Abstract
Mycalamide compounds are derived from marine sponges of the genus Mycale or prepared by synthetic methods. These compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them as active ingredients, are useful as immunomodulatory agents.
Description

DESCRIPTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to mycalamide compounds and compositions which have useful therapeutic properties. More particularly, the invention concerns mycalamide compounds having immunomodulatory activities, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, methods for the preparation of the compounds, and compositions and methods of their use for therapeutic purposes.
2. Background of the Invention
Immunomodulation is a developing segment of immunopharmacology. Immunomodulator compounds and compositions, as the name implies, are useful for modulating or regulating immunological functions in animals. Immunomodulators may be immunostimulants for building up immunities to, or initiate healing from, certain diseases and disorders. Conversely, immunomodulatories may be immunoinhibitors or immunosuppressors for preventing undesirable immune reactions of the body to foreign materials, or to prevent or ameliorate autoimmune reactions or diseases.
Immunomodulators have been found to be useful for treating systemic autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus and diabetes, as well as immunodeficiency diseases. Further, immunomodulators may be useful for immunotherapy of cancer or to prevent rejections of foreign organs or other tissues in transplants, e.g., kidney, heart, or bone marrow.
Various immunomodulator compounds have been discovered, including FK506, muramylic acid dipeptide derivatives, levamisole, niridazole, oxysuran, flagyl, and others from the groups of interferons, interleukins, leukotrienes, corticosteroids, and cyclosporins. Many of these compounds have been found, however, to have undesirable side effects and/or high toxicity. New immunomodulator compounds are therefore needed to provide a wider range of immuomodulator function for specific areas with a minimum of undesirable side effects.
Immunomodulation is thus of prime importance to man, and considerable research has been devoted to immunomodulatory measures. Certain methods and chemical compositions have been developed which aid in immunomodulation, but additional methods and compositions are needed.
It has been found that some natural products and organisms are potential sources for chemical molecules having useful biological activity of great diversity. Marine life has been the source for the discovery of compounds having varied biological activities. Some of the United States patents which have issued for such inventions are as follows: U.S. Pat. No. 4,548,814 for didemnins, having antiviral activity, were isolated from a marine tunicate; U.S. Pat. No. 4,729,996 discloses compounds, having antitumor properties, that were isolated from marine sponges Teichaxinella morchella and Ptilocaulis walpersi; U.S. Pat. No. 4,808,590 discloses compounds, having antiviral, antitumor, and antifungal properties, isolated from the marine sponge Theonella sp.; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,737,510 discloses compounds, having antiviral and antibacterial properties, isolated from the Caribbean sponge Agelas coniferin. Clearly, marine sponges have proved to be a source of biological compounds, and a number of publications have issued disclosing organic compounds derived from marine sponges, including Scheuer, P. J., Ed. (1978-1983) Marine Natural Products, Chemical and Biological Perspectives, Academic Press, New York; Faulkner, D. J. (1984) Natural Products Reports 1:551-598; Faulkner, D. J. (1986) Natural Products Reports 3:1-33; Faulkner, D. J. (1987) Natural Products Reports 4:539-576; Uemura, D., K. Takahashi, T. Yamamoto, C. Katayama, J. Tanaka, Y. Okumura, Y. Hirata (1985) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 107:4796-4798.
It has now been found that certain compounds derived from extracts of marine sponge of the genus Mycale, family Mycalidae, and order Poecilosclerida, possess useful biological activity. U.S. Pat. No. 4,868,204 and published PCT application WO/91/17172 describe some of these compounds as well as the observed antiviral and antitumor activity.
The present invention, utilizing sponges as a source material and supplemented by synthetic production methods, has provided the art with new biologically active compounds and new pharmaceutical compositions useful as immunomodulatory agents. The present invention has added to the arsenal of immunomodulatory compounds by the discovery of novel, useful immunomodulators, including compounds isolatable from extracts of marine sponges of the family Mycale.
Other advantages and further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed descriptions given herein; it should be understood, however, that the detailed descriptions, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent from such descriptions.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention provides mycalamide compounds having advantageous biological activities. Specifically, the mycalamide compounds have been found to be highly effective immune suppressors. Advantageously, the compounds have also been shown to have low cytotoxicity. Also provided are compositions containing such compounds, as well as methods for the preparation and use of the compounds and compositions.
