TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to novel DNA-cleaving, cytotoxic and anti-tumor compounds, and particularly to fused ring systems that contain an enediyne macrocyclic ring and also an epoxide ring, as well as chimeras that contain such a fused ring system.
BACKGROUND ART
Dynemicin A (Compound 1 shown below), ##STR1## where Me is methyl, is a potent antibacterial and anticancer agent recently isolated from Micromonospora chersina [(a) Konishi et. al, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:3715-3716 (1990); (b) Konishi et al., J. Antibiot., 42:1449-1452 (1989)]. Its striking molecular structure combines characteristics of both the enediyne [Golik et al., J. Am. Chem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
I. The Compounds
A compound of the invention contains an enediyne macrocycle linked to a fused ring that corresponds to structural Formula I ##STR7##
wherein A is a double or single bond;
R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, phenoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl, substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl (particularly a substituted ethoxycarbonyl where the substituent is phenylsulfonyl or naphthylsulfonyl with phenylsulfonyl most particularly preferred), o-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl and 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl;
R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of H, carboxyl, hydroxylmethyl and carbonyloxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl;
R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of H and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy;
R.sup.4 is selected from the group consisting of H, hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, oxyacetic acid (--OCH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 H), C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl or benzyl oxyacetic acid ester, oxyacetic amide, oxyethanol (--OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH), oxyimidazylthiocarbonyl and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy;
R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are each H or together with the intervening vinylene group form a one, two or three fused aromatic six-membered ring system;
W together with the bonded, intervening, vinylene group (i.e., the unsaturated carbon atoms bonded to W) forms a substituted aromatic hydrocarbyl ring system containing 1, 2 or 3 six-membered rings such that said fused ring compound contains 3, 4 or 5 fused 6-membered rings all but two of which rings are aromatic, and in which that aromatic hydrocarbyl ring system, W, is joined [a, b] to the structure shown; and
R.sup.8 is hydrogen or methyl with the proviso that R.sup.8 is hydrogen when W together with the intervening vinylidene group is 9,10-dioxoanthra.
Exemplary R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 groups are shown in Scheme III and are discussed in relation thereto, and thereafter.
As noted above, the bond, A, between the R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 substituents can be a double or single bond. The bond A is preferably a single bond.
A C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, as can be present in R.sup.1 is exemplified by methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, pentyl, 2-methylpentyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl and the like. A substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group is also contemplated as an R.sup.1 group. Such substituted alkyl groups include hydroxyalkyl groups such as 2-hydroxyethyl, 4-hydroxyhexyl and 3-hydroxypropyl, haloalkyl groups such as 2-chlorobutyl, 3-halopentyl such as 3-fluoropentyl, and the like. The above C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl and substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups are further contemplated as the C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl portion of a carbonyloxy C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group of R.sup.2 ; i.e., a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl ester of a R.sup.2 carboxyl group, and of a R.sup.1 urethane group. Those same alkyl groups can constitute the alkyl portion of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group of R.sup.3 or R.sup.4. A C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy group as is present in R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 (discussed hereinafter) is a carboxylic acid derivative of an appropriate alkyl group, above, except for, for example, cyclohexyl and iso-propyl, and is limited to a cyclopentylcarboxyl group for the cyclopentane derivatives. Examples of such C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy groups include formyloxy, acetoxy, propionoxy, butyryloxy, isobutyryloxy, pentanoyloxy, 2-methylbutyryloxy, pivaloyloxy, hexanoyloxy, and the like.
The alcohol-carbonyl portion of a urethane R.sup.1 is typically formed by the reaction of a corresponding halo formate derivative, such as a chloroformate like phenylchloroformate, with the secondary amine nitrogen atom that is formed by addition of an acetylenic group-containing moiety to the 6-position or a correspondingly numbered position of a fused ring system such as that shown in Scheme II hereinafter. Such groups can also be prepared by base-catalyzed exchange from a formed carbamate using the substituted ethyl alcohol as is illustrated hereinafter.
Exemplary C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl groups and substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl groups contain a before-described C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group or substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group linked to the carbonyl group and can be formed by reaction of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylchloroformate. Exemplary substituted ethoxycarbonyl groups that are a particularly preferred group of substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl group have a substituent other than hydrogen at the 2-position of the ethoxy group, and include 2-trimethylsilylethoxycarbonyl, 2-phenylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl, .alpha.- or .beta.-2-naphthylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl, .alpha.- or .beta.-2-anthracylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl, 2-propenoxycarbonyl, 2-hydroxyethoxycarbonyl, 2-triphenylphosphoniumethoxycarbonyl halide (e.g., chloride, bromide or iodide) and 2-trimethylammoniumethoxycarbonyl halide (as before).
It is particularly preferred that R.sup.1 be a group that can be enzymatically or otherwise removed intracellularly to provide the resulting secondary amine free of a substituent group. A compound where R.sup.1 contains a 2-substituted-ethoxycarbonyl group such as a 2-phenylsulfonyl-, 2-naphthylsulfonyl- and 2-anthracylsulfonyl- as are shown in Scheme III (shown as R.sub.1 therein) can form the free secondary amine compound via a .beta.-elimination under relatively mild conditions. An ethoxy carbonyl group can also be named an ethylene oxycarbonyl group. Phenylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl, .alpha.-naphthyl- and .beta.-naphthylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl (collectively referred to as naphthylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl) are particularly preferred R.sup.1 groups, with phenoxycarboxyl being a preferred R.sup.1 group. When an R.sup.1 group is o-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, UV light-irradiation (about 290-400 nm) provides cleavage of that group from a fused ring system, thereby providing a free amine group.
An R.sup.8 group can be methyl or hydrogen with the proviso that R.sup.8 is hydrogen when W along with the intervening vinylene group carbon atoms forms a 9,10-dioxoanthra ring. It is particularly preferred that R.sup.8 be methyl when W forms a benzo ring.
R.sup.4 groups that are hydrogen, hydroxyl, oxyethanol (--OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH), oxyacetic acid (--OCH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 H), oxyacetic C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl esters such as the before-discussed C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups such as ethyl oxyacetate (--OCH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3), as well as C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 unsaturated esters such as the allyl, propargyl, 2-butenyl and the like, as well as the benzyl ester and oxyacetic amides constitute particularly preferred embodiments of the invention. Exemplary C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 and benzyl esters that have been prepared; i.e., Compounds 24a-g exhibited activity against MIA PaCa-2 tumor cells.
A pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salt of the oxyacetic acid such as sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium and magnesium is also contemplated. An oxyacetic acid amide corresponds to the chemical formula --OCH.sub.2 CONR.sup.13 R.sup.14 wherein R.sup.13 is hydrogen (H) or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl (as before) and R.sup.14 is independently hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, phenyl, 1- or 2-naphthyl, 1- or 2-anthryl, or a peptide having 1 to about six amino acid residues; or R.sup.13 and R.sup.14 together with the nitrogen atom form a 5-or 6-membered ring as is present in pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, imidazole or pyrrole.
A particularly contemplated peptide is distamycin, or a derivative thereof as discussed in Taylor et al., Tetrahedron, 40:457 (1984) and Baker et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 111:2700 (1989). Distamycin derivatives are themselves known DNA-cleaving agents. Indeed, a N-bromoacetyldistamycin adduct of Compound 2 has been prepared.
Another particularly preferred peptide is -Ala-Ala-Ala-, [(-Ala-).sub.3 ] which sequence is recognized and cleaved by an intracellular lysosomal enzyme. Further suitable peptide linkers that are cleaved enzymatically in vivo are well known to skilled workers. See, for example, Reisfeld et al., Human Cancer Immunology II, 11(2):341 (1991) and the citations therein. So-called acid-cleavable linkers such as cis-aconitate and the like as are also well known can also be used along or in conjunction with a cleavable peptide linker. See for example, Reisfeld et al., Human Cancer Immunology II, 11(2): 341 (1991) and Mueller et al., Bioconjugate Chem., 2:325 (1990), and the citations therein.
Appropriate diamine and dicarboxylic acid groups can be added at the carboxy- and amino-termini of the peptides or acid labile linkers, respectively, to join the fused ring enediyne to the Mab, as is discussed below. Exemplary diamines are the .alpha.,.omega.-C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkylene diamines such as ethylene diamine, 1,3-propylene diamines and 1,6-hexylene diamine. Exemplary .alpha.,.omega.-C.sub.4 -C.sub.6 dicarboxylic acids include succinic, maleic, glutaric and adipic acids.
An R.sup.4 group that contains a derivatized oxyacetic acid amide or ester can also include a peptidyl spacer containing zero to about 6 residues such as (-Ala-).sub.3 that links the compound to a monoclonal antibody or an antibody binding site portion thereof, collectively referred to herein as a "Mab", as is illustrated in relation to Scheme III hereinafter (R or R.sub.3). An R.sup.5 group as discussed in detail hereinafter as a substituent of W as in a compound of Formula XIb can also constitute a useful spacer for bonding to a Mab.
The Mab utilized immunoreacts substantially only with target tumor cells; i.e., is tumor cell specific, and thereby provides further specificity to the drug molecules. Such a Mab-linked fused ring enediyne is one type of chimeric molecule of the invention.
The spacer portion of the compound-Mab construct serves to link the two portions of the molecule together. When there are zero peptide residues present, a lysine epsilon-amino group of the Mab forms the amido bond shown in Scheme III bonded to an R.sub.3 group as spacer. The spacer peptide chain, when present, is typically comprised of amino acid residues having small side chains such as glycine or alanine, or relatively hydrophilic side chains such as serine, glutamine and aspartic acid. A peptide spacer is typically free of cysteine residues, but can contain cystine residues and otherwise can have substantially any structure that does not interfere with bonding between the two portions of the chimeric compound. A peptide can be prepared by an one of several synthetic methods as are well known. A particularly preferred peptide spacer includes an amine acid residue sequence that is recognized and cleaved by an enzyme such as lysosomal or other proteolytic enzyme present within a target neoplastic cell so that the fused ring enediyne can be freed from the Mab after endocytosis, as is well known.
The Mab portion of the above chimeric construct can constitute an intact antibody molecule of IgG or IgM isotype, in which case, a plurality of compounds can be present per antibody molecule. The binding site portions of an antibody can also be utilized, in which case, at least one compound is linked to the proteinaceous antibody binding site portion.
An antibody binding site portion is that part of an antibody molecule that immunoreacts with an antigen, and is also sometimes referred to as a paratope. Exemplary antibody binding site portions include F(ab), F(ab'), F(ab').sub.2 and F.sub.v portions of an intact antibody molecule, and can be prepared by well known methods. An intact monoclonal antibody and a portion that includes its antibody combining site portion can be collectively referred to as a paratope-containing molecule.
Exemplary anti-tumor Mabs are noted in the table below, listed by the name utilized in a publication, along with its deposit accession number at the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), 12301 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Md. 20852 U.S.A., and the tumor antigen with which the Mab paratope is reported to react. A citation to a discussion of each Mab and its immunoreactivity is provided by the footnote under the antigen listing.

A fused ring enediyne compound of the invention can also be glycosidically linked to a sugar moiety to form a second type chimeric molecule. In such a chimer, the fused ring enediyne compound takes the place of the aglycone as in an antibiotic molecule such as doxorubicin, calicheamicin or esperamicin, with the sugar moiety taking the place of the oligosaccharide portion. Bonding between the fused ring enediyne compound aglycone and oligosaccharide is typically via a hydroxyl group of a spacer group that is itself linked to the fused ring enediyne through a reacted hydroxyl group. A preferred spacer group is an oxyethanol group that can be an R.sup.4 group or can be an R.sup.5 substituent of W as is discussed and illustrated hereinafter. The glycosidically bonded saccharide thus forms an ether bond via the hydroxyl group of the oxyethanol group.
The oligosaccharide portion of the molecule is typically added after the synthesis of the fused ring enediyne compound (aglycone) portion is complete, except for any blocking groups on otherwise reactive functionalities of the aglycone that are typically removed after addition of the oligosaccharide portion. A sugar moiety is added by standard techniques as are discussed hereinafter.
A glycosidically-linked sugar moiety can be a monosaccharide such as ribosyl, deoxyribosyl, fucosyl, glucosyl, galactosyl, N-acetylglucosaminyl, N-acetylgalactosaminyl moiety or the more preferred saccharides whose structures are shown below, wherein a wavy line adjacent a bond indicates the position of linkage. ##STR8##
The position of the glycosyl bond to be formed in the sugar moiety used for forming a chimeric compound is typically activated prior to linkage to the fused ring enediyne compound. For example, the 1-position hydroxyl group of an otherwise protected sugar (as with .sup.t BuMe.sub.2 Si or Et.sub.3 Si groups) is reacted with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) in THF and in the presence of 4 .ANG. molecular sieves at -78.degree. C. to form the 1-fluoroderivative. The enediyne having a free hydroxyl group is then reacted with the 1-fluro-protected saccharide in the presence of silver perchlorate and stannous chloride to provide a protected desired, typically blocked, chimer molecule.
Similarly, treatment of 1-position hydroxyl of an otherwise protected saccharide with sodium hydride and trichloroacetonitrile [Grandler et al., Carbohydr. res., 135:203 (1985); Schmidt, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Engl., 25:212 (1986)] in methylene chloride at about room temperature provides a 1-.alpha.-trichloroacetimidate group to activate the saccharide for coupling with the fused ring enediyne (aglycon) hydroxyl. Coupling is then carried out in boron trifluoride-etherate in methylene chloride to provide the protected desired chimer compound.
Once the aglycone and oligosaccharide are coupled, the protecting groups that are present are removed to provide the desired compound, which is then recovered using standard techniques. Exemplary syntheses are discussed hereinafter.
The 1, 2 or 3 six-membered ring fused rings that along with the depicted vinylene group constitute the structure W are aromatic hydrocarbyl rings. Such rings can thus be benzo, naphtho and anthra rings, using fused ring nomenclature. The anthra (anthracene) derivative rings contemplated here contain 9,10-dioxo groups (are derivatives of anthraquinone) and are therefore referred to as 9,10-dioxoanthra rings.
Where a benzo, naphtho or 9,10-dioxoanthra ring forms part of the fused ring system, those fused rings are bonded to the remaining fused ring system through the carbon atoms of the 1- and 2-positions or are (a, b). A benzo, naphtho or 9,10-dioxoanthra fused ring portion can also contain one or more substituents at the ring positions remaining for substitution. Those substituent groups are selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, oxo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy and halo (chloro, bromo or iodo).
