The present invention is concerned with anticoagulants (i.e. substances that stop blood from clotting). More specifically, the present invention is concerned with orally available antithrombic oligosaccharides.
Heparin is an anticoagulant and is a natural sulphated polysaccharide that belongs to the family of glycosaminoglycans. Heparin acts as a controlling agent to prevent massive clotting of blood and, hence, runaway clot formation. The anticoagulant activity of heparin is reflected by its ability to accelerate the inhibition of several proteases in the blood-coagulation cascade including factor Xa and thrombin.
Heparin and heparin derived drugs inhibit the activity of factor Xa by attaching to a specific binding domain of antithrombin (AT). Once the heparin or heparin derived drugs are attached to the specific binding domain of antithrombin, they induce a conformational change in antithrombin (AT). It is the conformational change in AT that inhibits the activity of factor Xa. Investigations have shown that the lowest structural element that is capable of significantly binding AT, and inhibiting factor Xa, is a pentasaccharide.
Saccharides capable of binding to AT can be seen in European Patent 0 649 854, wherein a pentasaccharide chain- is said to be particularly advantageous at inhibiting factor Xa. Oligosaccharides capable of inhibiting thrombin, by binding to AT, are also disclosed in WO 98/03554 and WO 99/36443.
Additionally, U.S. Pat. No. 4,841,041 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,670,338 disclose pentasaccharides that have antithrombotic activity and anti-factor Xa activity. These pentasaccharides are said not to inactivate thrombin via inhibition of AT.
There are, however, problems associated with the use of heparins, which can be overcome by using low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) that have improved pharmacokinetic properties (e.g. longer half-lives) relative to unfractionated heparins. Despite the pharmacokinetic advantages associated with the use of LMWHs, due to a lack of absorption when administered orally they can only be administered parenterally. Thus, in spite of their well established antithrombic properties, heparin and LMWHs, suffer from a reduced bioavailability following oral administration.
There therefore remains a need for the production of a heparin derivative that can be orally administered. Ideally, such anticoagulants should be stable under acidic conditions, such as those found in the stomach. It would also be particularly advantageous to produce compounds that can be obtained by a chemical synthesis, as opposed to natural products.
The present invention aims to produce oligosaccharide derivatives that act as anticoagulants and possess improved properties, such that they are capable of oral administration. It is a particular aim of the present invention to produce oligosaccharide derivatives that not only have an increased stability in the gastrointestinal tract, but are able to cross the intestinal membrane so that they can be absorbed in the intestine. It is particularly desirable to produce oligosaccharide derivatives that are capable of crossing the intestinal membrane because they overcome the oral bioavailability problems associated with heparins, heparin analogues and LMWHs. An additional aim of the present invention is to produce oligosaccharide derivatives that are particularly suitable to be adapted for use in galenic formulations, which arises from their enhanced lipophilicity.
The figures show the absorption kinetic activity of exemplified compounds in plasma after Direct Intra Duodenal Injection, a process that is described in detail below. The compound numbers used in the figures corresponds to those examples described in the specification.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a compound, a salt, solvate or prodrug thereof comprising a pentasaccharide that is capable of acting as an anticoagulant and inhibiting factor Xa.
Anticoagulants in the heparin family, such as LMWHs, are negatively charged and hydrophilic, which causes restrictions on their clinical use. Anticoagulants, such as LMWHs, typically have a low oral bioavailability which makes them unsuitable for oral administration.
The compounds of the present invention contain a reduced number of sulfate groups, while retaining a pharmacological effect (i.e. anticoagulant activity). The hydrophilicity problems that are encountered when using anticoagulants in the heparin family have been overcome by substituting hydroxyl groups with hydrophobic groups. These substitutions reduce the hydrophilicity of the molecule making it more suitable for oral administration.

In a further aspect of the present invention, a pharmaceutical composition is provided comprising a pentasaccharide, as described in the present invention, and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
The present invention also provides a method of making a pharmaceutical composition, comprising mixing the pentasaccharide of the present invention with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
In a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided use of a pentasaccharide, as described in the present invention, in therapy.
In another aspect of the invention, there is provided the use of a pentasaccharide, as defined in the present invention, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a blood clotting disorder.