The disclosure further provides a variety of processes for the production of compounds of the invention. One method of producing the compounds useful according to the subject invention comprises the steps of collecting marine sponges of the genus Mycale, family Mycalidae, and order Poecilosclerida, contacting such sponges with a selected organic solvent system to obtain an extract, fractionating the extract, and isolating mycalamide compounds from the fractionated extract. These compounds can serve as the starting materials for the preparation of many of the compounds described herein.
In other methods of making compounds useful according to the invention, certain mycalamide compounds are made by hydrogenation in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst. Also, ion-exchange, hydrolysis, alkylation, acetylation, and other known synthesis type reactions may be used pursuant to known procedures to add, remove, or modify various groups in the original compounds to produce other compounds.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The subject invention pertains to the immunosuppressive use of chemical compounds isolated from marine sponges, and various derivatives and analogs of these compounds. These compounds, generally known as mycalamides, can be used to reduce, suppress, inhibit, or prevent unwanted immune responses. Advantageously, this immunosuppression can be achieved without cytotoxicity. Therefore, these compounds are useful for treatments of humans or animals requiring immunosuppression. Examples of such situations include, but are not limited to, treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Immunosuppression is also frequently needed in conjunction with organ transplants. Immunosuppressive agents can also be utilized when a human or animal has been, or may be, exposed to superantigens or other factors known to cause overstimulation of the immune system. The compounds of the subject invention are also useful as standards to assess the activity of other putative immunosuppressive agents. The subject invention further pertains to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds. Also disclosed and claimed are methods for administering the novel compositions. Various derivatives of these compounds can be produced by known procedures and as described in detail herein.
Compounds useful according to the subject invention can be isolated by various fractionation and chromatographic techniques from the extracts obtained as disclosed herein. Preferred isolation procedures include various chromatography techniques, such as countercurrent chromatography, with suitable columns including multi-layer planetary coil columns. A variety of solvents are available for use as single or mixed eluents, such as tetrahydrofuran, methanol, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, n-propanol, n-butanol, water, and equivalent solvents. Further purifications using such procedures may also be carried out on the recovered extractions. Preferred isolation techniques for further purifications include chromatographic operations such as high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with suitable columns and suitable solvents.
A more complete understanding of the invention can be obtained by reference to preferred embodiments of the invention which are illustrated by the following specific examples of compounds, compositions, and methods of the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the examples involve use of materials and reagents that are commercially available from known sources, e.g., chemical supply houses, so no details are given respecting them.
The subject invention pertains to the use of mycalamide A, mycalamide B, the derivatives of these compounds described herin, the derivatives of these compounds disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,868,204, and other obvious variations or derivatives of these compounds. As will be seen in some of the examples below, the subject invention pertains, in part, to a class of compounds having the following structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and are hydrogen or lower alkyl, particularly C1-C5 alkyl; R.sup.3-6 are the same or different and are hydrogen, lower alkyl, acyl, lower alkyl silyl, Bn, or Bz; X is --CH.sub.2, --CH.sub.3, or --O--CH.sub.2 ; and Y is lower alkyl, Bn, or Bz.
Following are examples which illustrate procedures, including the best mode, for practicing the invention. These examples should not be construed as limiting. All percentages are by weight and all solvent mixture proportions are by volume unless otherwise noted.
EXAMPLE 1
The compound known as mycalamide A has the following formula: ##STR2## Mycalamide A is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,868,204. A New Zealand marine sponge of the genus Mycale (family Mycalidae, order Poecilosclerida) was collected from the channel at Aquarium Point, Otago Harbour, New Zealand. Two hundred grams of frozen sponge were extracted by blending with 3:1 methanol:toluene and filtering off the solid. On removing the solvents, the combined extracts from three such steps yielded a brown gum (11.04 g) with antiviral properties. Reverse phase flash chromatography (Blunt et al. [1987] J. Natl. Prod. 50:290) gave bioactive fractions on eluting with 1:1, 3:1, and 9:1 mixtures of H.sub.2 O:methanol. These were combined to give a brown oil (307 mg). A subsample of this material (140 mg) was applied to a column of Fractogel PGM 2000 (120 g Fractogel, column 43 cm.times.2 cm). Eluting with 1:4 H.sub.2 O:methanol (0.5 ml/min) gave bioactive fractions at around 1.5 void volumes, which were combined (brown oil, 50 mg). Silica gel column chromatography (DAVISIL, 35-60 .mu.m, 5 g) starting with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, then increasing amount of methanol, gave 1.7 mg of mycalamide A in the most bioactive fraction, eluted with 1:9 methanol:CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2.

