Patent Application
20170166556
The present application relates to salts and polymorphs of aminoalkylfumagillol carbamates (e.g., fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt and fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate hydroxynaphthoic acid salt). The salts and polymorphs of the present application are useful as stable intermediates in the production of fumagillol derivatives (e.g., polymer-conjugated fumagillol derivatives), or as therapeutic agents.
Fumagillin is a small molecule which has been used as an antimicrobial and antiprotozoal agent. Fumagillin's clinical application and those of fumagillol derivatives have been limited by toxicity. Formation of fumagillin-conjugated polymers for therapy requires the existence of one or more stable, pure, fumagillin derived intermediates that do not readily self-condense or hydrolyze (e.g., by reaction of an amine-modified fumagillol with an epoxide on fumagillol). Moreover, impurities covalently bonded to a polymer backbone can be difficult to remove.
The present disclosure is directed to pure, stable derivatives of fumagillol (e.g., Formula I and Formula II). The derivatives can be used as synthetic intermediates to produce polymer-bound fumagillol conjugates. Alternatively, the derivatives can be used directly as therapeutic agents.
The present application is directed to salts of aminoalkylfumagillol carbamates, such as fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt, also known as (1R,4r)-4-(((((3R,4S,5S,6R)-5-methoxy-4-((2R,3R)-2-methyl-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)oxiran-2-yl)-1-oxaspiro[2.5]octan-6-yl)oxy)carbonyl)amino)cyclohexan-1-aminium benzenesulfonate, and fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate hydroxynaphthoic acid salt, also known as (1R,4r)-4-(((((3R,4S,5S,6R)-5-methoxy-4((2R,3R)-2-methyl-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)oxiran-2-yl)-1-oxaspiro[2.5]octan-6-yl)oxy)carbonyl)amino)cyclohexan-1-aminium 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate. The present disclosure also provides for stable, pure, crystalline polymorphs of both of these salts. The salts and polymorphs provided herein are stable and can be used as intermediates in the production of fumagillol derivatives (e.g., polymer-conjugated fumagillol derivatives). These derivatives are in turn useful as therapeutic agents in the treatment of a number of diseases. Additionally, the salts and polymorphs can be used directly as therapeutic agents.

As shown in the tables and figures of the present application, not all values for peaks (pos. ° 2θ) are identical for different lots of the polymorphs of the present application. An artisan of ordinary skill will understand that even different lots of the same polymorphic forms can produce slightly different characterization data, while not being appreciably different. For instance, slight variations in the calibration of the instruments used to perform a given measurement, or minor fluctuations in relative humidity between measurements can give rise to data that displays slight differences between lots. One of ordinary skill in the art will thus be able to, for instance, calibrate his or her instruments and take repeated measurements in order to minimize any discrepancies between signals to properly characterize the polymorphs of the present application. However, despite some minor variation in the batch-to-batch differences, polymorphs of the present application are identified and characterized by their characteristic peaks, such as those described above (e.g., about 6.0, 9.0, and 18.0° 2θ, for instance ±0.2° 2θ).
Table 8 presents the polarimetry data for lots GMP-1 and GMP-2 of Formula I.

Without wising to be bound by theory, it is most likely that these arise from disordered solvent molecules therefore the electron density within these voids were modeled with small mole-fractions of solvent molecules; 0.27 equivalents of water, 0.12 equivalents of methanol and 0.06 equivalents of MTBE. Of these, partially occupied methanol and two partially occupied water molecules were refined at the unit cell origin.
To correct for extinction effects in the observed data, an extinction correction of 0.00031(3) was applied and all hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model with fixed Uiso of 1.2 times for all CH, CH2, NH, and NH3 groups, and fixed Uiso of 1.5 times for all CH3 groups.
The highest residual Fourier peak was 0.80 e. Å3 approx. 1.1 Å3 from C(30). Without wishing to be bound by theory, this likely arises from further disorder present in the solvent void occupied by modeled MTBE molecule centered on O(9). The deepest Fourier hole was found to be −0.41 e. Å approximately 1.54 Å from H(9AA).

Crystallization from Ethyl Acetate
In some embodiments, Formula I and/or Formula II can be crystallized directly from ethyl acetate (e.g., as set forth in Example 5, below. In some embodiments, the crystallization can take place directly from ethyl acetate without first having to acidify the Formula I and/or Formula II free base and extract it into an aqueous layer before basifying the aqueous layer and extracting the free base back into the organic solvent. This can have the advantage of being operationally simpler than recrystallization from methanol and/or tert-butyl methyl ether, and can have the advantage of using less organic solvent while still maintaining purity of the final product (i.e., Formula I and/or Formula II).
Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a process for preparing a polymorph of fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (e.g., Form II), comprising:
In some embodiments, the benzenesulfonic acid is added as a solution in ethyl acetate. In some embodiments, the benzenesulfonic acid is added at a temperature of about 8-12° C.

Accordingly, in some embodiments, the crystallization from ethyl acetate is a reactive crystallization. In some embodiments, the water content in the ethyl acetate free base solution before adding the benzenesulfonic acid/ethyl acetate solution is in the range of 1.0-1.3%.
Synthesis of fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt
fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt can be prepared from the treatment of fumagill-6-yl, p-nitrophenyl carbonate with an excess of trans-1,4-diaminocyclohexane as shown in Scheme 1, below. The free base product is ultimately extracted into MTBE and treated with benzenesulfonic acid as set forth in Example 1, below.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it was found that the free base form of Formula I, i.e., fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate, is inherently unstable due to the presence of both a primary amine and two epoxides. Moreover, it was found that the hemi-tartrate version of Formula I (not pictured) contained significant amounts of self-condensation products Compound 2 and Compound 3, as well as the hydrolysis product Compound 4, each shown above. The hemi-tartrate and benzenesulfonic acid salts also contained an impurity related to the fumagillin (natural product) starting material, Compound 5 (shown above). Extensive experimental efforts could not reduce the impurity levels in the hemi-tartrate to pharmaceutically acceptable levels. Accordingly, it is understood that the fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt and polymorphs thereof of the present disclosure (e.g., Form II) are more stable than the corresponding hemi-tartrate salts and free base.
In contrast to the free base and other salt forms described above, the polymorphs described herein (e.g., Form II) are stable at standard temperature and pressure, for example, as established by the ICH standards for the evaluation of pharmaceutical substances. Accordingly, the polymorphs described herein can be used as robust chemical intermediates as set forth below.
In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a reactive crystallization of a compound of Formula I from the corresponding free base as described in Example 1 and/or Example 5. This process avoids the isolation of free base epoxide, which can in some embodiments undergo self-condensation.
Use of fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt
fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (Formula I) is useful as an intermediate in the synthesis of polymer-conjugated derivatives of fumagillol or fumagillin such as compounds of Formula III:
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a process for making Compound 1:
comprising contacting a compound of Formula I or Formula II:
with a compound of Formula IV:
wherein x is an integer 1 to about 450; y is an integer 1 to about 30; n is an integer 1 to about 50; and LG is a leaving group. In one or more embodiments, the leaving group LG is
Compounds of Formula III can be produced from compounds of Formula I according to the following Scheme 2. As shown below in Scheme 2, Formula I is treated with an HPMA copolymer, which itself is bound to an amino acid chain. The amino acid chain has an appropriate leaving group (LG; for instance para-nitrophenyl) and the reaction takes place in the presence of an appropriate solvent (e.g., DMF).
Certain impurities during the synthesis of compounds of Formula I or II, such as Compounds 2, 3, 4 and 5, as described above, can also react in the same manner as Formula I or II and conjugate to the polymer. This can interfere with the reaction, and also reduce the purity of Formula III because polymer-bound impurities are difficult to remove. The polymorphs of the present application, as shown above, possess high purity, and in particular, comprise minimal amount of Compounds 2, 3, 4 and 5. Accordingly, the polymorphs of the present application are particularly suitable as intermediates for the preparation of compounds of Formula III, and can be used to prepare Formula III in good yield and high purity. Without wishing to be bound by theory, use of a salt presented herein (e.g., Formula I or Formula II) as an intermediate of a compound of Formula III can provide a higher yield and greater purity compared with using the corresponding free base.
