PHOSPHONATES SYNTHONS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF PHOSPHONATES DERIVATIVES SHOWING BETTER BIOAVAILABILITY

Abstract
Synthons for the synthesis of phosphonates prodrugs POM and POC, especially for direct Cross Metathesis.
Description

Provided herein are synthons useful for the synthesis of phosphonates compounds or derivatives showing better bioavailability, processes for their preparation and their use in the synthesis of phosphonates compounds or derivatives showing better bioavailability.


Several biologically active molecules are bearing a phosphonate moiety. As for instance, certain aryl-substituted ketophosphonates have been reported to have bone anabolic activity (see, e.g., WO 2004/026245) or to function as thyroid receptor ligands (see, e.g., US 2006/0046980), meanwhile bisphosphonic acids (also known as diphosphonic acids) and their salts are a class of compounds that are cytotoxic to osteoclasts and act to prevent bone resorption; when conjugated with alkylating moieties, bis-phosphonates have been reported to have antitumor activity (see, e.g., WO 9843987). The pyrazolopyrimidine and pyrimidinyl bisphosphonic esters are anti-inflammatory agents (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,397,774), meanwhile macrocyclic phosphonates and amidophosphates have been reported to inhibit HCV (see, e.g., WO 2008096002); several phosphonate analogs of HIV protease inhibitors have an improved cellular accumulation properties (see, e.g., WO 2003090690); some heteroaromatic phosphonates were tested for a variety of biological activities including inhibition of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and activity toward AMP binding enzymes, such as adenosine kinase, and are useful in the treatment of diabetes and other diseases where inhibition of gluconeogenesis, control of blood glucose levels, reduction in glycogen storage, or reduction in insulin levels is beneficial (see, e.g., US 1998-135504P); dihydropyridine-5-phosphonate derivatives are effective Ca antagonists (see, e.g., JP 60069089); some pyrimidyl phosphonates act as brain performance disturbance and depression treatment agents (see, e.g., DE 1993-4343599); some phosphonates with alkenes derivatives are known as antibacterial (DE 18 05 677 A1) and antibiotics (DE 20 02 807); Other compounds, such as nucleoside derivatives or analogs, are active agents that are administered in non-phosphorylated form, but are phosphorylated in vivo in the form of metabolic monophosphate or triphosphate to become active. Thus, nucleoside derivatives having antitumor activity, such as 5-fluorouridine, 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine or antiviral activity (in the treatment of AIDS, hepatitis B or C), such as 2′,3′-dideoxynucleosides, acyclonucleoside phosphonates, exert their activity in phosphorylated form as phosphate or phosphonates analogs.


Compounds bearing a phosphonate group have a negatively charged ionic nature at physiological pH. The therapeutic activity of such compounds is consequently limited, on account of the low diffusion of negatively charged compounds across biological lipid membranes. In particular, charged compounds do not diffuse efficiently across cell membranes, or indeed across the cerebral barrier, which are lipidic in nature. Thus, one solution to drug delivery and/or bioavailability issues in pharmaceutical development is converting known phosphonate drugs to phosphonate prodrugs. Typically, in a phosphonate prodrug, the polar functional group is masked by a pro-moiety, which is labile under physiological conditions. Accordingly, prodrugs are usually transported through hydrophobic biological barriers such as membranes and typically possess superior physicochemical properties in comparison to the parent drug. For instance, in the nucleoside domain, numerous studies showed the importance of having monophosphates or phosphonates of said nucleosides in order to present a better bioavailability (pro-nucleosides). Several compounds without any biological activity became also active when converted to monophosphate or phosphonate derivatives (Somogyi Gabor et al. <<Targeted drug delivery to the brain via phosphonates derivatives>>, IJP 166, 2008, p. 15-26 and Gong-Xin et al: <<Chapter 3.6. Prodrugs of Phosphonates, Phosphinates and Phosphates>>, Prodrugs Challenges and Reward Part1. Springer New York, US, vol. 5.1, 2007, p. 923-964).


Generally, most of the methods, which are use for introducing a biolabile moiety onto a phosphonate group, comprise several steps (e.g., deprotection of a dimethyl, diethyl or diisopropyl phosphonate under harsh conditions, its activation and its substitution by a biolabile group), poor yields, purification on reverse phase column and structural restrictions to the use of the synthons.


