TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to 2,7-dideoxy-7-fluoro-2,3-didehydrosialic acid, and a synthetic intermediate thereof.
RELATED ART
Sialic acid (a1) exists at the terminal end of glycoproteins and glycolipids in a living body, particularly an interior of animals, and plays an important role for a life sustainment, such as an adhesion between cells, a transmission of information, a delivery of hormone, etc. In order to elucidate the functions of sialic acid on the molecular level, various derivatives of sialic acid have been synthesized by chemical modifications.
Regarding derivatives of 2,3-didehydrosialic acid, a natural type (a2) [Haruo OGURA, Chem. Pharm. Bull., 36, 1872-1876 (1988)], 4-amino (a3) and 4-guanidino (a4) derivatives [M. von Itzstein et al., Carbohydr. Res., 259, 301-305 (1994)] have been synthesized, and their antiviral actions on influenza virus have been known. Regarding fluorine-containing derivatives of sialic acid, a 2-F derivative (a5) [(M. N. Sharma et al., Carbohydr. Res., 127, 201-210 (1984)], a 3-F derivative (a6) [Tatsuo IDO et al., Agric. Biol. Chem., 52, 1209-1215 (1988)] and a 9-F derivative (a7) [W. Korytnyk et al., J. Carbohydr. Chem., 1, 311-315 (1982-1983)] have been synthesized. Among them, the 3-F derivative exhibits a sialidase inhibition action and the 9-F derivative exhibits a carcinostatic action. ##STR1##
As described above, the didehydro derivatives and fluorine-containing derivatives of sialic acid have various physiological activities.
It is expected to enhance physiological activities and impart a selectivity by combining properties of didehydro derivatives with those of fluorine-containing sialic acid.
In the synthesis method of sialic acid, a large amount of sialic acid can be obtained from N-acetyl-D-mannosamine and pyruvic acid by using an enzyme method. Accordingly, the 7-position of sialic acid corresponds to the 4-position of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine. In order to introduce a fluorine atom at the 4-position of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine while maintaining the configuration, N-acetyl-D-talosamine is required. N-acetyltalosamine exits in the cartilage of the trachea of sheep, but is scarce. N-acetyltalosamine can be produced by the synthesis from lyxose (R. Kuhn et al., Ann, 1958, 612, 65) and by the epimerization of the 3-position of D-idosamine derivatives (R. W. Jeanioz et al., J. Org. Chem., 1961, 26, 532). However, these methods are not suitable because, for example, the synthetic process has many steps.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide 2,7-dideoxy-7-fluoro-2,3-didehydrosialic acid which is expected as drugs such as antiviral agents, carcinostatic agents, immunomodulation agents, etc., and synthetic intermediates thereof.

In the present invention, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine is available in the same degree of ease as that in case of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine. Therefore, 2,7-dideoxy-7-fluoro-2,3-didehydrosialic acid can be easily synthesized by using N-acetyl-D-galactosamine as the starting raw material. Namely, 2,7-dideoxy-7-fluoro-2,3-didehydrosialic acid can be synthesized by protecting hydroxyl groups other than the hydroxyl group at the 4-position of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, subjecting the hydroxyl group at the 4-position to Walden inversion simultaneously with introducing a fluorine atom, to give N-acetyl-4-deoxy-4-fluoro-D-glucosamine, isomerizing and subjecting it to aldol reaction together with pyruvic acid through the use of an enzyme (N-acetylneuraminic acid aldolase) to construct a novel route for synthesizing the objective 7-deoxy-7-fluoro-sialic acid, and then forming an intermediate from the resulting 7-fluorosialic acid to give 2,7-dideoxy-7-fluoro-2,3-didehydrosialic acid.