For a benzo ring, one or two substituents can be present at one or two of the remaining positions of the radical. Symmetrical substitution by the same substituent is preferred because of the lessened possibility for isomer formation. When a single substituent is present on a benzo ring, that substituent is referred to as R.sup.5, which designation for convenience includes hydrogen. R.sup.5 is thus selected from the group consisting of hydrogen (no substituent), C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, carboxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl or benzyl carboxylate, benzyloxy, o-nitrobenzyloxy, hydroxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy, oxyethanol, oxyethanol tertiary amino or quaternary ammonium C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl carboxylic acid ester, oxyacetic acid, oxyacetic acid C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl ester, oxyacetic acid amide, 3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl and halo.
It is preferred that a hydroxyl group or a group that can form a hydroxyl group intracellularly be present, such that a hydroxyl group be present intracellularly at a position meta to the nitrogen in the adjacent ring. When two substituents are present on a benzo ring, they are referred to as R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 and are selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, benzyloxy, oxo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy, hydroxyl and halo.
W is more preferably a benzo group that contains a single substituent R.sup.5. In one particularly preferred embodiment, R.sup.5 is situated in the benzo ring meta or para to the nitrogen atom bonded to R.sup.1. That R.sup.5 group is more preferably selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, benzyloxy, o-nitrobenzyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy, carboxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl or benzyl carboxylate, oxyethanol, oxyacetic acid, oxycacetic C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl ester, oxyacetic acid amide, oxyethanol tertiary amine- or quaternary ammonium-substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl carboxylate or 3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl. An R.sup.5 oxyacetic acid or oxyethanol or 3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl group is useful for linking the aglycone to an oligosaccharide or antibody combining site portion via an ether or ester group, as discussed previously for R.sup.4.
When R.sup.5 is meta to the above nitrogen atom, it is preferred that the R.sup.5 group be an electron releasing group such as hydroxyl or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy group that can provide a hydroxyl group intracellularly. A C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy group is believed to be a pro-drug form of the hydroxyl group that is cleaved intracellularly by an endogenus esterase or the like to provide the hydroxyl group. The presence of such an electron releasing group appears to assist in enhancing the potency of the compound against target tumor cells. It is believed that the enhanced potency is due to enhanced triggering of the epoxide opening and cyclization reactions.
When R.sup.5 is para to the above nitrogen atom, it is preferred that the R.sup.5 group be an o-nitrobenzyloxy group, oxyethanol, carboxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl or benzyl carboxylate, oxyacetic acid or oxyacetic acid C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl ester. Those groups are particularly useful for the preparation of chimeras.
The presence of an R.sup.5 substituent para to the nitrogen that is an oxyethanol, oxyacetic acid or oxyacetic acid amide as discussed for an R.sup.4 group before, is also useful for providing enhanced water solubility to a fused ring enediyne compound discussed herein. One particularly preferred compound that contains an oxyethanol R.sup.5 group para to the nitrogen atom is Compound 153, whose structure is illustrated hereinafter.
Another particularly preferred R.sup.5 substituent that is para to the nitrogen atom is an oxyethanol ester of a tertiary or quaternary amine substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl carboxylic acid (carboxylate). These substituents provide still further enhancements to water solubility because of the formal charge of a quaternary ammonium group or the protonation of the tertiary amine at physiological pH values, e.g. pH 7.2-7.4.
Exemplary C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl carboxylic acids are those discussed in conjunction with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy group. The amine substituent is preferably bonded to the carbon atom farthest down the alkyl chain from the carboxyl group and is therefore an .omega.-(omega) substituent. Thus, tertiary amine and quaternary ammonium derivatives of .omega.-amino acids such as glycine, .beta.-alanine, .gamma.-aminobutyric acid and 6-aminocaproic acid are preferred.
The amine portion of an oxyethanol tertiary amine- or quaternary ammonium-substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl carboxylic acid ester has the structure --NR.sup.20 R.sup.21 or --.sup.+ NR.sup.20 R.sup.21 R.sup.22 wherein R.sup.20, R.sup.21 and R.sup.22 are each independently C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, or R.sup.20 and R.sup.21 together with the nitrogen atom form a 5- or 6-membered ring, or R.sup.20, R.sup.21 and R.sup.22 (R.sup.20-22) together with the nitrogen atom form a pyridinium or pyrazinium group. Exemplary C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups have already been discussed, and methyl is preferred for each of R.sup.20-22. Exemplary 5- and 6-membered ring compounds formed by R.sup.20, R.sup.21 and the nitrogen atom include piperidine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, imidazole, pyrrole and piperazine. Thus, exemplary --NR.sup.20 R.sup.21 portions of tertiary amine groups include dimethylamino, diethylamino, hexyliso-propylamino, di-sec-butylamino, N-morpholinyl, N-piperidyl and N-imidazyl. Exemplary quaternary ammonium groups include trimethylammonium, ethyldimethylammonium, ethyliso-propylhexylammonium, N-methylmorpholinium, N-butylpiperidinium, pyridinium and pyrazinium. A suitable anion for the quaternary group is of course contemplated and includes halide ions such as chloride and bromide, sulfate, acetate or another C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy group anion.
An N,N,N-trimethylglycine chloride ester of an oxyethanol substituent is particularly preferred. An exemplary compound utilizing such an R.sup.5 substituent is Compound 250, whose structure is illustrated hereafter.
A particularly preferred compound has a structure corresponding to Formula XIb, hereinafter.
A naphtho ring can have three substituents. This ring can have a 4-position radical, R.sup.5, selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, benzyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy, carboxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl or benzyl carboxylate, and halo, and substituents at the 5-(R.sup.10) and 8-positions (R.sup.11) that are selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, benzyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy, oxo and halo radicals. A 9,10-dioxoanthra ring can have three substituents at the 4-(R.sup.5), 5- (R.sup.9) and 8-positions (R.sup.12) that are independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, benzyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy and halo. Thus, R.sup.5, R.sup.9 and R.sup.12 can define the same groups, and all three groups can be written as either R.sup.5, R.sup.9 or R.sup.12, but they are shown separately herein.
Exemplary structural formulas for such fused ring compounds are illustrated below by structural Formulas II-IX, wherein each of the R groups is as discussed before. ##STR9##
In addition to the before-stated preference regarding R.sup.8 and that bond A be a single bond, several other structural features and substituents are preferred.
Thus, it is preferred that R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 be hydrogen, and that R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 be hydrogen. It is also preferred that the fused ring system W together with the depicted vinylene group be substituted benzo, or an unsubstituted benzo, naphtho or 9,10-dioxoanthra ring. It is further preferred that the fused ring compound contain a total of 3-fused six-membered rings so that W together with the depicted vinylene group forms a benzo ring.
One particularly preferred group of compounds of the invention in which W is an R.sup.5 -substituted benzo ring corresponds to structural Formula X. ##STR10##
wherein A is a double or single bond;
R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, phenoxycarbonyl, benzoxycarbonyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl, substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl (particularly substituted ethoxycarbonyl where the substituent is phenylsulfonyl or naphthylsulfonyl, with phenylsulfonyl most particularly preferred), o-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, and 9-fluorenylmethoyloxycarbonyl;
R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of H, carboxyl, hydroxylmethyl and carbonyloxy C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl;
R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of H and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy;
R.sup.4 is selected from the group consisting of H, hydroxyl, oxyacetic acid (--OCH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 H), oxyacetic C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl or benzyl ester, oxyacetic amide, oxyethanol, oxyimidazylthiocarbonyl and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy;
R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, benzyloxy, o-nitrobenzyloxy, hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy, carboxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl or benzyl carboxylate, oxyethanol, oxyacetic acid, oxyacetic acid C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl ester, halo, oxyacetic acid amide, oxyethanol tertiary amino- or quaternary ammonium-substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl carboxylate and 3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl; and
R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are each H or together form with the intervening vinylidene group form a one, two or three fused aromatic ring system, and R.sup.8 is methyl or hydrogen.
A still more preferred group of compounds of the invention correspond to structural Formulas XI, XIa and XIb. ##STR11##
wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.8 are as previously defined.
Of the compounds corresponding to structural Formula XI, there are further preferences for R.sup.1, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5. These preferences also relate to the previously discussed compounds.
Thus, R.sup.1 is most preferably phenoxycarbonyl phenylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl, naphthylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl or hydrogen. R.sup.8 is most preferably hydrogen (H) to provide a compound of Formulas XIa or XIb. R.sup.4 is most preferably H, hydroxyl, imidazylthiocarbonyloxy, benzyl oxyacetate and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl oxyacetate such as ethyl oxyacetate. R.sup.5 in Formulas XI and XIa is H, but is more preferably hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, benzyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyloxy, oxyethanol, oxyacetic acid, oxyacetic acid C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydrocarbyl or benzyl ester and o-nitrobenzyloxy, oxyacetic acid amide, oxyethanol tertiary amino- or quaternary ammonium-substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl carboxylate or 3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl as in Formula XIb. It is noted that an R.sup.5 o-nitrobenzyloxy group is not usually used in a pharmaceutical composition discussed hereinafter.
The structural formulas of particularly preferred compounds are shown below, along with compound numbers as utilized herein. In the formulas below and elsewhere herein, Ph=phenyl, Me=methyl, NBnO=o-nitrobenzyloxy and .sup.t BuCO.sub.2 =pivaloyl. ##STR12##
II. Pharmaceutical Compositions
A compound or chimera of the invention is useful as a DNA cleaving agent, and also as an antimicrobial and a cytoxic (antitumor) agent, as are dynemicin A, calicheamicin, esperamicin and neocarzinostatin. A compound of the invention can also therefore be referred to as an "active agent" or "active ingredient".
DNA cleavage can be assayed using the techniques described hereinafter as well as those described by Mantlo et al., J. Org. Chem., 54:2781 (1989); Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:7147 (1989); Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:7247 (1988) or Zein et al., Science, 240:1198 (1988) and the citations therein.
A compound or chimer of the invention is useful against Gram-positive bacteria such as S. aureus and epidermis, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus subtillis as is dynemicin A. Such a compound or chimer also exhibits antimicrobial activity against E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginos, Candida albucans and Aspergillis fumigatus. Activity of a compound of the invention against the above microorganisms can be determined using various well known techniques. See, for example, Konishi et al., J. Antibiotics, XLII:1449 (1989). Antimicrobial and antitumor assays can also be carried out by techniques described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,837,206, whose disclosures are incorporated by reference, as well as by the procedures described hereinafter.
A before-described compound can also be shown to undergo a Bergman cycloaromatization reaction in the presence of benzyl mercaptan, triethylamine and 1,4-cyclohexadiene as discussed in Haseltine et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 111:7638 (1989). This reaction forms a tetracyclic reaction as is formed during DNA cleavage, and can be used as a co-screen to select more active compounds.
A pharmaceutical composition is thus contemplated that contains a before-described compound or chimer of the invention as active agent. A pharmaceutical composition is prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy all of which involve bringing into association the active compound and the carrier therefor. For therapeutic use, a compound or chimer of the present invention can be administered in the form of conventional pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions can be formulated so as to be suitable for oral or parenteral administration, or as suppositories. In these compositions, the agent is typically dissolved or dispersed in a physiologically tolerable carrier.
A carrier or diluent is a material useful for administering the active compound and must be "pharmaceutically acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. As used herein, the phrases "physiologically tolerable" and "pharmaceutically acceptable" are used interchangeably and refer to molecular entities and compositions that do not produce an allergic or similar untoward reaction, such as gastric upset, dizziness and the like, when administered to a mammal. The physiologically tolerable carrier can take a wide variety of forms depending upon the preparation desired for administration and the intended route of administration.
As an example of a useful composition, a compound or chimer of the invention (active agent) can be utilized, dissolved or dispersed in a liquid composition such as a sterile suspension or solution, or as isotonic preparation containing suitable preservatives. Particularly well-suited for the present purposes are injectable media constituted by aqueous injectable buffered or unbuffered isotonic and sterile saline or glucose solutions, as well as water alone, or an aqueous ethanol solution. Additional liquid forms in which these compounds or chimers can be incorporated for administration include flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, and the like, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Exemplary further liquid diluents can be found in Remmington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1980).
An active agent can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono-or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like in addition to the agent. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and the phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic.
Methods of forming liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in cell Biology, Vol. XIV, Academic press, New York, N.Y. (1976), p. 33 et seq.
An active agent can also be used in compositions such as tablets or pills, preferably containing a unit dose of the compound or chimer. To this end, the agent (active ingredient) is mixed with conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, gums, or similar materials as non-toxic, physiologically tolerable carriers. The tablets or pills can be laminated or otherwise compounded to provide unit dosage forms affording prolonged or delayed action.
It should be understood that in addition to the aforementioned carrier ingredients the pharmaceutical formulation described herein can include, as appropriate, one or more additional carrier ingredients such as diluents, buffers, flavoring agents, binders, surface active agents, thickeners, lubricants, preservatives (including antioxidants) and the like, and substances included for the purpose of rendering the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient.
The tablets or pills can also be provided with an enteric layer in the form of an envelope that serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permits the active ingredient to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, including polymeric acids or mixtures of such acids with such materials as shellac, shellac and cetyl alcohol, cellulose acetate phthalate, and the like. A particularly suitable enteric coating comprises a styrene-maleic acid copolymer together with known materials that contribute to the enteric properties of the coating. Methods for producing enteric coated tablets are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,079,125 to Sipos, which is herein incorporated by reference.
The term "unit dose", as used herein, refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for administration to warm blooded animals, each such unit containing a predetermined quantity of the agent calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the pharmaceutically acceptable diluent. Examples of suitable unit dosage forms in accord with this invention are tablets, capsules, pills, powder packets, granules, wafers, cachets, teaspoonfuls, dropperfuls, ampules, vials, segregated multiples of any of the foregoing, and the like.
A previously noted preferred or particularly preferred compound or chimer is preferred or particularly preferred for use in a pharmaceutical composition.
A compound or chimer of the invention is present in such a pharmaceutical composition in an amount effective to achieve the desired result. For example, where in vitro DNA cleavage is the desired result, a compound or chimer of the invention can be utilized in an amount sufficient to provide a concentration of about 1.0 to about 5000 micromolar (.mu.M) with a DNA concentration of about 0.02 .mu.g/.mu.L. As a cytotoxic (antitumor) agent, an effective amount of a compound or chimer of the invention is about 0.05 to about 50 mg per kilogram, and more preferably about 0.1 to about 15 mg per kilogram of body weight or an amount sufficient to provide a concentration of about 0.01 to about 50 .mu.g/mL to the bloodstream. A compound or chimer of the invention exhibits antimicrobial activity in a concentration range of about 0.01 mg to about 50 .mu.g/mL. The above concentrations and dosages vary with the particular compound of the invention utilized as well as with the target, e.g., DNA, tumor, microbe, as is well known. Lower dosages are preferred when multiple administration is utilized.
