BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention concerns antitumor compounds. More particularly, the invention provides novel paclitaxel derivatives, pharmaceutical formulations thereof, and their use as antitumor agents.
BACKGROUND ART
Taxol.RTM. (paclitaxel) is a natural product extracted from the bark of Pacific yew trees, Taxus brevifolia. It has been shown to have excellent antitumor activity in in vivo animal models, and recent studies have elucidated its unique mode of action, which involves abnormal polymerization of tubulin and disruption of mitosis. It has recently been approved for the treatment of refractory advanced ovarian cancer and breast cancer; and studies involving other cancers have shown promising results. The results of paclitaxel clinical studies are reviewed by numerous authors, such as by Rowinsky and Donehower in "The Clinical Pharmacology and Use of Antimicrotubule Agents in Cancer Chemotherapeutics," Pharmac. Ther. 52:35-84, 1991; by Spencer and Faulds in "Paclitaxel, A Review of its Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Properties and Therapeutic Potential in the Treatment of Cancer," Drugs, 48 (5) 794-847, 1994; by K. C. Nicolaou et al. in "Chemistry and Biology of Taxol," Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., 33: 15-44,1994; by F. A. Holmes, A. P. Kudelka, J. J. Kavanaugh, M. H. Huber, J. A. Ajani, V. Valero in the book "Taxane Anticancer Agents Basic Science and Current Status" edited by Gunda I. Georg, Thomas T. Chen, Iwao Ojima, and Dolotrai M. Vyas, 1995, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 31-57; by Susan G. Arbuck and Barbara Blaylock in the book "TAXOL.RTM. Science and Applications" edited by Mathew Suffness, 1995, CRC Press Inc., Boca Raton, Fla., 379-416; and also in the references cited therein.
A semi-synthetic analog of paclitaxel named Taxotere.RTM. (docetaxel) has also been found to have good antitumor activity. The structures of paclitaxel and Taxotere.RTM. are shown below along with the conventional numbering system for molecules belonging to the class; such numbering system is also employed in this application. ##STR1## Taxol.RTM.: R=Ph; R'=acetyl Taxotere.RTM.: R=t-butoxy; R'=hydrogen

The new products that have the general formula I, II, and III display a significant inhibitory effect with regard to abnormal cell proliferation, and have therapeutic properties that make it possible to treat patients who have pathological conditions associated with an abnormal cell proliferation. The pathological conditions include the abnormal cellular proliferation of malignant or non-malignant cells in various tissues and/or organs, including, non-limitatively, muscle, bone and/or conjunctive tissues; the skin, brain, lungs and sexual organs; the lymphatic and/or renal system; mammary cells and/or blood cells; the liver, digestive system, and pancreas; and the thyroid and/or adrenal glands. These pathological conditions can also include psoriasis; solid tumors; ovarian, breast, brain, prostate, colon, stomach, kidney, and/or testicular cancer, Karposi's sarcoma; cholangiocarcinoma; choriocarcinoma; neuroblastoma; Wilm's tumor, Hodgkin's disease; melanomas; multiple myelomas; chronic lymphocytic leukemias; and acute or chronic granulocytic lymphomas. The novel products in accordance with the invention are particularly useful in the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, melanoma, and ovarian, urothelial, oesophageal, lung, and breast cancers. The products in accordance with the invention can be utilized to prevent or delay the appearance or reappearance, or to treat these pathological conditions. In addition, the compounds of formula I are useful in treating and/or preventing polycystic kidney diseases (PKD) and rheumatoid arthritis.
The compounds of this invention can be made by techniques from the conventional organic chemistry repertoire. Schemes I-XII, which depict processes that compounds within the scope of formula I can be made, are only shown for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limiting the processes to make the compounds by any other methods.
The following procedures describe methods which can be utilized to prepare taxane analogs which contain substituents at C-6 and which are deoxygenated at C-7 and which have surprisingly unexpected anticancer properties, in light of the fact that the 6-.alpha.-hydroxy analog of paclitaxel (which has a hydroxy group at C-7) is a known human metabolite of paclitaxel which has been found to be much less cytotoxic than the parent compound and therefore is likely to be much less efficacious J. W. Harris et. al. J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 706-709; A. Rahlnan et. al. Cancer Research 1994, 54, 5543-5546; G. Kumar et. al. Cancer. Chemother. Pharmcol. 1995, 36, 129-135.
The synthesis and unexpected enhanced properties of taxane analogs with an alcohol at C-6 in the .beta.-configuration has never before been disclosed.
