Fluoro-substituted epipodophyllotoxin glucosides

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to fluoro substituted 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin glucosides, to their use as antitumor agents, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
2. Background Art
4'-Demethylepipodophyllotoxin glucosides of formula I are antitumor agents derived from the naturally occurring lignan, podophyllotoxin II. The method for their ##STR1## synthesis is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,524,844 to Keller-Juslen et al. Among compounds of formula I, etoposide (Ia) and teniposide (Ib) have been established as clinically useful against a variety of tumors including small cell lung, ovarian, testicular, breast, bladder, brain, non-lymphocytic leukemia, and Hodgkin's disease.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,547,567 and 4,716,221 disclose compounds of formula III ##STR2## wherein one of X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 is OH, and the other is an amino, a monoalkylamino, or a dialkylamino group. These derivatives are said to exhibit high water solubility and they represent examples of epipodophyllotoxin glucosides in which the substituents on the sugar portion are modified.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides antitumor compounds of formula IV ##STR3## wherein R.sup.2 is H and R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of (C.sub.1-10)alkyl; (C.sub.2-10)alkenyl; (C.sub.5-6)cycloalkyl; 2-furyl; 2-thienyl; (C.sub.6-10)aryl; (C.sub.7-14)aralkyl; and (C.sub.8-14)aralkenyl wherein each of the aromatic rings may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more groups selected from halo, (C.sub.1-8)alkyl, (C.sub.1-8)alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, and amino; or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each (C.sub.1-8)alkyl; or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 and the carbon to which they are attached join to form a (C.sub.5-6)cycloalkyl group; one of R.sup.3 or R.sup.4 is OH and the other is F; R.sup.5 is H or a phenol protecting group; and represents an .alpha.- or .beta.-glycosidic linkage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Compounds of the present invention having the general formula IV may be prepared by condensing 4'-protected-4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin V ##STR4## wherein R.sup.5 is a phenol-protecting group, with a compound of formula VI ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as above defined, and one of R.sup.3' or R.sup.4' is a protected hydroxyl group and the other is F, to give a compound of formula VII ##STR6## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3', R.sup.4', R.sup.5 and are as previously defined. The condensation reaction is carried out in an inert organic solvent, for example methylene chloride or ethylene chloride, at a temperature below 0.degree. C., and in the presence of a catalyst such as boron trifluoride ethyl etherate. The reaction time may be from about 10 minutes to about 5 hours, preferably from about 30 minutes to about 1.5 hours. The action of boron trifluoride ethyl etherate may be quenched by the addition to the reaction mixture a tertiary amine such as pyridine or triethylamine. The choice of hydroxyl and phenol protecting groups is not particularly restricted and may include the formation of acyl derivatives such as esters and carbonates, ethers, acetals, and the like. These protecting groups may be removed using conventional deblocking methods, the choice of which depends on the nature of the protecting groups employed. Typical methods that may be mentioned include hydrogenation, acid or base catalyzed hydrolysis, and alcoholysis in the presence of a metal catalyst such as zinc powder or zinc acetate. It is not critical which of the hydroxy or phenol protecting group is removed first, or the protecting groups may be chosen such that they may be removed in the same step.
Compound of formula VI in turn may be prepared by reacting a sugar of formula VIII ##STR7## wherein one of R.sup.3" or R.sup.4" is hydroxy or protected hydroxyl and the other is F, and R.sup.6 is H or a hydroxy protecting group; with a carbonyl compound of formula R.sup.1 C(O)R.sup.2 or an acetal or a ketal thereof, wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as above-defined. The reaction is carried out in an inert organic solvent such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, or mixtures thereof, in the presence of an acid catalyst, for example hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, toluenesulfonic acid, or a Lewis acid such as zinc chloride. The reaction temperature may be from about 10.degree. C. to about 50.degree. C., and preferably at ambient temperature. The compound of formula VIII wherein one of R.sup.3" or R.sup.4" is hydroxy may be converted to the corresponding hydroxy-protected compound using conventional methods such as formation of ester, ether, or acetal; for compounds of formula VIII wherein R.sup.6 is a hydroxyl protecting group, said hydroxyl protecting group may be selectively removed by treatment with, for example, alumina as described by Herzig and Nudelman, Carbohydrate Research, 1986, 153: 162-167.