III. Methods
A compound or chimer of the invention is useful in cleaving DNA, as a cytotoxic agent and also in inhibiting the growth of neoplastic cells, and is utilized in a method for effecting such a result. A compound or chimer of the invention is typically utilized in a before-described composition.
In accordance with such a method, DNA to be cleaved or target cells to be killed or whose growth is to be inhibited are contacted with a composition that contains a compound or chimer of the invention (active ingredient) present in an amount effective or sufficient for such a purpose, as discussed before, dissolved or dispersed in a physiologically tolerable (pharmaceutically acceptable) diluent. That contact is maintained for a time sufficient for the desired result to be obtained; i.e., DNA cleaved, cells killed or neoplastic cell growth inhibited.
As is discussed hereinafter in particular regard to Compound 153, preliminary studies indicate that the principal mechanism of cytotoxicity exhibited by a fused ring enediyne disclosed herein is DNA cleavage within the contacted cells. Without being bound by theory, it is nevertheless believed that both DNA cleavage in vitro and cytotoxity or cell growth inhibition by contact with a disclosed fused ring enediyne operate substantially similarly.
Where the desired result is carried out in vitro, contact is maintained by simply admixing the DNA or target cells with the composition and maintaining them together under the appropriate conditions of temperature and for cell growth to occur, as for control, untreated cells. Thus, a single admixing and contacting is typically sufficient for in vitro purposes.
The above method is also useful in vivo, as where a mammal such as a rodent like a rat, mouse, or rabbit, a farm animal like a horse, cow or goat, or a primate like a monkey, ape or human is treated. Here, contact of a composition and the cells to be killed or whose growth is to be inhibited as achieved by administration of the composition to the mammal by oral, nasal or anal administration or by introduction intravenously, subcutaneously or intraperitoneally. Thus, contact in vivo is achieved via the blood or lymph systems.
Although a single administration (admixture) and its resulting contact is usually sufficient to maintain the required contact and obtain a desired result in vitro, multiple administrations are typically utilized in vivo. Thus, because of a body's breakdown and excreting pathways, contact between an active ingredient of a composition and the target cells is typically maintained by repeated administration of a compound of the invention over a period of time such as days, weeks or months, or more, depending upon the target cells.
Exemplary methods of the invention for DNA cleavage and inhibition of MIA PaCa-2 human pancreatic carcinoma (ATCC CRL 1420) and MB49 murine bladder carcinoma target cells (obtained from Dr. Lan Bo Chen of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Mass.) as well as several other neoplastic cell lines are discussed hereinafter, as are in vivo uses to inhibit the growth of neoplastic cells in mice.
As is shown and discussed in greater detail hereinafter, compounds that contain a phenylsulfonylethyleneoxycarbonyl group bonded to the nitrogen atom of the fused ring enediyne compound exhibit cytoxic selectivity betwen cancerous and normal cells, with the cancerous cells being killed at lower doses than the normal cells. A difference of about 10.sup.8-9 in concentration was noted for the cytotoxicities of Compound 153 and 250 between peripheral blood lymphocytes and Molt-4 leukemia cells.
Exemplary concentrations for in vitro cytoxicity studies vary with the cells to be killed, and can range from about 10.sup.-5 M to about 10.sup.-15 M, as is seen from the data in Tables 1-5 hereinafter. Exemplary concentrations and dosages for in vivo use can be those used for dynemicin A or calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I. Typical in vivo dosages are about 1 to about 100 mg/kg body weight of the recipient mammal. Exemplary concentrations useful for in vitro cleavage of DNA range from about 0.1 to about 5 mM.
IV. Compound Syntheses
A compound of the invention can be prepared by a number of routes, several of which are illustrated in the schemes hereinafter. The retrosynthetic plan for these syntheses is illustrated below in Scheme I, with the general forward synthesis shown in Scheme II, thereafter. ##STR13##
Briefly, the basic fused 3-, 4- or 5-fused six-membered ring system is first formed.
Following Scheme II for a general synthesis, using the tetrahydro-phenanthridine fused ring system of Compound 4 (W is benzo) as exemplary, an oxygen-containing substituent R.sup.4 having an oxygen atom of that group bonding to the 10-position ring carbon atom is formed as Compound 5. Introduction of that oxygen-containing substituent can be accomplished by oxidation as with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA), followed by acylation and reflux to rearranged the formed acylated N-oxide to the 10-position (steps a and b) of Compound 5. The acetyl group is removed to form the alcohol (Compound 6, step c), which is then blocked with a t-butyldimethylsilyl group (Si.sup.t BuMe.sub.2 ; Compound 7, step d).
An appropriate acetylenic group-containing compound is added adjacent to the nitrogen atom (at the 6-position) as by reaction of an ethynyl Grignard reagent in the presence of an activating moiety that also functions to block the secondary amine so generated, such as phenyl chloroformate to form an R.sup.1 substituent of Compound 8 (step e).
The epoxide ring is added next between the 6-and 10-positions by oxidation as with (mCPBA) as in Compound 9 (step f). The formed epoxide ring is on the opposite side of the ring plane from the 6-position acetylenic group, and preferably, the epoxide is in an .alpha.-configuration, whereas the acetylenic group is .beta..
The oxygen-linked R.sup.4 group Si.sup.t BuMe.sub.2 is replaced with a hydrogen (step g) and the alcohol so formed is next converted to a ketone, Compound 11 (see also step h, Scheme III). The vinyl acetylene portion of the enediyne-containing ring is added as in Compound 13, when necessary. This step can be carried out by reacting (Z) 1-chloro-4-trimethylsilyl-but-1-en-3-yne (Compound 12) with the ketone Compound 11 in the presence of butylamine, triphenylphosphine and palladium.sup.II acetate (step i).
Scheme III illustrates that the entire enediyne carbon skeleton can be bonded to the 6-position in a single step, as is discussed hereinafter. Scheme III also illustrates formation of a benzo ring W by reaction of an aniline compound with ethyl cyclohexanone-2-carboxylate. Compound 41 was prepared starting with m-anisidine (R.sup.5 =m-methoxy), whereas a meta-pivaloyl ester (R.sup.5 =meta-C.sub.5 acyloxy) was prepared from a meta-benzyl ether in preparing Compounds 59a and 59b. Where a R.sup.8 methyl group is desired, ethyl 3-methylcyclohexanone-2-carboxylate is utilized.
A derivative of a compound such as Compounds 2 or 21 having a hydroxyl group (R.sup.5, or R.sub.4 of Scheme III) can be prepared following the synthetic route illustrated in Scheme III (R.sub.2 =H,H) through step j and then Scheme VII, by utilizing meta-(2-nitrobenzyloxy)aniline for preparation of a tri-cyclic compound analogous to that formed in step a of Scheme III. The meta-2-nitrobenzyloxy (NBnO) group can be removed after step j of Scheme III to form the meta-hydroxyl-substituted derivative of a compound such as Compounds 2 or 21 by irradiation with ultraviolet light. A meta-hydroxyl-substituted derivative of Compound 2, Compound 42, has been so prepared via Compound 43, irradiated, and shown to cause cleavage of double stranded DNA at a 2 mM concentration.
After removal of the trimethylsilyl group from the otherwise free (unlinked) acetylenic group (Scheme II, step j), the acetylenic group is inserted into the carbonyl group at position-10 by reaction with a base such as lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) to form a fused ring compound of the invention where R.sup.4 is hydroxyl (OH) (step k). The R.sup.4 group can later be replaced with a hydrogen or derivatized as discussed hereinafter.
As noted before, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are preferably hydrogen (H). However, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 along with the intervening vinylidene group can together form an aromatic mono-, di- or tri-cyclic ring system that can be hydrocarbyl or heterocyclic. When such a ring system is present, the ethylenic bond of the enediyne-containing ring is also one of the unsaturated carbon-to-carbon bonds of aromatic ring system, and the entire enediyne carbon skeleton is typically bonded at the 6-position (see Scheme III, R.sub.2) as a single unit, as is shown in Scheme XI. ##STR14##
Turning more specifically to Scheme III, 2-ethoxycarbonylcyclohexanone is reacted with the aniline (R.sub.4 as shown hereinafter), and the reaction product cyclized by treatment with H.sub.2 SO.sub.4. The cyclized material is reduced with lithium aluminum hydride and then air oxidized (step a) to form the tricyclic compound. That compound is oxidized, acetylated and rearranged (steps b and c) to form the acetoxy compound (R.dbd.OAc) whose acetyl group is removed to form the alcohol (step d, R.dbd.OH) that is then reacted with t-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in the presence of 2,6-lutidine in step e (R.dbd.OSi.sup.t BuMe.sub.2).
The product of step e is reacted first with a chloroformate whose R.sub.1 group is shown hereinafter, and then with diacetylide or an aromatic diacetylide ring system compound (R.sub.2 as shown hereinafter) blocked with a tirmethylsilyl group (TMS) and containing a mono-Grignard reagent in step f to form the partially linked macrocyclic ring precursor.
The epoxide ring is formed in step g by reaction with mCPBA. The Si.sup.t BuMe.sub.2 group is removed in step h by reaction with .sup.n BuNF, and the resulting alcohol is oxidized with pyridinium chlorochromate in the presence of molecular sieves in step i to form the ketone.
The macrocyclic ring is closed in step j by reaction with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). The hydroxyl group formed in step j is reacted in step k with an appropriate 2-haloacetic acid derivative (R.sub.3 as shown hereinbelow) to form the final product. ##STR15##
Subscripted R groups are used in this scheme to distinguish R groups therein from the superscripted R groups defined elsewhere herein.
The "spacer" noted for R.sub.3 is a peptide that typically contains zero to about six amino acid residues that links a monoclonal antibody, "Mab", to the compound. The R.sub.3 "spacer" linked to an oligosaccharide is typically an oxyethanol or oxyacetic acid group used to form the glycosidic bond to the saccharide, or bond to a paratope-containing molecule.
A vicinal diyne aromatic compound suitable for introduction at the 6-position (based on Compound 4) of a 3-, 4- or 5-fused six-membered ring system can be prepared by alkylation of a vicinal dihalide with trimethylsilylacetylene in the presence of diisopropylamine, dicyanophenylpalladium chloride, triphenylphosphene and cuprous iodide to form the vicinal bis-trimethylsilylacetylene derivative.
Exemplary vicinal dihalo aromatic compounds commercially available from Aldrich Chemical Co. of Milwaukee, Wis. include 1,2-diiodobenzene, 1,2-dibromobenzene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene. 2,3-Dibromonaphthalene, 2,3-dibromoanthracene and 6,7-dichloroquinoxaline have the following Chemical Abstracts Registry Numbers (R.N.) 13214-70-5, 117820-97-0, and 19853-64-6.
After preparation of the vicinal bis-trimethylsilylacetylene derivative, one of the trimethylsilyl groups (TMS) is replaced with a hydrogen atom by reaction with silver nitrate and potassium cyanide. The resulting aromatic diacetylide is then reacted with the fused ring system as described previously.
An appropriate vicinal diacetylide can also be prepared via a vicinal, dihydroxymethyl compound. In one exemplary synthesis, 1,4-dimethoxy-6,7-dimethylnaphthalene (R.N. 73661-12-2) is reacted with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in a halogenated solvent such as carbon tetrachloride to form the corresponding vicinal dibromomethyl derivative. Reaction of that dibromo compound with hydroxide ion forms the vicinal dihydroxymethyl derivative. Mild oxidization of the dihydroxymethyl compound with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) provides the corresponding vicinal dialdehyde. Reaction of the dialdehyde with triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrabromide, followed by reaction with butyl lithium and then with trimethylsilyl chloride provides the vicinal di-TMS acetylene derivative. Following replacement of one TMS group with hydrogen as discussed before, the aromatic diacetylide is reacted with the fused ring system as was also discussed before.
The above method of synthesis can also be applied to unsubstituted aromatic compounds, such as vicinal dicarboxylic acids, anhydrides or esters. For example, phthalic acid and naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid are both available from Aldrich Chemical Co. Either or both can be used to form the corresponding dimethyl esters by reaction with diazomethane. Reduction of the diesters to vicinal dihydroxymethyl derivatives can be accomplished by reduction using diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL). The resulting dihydroxymethyl compounds are thereafter reacted as described above to form a desired compound.
It is preferred that an aromatic diacetylide contain its two vicinal acetylenic groups symmetrically bonded to the ring system so as to minimize isomer formation. Thus, 2,3-disubstituted-naphthalene, anthracene or quinoxaline compounds are utilized, or a 6,7-disubstituted-quinoxaline, or the like.
An exemplary synthesis for compounds corresponding to structural Formula V is illustrated in Scheme IV, shown below. ##STR16##
Thus, chloronaphthazarin, Compound 25, [Banville et al., Can J. Chem., 52:80 (1974); Savard et al., Tetrahedron, 40:3455 (1984); and Echavarren et al., J. Chem. Res. (3), 364 (1986)] is reacted in step i with diene Compound 26 [Schmidt et al., Synthesis, 958 (1982)] in A Diels-Alder reaction to form the aminoanthraquinone, Compound 27. Reduction of the quinone as with DIBAL in step ii, followed by alkylation with methylene bromide in the presence of cesium fluoride in DMF as step iii provides the O-blocked Compound 28.
Removal of the urethane group with base in step iv, annellation and subsequent reaction as illustrated in Scheme III provides Compounds 29 (steps v-viii) and 30 (steps ix and xii). Compound 30 is then reacted with lithium iodide in pyrazine, oxidized with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ), and reacted with pivaloyl chloride (Piv) to form Compound 31 (steps xiii-xv).
Ethylmagnesium bromide is reacted with Compound 31 in the presence of phenyl chloroformate (step xvi). The resulting compound is reacted with mCPBA to form the epoxide (step xvii). The TBS group is removed with .sup.n Bu.sub.4 NF to form the alcohol (step xviii) that is then oxidized with Jones reagent (step xix) to form the corresponding ketone. That ketone is reacted with (Z)-1-chloro-4-trimethylsilylbut-1-en-3-yne, palladium.degree., CuI and butylamine to form Compound 32 (step xx). Compound 32 is reacted with silver nitrate and potassium cyanide (step xxi), LDA (step xxii), thiocarbonyldiimidazole (step xxiii), tri-n-butylstannane and AIBN (step xxiv), and then hydroxide ion (step xxv) to form Compound 33.
For preparation of a compound corresponding to structural Formula IX, 1-aminoanthraquinone (Aldrich Chemical Co.) can be used as a starting material. Here, the amino group is blocked as with a t-Boc group, the quinone function is reduced as with DIBAL and the resulting phenolic hydroxyl groups are blocked with pivaloyl chloride.
