Synthetic techniques and intermediates for polyhydroxy, dienyl lactones and mimics thereof

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to lactone-containing compounds such as discodermolide, to compounds which mimic the chemical and/or biological activity thereof, and to methods and intermediates useful in their preparation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In 1990, Gunasekera and co-workers at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute reported the isolation of (+)-discodermolide (1), an architecturally novel metabolite of the marine sponge Discodermia dissoluta (0.002% w/w). (See, Gunasekera, et al., J. Org. Chem. 1990, 55, 4912. Correction: J. Org. Chem. 1991, 56, 1346). ##STR1##
Initial studies revealed that (+)-discodermolide suppresses both the two-way mixed-lymphocyte reaction and the concanavalin A-induced mitogenesis of murine splenocytes in vitro with no associated cytotoxicity. Moreover, (+)-1 suppresses the in vivo graft-vs.-host splenomegaly response induced by injection of parental splenocytes into F1 recipient mice, with potency intermediate between those of cyclosporin A and FK506. (Longley, et al., Transplantation 1991, 52, 650; Longley, et al., Transplantation 1991, 52, 656; Longley, et al. Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 1993, 696, 94). These findings stimulated the recent discovery that (+)-1 arrests cell development at the M phase by binding and stabilizing mitotic spindle microtubules; thus discodermolide resembles taxol in its mode of action, but the microtubule binding affinity of 1 is much higher. (ter Haar, et al., Biochemistry 1996, 35, 243; Hung, et al., Chemi. & Biol. 1996, 3, 287). These and other results suggest that (+)-discodermolide holds considerable promise as an anticancer agent. The scarcity of natural material however has precluded a complete evaluation of its biological profile.
The absolute configuration of discodermolide remained undefined until Schreiber et al. synthesized both antipodes of 1. (Nerenberg, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 12621; Hung, et al., Chem. & Biol. 1994, 1, 67). Interestingly, the unnatural (-) antipode also displays significant immunosuppressant activity.
There is, therefore, a need for improved synthetic methods for the preparation of polyhydroxy, dienyl lactones such as the discodermolides, as well as a need for compounds having similar chemical and/or biological activity.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is one object of the present invention to provide polyhydroxy, dienyl lactones and mimics thereof.
It is a further object to provide processes for the preparation of such compounds and their mimics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
It has been found in accordance with the present invention that the synthesis of polyhydroxy, dienyl lactones such as the discodermolides can be achieved by highly convergent and stereocontrolled synthetic procedures.
As shown in FIG. 1 for the (-)-discodermolide antipode, our analysis revealed a repeating triad of contiguous stereocenters, separated by Z-olefinic linkages at C(8,9) and C(13,14). Disconnections at C(8,9), C(14,15) and C(21,22) generated fragments A, B and C, each deriving in turn from a common precursor (5) containing the recurring stereochemical triad.
As shown in FIG. 2, precursor 5 was prepared by a synthetic procedure whereby hydroxy ester (-)-6 was protected as the p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) ether by treatment with the Bundle trichloroimidate reagent 7 under acidic conditions. Reduction with LiAlH.sub.4 provided the alcohol (-)-8 after distillation.
Swern oxidation, Evans aldol condensation, and Weinreb amide formation completed the construction of common precursor (+)-5.
This concise five-step synthesis could be routinely carried out on a 50-g scale in 59% overall yield.
In view of the polypropionate structure of the A fragment, we performed a second asymmetric aldol reaction, as shown in FIG. 3. Initial formation of the p-methoxybenzylidene acetal (-)-11 from common precursor (+)-5 (78% yield) was designed to allow selective deprotection of C(21) and C(19) hydroxyls for introduction of the terminal diene and carbamate moieties. Following reduction of amide (-)-11 to the aldehyde (80% yield), (aldol reaction with oxazolidinone (+)-9 (80% yield) provided alcohol (+)-13 which incorporated the five stereocenters of subunit A. The structure of (+)-13 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Protection of the secondary alcohol as the TBS ether and removal of the chiral auxiliary (LiBH.sub.4,EtOH,THF) afforded primary alcohol (-)-15 (81% yield, two steps), which could be efficiently converted either to tosylate (-)-16 or iodide (-)-A.
As outlined in FIG. 1, our strategy required a Z vinylic halide B for coupling with fragment A. Beginning again with the common precursor (+)-5, TBS protection (FIG. 4) followed by reduction of the Weinreb amide �DIBAL (2 equiv), THF, -78.degree. C.! (Kim, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1989, 30, 6697).sup.16 afforded aldehyde (+)-18 in 88% yield for the two steps. We adopted a stepwise approach to introduction of the vinyl halide, whereby (+)-18 was converted to the Z .alpha.-bromo unsaturated ester (-)-19 (Ph.sub.3 PCBrCO.sub.2 Et, PhH, reflux; 75% yield after chromatography). Reduction to allylic alcohol (-)-20 followed by mesylation and displacement with LiBHEt.sub.3 then furnished Z vinyl bromide (-)-22 in 77% overall yield from 19.
