Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to novel bis(platinum) (IV) complexes, methods for their preparation, and methods for their use as pharmacological agents, in particular, for treatment of cancer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The clinical use of platinum complexes such as cisplatin and carboplatin in cancer chemotherapy is well established in the art. A number of platinum complexes, such as PLATINOL.RTM., a registered trademark of cisplatin manufactured by Bristol Myers, Co., are used to treat testicular, ovarian, head and neck, and small-cell lung carcinomas. However, treatment with cisplatin may result in severe nephrotoxicity. A further clinical disadvantage is the problem of acquired drug resistance resulting in the minor becoming refractory to treatment by the agent.
To overcome the nephrotoxic effects of cisplatin, a second-generation analog, carboplatin, was developed. PARAPLATIN.RTM. is a registered trademark for carboplatin manufactured by Bristol-Myers, Co. Carboplatin, or [Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.2 (CBDCA)] (where CBDCA is 1,1'cyclobutanedicarboxylate), is effective against the same spectrum of carcinomas as cisplatin, but exhibits a marked reduction in the nephrotoxic effects.
A number of different platinum compounds have been developed in an attempt to treat different tumors or carcinomas. For instance, U.S. Pat. No. 4,225,529 discloses the use of a cis coordination compound of platinum having four ligands which are selected :from the group consisting of halides, sulphates, phosphates, nitrates, carboxylates, and same or different straight-chain amines which are coordinated to the platinum atom through their nitrogen atoms. These complexes are used for treating L-1210 leukemia in mice.
Also, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,250,189, 4,553,502, and 4,565,884 relate to various Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes having antitumor activity. These bis(platinum) complexes are linked with a carboxylate linkage such that upon administration of these complexes to the patient, the complexes undergo rapid hydrolysis to produce two cis monoplatinum moieties which are then delivered to the active site.
Additionally, PCT WO 88/00947, which corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 4,797,393, discloses a his(platinum) complex which is delivered intact to the active site. This his(platinum) complex has a bridging diamine or polyamine ligand and has primary or secondary amines or pyridine type nitrogens attached to the platinum complex, as well as two different or identical ligands which may be a halide, sulphate, phosphate, nitrate, carboxylate, substituted carboxylate or dicarboxylate. PCT WO 88/00947 also relates to bis(platinum) complexes wherein the platinum moleties are linked by a diamine bridging agent, and wherein the platinum moieties are attached to ionic and neutral groups such that the net charge on the two platinum coordination spheres is 2+ or 1+.
However, critical problems still exist which limit the effective use of platinum complexes as therapeutics, most especially their narrow spectrum of activity against different tumors and the development of tumor cells which are resistant to the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin. (Loehrer et at., Ann, Intern, Med., (1984), 100, 704-711). For a general review relating to available platinum analogs, see, Christian, Michael, Seminars in Oncology, (1992), 19, 720-733.
It is generally believed that platinum complexes such as cisplatin manifest their biological activity through covalent interaction with DNA. In particular, cisplatin induces the formation of a range of adducts on DNA including monodentate adducts, bidentate adducts, such as GG or AG, and GNG intrastrand crosslinks. (Reedijk et al., Structure and Bonding, (1987), 67, 53-89). To a lesser extent, cisplatin also results in interstrand GG crosslinks and DNA-protein crosslinks. (Rahmouni et al., Biochemistry, (1987), 26, 7229-7234). These DNA lesions result in conformational changes which are reflected in bending and local unwinding of the DNA. These DNA lesions have been reported to inhibit the activity of various DNA polymerases. (Vallan et at., Nucl. Acids Res., (1988), 16, 4407-4418; Pinto et at., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci, (1985), 82, 4616-4619; and Gralla et al., Cancer Res., (1987), 47, 5092-5096). The interstrand crosslink between two neighboring guanine bases has also been shown to inhibit RNA polymerase function. (Lemaire et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (1991), 88, 1982-1985). Accordingly, the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin are most likely attributable to the combined effects of these separate DNA lesions, rather than the result of any one specific lesion event.
