Triterpene derivatives with immunosuppressant activity

Description

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/028,963, filed Oct. 16, 1996.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Immunoregulatory abnormalities have been shown to exist in a wide variety of "autoimmune" and chronic inflammatory diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, type I and II diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, biliary cirrhosis, uveitis, multiple sclerosis and other disorders such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, bullous pemphigoid, sarcoidosis, psoriasis, ichthyosis, Graves ophthalmopathy and asthma.
Although the underlying pathogenesis of each of these conditions may be quite different, they have in common the appearance of a variety of autoantibodies and self-reactive lymphocytes. Such self-reactivity may be due, in part, to a loss of the homeostatic controls under which the normal immune system operates.
Similarly, following a bone-marrow or an organ transplantation, the host lymphocytes recognize the foreign tissue antigens and begin to produce antibodies which lead to graft rejection.
One end result of an autoimmune or a rejection process is tissue destruction caused by inflammatory cells and the mediators they release. Anti-inflammatory agents such as NSAID's act principally by blocking the effect or secretion of these mediators but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease. On the other hand, cytotoxic agents, such as cyclophosphamide, act in such a nonspecific fashion that both the normal and autoimmune responses are shut off. Indeed, patients treated with such nonspecific immunosuppressive agents are as likely to succumb from infection as they are from their autoimmune disease.
Cyclosporin A (CsA), which was approved by the US FDA in 1983 is currently the leading drug used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. In 1993, FK-506 (Prograf) was approved by the US FDA for the prevention of rejection in liver transplantation. CsA and FK-506 act by inhibiting the body's immune system from mobilizing its vast arsenal of natural protecting agents to reject the transplant's foreign protein. In 1994, CsA was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of severe psoriasis and has been approved by European regulatory agencies for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Though they are effective in fighting transplant rejection, CsA and FK-506 are known to cause several undesirable side effects including nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
Newer, safer drugs exhibiting less side effects are constantly being searched for in the field.
Four active components of Spachea correa were recently identified which inhibit thymidine uptake of T cells and are useful as immunosuppressive agents in animals, including man. ##STR2##

The compounds of the present invention have asymmetric centers and this invention includes all of the optical isomers and mixtures thereof.
In addition compounds with carbon-carbon double bonds may occur in Z- and E- forms with all isomeric forms of the compounds being included in the present invention.
As used herein, the term "alkyl" includes those alkyl groups of a designated number of carbon atoms of either a straight, branched, or cyclic configuration. Examples of "alkyl" include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-and tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, norbomyl, and the like. "Alkoxy" represents an alkyl group of indicated number of carbon atoms attached through an oxygen bridge, such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy and pentoxy.
"Alkanoyl" is intended to include those alkylcarbonyl groups of specified number of carbon atoms, which are exemplified by formyl, acetyl, propanoyl and butyryl; "alkanoyloxy" is intended to include those alkylcarbonyl groups of specified number of carbon atoms attached through an oxygen bridge, which are exemplified by formyloxy, acetoxy, propionoyloxy, and butyryloxy. "Alkenyl" is intended to include hydrocarbon chains of a specified number of carbon atoms of either a straight- or branched-configuration and at least one unsaturation, which may occur at any point along the chain, such as ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, dimethyl pentenyl, and the like, and includes E and Z forms, where applicable. "Halogen", as used herein, means fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo.
The term "aryl" is defined as a phenyl or naphthyl ring which is optionally substituted with the substituents listed above at any available carbon atoms. The aryl may also be substituted with a fused 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring containing one or two oxygens and the remaining ring atoms being carbon, the fused 5-, 6-, or 7-ring being selected from the group consisting of: dioxolanyl, dihydrofuranyl, dihydropyranyl, and dioxanyl.