Our preferred synthetic strategy involves selective removal of a primary PMB ether in the presence of a PMP acetal in the AB coupling product ((-)-39, FIG. 5). A 1:1 mixture of PMB ether (-)-22 and PMP acetal (-)-15 was exposed to DDQ (1.1 equiv) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 /H.sub.2 O (FIG. 6). The acetal (-)-15 largely remained intact while the debenzylated alcohol (-)-25 was formed in 83% yield.
As shown in FIG. 7, we again utilized the TBS ether (+)-17 for the preparation of C from common precursor (+)-5. Oxidative cleavage of the PMB group (DDQ, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, H.sub.2 O) provided alcohol 26 in variable (60-86%) yields, accompanied by the corresponding lactone. Debenzylation with Pearlman's catalyst afforded (+)-26 in 92% yield. Exposure of the alcohol to SO.sub.3.pyr furnished aldehyde (+)-27 (98% yield), which in turn was converted to dithiane (+)-28 (79%). In the latter step, our modification of the Evans protocol for dithiane generation �(TMSSCH.sub.2).sub.2 CH.sub.2, ZnCl.sub.2, Et.sub.2 O! minimized elimination of the TBS ether to form the .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated amide. Following reduction to aldehyde (+)-29 with DIBAL (91% yield), dimethyl acetal formation gave (+)-30 (99%). The coupling of dithiane 30 with R-(-)-glycidyl benzyl ether �(-)-31! then afforded alcohol (-)-32 in 79% yield. Unmasking of the ketone moiety �(CF.sub.3 CO.sub.2).sub.2 IPh, 80%! and Evans stereocontrolled reduction (97%) provided the anti diol (-)-34, which embodied all of the stereocenters in fragment C.
Acid-catalyzed cyclization of (-)-34 (TsOH, room temperature) provided methoxy pyran 35 in 87% yield as a 1:2 mixture of and .beta. anomers (FIG. 8). Debenzylation (H.sub.2, Pd/C) of 36 afforded alcohol 37 quantitatively. Exposure to EtSH and MgBr.sub.2 in Et.sub.2 O then gave a separable 6:1 mixture of .beta. ethyl hemithioacetal (+)-38 and its .alpha. anomer in 83% yield. Swern oxidation of (+)-38 furnished the final fragment (+)-C in 86% yield.
Synthesis of the desired B segment (-)-B preferably was achieved by direct olefination of aldehyde (+)-18 (41%, 6:1 Z/E) (FIG. 9), followed by chromatographic removal of the undesired E cross coupling product. Reaction of (-)-B with the organozinc derivative of (-)-A (FIG. 10) was achieved by premixing iodide A with dried solid ZnCl.sub.2 (ether, -78.degree. C.) before addition of t-BuLi. It is believed that three equivalents of t-BuLi are required for complete consumption of (-)-A, probably because the first equivalent reacts with ZnCl.sub.2. This modification increased the yield to 66% after flash chromatography.
Conversion of the Z trisubstituted olefin (-)-39 to the phosphonium iodide (-)-49 began with selective removal of the PMB group, as in our model study (DDQ, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, H.sub.2 O), furnishing (-)-40 in 87% yield (FIG. 11). As shown in FIG. 12, alcohol (-)-40 furnished the requisite iodide 42 almost exclusively, as indicated by NMR examination of the crude material. The very sensitive iodide was used without purification. Thorough mixing of iodide 42 with i-Pr.sub.2 NEt (3 equiv) followed by exposure to excess PPh.sub.3 (15 equiv) without solvent at 80.degree. C. generated (-)-49 in 37% yield for the two steps. The major by-product was characterized as (-)-50 (35% yield). The unsaturated model alcohol (+)-44 similarly afforded the Wittig salt (+)-46 in low yield (FIG. 13), whereas the saturated derivative (+)-51 gave phosphonium iodide (+)-53 almost quantitatively.
As shown in FIG. 14, assembly of the discodermolide backbone entailed Wittig coupling of aldehyde C with the ylide derived from AB phosphonium salt (-)-49 to install the C(8,9) Z alkene in (-)-54 (>49:1 Z/E, 76% yield). DIBAL reduction (88% yield) followed by oxidation of the resultant primary alcohol (-)-55 then produced aldehyde (-)-56 (96%). The terminal Z diene (-)-57 was elaborated via the Yamamoto protocol in 70% yield with excellent selectivity (16:1 Z/E). After flash chromatography, hydrolysis of the hemithio acetal and mild DMSO/Ac.sub.2 O oxidation provided lactone (-)-58 in 82% yield for the two steps. Removal of the PMB group (DDQ, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, H.sub.2 O, 95% yield) and carbamate formation (Cl.sub.3 CONCO, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, neutral Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 83%) afforded tris(TBS ether) (-)-60. Final deprotection with 48% HF/CH.sub.3 CN (1:9) furnished (-)-discodermolide, identical with an authentic sample (FIG. 15).

The salts can be formed by conventional means, such as by reacting the free base form of the product with one or more equivalents of the appropriate acid in a solvent or medium in which the salt is insoluble, or in a solvent such as water which is later removed in vacuo or by freeze drying. The salts also can be formed by exchanging the anions of an existing salt for another anion on a suitable ion exchange resin.