The starting materials for compounds of formula VIII, viz. 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose, 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucose, and their acylated derivatives may be prepared according to literature procedures; for example the procedure of Kovac, Carbohydrate Research, 1986, 153: 168-170 for the preparation of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose, and the procedure given in Tewson and Welch, J. Org. Chem., 1978, 43: 1090-1092 for making 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucose.
Alternatively, the above described reaction sequence may be varied by first condensing V with a sugar of formula IX ##STR8## wherein R.sup.3' and R.sup.4' are as defined above, and A is a hydroxy protecting group, to form a compound of formula X ##STR9## wherein A, R.sup.3', R.sup.4', and R.sup.5 are as defined above. The removal of the hydroxyl protecting groups followed by coupling with R.sup.1 C(O)R.sup.2 or an acetal or a ketal thereof provides compounds of formula IV.
It has been noted that the condensation of V with a fluoro-D-glucopyranose or a protected derivative thereof, or with its 4,6-O-acetal or ketal derivatives may result in a mixture of .alpha.- or .beta.-glycosides. The mixture may be separated into the individual components using known separation techniques such as column chromatography. The separation of the isomers may be effected at any convenient time in the reaction sequence.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
Representative compounds of the present invention were evaluated for antitumor activity against murine transplantable P388 leukemia. Five-week old female CDF.sub.1 mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with 0.4 ml of diluted ascitic fluid containing 10.sup.6 lymphocytic leukemia P388 cells. Test compounds were administered intraperitoneally as a single dose on day 1 and animals were observed for 45 days. The percent increase of median survival time (MST) of treated animals over that of untreated control animals was determined and reported as % T/C. Compounds showing % T/C values of 125 or greater are considered to have significant antitumor activity. Table I presents the results of the in vivo evaluation; only the maximum % T/C and the dose giving the maximum effects are reported.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for inhibiting mammalian tumors which comprises administering an effective tumor-inhibiting dose of an antitumor compound of formula IV to a tumor bearing host. For this purpose, the drug may be administered by conventional routes including, but not limited to, intravenous, intramuscular, intratumoral, intraarterial, intralymphatic, and oral.
A further aspect of the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound of formula IV and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The antitumor composition may be made up of an pharmaceutical form appropriate for the desired route of administration. Examples of such compositions include solid compositions for oral administration such as tablets, capsules, pills, powders and granules, liquid compositions for oral administration such as solutions, suspensions, syrups or elixirs and preparations for parenteral administration such as sterile solutions, suspensions or emulsions. They may also be manufactured in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved in sterile water, physiological saline or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use.
Optimal dosages and regimens for a given mammalian host can be readily ascertained by those skilled in the art. It will, of course, be appreciated that the actual dose used will vary according to the particular composition formulated, the particular compound used, the mode of application and the particular site, host and disease being treated. Many factors that modify the action of the drug will be taken into account including age, weight, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, condition of the patient, drug combinations, reaction sensitivities and severity of the disease.
The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention which is defined solely by the claims appended to this application.
Preparation of Starting Materials
A. Preparation of 3-O-acetyl-4,6-O-ethylidene-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glycose (XI)

2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose was prepared according to the method described by Kovac, P. (Carbohydrate Research, 1986, 153: 168-170). The first step of teh reaction involves the conversion of D-mannose into 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-.beta.-D-mannopyranose and is a modification of the procedure described by Deferrari, J. O. et al (Carbohydrate Research, 1967, 4: 432-434).
The acetic anhydride (50 ml) was added a few mg of D-mannose followed by 70% perchloric acid (2 drops). To the yellow solution was added D-mannose (13.2 g, 7.3 mmol) portionwise with continuous stirring during 35 minutes, the internal temperature being kept at 40.degree.-45.degree. C. The mixture was kept at room temperature for 60 minutes, and then cooled to 15.degree. C., and phosphorus tribromide (10.6 ml) was added dropwise while the internal temperature was kept at 20.degree.-25.degree. C. Water (4.6 ml) was added and the mixture was kept for 60 minutes at room temperature. A solution of sodium acetate trihydrate (40 g) in water (50 ml) was slowly added, the internal temperature being kept at 35.degree.-40.degree. C., and the resulting yellow solution was kept at this temperature for 10 minutes. The solution was then poured into ice-water, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform (3.times.40 ml). The chloroform extracts were combined and successively washed with cold water, cold sodium bicarbonate solution, and cold water, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The organic solution was evaporated to dryness and the residue was crystallized from ether to yield 5.3 g (21%) of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-.beta.-D-mannopyranose as colorless crystals.