The present invention also provides a method of treating a blood clotting disorder in a human or animal subject comprising administering to the human or animal subject a therapeutically effective amount of a pentasaccharide, as defined in the present invention.
In another aspect of the invention, the medicament as described above, can be used for oral administration. Preferably, the method of treatment also involves oral administration.
Preferably, the blood clotting disorder is selected from: deep vein thromboembolism including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, post surgical prophylaxis of deep venous thrombosis, coronary syndromes, myocardial infarction and stroke.
The compounds of the present invention may also be present in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. For use in medicine, the salts of the compounds of this invention refer to non-toxic “pharmaceutically acceptable salts.” FDA approved pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms (Gould, P. L. International J. Pharm., 1986, 33, 201-217; Berge, S. M. et al. J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66(1), 1-19) include pharmaceutically acceptable acidic/anionic or basic/cationic salts.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the acidic or basic compounds of the invention can of course be made by conventional procedures, such as by reacting the free base or acid with at least a stoichiometric amount of the desired salt-forming acid or base.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the acidic compounds of the invention include salts with inorganic cations such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and ammonium, and salts with organic bases. Suitable organic bases include N-methyl-D-glucamine, arginine, benzathine, diolamine, olamine, procaine and tromethamine.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the basic compounds of the invention include salts derived from organic or inorganic acids. Suitable anions include acetate, adipate, besylate, bromide, camsylate, chloride, citrate, edisylate, estolate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hippurate, hyclate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, iodide, isethionate, lactate, lactobionate, maleate, mesylate, methylbromide, methylsulfate, napsylate, nitrate, oleate, pamoate, phosphate, polygalacturonate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, sulfosalicylate, tannate, tartrate, terephthalate, tosylate and triethiodide. Hydrochloride salts are particularly preferred.
The invention also comprehends derivative compounds (“pro-drugs”) which are degraded in vivo to yield the species of Formula (I). Pro-drugs are usually (but not always) of lower potency at the target receptor than the species to which they are degraded. Pro-drugs are particularly useful when the desired species has chemical or physical properties, which make its administration difficult or inefficient. For example, the desired species may be only poorly soluble, it may be poorly transported across the mucosal epithelium, or it may have an undesirably short plasma half-life. Further discussion of pro-drugs may be found in Stella, V. J. et al. “Prodrugs”, Drug Delivery Systems, 1985, 112-176, Drugs, 1985, 29, 455-473 and “Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.
The compounds described in the claims having an amino group may be derivatised with a ketone or an aldehyde such as formaldehyde to form a Mannich base. This will hydrolyse with first order kinetics in aqueous solution. In addition, the compounds described in the claims having one or more free hydroxy groups may be esterified in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable ester. This may be convertible, by solvolysis, under physiological conditions to the compounds of the present invention having free hydroxy groups.
Thus, in the methods of treatment of the present invention, the term “administering” shall encompass the treatment of the various disorders described with the compound specifically disclosed or with a compound which may not be specifically disclosed, but which converts to the specified compound in vivo after administration to the subject.
It is anticipated that the compounds of the invention can be administered by oral or parenteral routes, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, transdermal, rectal and topical administration, and inhalation. Oral administration of the compounds of the present invention is particularly preferred.
For oral administration, the compounds of the invention will generally be provided in the form of tablets or capsules or as an aqueous solution or suspension.
Tablets for oral use may include the active ingredient mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as inert diluents, disintegrating agents, binding agents, lubricating agents, sweetening agents, flavouring agents, colouring agents and preservatives. Suitable inert diluents include sodium and calcium carbonate, sodium and calcium phosphate and lactose. Corn starch and alginic acid are suitable disintegrating agents. Binding agents may include starch and gelatine. The lubricating agent, if present, will generally be magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. If desired, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
Capsules for oral use include hard gelatine capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with a solid diluent and soft gelatine capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.
For intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous use, the compounds of the invention will generally be provided in sterile aqueous solutions or suspensions, buffered to an appropriate pH and isotonicity. Suitable aqueous vehicles include Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride. Aqueous suspensions according to the invention may include suspending agents such as cellulose derivatives, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone and gum tragacanth, and a wetting agent such as lecithin. Suitable preservatives for aqueous suspensions include ethyl and n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may, in particular, comprise more than one compound (multiple) of the present invention, e.g., two or more compounds. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical preparation or system, comprising (a) a first compound, which is a compound of the invention; and (b) a second pharmaceutical compound. Said multiple compounds of the invention or said first and second compounds are formulated either in admixture or as separate compositions, e.g. for simultaneous though separate, or for sequential administration (see below).
The compounds of the present invention can be delivered directly or in pharmaceutical compositions containing excipients (see above), as is well known in the art. The present methods of treatment involve administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention to a subject.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” or “therapeutically effective dose” as used herein refers to an amount of a compound according to the present invention needed to: treat; ameliorate; prevent the targeted disease condition; exhibit a detectable therapeutic or preventative effect; prolong survival of a patient. Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such molecules can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., by determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio of toxic to therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, which can be expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50. Agents that exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred.
The therapeutically effective amount or therapeutically effective dose is the amount of the compound or pharmaceutical composition that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal, or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor, or other clinician. For example, anticoagulant activity and treatment of blood clotting disorders, e.g., deep vein thromboembolism including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, post surgical deep venous thrombosis, coronary syndromes, myocardial infarction, stroke, etc.
Dosages preferably fall within a range of circulating concentrations that includes the ED50 with little or no toxicity. Dosages may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and/or the route of administration utilised. The exact formulation, route of administration, dosage, and dosage interval should be chosen according to methods known in the art, in view of the specifics of a patient's condition.
Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active moiety that are sufficient to achieve the desired effects, i.e., minimal effective concentration (MEC). The MEC will vary for each compound but can be estimated from, for example, in vitro data and animal experiments. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the drug may not be related to plasma concentration.
In general, the therapeutically effective dose/amount can be estimated by using 30 conventional methods and techniques that are known in the art. Initial doses used in animal studies (e.g. non-human primates, mice, rabbits, dogs, or pigs) may be based on effective concentrations established in cell culture assays. The animal model may also be used to determine the appropriate concentration range and route of administration. Such information can then be used to determine useful doses and routes for administration in human patients.
The specific dosage level required for any particular patient will depend on a number of factors, including severity of the condition being treated, the route of administration, the general health of the patient (i.e. age, weight and diet), the gender of the patient, the time and frequency of administration, judgement of the prescribing physician and tolerance/response to therapy. In general, however, the daily dose (whether administered as a single dose or as divided doses) will be in the range 0.01 to 500 mg per day, more usually from 0.1 to 50 mg per day, and most usually from 1 to 10 mg per day. Alternatively, dosages can be administered per unit body weight and, in this instance, a typical dose will be between 0.001 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg, especially between 0.01 mg/kg and 0.2 mg/kg, between 0.02 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg.
An effective and convenient route of administration and an appropriate formulation of the compounds of the invention in pharmaceutical compositions (see above) may also be readily determined by routine experimentation. Various formulations and drug delivery systems are available in the art (see, e.g., Gennaro A R (ed.). Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. 21st edition. Jul. 3, 2005 and Hardman J G, Limbird L E, Alfred G. Gilman A G. Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. McGraw-Hill; 10th edition. Aug. 13, 2001).
As mentioned above, suitable routes of administration may, for example, include vaginal, rectal, intestinal, oral, nasal (intranasal), pulmonary or other mucosal, topical, transdermal, ocular, aural, and parenteral administration.
An advantage of the compounds of the present invention is that they are particularly suitable for oral administration.
Primary routes for parenteral administration include intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous administration. Secondary routes of administration include intraperitoneal, intra-arterial, intra-articular, intracardiac, intracisternal, intradermal, intralesional, intraocular, intrapleural, intrathecal, intrauterine, and intraventricular administration. The indication to be treated, along with the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the drug, dictate the type of formulation and the route of administration to be used, as well as whether local or systemic delivery would be preferred.
