Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel radicicol derivatives or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof which show tyrosine kinase inhibition activity and have antitumor or immunosuppression effects.

BACKGROUND ART

It is known that microbial metabolite radicicol represented by the following formula (B) has an antifungal effect and an anticancer effect [ Nature, 171, 344 (1953); Neoplasma, 24, 21 (1977)], an immunosuppression effect (Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 298764/94), or morphology normalization effect of ras or mos canceration cells [ Oncogene, 11, 161 (1995)].

Furthermore, it is known that radicicol derivatives in which the phenolic hydroxyl group is modified with various acyl groups have an antitumor effect (Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 226991/92). In addition, it is disclosed that radicicol derivatives in which the phenolic hydroxyl group is modified with an acyl group or an alkyl group show an angiogenesis inhibition effect (Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 279279/94) or an interleukin 1 production inhibition effect (Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 40893/96). Recently, oxime derivatives of dienone of a radicicol derivative showing antitumor action and immunosuppression action have been published (WO 96/33989: published on Oct. 31, 1996), and antitumor radicicol derivatives represented by the following formula (B′) have also been published (Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application 202781/97: published on Aug. 5, 1997).

(In the formula, R 1p and R 2p represent a hydrogen atom or an acyl group; and X p represents a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group or a lower alkoxy group.)

Additionally, it is known that ansamycins antibiotics, geldanamycin, represented by formula (C) [ The Journal of Antibiotics, 23, 442 (1970)] has tyrosine kinase inhibition activity and antitumor effects [for example, Cancer Research, 52, 1721 (1992) and Cancer Research, 54, 2724 (1994)]. It is shown that these effects are expressed by the inhibition of the activation of a tyrosine kinase, such as Src, ErbB-2, Lck or the like, and a serine/threonine kinase Raf-1, through the formation of a complex of geldanamycin with a molecular chaperone Hsp (heat shock/stress protein) 90 by binding to Hsp90 [for example, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the, U.S.A, 91, 8324 (1994) and The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 270, 24585 (1995)]. Consequently, drugs capable of acting upon Hsp90 are also included in tyrosine kinase inhibitors and useful not only as antitumor agents but also for the prevention and treatment of various diseases such as osteoporosis, immune diseases, and the like.

Tyrosine kinase is an enzyme which uses ATP as a phosphate donor and catalyzes transfer of its γ-phosphate group to the hydroxyl group of a specified tyrosine residue of a substrate protein, thereby taking an important role in the control mechanism of intracellular signal transduction. Various tyrosine kinase families are known. Tyrosine kinase activities, such as Src in colon cancer, ErbB-2 in breast cancer and gastric cancer, Ab1 in leukemia, and the like, increase. Disordered increase in the tyrosine kinase activity causes abnormal differentiation and proliferation of cells. Consequently, specific inhibitors of tyrosine kinase are useful in preventing and treating various diseases, including as antitumor agents.

Lck is a tyrosine kinase which is activated when T lymphocytes are activated by antigen stimulation, and an inhibitor of this enzyme is useful as an immunosuppressant. Also, it is known that Src relates to bone resorption in osteoclast, and an inhibitor of this tyrosine kinase is useful as a bone resorption inhibitor for the treatment of osteoporosis. Additionally, inhibitors of receptor type tyrosine kinases of various growth factors, such as EGF-R (epidermal growth factor receptor), FGF-R (fibroblast growth factor receptor), PDGF-R (platelet-derived growth factor receptor), and the like, are useful as a solid cancer growth inhibitor, an angiogenesis inhibitor, a vascular smooth muscle growth inhibitor, and the like.

Thionyl chloride or thionyl bromide is used in an amount of 1 equivalent or more, preferably 2 to 10 equivalents, based on compound (Ig). The reaction is carried out at a temperature of −10 to 40° C., preferably 0 to 40° C., and the reaction completes after 1 to 48 hours.

Production Method 7

Compound (Ij) which is a derivative of compound (I) in which at least one of R 1 and R 2 is substituted with tert-butyldimethylsilyl or tert-butyldiphenylsilyl can be prepared from compound (Ii) by the following step.

(In the above reaction formula, R 3 , R 4 , and X have the same meaning as defined above; R 1e and R 2e represent both hydrogen, or one represents hydrogen and the other represents alkanoyl or alkenoyl; and R 1f and R 2f represent groups in which at least one hydrogen of either of the above R 1e and R 2e is substituted with tert-butyldimethylsilyl or tert-butyldiphenylsilyl.)

Step 7

Compound (Ij) can be prepared by allowing compound (Ii) to react with tert-butyl(chloro)dimethylsilane or tert-butylchlorodiphenylsilane in the presence of a base.