The compounds I of this invention are 7-deoxy-6-oxygenated or 6-substituted taxane analogs. All of the contemplated analogs can be prepared from a previously reported 6.alpha.,7.alpha.-diol intermediate 4 (Scheme I) or suitably substituted analogs. The preparation of this diol intermediate is shown in Scheme I.
As shown in Scheme I, the starting material is a taxane analog suitably protected to leave the most reactive hydroxy group at C-7. Compound 1 in Scheme I is protected at the 2' hydroxy group at the sidechain. The two examples of compound 1 actually described utilize silyl protecting groups at the 2' position, but other protecting groups could be utilized. The preparation of intermediates 1 are now well known in the art. The synthesis of diols 4 utilizes precursor 6,7-olefin analogs 3 which are also now known in the art. The compound's 3 can be formed directly from intermediate's 1 upon treatment with a reagent such as DAST as described in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,380,751. The synthesis of olefin 3 described in Scheme I proceeds through the 7-trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) intermediates 2 which are prepared as shown in step A. Elimination of the triflate (step B) provides the desired olefins 3. The preparation of 7-O triflates and their conversion into cyclopropanes and olefins has been divulged by Johnson, R. A., et al., Taxol chemistry. 7-O-Triflates as precursors to olefins and cyclopropanes. Tetrahedron Letters, 1994.35(43): p. 7893-7896 & by the same authors in WO 94/29288.
The olefin 3 is then hydroxylated with Osmium tetroxide (step C) which is used in either stoichiometric quantifies or catalytically in the presence of a cooxidant such as N-methyl morpholine-N oxide (NMO). A patent application on such diol intermediates which includes some methods of its preparation has been published: Roth et. al. 6,7 EP 0 600 517 A1. A protected taxane diol intermediate has also been described in the literature by Liang et. al. Tetrahedron Letters 1995, 36(17) 2901-2904. and ibid. 1995,36(43) 7795-7798. The osmium reagent only reacts from the face of the double bond which is down or .alpha. as the taxane core is depicted in this document. Thus this reaction provides only one stereoisomer.
The preferred approach to the initial 7-deoxy-substituted taxanes is shown in Scheme II. An advantage of this approach is it avoids the need for a selective protection of the starting 6,7 diol 4. A new cyclic thiocarbonate 5 is formed (step D)upon reaction with thiocarbonyldiimidazole (or alternatively thiophosgene could be used) under standard conditions of amine base and optional inert solvent. Other standard organic chemistry bases could also be utilized. Reduction of the thiocarbonate 5 (step E) with most preferably, a trialkyl germane such as tri-n-butyl germane provides the C-7 deoxy compound 6 with little, if any, competitive formation of the C-6 deoxy material. Alternatively, a trialkyl tin hydride could be utilized in place of the germanium reagent. The use of the tin hydride reagent also results in competitive deoxygenation at C-10 which produces mixtures which must be separated. The tin reagent is the method of choice for producing C 7 and 10 deoxy -6-substituted analogs if these are the desired targets. The use of trialkyl germane to suppress an unwanted side reaction is not precedented. This reagent has been studied by physical chemists in other radical reactions. J. W. Wilt et.al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1988, 110, 281-287. The product of step E is a 7-deoxy-6.alpha.-hydroxy intermediate 6 which is protected at the sidechain. As shown in Scheme II, deprotection (step F) of the sidechain by standard methods, which are by now well known in the art provides compounds III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =--H, R.sup.6 '=--OH) which are compounds with useful antitumor properties and which are claimed in this invention. The above reactions are demonstrated in Example 1.
An alternative route for synthesizing these same compounds are shown in Scheme III. This strategy for deoxygenating C-7 involves selectively protecting the C-6 hydroxy group of diol 4 (which is down or alpha) using common silyl, ester, or carbonate protecting groups as described in Greene et. al. The most preferred protecting groups are trialkylsilyl esters, acetate, phenoxy acetate, trichoroethylchloroformate, or benzoate. Examples of selectively protected compounds have appeared in the literature X. Liang, D. G. Kingston Tetrahedron Letters 1995, 36, 2901-2904. The examples of step G in this patent describe the use of trialkyl silyl protecting groups to provide compounds 7. Formation of a methyl xanthate at C-7 under standard conditions (step H) provides compounds 8. Reaction of compound 8 with trialkyl or aryl stannanes such as tri-n-butyl tin hydride in inert solvents at elevated temperatures which are sufficient for the reaction (usually 700.degree. to 110.degree. C.) provides mixtures of compounds 9 and 10. Sometimes the reaction is carried out in the presence of a radical initiator such as AIBN. The ratio of products is somewhat dependent on reaction conditions since excess tin reagent and higher reaction temperatures favor the formation of the C-10 deoxygenation reaction and thus compound 10. Use of tri-n-butylgermane should suppress the C-10 deoxygenation reaction. Compounds 9 and 10 can be separated chromatographically after deprotection (step J) using either aqueous acid or fluoride sources. The above reactions are demonstrated in Example 1.
