More particularly, this invention relates to ethylene glycol derivatives, inclusive of salts thereof, which have the formula: ##STR3## wherein n is an integer of 1 to 15; R.sup.1 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing 6 to 26 carbon atoms; R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently H or lower alkyl, or ##STR4## represents a cyclic ammonio group.
Referring to the above formula (I), R.sup.1 for an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue of 6 to 26 carbon atoms which may be straight-chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated includes, for example, C.sub.6-26 alkyls, C.sub.6-26 alkenyls and C.sub.6-26 alkynyls, preferably C.sub.8-26 alkyls and C.sub.8-26 alkenyls, and these groups may be further substituted by OH, mercapto, amino, oxo, carbamoyl, carboxyl, halogen, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl, phenyl, etc. Specific examples of R.sup.1 are C.sub.10-20 alkyl [e.g. n-dodecyl, n-tridecyl, n-tetradecyl, n-pentadecyl, n-heptadecyl, n-eicosanyl, n-docosanyl, dihydrophytyl], C.sub.10-20 alkenyl [e.g. 8-tridecenyl(.DELTA..sup.8), 8-tetradecenyl(.DELTA..sup.8), 8,11-tetradecadienyl(.DELTA..sup.8,11), heptadecenyl(.DELTA..sup.8), 1-heptadecenyl(.DELTA..sup.1), 8,11,14-heptadecatrienyl(.DELTA..sup.8,11,14), 8,11-octadecadienyl(.DELTA..sup.8,11), 4,7,10,13-nonadecateraenyl(.DELTA..sup.4,7,10,13), phytyl, 12-(2,3-cyclopentenyl)dodecyl, 12-(2,3-cyclopentenyl)-5-dodecenyl, 11-hydroxy-8-heptadecenyl, 3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraenyl], C.sub.14-24 aralkyl [e.g. 15-(4-n-butylphenoxy)pentadecyl, .omega.-(p-tolyl)heptadecyl, 6-(4-pentylphenoxy)hexadecyl, 4,7,10,13-nondecatetraynyl, heptadeca-8-ynyl, etc.]
Referring to R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 which represent H or lower alkyl, the lower alkyl is exemplified by C.sub.1-5 alkyl (e.g. methyl, ethyl, n-, iso- or tert-butyl). When at least one or more of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are H (e.g. R.sup.2 =H), the compound (I) can be represented by the formula: ##STR5## wherein the symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore.
The cyclic amino group ##STR6## includes, for example, pyridinio, oxazolio, thiazolio, pyridazinio, quinolinio, isoquinolinio, etc., each of which may have such substituent groups as C.sub.1-4 alkyl (e.g. methyl, ethyl), hydroxyl, hydroxyethyl, aminoethyl, amino (imino), carbamoyl, ureido, etc. Further species of said cyclic ammonio group includes cases in which any two members of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 form a ring structure with the quaternary nitrogen atom, with the remaining one member being a C.sub.1-4 alkyl groups (e.g. methyl, ethyl). Thus, for example, N-methylmorpholino, N-methylpiperadinio, etc. may be further mentioned.
In the present compounds, a preferred embodiment is a compound (I) wherein n is an integer of 1 to 15; R.sup.1 is C.sub.6-26 alkyl, C.sub.6-26 alkenyl or C.sub.6-26 alkynyl, each of said groups being unsubstituted or substituted by hydroxyl, mercapto, amino, oxo, carbamoyl, carboxyl, halogen, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl or phenyl; and R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently hydrogen or C.sub.1-5 alkyl, or ##STR7## represents cyclic ammonio selected from the group consisting of pyridinio, oxazolio, thiazolio, pyridazinio, quinolinio, isoquinolinio, N-C.sub.1-4 alkylmorpholinio and N-C.sub.1-4 alkylpiperazino, each of said groups being unsubstituted or substituted by C.sub.1-4 alkyl, hydroxyl, hydroxyethyl, aminoethyl, amino, carbamoyl or ureido, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Referring further, to formula (I), n is an integer of 1 to 15, preferably 1 to 9, especially 1 to 4.
It should be understood that the compound (I) may also exist in the form of a salt having the formula: ##STR8## wherein n and R.sup.1 are defined above, and X.sup.- is an anion (e.g. Cl.sup.-, Br.sup.-, or I.sup.-), or a salt of the formula: ##STR9## wherein n and R.sup.1 are as defined above, and M.sup.+ is an alkali metal (e.g. Na, K) ion or an alkaline earth metal (e.g. Ca, Mg) ion.