The t-Boc group is then removed as by reaction with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and the aromatic ring is annelated with ethyl cyclohexanone-2-carboxylate, followed by cyclization with sulfuric acid, reduction with lithium aluminum hydride and then air oxidation to reform the quinoid structure as the pivaloyl groups are lost during the prior reactions.
The above reactions form the fused ring system. The enediyne macrocycle portion is thereafter added as discussed before.
Where a double bond is desired in the otherwise saturated six-membered ring as is shown in structure Formulas VI, VII, VIII and IX, that functionality can be added as follows. The fused ring system and epoxide are formed, one of the acetylenic linkages is made, the amine blocked and the ketone is formed, all as discussed previously. Exemplary compounds of the required structure are Compounds 13 and 32 shown in Scheme II and IV. The compound is then oxidized to introduce hydroxyl group .alpha. (position 9 of Compound 13) to the ketone at position 10 of Compound 13. That hydroxyl group is then blocked as with triethylsilyl (TES or Et.sub.3 Si) chloride and the macrocyclic enediyne ring is closed. The hydroxyl group resulting from the ring closure is either removed as discussed before or blocked with a group that is not removed by removal of the TES group.
The TES group is removed and the resulting hydroxyl group is oxidized to a ketone as by Swern oxidation. That ketone is then reacted with LDA and methyl chloroformate to form a carboxy enol whose hydroxyl group can be methylated with diazomethane. Subsequent reaction with hydroxide ion and neutralization provides the unsaturated methoxy carboxylic shown in structural Formulas VI, VII, VIII and IX.
For a compound of structural Formula VI, where the R.sup.8 methyl group is present, that methyl group is in the .beta.-configuration. Here, the ketone formed by the above Swern oxidation is reacted with LDA, phenylselenylbromide and hydrogen peroxide to form an enone. That enone is reduced with copper hydride, which attacks from the .alpha.-face to provide the .beta.-stereochemistry for the R.sup.8 methyl group. The reduced enone is then reacted as above to provide the double bond and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 groups.
A compound of the general formula of Compound 24 ##STR17## can be prepared by reaction of an appropriate 2-haloacetic acid (Compound 24a) or 2-haloacetate ester (Compounds 24b-g) with Compound 2 in the presence of a base such as cesium carbonate (Cs.sub.2 CO.sub.3) and a crown ether such as 18-crown-6. Exemplary syntheses of Compounds 24a, 24c and 262, and similarly substituted compounds having a phenylsulfonylethylene oxycarbonyl group replacing the phenyl oxycarbonyl group, e.g. Compound 120, are provided hereinafter. A compound wherein R.sup.4 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group can be similarly prepared from Compound 2 by alkylation with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 halo derivative such as iodo or triflate derivative in the presence of Cs.sub.2 CO.sub.3.
Removal of the carbamate group from the nitrogen atom of a compound such as Compound 2 to form a free amine-containing compound such as Compound 40 is achieved by reaction with lithium aluminum hydride reduction. Variants in the alcohol portion of a carbamate derivative of a dynemicin analog can be prepared from a phenoxycarbonyl derivative such as Compound 2 by reaction with the replacing alcohol in the presence of the sodium salt of the alcohol as is shown schematically in Scheme VIII, and discussed thereafter and elsewhere herein.
V. Results
The key retrosynthetic step that led to the present synthetic strategy is shown in Scheme I, as noted previously. Scheme II outlined the construction of Compound 2 starting from the quinoline derivative Compound 4 [(a) Masamune et al., J. Org. Chem., 29:681-685 (1964); (b) Curran et al., J. Org. Chem., 49:2063-2065 (1984); (c) Hollingsworth et al., J. Org. Chem., 1537-1541 (1948)]. Thus, treatment of Compound 4 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) in dichloromethane gave the corresponding N-oxide (step a) which underwent regiospecific rearrangement [Boekelheide et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 76:1286-1291 (1954)] upon heating in acetic anhydride (step b) to give the acetoxy derivative Compound 5 (62 percent overall yield).
Compound 5 was converted to the corresponding silyl ether Compound 7 in 92 percent overall yield by standard methods via hydroxy Compound 6 (steps c and d). Addition of phenyl chloroformate [Comins et al., J. Org. Chem., 55:292-298 (1990)] to a mixture of Compound 7 and ethynylmagnesium bromide at -78.degree. C. led to the formation of Compound 8 in 92 percent yield (step e).
Treatment of Compound 8 with mCPBA led to epoxide Compound 9 (85 percent) (step f), which was converted to ketone Compound 11 via alcohol Compound 10 by desilylation(step g) followed by oxidation (step h). Coupling Compound 11 with the vinyl chloride derivative Compound 12 via Pd(OAc.sub.2)-CuI catalysis (step i) followed by AgNO.sub.3 /KCN treatment (step j) resulted in the formation of the requisite precursor Compound 3 via coupling product Compound 13 (79 percent overall yield). Finally, treatment of Compound 3 with LDA in toluene at -78.degree. C. (step k) gave the targeted dynemicin A model Compound 2 (80 percent based on 25 percent recovery of starting material). Compound 2 is also referred to as DY-1 in FIGS. 10 and 11.
Compound 2 crystallized from ether in colorless prisms, mp 232.degree.-235.degree. C. dec. X-ray crystallographic analysis (this X-ray crystallographic analysis was carried out by Dr. Raj Chandha, Department of Chemistry, University of California, San Diego) confirmed its structure (ORTEP drawing Oakridge Thermal Ellipsoid Plotter) and revealed some interesting structural features.
The acetylenic moieties are bent from linearity with the following angles: C14, 160.4.degree.; C15, 170.8.degree.; C18, 171.6.degree. and C19, 162.0.degree.. The distance between carbons C14 and C19 (cd distance) [Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:4866-4868 (1988)] was found to be 3.63 .ANG., a value that agrees well with the calculated one for the MMX minimized structure of Compound 2 (3.63 .ANG.) and that of the experimentally derived [(a) Konishi et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:3715-3716 (1990); (b) Konishi et al., J. Antibiot., 42:1449-1452 (1989)] distance in dynemicin A (3.54 .ANG.). The calculated distance for these acetylenic carbons was found to be 3.40 .ANG.. See: Semmelhack et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 31:1521-1522 (1990). [The MMX87 force field in computer programs MMX and PCMODEL from Serena Software, P.O. Box 3076, Bloomington, Ind. 47402-3076 was used.]
Scheme V outlines a cascade of novel transformations of model system Compound 2. ##STR18##
Thus, upon treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH.H.sub.2 O) in benzene-1,4-cyclohexadiene (3:1, 0.05 M) at 25.degree. C. for 24 hours, Compound 2 was converted to Compound 17 in 82 percent yield, presumably via intermediates 14 and 15. This transformation (2.fwdarw.17) was also carried out using 1.0 equivalent of TsOH.H.sub.2 O and 50 equivalents of Et.sub.3 SiH in benzene at 25.degree. C. (24 hours, 85 percent).
For a study using Et.sub.3 SiH and a number of other hydrogen donors to trap C-centered radicals, see: Newcomb et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 108, 4132-4134 (1986). Compound 17 derived from this reaction with Et.sub.3 SiH was contaminated with about 5 percent of an, as yet, unidentified product (detected by .sup.1 H NMR spectroscopy).
Thus, protonation of the epoxide group in Compound 2 initiates formation of triol Compound 14 which undergoes spontaneous Bergman cyclization [(a) Bergman, Acc. Chem. Res., 6:25-31 (1973); Jones et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 94:660-661 (1972); Lockhart et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 103:4091-4096; (b) Darby et al., J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun., 1516-1517 (1971); (c) Wong et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 21:217-220 (1980)] to form a benzenoid diradical which is, in turn, rapidly trapped by the hydrogen donor present to furnish cyclized product Compounds 15, 15a, or 15b. Under the reaction conditions, triol Compound 15 apparently undergoes a pinacol-type rearrangement leading to the observed final product Compound 17. The structure of Compound 17 was supported by its spectroscopic data and was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
Furthermore, it was found that trimethylsilyl trifluoromethylsulfonate (TMSOTf) in the presence of Et.sub.3 SiH induces the same transformation (2.fwdarw.17), (Scheme V) at -78.degree. C. in less than 5 minutes (78 percent yield), suggesting a very low energy of activation for the cyclization process. The rather dramatic shortening of the cd distance in going from epoxide Compound 2 (cd=3.63 .ANG., X-ray and MMX) to triol compound 14a (cd=3.19 .ANG., MMX) is noteworthy. For comparison with other similar enediyne cyclizations and calculations, see: (1) Nicolaou et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:4866-4868 (1988); (b) Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:7247-7248 (1988); (c) Hazeltine et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 111:7638-7640 (1989); (d) for similar stabilization of enediynes via cobalt complexation, see: Magnus et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:1626-1628 (1988) and Magnus et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:6921-6923 (1988); (e) Semmelhack et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 32:1521-1522 (1990); (f) Snyder et al J. Am. Chem. Soc., 111:7630-7632 (1989); (g) Magnus et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 30:1905-1906 (1989).
In an attempt to prevent the pinacol rearrangement of triol Compound 15, the acetate derivative Compound 2a was prepared from Compound 2 [acetic anhydride, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), 84 percent], and was subjected to the epoxide opening and cyclization reaction conditions as described above. Indeed, the acetate diol Compound 15a was obtained (84 percent yield) as the final product of this cascade starting with Compound 2a and using TsOH.H.sub.2 O as the initiator (presumably via intermediate Compound 14a).
The use of anhydrous HCl in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 in the presence of Et.sub.3 SiH (Scheme V hereinbefore) also resulted in triggering of the cyclization cascade leading from Compound 2 to Compound 15b (85 percent yield) presumably via the intermediacy of Compound 14b (cd=3.145 .ANG., MMX). The same conversion (2.fwdarw.15b) was also effected by the use of 3.0 equivalents of MgCl.sub.2 and 50 equivalents of Et.sub.3 SiH in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 at 25.degree. C. (12 hours, 87 percent) or 1.2 equivalent of TiCl.sub.4 and 50 equivalents of Et.sub.3 SiH in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 at -78.degree. C. (0.5 hour, 60 percent).
Thus, only Compound 15 underwent the further pinacol-type rearrangement to form Compound 17.
These cyclizations are analogous to those observed for dynemicin A. [(a) Konishi et al., J. Am.Chem. Soc., 112:3715-3716 (1990); (b) Konishi et al., J. Antibiot., 42:1449-1452 (1989); (c) Sugiura et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 87:3831-3835 (1990)].
An alternate mode of triggering the cyclization of Compound 2 based on cobalt complexation of the acetylenes was devised. This triggering cyclization is illustrated in Scheme VI, below. This pathway was designed so as to prevent the acetylenes from spontaneously cyclizing upon epoxide opening and thus allow the isolation of the postulated intermediate cis-diol. ##STR19##
Thus, reaction of Compound 2 with Co.sub.2 (CO).sub.8 (2.2 equivalents) resulted in the formation of the dicobalt complex Compound 18 (step a) in 96 percent yield. Use of one equivalent of Co.sub.2 (CO).sub.8 resulted in the formation of a monocobalt complex in addition to dicobalt derivative Compound 18 and starting material Compound 2. [For similar stabilization of enediynes via cobalt complexation, see: Magnus et a., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:1626-1628 (1988); and Magnux et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110:6921-6923 (1988)].
Treatment of Compound 18 with trifluoroacetic acid in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (zero degrees C) followed by aqueous workup led to the formation of the stable cis opening product Compound 19 (step b; 92 percent yield). Upon exposure of Compound 19 to ferric nitrate, or trimethylamine N-oxide in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 in the presence, or absence, of Et.sub.3 SiH at 25.degree. C., the cyclized product Compound 17 was obtained in 85-92 percent yield via liberation of the acetylenic groups to afford Compound 14 followed by spontaneous and sequential generation of Compounds 15 and 17 as shown in Schemes V and VI. The same study [reaction with Fe(NO.sub.3).sub.3 ] carried out in CD.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 resulted in the incorporation of two deuterium atoms in Compound 17 confirming methylene chloride as an effective hydrogen atom donor in these aromatization studies.
To obtain a closer model to dynemicin A, the tertiary hydroxy group in Compound 2 was removed to form Compound 21 as shown in Scheme VII below. ##STR20##
Thus, reaction of Compound 2 with thiocarbonyldiimidazole in the presence of DMAP resulted in the formation of Compound 20 in 95 percent yield (step a). Compound 20, upon treatment with .sup.n Bu.sub.3 SnH in the presence of a catalytic amount of AIBN (toluene, 75.degree. C.), led to the desired Compound 21 (step b; 72 percent yield). This model system Compound 21 also underwent smooth cyclization to polycycles Compounds 23 (86 percent) and 23a (82 percent) upon suitable triggering, (as summarized in Scheme VII).
An ORTEP drawing of dynemicin A model Compound 21 (mp 251.2 52.degree. C. dec, from ether - petroleum ether) as determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis was prepared. The following angles revealed considerable deviation of the acetylenic groupings from their preferred linear arrangement: C17-C18-C19=170.2.degree.; C9-C19-C18=162.0.degree.; C14-C15-C16=170.1.degree.; and C13-C14-C15=163.7.degree.. The distance between carbons C14 and C19 (cd distance) was found to be 3.59 .ANG., which agrees well with the values derived for the MMX minimized structure of Compound 21 (3.59 .ANG.) and from the X-ray crystallographic analysis of dynemicin A (3.54 .ANG.). [Konishi et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:3715-3716 (199)]. Again, the considerable shortening of the cd distance is noted in going from 9 to the cis diols 10 (cd=3.21 .ANG., MMX) and 10a (cd=3.19 .ANG., MMX).
In order to allow for the generation of the parent enediyne system Compound 40, Compound 45 was designed and synthesized from Compound 21 as shown in Scheme VIII, below. ##STR21##
Thus, Compounds 21 and 46 were separately reacted with ten equivalents of 2-phenylthioethanol [PhS(CH.sub.2).sub.2 OH] in acetonitrile for 12 hours in the presence of three equivalents of Cs.sub.2 CO.sub.3 and 0.5 equivalents 18-crown-6 in step a to form the corresponding phenylthioethoxy Compounds 21a and 46a, respectively. The products of that reaction were then individually reacted with 2.5 equivalents of mCBPA in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 at 0.degree.-25.degree. C. to provide Compounds 45 (85 percent overall) and 47 (82 percent overall) as step b. When step b is carried out with one equivalent of mCBPA, the corresponding sulfoxides, Compounds 21b and 46b are prepared.