Thus, the present invention satisfies these and other needs by providing synthons useful for the synthesis of phosphonates derivatives showing better bioavailability, processes for their preparation and their use in the synthesis of phosphonates derivatives showing better bioavailability. The inventors discovered new processes for synthesizing phosphonate synthons bearing a biolabile moiety which can be used to (a) either transform a said compound into its phosphonate analogue, (2) to synthesize a phosphonate compound. They prepared several phosphonates derivatives which bear independently of each other either (a) an ester function or analogous, said function being optionally bio-labile, and/or lipidic chain, (b) an unsaturated (alkene, alyne, allene) function or analogous (c) a nucleofuge or (d) a hydrogen atom or (e) a methyl group directly linked to a phosphate group. Use of such derivatives in (a) olefin cross metathesis route, (b) nucleophilic substitution reaction (c) dipolar [1,3]-cycloaddition, (d) amination, (e) ring-opening, (f) addition of carbonyl and analogues, (g) organometallic cross-coupling, especially catalyzed by Pd(0), for instance, permit to convert a compound into its phosphonate diester, unsymmetrical diester, or monoester said phosphonate presenting a better bioavailability. The synthons according to the invention show several advantages: convergent synthesis on high scale, easy purification, and easy transformation of product with a better bioavailability.

EXAMPLE 1
General Procedures

1.1. Introduction of Lipophilic Chain on Dialkyl Alkylphosphonate


To a dichloromethane (DCM) (5 mL/mmol) solution of dialkyl allylphosphonate (1 eq.) was added oxalyl chloride (3 eq.), and gently reflux for 24 h under positive pressure of dry argon. This solution was evaporated under reduced pressure and diluted in DCM (5 mL/mmol). Lipophilic alcohol (1.05 eq.) and dry triethylamine (1.5 eq.) were then added and the solution was refluxed for 48 h under positive pressure of dry argon. Volatiles were evaporated and the residue purified by chromatography on silica gel to give the corresponding alkyl/lipophilic chain alkylphosphonate.


1.2. Conversion of Dimethyl Alkylphosphonate into Bis-(POM) or Bis-(POC) Form.


To an acetonitrile ACN (1 mL/mmol) solution of dimethyl alkylphosphonate (1 eq.) and anhydrous sodium iodide (2 eq.), was added chloromethyl pivalate POMC1 (2.5 eq.) or chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate (2.5 eq.). This solution was stirred at reflux for 48 h under positive pressure of dry argon. After cooling, diethyl ether was added (10 mL/mmol) and the solution was washed with water (2 mL/mmol). The organic layer was dried on magnesium sulfate, evaporated and purified by chromatography on silica gel to give the corresponding Bis-(POM) or Bis-(POC) alkylphosphonate.


1.3. Conversion of Methyl/Prodrug Group Alkylphosphonate into Mixt POM or POC/Prodrug Group Alkylphosphonate


To an ACN (1 mL/mmol) solution of methyl/prodrug group alkylphosphonate (1 eq.) and anhydrous sodium iodide (1 eq.), was added chloromethyl pivalate POMC1 (1.5 eq.) or chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate (1.5 eq.). This solution was stirred at reflux for 48 h under positive pressure of dry argon. After cooling, diethyl ether was added (10 mL/mmol) and the solution was washed by water (2 mL/mmol). The organic layer was dried on magnesium sulfate, evaporated and purified by chromatography on silica gel to give corresponding Bis-(POM) or Bis-(POC) alkylphosphonate.


1.4. Conversion of Dialkyl H-Phosphonate into Alkyl/Lipophilic Chain H-Phosphonate.


To a tetrahydrofuran (THF) (1 mL/mmol) solution of 1,3-bis(cycicohexyl) imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (IcyHBF4) salt (0.05 eq.) and molecular sieves (0.5 g/mmol), under argon, is added tBuOK (0.9 eq.) and stirred for 10 min. Lipophilic alcohol (1 eq.) and dialkyl H-phosphonate (2 eq.) are added and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The reaction is quenched with a saturated solution of ammonium chloride (5 mL/mmol) and filtrate on celite. Ethylacetate (AcOEt) (10 mL/mmol) is added to the solution then the organic and aqueous layers are separated. Aqueous phase is then extracted with AcOEt (10 mL/mmol) and the combinated organic layers are evaporated under vacuum. The corresponding alkyl/lipophilic chain H-phosphonate is finally purified by chromatography on silica gel.

EXAMPLE 49
Bioavailability of the Compounds According to the Invention

Log D (pH=7.4) was calculated using MarvinSketch 5.3 (Method Weighter) from ChemAxon.


Results are given in FIG. 1 which presents the Log D i.e. the logarithm of the water/octanol partition ratio at pH=7.4.


The greater is the Log D, the more the compound will be lipophilic and so the better will be its bioavailability.


The compounds according to the invention (examples 16 to 48) with the claimed formula R=R′=POM; R=R′=POC; R=POC and R′=HDP, and R=H and R′=HDP) all have a much greater Log D than the corresponding phosphoric acid (R=R′=H).