The 2,3-didehydrosialic acid derivative is an important compound which exhibits a sialidase inhibition activity. It is useful to synthesize a derivative modified chemically with fluorine in order to examine the influence of the chemical structure on the manifestation of its activity. In addition, this fluorine-substituted 2,3-didehydrosialic acid can be used for developing practical medicines and for clinical applications.
Accordingly, the development of the synthetic route of the above-described 2,3-didehydrosialic acid of the present invention and the provision in the practical amount are extremely significant.
Thus, the present inventors have produced this fluorine-substituted 2,3-didehydrosialic acid as the objective compound by firstly synthesizing a chloro-acyl derivative of fluorine-containing sialic acid, treating it with an organic base to give a 2,3-didehydro derivative and subjecting the derivative to a hydrolysis reaction process.
It can be also produced by substituting chlorine of the chloro-acyl derivative with SMe, converting into a 2,3-didehydro derivative and subjecting the derivative to a hydrolysis reaction process.
Firstly, the chloro-acetyl derivative of the fluorine-containing sialic acid represented by the general formula (II) is produced as the compound (2) according to the reaction process shown in the Reaction Scheme 1. In the reaction process of this Reaction Scheme 1, the compound (2) is obtained by treating the starting material of methyl [5-acetamido-3,5,7-trideoxy-7-fluoro-D-glycero-.alpha.-D-galacto-2-nonuropyranosido]nate (compound (1)) with acetyl chloride, followed by concentrating under the reduced pressure. The amount of acetyl chloride may be from 10 to 500 mol, based on 1 mol of the compound (1). For example, the reaction may be carried out at 30.degree. to 40.degree. C. for 1 to 50 hours. ##STR9##
The SMe sialic acid derivative represented by the general formula (III) is produced as the compound (4) according to the reaction process shown in the Reaction Scheme 2. The compound (3) in which the 2-position of the compound (2) is subjected to SAc-substitution is obtained. The SAc-substitution can be carried out by using a SAc-group forming agent, e.g. potassium thioacetate. The amount of the SAc-group forming agent may be from 2 to 10 mol, based on 1 mol of the compound (2). The reaction may be carried out in a solvent. Examples of the solvent include dichloromethane, chloroform, diethyl ether, dichloroethane, etc. The reaction may be carried out at 0.degree. to 40.degree. C. for 3 to 24 hours.
Then, the compound (4) is obtained by reacting the compound (3) with an alkaline metal alkoxide at a low temperature in a solvent of alcohol, evaporating the solvent, reacting with methyl iodide at a room temperature or a slightly elevated temperature in a suitable aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide, and then treating according to a conventional method. Examples of an alkaline metal in the alkaline metal alkoxide include lithium, sodium, potassium, etc. The amount of the alkaline metal alkoxide may be from 0.5 to 1 mol, based on 1 mol of the compound (3). The reaction may be carried out at the temperature of -60.degree. to -15.degree. C. for 1 to 30 minutes. ##STR10##
As shown in the Reaction Scheme 3, a 2,3-didehydrosialic acid derivative (compound (5)) represented by the general formula (I) can be obtained by treating the compound (2) or (4) with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) or using N-iodosuccinimide and a catalytic amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.
The amount of DBU may be from 1 to 5 mol, based on 1 mol of the compound (2). For example, the reaction with DBU may be carried out at -10.degree. to 40.degree. C. for 0.5 to 4 hours. This reaction may be carried out in a solvent. Examples of the solvent include methylene chloride, diethyl ether, benzene, etc.
The amount of N-iodosuccinimide may be from 1 to 6 mol, based on 1 mol of the compound (4). The amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid may be from 0.1 to 1 mol, based on 1 mol of the compound (4). The reaction may be carried out at -40.degree. to 20.degree. C. for 1 to 6 hours. This reaction may be carried out in a solvent. Examples of the solvent include propionitrile, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, methylene chloride, etc. ##STR11##
A desired fluorine-substituted 2,3-didehydrosialic acid derivative (IV) is obtained by removing a protecting group of the compound (5) prepared as described above. The removal can be carried out by treating with sodium methoxide in methanol and adding an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The amount of a removing agent may be from 0.02 to 100 mol, based on 1 mol of the compound (5). For example, the reaction may be carried out at -10.degree. to 40.degree. C. for 0.5 to 6 hours. This reaction process is as shown in Reaction Scheme 4. ##STR12## Further, 7-deoxy-7-fluoro-sialic acid (X): ##STR13## wherein R is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and Ac is an acetyl group which is used as the starting material for synthesizing the compounds represented by the general formulas (I), (II), (III) and (IV) can be produced as follows.
The compound (X) in which R is the hydrogen atom is N-acetyl-7-deoxy-7-fluoro-neuraminic acid, which is obtained by substituting the hydroxyl group at the 7-position of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid with a fluorine atom. In order to introduce the fluorine atom at the 7-position while maintaining the configuration of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid, there can be used the method comprising protecting the hydroxyl groups, other than the hydroxyl group at the 7-position, with a suitable protecting group, subjecting these hydroxyl groups to Walden inversion, followed by fluorinating with a corresponding fluorinating reagent. However, the 7-position of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid is adjacent to a pyranose ring and, therefore, the side reaction is liable to proceed at Walden inversion and fluorinating reaction because of a steric hindrance.
In order to avoid these difficulties, an aldol condensation between N-acetyl-4-deoxy-4-fluoro-D-glucosamine and sodium pyruvate is carried out using N-acetyl-neuraminic acid aldolase in the present invention. This reaction is shown by the following Reaction Scheme, thereby producing the compound (X) in which R is hydrogen [i.e. compound (X-1)]. ##STR14##
N-acetyl-4-deoxy-4-fluoro-D-glucosamine as the raw material is synthesized from N-acetyl-glucosamine [M. Sharma et at., Carbohydr. Res., Vol. 198 (1990), 202-221]. In this process, there can also be used a method of selectively subjecting the starting material of commercially available N-acetyl-D-galactosamine to inversion/fluorinating at 4-position. Thereby, the two processes can be shorten.
For example, the compound (X) can be obtained according to the following reaction scheme. ##STR15## [wherein Tr is (C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.3 C--].