To prepare Compound 40 that was too labile for isolation, Compound 45 was reacted with an excess of Cs.sub.2 CO.sub.3 and 0.5 equivalents of 18-crown-6 in a dioxane:1,4-cyclohexadiene (4:1) solution for one hour at 25.degree. C. as step c. Compound 47 was reacted with 1.2 equivalents of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in benzene at 5.degree. C. for one hour to provide a 97 percent yield of Compound 48 as step c.
Freshly prepared Compound 40 was reacted with either phenol (i, PhOH) or thiophenol (ii, PhSH) using two equivalents of either nucleophile at 25.degree. C. for two hours to provide Compounds 49 (25 percent yield) or 50 (33 percent yield, respectively, as step d. The reactivity of Compound 40 and its ability to cleave DNA add credibility to the notion of a pathway including epoxide ring opening and the intermediacy of an iminoquinone methide species in the mode of action of dynemicin A, at least as a partial mechanism.
Interestingly, the methoxy derivative, Compound 48 proved to be quite stable under basic or neutral conditions. Treatment of Compound 48 with 0.5 equivalents of p-toluenesulfonic acid-H.sub.2 O (step d iii, TSOH) in dioxane:water:1,4-cyclohexadiene (4:1:1) at 60.degree. C. for ten minutes provided Compound 51 (20 percent yield).
An X-ray crystallographic analysis of Compound 48 confirmed its molecular structure and revealed a number of interesting parameters including a cd distance of 3.63 .ANG. [Calcd. cd=3.61 .ANG., MMX] and the non-linearity of the acetylenic groupings [angles at acetylenic carbons: C-14, 163.3.degree.; C-15, 173.0.degree.; C-18, 169.3.degree.; C-19, 160.5.degree.].
Enediyne model system Compound 43 (Scheme IX) was designed for its potential to generate species 42 under photolytic, neutral conditions. Following the strategy developed earlier for the synthesis of Compound 21, Compound 43 was constructed in good overall yield. Reactions of Compound 43 are shown in Scheme IX. ##STR22##
Irradiation in step a of Compound 43 in THF-H.sub.2 O (10:1) for 40 minutes [Hanover mercury lamp, pyrex filter] at ice-cooling temperature resulted in clean conversion to Compound 42 as observed by TLC and .sup.1 H NMR spectroscopy (THF-d.sub.8 : D.sub.2 O 10:1, 300 MHz). Attempted isolation of Compound 42 led to decomposition, whereas treatment of crude Compound 42 in a pH 8.0 buffer-THF solution containing either ethanol (EtOH), mercaptoenthanol (EtSH) or n-propylamine (.sup.n PrNH.sub.2) as nucleophiles (Nu) at 25.degree. C. under argon atmosphere for 1.5 hours provided a mixture of Compounds 44a and 54 (31 percent yield), 44b (34 percent yield), or 44c (46 percent yield), respectively, as step b.
In another set of reactions of Compound 42 that are shown in Scheme IXa, the hydroxyl group was acetylated (step a; acetic anhydride/pyridine with a catalytic amount of DMAP at 25.degree. C. for two hours 77 percent yield) to provide Compound 200. Photolytic cleavage [step b; THF-H.sub.2 O (10:1), under argon at zero degrees C. for 40 minutes] of Compound 200 provided Compound 201. Acetylation of Compound 201 provided Compound 202 (step c; acetic anhydride/pyridine, 25.degree. C., 30 minutes; 92 percent yield).
Reaction of Compound 201 in ethanol-THF-phosphate buffer (pH 8.0 (1:1:1) under argon at 25.degree. C. for a period of ten hours provided a mixture Compounds 203 and 204 in 20 percent yield. ##STR23##
Photoactivation can also occur via photodeprotection of the amine group. For example, irradiation of Compounds 160 and 161, shown below, provided the free amine. ##STR24##
Noteworthy in Scheme IX was the isolation of Compound 54 in about 5-10 percent yield from the reaction of 42 with ethanol, in air, along with Compound 44a (33 percent yield), as a sensitive but stable molecule under neutral conditions. The isolation of Compound 54 provides strong evidence for the intermediacy of quinone methide Compound 52, [A) Dyall et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 94:2196 (1972); b) Zanarotti, Tetrahedron Lett., 23:3815 (1982); c) Zanarotti, J. Org. Chem., 50:941 (1985); d) Angle et al., J. Am. Chem.

Compound 54 also exhibited DNA cleaving activity. ##STR25##
Remarkably, treatment of Compound 55 under similar conditions (THF-pH 9.0 buffer in air) resulted in the isolation of Compounds 58 and 62 in 32 percent and 25 percent yields, respectively, as stable molecules. Quinone methide intermediates have been implicated in the mode of action of anthracycline antibiotics [for recent postulated quinone methide intermediates in the area of anthracycline antibiotics, see:

The pivaloate ester Compounds 59a and 59b were also synthesized according to the previously discussed general strategy shown in Scheme II (shown in detail hereinafter in Scheme XVIII) for their potential to liberate phenolic species of type of Compound 42 (Scheme IX), thus presenting yet another triggering mechanism to initiate the dynemicin A-type cascade. Indeed, upon exposure to four equivalents of LiOH in ethanol:water (3:1) at 25.degree. c. for 4-6 hours, Compounds 59a and 59b were smoothly converted to products 60a (56 percent) and 60b (42 percent), respectively, presumably via a sequence involving concomitant carbamate exchange [EtO- for PhO-]. ##STR26##
The methoxy compound 41 was also synthesized following the procedures outlined in Scheme III starting with m-anisidine, and exhibited reasonable stability under neutral and basic conditions. As expected, however, this compound cyclized rapidly under acidic conditions. For example, upon treatment with TsOH.H.sub.2 O in benzene:1,4-cyclohexadiene (1:1) at 25.degree. C. for one hour, Compound 41 afforded the aromatized product Compound 61 (32 percent yield). ##STR27##
Compound 41-1 was similarly prepared using p-anisidine as starting material. Treatment of Compound 41-1 as per steps a and b of Scheme V yields the corresponding methoxyphenyl derivative Compound 41a having a hydrogen in place of the hydroxyl of Compound 41. Treatment of Compound 41a with 2-phenylthioethanol, 2-.alpha.-naphthylthioethanol or 2-.beta.-naphthylthioethanol under basic conditions as discussed in regard to Scheme VIII, followed by oxidation led to Compounds 41b, 41c and 41d, respectively. ##STR28##
Compound 171 is prepared in a reaction similar to that for Compound 59a. For the synthesis of Compound 171, the pivolate group is removed from the ring, and an acetate group is added to the bridgehead hydroxyl. ##STR29##
The synthesis of Compounds 70 and 80 (Scheme III, R.sub.2 =benzo or naphto) proceeded as summarized in Scheme XI, shown below. ##STR30##
Thus, coupling of the readily available Compounds 11 [Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:7416 (1990); Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 113:3106 (1991)] and 71 using palladium (O)-copper(1) catalysis afforded product Compound 72 (55 percent yield) as step a. Desilylation of Compound 72 with lithium hydroxide in step b followed by base-induced (lithium diisopropylamide; LDA) ring closure led to Compound 74 via 73 (75 percent overall yield) in step c. Conversion of Compound 74 to the thionoimidazolide Compound 75 (84 percent based on 67 percent conversion of staring material) as discussed elsewhere herein, followed by deoxygenation with tri-n-butylstannane (.sup.n Bu.sub.3 SnH) in step e resulted in the formation of 76 (94 percent). Exchange of the phenoxy (PhO) group of Compound 76 with 2-phenylthioethoxy (PhSCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O) took place smoothly under basic conditions (two equivalents of PhSCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 ONa, THF) leading to Compound 77 (92 percent yield) in step f, from which the sulfone Compound 70 was generated by oxidation using 2.5 equivalents mCPBA (81 percent yield) in step g.
Similar chemistry employing the naphthalene ditriflate Compound 81 led from Compound 11 to arenediyne Compounds 85-80 via intermediate Compounds 82-84 in comparable yields as depicted in Scheme XI. Step h utilized acetonitrile as a solvent and a one hour reaction time as compared with step ad of the scheme that used benzene as solvent and 3.5 hours of reaction to obtain yields of 55 and 56 percent, respectively. Step i utilized five equivalents of trimethylsilylacetylene, 0.05 equivalents of Pd(PPh.sub.3).sub.4, 0.2 equivalents of CuI and two equivalents of triethylamine in acetonitrile (as were present in steps a and b) with a reaction time of 20 hours at 25.degree. C. to provide Compound 82 in 76 percent yield. Steps c-g of both reactions were identical. Reaction of Compounds 77 or 88 with one equivalent each of mCPBA leads to preparation of the corresponding sulfoxides, Compounds 77a and 88a.
The free amine Compounds, 76a and 87a, shown below, corresponding to Compounds 76 and 87 were prepared from their corresponding phenylsulfonylethyl carbamates 70 and 80 under basic conditions. Those compounds were both stable at 25.degree. C., whereas Compound 40 decomposed at that temperature.
Treatment of Compounds 76a and 87a with silica gel in benzene initiated epoxide opening to form the corresponding diols 76b and 87b, respectively. Diol Compound 76b cyclized spontaneously at 25.degree. C. in the presence of 1,4-cyclohexadiene to form the cycloaromatized diol, Compound 76c. In contrast to Compound 76b, diol Compound 87b was stable in the presence of 1,4-cyclohexadiene, but cycloaromatized at elevated temperature (65.degree. C., two hours) to form Compound 87c. ##STR31##
The cycloaromatization of enediyne Compounds 76, 70, 87 and 80 was then studied in order to determine the precise structural and spectroscopic changes taking place. Thus, whereas cycloaromatization of Compound 76 (about 0.02 M solution) under acid conditions [1.2 equivalents of TsOH.H.sub.2 O, benzene-cyclohexdiene (4:1), 25.degree. C., four hours] produced smoothly the corresponding naphthalene derivative (78 percent) no dramatic changes in the UV and fluorescent spectra were observed for the starting arenediyne and cycloaromatized product.
In contrast, however, similar acid-induced Bergman cycloaromatization of the naphthalene enediyne Compound 87 furnished the epoxy-containing anthracene derivative Compound 89 (49 percent) that exhibited, as expected, strong and characteristic UV and fluorescence profiles that were distinct from those of the starting arenediyne Compound 87 [UV (EtOH), 87; .lambda..sub.max (log .epsilon.) 304 (3.47), 294 (4.01), 284 (4.26), 267-240 (4.53-4.55), 214 (4.50) nm; 89;.lambda..sub.max (log .epsilon.)390 (3.74), 369 (3.78), 351 (3.66), 333 (3.45), 318 (3.20), 267-244 (4.43-4.46), 215 (4.43) nm. Fluorescence (EtOH, 1 .mu.M, excitation at 260 nm, Compound 87:.lambda..sub.max 435, 412, 393, 374, 357 nm; 89:.lambda..sub.max 520, 466, 442, 413, 392 nm].
Attempted cycloaromatization of Compounds 70 and 80 under a variety of basic conditions led to decomposition, presumably via the in situ generated free amines and diradical species, whereas acid treatment resulted in the formation of epoxy-opened (dihydroxy) Compounds 78 and 89a albeit in low yields (20 percent and 15 percent, respectively). Interestingly, both Compounds 70 and 80 exhibited DNA cleaving properties under basic conditions (supercoiled .phi.X174 DNA, pH 9.0) and potent anticancer activity against a variety of cell lines as discussed hereinafter.
Generally, o-nitrobenzyl (ONBn) carbamate derivatives can be prepared from the phenoxyurethanes by reacting 2 equivalents of 2-nitrobenzyl alcohol with 2 equivalents of sodium hydride (NaH) in THF at 25.degree. C. for 2 hours in the presence of the phenoxyurethane. Specifically, Compound 160 was produced in 45 percent yield when Compound 41a was used as the starting material. Compound 161 was produced in 40 percent yield when the same reaction was performed using Compound 21 as the starting material. ##STR32##
Saccharide-Containing Chimeras
Chimeric compounds that include both a fused ring enediyne as the aglycone and a before-discussed mono- or oligosaccharide as the oligosaccharide portion is also contemplated, as noted earlier. The previously depicted saccharides are related to the calicheamicin oligosaccharide.
The before-depicted saccharides correspond to the calicheamicin oligosaccharide (Structures F and G), the oxime precursor thereto (Structures D and E), and fragments thereof (Structures A-C). More specifically, the disaccharide Structure A corresponds to the calicheamicin A and E rings with the hydroxylamine link to a B ring analog. The monosaccharide Structure B corresponds to the A ring alone with the hydroxylamine-linked B ring analog. The trisaccharide thiobenzoate Structure C corresponds to rings A, E and B, and a C ring analog. The 5-ring Structure D corresponds to the FMOC-blocked oxime precursor to the complete calicheamicin oligosaccharide, whereas 5-ring Structure E is the FMOC-deblocked version thereof. Structures F and G are the complete calicheamicin oligosaccharides that are epimeric about the 4-position of the A ring hydroxylamine linkage, with Structure F having the native calicheamicin oligosaccharide stereochemistry. Structure H has the same native configuration as Structure F, but lacks the iodide group on the aromatic ring. These saccharides are discussed in more detail hereinafter.
Inasmuch as the previously depicted saccharides of the calicheamicin oligosaccharide are derivatives of known compounds, as rae their suitably protected precursors, their complete syntheses need not be discussed in complete detail herein. Those syntheses are described in Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:4085-4086 (1990); Nicolaou et al., Ibid., 112:8193-8195 (1990); Nicolaou et al., J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1275-1277 (1990) as well as in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/520,245 filed May 7, 1990 and Ser. No. 07/695,251 filed May 3,1991, all of whose disclosures are incorporated by reference herein. Nevertheless, the saccharides used herein differ somewhat from the reported saccharides, so their syntheses will be discussed, at least in pertinent part herein below.
The disaccharide-linked hydroxylamine compound is prepared in a manner analogous to that of Compound 12 of Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:8193-8195 (1990), except that an o-nitrobenzyl (shown as NBnO or ONBn in the schemes) glycoside is utilized instead of the methyl glycoside precursor, Compound 9 of that paper. The synthesis for the disaccharide is illustrated in Schemes XII and XIII, and is discussed below. ##STR33##
Thus, D-fucose Compound 90 was peracetylated in step a to form tetraacetate Compound 91 which was converted to the anomeric bromide Compound 92 in step b, and glycosylated with o-nitrobenzyl alcohol to afford Compound 93 in step c (63 percent overall yield). Deacetylation of Compound 93 in step d led to Compound 94, which reacted selectively with carbonyl diimidazole in step e to afford the requisite ring A intermediate 95 in 86 percent overall yield. ##STR34##
Turning to Scheme XIII, intermediate Compound 95 was then coupled [Mukaiyama et al., Chem. Lett., 431 (1981); Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 106:4159 (1984)] to glycosyl fluoride Compound 96 (Compound 8 of the above paper; Me=methyl with AgClO.sub.4 --SnCl.sub.2 catalyst in step a, leading stereoselectively to disaccharide Compound 97 as the major anomer (80 percent yield, about 5:1 ratio of anomers). Chromatographic purification of Compound 97 with removal of the carbonate protecting group (NaH-HOCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH, 90 percent) in step b to form Compound 98, and treatment in step c with .sup.n Bu.sub.2 SnO--Br.sub.2 [David et al., J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans 1. 1568 (1979)] led to hydroxyketone Compound 99 (65 percent yield plus 17 percent Compound 98) via intermediate Compound 98.
