Abstract

Description

NEW TRIAZOLES AS THERAPEUTIC AGENTS FOR FUNGAL INFECTIONS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the processes for the preparation of triazole compounds of formula I, i.e. 2-aryl-3-(4-substituted piperazin-1-yl)- 1-(1 H-1 ,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butan-2-ols, and their use in treating and or preventing the fungal infections in mammals preferably in humans.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Recently the incidence of serious fungal infection has become very prominent in patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, organ transplants and patients with AIDS. Most of these infections are caused by opportunistic pathogens like Candida spp., Aspergillus spp., Pneumocystis carnii and Cryptococcus neoformans. The antifungal agents available in the market suffer with draw backs such as, toxicity, narrow spectrum of activity, 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 trend for the steady increase of the populations of these patients, demands for new antifungal agents with broad spectrum of activity and good pharmacokinetic properties have increased.
Within the available drugs to treat fungal infections, the azole class appears to be more promising. This class of compounds inhibit the biosynthesis of ergosterol in fungi, which is the main constituent of fungal cell membrane. Fluconazole and itraconazole are routinely used for maintenance of fungal infections. Although fluconazole is highly bioavailable, it is not active against filamentous fungi and emergence of fungal resistance has been reported recently (Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 1995, 39, 1-8). Itraconazole is active against filamentous fungi, but it shows inconsistent results, maybe due to its high protein binding properties and less bioavailability. During the last few years, several research groups have been actively searching for new azoles with optimum pharmacokinetic properties. As a result, a number of candidate azoles have emerged, and some of them are undergoing preclinical and clinical evaluation. Some of the candidate azoles are disclosed in the following publications:

In the present invention, we report new triazoles with broad spectrum anti-fungal activity. The triazoles are particularly effective against systemic and lung invasive fungal infections.

Certain compounds of formula I were prepared from a common intermediate, which forms Example 2 of this invention as described in Scheme 3. Example 2 was prepared from epoxide IV by two synthetic routes as depicted in Scheme 2. In the first route, a 1 :1 molar ratio of epoxide and ethyl piperazine-1-carboxylate were reacted in the presence of potassium carbonate or lithium perchlorate in a suitable solvent. The obtained ester was hydrolysed with strong base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide to give piperazinyl compound 2. In this reaction the resulting N- carboxylic acid undergoes in-situ decarboxylation to give the piperazino compound 2. In an alternate route, the piperazino compound was obtained in a single step from the reaction of epoxide IV with piperazine. In a typical procedure, the epoxide and excess piperazine were reacted in the presence of lithium perchlorate in a suitable solvent and at a desired temperature.
Certain compound of formula I wherein X is CO, S02, CS, or -N=N- were prepared as described in Scheme 3.

The reaction was carried out in an inert solvent at -20 °C to 80 °C. The most preferred solvents were dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran and acetonitrile. Most preferably the reaction was carried out at 0-25 °C. Certain compounds of formula I wherein X is S02 were prepared from the reaction of 2 and R7-S02-Cl. In these reactions, R7 is as described above. Certain compounds of formula I wherein X is CO or CS and R7 is OR were prepared from the reaction of piperazinyl compound 2 and isocyanates and isothiocyanates. In a typical reaction, a 1:1 molar ratio of compound and isocyanate or isothiocyanate were reacted in a suitable solvent at -15 to 45 °C. The preferred solvents were acetonitrile, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane. The preferred temperature was 0 to 25 °C.

For the preparation of these acid addition salts, acids were selected from hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, methanesulphonic acid or p-toluenesulphonic acid.

The above compounds have shown impressive in vivo efficacy against mice systemic candidiosis, systemic aspergillosis and lung invasive aspergillosis. When the compounds of the present invention or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are used for treatment or prophylaxis of fungal infections in mammals including humans, they can be administered alone, but generally it is more preferred to administer the compounds in a pharmaceutical formulation. This formulation varies with intended route of administration. For example the compounds can be administered orally in the form of tablets, coated tablets, capsules, suspensions, solutions and the like. These oral preparations which contain the present compounds are prepared with excipients, binders, coloring agents, flavors, etc. which can be formulated in a manner known in the art. The present compounds can be injected parenterally, for example intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. These injections are sterile aqueous solutions which contain the antifungal agent with other substances, such as salts, glucose or an isotonic agent, and can be formulated in a conventional manner. The amount of the present compounds incorporated into the pharmaceutical composition varies depending on the physical and chemical properties of the drug, dosage and route of administration. Preferably the oral formulations are prepared with 1 to 25% (w/w) antifungal agent and the injection formulation is prepared with 0.1 to 5% (w/w) of antifungal agent. Alternatively, the antifungal agents also can be administered in the form of a suppository or pessary, or they may be applied topically in the form of lotion, solution, ointment, cream or dusting powder. Suppositories and ointments which contain 1-10% of active ingredient with a base, stabilizer or surfactant can be prepared in a conventional manner.
The dosage of the compound of formula I or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be suitably determined depending on the indivdual cases, taking symptoms, age, sex, disease status, patient condition, route of administration and the like into consideration. Usually the dosage can be 0.01-20 mg /kg in single or divided daily doses.