As the solvent, chloroform, dichloromethane, ether, THF, acetone, DMF, acetonitrile, and the like are used either alone or a mixture thereof. As the base, amines (for example, pyridine, imidazole, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, or the like) are used. Tert-butyl(chloro)dimethylsilane or tert-butylchlorodiphenylsilane is used in an amount of 1 equivalent or more, preferably 1 to 10 equivalents, based on compound (Ii). The base is used in an amount of 1 equivalent or more, preferably 1 to 10 equivalent, based on tert-butyl(chloro)dimethylsilane or tert-butylchlorodiphenylsilane. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of −20 to 50° C., preferably 10 to 40° C., and the reaction completes after 10 minutes to 24 hours.

Production Method 8

Compound (Im) in which at least one hydrogen of any one of R 1 , R 2 and R 4 in compound (I) is substituted with alkanoyl or alkenoyl can be prepared by carrying out acylation of the following compound (Ik).

(In the above reaction formula, R 3 and X have the same meaning as defined above; at least one of R 1g , R 2g and R 4b represents hydrogen; and R 1h , R 2h and R 4c represent groups in which at least one hydrogen of the above R 1g , R 2g and R 4b is substituted with alkanoyl or alkenoyl.)

Step 8

Compound (Im) can be prepared by allowing compound (Ik) to react with 1 equivalent or more, preferably 1 to 100 equivalents, of an acid halide, an acid anhydride, a mixed acid anhydride containing the alkanoyl or alkenoyl of interest, or the like, in the presence of a base.

As the solvent, DMF, DMSO, chloroform, dichloromethane, toluene, and the like may be used either alone or as a mixture thereof. An optional hydroxyl group can be modified by optionally carrying out introduction and elimination of a protecting group of the hydroxyl group, and it is possible to modify a plurality of hydroxyl groups at the same time. As the base, pyridine, triethylamine, N,N-dimethylaniline, N,N-diethylaniline, or the like is used in an amount of 1 equivalent or more, preferably 1 to 200 equivalents, based on compound (Ik). It is possible to use a base (for example, pyridine, or the like) also as the solvent. Additionally, the reaction can be accelerated by adding DMAP or the like in an amount of 0.1 to 4 equivalents based on compound (Ik). The reaction is carried out at a temperature of −20 to 50° C., and the reaction completes after 5 minutes to 24 hours.

In the production of compound (I) , conversion of the functional group of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 or X can be carried out not only by the above steps but also by known methods [for example, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, R. C. Larock (1989)].

Isolation and purification of the products of the above methods can be carried out by carrying out optional combinations of techniques generally used in organic syntheses (e.g., filtration, extraction, washing, drying, concentration, crystallization, various types of chromatography, and the like). The intermediates may be used in the subsequent reactions without purification.

If a salt of compound (I) is prepared, the salt of compound (I) can be purified as such when it can be prepared; or, when the compound is prepared in its free form, its salt can be formed by dissolving or suspending it in an appropriate solvent and adding an acid or base thereto.

Also, compound (I) or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof may exist in the form of addition products with water or various solvents, and these addition products are also included in the present invention. Examples of compound (I) are shown in Table 1.

Next, pharmacological activities of typical examples of compound (I) are described by the following test examples.

Test Example 1

Inhibition Test of Intracellular Tyrosine Kinase

SR-3Y1 cells were cultured at 37° C. for 15 hours in an atmosphere of 5% carbon dioxide, using Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), to which each radicicol derivative to be tested had been added in varied concentration. The thus cultured cells were lysed at 4° C. for 20 minutes in a cooled buffer for lysis use (50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 1% sodium deoxycholate, 2 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), 20 μM leupeptin, 0.15 unit/ml aprotinin, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate (Na 3 VO 4 ) and then centrifuged at 20,000 G for 30 minutes. After measuring protein concentration in the resulting supernatant fluid, samples were adjusted to the same protein quantity per lane to carry out separation of protein by SDS-PAGE. The thus separated protein samples were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane to which were subsequently added a mouse polyclonal phosphotyrosine antibody MX-pTYR (Kyowa Medex Co., Ltd.) as a first antibody and a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated mouse IgG antibody (BIO-RAD Co.) as a second antibody, thereby reacting them with the protein samples on the membrane. Detection was carried out using ECL reagent (Amersham Co.), and the amount of tyrosine-phosphorylated protein was determined by scanning the density of bands prepared on an X-ray film. The activity of radiciol derivatives to inhibit tyrosine phosphorylation can be shown as a concentration (IC 50 ) of each derivative by which the ratio of tyrosine-phosphorylated protein is reduced to half in comparison with a control to which the drug is not added.

The results are shown in Table 2.