Oxime formation in step d with O-benzyl hydroxylamine under acid conditions led to Compound 100 (90 percent, single geometrical isomer of unassigned stereochemistry; Ph=phenyl) which was silylated in step e under standard conditions to furnish Compound 101 (90 percent). Photolytic cleavage [Zenhavi et al., J. Org. Chem., 37:2281 (1972); Zenhavi et al., ibid, 37:2285 (1972); Ohtsuka et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 100:8210 (1978); Pillai, Synthesis, 1 (1980)] of the o-nitrobenzyl group from Compound 101 (THF--H.sub.2 O, 15 minutes) produced lactol Compound 102 in 95 percent yield in step f. Treatment of Compound 102 with NaH-Cl.sub.3 CC.tbd.N [Grandler et al., Carbohydr. Res. 135:203 (1985); Schmidt, Angew Chem. Int. Ed., Engl., 25:212 (1986)] in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 for two hours at 25.degree. C. in step g resulted in the formation of the .alpha.-trichloroacetimidate Compound 103 in 98 percent yield. Reaction of benzyl alcohol (2.0 equivalents) with trichloroacetimidate Compound 103 under the Schmidt conditions [Grandler et al., Carbohydr. Res., 135:203 (1985); Schmidt, Angew Chem. Int. Ed., Engl., 25:212 (1986)] [BF.sub.3.Et.sub.2 O, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, -60 .fwdarw. -30.degree. C.] resulted in stereoselective formation of the .beta.-glycoside Compound 104 (79 percent yield) together with its anomer (16 percent, separated chromatographically) [.sup.1 H NMR, 500MHz, C.sub.6 D.sub.6, 104: J.sub.1,2 =6.5 Hz, epi-Compound 104: J.sub.1,2 =2.4 Hz].
On the other hand, treatment of lactol Compound 102 with DAST in step g' led to the glycosyl fluoride Compound 102a in 90 percent yield (about 1:1 anomeric mixture). Reaction of Compound 102a with benzyl alcohol in step h' in the presence of silver silicate [Paulsen et al., Chem. Ber., 114:3102 (1981)] --SnCl.sub.2 resulted in the formation of the .beta.-glycoside Compound 104 and its anomer in 85 percent (about 1:1 anomeric mixture).
Generation of intermediate Compound 106 via Compound 105 proceeded smoothly under standard deprotection conditions in steps i and j. Finally, exposure of Compound 106 to Ph.sub.2 SiH.sub.2 in the presence of Ti(O.sup.i Pr).sub.4 in step k resulted in the formation of the desired target Compound 107 as the only detectable product (92 percent yield). Interestingly, reduction of Compound 106 with NaCNBH.sub.3 --H.sym. led predominantly to the 4-epimer of Compound 107 (90 percent yield). the stereochemical assignments of Compound 107 and epi-107 at C-4 were based on .sup.1 H NMR coupling constants [.sup.1 H NMR, 500MHz, C.sub.6 D.sub.6, 107: J.sub.3,4 =9.5, J.sub.4,5 =9.5 Hz; epi-107: J.sub.3,4 =1.9 Hz, J.sub.4,5 =1.5 Hz].
The hydroxylamine linked A ring derivative (Structure B) can be prepared starting with Compound 9 of Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:8193-8195 (1990). There, the 2-hydroxyl is blocked with a t-butyldimethylsilyl (.sup.t BuMe.sub.2 Si) group as before, and the carbonate group removed by reaction of sodium hydride in ethylene glycol-THF at room temperature. The keto group can be prepared by oxidation with dibutylstannic oxide (.sup.n Bu.sub.2 SnO) in methanol at 65.degree.. The 3-position hydroxyl is similarly blocked with a .sup.t BuMe.sub.2 Si group, and the oxime formed as above.
The trisaccharide plus C ring analog (Structure C) can be readily prepared from Compound 19 of Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:8193-8195 (1990). Thus, that Compound 19 is reacted with benzoyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine and a catalytic amount of DMAP in methylene chloride to provide the blocked oxime-containing trisaccharide.
The use of Compounds 2 and 103 in preparing an exemplary chimera is illustrated in Scheme XIV, below, and discussed hereinafter. ##STR35##
Thus, as shown in Scheme XIV, coupling of Compound 2 with ethyl bromoacetate under basic conditions led to derivative Compound 24c (60 percent yield), which was converted to primary alcohol Compound 111 (80 percent overall yield) by: (i) ester hydrolysis; (ii) 2-pyridyl thiolester formation (collectively step b) and (iii) reduction in step c. Coupling of Compound 111 (1.2 equivalent) with trichloracetimidate Compound 103 under the influence of BF.sub.3. Et.sub.2 O as described before led to the formation of two major products (70 percent, about 1:1 ratio) and two minor products (14 percent, about 1:1 ratio), which were chromatographically separated.
The major isomers were shown to be the diastereomeric .beta.-glycoside Compounds 112a (R.sub.f =0.12, silica, 20 percent ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) and 112b (R.sub.f -0.10, silica, 20 percent ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) [.sup.1 H NMR, 500 MHz, C.sub.6 D.sub.6, 112a; J.sub.1,2 =6.5 Hz; 112b; J.sub.1,2 =6.5 Hz], whereas the minor isomers were shown to be the .alpha.-anomers of Compounds 112a and 112b at C-1 [.sup.1 H NMR, 500 MHz, C.sub.6 D.sub.6, epi-112a, J.sub.1,2 =2.4 Hz: epi-112b, J.sub.1,2 =2.4 Hz]. Sequential deprotection of Compounds 112a and 112b as described above for Compound 104 led to oxime Compounds 114a and 114b via intermediate Compounds 113a and 113b, respectively.
Finally, reduction of Compounds 114a and 114b under the Ph.sub.2 SiH.sub.2 --Ti(O.sup.i Pr).sub.4 conditions led exclusively to the targeted Compounds 115a and 115b respectively (90 percent yield). The C-4 stereochemistry of Compounds 115a and 115b was again based on the coupling constants J.sub.4,3 =9.5 and J.sub.4,5 =9.5 Hz for then newly installed H-4. Structures 112a-115a and 112b-115b are interchangeable since the absolute stereochemistry of the aglycons has not been determined. Physical data for Compounds 115a and 115b are provided hereinafter.
Still further chimeras have been prepared that contain a fused-ring enediyne glycosidically-linked to the complete calicheamicin oligosaccharide or an analog thereof. Exemplary synthetic steps are outlined in Schemes XV and SVI, below. ##STR36##
Thus, a compound such as Compound 111 of Scheme SIV was reacted with phenylthioethanol in the presence of a base as discussed elsewhere to exchange out the phenoxide moiety from the corresponding carbamate. That compound was then oxidized with m-chloroperbenzoic acid to form the corresponding 2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethyl carbamate, Compound 120.
Racemic compound 120 was reacted with Compound 123 as shown in Scheme XV. Compound 123 was prepared from Compound 121 via compound 122, and shown in the scheme and discussed in regard to Scheme XIII as to the preparation of Compound 103. Compound 121 was itself prepared in a manner analogous to that discussed in Nicolaou et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:8193-8195 (1990), except that Compound 99 herein was utilized instead of Compound 12 of the published paper, and Et.sub.3 Si blocking groups were used instead of .sup.t BuMe.sub.2 Si blocking groups that were used in the published paper.
Thus, Compound 121 was irradiated in THF--H.sub.2 O (9:1, v/v) at zero degrees C in step a to provide a 95 percent yield of Compound 122. That compound was reacted with a catalytic amount of NaH and trichloroacetonitrile in methylene chloride (1:12, v/v) at 25.degree. C. to provide a 98 percent yield of Compound 123 in step b. Compounds 120 and 123 were coupled in step c in benzyl alcohol, BF.sub.3.Et.sub.2 O in methylene chloride at -60.degree..fwdarw.-30.degree. C. to provide Compound 124 as a mixture of diastereomeric anomers 124a and 124b present as a .beta.- to .alpha.-anomer ratio of about 5:1, the .beta.-anomer being shown as Compound 124a, and the .alpha.-anomer, Compound 124b, not being shown.
Reaction of Compounds 124a and 124b with .sup.n BuNF using standard conditions removed the triethylsilyl groups. The oximem- and FMOC-containing, hydroxyl deblocked compound that resulted, Compounds 125a and 125b, thus contained the oligosaccharide portion discussed previously as oligosaccharide Structure D. Subsequent reaction with diethylamine under usual conditions removed the FMOC group to form Compounds 126a and 126b. The completely deblocked oxime-containing oligosaccharide portion of Compounds 126a and 126b is the oligosaccharide discussed previously as oligosaccharide Structure E. ##STR37##
Scheme SVI shows only the oxime-containing ring of Compound 126a, with the remaining portions indicated by the wavy lines. As is shown in Scheme XVI, reduction of Compound 126a with sodium cyanoborohydride in BF.sub.3.Et.sub.2 O at -50.degree. C. provided a 65 percent yield of epimeric Compounds 127a and 127b, that were present in about equal amounts. Those compounds were epimeric at the 4-position of the A ring as indicated by the number 4 and the arrow. The epimeric portions of Compounds 127a and 127b provide the oligosaccharide portions previously identified as oligosaccharide Structures F and G, with only the epimer present in calicheamicin (Structure F) being shown in Scheme XVI.
As prepared, Compounds 125-127 were mixtures of diastereomers. Those diastereomers have been separated, but eh absolute configurations of the fused-ring enediyne portions are presently unknown, and only one is illutrated, whereas both were shown in Scheme XIV.
Chimeric Compounds 400 and 401 (shown below) can be preapred by following the chemistry outlined and discussed in relation to Schemes XV and XVI by replacing Compound 120 of Scheme XV with Compound 153. ##STR38##
The data in Table 3, hereinafter, illustrates the effects of several chimeric compounds containing oligosaccharides on the killing of cancer cells. Compounds 127a and 127that contain the calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I oligosaccharide portion linked to an enediyne aglycone portion were found to be particularly effective. Compound 127a contained that oligosaccharide in the native configuration (saccharide F) whereas Compound 127b had the epimeric configuration (saccharide G).
Previous studies by the Ellestad [(a) Zein et al., Science, 240:1198 (1988); (b) Zein et al., Science, 244:697 (1989); (c) Ding et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 113:6617 (1991)], Schreiber [Hawley et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 86:1105 (1989)]; Kahne [(a) Walker et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 112:6428 (1990); and (b) Walker et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 113:4716 (1991)]; and Danishefsky [Dark et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Soc., 88:7464 (1991)] groups suggested selective interactions of the calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I oligosaccharide with duplex DNA along specific sequences within the minor groove. In particular, Schreiber et al. [Hawley et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 86:1105 (1989)] proposed a binding model for this interaction based on both the stereochemistry of the oligosaccharide bonds and the potential of its iodine group to bind to the DNA's nitrogen atoms.
Footprinting studies the O-methyl glycosides of saccharides A, an analog of C, F, G and H, Compounds A-1, C'-1, F-1, G-1 and H-1, respecitvely, as shown below, were designed to probe these questions. Those studies demonstrated that although the calicheamicin oligosaccharide glycoside binds specifically to DNA, the preferred saccharide binding sites do not coincide precisely with those observed for intact calicheamicin. ##STR39##
The oligosaccharides A-1, C'-1, F-1, G-1 and H-1 were obtained by chemical synthesis following procedures similar to those discussed before. The 93 base-pair Sal I - Sph I double-stranded DNA fragment of pBR322 was obtained enzymatically and was [5'-.sup.32 P]-labeled on one strand. pBR322 DNA was cleaved at the unique Sal I site, dephosphorylated using calf intestine phosphatase, [5'-.sup.32 P]-phosphorylated using T4 polynucletide kinase and [g-.sup.32 P] ATP (4.5 .sup.m Ci/pmol), and cleaved again at the unique Sph I site. These precursors generated a 93 base-pair double-stranded fragment, [5'-.sup.32 P]-labeled at the Sal I end, which was purified by gel electrophosresis in a nondenaturing 10 percent polyacrylamide gel and subsequent column chromatography on Sephadex G-25. The oligosaccharides were pre-incubated with the DNA fragment at 37.degree. C. for 30 minutes and DNase I was added to cleave the DNA and generate footprinting patterns by autoradiography.
The autoradiograms showed that the natural oligosaccharide F-1 provided concentration-dependent protection, presumably due to binding, in the region of three calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I binding sites: CTCT, TCCT and AGGA (reading 5'.fwdarw.3' along the labeled strand). The oligosaccharide G-1 with the unnatural stereochemistry at the hydroxylamine nitrogen-bearing C-4 position offered no protection at the same concentrations. A similar lack of protection under the same conditions was observed with the oligosaccharides H-1, in which the iodine atom was replaced by a hydrogen, A-1 and C'-1.
That the protection pattern did not coincide precisely with the observed calicheamicin cleavage sites prompted the carrying out of replicate footprinting studes over a 48 base-pair segment of the DNA fragment. The degree of protection against DNase I digestion offered by both the natural and unnatural stereoisomers was determined by comparing the amount of radioactivity in adjacent lanes along the electrophoresis gel. The protected regions coincided only roughly with calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I recognition sequences [(a) Zein et al., Science, 240:1198 (1988); (b) Zein et al., Science, 244:697 (1989); (c) Ding et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 113:6617 (1991)], Schreiber [Hawley et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 86:1105 (1989)] and observed calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I cleavage sites. The disparity may be due to: (1) imprecise DNA recognition by the carbohydrate moiety alone; (2) impaired access of DNase I at sites adjacent to bound carbohydrate; and (3) distortion of the DNA duplex adjacent to bound carbohydrate which prevents functional recognition by DNase I. Nonetheless, these data demonstrate selective binding of oligosaccharide F-1 with specific base sequences of DNA and illustrate as crucial the natural stereochemistry at C-4 for calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I.