The Compound (I) of this invention can be produced by, for example, the following methods.
METHOD A
A compound of the formula: ##STR10## [wherein n and R.sup.1 are as defined hereinbefore] is reacted with a compound of the formula: ##STR11## [wherein X and Y each is halogen (e.g. Cl, Br, I)] to give a compound of the formula: ##STR12## [wherein R.sup.1, n, X and Y each is as defined hereinbefore] and, then, water is permitted to act on the last-mentioned compound (IV) to give a compound of the formula: ##STR13## [wherein R.sup.1, n and Y are respectively defined hereinbefore]
This compound (V) is further reacted with a compound of the formula: ##STR14## [wherein the symbols have the meanings respectively defined hereinbefore] to give the desired compound (I).
The compound (II) used in the above method can be prepared by the known method, e.g. the method described in Oda R. and Teramura K.: The Synthesis and Application of Surfactants (Kaimenkassei-zai-no-gosei-to-sono-ohyo), Maki Shoten, pp. 141-143.
When at least 2 members of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are H, the following method B can be utilized.
METHOD B
The compound (II) is reacted with a compound of the formula: ##STR15## [wherein X is as defined hereinbefore; either R' or R" is R.sup.2 and another is a protective group (e.g,. --COOCH.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.5, --COOC.sub.6 H.sub.5, --CHO, --COCF.sub.3, --COCH.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.5 or --SiMe.sub.3, --C(C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.3), or R' and R", on cyclization with the adjacent N atom, represent ##STR16## followed by treatment with water and removal of the protective group an adequate method known per se, to give a compound which belongs to the compound (I) and is represented by the formula: ##STR17## [wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and n are as defined hereinbefore].
METHOD C
A compound of formula (II) is reacted with a phosphorylating agent to give a compound of the formula: ##STR18## [wherein R.sup.1, n and X are as defined hereinbefore], which is then reacted with a compound of the formula: ##STR19## [wherein R' and R" are as defined hereinbefore], followed by treatment with water and removal of the protective group to give a compound (I"), or a compound (VII) is reacted with a compound of the formula:
HOCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Z (IX)
[wherein Z is ##STR20## or Y as defined hereinbefore], to give the compound (I) or compound (V). The compound (V) can be converted to the compound (I) by the method previously mentioned.
The compound (I) of this invention and salts thereof have growth inhibiting and cell differentiation (decarcinogenesis) inducing activities against tumor cells (e.g. mouse spontaneous leukemia cells MI, Rauscher virus-induced mouse leukemia cells R-453, human myelocytic leukemia cells HL60). It also has an antitumor activity in in vivo tumor systems where the rate of tumor growth is relatively slow.
On that occasion, not only cytocidal and differentiation inducing activities but also immunopotentiation activities are observed. More specifically, they show a life span prolonging action when administered to tumor-bearing animals such as mice or rats with spontaneous tumor, carcinogen-induced solid tumor or Ehrlich carcinoma, or nude mice transplanted with human tumor cells.
The compounds of this invention are of relatively low toxicity. For example, the compound of Example 7 causes no deaths in CDF.sub.1 mice even at an intraperitoneal dose of 100 mg/kg (observation period: one week). The hemolytic activity of these compounds is also low in general. For example, in a hemolysis test (with human erythrocytes) by the method of Gottfried et al. [J. Lipid Research, 4, 57 (1963)], the 50% hemolytic concentration of the compound of Example 15 was about 10 .mu.g/ml. In the presence of 5% human albumin, the concentration was several times as high (the hemolytic activity being several times as low).
The present compound can be administered as an antitumor agent to a warm-blooded animal afflicted by malignant tumors such as leukemia, and can produce significant life-span prolonging effect. Generally, the compound of the present invention represented by formula (I) is obtained in the form of a crystalline powder or a powder, and is sufficiently hydrophilic as well as lipophilic. When the compound is used as an antitumor agent, it can safely be administered parenterally or orally as a variety of pharmaceutical composition such as injectable solution, tablet, capsule, solution or ointment.
Injectable solutions, solutions for drip infusion and the like containing the compound can be prepared in a conventional manner using, for example, physiological saline or an aqueous solution containing glucose and/or other auxiliaries. Tablets, capsules and the like can also be prepared in a conventional manner. These are prepared as unit dosage forms and applied by an adequate route of administration depending on the purpose of administration thereof. In the case of injectable solutions, for instance, they are administered by intravenous or subcutaneous injection or directly applied to the affected resion. The dose for tumor-bearing warm-blooded animals can adequately be determined depending on the symptom, route of administration, etc., generally within the range of about 0.05-75 mg/kg body weight, preferably within the range of about 0.5-30 mg/kg body weight. As to the frequency of dosing, the drug can be administered daily or at 2- to 5-day intervals. It is also possible to administer the drug 1-4 times a day or by intravenous drip infusion so as to maintain the drug concentration in tissues at a required level for a prolonged period of time.