Test Example 2

Inhibition Test on the Growth of Rat Normal Fibroblast Cell Line 3Y1-B and its V-Src Oncogene Transformed Cell Line SR-3Y1

The cells were inoculated into a 96 well microplate (# 167008, manufactured by Nunc) in an amount of 1,000 cells per well and pre-cultured at 37° C. for 24 hours in a 5% carbon dioxide gas incubator using Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) which had been supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). Next, a DMSO solution of each test compound which had been adjusted to 10 mM was serially diluted with the culturing medium and added to the wells in 50 μl portions. Thereafter, the culturing was continued at 37° C. for 72 hours in the 5% carbon dioxide gas incubator. Five hours before completion of the culturing, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazo-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (manufactured by Sigma, hereinafter referred to as “MTT”) which had been dissolved in the culturing medium to a final concentration of 1 mg/μl was dispensed into the wells in 50 μl portions. After completion of the culturing, DMSO was dispensed into the wells in 150 ml portions, and the plate was vigorously stirred using a plate mixer to dissolve MTT-formazan crystals completely. Thereafter, absorbance at 550 nm was measured using a microplate reader MTP-32 (manufactured by Corona Denki). The cell growth inhibition activity was expressed by 50% inhibition concentration (IC 50 ).

The results are shown in Table 3.

Test Example 3

Antitumor Test on Nude Mouse-Transplanted Human Breast Cancer MX-1 Solid Tumor

From a tumor lump of a human breast cancer cell line MX-1 subcultured in nude mice (BALB/c nu/nu mice: CLEA Japan), a portion showing good growth was selected and cut into a 2 mm square fragment which was then transplanted under the abdominal side skin of each male nude mouse of 7 to 9 weeks of age using a trocar. The tumor size was measured on the 13th day after the tumor transplantation to select properly growing tumors having a tumor volume of 100 to 300 mm 3 (calculated by a calculation formula of “major axis×minor axis 2 ×½”), the mice were optionally grouped into 5 animals per group, and then each test compound which had been dissolved in a 7.5% cremohor EL (manufactured by Sigma)/5% dimethylacetamide (DMA)/87.5% physiological saline solution was administered to the mice by intravenous injection at a dosage of 0.05 ml (100 mg/kg) per day, once a day for 5 days. The antitumor activity of each test compound was expressed by a ratio (T/C) of the tumor volume (T) in the test drug-administered group to the tumor volume (C) in the control group on the 12th or 14th day after administration of the test compound.

The results are shown in Table 4.

Effect of Decreasing Intracellular Raf-1 Protein Quantity and Erk2 Phosphorylation Inhibition Activity

Activated K-ras gene-introduced rat kidney epithelial cell line KNRK 5.2 was cultured at 37° C. for 40 hours in an atmosphere of 5% carbon dioxide gas using Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) which was supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and to which was added each radicicol derivative at respective test concentration. The resulting cells were lysed for 30 minutes at 4° C. in a cooled buffer for lysis use [50 mM HEPES NaOH, pH 7.4, 250 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 1% Nonidet P-40 (NP40), 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), 5 μg/ml leupeptin, 2 mM sodium orthovanadate (Na 3 VO 4 ), 1 mM sodium fluoride (NaF), 10 mM β-glycerophosphate] and then centrifuged at 30,000 G for 10 minutes. The protein content of the thus prepared supernatant fluids was measured to prepare samples having the same protein quantity for each lane, and then separation of proteins was carried out by SDS-PAGE. The thus separated protein samples were transferred on a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane, and then anti-phosphorylation MAPK antibody (anti-phospho MAPK, manufactured by New England Biolabs), anti-Erk2 antibody (anti-Erk2, manufactured by Upstate Biotechnology) and anti-Raf-1 antibody (anti-Raf-1(C-12), manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology) were added thereto as primary antibodies and allowed to react with the proteins on the membrane. Thereafter, a horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody (anti-rabbit Ig antibody or anti-mouse Ig antibody, manufactured by Amersham) capable of reacting with respective primary antibodies was added thereto as the secondary antibody to carry out the reaction. Detection was carried out using ECL reagent (manufactured by Amersham), and the amount of phosphorylated Erk2 protein, total Erk2 protein and Raf-1 protein was determined by carrying out density scanning of the bands generated on the X-ray film. The Erk2 phosphorylation inhibition activity of radicicol derivatives is determined by calculating the ratio of phosphorylated Erk2 protein (phosphorylated Erk2 protein/total Erk2 protein) based on the results prepared from the samples of respective drug concentrations, which is expressed as the concentration of each derivative (IC 50 ) by which the ratio becomes half in comparison with the case in which the drug is not added. Also, the Raf-1 protein decreasing action is examined by calculating the ratio of Raf protein to the amount of Erk2 protein which does not cause changes in the protein quantity by the drug-treatment (Raf-1 protein/total Erk2 protein) based on the results prepared from the samples having respective drug concentrations, which is expressed as the concentration of each derivative (IC 50 ) by which the ratio becomes half in comparison with the case in which the drug is not added.

The results are shown in Table 5.

The thus prepared residue was dissolved in 1.5 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and the solution was mixed with 0.100 ml (0.720 mmol) of triethylamine and 0.050 ml (1.030 mmol) of hydrazine hydrate and stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction solution was mixed with ethyl acetate, washed with a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol=24/1) to obtain 33 mg (yield, 48%) of compound 9. The thus prepared compound 9 was found to be a mixture of oxime-based isomers (about 3:1) according to 1 H-NMR.
