Description

The present invention relates to a novel sulfonamide or sulfonic ester derivative, a process for the preparation of the derivative, and a drug composition containing the same as an active ingredient.
PRIOR ART
Chemotherapeutic agents which have been used in the treatment of cancers include cyclophosphamide as an alkylating agent; methotrexate and fluorouracil as antimetabolites; adriamycin, mitomycin and bleomycin as antibiotics; vincristine and etoposide as drugs derived from plants; and cisplatin as a metal complex. However, these agents are insufficient in antitumor activity, so that the development of a new antitumor agent is eagerly expected.
Further, 2-sulfanylamidoquinoxaline derivatives (US-A4931433) and N-(2-anilino-3-pyridinyl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives (EP-A472053) have been reported as aromatic sulfonamide antitumor agents. No report has been made on aromatic sulfonic ester antitumor agents.

It is needless to say that the present invention includes hydrates and optical isomers of these compounds, if they are present. Although the compounds of the present invention exhibit a high antitumor activity, the present invention also includes compounds which undergo metabolism such as oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis or conjugation in vivo to exhibit an antitumor activity. Further, the present invention also includes compounds which undergo metabolism such as oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis in vivo to form the compounds of the present invention.
Although the compound (I) of the present invention can be prepared by various processes, representative processes for the preparation of the compound (I) will now be described. 1) The compound (I) can be prepared by reacting a sulfonic acid represented by the general formula (II): ##STR3## (wherein Aa represents a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic ring which may have a protected or unprotected substituent; and W is as defined above) or a reactive derivative thereof with a compound represented by the general formula (III): ##STR4## (where in Ba represents a six-membered unsaturated hydrocarbon ring or six-membered heterocycle containing one nitrogen atom as the heteroatom, each of which may have a protected or unprotected substituent; Ca represents a five-membered heterocycle containing one or two nitrogen atoms which may have a protected or unprotected substituent; and X, Y and Z are each as defined above).
The reactive derivative of the sulfonic acid (II) may be any conventional one and examples thereof include sulfonyl halide, sulfonic anhydride and N-sulfonylimidazolide, among which sulfonyl halide is particularly preferable. Although the solvent to be used in the above reaction is not particularly limited, a solvent in which the starting materials are soluble and which is little reactive with the materials is preferably used. Examples of such a solvent include pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, benzene, ethyl ether, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and mixtures of two or more of them. When an acid is liberated with the progress of the reaction like in the case of using a halide of the sulfonic acid, it is preferable that the reaction be conducted in the presence of a suitable deacidifying agent. From this standpoint, the use of a basic solvent such as pyridine is particularly preferable. When a neutral solvent is used, a basic substance such as an alkali carbonate or organic tertiary amine may be added. Of course, the solvent usable in the reaction is not limited to those described above. Although the reaction generally proceeds at room temperature, it may be conducted under cooling or heating at need. The reaction time is generally 10 minutes to 20 hours and may be arbitrarily selected in view of the types of the starting materials and reaction temperature.
When the obtained product has a protected amino or hydroxyl group, if necessary, the product can be converted into a sulfonamide derivative or a sulfonic ester derivative (I) having a free hydroxyl or amino group by a conventional deblocking method such as treatment with acid or alkali or catalytic reduction. 2) The compound (I) can be prepared by reacting a compound represented by the general formula (IV): ##STR5## (wherein Aa, Ba, W, X and Z are each as defined above) with a halogenating agent. Examples of the halogenaing agent include N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide, 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, N-bromoacetamide, chlorine and bromine. Although the solvent to be used in the reaction is not particularly limited, examples of the solvent include chloroalkanes such as dichioromethane, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride; chlorinated aromatic compounds such as chiorobenzene and dichiorobenzene; and water-soluble solvents such as dimethylformamide, dioxane, pyridine and acetonitrile. The reaction temperature generally ranges from -50.degree. to 100.degree. C., though it varies depending upon the types of the halogenating agent and the substrate.