Furthermore, the compound (I) of this invention has antifungal or antimycotic activity. Such antimycotic activity includes, among others, the activity against Trichophyton, Cryptococcus neoformans and yeasts. Therefore, the compound (I) is useful in the treatment and prevention of diseases caused by these fungi, such as trichophytia. Antimycotic preparations containing the Compound (I) can be produced in a conventional manner. The amount of the active ingredient is not critical, but, when the preparations are used in the treatment of trichophytia, for instance, the amount of the compound of this invention is generally about 0.01-70% by weight, preferably about 0.1-5% by weight, based on the whole preparation. The antimycotic preparations can be administered in a conventional manner. Thus, for example, they are advantageously applied to or sprayed on the affected part once to several times a day.
The compound (I) of this invention is also active against phytopathogenic pests, especially fungi, hence is also useful as an agricultural fungicide for combating such plant diseases as rice blast, rice Helminthosporium leaf spot, rice stem rot, gray mold and cucumber anthracnose. Agricultural fungicide preparations containing the compound are made in a conventional manner. Adequate contents of the active ingredient are generally about 10-90% for emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders and the like, about 0.1-10% for solutions, dusts and the like, and about 5-50% for granular preparations. Emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders and the like should preferably be sprayed after adequate dilution with water or the like (e.g. 50-5,000-fold dilution). The agricultural fungicide preparations are applied by various methods known per se in such a manner that the active ingredient be applied generally in an amount of about 10-300 g per 10 ares and the concentration of the active ingredient desirably be in the range of about 10-1,000 ppm.
The compound (I) of this invention is only sparingly active against bacteria in general and yet is active against protozoa (e.g. Tetrahymena), which activity in association with the aforesaid antimycotic activity thereof makes the compound (I) of value as an antimycotic/antiprotozoal agent for the assay of bacterial ecologies in the soil, activated sludge, body fluids, etc. Thus, for example, in isolating useful bacteria from the soil, or in detecting the activity of bacteria alone to the exclusion of protozoa and fungi for operation or analysis of the activated sludge process in waste water treatment, selective growth of bacteria is possible without allowing fungi and protozoa present in the sample to grow. More detailedly, the test sample is added to a liquid or solid culture medium, then 0.1 ml of an aqueous solution of the compound (I) having a concentration of about 10 .mu.g/ml to 100 mg/ml is added, and incubation is performed.

The following examples and test examples illustrate the present invention in more detail. However, they are by no means limitative of the present invention.

DOSAGE FORM EXAMPLE 1
3,6-Dioxaeicosyl 2-trimethylammonioethyl phosphate (80 g) is dissolved in 1 liter of distilled water, the solution is passed through a sterilization filter, poured into 1,000 vials (1 ml per vial) and lyophilized, and the vials are tightly stoppered.
Separately, a solution containing xylitol or mannitol (100 g in 2 liters) in distilled water for injection is poured into 1,000 ampules for injectable solution (2 ml per ampule) in an aseptic manner, and the ampules are sealed by fusing.
For administration, the powder in one vial is dissolved in the above-mentioned xylitol (or mannitol) solution in one ampule.
DOSAGE FORM EXAMPLE 2
Tablets, each weighing 370 mg and having a diameter of 9.5 mm, are prepared in a conventional manner by mixing the ingredients:
(1) 3,6-Dioxatetracos-15(Z)-enyl 2-trimethylammonioethyl phosphate: 100 mg per tablet
(2) Lactose: 200 mg per tablet
(3) Corn starch: 51 mg per tablet
(4) Hydroxypropylcellulose: 9 mg per tablet
followed by granulation, addition of corn starch (8 mg per tablet) and magnesium stearate (2 mg per tablet) and tableting.
DOSAGE FORM EXAMPLE 3
Tablets containing 2-[2-(dodecyloxy)ethoxy]ethyl 2-pyridinioethyl phosphate are prepared in the same manner as in Dosage Form Example 2, and coated with a solution of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate (14 mg per tablet) and castor oil (1 mg per tablet) in an acetone-ethanol (4:6) mixture, the concentration of the solutes being 7%. Thus are obtained enteric coated tablets.