The present compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device containing one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. Such a pack or device may, for example, comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack, or glass and rubber stoppers such as in vials. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration. Compositions comprising an agent of the invention formulated in a compatible pharmaceutical carrier may also be prepared, placed in an appropriate container, and labelled for treatment of an indicated condition.
In addition to the above, the compounds of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in galenic formulations due to their lipophilicity. In their most basic form, galenic formulations typically involve mixing two compounds, one of which is poorly orally available, to form a formulation. The resultant mixture of compounds has an enhanced oral availability because the compounds are able to cross the intestinal membrane more efficiently due to their increased lipophilicity. However, galenic formulations are well known to the skilled person and the differences between such formulations and oral delivery per se is described in, for example, Motlekar, N. A. and al. Journal of Controlled Release 2006, 113, 91-101. Additionally, the skilled person would also be aware that galenic formulations could be used in conjunction with heparins and LMWHs, see Goldberg, M. and al., Nature reviews 2003, 2, 289-295, Bernkop-Schnürch, A. and al. Expert Opin. Drug Deliv. 2004, 1, 87-98, Bernkop-Schnürch, A. and al. Journal of Pharmaceutical Science 2005, 94 (5), 966-972 and Arbit, E. and al. Thrombosis Journal 2006, 4 (6), 1-25 (Emisphere technology) for example. Although these documents discuss the use of galenic formulations in conjunction with heparin and LMWHs, it has not been previously appreciated that they would be particularly advantageous if glaenic compositions are used with compounds similar to those of the present invention i.e. synthetic lipophilic oligosaccharides.
Formulaic representation of apparent orientation of a functional group is not necessarily intended to represent actual orientation. Thus, for example, a divalent amide group represented as C(O)NH is also intended to cover NHC(O).
In the interests of simplicity, terms which are normally used to refer to monovalent groups (such as “alkyl” or “alkenyl”) are also used herein to refer to divalent, trivalent or tetravalent bridging groups which are formed from the corresponding monovalent group by the loss of one or more hydrogen atom(s). Whether such a term refers to a monovalent group or to a polyvalent group will be clear from the context. Where a polyvalent bridging group is formed from a cyclic moiety, the linking bonds may be on any suitable ring atom, according to the normal rules of valency.
Where any particular moiety is substituted, for example an imidazole group comprising a substituent on the heteroaryl ring, unless specified otherwise, the term “substituted” contemplates all possible isomeric forms. For example, substituted imidazole includes all of the following permutations:
As used herein, the term “substituted” is contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this invention, heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and/or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valencies of the heteroatoms. This invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the permissible substituents of organic compounds.
The terms “comprising” and “comprises” means “including” as well as “consisting” e.g. a composition “comprising” X may consist exclusively of X or may include something additional e.g. X+Y.
The word “substantially” does not exclude “completely” e.g. a composition which is “substantially free” from Y may be completely free from Y. Where necessary, the word “substantially” may be omitted from the definition of the invention.
“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event of circumstances may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not.
“May” means that the subsequently described event of circumstances may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not.
Where the compounds according to this invention have at least one chiral centre, they may accordingly exist as enantiomers. Where the compounds possess two or more chiral centres, they may additionally exist as diastereomers. Where the processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention give rise to mixture of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form or individual enantiomers may be prepared by standard techniques known to those skilled in the art, for example, by enantiospecific synthesis or resolution, formation of diastereomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically active acid, followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. The compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary. Alternatively, the compounds may be resolved using a chiral HPLC column. It is to be understood that all such isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
Where a group comprises two or more moieties defined by a single carbon atom number, for example, C2-20-alkoxyalkyl, the carbon atom number indicates the total number of carbon atoms in the group.
As used herein, the term “lipophilic delivery moiety” is used to refer to a radical that corresponds to a lipophilic delivery agent. Preferably, a lipophilic delivery agent is selected from the group consisting of: bile acids, sterols, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory or compounds such as sodium N-[10-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino] decanoate (SNAD) and sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino] caprylate (SNAC).
As used herein, the term “lipophilic” refers to a moiety that has a partition co-efficient octanol/water that is greater than or equal to that of n-butane.