These results show that some, but not all, of the binding specificity of calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1 .sup.I resides in its carbohydrate domain. This is consistent with Schreiber's hypothesis concerning the importance of the iodine and carbohydrate stereochemistry to this binding. However, it appears that the enediyne moiety confers added specificity to the calicheamicin/DNA interactions.
Although the above binding studies help to illustrate the binding specificity for calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1 .sup.I and to corroborate Schreiber's hypothesis as to the importance of the iodide group and stereochemistry, they do not completely explain the binding specificity of that agent nor do they explain efficacies in cancer cell killing exhibited by Compounds 127a and 127b shown in Table 3, hereinafter. Thus, although some binding specificity can be obtained for chimeras bound to saccharide F, chimeras that utilize other saccharides are also useful. This type of activity with and without saccharide binding and DNA cleaving specificities is also shown for calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1 .sup.I and esperimicin, respectively, whose aglycone portions are substantially the same, but whose saccahride portions differ, and which exhibit double DNA strand cuts at specific sequences (calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1 .sup.I) and no strong sequence specificity in DNA cleaving (esperimicin). Zein et al., Science, 244:697 (1989).
Preparation of other chimeras using other appropriate fused ring enediyne aglycones and oligosaccharide portions can be carried out similarly.
As noted earlier, an R.sup.5 group such as that shown in Formula X is preferably a hydroxyl group or a group convertible thereto intracellualarly. The presence of an R.sup.5 hydroxyl group also provides an atom (oxygen) that can be used to link a hydroxyl-containing spacer group that itself can be glycosidically linked to a before-described saccharide. A generalized synthesis is illustrated in Scheme VI. A more specific partial synthesis is illustrated in Scheme XVII, below, that was used to prepare Compound 59. ##STR40##
Thus, in accordance with Scheme XVII, ethyl cyclohexanone-2-carboxylate, Compound 130, was reacted in step a with 1.2 equivalents of ethylene glycol and 0.1 equivalents of TsOH.H.sub.2 O in benzene at reflux for ten hours to form Compound 131. Compound 131 was reacted in step b with sodium methoxide-methanol at reflux for eight hours to form Compound 132 in 78 percent yield from Compound 130.
Compound 132 was then reacted in step c with Compound 133 in the presence of 1.2 equivalents of DCC and 0.1 equivalents of DMAP in methylene chloride at 25.degree. C. for 14 hours to form Compound 134 in 96 percent yield. Compound 134 is a particularly useful intermediate for use in preparing a dynemycin analog of this invention, as is seen from Scheme XVII discussed here, and Scheme XVIIa discussed hereinafter.
Compound 134 was reacted with m-aminophenol in THF at reflux for 96 hours to provide Compound 135 in 87 percent yield in step d. Compound 135 was reacted with benzylbromide, 1.05 equivalents of NaH and 0.1 equivalents of .sup.n Bu.sub.4 NI in THF at 25.degree. C. in step e to form Compound 136 in 72 percent yield.
Compound 136 was cyclized in step f in 37 percent Hcl--THF (1:2.7) at reflux for three hours to provide a mixture of the cyclized product Compounds 137a and 137b in 100 percent yield. Compounds 137a and 137b were formed in about a 4:1 ratio in the order named. Compounds 137a and 137b as a mixture were treated with DIBAL and two equivalents of LiAlH.sub.4 in THF at reflux for three hours and then with oxygen and SiO.sub.2 at 25.degree. C. for 24 hours to form Compound 138 in 50 percent yield.
A similar reaction sequence can be used with p-anisidine in place of the m-aminophenol to form the corresponding methoxy compound. That compound when treated with two equivalents of sodium ethylthiolate in DMF at 160.degree. C., followed by acylation with acetic anhydride and then reaction with sodium methoxide provides the substituted phenol para to the nitrogen atom. That phenol, when treated as in step e forms the benzyl ether, Compound 139.
Another method of preparing Compound 139 is illustrated below in Scheme XVIIa. Here, Compound 134 was reacted directly with 4-aminophenol (step a; 1.0 equivalent, THF at reflux for 15 hours) to form Compound 205 in 86 percent yield. Compound 205 was then benzylated (step b; 1.05 equivalents of NaH, 1.0 equivalents benzyl bromide, 0.1 equivalents of .sup.n Bu.sub.4 NI, THF at 25.degree. C. for one hour) to produce Compound 139.
Compound 206 was prepared in 87 percent yield from Compound 134 by reaction with 5-aminosalicylic acid (step a; 1.0 equivalents, THF at reflux for seven days) Compound 207 was prepared in 77 percent yield from Compound 206 using an excess of benzyl bromide (3.0 equivalents NaH, 3.0 equivalents benzyl bromide, 0.2 equvialents .sup.n Bu.sub.4 NI, THF at reflux for three hours. ##STR41##
Either of Compounds 138 or 139, when treated as in steps a and b of Scheme II, or c-e of Scheme III provides the corresponding benzyloxy Compounds 140a or 140b. Hydrogenation of either of Compounds 140a or 140b using 10 percent Pd/C in ethanol at 25.degree. C. provides the corresponding phenol derivatives Compounds 141a and 141b.
Reaction of either phenol with 1.05 equivalents of NaH and mercaptothiazolyl pivolate in THF provides the corresponding pivaloyl esters Compounds 142a and 142b. The pivaloyl ester Compound 142a was preapred as discussed above after a five minute reaction time at 25.degree. C. in 99 percent yield (1.05 equivalents NaH, 1.0 equivalents of mercaptothiazolyl pivolate; THF).
Similarly, reaction of either of Compounds 141a and 141a with 1.05 equivalents of NaH and of o-nitrobenzyl bromide and 0.1 equivalents of .sup.n Bu.sub.4 NI in THF provides the corresponding photolabile ONBn group and Compounds 143a and 143b. Compound 143a was prepared in 90 percent yield after a one hour reaction time.
Any of Compounds 142a, 142b, 143a or 143b can be used to form a fused-ring enediyne compound of the invention using the steps outlined in the prior reaction schemes, such as Scheme II. For example, following step e of Scheme II, yield of ethynyl group additions were between about 90 and 99 percent, with ratios of trans to cis additions being between about 2:1 and about 6:1. Results for this reaction are shown in the table, below for the examplary meta-substituted quinolines and ethynylation products shown with exemplary ene-diyne-epoxide product numbers also being illustrated.

Scheme XVIII (above) presents an alternative preparation of Compounds 59a and 59b starting from Compound 142a. Thus, coupling of Compound 142a with 1-chloro-4(trimethylsilyl)-but-1-en-3-yne under the standard conditions (step a) gave Compound 209 in 67 percent yield. Epoxidation of Compound 209 with mCPBA in step b led to Compound 210 in 71 percent yield. Reaction of Compound 210 with BF.sub.3.Et.sub.2 O followed by exposure to 48 percent aqueous HBr in THF in step c gave enones Compounds 211 (34 percent) and 212 (18 percent). Removal of the ttrimethylsilyl group from Compound 211 under standard conditions [4.0 equivlanets of AgNo.sub.3, H.sub.2 O-ETOH-THF (1:1:1), 25.degree. C. for one hour, followed by 7.0 equivalents of KCN at 25.degree. C. for ten minutes] led to Compound 213 (90 percent) which was subjected to epoxidation using mCPBA under basic conditions to afford epoxide Compound 213 in 45 percent yield in step e. Cyclization of Compound 213 under the standard LDA conditions in step b (1.0 equivalents LDA, toluene, -78.degree. C., 20 minutes) gave Compound 59a in 80 percent yield. Deoxygenation of Compound 59a proceeded as previously discussed for similar compounds via thionoimidazolide Compound 213a (58 percent yield, plus 33 percent recovered starting material) to afford the targeted Compound 59b (69 percent, plus 9 percent recovered Compound 59a.
The o-nitrobenzyl derivative, Compound 43 was synthesized similarly. This sequence, proceeded in good overall yield. Although quite stable for isolation and characterization purposes, this enediyne proved rather labile as compaed to the ester Compound 59a. Attempted deoxygenation via the thionoimidazolide was not successful due to extensive decomposition at the first stage of the two-step sequence.
The use of Compound 143b to prepare fused-ring enediyne compounds having a spacer portion in the benzo ring para to the carbamate nitrogen atom is illustrated in Scheme XIX, below. ##STR45##
Thus, Compound 143b is reacted as discussed elsewhere herein to form fused-ring enediyne Compound 150. Those prior reactions are indicated schematically by the two arrows between Compounds 143b and 150. Compound 150 is a para-hydroxy analog of the compound formed in step b of Scheme VIII.
Compound 150 is then reacted in step a with 2-bromoethanol and NaH in the THF to form Compound 151. Compound 151 is oxidized in step b as with mCPBA to form Compound 153, whose ethoxyethanol hydroxyl group can be used to form a glysidic link to a saccharide as discussed previously.
In an alternative synthesis, Compound 153 was reacted with the chloride salt of 2-trimethylammonium acetyl chloride (N,N,N-trimethylglycal chloride chloride) to form Compound 250. Compound 250 exhibited enhanced water solubility as compared to Compound 153, and similar in vitro cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines and normal cells, as shown hereinafter in Table 5.
Compound 150 can also be reacted with ethyl bromoacetate and cesium carbonate in acetonitrile as in step c to form the corresponding ethyl carboxymethyl derivative. Hydrolysis of that ester with lithium hydroxide in THF-water and neutralization provides the free acid Compound 152 in step d. Oxidation of the free acid as in step b provides Compound 154. The carboxylic acid group of Compound 154 can be used to form a chimera via an ester link to a before-discussed saccharide, or an ester or amide link to a before-discussed monoclonal antibody.
An alternative synthesis for compounds substituted at C-2; i.e., those having a substitutent para- to the nitrogen atom began with p-anisidine (Compound 270) and ethyl cyclohexanone-2-carboxylate (Compound 130) as is shown in Scheme XX. ##STR46##
Thus, condensation of Compound 270 with Compound 130 under the influence of cnc. H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 and heat [Masamune et al., J. Org. Chem., 29:681 (1964)] produced Compound 271 in 30 percent yield. Reaction of Compound 271 with POCl.sub.3 at 100.degree. C. furnished chloride Compound 272 (94 percent) which was subjected to catalytic hydrogenolysis to afford the requisite Compound 273 (94 percent) [Hollingsworth et al., J. Chem. Soc., 1537 (1948)]. The latter compound served well as precursor to both of Compounds 276 and 279. Demethylation of Compound 273 with NaSEt at 160.degree. C. followed by cooling and in situ acetylation (for isolationn purposes) produced Compound 274 (86 percent overall yield). The phenol Compound 275 was then conveniently generated from Compound 274 by exposure to NaOMe in MeOH at 60.degree. C. (98 percent), and was smoothly converted to its o-nitrobenzyl ether (NBn) Compound 276 (94 percent) and triflate Compound 277 (78 percent) by standard chemistry. Coupling of triflate Compound 277 with acetylenic unit s-[(t-butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy]-prop-1-yne (Compound 278) under the catalytic action of PdCl.sub.2 (PPh.sub.3).sub.2 and CuI furnished the desired target Compound 279 in 97 percent yield.
Functionalization of the C-10 position in these systems (Compounds 273, 276 and 279) was achieved according to Scheme XXI (below), with steps a-c being substantially similar to steps a-c of Scheme II. Oxidation with mCPBA led to N-oxides 280a-c (87-91 percent) which upon heating in acetic anhydride at 70.degree. C. gave the corresponding acetates 281a-c in 56-91 percent yield. Deacetylation with NaOMe in MeOH then furnished the hydroxy compounds 282a-c in 69-89 percent yield. ##STR47##
Compound 282a-c were then synthesized into endiyne compounds 41b-d, 153 and 300 following the general methods outlined in Schemes II, XI and IVII. Details of the sytneses are discussed hereinafter in the examples. It is noted, however, that use of the o-nitrobenzyl protecting group for the phenolic hydroxyl group led to highly crystalline intermediates and permitted photodeprotection.
The results of an exemplary DNA-cleaving study using Compound 40 in a method of the invention are illustrated in FIG. 1. Other compounds such as Compound 41 [Formula X wherein R.sup.1 is phenoxycarbonyl, R.sup.2 =R.sup.3 =R.sup.6 =R.sup.7 =R.sup.8 =H, A is a saturated bond, R.sup.4 is hydroxyl and R.sup.5 is methoxy at the "e" position of the benzo ring] also cleaved DNA. Compound 41 was utilized at a 2 mM concentration at pH 5.0
Compounds 40, 42 and 54 were further found to cause significant DNA cleavage when incubated at 5 mM with supercoiled .phi.X174 DNA at pH 8.0 (FIG. 2). Noteworthy in these studies is the observation of double strand cuts as well as single strand cuts, as is the case with dynemicin A (Compound 1). The methoxy derivatives 47, 55, 58 and 62 exhibited diminished activity against DNA.
The DNA cleaving activity of selected arenediynes is shown in FIG. 6. These compounds show diminished activity towards DNA relative to Compound 40, which is expected given their chemical and steric profiles.
FIG. 7a shows the DNA cleaving activity of 2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethoxycarbamate Compound 153. There was no DNA cleavage activity at acidic pH values, as expected, but Compound 153 did show some DNA cleavage activity at a pH value of 7.0 and higher. The potency of Compound 153 against a panel of tumor cells is shown in Table 4.
The DNA cleavage activity at a pH value of 8.5 of other compounds is shown in FIG. 7b. Again, as expected, the phenylsulfone-containing Compounds 45 and 153 exhbited strong DNA cleavage activity at that pH value. The free phenolic Compound 171 likewise showed strong activity.
Compounds 42 and 201 exhibited significant DNA cleaving action against .phi.X174 supercoiled DNA (FIG. 9). Compound 54 also exhibited DNA cleaving capability (FIG. 9) although its triggering mechanism is not clear at present. As expected from their chemical profiles, Compounds 59a, 59b, 43 and 202 were found to be inert towards supercoiled DNA (FIG. 9).
The compounds also exhibit anti-microbial activity and all of those assayed exhibit some activity in vitro against tumor cells. A graph illustrating the inhibition of MIA PaCa-2 human pancreatic carcinoma cell growth using Compound 2 (DY-1) is shown in duplicate in FIG. 3. Graphs illustrating the inhibition of MB-49 murine bladder carcinoma cell growth for Compounds 2 and 20 (DY-2) are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in quadruplicate and duplicate respectively. Values of IC.sub.50 obtained from the two wider range studies shown in FIG. 4 were 43 nM and 91 nM. In a comparative study, Compound 2 was also shown to be more active against the cancerous MB-49 cells than against non-transformed CV-1 African green monkey kidney cells (ATCC CCL 70) or WI-38 human lung cells (ATCC CCL 75).
