Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of and priority to the prior Chinese patent application No. 201710087041.2, entitled “TRIAZOLE ANTIMICROBIAL DERIVATIVE, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION AND USE THEREOF” and filed before the Chinese National Intellectual Property Office on Feb. 17, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the field of antimicrobial drug, and in particular relates to triazole antimicrobial derivatives having antifungal activity, pharmaceutical compositions and uses thereof.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Fungal infection is a common and frequently-occurring disease in clinic, which can be divided into two types: superficial fungal infection and deep fungal infection. Among them, the superficial infection, caused by the invasion of skin, hair, nails and other body parts by sputum, has a high incidence and low harmfulness, while the deep fungal infection, caused by fungi that invade internal organs and deep tissues such as Candida, Aspergillus and Cryptococcus, has relative high harmfulness.


In recent years, with the increasing number of immunosuppressed patients, the incidence of the deep fungal infection has increased significantly, leading to a widespread concern about the fungal infection, especially the deep fungal infection. However, current antifungal drugs applied in clinic have issues such as serious side effects and being prone to drug resistance, which make the effective antifungal drugs still very scarce. The existing antifungal drugs can be classified into organic acids, polyenes, azoles, allylamines and the like according to their structures. Among them, azole antifungal drugs are a kind of fast-developing, fully synthesized antifungal compounds, which have become the main drugs for the treatment of deep and superficial fungal infections for clinic application. Since the first azole compound was reported to have antifungal effects in the middle of the last century, the first-generation triazole drug fluconazole, itraconazole, and the second-generation triazole drug voriconazole gradually appeared in the field of antifungal therapy.


Voriconazole is the derivative of fluconazole, which was first approved in the United States in 2002 and subsequently marketed, which is clinically effective against Aspergillus, Candida, and Actinomycetes, and even drug-resistance Fungi, with antibacterial spectrum similar to itraconazole or even better than it. However, the absorption degree of the oral suspension of the drug is highly susceptible to food, gastrointestinal function and the like, resulting in large differences in pharmacokinetic parameters between individuals, large fluctuation range of drug concentration in blood, low bioavailability and other issues. Further, the voriconazole compound itself has disadvantages such as poor solubility and difficulty in development into an injection form, while some immunosuppressed patients receiving chemotherapy or organ transplantation have problems such as nausea and vomiting and gastrointestinal discomfort, leading to difficulties in oral administration and the need for injectable drug delivery.


At present, in order to solve the problem that voriconazole is difficult to develop into an injection preparation due to poor solubility, substituted β-cyclodextrins has been generally used to solubilize voriconazole for injection preparation. The voriconazole injection approved by the US Food and Drug Administration uses sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin to solve the solubility problem, which although overcomes the defect that voriconazole is insoluble in water, enabling the administration for patients inconvenient for oral administration, but increases potential drug safety risks due to the addition of a large amount of sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) for solubilization. Preclinical toxicology studies have shown that sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin causes vacuolar formation of urothelial cells and activation of macrophages in the liver and lung. Moreover, clinical studies have shown that sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin is mainly cleared by the kidneys in the body, which may lead to acute renal failure in patients, while patients with target indications of voriconazole injections are mostly immunosuppressed patients receiving bone marrow transplantation or chemotherapy with high risk of fungal infection. A considerable proportion of these patients have renal impairment, especially those with moderate or severe renal insufficiency, due to the low efficiency of glomerular filtration of whom, sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin accumulates in large amounts in their body, significantly increasing safety risks. In particular, the instruction of the voriconazole injection indicates that the drug is not suitable for patients with moderate or severe renal impairment. The use of the adjuvant sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin greatly limits the clinical application of the drug. Therefore, it is of great value to improve the deficiencies in the prior art and increase the drug safety and drug applicability for patients with renal impairment.

Depending on the molecular structure, the compound of the invention may be chiral and thus may exist in various enantiomeric forms. Thus these compounds may exist in racemic or optically active form. The compound of the present disclosure or the intermediate thereof can be isolated as an enantiomeric compound by chemical or physical methods well known to those skilled in the art, or used for synthesis in the enantiomeric form. In the case of a racemic amine, its diastereomers are prepared by a mixture obtained by reacting the amine with an optically active resolving agent.

Optically active resolving agents (for example dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine immobilized on silica gel, cellulose triacetate or other carbohydrate derivatives or chiral derivatized methacrylate polymers) can be used to facilitate chromatographic enantiomer resolution. Suitable eluents for this purpose are aqueous or alcohol-containing solvent mixtures, for example, hexane/isopropanol/acetonitrile.

Those skilled in the art will also recognize that tertiary amines can form N-oxides. Methods for the synthesis of N-oxides of heterocycles and tertiary amines are well known to those skilled in the art, comprising using peroxyacids such as peroxyacetic acid, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA), hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides such as t-butyl hydroperoxide, sodium perborate and dioxirane such as dimethyl dioxirane to oxidize heterocycles and tertiary amines. These methods of preparing N-oxides were extensively described and reviewed in literatures.

A plurality of molecules of the compound of formula (I) of the present disclosure may share a multivalent anion formed by multistage ionization. All of these possible anions are encompassed within the scope of the anions of the invention.