When the obtained product has a protected amino or hydroxyl group, if necessary, the product can be converted into a sulfonamide derivative or a sulfonic ester derivative (I) having a free hydroxyl or amino group by a conventional deblocking method such as treatment with acid or alkali or catalytic reduction. 3) The compound (I) can be prepared by reacting a compound represented by the general formula (V): ##STR6## (wherein Aa, Ba, W, X and Z are each as defined above; and E represents a substituent convertible into a cyano group through dehydration) with a dehydrating agent. Examples of such a substituent that convertible into a cyano group through dehydration include (hydroxyimino)methyl and carbamoyl.
Alternatively, the oxime or acid amide may be prepared from the starting material aldehyde or carboxylic acid and may be reacted with a dehydrating agent without being isolated. The dehydrating agent may be any one conventionally used in the synthesis of nitriles and examples thereof include acetic anhydride, thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride, selenium dioxide and 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Although the solvent to be used in the reaction is not particularly limited, a solvent in which the starting materials are soluble and which is little reactive with them is preferably used, and examples of such a solvent include pyridine, ethyl ether, benzene, dimethylformamide, carbon tetrachloride, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran and mixtures of two or more of them. The reaction temperature generally ranges from -50.degree. to 150.degree. C., though it varies depending upon the types of the dehydrating agent and the substrate.
When the obtained product has a protected amino or hydroxyl group, if necessary, the product can be converted into a sulfonamide derivative or a sulfonic ester derivative (I) having a free hydroxyl or amino group by a conventional deblocking method such as treatment with acid or alkali or catalytic reduction. 4) The compound (I) can be prepared by reacting a compound represented by the general formula (VI): ##STR7## (wherein Ab represents a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic ring which has a substituent convertible into an amino group through reduction and may have a protected or unprotected substituent; and Ba, Ca, W, X, Y and Z are each as defined above) with a reducing agent. The substituent convertible into an amino group through reduction includes nitro, nitroso, hydroxyamino and azo groups.
Although the reduction can be conducted by any conventional process for reducing a nitro group, it is preferably conducted by catalytic reduction using palladium-carbon or platinum oxide as the catalyst or reduction using an acid together with zinc, iron or tin. The catalytic reduction is generally conducted in an organic solvent such as methanol, tetrahydrofuran or dimethylformamide under normal or elevated pressure.
When the obtained product has a protected hydroxyl group, if necessary, the product can be converted into a sulfonamide derivative or a sulfonic ester derivative (I) having a free hydroxyl group by a conventional deblocking method such as treatment with acid or alkali or catalytic reduction. 5) The compound (I) can be prepared by reacting a compound represented by the general formula (VII): ##STR8## (wherein Ac represents a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic ring which has a leaving group on the ring or the substituent and may have a protected or unprotected substituent; and Ba, Ca, W, X, Y and Z are each as defined above) with a nucleophile. The leaving group includes halogen, methanesulfonyloxy and p-toluenesulfonyloxy groups. The nucleophile includes amines, alcohols and thiols. The alcohol or thiol may be used in the form of a salt with an alkali metal or the like. Although the solvent to be used in the reaction is not particularly limited, a solvent in which the starting materials are soluble and which is little reactive with them is preferably used. Examples of such a solvent include tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethylformamide and water. The reaction temperature generally ranges from -50.degree. to 150.degree. C., though it varies depending upon the type of the substrate.
When the obtained product has a protected amino or hydroxyl group, if necessary, the product can be converted into a sulfonamide derivative or a sulfonic ester derivative (I) having a free hydroxyl or amino group by a conventional deblocking method such as treatment with acid or alkali or catalytic reduction.
Then, the preparation of the starting compound (II) and reactive derivative thereof and (III) will be described.
