DESCRIPTION
NOVEL MYCALAMΓDES WITH ANTΓTUMOR AND ANTΓVΓRAL ACTIVΓΓΎ
Background of the Invention Considerable research and resources have been devoted to oncology and antitumor measures including chemotherapy. Tumors inflict mammals and man with a variety of disorders and conditions including various forms of cancer and resultant cancerous cachexia, which term refers to the symptomatic discomfort that accompanies the infliction of a mammal with a tumor.
Such symptoms include weakened condition of the inflicted mammal as evidenced by weight loss, etc. The seriousness of cancer is well known since cancer is a major cause of death in man. While certain methods and chemical compositions have been developed which aid in inhibiting, remitting, or controlling the growth of tumors, new methods and antitumor chemical compositions are needed.
Viral diseases also inflict man, plants, insects and animals. The prevention and control of viral diseases has important health and economic implications. Viral diseases contribute to inflictions in humans including the common cold, herpes, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and cancer, so the importance of their control is obvious. Also important is the control of viral diseases in animals for economic and other reasons, e.g., the ability of such animals to become virus reservoirs or carriers which facilitate the spreading of viral diseases to humans. Viral plant diseases have been known to have a disruptive effect on the cultivation of fruit trees, tobacco, and various vegetables. Insect viral diseases are also of interest because of the insects' ability to transfer viral diseases to humans. The prevention and control of viral diseases is thus of prime importance to man, and considerable research has been devoted to antiviral measures. Certain methods and chemical compositions have been developed which aid in inhibiting, controlling, or destroying viruses, but additional methods and antiviral compositions are needed.
It has been found that some natural products and organisms are potential sources for chemical molecules having useful biological activity of great diversity. Marine life has been the source for the discovery of compounds having varied biological activities. Some of the United States patents which have issued for such inventions are as follows: U.S. Patent No. 4,548,814 for didemnins, having antiviral activity, were isolated from a marine tunicate; U.S. Patent No. 4,729,996 discloses compounds, having antitumor properties, that were isolated from marine sponges Teichaxinella morchella and Ptilocaulis walpersi; U.S. Patent No. 4,808,590 discloses compounds, having antiviral, antitumor, and antifungal properties, isolated from the marine sponge Theonella sp.; and U.S. Patent No. 4,737,510 discloses compounds, having antiviral and antibacterial properties, isolated from the Caribbean sponge Aeelas coniferin. Clearly, marine sponges have proved to be a source of biological compounds, and a number of publications have issued disclosing organic compounds derived from marine sponges, including Scheuer, PJ. (ed.) Marine Natural Products. Chemical and Biological Perspectives. Academic Press, New York, 1978- 1983, Vol. I-V; Faulkner, DJ., (1984) Natural Products Reports 1:551-598; Natural Products
Reports (1986) 3:1-33; Natural Products Reports (1987) 4:539-576; Natural Products Report (1988) 5:613-663; J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1985) 107:4796-4798.
It has now been found that certain compounds derived from extracts of marine sponge of the genus Mycale. family Mvcalidae. and order Poecilosclerida. possess useful biological activity. United States Patent No. 4,868,204 describes some of these compounds.
The present invention, utilizing sponges as a source material and supplemented by novel synthetic production methods, has provided the art with new biologically active compounds and new pharmaceutical compositions useful as antitumor and antiviral agents.
Other advantages and further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed descriptions given herein; it should be understood, however, that the detailed descriptions, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent from such descriptions.
Brief Summary of the Invention
The invention provides new mycalamide compounds having advantageous biological activities. Also provided are compositions containing such compounds, as well as methods for the preparation and use of the compounds and compositions.
The full scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter; it should be understood, however, that the detailed description, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, is given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The invention provides a variety of processes for the production of compounds of the invention. A preferred method of producing the new compounds comprises the steps of collecting marine sponges of the genus Mycale. family Mvcalidae. and order Poecilosclerida. contacting such sponges with a selected organic solvent system to obtain an extract, fractionating the extract, and isolating mycalamide compounds from the fractionated extract. These compounds can serve as the starting materials for the preparation of many of the compounds described herein. In further preferred methods of the invention, some of the new mycalamide compounds are made by hydrogenation in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst. Also, ion-exchange, hydrolysis, alkylation, acetylation, and other known synthesis type reactions may be used pursuant to known procedures to add, remove, or modify various groups in the original compounds to produce other compounds.
As a result of the discovery of the new compounds, skilled chemists will be able to use known procedures to synthesize these compounds from available stock substances. The compounds of the subject invention are especially important by virtue of the discovery that viruses and tumors can be inhibited by contact with an effective amount of the new compounds.
Detailed Description of the Invention The subject invention pertains to novel chemical compounds isolated from marine sponges, and various derivatives and analogs of these compounds. In order to isolate the new compounds by extraction from marine sponges, suitable organic solvent systems for extraction can be selected from methanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, diethyl ether, t-butyl methyl ether, ethanol, and isopropanol. Mixtures of two or more of such solvents in various ratios and combinations are advantageous.
Compounds of the invention can be synthesized and/or isolated by various fractionation and chromatographic techniques from the extracts obtained as disclosed. Preferred isolation procedures include various chromatography techniques, such as countercurrent chromatography, with suitable columns including multi-layer planetary coil columns. A variety of solvents are available for use as single or mixed eluents, such as tetrahydrofuran, methanol, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, n-propanol, n-butanol, water, and equivalent solvents. Further purifications using such procedures may also be carried out on the recovered extractions. Preferred isolation techniques for further purifications include chromatographic operations such as high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with suitable columns and suitable solvents. The novel compounds have been shown to possess antitumor and antiviral activity. Thus, the subject invention pertains to the compounds themselves, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds. Also disclosed and claimed are methods for administering the novel compositions. Various derivatives of these compounds can be produced by known procedures. A more complete understanding of the invention can be obtained by reference to preferred embodiments of the invention which are illustrated by the following specific examples of compounds, compositions, and methods of the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the examples involve use of materials and reagents that are commercially available from known sources, e.g., chemical supply houses, so no details are given respecting them. As will be seen in some of the examples below, a new class of compounds having the following structural formula has been identified:
Figure imgf000006_0001
wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and are hydrogen or lower alkyl, particularly C1-C5 alkyl; R3"6 are the same or different and are hydrogen, lower alkyl, acyl, lower alkyl silyl, Bn, or Bz; X is =CH2, -CH3, or -0-CH2; and Y is lower alkyl, Bn, or Bz.