Deoxygenation of taxanes at both C-7 and C-10 have been previously reported using similar methodology. Synthetic methodology for the preparation of C-7 deoxygenated Taxanes and their activity has been described in the literature: Chen, S.-H. and V. Farina, Paclitaxel structure-activity relationships and core skeletal rearrangements. ACS Symp. Ser., 1995. 583(Taxane Anticancer Agents): p. 247-61; Chen, S.-H., et al., A Facile Synthesis of 7,10-Dideoxy Taxol and 7-Epi-10-Deoxy Taxol.

All of these compounds have hydrogen substituents at C-6.
In the patent literature, U.S. Pat. No. 5,478,854 granted Dec. 26, 1995, Upjohn (WO94/13655), and Holton et. al. (WO94/17050 published Aug. 4,1994) have disclosed C-7 deoxygenated compounds. In patent application W094/17050, Holton claims many substituents at the taxane C-6 position (and the numerous other positions on the whole molecule) including hydroxy and alkoxy, but has no enabling methodology for making these compounds. Both other C-7 deoxy patent publications disclose only hydrogens at the taxane C-6 position.
As shown in Scheme IV, the C-6 alcohol 6 can now be oxidized to the ketone 11 using standard oxidants common in the art. The preferred reagent is TPAP (Tetrapropylammonium perruthenate) as described by Ley in Aldrichimica Acta 21(1), 16(1988), and ibid., 22(2), 53 (1989) and J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1625(1987). This ketone can then be desilylated under a variety of standard conditions to provide compounds III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =R.sup.6 '=oxo (.dbd.O)). The above reactions are demonstrated in Example 2, 8, 10, 11.
Reduction of ketone 11 with standard reducing agents such as Sodium borohydride in ethanol under conditions where selective ketone reduction occurs in the presence of esters (or the more hindered C-9 ketone) produces the protected 6.beta.-hydroxy-7-deoxy paclitaxel 12 (Scheme V). Hydride delivery occurrs preferentially from the bottom, less hindered .alpha. face. Desilylation of compound 12 provides 6.beta.-hydroxy compounds III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =--OH, R.sup.6 '=--H). The above reactions are demonstrated in Example 3, 9, 10, 11.
As shown in Scheme VI, addition of organometallic reagents to the ketone 11 provides mainly or exclusively tertiary alcohols at C-6 with the alcohol in the 1 configuration (up). This is a result of more facile attack from the bottom face. For example use of trimethyl aluminum provides compound 13 (R.sup.6 =--OH, R.sup.6 '=--CH.sub.3), which is the product of methyl addition to the ketone. Other organometallic reagents such as alkyl lithium reagents, Grignard reagents, or cerium based reagents which are well known in the art would also provide some of the desired products. Desilylation provides compounds III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =--OH, R.sup.6 '=--CH.sub.3). The above reactions are demonstrated in Example 4.
As shown in Scheme VII of the experimental section, reductive removal of the C-13 sidechain using tetrabutylammonium borohydride via standard Taxol methodology (N. F. Magri, D. G. I. Kingston, C. Jitrangsri, T. Piccariello J. Org. Chem. 1986, 51, 3239-3242) from diol III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =--H, R.sup.6 '=--OH) provides the a hydroxy baccatin which can be selectively protected using standard protecting groups on the 6-hydroxy group to give 15. The examples utilize trialkylsilyl ethers as the protecting group but others are suitable. Protected baccatin 15 can now be coupled with other sidechains using any methodology which is well known in the art. In these examples lactams are employed by using the standard coupling which has been described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,229,526 and 5,175,315 to Holton. Desilylation (or suitable deprotection conditions) provides analogs III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =--H, R.sup.6 '=--OH) with alternative sidechains to produce compounds 9. The above reactions are demonstrated in Examples 5, 6, and 7.
As shown in Scheme VIII direct oxidation of the 6a-alcohol of analogs III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =--H, R.sup.6 '=--OH) followed by reduction as described above in Scheme V, provides 6 B-hydroxy analogs with modified sidechains. Alternatively, as shown in Scheme IX, Bis silylated compounds 9 can be selectively deprotected at C-6 using for example acidic Dowex resin suspended in methanol(step W) to provide intermediates 6 which can be oxidized and reduced as described in Schemes IV and V. This produces compounds III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =--OH, R.sup.6 '=--H) with a 6.beta.-hydroxy substituent and modified sidechains. The above reactions are demonstrated in Examples 10 and 11.