Biological Activity Evaluation Methodology
Preparation of splenocyte cell suspensions. Splenocyte suspensions were prepared from 8 to 15-week-old C57BL/6J and BALB/c female mice as follows: mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, spleens excised, and single-cell suspensions prepared by grinding the spleen with the plastic end of a sterile plunger of a 1-ml syringe in 10 ml of cold (4.degree. C.) tissue culture medium (TCM) (RPMI 1640 medium, supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 .mu.g/ml streptomycin, and 1.0 mM of 1-glutamine. The cell suspension was transferred to a sterile 15-ml centrifuge tube and allowed to stand for 5 minutes on ice to settle-out debris. The resulting supernatant was then transferred to another sterile centrifuge tube, and the cell concentration adjusted to 2.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml dilution with TCM.
Preparation of human peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) suspensions. Human peripheral blood suspensions were prepared from Leukotrap blood filters as follows: Leukotrap filters containing processed leukocytes from random, unrelated blood donors were obtained from the Indian River Blood Bank (Vero Beach, Fla.). Buffy-coat blood cell suspensions were recovered by reverse-flow phosphate-buffered saline purging and centrifugation for 15 minutes at 475.times. g. Buffy coats were removed, and 5 ml of the suspension was layered onto 5 ml of Histopaque gradient material. The Histopaque gradients were centrifuged at 475.times. g for 30 minutes. Lymphocytes were removed from the Histopaque-medium interface, and washed twice with 10 ml of PBS (Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline without CaCl.sub.2 and MgCl.sub.2.6H.sub.2 O). The final cell pellet was resuspended in TCM, and the cell concentration adjusted to 2.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml.
Two way mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). The immunosuppressive properties of mycalamide A were evaluated using the two-way MLR, utilizing murine splenocytes and human PBL. For the murine MLR, splenocytes from C57Bl/6J and BALB/c mice were prepared as described above, and a volume of 0.100 .mu.l of each cell suspension was added together to test and control wells of microtiter plates. Wells containing 0.20 ml of each cell suspension alone served as controls.
Dilutions of the drug to be tested were prepared in absolute EtOH and further diluted to the appropriate concentration in TCM and added directly to the wells containing splenocyte combinations. Additional solvent (EtOH) control wells were also prepared by adding the equivalent percentage of EtOH to each culture well. Plates were incubated at 37.degree. C. in a 5% CO.sub.2 humidified atmosphere for 88 hours. Following the incubation, 1.0 .mu.Ci of .sup.3 H-thymidine was added to each well, and the plates were returned to the incubator for 5 hours. The contents of each well were harvested onto glass-fiber filter strips, and the incorporation of .sup.3 H-thymidine was determined by a liquid scintillation counter. Similar conditions were utilized for MLR cultures using human peripheral blood lymphocytes prepared from unrelated donors as described above, with the exception that the initial incubation and subsequent .sup.3 H-thymidine pulse times were different (114 hours for initial incubation followed by a 6-hour incubation with .sup.3 H-thymidine). Plates were harvested in a similar manner, and .sup.3 H-thymidine incorporation determined as described above.
Determination of mycalamide A toxicity. The toxicity of mycalamide A on murine splenocytes and human PBL was determined using a colorimetric assay, based on the ability of viable cells to convert the colorless tetrazolium salt, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) to a colored formazan product and trypan blue exclusion. For the colorimetric assay, a volume of 0.075 ml of an MTT solution (550 .mu.g/ml of MTT in TCM) was added to test and control wells containing one of the populations of splenocytes or test wells and incubated for 5-6 hours following the initial incubation period. Microtiter plates were centrifuged at 100.times. g, supernatants carefully removed, and a volume of 0.20 ml of isopropyl alcohol was added to each well to dissolve the formazan crystals. The absorbance at 570 nm was determined for each well using an ELISA plate reader. Concentrations of mycalamide A that resulted in cell cultures exhibiting less than 65% of the control (no compound) response were considered as nontoxic. As an additional parameter of toxicity, wells containing cultured lymphocytes with various dilutions of mycalamide A were examined with trypan blue, and the percentage of dye-excluding (viable) cells was determined.
