DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Disclosed herein are 3,4-thiazolo-steroid compounds and methods of making and using the same. The thiazolo-steroids may be prepared via the reaction of a 6β-bromosteroid with thioamides and thioureas to form the 3,4-thiazolo-derivates. Screening the compounds against a cancer panel reveals that these compounds are potent cytotoxic and anticancer agents, particularly anti-melanoma cancer agents.


As used herein “steroid” is a compound possessing the skeleton of cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene or a skeleton derived therefrom by one or more bond scissions or ring expansions or contractions (as shown below). Steroids typically comprise a core skeletal structure composed of 17 carbon atoms bonding through four fused rings. As shown below, the skeletal structure comprises three fused cyclohexyl rings (rings A, B, and C) and one fused cyclopenyl ring (ring D).

Methyl groups are often present at C-10 and C-13, and a side chain may also be present at C-17. Numerous modifications of the cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene skeleton are known in the art. By varying the functional groups attached to the four-ring core and saturation of the rings, the steroid's biological activity is modified.


Described herein are 3,4-thiazolo steroids. Suitably, 3,4-thiazolo steroid comprises a substituted or unsubstituted thiazolo fused to a steroid at the 3- and 4-carbon positions. In one aspect of the invention, the 3,4-thiazolo steroids have the formula

Also provided herein are 3,4-thiazolo-modified salts.


In some embodiments, the thiazolo substituent R1 may be any of the following: hydrogen, a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C12 alkyl, a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkenyl, a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkynyl, a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C3-C12 cycloalkyl, a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C12 aryl, a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C12 arylalkyl, or a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C3-C12 heterocyclyl.

In other embodiments, n equals 0 and the D-ring is a cyclopentenyl ring having a double bond between the C-16 and C-17 positions. In yet other cases, n equals 1 and the D-ring is a lactam having the amine diradical inserted between the C-13 and C-17 positions of the D-ring.

The substituents, R2 and R3, at the C-17 position may also be modified. In embodiments, R2 and R3 together comprise a substituent. Suitably R2 and R3 together may be selected from: an oxo group (═O), an oxime group (═NOH), a cyano group (—CN), a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C12 aryl, or a hydrazone group such as ═N—NRR′ or ═NN(H)C(═O)R.


When R2 and R3 together form ═N—NRR′, R and R′ may be independently selected from hydrogen; a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C12 alkyl; a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkenyl; a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkynyl; a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C3-C12 cycloalkyl; a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C12 aryl; a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C12 arylalkyl; or a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C3-C12 heterocyclyl; or R and R together is selected a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkylene; a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 ether; or a branched or unbranched, substituted or unsubstituted, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary amine.

Bromonated steroids may be used to prepare the 3,4-thiazolo steroid of the present invention. As exemplified with 6-bromoandrostendione, Schemes 1A and 1B demonstrate the formation of 3,4-thiazolo-androstenone derivative from thioamides and thioureas, respectively. These reactions prepare 3,4-thiazolo steroid derivatives from 6-bromo-4-en-3-one steroids such as 6-bromoandrostendione.

Alsharif and Alam (Modular synthesis of thiazoline and thiazole derivatives by using a cascade protocol. RSC Advances 2017, 7, 32647-32651) disclose the preparation of thiazoline derivatives from the γ-bromo-enones with thioamides and thioureas. The reaction proceeds through Sn2 substitution of the 4-bromocrontonate derivative followed by intramolecular Michael addition (Scheme 2).




embedded image


It was expected, therefore, that the reaction of thioureas and thioamides would react with bromoandrostenedione to prepare a 5,6-thiazolo-androstenone (Schemes 1A and 1B). Surprisingly, this was not the case. As the Examples below demonstrate, the actual products 3,4-thiazolo-androstenone were formed.


The reactions described in Schemes 1A and 1B do not require anhydrous solvent and inert atmosphere. The products formed cleanly and the pure material was isolated simply by distilling out HFIP followed by washing with methanol and water.


Formation of 3,4-thiazolo Steroids from Thioamides


Thioamide derived 3,4-thiazolo steroids may be prepared by the reaction of 6-bromo-4-en-3-ones such as bromoandrostenedione. As shown in Scheme 3, the reactions do not require anhydrous solvent and inert atmosphere.

Reaction of thiobenzamide with the electrophile, 6-bromoandrostendione, in HFIP afforded the product (II.19) in 61% yield (Scheme 4). After the identification of the product as thiazolo-androstenone in HFIP, we carried out the reaction in different solvents including different alcohols, and polar aprotic solvents: THF, DMSO, and DMF (see Examples below). Refluxing the reaction mixture in DMF gave the decomposed products. Nevertheless, 20% product was also obtained in acetic acid. Based on these observations, we can conclude that polar protic solvents are required for the product formation of this domino methodology and HFIP has the option properties for the success of this reaction.