The term “tautomer” refers to a functional group isomer that is formed by the rapid movement of an atom in a molecule at two positions. The compounds of the present disclosure may exhibit tautomerism. There may exist two or more interconvertible species of tautomeric compounds. Proton-shifting tautomers are derived from the migration of covalently bonded hydrogen atoms between two atoms. Tautomers generally exist in equilibrium, and the attempt to separate a single tautomer typically result in a mixture having physicochemical properties consistent with the mixture of compounds. The position of equilibrium depends on the inherent chemical properties of the molecule.

Example VI: Experimental Study on the Effect of Intravenous Administration of the Compound of the Present Disclosure Against Systemic Fungal Infection in Mice

1. Experimental Material


1.1 Experimental Instruments


Multiskan MK3 type enzyme labeling detector, water-blocking electrothermal constant temperature incubator, ZQ-F160 full temperature shaking incubator, MJX type intelligent mold incubator, SW-CT-IF type ultra-cleaning workbench, ultraviolet spectrophotometer.


1.2 Experimental Reagents


Dimethyl sulfoxide, Sabouraud Dextrose Agar solid medium (SDA).


1.3 Experimental Animals


ICR mice, weighing 18-22 g, male, provided by the Hubei Experimental Animal Center.


1.4 Experimental Strain


The standard strain Candida albicans was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection, and the strain number was ATCC10231.


2. Experimental Method


Before the experiment, a small amount of Candida albicans was picked from the SDA medium preserved at 4° C. by inoculation circle, and inoculated into 1 ml YPD (Yeast Extract Peptone Dextrose Medium, the same below) culture medium, under shake cultivation at 30° C., 200 rpm, activated for 16 hours to make the fungus in the late stage of the exponential growth phase. Blood cell counting plate was used to count. The concentration of the broth was adjusted to 1*103-5*103 CFU/ml with RPMI1640 (Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640, the same below) culture medium. The Candida albicans monoclone on the SDA plate was picked and inoculated into 1 ml YPD medium, cultured at 35° C., 200 rpm for 16 hours to the late exponential growth phase, 1% of which was then inoculated in fresh medium for 6 hours, centrifuged at 1000×g for 5 mins, washed three times with saline until the supernatant was colorless, while hemocytometer was used to count. The cell concentration was adjusted to 5*106/ml. The tail vein injection of 0.1 ml/10 g was carried out to cause a systemic fungal infection in mice. The mice were randomized into groups of 10 each. Since voriconazole was insoluble in vehicle (physiological saline), the mice of the voriconazole group in the test were injected a commercially available voriconazole (Pfizer, product lot number Z467001), that is, sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin used as a solubilizer, while other groups used physiological saline as a solvent. After establishing a systemic fungal infection model in mice for 2 hours, each administration group was administered with 5 mg/kg (calculated as voriconazole) drug in the tail vein, with the volume for administration of 0.1 ml/10 g. The mice in the model group were administered 0.1 ml/10 g of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, once daily, for 5 consecutive days. The death situation of the mice was inspected and the survival time was recorded. After a total of 7 days of observation, all dead mice were treated with fire using ethanol.

Wherein, the pharmacodynamic data of QR16003-QR16005, QR16009, QR16024-QR16030, QR16032-QR16033, QR16038-QR16043 and QR16046 were similar, wherein QR16004 was shown as an example; the pharmacodynamic data of QR16007, QR16018-QR16019, QR16021-QR16023, QR16040-QR16041 and QR16045 were similar, wherein QR16007 was shown as an example; the pharmacodynamic data of 16031, QR16034-QR16036, and 16037 were similar, wherein 16037 was shown as an example. It was found that in this experiment different onium salts of the same compound had similar pharmacodynamic data. For example the pharmacodynamic data of QR16006, QR16008, SF16002, QR16011 and QR16012 were similar to that of QR16002; the pharmacodynamic data of SF16001 was similar to that of QR16001; the pharmacodynamic data of SF16020 and QR16020 were similar. Therefore one experimental datum of such different onium salts of each compound was selected and listed in the following table.

It can be seen from the data in the table that after 7 days of administration, the survival rates of the groups administrated with the compounds according to the present disclosure were significantly higher than that of the solvent group. Among the data, the survival rates of the mice on the 7th day in QR16001, QR16002, QR16007, QR16013, QR16014, QR16015, QR16016, QR16017 and QR16020 groups were similar with that of the mice in the positive drug voriconazole group, indicating that the efficacy of the compounds of the present disclosure is comparable to that of voriconazole, thereby having good efficiency. It is true that the survival rates of the mice on the 7th day of QR16004 and 16037 groups were slightly lower than that of the positive drug voriconazole group; however, in the voriconazole group of this experiment, voriconazole is in the form of commercially available voriconazole injection, which is solubilized with sulfobutylether-β-Cyclodextrin, whereas the compounds of the present disclosure were all dissolved in physiological saline, thereby avoiding the safety risk caused by β-cyclodextrin used as a solubilizer.

After establishing a systemic fungal infection model in mice for 2 hours, each group was administered by gavage with 5 mg/kg (calculated as voriconazole) drug, with the volume for administration of 0.1 ml/10 g. The mice in the model group were administered 0.1 ml/10 g of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, once daily, for 5 consecutive days. The death situation of the mice was inspected and the survival time was recorded. After a total of 7 days of observation, all dead mice were treated with fire using ethanol.