Mono(platinum) and bis(platinum) complexes respectively containing one or two platinum atoms are known in the art. (See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,225,529, 4,250,189, 4,533,502, 4,565,884, 4,571,335 and 4,797,393). For example, mono(platinum) complexes include monomeric chloramine square-planar Pt(II) compounds which are four coordinate. The relative number of chloride and ammonia groups in such compounds may vary and these compounds may therefore be described by the general formula:
[PtCl.sub.m (NH.sub.3).sub.4-m ].sup.(2-m)+
Thus, the structure of these compounds may vary from [Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.4 ].sup.2+ where m=0 to PtCl.sub.4.sup.2- where m=4. Since Cl is more substitution labile in comparison to ammonia, the complexes [PtCl.sub.2 (NH.sub.3).sub.2 ] and [PtCl(NH.sub.3).sub.3 ]Cl are considered bifunctional and monofunctional respectively, wherein the bi and mono prefixes refer to the number of leaving ligands. The charge of the complex is determined by the fact that the Pt(II) cation has a formal charge of +2 and thus requires a negative charge of -2 for charge neutralization. For example, when m=0, neutralization is provided by the presence of two non-coordinating anions, such as chloride anions.
Coordinate bond formation results in electron pairing in the Pt-Cl bond. However, since the ammonia ligand is considered to be neutral, the bonding may be described as electron-pair donation from NH.sub.3 to the empty orbitals on the Pt(II) atom. Thus, no electron sharing between the Pt and NH.sub.3 group takes place. Because of this absence of electron sharing, the number of neutral ligands does not affect the overall charge in the Pt coordination sphere. Thus, [Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.4 ].sup.2+ is formally a 2+ cation requiring a non-coordinating anion or anions, or counter-anions, having a net negative charge of 2- for neutralization of the complex. For example, neutralization can be provided by two mononegatively charged anions (e.g., NO.sub.3.sup.-, Cl.sup.-, PF.sub.6.sup.-, BF.sub.4.sup.-, and monocarboxylates having the general formula RCOO.sup.-) or a single dinegatively charged anion (e.g., SO.sub.4.sup.2-, dicarboxylates having the general formula. (RCOO).sub.2.sup.3-). Therefore, [PtCl.sub.2 (NH.sub.3).sub.2 ] is a neutral complex. Moreover, in some cases, Pt(II) anions may serve as counteranions. An example is the well known Magnus salt [Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.4 ].sup.2+ [PtCl.sub.4 ].sup.2-.
It is noted that anionic ligands such as Cl.sup.- may be either coordinately bound (i.e., forming a Pt-Cl bond) or may act as a counter-anion without any need for covalent bond formation. The exact form that anions such as Cl.sup.- are present in a given platinum complex depends both on theoretical considerations (kinetic vs. thermodynamic effects) and the :actual synthetic procedures utilized to make the complex (e.g., the extent of reaction, acidity, concentration of the particular anion, such as the concentration Cl.sup.- which is contained in the reaction mixture). These considerations are applicable to other anionic and neutral ligands as well.
The fact that the overall charge of monoplatinum complexes depends on the relative number of neutral and anionic ligands which are bound to the Pt(H) metal, e.g., NH.sub.3 and Cl.sup.- ligands, is also applicable for polynuclear complexes (which contain more than one Pt(II) coordinate spheres), and for Pt(IV) containing complexes wherein the oxidation state of the platinum moiety is 4+. For example, dinuclear complexes where two equivalent Pt(II) coordination spheres are linked by a diamine bridging agent may be represented by the general formula [{PtCl.sub.m (NH.sub.3).sub.3-m }.sub.2 (diamine)].sup.2(2-m)+. Thus, when m=2, and two bifunctional coordination spheres are present, the compound is neutral. In contrast, when m=1, only monofunctional coordination spheres are present and the Pt moiety has a formal charge of 2+ which must be counterbalanced by one or more counter-anions having a net charge of 2-.
In spite of the foregoing, there remains a long-felt need in the art to develop a cancer therapeutic agent which provides platinum complexes having improved solubility together with well established chemical reproducibility and characterization.

It is still another specific object of the invention to provide a method for synthesizing bis(platinum) (IV) complexes of the formula (I).