The results of reactions of different thioamide derivatives are shown in Scheme 4. Reaction of thioacetamide and 2-phenylthioacetamide with 6β-bromoandrostenone formed the products (II.1 and II.2) in 52% and 56% yield respectively. 2-(2-Methylphenyl)thioacetamide also reacted with the electrophile to give the benzyl derivative (II.18) in 61% yield. Substituted thiobenzamide derivatives were isolated under the established reaction condition. m-Methyl and p-methyl substituted aryl products formed (II.7 and II.8) in 59% and 61% yield respectively. Similarly, methoxy substituted products (1.9 and II.10) formed in an average of 63% yield. Hydroxy substituted products (II.11, II.4, and II.17) were obtained in good yields. Furthermore dihydroxy thiobenzamide also reacted smoothly to give the expected product (II.20) in 58% yield. The number and position of hydroxy group did not alter the outcome of the corresponding products. Products containing electron withdrawing substituents were obtained under the established reaction condition. 3-Fluoro substituted thiazolo-androstenone derivative (II.12) formed in 60% yield and 4-fluorophenyl substituted compound (II.13) was obtained in 61% yield. 3-Chloro and 4-chloro substituted products (II.14 and II.15) formed in an average of 50% yield. 4-Bromophenyl product (II.16) was obtained 45% yield. 4-(Trifluoromethyl)thiobenzamide reacted with the electrophile to give the corresponding product (II.21). 3-Nitro-thiobenzamide also reacted with the electrophile to give the corresponding product (II.22). Last but not the least, heterocycle based thioamide formed the product (II.3), albeit low yield (38%) was obtained. Thioisonicotinamide (pyridine-4-thiocarboxamide) failed to react with the 6β-bromoandrostenone to give a product and starting materials were recovered even after refluxing for 24 hours. The product formation of this methodology is in ˜50% yield and the remaining starting material, 6β-bromoandrostenone, was recovered. Surprising, refluxing for longer periods of time did not improve the yield of the reactions.


This methodology generates a new class of novel molecules based on fused thiazolo-steroid scaffold. These molecules can be further transformed into new entities by simple reactions, e.g., as shown in Scheme 5. 17-Hydroxy and 17-aceloxy derivatives of androstane skeleton are integral parts of drugs, hormones, natural products, and synthetic bioactive molecules. We reacted some of the molecules with NaBH4 and stereospecific product (III.15) was obtained in excellent yield. Further acetylation with Ac2O/pyridine afforded the acetylated product in quantitative yield. Structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography data.

The structures of compounds (II.12, II.13, and acetylated product) unequivocally confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which has helped to establish the regiochemistry and stereochemistry of the reactions.

As shown in Scheme 6, the reactions do not require anhydrous solvent and inert atmosphere and may be prepare as follows.

The product (IIa.1) formed in 92% yield and the pure material was isolated simply by filtration followed by washing with ethanol and water. Gram-scale reaction did not alter the outcome of the product. After the identification of the product as thiazolo-androstenone, we carried out the reaction of substituted thiourea derivatives under the same reaction conditions. Expected products formed in good to excellent yield. Reaction of alkyl substituted thiourea with the electrophile afforded the products. Reaction of ethylthiourea and n-butylthiourea afforded the corresponding products (IIa.30 and IIa.31) in 71% and 78% yields respectively. Reaction of allyl and 2-phenylethyl thioureas with the electrophile resulted the products (IIa.3 and IIa.2) in 73% and 75% yields, respectively. The reaction of benzyl thiourea gave the product (IIa.5) in 79% yield. Morpholine, a hydrophilic substituent, attached alkyl thiourea reacted smoothly to give the corresponding product (IIa.4) in 75% yield. We observed that arylthiourea derivatives also reacted with the electrophile and gave the products without affecting the average yield and purity. N-Phenyl thiourea reacted with the electrophile to give the product (IIa.7) in 86% yield. Electron donating groups on the aryl ring of thiourea gave the products without affecting the yield and purity of the desired molecules. Toluenyl product (IIa.32) was obtained in 92% yield. Methoxy, trifluoromethoxy, and hydroxy phenyl substituted products (IIa.15, IIa.19, and IIa.17) also formed to increase the number of compounds in the library. To further study the scope of the methodology, substrates with electron withdrawing groups on the phenyl ring were reacted with the electrophile and the products were formed expectantly. Fluoro and chloro substituted products (IIa.33, IIa.8, and IIa.11) formed in 80%, and 74%, respectively. Carboxylic acid substituted products (IIa.34 and IIa.23) formed in an average of ˜73% yield.


This methodology also tolerated the very strong electron withdrawing group, nitro, on the phenyl ring to give the product (IIa.13) in 81% yield. Disubstituted products were also obtained efficiently. Bisfluoro and bismethyl substituted products (IIa.10 and IIa.14) were formed in 77% and 76% yields respectively. Other disubstituted products (IIa.20 and IIa.16) formed in an average of 73% yield. N,N-Disubstitution on thiourea did not hamper the reaction and the expected product (IIa.6) formed in 73% yield. Pyridine and pyrimidine substituted products (IIa.21 and IIa.22) formed by using the same reaction condition. Thus, this methodology is general to generate a library of potential bioactive thiazolo-androstenone derivatives.