The starting compound (II) and reactive derivative thereof include both of known compounds and novel compounds. These novel compounds can be each prepared by applying one of the processes which have already been reported for the preparation of known compounds or combining two or more of the processes. For example, processes described in Chem. Ber., 90, 841 (1957), J. Med. Chem., 6., 307 (1963), J. Chem. Soc. (c), 1968, 1265, Chem. Lett., 1992, 1483, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 59, 1837 (1937), J. Med. Chem., 23, 1376 (1980), J. Am. Chem. Soc., 70, 375 (1948) and J. Am. Chem. Soc., 78 , 2171 (1956) can be applied to the preparation of novel sulfonyl chlorides.
The starting compound (III) also includes both of known compounds and novel compounds. The starting compound (III) wherein H--X-- is amino (H.sub.2 N--) can be prepared by reducing the corresponding nitro compound by a conventional process for reducing a nitro group. This reduction is preferably conducted catalytically with palladium-carbon as the catalyst or by using powdery zinc and hydrochloric acid. The catalytic reduction can be generally conducted in an organic solvent such as methanol, tetrahydrofuran or dimethylformamide under normal or elevated pressure.
The starting compound (III) wherein H--X-- is hydroxyl (HO--) can be prepared by diazotizing the above amino compound and hydrolyzing the resulting diazo compound.
When the starting compound is novel compound, it can be prepared by applying one of the processes which have already been reported for the preparation of known compounds, or combining two or more of such processes. For example, a novel starting compound can be prepared by applying the process described in Can. J. Chem., 42, 1235 (1964), Chem. Abst., 59, 8855 f (1963) or Tetrahedron Lett., 30, 2129 (1989) through the following reaction routes: ##STR9## wherein Qs are the same or different from each other and each represents a substituent; G represents halogen and t is an interger of 0 to 2. ##STR10## wherein Q and t are each as defined above. ##STR11## wherein Q, G and t are each as defined above; and DPPA refers to diphenylphosphorylazide. ##STR12## wherein Q, G and t are each as defined above; and DDQ refers to 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone.
When the compound of the present invention is used as a drug, it is administered orally or parenterally. Although the dose thereof varies depending upon the extent of symptom; the age, sex, weight and sensitivity of a patient; the method, timing and interval of administration; the properties, dispensing and type of pharmaceutical preparation; the type of an active ingredient and so forth and therefore is not particularly limited, the dose per adult a day is 10 to 6000 mg, preferably about 50 to 4000 mg, still preferably 100 to 3000 mg, which is generally administered in 1 to 3 portions a day.
A solid preparation for oral administration is prepared by adding a filler and, if necessary, a binder, disintegrator, lubricant, color and/or corrigent to an active ingredient and shaping the obtained mixture into a tablet, coated tablet, granule, fine granule, powder or capsule by the conventional process.
Examples of the filler include lactose, corn starch, sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, crystalline cellulose and silicon dioxide; those of the binder include polyvinyl alcohol, ethylcellulose, methylcellulose, acacia, hydroxypropylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose; those of the lubricant include magnesium stearate, talc and silica; those of the color include those authorized as pharmaceutical additives; and those of the corrigent include cocoa powder, menthol, aromatic powder, mentha oil, borneol and powdered cinnamon bark. Of course, the tablet and granule may be suitably coated with sugar, gelatin or the like, if necessary.
An injection is prepared by adding a pH regulator, buffer, suspending agent, solubilizing agent, stabilizer, isotonizing agent and/or preservative to an active ingredient at need and forming the obtained mixture into an injection for intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular administration by a conventional process. If necessary, the prepared injection may be freeze-dried by a conventional process.
Examples of the suspending agent include methylcellulose, Polysorbate 80, hydroxyethylcellulose, acacia, tragacanth powder, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate.
Examples of the solubilizing agent include polyoxyethylene hardened castor oil, Polysorbate 80, nicotinamide, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, macrogol and ethyl ester of castor oil fatty acid.
Examples of the stabilizer include sodium sulfite and sodium metasulfite; and those of the preservative include methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, sorbic acid, phenol, cresol and chlorocresol.