The term "heteroaryl" as utilized herein is intended to include the following a 5 or 6-membered ring substituted with one or two heteroatoms selected from O, S, N, and is unsubstituted or substituted with one, two or three substituents selected from the group consisting of: Br, Cl, F, I, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkoxy, cyano, oxo, nitro, hydroxy, CHO, CO.sub.2 H, COC.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, CO.sub.2 C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, CONR.sup.1 R.sup.2, NR.sup.1 R.sup.2, NR.sup.1 COC.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, any two adjacent substituents can be joined to form a 5-, 6- or 7-membered fused ring said ring containing 1 or 2 oxygen atoms and the remainder carbon atoms, or any two adjacent substituents can be joined together to form a benzo-fused ring. Heteroaryl groups within the scope of this definition include but are not limited to: acridinyl, carbazolyl, cinnolinyl, quinoxalinyl, pyrrazolyl, indolyl, benzotriazolyl, furanyl, thienyl, benzothienyl, benzofuranyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, and pyrrolyl which are substituted or unsubstituted as defined above.
In the compounds of Formula I, the heteroaryl group may be optionally substituted with the substituents listed above at any available carbon atom or nitrogen atom (if present), but compounds bearing certain substitutents, directly substituted to a nitrogen may be relatively unstable and are not preferred. The heteroaryl may also be fused to a second 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring containing one or two oxygens selected from the remaining ring atoms being carbon, selected from the group consisting of: dioxolanyl, dihydrofuranyl, dihydropyranyl, and dioxanyl.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include both the metallic (inorganic)salts and organic salts; a list of which is given in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th Edition, pg. 1418 (1985). It is well known to one skilled in the art that an appropriate salt form is chosen based on physical and chemical stability, flowability, hydro-scopicity and solubility. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate, diphosphate, hydrobromide, and nitrate or salts of an organic acid such as malate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, succinate, citrate, acetate, lactate, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate or palmoate, salicylate and stearate. Similarly pharmaceutically acceptable cations include, but are not limited to sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, lithium and ammonium (especially ammonium salts with secondary amines). Preferred salts of this invention for the reasons cited above include potassium, sodium, calcium and ammonium salts. Also included within the scope of this invention are crystal forms, hydrates and solvates of the compounds of Formula I.

This conversion can be achieved by hydrogenation with tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)chloride (Wilkinson's catalyst) in THF at about 50 psi for approximately 24 hours. ##STR7##
As seen in Scheme B, the lactone group can be converted to a tetrahydrofuran (THF) analog in two steps. The lactone is first ozonized under standard conditions. Reductive workup with an agent such as sodium borohydride gives the lactol intermediate. The purified lactol intermediate is then reacted with triethylsilane and a Lewis acid such as borontrifluoride diethyl etherate to give the tetrahydrofuran (THF) analog. ##STR8##
The lactol hydroxy group can be replaced as demonstrated in Scheme C with a variety of substituents (reprsented as R.sup.5a). Reaction with allyltrimethyl silane and a Lewis acid such as boron trifluoride etherate (BF.sub.3 .cndot.OEt.sub.2) and dichloromethane gives the allyl analog (R.sup.5a =allyl R.sup.5b =H) which can be modified in a variety of ways that are known to the practioner. Alternatively, the lactol can be reacted with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) in a basic solvent such as collidine to give the fluoro analog (R.sup.5 =F) which can be reacted with trisubstituted aluminum reagents such as triethyl aluminum to give the ethyl derivative, for example.
The lactol hydroxy group is oxidized to its lactone derivative by use of a variety of reagents. One that is particularly effective is pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC). ##STR9##
Compound Ia can be reacted with ozone under conditions described in Reaction Scheme B. These conditions also cleave the C20 olefin to give the keto lactol intermediate. This intermediate can be worked up under conditions described in Reaction Schemes B or C to give C20 hydroxy THF analogs. The C20 hydroxy derivative can then be oxidized to the C20 ketone under a variety of conditions. The Jones reagent (chromic acid and sulfuric acid in H.sub.2 O), pyridinium chlorochromate, or oxalyl chloride plus DMSO will achieve this conversion. ##STR10##
The lactone group can be rearranged to substituted THF ethers under acidic or basic conditions. Stirring the lactone derivative in an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol with an acid such as H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 or a base such as potassium carbonate (K.sub.2 CO.sub.3) gives the rearranged THF ester with the ester group corresponding to the alcohol selected as solvent. This reaction also causes the hydrolysis of the C4 acetate group which is reattached by stirring the hydroxy analog with acetic anhydride (Ac.sub.2 O).