To test the scope of the methodology to generate a library of new molecules as potential therapeutic agents, one of the compounds (IIa.1) has been synthesized in multi-gram scale and further derivatized by simple transformations. Reaction of the aminothiazolo derivative (IIa.1) with acetic anhydride formed acetamido product (IIb.1), which on NaBH4 reduction followed by acetylation formed the hydroxy and acetoxy products respectively (Scheme 7). The average yield of these reactions are >90% and the product were obtained simply by filtration and washing with methanol and water.

Acetyl Derivatives

Acetyl derivatives of the thiourea derives 3,4-thiazolo derivatives may also be prepared according to Scheme 8.

Reaction of amino derivative with Ac2O in DMAP (cat.) and pyridine for 24 hours resulted the formation of acetyl derivative. Heating (˜60° C.) may be required for some starting materials. After the completion of the reaction, methanol was added and addition of water resulted the precipitation of the product. Filtration and washing with water resulted the formation of pure product.


Various acetyl derivatives may be prepared according to this scheme, for example those shown in Table 3.

EXAMPLES
Synthetic Methods
Thioamide Derivatives

β-bromoandrostenedione, thioamide, and sodium acetate was mixed in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) for 12 hours to complete the reaction. Progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). After the completion of the reaction, HFIP was distilled out and the reaction mixture was suspended in methanol. Filtration followed by washing with water afforded the pure product in yield.


Solvent Selection

After the identification of the product II.19 in HFIP, we carried out the reaction in different solvents including different alcohols, and polar aprotic solvents: THF, DMSO, and DMF (Table 15). Refluxing the reaction mixture in DMF gave the decomposed products. Based on these observations, we can conclude that polar protic solvents are required for the product formation of this domino methodology and HFIP has the best properties of the solvent tested for the success of this reaction.

IC50 is the concentration of a drug that inhibits a biological activity by 50%. e.g. the drug could be reducing the activity of an enzyme by 50%. GI50 would be the concentration of the anticancer drug that inhibits the growth of cancer cells by 50% (in other words, after giving the drug, there is a 50% reduction in cancer ceil proliferation). LC50 stands for “Lethal Concentration”. TGI=Tumor growth inhibition.

Anti-Melanoma Studies of Thiazole-Androstane Derivatives
Materials and Methods

Cytotoxicity Assay: Melanoma cells (˜4000 cells in each well) were incubated in a 96 well plates at 37° C. in 5% CO2 for 24 hours. Compounds were added in triplicates and the plate was further incubated for 24 hours. DMSO and dacarbazine were added as technical and positive controls respectively. Next day resazurin was added and the plate was further incubated for 6 hours followed by reading the plate at 544 nm (excitation) and 590 nm (emission) using BMG Labtech Fluostar Optima plate reader. IC50 values were determined by using Graphpad Prism.


On day 1, the cell line trypsinized and centrifuged to form cell pellet. The pellet was diluted in media, then counted using Countess automated ceil counter. Approximately 4000 cells (198 uL) per well plated in 63 of 64 inner wells. A control well of 200 uL growth media was also prepared. Wells closest to plate perimeter were filled with 200 uL PBS to prevent inner well evaporation. The 96 well plates are incubated in 37° C. incubator at 5% CO2 for 24 hours.


On day 2, compounds were added (in triplicate) along with DMSO/Dacarbazine controls (2 uL) added to bring wells to volume of 200 uL. The 96 well plates are incubated in 37° C. incubator at 5% CO2 for 24 hours.


On day 3, 40 uL of 0.15 mg/mi reszurin solution added to wells. Samples were placed in a 37° C. incubator at 5% CO2 for 6 hours. Excitation and emission for fluorescence measured at 544 nm and 590 nm using BMG Labtech Fluostar Optima plate reader


Percent viability determined by taking average of each triplicate well fluorescence and subtracting GM well reading to remove the background signal. This difference is then divided by the average of the negative control (DMSO) wells to determine percent viability.


IC50s were determined by using cereal dilution of compound to determine viability. Viabilities and concentration of cells are analyzed in Graphpad Prism by creating sigmoidal curve graph, which will determine the IC50 concentration.


We analyzed the ability of the thiazole-androstane derivatives to inhibit growth in various melanoma cell lines. The growth inhibition against melanoma cell lines of various compound is shown below in Tables 19 and 20. Inhibition results are reported as the IC50 concentration in μM of the indicated compound or as the percent viability (% inhibition) of the indicated compound. NA=not available.


Without being limited by theory, the compounds that showed the most promising results were compounds IIa.32, IIa.11, IIIa.12, IIIa.13, and IIIa.33 as these compounds had some of the lowest IC50s in various melanoma cell lines. Compounds IIIa.33 is of particular interest as this compound exhibited IC50s<10 μM for cell lines LOX IMVI, SK-MEL-28, and SK-MEL-25; an IC50 of 13 μM was observed in cell line HFF-1.