The results of an in vivo assay using Compound 45 is shown in FIG. 8. Use of this compound in a dosage of 25 mg/kg in mice infected with a murine leukemia virus increased the life span 175 percent over untreated animals. Also, the toxicity of Compound 45 was significantly less than naturally occurring enediynes. The lethal dose, LD.sub.50, of Compound 45 was in the range of 50 mg/kg, compared to an LD.sub.50 of calichemicin .gamma..sub.1 1 of 5 .mu.g/kg in mice.
Each of the dynemicin A analog Compounds 24a-g exhibited anti-tumor cell activity against MIA PaCa-2 cells, with the esters (Compounds 24b-g) being more potent than the free acid (Compound 24a). Compounds 24a-g were also active against MB-49 cells and inactive against CV-1 and WI-38 cells. Compounds 2b-d shown below each exhibited weaker anti-tumor activity against MB-49 cells than did Compound 2. ##STR48##
The described chemistry supports the viability of two paths as triggering mechanisms for the dynemicin A-type cascade by showing that a lone pair of electrons on a heteroatom (N or O) strategically positioned on the aromatic ring in relation to the epoxide moiety serves to initiate the cycloaromatization reaction. Such reactive species can be generated within the cell by enzymatic reactions, or as shown above, be released from suitable precursors under mild conditions in the laboratory. In addition, the relative stability and observation of Compounds 42, 54, 58 and 62 is interesting in that it allows for the scenario of bioreduction prior to intercalation as well as for the possibility of DNA interacting nucleophilically against quinone methide species. Thus the proposition that dynemicin A may be interacting with DNA by a dual mechanism (nucleophilic and radical) appears attractive, not only because of the observed preference for cleavage of adenine and quanine, but also in view of the chemistry of Compound 42.
Further biological evaluation data are provided hereinafter in Tables 1-5.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Methods
DNA Cleavage Studies
The ethereal solution of Compound 40 produced by the LiAlH.sub.4 reduction of Compound 21 (39 mg, 0.10 mmol) was evaporated in vacuo to dryness and the residue dissolved in THF (4 mL) to give a 25 mM solution of Compound 40, assuming complete conversion of Compound 21. Analysis of Compound 40-induced damage to supercoiled, covalently closed, circular (form I) .phi.X174 DNA was performed by incubation at varying concentrations of Compound 40 (100 .mu.M-5000 .mu.M) in phosphate buffered aqueous solution at 37.degree. C. for 12-24 hours followed by agarose gel electrophoresis to separate the various DNA products.
Thus, a vial containing a 50 micromolar per base pair solution of .phi.X174 Form I double stranded DNA in 2.0 microliters of pH 7.4 phosphate (50 mM) buffers were added 6.0 microliters of the same buffer solution and 2.0 microliters of a 5.0 millimolar ethanol solution of Compound 40.
The vials were then placed in a 37.degree. C. oven for 12-24 hours. A 2.0 microliter portion of glycerol loading buffer solution containing bromothymol blue indicator was added to each vial. A 10 microliter aliquot was then drawn from each. Gel electrophoresis analysis of the aliquots was performed using a 1.0 percent agarose gel with ethidium bromide run at 115 volts for 1 hour. DNA cleavage was indicated by the formation of nicked relaxed circular DNA (form II) or linearized DNA (form III), which was detected by visual inspection of the gel under 310 nanometer ultraviolet light using ethidium bromide.
Procedure for 6-Well Cytotoxicity Assay
MIA PaCa-2 cells, MB-49, CV-1 or WI-38 cells were loaded into each well of a 6-well plate at a density of 100,000 cells/well in 3 ml culture medium. They were incubated for 4 hours (37.degree. C., 7 percent CO.sub.2). Then 6 microliters of solution containing a compound to be assayed were added into 3 ml of medium (RPMI-1640, with 5 percent fetal bovine serum and 1 percent glutamine) in a 500X dilution so that in one well ethanol was added to make a 0.2 percent ethanol control. The plates were then incubated for 4 days (37.degree. C., 7 percent CO.sub.2). The medium was then drained, crystal violet dye (Hucker formula) was added to cover the well bottoms and then they were rinsed with tap water until rinses were clear. The stained cells were solubilized for quantitation with Sarkosyl solution (N-Lauryl sarcosine, 1 percent in water) at 3 ml/well. The absorbance of the solution was then read at 590-650 nm.
Large Scale Screening Against Cancerous Cell Lines
In addition to the screening already discussed, several of the before-described compounds and chimeras were screened against several or all of a panel of ten to twenty-five cancerous cell lines as target cells and seven "normal"cell preparations. This screening utilized a sulforhodamine B cytotoxidity assay as discussed below.

As will be seen from the data of the tables, the compounds and chimeras had activities similar to those of the well known anticancer drugs.
Compounds having an R.sup.4 hydrogen tended to be more active than those having an R.sup.4 hydroxyl or other oxygen-containing group. Compounds whose carbamate portion contained a phenylsulfonylethoxy or naphthylsulfonylethoxy group were about 10 to 100 times more active than similar compounds having a phenoxy group as part of the carbamate. Compounds having an electron releasing group relative to hydrogen para to the carbamate nitrogen atom tended to be equal to less active than those with hydrogen, whereas compounds with an intracellular-formed electron releasing group (e.g. Compounds 59a and 59b) relative to hydrogen meta to that nitrogen atom tended to be more active than compounds having hydrogen at that position.
Turning to the chimeras, the data Table 3 indicate that the chimeras are effective. Those data also indicate that the presence of the FMOC group inhibits activity, but that presence of the oxime does not. Those data also indicate that chimeras having the stereochemistry of the calicheamicin oligosaccharide are more active than those having the epimeric stereochemistry at C-4 of the A ring.
The data of the tables also show compounds and chimeras described herein to be particularly active against Molt-4 leukemia cells. Thus, for those cells, Compounds 59b, 41b, 41c and 41d exhibited IC.sub.50 values 10,000 times more potent than the potency observed against the other cell lines. The activity of chimeric Compound 127a against Molt-4 cells was about 100-times that of the average of the other cell lines examined. Those IC.sub.50 values against Molt-4 cells were also 10,000-100,000 times smaller than the IC.sub.50 values for those compounds against NHDF cells.
That data in Table 4 focus exclusively on the activity of Compound 153 against a panel of twenty-five different cancer cell lines and seven "normal" cell preparations. There are significant differences in the cytotoxities of these cells lines, with IC.sub.50 values ranging from 1.6.times.10.sup.-6 M to an extremely low value of 2.0.times.10.sup.-14 M against the Molt-4 leukemia cell line. This high potency may be due to the increased solubility of Compound 153 in water compared to the other enediyne compounds.
More significantly, Compound 153 showed a relative selectivity for tumor cell lines as opposed to normal, untransformed cells. For example, at a concentration of 10.sup.-8 M Compound 153, only 20 percent of Molt-4 tumor cells exhibited viability. In contrast, 100 percent of normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) were viable at the same concentration. At concentrations between 10.sup.-6 and 10.sup.-7 M, tumor cell lines showed a range of sensitivities, with cell viabilities ranging from 0 to 80 percent, whereas the normal HMEC were 100 percent viable at these concentrations of Compound 153. These data indicate that Compound 153 not only shows selectivity between normal and cancerous cells, but displays tumor cell selectivity as well.
The data in Table 4 also show that except for the three melanoma cell lines, Compound 153 was about one to eight orders of magnitude (10.sup.1 -10.sup.8 times) more active against tumor cells than against "normal" cells Another striking effect shown in Table 4 is the activity of Compound 153 against the multiple-drug resistant TCAF-DAX cell line, with an IC.sub.50 value of 1.7.times.10.sup.-9 M compared to 1.1.times.10.sup.-9 M for TCAF.
In another study, Molt-4 leukemia cells were treated with ethidium bromide, which led to uptake by DNA through intercalcation and consequent fluorescence. Exposure of those cells to Compound 153 (10 .mu.M at 10.sup.7 cells/ml) led to rapid DNA strand breakage as determined by fluorimetry, resulting in 95 percent destruction after four hours at 37.degree. C. Cell death showed about a two-hour delay relative to DNA strand breakage. These observations implicate DNA strand cleavage as the direct cause of cell destruction in these studies.
In separate studies, Compound 153 was also shown to severely impair the ability of M-21 melanoma cells to synthesize DNA (by inhibition of [.sup.3 H]thymidine uptake), and protein (inhibition of [.sup.3 H]leucine uptake). These determinations were made by standard tissue growth procedures using RPMI tissue culture medium supplemented with 10 percent fetal bovine serum plated at 10.sup.4 cells in 100 .mu.l of medium in 96-well tissue culture plates. The cells were permitted to adhere for 24 hours, and the dilutions of Compound 153 were added in 10 .mu.l volumes and incubated for 72 hours at 37.degree. C. in a humidified atmosphere containing five percent CO.sub.2. The plates were then washed three times with tissue culture medium and again incubated for 24 hours, as above. Each well received 1 .mu.Ci of .sup.3 H-labeled substrate, and after an additional 16 hours of incubation, cells were collected on glass fiber filters with a Skatron cell harvester. Finally, the filters were placed in Ecolume scintillation cocktail (ICN, Irvine, CA), and radioactivity was measured with a Beckeman scintillation counter. Incorporation of the .sup.3 H label was calculated as a percentage of untreated controls.
In other studies, IC.sub.50 values were determined for the anti-tumor agents dynemicin A, calicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I, taxol, vinblastine/vincristine, doxorubicin, actinomycin D and bleomycin sulfate against the SK-Mel-28, M-14, M-21, Capan-1, Ovcar-3, Ovcar-4, UCLA-P-3, U-87, U-251 and Molt-4 cell lines. The respective IC.sub.50 values obtained were: 10.sup.-7 -10.sup.-11, 10.sup.-8 -10.sup.-12, 10.sup.-7 -10.sup.-9, 10.sup.-7 -10.sup.-9, 10.sup.-6 -10.sup.-9, 10.sup.-7 -10.sup.-9 and 10.sup.-4 -10.sup.-5 M. Those values can be compared with the Compound 153 IC.sub.50 values for those cell lines of 10.sup.-6 -10.sup.-14 M
Compound 153 exhibited the highest potency amongst all of the agents assayed against the Molt-4 leukemia cell line and was comparable to most of the other agents against the other cell lines. A notable exception to that finding was bleomycin sulfate, which was considerably less active against all the cell lines. Bleomycin sulfate also acts by DNA cleavage, as do dynemicin A and calcicheamicin .gamma..sub.1.sup.I.
Compound 153 was found to remain intact for 1.5 hours in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer (100 mM) at 37.degree. C. At higher pH values, Compound 153 was found to decompose cleanly to form phenyl vinyl sulfone and the corresponding free amine enediyne Compound 153a both of which could be detected by .sup.1 H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrocopy.
The data in Table 5 for the more water soluble derivative of Compound 153, Compound 250, show similar results to those of Table 4, with a few more exceptions to the general rule.
In an in vivo study whose results are shown in FIG. 8, Balb/c mice were injected intra-peritoneally with 10.sup.6 P-388 leukemia cells per mouse (the cells were suspended in 100 .mu.l RPMI medium) on day zero. Therapy was started on day 1 by injecting each group of four animals with the indicated dose of Compound 45, which was administered only once in this assay. The course of therapy was followed by tumor-induced weight change in the animals and by recording death incidents (arrows). The control mice exhibited a rapid exponential weight gain and were euthanized on day 20 due to excessive weight. Animals treated with 12 mg/kg Compound 45 showed a similar but slower weight increase, and on day 20 three of the four animals died. Animals treated with 50 mg/kg Compound 45 showed a rapid weight loss followed by death within 8 days. At the dose of 25 mg/kg Compound 45, the increase in life span over the control group was 175 percent (therapeutic group/control group). Normal mice (non-leukemic mice) exhibit a negligible weight gain over the time period of this study.
The data of FIG. 10 illustrate a further in vivo study using Compound 153. Here, groups of 6-10 week old, female Balb/c BYJ mice (obtained from The Scripps Research Institute breeding colony, La Jolla, CA) 8 per group) were inoculated with 5.times.10.sup.5 cells of the EMT6 tumor cell line, a mammary tumor. The mice were then treated with normal saline (control) or normal saline containing 10 mg/kg of Compound 153 (study) on days 1,5 and 9 after the inoculation.
The average tumor volume was then calculated for each group of mice. As can be seen from the graph of FIG. 10, by day 8 post inoculation, there was a slight difference in the average volume of the tumors, with the study group having a lower tumor burden. By day 20 post inoculation, the control group's average tumor volume was about seven times that of the study group. The data of FIG. 10 also show that by the end of the study period, the untreated, control tumors were growing rapdily, whereas tumor growth of the treated, study tumors was much slower, and almost linear.
An exemplary study was carried out to illustrate that a synthesized endiyne could be linked to a monoclonal antibody (Mab) to form a stable chimer without starting the Bergman cyclization cascade. Compound 153 was used for these studies and was first reacted with glutaric anhydride to form the corresponding glutarate half-ester, Comnpound 402. The free carboxyl group was then converted into an N-hydroxyl succinimidyl ester, Compound 403. Compound 403 was thereafter reacted with Mab KS1/4. Mab KS1/4 binds to the surface of a number of neoplastic cell lines. [Varki et al., Cancer Res., 44:681 (1984); Bumol et al., Hybridoma, 7:407 (1988)] These steps are outlines in Scheme XXII, below. ##STR67##
The resulting chimer, Compound 404, was separated from the reaction mixture by gel chromatography. Based on a presumed molecular weight of 150,000 for the Mab and using optical density measurements to determine the relative amounts of Mab (280 nm) and enediyne (302 nm) present, the chimer Compound 404 was determined to contain an average of about eleven enediyne molecules per Mab molecule.
Chimer Compound 404 was then assayed for its ability to bind to target neoplastic cells using cells of the UCLA-P3 cell line, to which Mab Ks-1/4 is known to bind [Bumol et al., Hybridoma, 7:407 (1988)]. The results of that binding study showed that the chimer bound to the neoplastic cells in a manner similar to that of the free Mab at concentrations of about 10.sup.-12 -10.sup.-9 molar, and more tightly up to about 10.sup.-6 molar. Similar findings were made with Ocvar 3 cells.

Silver nitrate (5.28 g, 31.2 mmol) was added to solution of the silyl acetylene Compound 13 (4.50 g, 9.36 mmol) in 100 mL of a H 20-EtOH-THF mixture (1:1:1) at 25.degree. C., and the mixture was stirred until TLC analysis (30 percent ether in petroleum ether) indicated the consumption of 13 (approximately 1 hour).
