitumor activity, than the previously known compounds. Research in the area of anthracyclines has often encountered difficulty in synthesizing new compounds which might have desirable activity. Therefore, there is also a longstanding need for new synthetic schemes and chemical intermediates which will aid in the preparation of potential antitumor agents.
The present invention includes compounds which have the formula
R is selected from the group consisting of CH3 and CH2OH, while R2 is selected from the group consisting of H and acyl groups having the formula -COR3. R3 is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic
hydrocarbons having 1-18 carbons. X is selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
The present invention also concerns compositions which include a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound in accordance with the above formula and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
These antibiotic compounds and compositions have been found to have antitumor activity, and are believed to be useful in methods of inhibiting neoplastic cell growth in a host. Such methods involve administering to the host a effective amount of a compound or composition in
accordance with the present invention. Particular compounds in accordance with the present invention have been shown to have high activity and low toxicity. The present invention also concerns synthetic method and chemical intermediates which are useful in the
preparation of antibiotic compounds in accordance with the present invention. In one embodiment, a useful
intermediate is a 6-deoxy-glycal having at the C-3
position a substituent having the formula OZ1. Z1 is selected from the group consisting of H, acyl having the formula -COR3 and silyl having the formula -Si(R4)2R5. R3 is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons having 1-18 carbons. For example,
R3 can suitably be -(CH2)nCH3 where n is 0-17. R4 is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons having 1-10 carbons. R5 is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons having 1-18 carbons, preferably 1-12 carbons. Intermediates in accordance with the present
invention can be prepared by a method which includes the steps of :
(a) blocking the hydroxyl group at the C-3 position of a 6-deoxy-glycal selected from the group consisting of L-rhamnal and L-fucal, so that the C-3 substituent will be
OSi(R4)2R5, where R4 is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons having 1-10 carbons and where
R5 is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons having
1-18 carbons; (b) derivatizing the product of step (a) at the
hydroxyl group at the C-4 position so that the C-4 substituent will be -OCSR6, where R6 is any group that will not prevent deoxygenation at the C-4 position;
(c) deoxygenating the product of step (b) at the C-4 position by reacting it with tributyltin hydride. One synthetic method of the present invention for preparing a 4'-deoxy-2-halo anthracycline includes the steps of:
(a) coupling an anthracyclinone with a 3-O-acetyl4-deoxy-glycal, and
(b) reacting the product of step (a) with a base to remove the 3'-O-acetyl group. Suitable glycals include 3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-L-rhamnal and 3-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-4-deoxy-L-rhamnal. Suitable bases include methoxide anions.
One synthetic method of the present invention for preparing a 4'-deoxy-2'-halo anthracycline includes the steps of:
(a) coupling a 14-blocked anthracyclinone with a 3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-L-rhamnal in the presence of a N-halosuccinimide,
(b) reacting the product of step (a) with a base to remove the 3'-O-acetyl group, and (c) deblocking the anthracycline at the C-14 position.
"14-blocked anthracyclinone" means an anthracyclinon moiety which has been substituted at the C-14 position with a group which will be stable while the 3'-acetyl group is removed and then can be unblocked in a good
yield. The 14-blocked anthracyclinone can suitably be a 14-O-silylated adriamycinone.
Alternatively, step (a) can be accomplished by coupling a 14-blocked anthracyclinone with a 1,2-dihalo-3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-L-hexopyranosyl in the presence of a salt of a heavy metal selected from the group consisting of Hg, Ag, and Cd. The 1,2-dihalogenated substrate can be provided by reacting a 3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-L-glycal with an appropriate halogen.
Another synthetic method in accordance with the present invention includes the steps of (a) coupling a 14-O-silylated anthracyclinone with a 3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-L-glycal in the presence of Niodosuccinimide,
(b) reacting the product of step (a) with a
methoxide anion to remove the 3'-O-acetyl group, and
(c) reacting the product of step (b) with a fluoride anion to remove the silyl group. Another synthetic method for preparing a 4'-deoxy-2'-halo anthracycline compound in accordance with the present invention includes the steps of (a) reacting daunomycinone with 3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-L-rhamnal, and (b) reacting the product of step (a) with a base to remove the 3'-O-acetyl group. Step (a) is preferably carried out by reacting daunomycinone with 3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-L-rhamnal in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide.
The intermediates and synthetic methods described and claimed in this patent, which have been found to give high yield, are useful for synthesizing the anthracyclinn
compounds described above, as well as for synthesis of other previously unaccessible 4'-deoxy-3'-hydroxy antibiotics which are substituted at C-2'. Figures 1, 2, and 3 show synthetic schemes for preparation of compounds in accordance with the present invention.
Specific anthracyclines in accordance with the present invention include the following two examples:

solution of compound 11 (250 mg, 0.473 mmol) and 3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-L-rhamnal (compound 6, 110 mg, 0.71 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (4.0 ml) and oxolane (2.0 ml) at 0°C was added with stirring N-iodosuccinimide (160 mg, 0.71 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at 0°C and after 12 hours at 25°C an additional 0.5 equivalent (125 mg, 0.24 mmol) of 3-O-acetyl-4-deoxy-Lrhamnal (compound 6) and 0.5 equivalent (80 mg, 0.35 mmol) of N-iodosuccinimide were added, and the mixture was stirred until disappearance of the substrate (24 hours) on TLC (toluene-acetone, 8:1). A work-up similar to that described above for compound 7 gave, after column
chromatography (toluene-acetone 40:1), as a major product, compound 12 with a yield of 330 mg (86%). Further
purification of compound 12 by crystallization afforded 285 mg of red crystals (74% ; mp 145-150°C).

14-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-7-O- ( 2-iodo-2 , 4.6-trideoxy-α-L-lvxo-hexopyranosyl ) adriamycinone ( compound 13)
To a solution of compound 12 (200 mg, 0.246 mmol) in methanol (10.0 ml) was added with stirring 0.5M sodium methoxide in methanol (1.5 ml). After 90 minutes, the reaction was terminated by adding dry ice. The mixture was then diluted with dichloromethane (100 ml) and washed with water (50 ml x 3), dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated (170 mg, 89.6%). TLC showed one spot having Rf 0.25 (toluene-acetone. 8:1). The product was then crystallized from dichloromethane and hexane to give analytically pure compound 13; yield 150 mg (79%).
7-O-(2-Iodo-2,4,6-trideoxy-α-L-lyxo-hexopyranosyl) adriamycinone (compound 14) To a solution of compound 13 (110 mg, 0.143 mmol) in oxolane (10 ml), dichloromethane (4 ml), and pyridine (0.07 ml), was added with stirring tetrabutylammonium fluoride (0.25 ml of a IM solution in oxolane). After completion of the reaction (TLC, toluene-acetone, 4:1) in 20 minutes, the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (150 ml) and washed with 0.1N HCl(50 ml), 5% aqueous NaHCO3 (50 ml) and water (50 ml x 3). The organic layer was dried (sodium sulfate) and the residue after
evaporation was purified by dissolving in oxolanedichloromethane and precipitating by addition of ethyl ether. The solid was washed with ether and dried to afford pure compound 14; yield 62 mg (70%); mp 155-160°C.