As used herein, the term “bile acid” includes moieties that are produced in the liver by the oxidation of cholesterol, conjugated (with either the amino acid taurine or glycine, or a sulfate, or a glucuronide) and are stored in the gallbladder. Typical examples of bile acids include cholic acid, taurocholic acid, glycocholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and chenodeoxycholic acid. In the present invention, deoxycholic acid is a particularly preferred bile acid.
As used herein, the term “sterol” preferably refers to compounds that fall within a subgroup of steroids and are amphipathic lipids synthesised from acetyl-coenzyme A. The sterols used in the present invention can be sterols of plants (i.e. phytosterols, such as campesterol, sitosterol, and stigmasterol), or they can be sterols of animals (i.e. zoosterols, such as cholesterol and some steroid hormones). A preferable sterol used in the present invention is cholesterol.
As used herein, the term “non-steroidal anti-inflammatory” preferably refers to compounds that are non-competitive inhibitors of calcium-activated chloride currents. For example, a suitable non-steroidal anti-inflammatory is niflumic acid.
As used herein, the term “protecting group” refers to functional groups that are well known to the skilled person and are described in “Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis” 3rd Edition T. W. Greene and P. G. Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, 1999. For example, benzyloxycarbonyl, which can be removed by acidolysis with strong acids or by catalytic hydrogenation producing carbon dioxide and toluene as side products, is a common amine protecting group. An alternative amine protecting group is tert-butoxy carbonyl (BOC), which can be removed by treatment with an acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrogen chloride in an organic solvent such as dichloromethane.
The skilled person will appreciate that, in addition to protecting nitrogen atoms of amines, as discussed above, it may be necessary to protect, and deprotect, other functional groups with suitable protecting groups, such as, for example, hydroxy groups. Methods for deprotection of any particular protecting group will depend on the protecting group that is used and the functional group that is being protected.

In addition where a carboxyl group —COOH is deprotonated to give the anionic —COO− group, this deprotonation is one that can occur at physiological pH. Moreover, charged salts of the molecules of the invention are encompassed. Saccharide rings can exist in an open and closed form, while closed forms are shown herein, open forms are also encompassed by the invention.
Certain compounds of the invention exist in various regioisomeric, enantiomeric, tautomeric and diastereomeric forms. It will be understood that the invention comprehends the different regioisomers, enantiomers, tautomers and diastereomers in isolation from each other as well as mixtures.
The counter-ions, which compensate the charged forms of the compounds of the present invention, are pharmaceutically acceptable counter-ions such as hydrogen, or more preferably alkali or alkali-earth metals ions, which include sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Other ‘compound’ group definitions will be readily understandable by the skilled person based on the previous definitions and the usual conventions of nomenclature.
It will be appreciated that any optional feature that has been described above in relation to any one aspect of the invention may also be applicable to any other aspect of the invention.

To a dry round-bottom flask was added under nitrogen both acceptor and donor in a mixture of dichloromethane/diethyl ether (1/1 or 1:2, 0.1 eq./acceptor) containing 4 A molecular sieves (1 weight eq./acceptor). After stirring for 1 h, temperature was cooled down to −20° C. and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate or tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.2 eq. vs donor) was added. After an additional 3 h, TLC analysis indicated that the reaction went to completion.

Methanol (10 eq./sulphur trioxide pyridine complex eq.) was added dropwise, followed by addition of a saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution (to reach pH 9). After stirring overnight at room temperature, the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was directly applied to the top of a sephadex LH-20 column eluted with dimethylformide. Fractions containing the product were pooled together and the solvent was concentrated under vacuum to afford the sulphated pentasaccharide.

Method O: General Method for Acylation with a Succinimide Reagent
A succinimide reagent (1.5 molar equivalents/NH2 group) and a solution of diisopropylethylamine 0.2M/DMF (1.5 molar equivalent/NH2 group) was added to a solution of pentasaccharide (1 molar equivalent) in anhydrous DMF (100 L/mol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. After this time, a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 was added to the reaction mixture (25 L/pentasaccharide mol). After the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h, it was filtered and poured onto either a Sephadex LH-20 column (320 mL) equilibrated with DMF, or onto a Sephadex G25F column (3 L/mmol, 0.2 N NaCl). The combined fractions were concentrated and desalted on a Sephadex G25F column (water) to give the acylated pentasaccharide.