Compounds of Formula I or Formula II and the polymorphs of the present application can be useful in the inhibition of MetAP2. In some embodiments, the compounds of Formula I or Formula II or the polymorphs of the present application can be used as inhibitors of MetAP2. Thus, the compounds of Formula I or Formula II or the polymorphs of the present application (e.g., Form II, Form A) can be used to treat diseases or conditions wherein MetAP2 plays a role (e.g., in the onset, regulation, and/or development of the diseases or conditions), such as cancer (e.g., a hematologic cancer such as lymphoma). For example,
Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a compound of Formula I and/or Formula II, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a polymorph of the present application (e.g., the Form II polymorph of Formula I), and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
In providing a mammal with one or more of the compounds or polymorphs of the present application, the dosage of administered compound(s) or polymorphs will vary depending upon such factors as the mammal's age, weight, height, sex, general medical condition, previous medical history, disease progression, tumor burden, route of administration, formulation and the like. For example, a suitable dose of a compound of the disclosure for a mammal in need of treatment as described herein is in the range of about 0.01 mg to about 2000 mg compound per kilogram of body weight. In addition, in the case of Formula II, due to the effects of being bound to the polymer, the agent may be administered at lower doses than typically used in the treatment of a particular disorder. Surprisingly, in some embodiments the polymer conjugates of the disclosure are more active on a weight/weight basis than the corresponding small molecules.
The disclosure is further illustrated by the following examples, which are not to be construed as limiting this disclosure in scope or spirit to the specific procedures herein described. It is to be understood that the examples are provided to illustrate certain embodiments and that no limitation to the scope of the disclosure is intended thereby. It is to be further understood that resort may be had to various other embodiments, modifications, and equivalents thereof which may suggest themselves to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure and/or scope of the appended claims.

The material was gently ground and loaded onto a multi well plate with mylar polymer film to support the sample. the multi well plate was then loaded into the diffractometer running in transmission mode and analyzed, using the following experimental conditions:
Unless otherwise specified, TG/DTA was carried out by the following procedure. Approximately 3 mg of material was weighed into an open aluminum pan and loaded into a simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyzer (TG/DTA) and held at room temperature. The sample was then heated at a rate of 10° C./min from 25° C. to 300° C. during which time the change in sample weight was recorded along with any differential thermal events (DTA). Nitrogen was used as the purge gas at a flow rate of 300 cm3/min.
Unless otherwise specified, DSC was carried out by the following procedure. Approximately 2 mg of material was weighed into an aluminum DSC pan and sealed nonhermetically with a pierced aluminum lid. The sample pan was then loaded into a Seiko DSC6200 (equipped with a cooler) cooled and held at 20° C. Once a stable heat-flow response was obtained, the sample and reference were heated to 220° C. at a rate of 10° C./min and the resulting heat flow response monitored. The sample was cooled back to 20° C. and re-heated to 220° C. and the resulting heat flow response monitored.
Approximately 1 mg of solid was added to a glass microscope slide. The solids were suspended in a single drop of silicon oil and covered with a glass cover slide. The samples were analyzed with polarized and non-polarized light at a magnification of 20×.
For each sample, a 10 mg/mL solution in methanol was prepared. 100 μL aliquots were taken from each of the solutions and used to prepare 1 mg/mL solutions in methanol. The dilute solutions were used to confirm the results of the tests performed on the 10 mg/mL solutions.
Analysis was performed on a Schmidt and Haensch Polartronic H532 polarimeter. The sample was analyzed in a 100 mm cell. The samples were analyzed using light at a wavelength of 589 nm, and at a temperature of 26° C. The specific rotation was calculated the following equation:
αD26=(Angle measured*100)/(Concentration*Path Length).
SXRD analysis was conducted on an Agilent Technologies (Dual Source) SuperNova diffractometer using monochromated Mo Kα (λ=0.71073 A) radiation. The diffractometer was fitted with an Oxford Cryosystems low temperature device to enable data collection to be performed at 120(10) K. The data collected were corrected for absorption effects based on gaussian integration over a multifaceted crystal model, implemented as a part of the CrysAlisPro software package (Agilent Technologies, 2014).
The structure was solved by direct methods (SHELXS97)1 and developed by full least squares refinement on F2 (SHELXL97)1 interfaced via the OLEX2 software package. Images produced for this report were done so via a local program.
Data were collected, solved and refined in the trigonal space-group R3. A search for higher symmetry using the ADDSYMM2 routine of PLATON3 failed to uncover any higher symmetry.
All fully-occupied non-hydrogen atoms were located in the Fourier map and their positions refined prior to refining as anisotropic ellipsoids to describe their thermal behavior.
1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR)
1H-NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker PRO500 (500 MHz) spectrometer or a Bruker AVA500 (500 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts (δ) are quoted in parts per million (ppm) downfield of tetramethylsilane, using residual protonated solvent as internal standard (CDCl3 at 7.26 ppm). Experiments were performed in deuterated chloroform and each sample was prepared at about a 10 mM concentration.
Unless otherwise specified, HPLC was carried out using the following experimental conditions:
A solution of trans-1,4-diaminocyclohexane (102.2 g, 895 mmol, 4.9 eq) dissolved in ethyl acetate (2.8 L) was cooled to 0-5° C. Fumagill-6-yl p-nitrophenyl carbonate (80.8 g, 181 mmol, 1 eq) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (3.2 L) and added over 30 to 90 minutes to the stirred solution of trans-1,4-diaminocyclohexane while maintaining the temperature at 0-5° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for at least 120 minutes at 0-5° C. until the carbonate was <2% of the starting concentration by an HPLC-UV in-process control. The batch was filtered to remove solid byproducts and the solids rinsed with ethyl acetate (2×1.2 L). The ethyl acetate solution was washed with water (0.5 L) and the aqueous phase discarded. The ethyl acetate was extracted with a solution of water (1.6 L) and 10% citric acid (0.24 L). The pH of the aqueous phase was about 6; the ethyl acetate discarded. The aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 10.3 using 1N sodium carbonate (0.87 L). The product in the form of the free base was extracted into MTBE (4×1.6 L). The organic phases were dried with sodium sulfate (4×128 g) as a drying agent. The organic extracts were combined and filtered to remove the drying agent. The drying agent was washed with MTBE (1.4 L). The fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate (free base) in MTBE was cooled to 0-5° C. and seeded with fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (0.8 g). A solution of benzenesulfonic acid (17.7 g, 0.62 eq) in MTBE (0.43 L) was slowly added while the batch was maintained at 0-5° C. The batch was cooled to −20° C. The solids were collected by filtration, washed with MTBE (0.5 L), and dried at ≦35° C. under vacuum to yield fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (68.3 g, 62%, Formula I).
A stirred suspension of fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (68.3 g, 118 mmole, Formula I) in methanol (200 mL) was warmed to 40° C. until a clear solution was obtained. While maintaining a batch temperature of 40° C., MTBE (250 mL) was slowly added until the solution became cloudy. The batch was cooled to 35° C. over an hour. Seeds of fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (684 mg, 1.2 mmole, 1 wt %) were charged. The batch was cooled in 5° C. steps, allowing 30 minutes at each step until the batch reached 2-8° C. and held at 2-8° C. for 10 minutes. Additional MTBE (combined total of 8.8 volumes) was added over 60 minutes, and the batch was held at 2-8° C. for at least 60 minutes. The solids were collected by filtration, washed with MTBE (410 mL), and dried at ≦35° C. under vacuum to yield the desired product (64.6 g, 95%) as the Form II polymorph.
fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (8.1992 g) was dissolved in 39 mL of MTBE:methanol (50:50) to give a starting concentration of approximately 210 mg/mL. The solution was stirred at 50° C. for 30 minutes and monitored by focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) to ensure dissolution. The solution was cooled to 5° C. at a rate of 0.2° C./minute. At 37° C., 0.08 g (ca. 1%) seed material was gently ground using a mortar and pestle and added to the mixture. When the temperature of the solution reached 5° C., a sample was withdrawn and MTBE was added at a rate of 30 mL/hour until 30 mL MTBE had been added. A second sample was withdrawn, and MTBE addition was continued until 60 mL had been added. The crystallization was then stirred for a further 15 minutes. The final slurry was filtered and the resulting material dried in vacuo at 40° C. for about 16 hours.
XRPD spectra for the material produced by the above-described procedure are shown in
fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (8.0514 g) was dissolved in 39 mL of MTBE:methanol (50:50) to give a starting concentration of approximately 210 mg/mL. The solution was stirred at 50° C. for 30 minutes and monitored by focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) to ensure dissolution. An aliquot of MTBE was added to the vessel at a rate of 30 mL/hour. After 10.4 mL MTBE had been added, 0.08 g (ca. 1%) seed material was gently ground with a mortar and pestle and added to the mixture. After 30 mL MTBE was added, a sample was withdrawn. Addition of MTBE was continued and a second sample was withdrawn after the addition of 60 mL MTBE. The solution was then cooled to 5° C. at a rate of 0.2° C./minute.

XRPD spectra for the material produced by the above-described procedure are shown in
fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt was prepared as set forth below. The procedure set forth in Table 17 below demonstrates that it is possible to purify a compound of Formula I directly without having to first acidify the Formula I free base and extract it into the aqueous layer, before basifying the aqueous layer and extracting the free base back into the organic solvent as set forth in Example 1. Without wishing to be bound by theory, this procedure can enable the use of smaller quantities of organic solvent (e.g., methyl tert-butyl ether). This procedure can also be operationally simpler than the process set forth above in Example 1.
As set forth above in Table 17, the water content in step 18 is kept between 1 and 1.3%. Without wishing to be bound by theory, keeping the water content within this range can help facilitate crystallization of the compound of Formula I directly from ethyl acetate in good purity (e.g., >95%). As set forth in Step 29, the yield was increased using this method by about 10-15% compared with the method of Example 1.
The quantities of materials used in the protocol set forth above are given in Table 18, below:
As set forth in Table 18, benzenesulfonic acid monohydrate (i.e., about 12-13% water and about 1-2% impurities) was used in step 20. Without wising to be bound by theory, using about 0.78-0.8 equivalents of benzenesulfonic acid was found to lead to the highest yields and highest purity of Formula I.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, the ethyl acetate trituration and washes in steps 26 and 27 were performed to reduce water content to an acceptable level prior to drying to minimize the risk of water degradation of Formula I.
The HPLC conditions used for this Example are set forth below:
Table 19 below shows the results of in-process controls as measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) for various batches of fumagill-6-yl N-(trans-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate benzenesulfonic acid salt (Formula I). Formula I had a retention time of 16.18 min and a relative retention time of 1. Various impurities, including Compound 2 and Compound 4 are defined by their retention times in Table 19.
As set forth in Table 19, Lots 1-3 are control standards. Lot 1 was produced by the method of Example 1. Lot 2 and Lot 3 are comparison batches, wherein Lot 3 was recrystallized using methanol and methyl tert-butyl ether.
Lots 4-10 are in-process controls measured during the process set forth in Example 5, above. Lot 4 gives HPLC data taken after 1 hour of step 11 of Table 17. Lot 5 gives HPLC data after drying with Na2SO4 in step 17. Lot 6 gives HPLC data after filtering in step 25. Lot 7 gives HPLC data after washing Formula I once with ethyl acetate. Lot 8 gives HPLC data after washing Formula I twice with ethyl acetate. Lot 9 gives HPLC data after filtering Formula I and drying for 10 hours. Lot 10 gives HPLC data after filtering Formula I and drying for 24 hours. As set forth in the analysis of Lot 10, the purity of Formula I after 24 hours of drying was the same as Lot 1, produced by the method of Example 1 without recrystallizing from methanol/methyl tert-butyl ether.
The half-maximal inhibitory concentration(s) (IC50) of Formula I as a single agent against a panel of human hematological tumor cell lines was investigated. All cell lines were grown in their respective proper growth media supplemented with 5-10% FBS and housed in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37° C.
1. 0 hr: Cells were plated in growth media in 96-well microtiter plates at a 200 μL volume. Cells were incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. in a humidified incubator.
2. 24 hr: The test agent's drug doses were achieved using HP D300 Digital Dispenser. Briefly, the digital dispenser added test agent in a DMSO solvent at precise volumes to media containing wells. Control wells received equivolumes of DMSO that test agents wells received. Following drugging, cells were exposed at the concentrations and dilutions described in Table 20 for 72 hours at 37° C. in a humidified incubator.
3. 72 hr: Following 72 hour exposure, 100 μl of a 1:1 mixture of sterile water and CellTiter Glo® Reagent was added to each well. The plates are incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. After incubation, luminescence was recorded using a luminometer. The results are shown below in Table 21 and in
IC50 Determination: Data is expressed as the percent cell growth of the untreated (vehicle) control calculated from the luminescence signals. The surviving fraction of cells was determined by dividing the mean luminescence values of the test agents by the mean luminescence values of untreated control. The inhibitory concentration value for the test agent(s) and control was estimated using Prism 6 software (GraphPad Software, Inc.) by curve-fitting the data using the non-linear regression analysis.
While the present disclosure has been described in conjunction with the specific embodiments set forth above, many alternatives, modifications and other variations thereof will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. All such alternatives, modifications and variations are intended to fall within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