The compounds of the invention can be admixed with carriers, excipients, and/or diluents to form novel compositions. Such compositions can be used in prophylactic, diagnostic, and/or therapeutic techniques. By administering an effective amount of such a composition, prophylactic or therapeutic responses can be produced in a human or some other type mammal. It will be appreciated that the production of prophylactic or therapeutic responses includes the initiation or enhancement of desirable responses, as well as the mitigation, cessation, or suppression of undesirable responses. The compositions of the invention are expected to find use, for example, in the inhibition of undesired cell proliferation (e.g., cancer) and in the inhibition of rejection in organ transplantation procedures. (See, e.g., Longley, et al., Transplantation 1991, 52, 650 and 656).
Compositions of the invention can be prepared by any of the methods well known in the pharmaceutical art, for example, as described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Pub. Co., Easton, Pa., 1980). The compositions can include a compound of the invention as an active ingredient in admixture with an organic or inorganic carrier or excipient suitable, for example, for oral administration. Other suitable modes of administration will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The compound of the invention can be compounded, for example, with the usual non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for tablets, pellets, capsules, solutions, suppositories, suspensions, and any other form suitable for use. The carriers which can be used are water, glucose, lactose, gum acacia, gelatin, mannitol, starch paste, magnesium trisilicate, talc, corn starch, keratin, colloidal silica, potato starch, urea and other carriers suitable for use in manufacturing preparations, in solid, semisolid, or liquid form, and in addition auxiliary, stabilizing, thickening and coloring agents and perfumes may be used. The compound of the invention is included in the pharmaceutical composition in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of diseases.
For oral administration, tablets containing various excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate and glycine may be employed along with various disintegrants such as starch and preferably corn, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates, together with granulation binders like polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often very useful for tableting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in appropriately soluble (e.g. gelatin) capsules; preferred materials in this connection also include lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.
When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the active ingredient may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes, and, if so desired, emulsifying and/or suspending agents as well, together with such diluents as water, ethanol, glycerin and various like combinations thereof.
For parenteral administration, suspensions containing a compound of the invention in, for example, aqueous propylene glycol can be employed. The suspensions should be suitably buffered (preferably pH>8) if necessary and the liquid diluent first rendered isotonic. The aqueous suspensions are suitable for intravenous injection purposes. The preparation of such suspensions under sterile conditions is readily accomplished by standard pharmaceutical techniques well-known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, it is possible to administer the compounds of the invention topically and this may preferably be done by way of creams, jellies, gels, pastes, ointments and the like, in accordance with standard pharmaceutical practice.
The compounds of the invention can be employed as the sole active agent in a pharmaceutical composition or can be used in combination with other active ingredients, e.g., other agents useful in diseases or disorders.
The amount of active ingredient that is to be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. The specific dose level for any particular patient will depend on a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy. In some instances, dosage levels below the lower limit of the aforesaid range may be more than adequate, while in other cases still larger doses may be employed without causing any harmful side effects provided that such higher dose levels are first divided into several small doses for administration throughout the day. The concentrations of the active ingredient in therapeutic compositions will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the dosage of the drug to be administered, the chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity) of the active ingredient, and the route of administration. Typical dose ranges are from about 285 .mu.g/kg of body weight per day in three divided doses; a preferred dose range is from about 42 .mu.g/kg to about 171 .mu.g/kg of body weight per day. The preferred dosage to be administered is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, and formulation of the compound excipient, and its route of administration, as well as other factors, including bioavailability, which is in turn influenced by several factors well known to those skilled in the art.
Additional objects, advantages, and novel features of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following examples thereof, which are not intended to be limiting.

p-Methoxybenzyl alcohol (200 g, 1.45 mol) was added to a suspension of NaH (60% in mineral oil; 5.82 g, 0.146 mol) in anhydrous ether (450 mL) over 1 h at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 1 h and cooled to 0.degree. C. Trichloroacetonitrile (158 mL, 1.58 mol) was then introduced over 80 min. After 1.5 h the solution was concentrated with the water bath temperature maintained below 40.degree. C. The residue was treated with a mixture of pentane (1.5 L) and MeOH (5.6 mL), stirred at room temperature for 30 min, and filtered through a short Celite column. Concentration gave the trichloroimidate (394.3 g) as a red oil which was used without further purification.
A solution of (R)-(-)-Roche ester (124.7 g, 1.06 mol) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 /cyclohexane (1:2, 1.5 L) was cooled to 0.degree.

Filtration through a short silica column (20% ethyl acetate/hexane) afforded the ester (303.5 g) as a slight yellow oil.
The ester (303.5 g) was divided into three portions for the next reaction. In each preparation, solution of crude ester (112.8 g) in anhydrous THF (1.0 L) was cooled to 0.degree. C. and LiAlH.sub.4 (1.0M in THF, 560 mL, 0.560 mol) was added over 1 h.
The mixture was warmed gradually to room temperature and stirred for 24 h. After dilution with ether (1.0 L) the mixture was cooled to 0.degree.