Method P: General Method for Acylation with an Anhydride Reagent
Triethylamine (1.5 molar equivalents) and an anhydride reagent (1.2 molar equivalents) was added to a solution of pentasaccharide (1 molar equivalent) in anhydrous DMF (100 L/mol) that was cooled at 0° C. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 h, a 0.1M aqueous solution of NaOH (66 L/pentasaccharide mol) was added and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for a further 16 h. It was then filtered and either directly poured onto a Sephadex LH-20 column (320 mL) equilibrated with DMF, or poured onto a Sephadex G25F column (3 L/mmol, 0.2 N NaCl). The combined fractions were concentrated and desalted on a Sephadex G25F column (water) to the give the acylated pentasaccharide.
A similar reaction can be performed in a pyridine/anhydride mixture.
Method Q: General Method for Acylation with an Acyl Chloride Reagent
Triethylamine (10 molar equivalents) and an acyl chloride reagent (5 molar equivalents) were added to a solution of pentasaccharide (1 molar equivalent) in anhydrous DMF (100 L/mol). After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 h, a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 was added (30 L/pentasaccharide mol). The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for a further 16 h. It was then filtered and the solution was either directly poured onto a Sephadex LH-20 column (320 mL) equilibrated with DMF, or poured onto a Sephadex G25F column (3 L/mmol, 0.2 N NaCl). The combined fractions were concentrated and desalted on a Sephadex G25F column (water) to the give the acylated pentasaccharide.
NaH 60%/oil (5 molar equivalents/OH) was added to a solution of pentasaccharide (1 molar equivalent) in DMF (100 L/mol) at 0° C. After the mixture was stirred for 10 min, an alkylating agent (15 molar equivalents) was added and the solution was stirred at room temperature for a further 16 h. It was then neutralized with methanol, stirred for 2 h and directly poured onto a Sephadex LH-20 column (320 mL) equilibrated with DMF to give the alkylated and esterified product.
The resultant compound was then dissolved in a methanol/THF mixture (ratio 1:2, 150 L/pentasaccharide mol) and a 2M aqueous solution of KOH (50 L/pentasaccharide mol) was added dropwise. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h, a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 was added (100 L/pentasaccharide mol). The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for a further 16 h. It was then filtered and the solution was directly poured onto a Sephadex LH-20 column (320 mL) equilibrated with DMF to the give the alkylated and saponified pentasaccharide.
A sulfur trioxide pyridine complex (5 molar eq./OH) was added to a solution of pentasaccharide (1 molar equivalent) in anhydrous pyridine (77 L/mol). The mixture was heated at 80° C. with protection from light for 16 h. After cooling to 0° C., the solution was neutralized with methanol (40 molar eq./PyrSO3) and stirred for 2 h. After this time, a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 was added (30 L/pentasaccharide mol). The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for a further 16 h. It was then filtered and the solution was either directly poured onto a Sephadex LH-20 column (320 mL) equilibrated with DMF, or poured onto a Sephadex G25F column (3 L/mmol, 0.2 N NaCl). The combined fractions were concentrated and desalted on a Sephadex G25F column (water) to the give the sulfated pentasaccharide.
A solution of pentasaccharide (1 molar equivalent) in 1:1 tert-butanol/water mixture (0.1 mL/mg) was stirred under hydrogen in the presence of Pd(OH)2/C catalyst (20%, 0.5 weight equivalent) for 48 h and filtered through Celite® 45 and PTFE millipore membrane. The solution was concentrated to dryness to give the hydrogenolysed product.

It will be understood that a variety of assays are suitable for testing the biological activity of the compounds of the present invention. However, suitable methods for testing the biological activity of the compounds of the present invention are listed below.
IC50 values of compounds were determined by their anti-factor Xa activity using a Stachrom HP kit (Diagnostica Stago). This assay was carried out on a STA Compact (Diagnostica Stago).
The anti-factor-Xa activity was determined by the same way that it has been for fondaparinux, which was used as standard (see below).