The subject bis(platinum) (IV) complexes, by virtue of their water solubility, provide for enhanced cytotoxic activity relative to currently available bis(platinum) (IV) complexes.

The water soluble bis(platinum) (IV) complexes of the present invention will preferably be synthesized by the following procedure. The preparation of the bis(platinum) (IV) compounds of the present invention can be accomplished by reacting a compound of formula II: ##STR4## wherein X, Y, A and B are as previously described above, with an appropriate acylating or sulfonilating agent in a suitable solvent, such as dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, N-methylacetamide, mixtures thereof, and the like, with the acylating agent used as a solvent.
Suitable acylating agents include anhydrides of the formula:
Z.sub.1 --O--Z.sub.1
wherein Z.sub.1 is --CO--R or --C(O)OR; acyl or sulfonyl chlorides of the formula:
Z.sub.2 --Cl
wherein Z.sub.2 is a group selected among --CO--R, --C(O)OR and --SO.sub.2 R, wherein R is as previously defined above. The platinum complexes of formula II can be prepared by following the procedures reported in PCT WO 88/00947.
The bis(platinum) (IV) complexes of the present invention are intended for use in pharmaceutical compositions. Given the water solubility of the bis(platinum) (IV) complexes, the complexes of the present invention should exhibit greater cytotoxic activity than currently available platinum complexes. The relatively high solubility in water is most advantageous for antitumor agents, since it permits administration in a concentrated solution, i.e., in a small volume of injection or infusion vehicle. This can be particularly advantageous where it is desirable to administer the antitumor agent in the vicinity of a tumor location, e.g., by intravenous or intraarterial administration over a relatively short period of time for maximum impact at the tumor site. Further, the ready solubility in water of the bis(platinum) (IV) complexes of the present invention is advantageous for oral administration. Depending on the stability, the potency, the bioavailability and the side effects of a particular compound, and the like, oral administration may be indicated.
The subject complexes are useful for treatment of the identical diseases and conditions for which cisplatin is used. This includes the treatment of tumors, radiation sensitization or potentiation (Douple et al, Cisplatin Current Status and Developments, Eds. A. W. Prestayk et al, Academic Press, 125 (1980); Douple et al, Platinum Metals Res., (1985), 29, 118), and treatment of parasitic diseases such as sleeping sickness (Farrell et al, Biochem. Pharmacol., (1984), 33, 961). The complexes of the present invention will preferably be administered at the same dosage levels of cisplatin, while taking into account the LD.sub.50 value of the particular bis(platinum) (IV) complex.
Generally, the bis(platinum) (IV) complex will be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. For example, the complex and carrier may be formulated for parenteral or oral administration by methods well known in the art. For instance, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences for suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and formulation methods.
Given the structure and water: solubility of the bis(platinum) (IV) complexes of the present invention, these complexes would be useful in the treatment of ovarian, head and neck, and small cell lung cancers, parasitic disorders and other conditions wherein platinum complexes find current therapeutic usage. The therapeutic efficacy of a particular bis(platinum) (IV) complex will be evaluated by standard methods. For example, the cytotoxic activity of a particular bis(platinum) (IV) complex may be evaluated in vitro based on its cytotoxicity against L1210 cancer cells, P388 cancer cells, or L1210 or P388 cancer cells resistant to cisplatin. The L1210 assay, in particular, is an accepted method for screening platinum complexes for therapeutic activity.
Those bis(platinum) (IV) complexes which exhibit cytotoxic activity, e.g., against L1210 cells, will then be tested in animals, e.g., nude mice containing implanted human tumors. Those bis(platinum) (IV) complexes which exhibit in vivo activity without substantial adverse effects (e.g., nephrotoxicity) would be then tested clinically in humans.
In order to fully illustrate the present invention and the advantages thereof, the following specific examples are given, it being understood that these examples are intended only to be illustrative without serving as a limitation on the scope of the present invention.
The preparation of a bis(platinum) (IV) compound of the present invention is shown schematically supra.. The actual experimental procedures used to synthesize the following compounds of the present invention are described as follows:
