Lewis X derivatives

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a Lewis X derivative in which hydroxyl at 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine is substituted with fluorine, and to a synthetic intermediate thereof. This derivative and synthetic intermediate are useful, for example, as a sugar chain-related physiologically active substance and an intermediate for synthesis thereof.
In this specification, Ac denotes acetyl, Me denotes methyl, Bz denotes benzoyl and Bn denotes benzyl.
BACKGROUND ART
Sialyl Lewis X sugar chain, which is an oligosaccharide containing fucose, has recently attracted attention as a molecule involved in homing phenomena in which upon inflammation, leukocytes interact with vascular endothelial cells and bleed out of the blood vessel.
Some of the homing phenomena start with interaction of the sialyl Lewis X oligosaccharide with a lectin-like cell adhesion molecule called selectin. Therefore, if the sialyl Lewis X oligosaccharide can be used as a selectin binding inhibitor, it is expected to suppress acute inflammations depending on neutrophils (one of leucocytes) and on selectin. In fact, a group of the University of Michigan demonstrated that administration of sialyl Lewis X sugar chain (3) ameliorates acute pulmonary inflammation that has been experimentally induced in rats using a cobra venom factor [M. S. Mulligan et al., Nature 364, 149 (1993)].
Later, as a result of synthesis of various sialyl Lewis X derivatives and study about their structure-activity relationship, it became clear that the following portions are important as counter ligands: (i) carboxylic acid of sialic acid, (ii) the residue of fucose and (iii) hydroxyl groups at 4- and 6-positions of galactose. Also concerning inhibitory activity against one of the selectins called P-selectin, recent work has revealed that a sugar chain (4) deoxidized at 1-position of the reducing terminal is about 20 times as potent in inhibitory activity as the above sugar chain (3). Furthermore, a potent selectin blocker "GSC-150" (5) has been developed by synthesis of a Lewis X derivative by substituting sialic acid of a sialyl Lewis X with an acidic functional group (e.g., sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, carboxylic acid, etc.) and subsequent study of its selectin-adhesion inhibitory activity. A branched long chain alkyl exists at a reducing terminal of this compound, and this portion is thought to play a key role in expression of the inhibitory activity [H. Kondo et al., Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 39, 1339 (1996); H. Kondo et al., Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 39, 2055 (1996); A. Hasegawa et al., Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry 14, 353 (1995). ##STR2##
As seen from the above, Lewis X derivatives are known as ligand portions of E-, P- or L-selectin having action as a cell adhesion molecule, and are important compounds having a function as a recognition element of cells specifically expressing these selectins. It is meaningful to synthesize sialyl Lewis X derivatives modified with fluorine in an organic chemical manner and to provide them in practical amounts.
As such a compound, the present inventors conceived a Lewis X derivative having fluorine in place of hydroxyl at 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine. However, there was no known method for position-selective fluorination to synthesize a Lewis X sugar chain in which hydroxyl at 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine is fluorinated.
An object of the present invention is to provide a new fluorine-containing Lewis X derivative and a synthetic intermediate thereof.
The fluorine-containing Lewis X derivative and the synthetic intermediate according to the invention are useful as a 6-fluorine derivative and an intermediate for synthesis of its analogues, the 6-fluorine derivative possessing improved metabolic stability as compared with conventional selectin blockers such as 1-deoxy sialyl Lewis X (4) and GSC-150 (5).
The fluorine-containing Lewis X derivative of the invention has selectin inhibitory activity because it contains (i) carboxylic acid of sialic acid, (ii) the residue of fucose and (iii) hydroxyl groups at 4- and 6-positions of galactose, which are necessary portions for activities of sialyl Lewis X derivatives. Moreover, because of fluorination of 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine, the position being prone to be modified metabolically, the derivative of the invention has the advantage of exhibiting improved metabolic stability in vivo as a physiologically active substance.

The fluorinated Lewis X derivative of the invention contains galactose, fucose and glucosamine lactose portions as essential components, as shown in formulae (I), (VI)-(X).
Of the Lewis X derivatives, the present inventors first synthesized a fluorine-containing fucosylglucosamine p-methoxybenzyl compound (XI) and prepared therefrom a new compound of the following formula (XIII), which was then reacted with a known compound of the following formula (XVII) to produce a compound (XV), to which sialyl galactose was further introduced to give a sialyl Lewis X sugar chain (XVIII). ##STR11##
Subsequently a ceramide portion was introduced to give the first desired compound (VI).
First, a fluorine-containing .alpha.-fucosyl-(1.fwdarw.3)-glucosamine derivative of formula (II) is synthesized according to the reaction steps shown below in Reaction Scheme 1. When R.sup.4 is phthalimide, for example, methyl 2-deoxy-2-phthalimide-1-thio-3,4,6-triacetyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranose as a starting material is reacted with p-methoxybenzyl alcohol in the presence of a condensation promotor such as N-iodosuccinimide-scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate. The resulting p-methoxybenzylglycoside is deacetlylated, benzylidenated and .alpha.-fucosylated, followed by elimination of benzylidene. The resulting compound is fluorinated with a fluorinating agent (diethylaminosulfurtrifluoride) to give a compound wherein only 6-postion is fluorinated (corresponding to formula (XI) of the invention). Here, alternatively, R.sup.4 may be 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorophthalimide, 4,5-dichlorophthalimide or the like. ##STR12##
More specifically, fluorine-containing .alpha.-fucosyl-(1.fwdarw.3)-glucosamine derivatives (compounds (7), (8) and (9)) are synthesized according to the reaction steps shown below in Reaction Scheme 2. A commercially available methyl 2-deoxy-2-phthalimide-1-thio-3,4,6-triacetyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranose as a starting material is treated with p-methoxybenzyl alcohol using N-iodosuccinimide-scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate as a condensation promotor in the presence of Molecular Sieve to give p-methoxybenzylglycoside compound (1). This compound is treated with sodium methoxide-methanol to remove acetyl and then reacted with benzaldehydedimethylacetal in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid to give benzylidene compound (3). Subsequently, using methyl 2,3,4-tribenzyl-1-thio-.beta.-L-fucopyranoside (compound (4)) as a donor, compound (3) is converted to an .alpha.-fucosyl-(1.fwdarw.3)-glucosamine derivative (compound (5)). ##STR13##
The benzylidene group is removed from compound (5) using acetic acid-water, and the resulting compound (6) is treated with DAST within the temperature range of -45.degree. C. to 0.degree. C. for 4 hours to give compound (7) of formula (II). Secondary alcohol is acetylated with pyridine-acetic anhydride and the resulting compound (8) is treated with trifuloroacetic acid to give de-p-methoxybenzylated compound (9).
From the above compound of formula (II), a sialyl Lewis X sugar chain of formula (I) can be derived according to the reaction steps shown below in Reaction Scheme 3. ##STR14##
More specifically, compound (9) is acetylated with acetic anhydride in the presence of an organic base (e.g., pyridine) and the resulting compound (10) is reacted with a Lewis acid (e.g., boron trifluoride-ether complex, trialkylsilyltrifluoromethanesulfonate, etc.) in an inert solvent (e.g., benzene, toluene, methylene chloride or a mixture thereof) in the presence of a suitable methylthioating agent (methylthiotrimethyl-silane) at 40.degree. C. for 24 hours to derive compound (11). The thiomethyl compound is treated with compound (12) in an inert solvent (e.g., benzene, toluene, methylene chloride or a mixture thereof) in the presence of a suitable glycosylation accelerator (e.g., N-iodosuccinimide/scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate, N-iodosuccinimide/tetrabutyl ammonium triflate, dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate, etc.) at -20.degree. C. to -15.degree. C. for 1 hour to derive compound (13). This compound is converted to compound (14) by removal of phthalimide from the glucosamine portion with ethylenediamine and acetylation with pyridine-acetic anhydride. Then removal of O-acetyl from the glucosamine portion of this compound under alkaline conditions of sodium methoxide-methanol gives compound (15). Since hydroxyl groups are all protected except the hydroxyl group at 4-position of the glucosamine portion, introduction of sialyl galactose (compound (16)) gives compound (17) of formula (I). ##STR15##
The benzyl group is removed from the obtained sialyl Lewis X sugar chain by catalytic reduction and the resulting free hydroxyl group is acetylated to yield compound (18). Then removal of trimethylsilylethyl at 2-position of glucose by the action of trifluoroacetic acid gives compound (19). This compound is treated with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undeca-7-ene (DBU) and trichloroacetonitrile (CCl.sub.3 CN) to yield compound (20). Then, the compound is treated with boron trifluoride ether complex in the presence of an azide sphingosine derivative (compound (21)) to give compound (22). The azide group of compound (22) is reduced with hydrogen sulfide gas, followed by condensation with octadecanoic acid in the presence of a dehydrating condensation agent (e.g., 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, etc.) to give compound (23). Compound (23) is then deprotected (for example, by treatment with sodium methoxide-methanol and addition of water) to give the desired fluorine substituted sialyl Lewis X derivative, compound (24). The reducing agent for use to reduce the azide group is not limited to hydrogen sulfide, but includes any reducing agent which can reduce an azide group, does not reduce a double bond and does not release an acyl protective group. This reaction process is shown in Reaction Scheme 4.
Compound (18) may easily be deprotected under conditions similar to those for synthesis of compound (24). This reaction process is shown in Reaction Scheme 5. ##STR16##
Compound (4) used herein may easily be synthesized according to a method similar to that described in J. Carbohydrate Research, 10, 549-560 (1991). Likewise, compounds (12) and (16) may easily be synthesized according to methods similar to those described in Carbohydrate Research, 200, 269-285 (1990).
Further, compound (21) can be easily obtained according to a method as described in Carbohydrate Research, 202, 177-191 (1990), which comprises synthesizing azide sphingosine, protecting a primary hydroxyl group at 1-position thereof with an appropriate protective group such as triphenylmethyl, protecting hydroxyl at 3-position with benzoyl chloride or the like in a conventional manner and deprotecting 1-position with boron trifluoride-ether complex or the like.
The present inventors further synthesized other Lewis X derivatives by deriving from compound (11) the following compounds (30) to (32) and (34) to (38) of formula (I) according to the reaction steps shown in Reaction Schemes 6 and 7. ##STR17##
More specifically, compound (11) is treated with compound (26) in an inert solvent (e.g., benzene, toluene, methylene chloride or a mixture thereof) in the presence of an appropriate glycosylation promotor (e.g., N-iodosuccinimide/scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate, N-iodosuccinimide/tetrabutyl ammonium triflate, dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate, etc.) at -20.degree. C. to -15.degree. C. for 2 hours to derive compound (27) of formula (II) of the invention. Compound (27) is reacted with an excess of ethylenediamine at room temperature to boiling temperature of the solvent for 1 to 48 hours to remove phthalimide from the glucosamine portion and then reacted with an excess of pyridine-acetic anhydride at room temperature for 1 to 24 hours for acelylation. The resulting compound (28) is reacted with a catalytic amount of sodium methoxide-methanol at room temperature for 1 to 12 hours to remove O-acetyl. The resulting compound (29) is reacted with an equimolar to excessive amount of compound (16) in an inert gas atmosphere at room temperature for 1 to 6 hours to give compound (30) of formula (I). Compound (30) is subjected to catalytic reduction in the presence of 10% palladium-carbon at room temperature for 1 to 24 hours to remove benzyl and then reacted with an excess of pyridine-acetic anhydride at room temperature for 1 to 6 hours for acelylation. The resulting compound (31) is reacted with an excess of sodium methoxide-methanol at room temperature for 1 to 24 hours, followed by addition of water to remove protective groups from hydroxyl and carboxylic acid, thus giving the desired fluorine substituted sialyl Lewis X derivative, compound (32). ##STR18##
A Lewis X derivative is derived from compound (29) of formula (II) obtained according to the above-mentioned reaction steps. Compound (29) is treated with a Lewis acid (e.g., boron trifluoride-ether complex, trimethylsilyltrifluoromethanesulfonate, etc.) in the presence of compound (33) to give compound (34) of formula (I). The benzyl group is removed from the Lewis X sugar chain by catalytic reduction and the resulting free hydroxyl group is acetylated. The resulting compound (35) is reacted with hydrazine acetate to give compound (36) of formula (II) having one hydroxyl group. Compound (36) is treated with sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex in the presence of an aprotic solvent (e.g., dimethylformamide, pyridine, dimethyl sulfoxide) for 1 hour to derive compound (37). Finally, removal of the protective groups yields the desired fluorine substituted Lewis X derivative, compound (38).
Compound (26) used herein may easily be synthesized according to the method described in Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 203, 1102-1109 (1994). Also, compound (33) may easily be synthesized according to the method described in J. Carbohydr. Chem., 14, 369-385 (1995).
The present inventors further derived compound (45) of formula (I) from compound (9) according to the reaction steps shown below in Reaction Scheme 8. ##STR19##
More specifically, compound (9) is treated with acetyl chloride for 16 hours and the resultant crude compound (39) is treated with tributyltin hydride in toluene in the presence of azobisisobutylonitrile to give compound (40) of formula (II). This compound is converted to compound (41) by removal of phthalimide from the glucosamine portion with ethylenediamine and acetylation with pyridine-acetic anhydride. Then removal of O-acetyl from the glucosamine portion of compound (41) under alkaline conditions of sodium methoxide-methanol gives compound (42). Since hydroxyl groups are all protected except the hydroxyl group at 4- position of the glucosamine portion, introduction of sialyl galactose (using compound (16) as a donor) gives compound (43) of formula (I). The benzyl group is removed from the obtained 1-deoxysialyl Lewis X sugar chain by catalytic reduction and the resulting free hydroxyl group is acetylated to give compound (44). Then the protective groups are removed from hydroxyl and carboxyl of compound (44) (for example, by treatment with sodium methoxide-methanol and addition of water) to give the desired fluorine substituted 1-deoxy sialyl Lewis X sugar chain, compound (45).

Pharmacological Test Example 1: Metabolic Stability Test
Used as substrates were natural sialyl Lewis X Ganglioside (SLeX Ganglioside) and compound 24 of the invention obtained in Example 19.
The structures of compound 24 and SLeX Ganglioside are shown below.
Compound 24
SLeX Ganglioside
Compound 24 and SLeX Ganglioside (30 mmol each) were separately dissolved in 0.1 ml of distilled water, followed by addition of 0.02 ml of .alpha.-fucosidase ammonium sulfate suspension (product of Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.; at least 2 units/mg protein). Then 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 min. later, each reaction aqueous solution was spotted on a silica gel TLC plate (5715, product of Merk Co.). The TLC plate was developed until the reaction solution front moved 2 cm (developing solvent; n-butanol:acetic acid:water=8:5:4). After immersion in phosphomolybdic acid.phosphoric acid.sulfonic acid mixed aqueous solution, the plate was heated to develop colors and the amount of the remaining substrate was measured.
Shown below are rates of flow (Rf) on the TLC plate, of compound 24, SLeX Ganglioside (substrates) and those decomposed by .alpha.-fucosidase.
______________________________________Compound Rf______________________________________SLeX Ganglioside 0.75Decomposed SLeX Ganglioside 0.20Compound 24 0.75Decomposed Compound 24 0.25______________________________________
With a mass spectrometer, it was confirmed that .alpha.-fucosidase decomposed compound 24 and SLeX Ganglioside into the corresponding fucose-cleaved derivatives.
The results are shown in Table 1 and FIG. 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________Substrate decomposition reaction by .alpha.-fucosidaseRemaining Syalyl Lewis X (%)Time (min.) SLeX Ganglioside Compound 24______________________________________0 1.0 1.00.5 0.2 0.51.0 0.0* 0.22.0 -- 0.053.0 -- 0.0*______________________________________ *With the TLC color development, complete vanishment of the spot of the substrate was confirmed.
The results of Table 1 prove improved stability of the compound of the invention against .alpha.-fucosidase.
That is, a natural sialyl Lewis X Ganglioside (SLeX Ganglioside) quickly decomposes in the presence of .alpha.-fucosidase, whereas compound 24 having fluorine in place of hydroxyl at 6-position of N-acetylglucosamine more strongly resists the decomposition by .alpha.-fucosidase than a natural Ganglioside.