Fondaparinux+AT (excess)→[Fondaparinux·AT] 1.
[Fondaparinux·AT]+fXa (excess)→[Fondaparinux·AT·fXa]+fXa (remaining) 2.
Chromogenic substrate→Peptide+pNA 3.
Fondaparinux was analysed as a complex with Antithrombin (AT) present in the sample. The concentration of this complex was dependent on availability of AT. In order to obtain a more constant concentration of AT, purified AT was added to the test plasma. factor Xa (in excess) was neutralized in proportion to the amount of fondaparinux, which determine the amount of [Fondaparinux·AT] complex. The remaining amount of fXa hydrolyzed the chromogenic substrate thus liberating the chromophoric group, pNA. The colour was then read photometrically at 405 nm.
Rat plasmatic concentration of compounds (μg compound/mL plasma) was determined by their anti-factor Xa activity using factor Xa activity using a Stachrom HP kit (Diagnostica Stago) as described above. This assay was carried out on a STA Compact (Diagnostica Stago). A specific standard curve was preformed with each compound which was quantified in rat plasma.
Rat plasmatic concentration of compounds of the present invention was determined by anti factor Xa activity as described previously.
The compounds were prepared in solution ready for oral and intravenous administration, and the doses were varied. In human, oral administration is the preferred route administration.
The pharmacokinetics of the compounds of the present invention were investigated in female Wistar Han rats.
Rat blood (9 volumes) was mixed with sodium citrate (1 volume) and preferably cooled immediately on ice to minimize release of heparin antagonists from blood cells. As soon as possible after collection, the sample was subjected to a centrifugation at 3000×g for 10 minutes at low temperature (the plasma is typically stable for 24 h at temperature below 8° C.) and stored frozen at −20° C.
The Rat plasmatic concentration of compounds (μg compound/mL plasma) was determined by their anti-factor Xa activity using factor Xa activity as described above.
Pharmacokinetic Study of Compounds with Direct Intra Duodenal Injection:
Direct Intra Duodenal Injection (DIDI) has been used on the Wistar Han rats to estimate the ability of the compounds to cross the intestinal membrane. A laparatomy was performed on anesthetized rats in which the duodenum was exposed in order to inject a compound directly into the lumen of the intestine. This non survival surgical method allowed the compound to bypass the stomach.
Rats have been placed on their caudal side with their abdomen exposed and their head held downward to the facemask. The body temperature was maintained at 38° C. Fur was removed from approximately 150% larger that the area of the incision and loose fur should be carefully dusted away in order to prevent translocation into the incision. The intestine was exposed through a midline abdominal incision using a #20 blade and the upper small intestine i.e. the duodenum was isolated. A small pore was performed using a high temperature cautery fine tip unit 1-2 cm to the beginning of the duodenum and a flexible catheter was passed inside the hole into the duodenal lumen. After tubing with the flexible catheter, the duodenum was closed by clipping with a forceps. A syringe containing the drug solution (2 mg/kg BW) was placed onto the flexible catheter and the syringe's plunger was slowly depressed releasing the material into the duodenum. At this step, a two-layer closure in needed in which the body wall was closed separately from the skin using silk suture #4.0.
To collect blood into the tail vein, a disposable catheter was inserted by directing the needle into the vein. Blood was collected into citrate tubes (1 vol of citrate/9 vol of blood). The following general blood sampling schemes were commonly used in DIDI: 0′, 5′, 15′, 30′, 60′, 90′ and 120′). Plasmas were collected by centrifugation at 3500 rpm, 4° C., and stored frozen at =20° C.
The Rat plasmatic concentration of compounds (μg compound/mL plasma) was determined by their anti-factor Xa activity using factor Xa activity as described above.
A gastric-intestinal stability assay has been performed in simulated fluids and the quantification has been performed with the anti-factor Xa assay as described above. The composition of the reconstituted fluid was comparable to the fluid that could be found in stomach and intestine of mammalians:
Study has been performed at 37° C. and samples were taken as a function of time every 30 min for a period of 3 h. The reaction was stopped by addition of 1M sodium bicarbonate to reach a pH of 7.2 for the SGF and by snap freezing at −20° C. for the SIR