As shown in Scheme X, step X, deprotonation of alcohols 17 with a lithium amide base (lithium bistrimethylsilylamide) followed by O-alkylation with bromomethyl methyl ether provides the 6.alpha.-methoxymethyl ether analog 17. This reaction illustrates the preparation of hydroxy derivatives at C-6 and demonstrates that conventional alcohol derivatization techniques can be utilized with C-6 alcohols. Other derivatives claimed in this application can be prepared using similar methodology. Deprotection of the 2' hydroxy protecting group under standard conditions, provides the 6-methoxymethyl ethers III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =--OCH.sub.2 OCH.sub.3, R.sup.6 '=--OH). As shown in Scheme M, a similar sequence can be utilized to derivatize 6.beta.-akohols and in this case produced the 6.beta.-methoxymethyl ether analogs III (R.sup.D =--OH R.sup.6 =--OCH.sub.2 OCH.sub.3, R.sup.6 '=--H). The above reactions are demonstrated in Examples 12 and 13.
Condensation of the ketone 11 with hydroxylamine (Scheme XII, step AB) provided two oximes as geometrical isomers E-19 and Z-20 which were separated chromatographically and then desilylated to provide pure III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =R.sup.6 '=--(.dbd.N--OH (E)) and III (R.sup.D =--OH, R.sup.6 =R.sup.6 '=--(.dbd.N--OH (Z)). O-alkyl or substituted hydroxylamines or hydrazines should also condense similarly with ketones 11.
The 7,19 cyclopropane derivatives could be prepared using conditions known in the art. Selectively protecting the C-6 alcohol of compound 4 to give compound 7, as in Scheme II, step G, followed by treatment with DAST would provide the cyclopropane as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,254,580 issued Oct. 19, 1993, and European Patent Application 600,517A1 published Jun. 8, 1994. Alternatively compound 7 could be treated with methanesulfonyl chloride or other sulfonylating reagent in pyridine or other amine base with DMAP as a catalyst to provide the C-7 a sulfonate. Heating the sulfonate on silica gel as described by R. A. Johnson in Tetrahedron Letters, Vol. 35, No 43, pp 7893-7896 (1994) would provide the 7,19 cyclopropane with an oxygen substitutent at C-6. Heating with other Lewis acids other then silica gel has been noted by others to provide C-7,19 cyclopropanes. Deprotecting of the C-6 hydroxyl group would provide the C-6 .alpha. alcohol from which derivatives could be prepared as described above. This alcohol could then be oxidized and reduced as above to provide the C-6 .beta. alcohol and derviatives thereof. ##STR8##

Some of the schemes refer to a hydroxy protecting group, preferably trialkylsilyl group. It is to be understood that hydroxy protecting group may be a carbonate or ester group --C(O)OR.sup.x or --C(O)R.sup.x. Thus when such a group is employed as a hydroxy protecting group, it may either be removed to generate the free hydroxy protecting group or it may remain as a part of the final product.
By now there are many publications teaching the introduction of a wide variety of groups onto a taxane core. By using these well established methods or obvious variants thereof, the starting taxanes of formula VII, or hydroxy protected analogues thereof, can be readily made.

The compounds of this invention exhibit antitumor activities in in vivo and/or in vitro models. For example, the following test describes the in vivo test used to evaluate some representative compounds of this invention.
Mice M109 Model
Balb/c x DBA/2 F.sub.1 hybrid mice were implanted intraperitoneally, as described by William Rose in Evaluation of Madison 109 Lung Carcinoma as a Model for Screening Antitumor Drugs,Cancer Treatment Reports, 65, No. 3-4 (1981), with 0.5 mL of a 2% (w/v) brei of M109 lung carcinoma.
Mice were treated with compounds under study by receiving intraperitoneal injections of various doses on either days 1, 5 and 9 post-tumor implant or days 5 and 8 post-implant. Mice were followed daily for survival until approximately 75-90 days post-tumor implant. One group of mice per experiment remained untreated and served as the control group.
Median survival times of compound-treated (T) mice were compared to the median survival time of the control (C) mice. The ratio of the two values for each compound-treated group of mice was multiplied by 100 and expressed as a percentage (i.e. % T/C) in the following table for representative compounds.

Mice M109 Model
Balb/c x DBA 2 F.sub.1 (CDF.sub.1) hybrid mice were implanted subcutaneously (sc) with 0.lmL of a 2% (w/v) brei of M109 lung carcinoma (as described by William Rose in Evaluation of Madison 109 Lung Carcinoma as a Modelfor Screening Antitumor Drugs, Cancer Treatment Reports, 65, No. 3-4 (1981)).