The detritylation can be carried out by using an aqueous solution of an acid (e.g. acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, etc.) as a solvent.

The compound (X) in which R is hydrogen [N-acetyl-7-deoxy-7-fluoro-neuraminic acid] can be obtained by reacting N-acetyl-4-deoxy-4-fluoro-D-glucosamine (16) with sodium pyruvate in water in the presence of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid aldolase.

The compounds of the formulas (I) to (IV) and (X) can be used as drugs (e.g. a carcinostatic agent or metastasis inhibitor due to changing the amount of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid of the membrane surface of tumor cells, an antiviral agent against influenza and AIDS, a platelet aggregation inhibitor due to competition action to phospholipid metabolic enzyme, an immunomodulation agent due to N-acetyl-neuraminic acid metabolic system of lymphocytes, etc.), intermediates of examination reagents and biochemical reagents.
It is extremely difficult to introduce fluorine at the 7-position of natural sialic acid. Namely, the 7-position locates at the first position of a carbon chain extending from a pyranose structure of sialic acid, which results in steric hindrance due to the pyranose structure and protecting groups of hydroxyl groups at the 8- and 9-positions. Therefore, it is difficult to react with a reagent. In addition, it is further difficult to introduce a fluorine atom while maintaining the configuration of the 7-position.
The present inventors have accomplished to synthesize the objective 2,7-dideoxy-7-fluoro-2,3-didehydrosialic acid by stereoselectively substituting the 7-position of sialic acid with the fluorine atom.

Example 6
Synthesis of 5-acetamide-2,6-anhydro-3,5,7-trideoxy-7-fluoro-D-glycero-D-galacto-non-2-enonic acid (abbreviated to compound (6)) (IV)
The compound (5) (150 mg, 0.346 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous methanol (23 ml) and a 1M sodium methoxide-methanol solution (10 .mu.l, 0.01 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at a room temperature for 1.5 hours. Then, an aqueous 1N sodium hydroxide solution (23 ml, 23 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for one hour. Dowex 50W-X8 (16 g) was added, and the mixture was subjected to a desalting treatment and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under the reduced pressure to give 99 mg of the compound (6) (yield: 97.3%).
