Definitions
- This invention is directed to xylosides and their use as primers of heparan sulfate biosynthesis.
- Glycosaminoglycans are alternating polymers of hexosamine and alduronic acid which are found in sulfated forms.
- the members of the GAG family are classified by the nature of the hexosamine/alduronic repeating units.
- the alduronic acid is primarily D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) and the hexosamine is acetylated 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-galactose (GalNAc).
- the hexosamine is primary acetylated and sulfated glucosamine (GlcNAc and GlcNS) and the alduronic acid is mostly L-iduronic acid (IdoA) in heparin and mostly D-glucuronic acid in heparan sulfate.
- IdoA L-iduronic acid
- heparan sulfate is convertible to heparin by conversion of the GlcA residues to IdoA residues, which involves a change in chirality at the 5 position of the uronic acid residue.
- GAGs are antiproliferative with respect to smooth muscle cells. Elevated levels of these GAGs are therefore helpful in vivo in the context of preventing thrombosis and restenosis, as well as in other disorders that involve the proliferation of smooth muscle cells.
- the GAGs are naturally synthesized on protein substrates, to which a ß-D-xylose unit has been attached (through an acetal linkage) via a hydroxy-containing side chain of an amino acid (usually serine).
- a ß-D-xylose unit has been attached (through an acetal linkage) via a hydroxy-containing side chain of an amino acid (usually serine).
- ß-D-xylosides Prior to work done in the laboratory of the present inventors in 1991, the ß-D-xylosides previously used stimulated chondroitin sulfate (dermatan) synthesis while only weakly stimulating the more desirable heparan sulfate or heparin synthesis. The xylosides also tended to be poor primers even in those cells that only produce heparin or heparan sulfate. As reported in 1991
- estradiol-ß-D-xyloside was found to be an efficient primer for heparan sulfate biosynthesis. However, this selectivity was surprising, and no basis existed for predicting structures other than estrogens that would also favor heparan sulfate
- the present invention provides compounds that are ß-D-xylosides of fused bicyclo aromatic molecules.
- the compounds of the invention thus have a first aromatic ring linked to xylose via a hydroxyl, thio, hydrocarbon, or amino substituent on the ring to form a ß-D-xyloside (or equivalent) linkage.
- the fused bicyclo aromatic molecule also comprises a second aromatic ring fused to the first ring. Typical organic substituents can be present on the aromatic ring system.
- fused bicyclo aromatic ß-D-xylosides when used as primers of heparan sulfate biosynthesis in cultured animal cells, produce a significant amount of heparan sulfate compared to closely related molecules that do not contain a fused bicyclo aromatic moiety.
- Figures 1-5 are graphs showing total 35 SO 4 - labelled glycosaminoglycans, heparan sulfate, and
- Figure 6 is a graph showing reduction of restenosis in experimental animals in the presence of napthylxyloside, a primer of the invention, relative to use of carboxymethyl-cellulose, a control compound.
- fused bicyclo aromatic molecules coupled to xylose to form a ß-D-xyloside function as primers for heparan sulfate biosynthesis.
- estradiol-ß-D-xyloside produced a satisfactory amount of heparan sulfate
- estradiol has a number of physiological effects in animal cells and thus is not an ideal choice for inducing heparan sulfate biosynthesis either in vivo or even in cell culture.
- the inventors therefore investigated a number of different compounds, some of which are shown in Scheme 2. These compounds included monocyclic and bicyclic aglycone moieties attached to the xylose molecule, with both aromatic and non-aromatic ring systems being present. The best producers (in percentage) of heparan sulfate were xylosides formed from fused aromatic bicyclo molecules.
- FIG. 1-5 show a series of bicyclo aromatic aglycone moieties used to form xylosides and the different percentages of heparan sulfate relative to chondroitin sulfate produced at different dose levels in a standard cell culture system that is described in more detail in the following examples.
- Compounds of the invention comprise fused bicyclo aromatic molecules in which a first aromatic ring is linked to xylose via a hydroxyl, thio, hydrocarbon, or amino substituent to form a ß-D-xyloside linkage or such a linkage in which the linking oxygen atom has been replaced with a carbon, sulfur, or nitrogen atom, with a second aromatic ring being fused to the first ring.
- both the first and second rings are 5- or 6-membered rings.
- substitutions can be present on the xylose moiety.
- the ring oxygen can be replaced by sulfur (-S-), nitrogen (-NH-), or carbon (-CH 2 -).
- the 2-hydroxyl can be methylated if desired.
- Typical organic substituents can be present on the aromatic rings.
- the first or second ring can be further substituted with a covalently
- hydrolysis reactions that are compatible with physiological systems (e.g., ionization of acidic and basic groups or hydrolysis of esters).
- physiological systems e.g., ionization of acidic and basic groups or hydrolysis of esters.
- substituents there is no particular limit on the number of substituents present, but 0, 1, 2, or 3 substituents are preferred, 0 or 1 being more preferred.
- the substituents can be on either of the aromatic rings but are preferred to be on the ring that does not contain the linkage to the xylose group. Examples of typical substituents include hydroxyl, carboxyl, ester, ether, amino, alkyl amino, nitro, cyano, halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, and haloalkoxyl substituents.
- Substituents can be linear, branched, or cyclic and can be saturated or unsaturated. Preferred are small
- substituents such as those containing a single carbon atom (or no carbon atoms) along with other atoms as mentioned above, such as hydroxyl, carboxyl,
- methoxycarbonyl carboxymethyl, methoxyl, amino, nitro, cyano, methylamino, methyl, and C-halogenated derivatives thereof.
- a preferred compound is one having only
- heterocyclic rings can be presents.
- the heterocyclic ring is selected from the group consisting of furan, pyrrole, thiophene, pyrazole, triazole, isoxazole, thiazole, isothiazole, pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, and triazine.
- This heterocyclic ring is typically the second of the two aromatic rings, namely that ring which is not directly attached to the xylose moiety, but the first ring (or both rings) can be heterocyclic.
- the first and second rings preferably form a molecule selected from the group consisting of naphthalene, benzofuran, isobenzofuran, benzothiofuran, isobenzothiofuran, indole, benzpyrazole, quinoline, isoquinoline, cinnoline, quinazole,
- a preferred group of compounds include those in which the compound ring system comprises a formula