Example 1
The compound known as mycalamide A has the following formula:
Figure imgf000006_0002
Mycalamide A is described in United States Patent No.4,868,204. A New Zealand marine sponge of the genus Mycale (family Mvcalidae. order Poecilosclerida) was collected from the channel at Aquarium Point, Otago Harbour, New Zealand. Two hundred grams of frozen sponge were extracted by blending with 3:1 mefhanohtoluene and filtering off the solid. On removing the solvents, the combined extracts from three such steps yielded a brown gum (11.04 g) with antiviral properties. Reverse phase flash chromatography (Blunt et al. [1987] J. Natl. Prod. 50:290) gave bioactive fractions on eluting with 1:1, 3:1, and 9:1 mixtures of H20:methanol. These were combined to give a brown oil (307 mg). A subsample of this material (140 mg) was applied to a column of Fractogel PGM 2000 (120 g Fractogel, column 43 cm x 2 cm). Eluting with 1:4 H20:methanol (0.5 ml/min) gave bioactive fraαions at around 1.5 void volumes, which were combined (brown oil, 50 mg). Silica gel column chromatography (DAVISIL, 35-60 /.m, 5g) starting with CH2C12, then increasing amount of methanol, gave 1.7 mg of mycalamide A in the most bioactive fraction, eluted with 1:9 methanol:CH2Cl2.

7-epimycalamide A cis-oxazolidinone can be prepared as follows: Mycalamide A (7 mg) was stirred in a solution of 2 M NaOH in 50% MeOH-%0 (03 ml) at 55°C for 10 hours. The solution was concentrated (0.1 ml) and then loaded onto a C18 pipette column (100 mg). The column was flushed with %0 (8 ml), then a fraction obtained by elution with MeOH (5 ml) was collected and the solvent removed (6 mg). Analytical reverse phase HPLC (45% %0 in MeOH) gave four fractions (1.4 mg, 1.8 mg, 0.7 mg, 0.8 mg). PMR and NOE's showed that the first two were cis and trans isomers respectively at C7-C10 of mycalamide A oxazolidinone, but the second two were at least 70% pure trans and cis isomers, respectively, of 7-epimycalamide A oxazolidinone, with the major impurity being unreacted mycalamide A by PMR and HRFABMS, an oil.

As disclosed herein they are also useful prophylactically and therapeutically for treating viral infections in animals and humans. The administration of the mycalamide compounds of the invention is useful for treating viral infections and as an antitumor agent. Thus, pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of the invention as active ingredients are useful in prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of humans or other mammals infected with or likely to be infected with tumors and virus. The dosage administered will be dependent upon the identity of the tumor or virus infection; the type of host involved; its age, health, weight, kind of concurrent treatment, if any; frequency of treatment; therapeutic ratio and like considerations. Advantageously, dosage levels of the administered active ingredients can be, for examples, dermal, 1 to about 500 mg kg; orally, 0.01 to 200 mg/kg; intranasal 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg; and aerosol 0.01 to about 50 mg kg of animal body weight.
Expressed in terms of concentration, the active ingredient of the invention can be present in the new compositions for localized use dermaUy, intranasally, bronchially, intramuscularly, intravaginally, intravenously, or orally in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 50% w/w of the composition, and especially from about 0.1 to about 30% w/w of the composition. The compositions of the invention are advantageously used in a variety of forms, e.g., tablets, ointments, capsules, pills, powders, aerosols, granules, and oral solutions or suspensions and the like containing the indicated suitable quantities of the active ingredient. Such compositions are referred to herein and in the accompanying claims generically as "pharmaceutical compositions." Typically, they can be in unit dosage form, namely, in physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human or animal subjects, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable other ingredients, e.g., diluent or carrier.
Where the pharmaceutical compositions are aerosols, the active ingredients can be packaged in pressurized aerosol containers with a propellant, e.g., carbon dioxide, nitrogen, propane, etc. with the usual adjuvants such as cosolvents, wetting agents, etc.
Where the pharmaceutical compositions are ointments, the active ingredient can be mixed with a diluent vehicle such as cocoa butter, viscous polyethylene glycols, hydrogenated oils, and such mixtures can be emulsified if desired. In accordance with the invention, pharmaceutical compositions comprise, as an active ingredient, an effective amount of one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient(s). Examples of such ingredients for use in the compositions include ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, glycerol, silica, alumina, starch, calcium carbonate, talc, flour, and equivalent non-toxic carriers and diluents.