Mitogen studies. The effects of mycalamide A on the mitogen-induced proliferation of murine splenocytes was investigated. Splenocytes (2.times.10.sup.5 /well) from C57BL/6J or BALB/c mice were incubated with 1.0 .mu.g/ml of Con A, 10 .mu.g/ml of phytohemagglutinin (PHA), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and various concentrations of mycalamide A at 37.degree. C. in a 5% CO, humidified atmosphere for 90 hours. A volume of 0.50 ml of a 20.0 .mu.Ci/ml of .sup.3 H-thymidine was added to each well, and the plates incubated for an additional 6 hours. Plates were harvested, and .sup.3 H-thymidine incorporation determined by counting samples in a liquid scintillation counter.
mB7-mediated activation of murine CD4.sup.+ T cells. Mouse T cells were purified as follows: splenocytes were depleted of red blood cells by treatment with Tris-NH.sub.4 Cl. T cells were enriched by nylon wool fractionation. CD4.sup.+ T cells from BALB/c mice were purified by two-fold treatment with a mixture of anti-MHC Class II and anti-CD8 monoclonal antibodies and rabbit complement. Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) and CHO cells transfected with the murine B7 molecule (CHOmB7) were fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde prior to addition to the cultures. Microcultures were set up in duplicate 96-well plates. 2.times.10.sup.5 T cells were cultured with or without 2.times.10.sup.4 paraformaldehyde-fixed CHO transfectants in 0.2 ml of RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FCS, 4 mM L-glutamine, 10 mM HEPES, 5.times.10.sup.-5 M 2 ME, antibiotics, and non-essential amino acids in the presence of 0.1 pM, 1.0 pM or 10 pM of mycalamide A and the indicated concentrations of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody or indicated concentrations of phorbol 12, 13 myristate (PMA). Immunosuppressive standard compounds, FK506 and cyclosporin A (CsA) were also analyzed at various concentrations. All cultures were incubated for 48 hours and pulsed with 1 .mu.Ci .sup.3 H-thymidine/well for the last 6 hours of the incubation period to assay for T cell proliferation.
Graft vs. host reaction. In vivo studies with mycalamide A utilized the parenteral.fwdarw.F.sub.1, GVHR model (Simonsen splenomegaly assay). CB6F.sub.1 male mice, 4 weeks of age, were injected intraperitoneally with 5.times.10.sup.7 splenocytes from BALB/c male mice, 8 weeks of age, on day 0 (BALB/c.fwdarw.CB6F.sub.1). A syngeneic control group (CB6F.sub.1 .fwdarw.CB6F.sub.1) was similarly prepared and served as the negative control. For experiment 1, the grafted mice were divided into 5 treatment groups of 5 mice each. Groups were injected intraperitoneally with mycalamide A (dissolved initially in ethanol followed by dilution in sterile phosphate-buffered saline as a vehicle) or vehicle alone on days 1-7. For experiment 2, the grafted mice were divided into 7 treatment groups of 5 mice each and similarly injected intraperitoneally with mycalamide A, an immunosuppressive standard, didemnin B, or vehicle alone on days 1-7. On day 7 all groups were sacrificed, spleens excised, and the mean spleen weight and stimulation index calculated for each group. The stimulation index was calculated as follows: ##EQU1## A spleen index of 1.3 or greater is considered a positive response.
Allogeneic skin grafting. The effects of mycalamide A on the rejection of allogeneic skin grafts were determined using the BALB/c.fwdarw.CBA skin graft model. Skin grafts were prepared from BALB/c donors as follows: donors were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and hair shaved from back, sides, and torso. A depilatory agent was used to remove any remaining hair. The prepared skin area was then swabbed with a Betadine and alcohol solution. The skin was removed by making an incision at the base of the tail, and the skin was lifted and separated from the underlying muscle in two sections. The skin was then placed in a sterile petri dish containing sterile, ice cold normal saline. A sterile, #7 cord borer was used to punch out approximately 16 graft discs from each animal skin preparation. Recipient CBA mice were anesthetized with 1.5 cc ketamine:xylamine. The back of each recipient animal was shaved and a depilatory agent used to remove excess hair. The prepared area was swabbed with Betadine:alcohol, and a small plug of skin, approximately the size of the prepared grafts, was removed by excision. The skin graft plug was then placed in the center of the excised region and the resulting transplanted area sprayed with a barrier film (liquid skin). Animals were placed one to a cage and supplied with sterile food and water, ad libitum. Mice were observed each day for signs of rejection of the graft (a shrinking and thickening of the graft with eventual sloughing).
