2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine derivatives

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine derivatives and salts thereof. These compounds have a high anti-cancer activity and an excellent antiviral activity, and are useful as antitumor agents or as antiviral agents.
2'-Deoxy-5-fluorouridine (FudR) exhibits a high antitumor activity but has a high toxicity, posing a problem of being limited in safety margin.
Various 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine derivatives have been developed to overcome this problem. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications Nos.61,591/1985 and 106,593/1985 disclose numerous 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine derivatives. The disclosed 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine derivatives have moderated the problem to a certain extent but are not satisfactorily high in antitumor activity and are insufficient in therapeutic index, absorption and the like.
We conducted extensive research to overcome the foregoing prior art problem and successfully developed novel 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine derivatives which are higher in antitumor activity than conventional 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine derivatives and which are highly safe to human body. The present invention has been accomplished based on this novel finding.

EXAMPLE 8
(A) Preparation of 5'-O-[N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl]-3-O-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine
To a solution of 9.45 g of N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-glycine in 60 ml of acetonitrile was added 6.13 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide with stirring under ice-cooling. After three hours, dicyclohexylurea produced was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated. The oily residue was dissolved in 15 ml of anhydrous pyridine, and to the solution was added 5.00 g of 3'-O-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine. The mixture was left to stand for three hours at room temperature and for 30 minutes at a temperature of 40.degree. C. To the mixture was added 5 ml of water at room temperature and the mixture was left to stand for 30 minutes and then concentrated. The residue was dissolved in 50 ml of ethyl acetate, and the solution was washed three times with saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and twice with saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. Further the solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was placed on silica gel column and eluted with 1% methanol-chloroform, giving 5.33 g (75%) of 5'-O-[N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl]-3'-O-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine.

To a solution of 1.00 g of 3'-O-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine in 20 ml of pyridine was added 1.23 g of N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine chloride, and the mixture was subjected to reaction at room temperature for two days.
The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and to the residue were placed 30 ml of ethyl acetate and 20 ml of water. The organic layer was separated from the solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off. The resulting oily residue was placed on silica gel column and eluted with 1% methanol-chloroform for purification, giving 0.26 g (17%) of the desired 5'-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl)glycyl-3'-O-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine.
The product thus obtained was identified to be the compound provided in Example 8 (B) by thin-layer chromatography (developing solvent; chloroform:methanol=39:2, detection; irradiation with UV rays).
(E) Preparation of 3'-0-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2'-deoxy-5-fluoro-5'-O-glycyluridine hydrochloride
In 3 ml of 4N-HCl-dioxane was dissolved 0.88 g of 5'--O--[N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl]-3'-O-(4-chlorobenzyl)- 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine obtained in Example 8 (A), and the solution was left to stand for 30 minutes at room temperature. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was placed on silica gel column and eluted with 4-6% methanol-chloroform, giving 0.36 g (45%) of 3'-O-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2'-deoxy-5-fluoro-5'-O-glycyluridine hydrochloride.

EXAMPLE 18
Preparation of 5'-O-benzyl-2'-deoxy-5-fluoro-3'-O-glycyluridine hydrochloride
To a solution of 1.00 g of 5'-O-benzyl-2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine in 30 ml of anhydrous pyridine were added 0.78 g of N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)glycine and 1.80 g of 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, and the mixture was subjected to reaction at room temperature overnight.
The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was distributed between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was placed on silica gel column and eluted with 1% methanolchloroform for purification, giving 1.06 g of the desired 5'-O-benzyl-3'-O-[N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl]-2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine.
Subsequently, the compound produced above (intermediate) was dissolved in 10 ml of 10% hydrochloric acid-dioxane and stirred for 2 hours at room temperature.
The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was placed on silica gel column, and eluted with 10% methanol-chloroform for purification, giving 0.77 g (60%) of the desired 5+-O-benzyl- 2'-deoxy-5-fluoro-3'-O-glycyluridine hydrochloride.

Pharmacological Test I
The compound 12 of the invention was tested for antitumor effect to prove the usefulness of the compound.
Test Methods
(a) Method of determining the antitumor activity
Tissues of Sarcoma-180 were subcutaneously transplanted into the back of male mice of ICR/JCL strain (weighing 27 to 30 g) in an amount of 5.times.10.sup.6 cells each. The test compound was administered in the form of a weakly acidic aqueous solution. The solution was orally given to each mouse (7 mice in each group) in a dose of 1.0 ml/100 g body weight once a day for 7 consecutive days starting 24 hours after the transplantation, and a weakly acidic aqueous solution containing no test compound was orally administered to the control group in an amount of 1.0 ml/100 g body weight once a day for 7 consecutive days starting 24 hours after the transplantation.
The tumor was removed from the body on the 10the day after the transplantation and weighed to calculate the average weight of the tumors in the group to which the test compound-containing solution was given and the corresponding weight in the control group. The effective dose (ED.sub.50) for achieving 50% cancer inhibition was determined from the dose-response curve. The dose of 50% inhibition of body weight gain (IB.sub.50) was determined from the dose-body weight change curve. The therapeutic index (T.I. =IB.sub.50/ ED.sub.50) was determined with the results shown below in Table 6.

Table 6 shows that compound 12 is higher in efficacy and greater in therapeutic index than O.sup.3' -p-chlorobenzyl-2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine, hence superior in anti-cancer effect.
Pharmacological Test II
Sarcoma-180 subcultured in ascites of ICR mice was diluted with a physiological saline and subcutaneously transplanted into the backs of ICR mice in an amount of 2.times.10.sup.7 cells each. Twenty-four hours after the transplantation, a test compound dissolved in sterilized physiological saline was administered to the tail vein of each of the mice once a day for 7 consecutive days.
The solid tumor was isolated from under the dorsal skin of mice on the 10th day after the transplantation to measure the weight of the tumor. There was determined the ratio (T/C) of the weight of tumor (T) of the test compound group to the weight of tumor (C) of the control group. The 50% tumor inhibition dose (ED.sub.50 value) in which T/C is 0.5 was determined from the dose response curve of dosage and the ratio (T/C). Table 7 shows the results.