- a "substituent” is a moiety on an organic molecule that has replaced a hydrogen or other atom present in the named base molecule (e.g., a methyl substituent on one of the aromatic rings of naphthalene replaces one of the hydrogens present in a molecule of naphthalene).
- a "ß-D-xyloside” linkage preferably refers to a normal acetal linkage formed between D-xylose and an alcohol. However, for the sake of simplicity of
- any linkage that joins an aglycone via a hydroxyl, thio, hydrocarbon, or amino substituent to xylose at C-1 is considered to be a ß-D-xyloside linkage as this term is used at its broadest.
- Such compounds are in fact analogs of xylosides in which the normal linkage of the aldehyde carbon of xylose to an alcohol oxygen of the aglycone is replaced by a linkage to a carbon, nitrogen, or sulfur of the aglycone (i.e., -O- is replaced by -CH 2 -, -NH-, or -S-).

- the concentration will be at least 1 ⁇ M, with higher concentrations easily around 10 to 100 ⁇ M producing higher total concentrations of GAG chains.
- Up to 1,000 ⁇ M of the xyloside have been found to be effective in some cases, although increasing dosages reduce the total amount of heparan sulfate produced in at least some cases.
- increasing amounts of the xyloside up to 1,000 ⁇ M, the highest dosage tested continued to increase both the total amount of heparan sulfate and the relative percentage of heparan sulfate in the total GAG content.
- Heparan sulfate is isolated from the reaction mixture using standard techniques, which are set forth in the references cited above and described further in the examples that follow.
- Compounds of the invention can also be used in vivo in contexts where the antiproliferative or antithrombosis activity of heparan sulfate is needed. Examples include prevention or reduction of thrombosis and/or restenosis in patients with cardiovascular
- An example is the use of compounds of the invention to prevent restenosis in patients who have undergone angioplasty. Smooth muscle cell proliferation is a problem in angioplasty patients, and heparan sulfate has been shown to inhibit smooth muscle cell

Excipients such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatine, hydroxy saline, acacia, polyethylene glycol, mannitol, sodium chloride, or sodium citrate, can be included in a pharmaceutical composition of the invention. Alternatively, compounds of the invention can encapsulated, tableted, or prepared in an emulsion or syrup for oral administration.
- Solid or liquid carriers can be added to enhance or stabilize the composition or to facilitate preparation of the composition.
- Solid carriers include starch, lactose, calcium sulfate dihydrate, terra alba, magnesium stearate, or stearic acid, talk, pectin, acacia, agar, or gelatin.
- Liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, saline, and water.

- the ß-D-xylosides can also be purified by fractional crystallization or by flash chromatography on silicic acid (using ethyl acetate hexanes mixtures) as known in the art.
- Orthoester side-products are hydrolysed by dissolving the syrup in 100ml of 5mM sulfuric acid in acetone: water 9:1 v/v, allowing it to stand for 30 minutes at room temperature, and then neutralizing with pyridine until a slight cloudiness appears. The mixture is again concentrated to a syrup. Deacetylation is achieved as in Example 1.

- Figures 1-5 were added. The cells were incubated for 3 hours, and radioactive GAGs were isolated and identified, as shown in the Figures. In all cases, the proportion of heparan sulfate increased as the concentration of primer was increased. Recent experiments show that under these conditions the glycosaminoglycan chains are under- sulfated. However, inclusion of sulfate in the labeling medium does not change the order of efficacy of the various compounds, but decreases the apparent amount of heparan sulfate relative to chondroitin sulfate. Direct measurements of mass have not been made. EXAMPLE 5

- the catheter was positioned in the artery, advanced to the aortic arch, then inflated and withdrawn three times to produce a consistent 3-cm segment of endothelial
- the animals were then injected daily for 14 days with either CMC or CMC with 2-naphthyl-ß-D-xyloside.
- CMC CMC
- 2-naphthyl-ß-D-xyloside treated animals were perfused with 2% glutaraldehyde, and the arteries were removed and immersed in 10% formalin in preparation for histologic examination. They were embedded and stained using standard histological