Results of Activity Assays
Immunosuppression of the two-way murine mixed lymphocyte response (MLR) by mycalamide A. Mycalamide A was evaluated for its ability to suppress the two-way murine mixed lymphocyte response, an in vitro correlation of the in vivo graft, graft vs. host response (GVHR). The results shown in Table 1 show that mycalamide A suppressed the MLR in a range of concentrations from 5.times.10.sup.2 to 5.times.10.sup.-16 .mu.g/ml. The IC.sub.50 of the mycalamide A for the MLR was 6.1.times.10.sup.-17 .mu.g/ml. The TC.sub.50 of mycalamide A, as measured by the lymphocyte viability assay (LCV) was 5.times.10.sup.-7 .mu.g/ml. These results show that mycalamide A is a potent immunosuppressive agent in the MLR and its immunosuppressive activity is not correlated with a general cytotoxicity.

Immunosuppression of mitogen induced proliferation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) by mycalamide A. Mycalamide A was assessed for its suppressive effects on mitogen induced stimulation of human PBL. The results in Table 4 show that mycalamide A suppressed PHA and Con A stimulation of human PBL with IC.sub.50 values of approximately 5.7.times.10.sup.-6 and 5.times.10.sup.-11 .mu.g/ml, respectively. These results show that mycalamide suppresses mitogen responses of human PBL.

Mycalamide A blocks activation of murine CD4.sup.+ T cells by anti-CD3 mAb/mB7 and PMA/mB7. Mycalamide A was tested for its ability to block the activation of purified, CD4.sup.+ T cells by either anti-CD3/mB7 or PMA/mB7. FIG. 1a shows that the immunosuppressive standard, cyclosporin A (CsA), blocks the activation of CD4.sup.+ cells by anti-CD3/CHO-mB7 with an IC.sub.50 of approximately 1.0 .mu.M. Stimulation by PMA/CHO-mB7, however, is CsA-resistant (FIG. 1b). FIG. 2a shows that a second immunosuppressive standard, FK506, similarly blocks the anti-CD3/mB7 activation of CD4.sup.+ cells; however, the potency is approximately 100 times greater compared to CsA. The PMA/CHO-mB7 stimulation of CD4.sup.+ cells is similarly not affected by FK506 (FIG. 2b). FIGS. 3a and 3b show that mycalamide A blocked both the anti-CD3/mB7 (FIG. 3a) and PMA/mB7 (FIG. 3b) induced activation of CD4.sup.+ T cells with IC.sub.50 values of approximately 1.0 pM each. This demonstrates that mycalamide A is 10 times more potent than FK506 and approximately 1000 times more potent than cyclosporin A in regards to its immunosuppressive activity. Incubation of T cells with mycalamide A did not significantly affect the cell viability as assessed by trypan blue exclusion (Table 5). These results indicate the mycalamide A is a potent immunosuppressive agent with suppressive activity which is superior to FK506 or CsA.

Immunosuppression of the graft vs. host reaction (GVHR) by mycalamide A. Mycalamide A was evaluated for its in vivo immunosuppressive effects on the GVHR using the Simonsen splenomegaly assay. The results of two studies, presented in Table 6, demonstrate that mycalamide A suppressed the splenomegaly response of CB6F.sub.1 mice grafted with allogeneic splenocytes when mice were treated with 0.01 mg/kg, intraperitoneally for 7 days (102% and 88% suppression, respectively). Dosages higher than 0.01 mg/kg were toxic. Dosages lower than 0.01 mg/kg were not immunosuppressive. These results demonstrate that mycalamide A is a potent immunosuppressive agent in vivo.

Immunosuppression of allogenic skin graft rejection by mycalamide A. Mycalamide A was evaluated for its in vivo immunosuppressive effects on the rejection of allogeneic skin grafts using the BALB/c.fwdarw.CBA murine model. The results in Table 7 show that mycalamide A treatment of mice (0.01 mg/kg, twice daily, intraperitoneally for 14 days) suppressed the normal rejection of allogeneic skin grafts as indicated by a prolonged survival of the grafts, with a mean rejection time of 17.8 days. As a comparison, mice treated with an immunosuppressive standard, CsA, had a mean rejection time of 16.4 days. Untreated, grafted mice, however, all rejected their skin grafts by day 5. These results indicate that mycalamide A effectively suppresses the rejection of allogeneic skin grafts.