The test compounds and reference drug, paclitaxel, were administered intravenously to groups of mice; each group received a compound at a different dose level, and three or four different dose levels were evaluated per compound. Mice were treated with compounds intravenously, once daily, on days 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 post-tumor implant. Mice were followed daily for survival until their death or approximately 60-90 days post-tumor implant whichever occurred first. One group of mice per experiment remained untreated and served as the primary control group; a secondary control group was typically included and received 1/10th the tumor inocula of all the other groups of mice (i.e., 0.1 ml of a 0.2% (w/v) brei of M109 lung carcinoma). Tumors were also measured once or,more often, twice weekly to estimate the tumor weight according to the published procedure (ibid).
Median survival times of compound-treated (T) mice were compared to the median survival time of the control (C) mice. The ratio of the two values for each compound-treated group of mice was multiplied by 100 and expressed as a percentage (i.e. % T/C) in the following table for representative compounds. Additionally, the difference between the median time for treated groups and that for the control group to grow tumor to 1 gm, expressed as T-C values in days, is also shown in the following table. The greater the T-C value, the greater the delay in primary tumor growth. Compounds showing % T/C.gtoreq.125% and/or T-C .gtoreq.4.0 days are considered to be active in the M109 sc model provided the aforementioned secondary conrol group does not differ by more than 4 days from the primary control group with regard to the median time to grow 1 gm tumors. When the difference in the time to grow 1 gm tumors in both primary and secondary control groups is greater than 4 days, that difference becomes the criterion for activity.

Thus, another aspect of the instant invention concerns a method for inhibiting human and/or other mammalian tumors which comprises administering to a tumor bearing host an antitumor effective amount of a compound of formula I.
For treating a variety of tumors, the compound of formula I of the present invention may be used in a manner similar to that of paclitaxel, e.g. see Physician's Desk Reference, 49th Edition, Medical Economics, p 682, 1995. The dosage, mode and schedule of administration for the compound of this invention are not particularly restricted; an oncologist skilled in the art of cancer treatment will be able to ascertain, without undue experimentation, an appropriate treatment protocol for administering the compound of the present invention. Thus the compound of formula I may be administered via any suitable route of administration, parenterally or orally. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, and subcutaneous administration.
The doses utilized to implement the methods in accordance with the invention are the ones that make it possible to administer prophylactic treatment or to evoke a maximal therapeutic response. The doses vary, depending on the type of administration, the particular product selected, and the personal characteristics of the subject to be treated. In general, the doses are the ones that are therapeutically effective for the treatment of disorders caused by abnormal cell proliferation. The products in accordance with the invention can be administered as often as necessary in order to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Some patients may respond rapidly to relatively high or low doses, and then require mild maintenance or no maintenance dose at all. Via the iv route, the dosage may be, for example, in the range of about 20 to about 500 mg/m.sup.2 over 1 to 100 hours. Via the oral route, the dosage may be in the range of 5-1000 mg/kg/day of body weight. The actual dose used will vary according to the particular composition formulated, the route of administration, and the particular site, host and type of tumor being treated. Many factors that modify the action of the drug will be taken into account in determining the dosage including age, weight, sex, diet and the physical condition of the patient.
The present invention also provides pharmaceutical formulations (compositions) containing an antitumor effective amount of compound of formula I in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, diluents or adjuvants. The compositions can be prepared in accordance with conventional methods. Examples of formulating paclitaxel or derivatives thereof may be found in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,960,790 and 4,814,470, and such examples may be followed to formulate the compound of this invention. For example, compound of formula I may be formulated in the form of tablets, pills, powder mixtures, capsules, injectables, solutions, suppositories, emulsions, dispersions, food premix, and in other suitable forms. It may also be manufactured in the form of sterile solid compositions, for example, freeze dried and, if desired, combined with other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Such solid compositions can be reconstituted with sterile water, physiological saline, or a mixture of water and an organic solvent, such as propylene glycol, ethanol, and the like, or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use for parenteral administration.
Typical of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are, for example, manitol, urea, dextrans, lactose, potato and maize starches, magnesium stearate, talc, vegetable oils, polyalkylene glycols, ethyl cellulose, poly(vinylpyrrolidone), calcium carbonate, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, benzyl benzoate, sodium carbonate, gelatin, potassium carbonate, silicic acid. The pharmaceutical preparation may also contain nontoxic auxiliary substances such as emulsifying, preserving, wetting agents, and the like as for example, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, polyoxyethylene monostearate, glyceryl tripalmitate, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, and the like.