R.sup.5a -acetadehyde THF derivatives can be prepared by reacting the lactone starting material with reducing agents such as NaBH.sub.4 or LiEt.sub.3 BH (Super hydride) in an alcoholic solvent.
R.sup.5a -ketone THF derivatives are prepared by reacting the lactone starting material with alkylmetal reagents such as methyl lithium in an aprotic solvent such as THF preferably at low temperatures such as -78.degree. C.
The R.sup.5a ester, aldehyde and ketone groups of these THF analogs can be derivatized with a variety of procedures commonly known to practitioners.
The C20 olefin can be reduced to the methyl derivative by procedures described in Reaction Scheme A. It can also be oxidatively cleaved by reaction with osmium tetroxide (O.sub.3 O.sub.4), preferably under catalytic conditions to give the diol. The diol is then cleaned with sodium meter periodate (NaIO.sub.4) to give the ketone. ##STR11##
Tetrahydrofuran derivatives ,variously modified at R.sup.5a and C20, can be selectively de-acetylated at C4 to give the corresponding alcohol by reaction with an aqueous solution of HCl (preferably 2M to 3M concentration) in THF at 45.degree. C. De-acetylation can also be achieved by reacting with CH.sub.3 (Cl)Al�N(OCH.sub.3)CH.sub.3 (Weinreb reagent) in inert solvents such as THF, toluene or methylene chloride.
When R.sup.5a contains an ester group, the C4 acetate can be selectively removed using HCl in THF. ##STR12##
The C4 hydroxy group can be oxidized to the corresponding ketone by a variety of oxidizing agents. The Jones reagent (chromic acid and sulfuric acid in H.sub.2 O), pyridinium chlorochromate, and oxalyl chloride plus DMSO all will achieve this conversion. ##STR13##
The C4 hydroxy group can also be dehydrated to give the olefin. Reaction of the alcohol with tris-phenoxymethylphosphonium iodide in hcxamethylphosphorous triamide (HMPT) at 75.degree. C. will achieve this conversion. ##STR14##
As depicted in Reaction Scheme I, esters at C4 can be prepared by reaction of a preformed carboxylic acid chloride with the C4 alcohol derivative (Reaction Scheme F) in a basic solvent such as pyridine. It should be understood that R.sup.4' is used to represent a portion of the R.sup.4 definition, e.g. R.sup.4 can be an alkyl carbonate which is depicted in the scheme as OC(.dbd.O)OR.sup.4', R.sup.4' representing the alkyl substituent. The acid chlorides, when not purchased, are prepared by stirring the carboxylic acids in reagents such as oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride. Esters may also be prepared by reaction of the acid chloride and C4 alcohol with silver cyanide (AgCN) in an aprotic solvent such as HMPA. C4 sulfonate derivatives are prepared in a similar manner by reaction with sulfonyl chlorides.
C4 carbonate and carbamate derivatives are prepared by first reacting the C4 alcohol derivative with carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) to obtain the imidazolecarbonyl intermediate which is then reacted with an alcohol or amine (R.sup.1 R.sup.2 NH) to give the corresponding carbonate or carbamate derivatives.
C4 ether derivatives can also be prepared. The best procedure involves reacting an alcohol with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Tf.sub.2 O, triflic anhydride) in the presence of a hindered base such as 2,6-di-t-butyl pyridine to obtain the preformed triflate in dichloromethane at reduced temperature, preferably -78.degree. C. To this solution is added the triterpene alcohol, the reaction mixture is warmed to room temperature and stirring is continued until reaction is complete. Ethers may also be prepared by heating a mixture of triterpene C4 alcohol, the appropriate alkylhalide and an excess of silver oxide (Ag.sub.2 O) in an aprotic inert solvent such as DMF. ##STR15##
Amines at C4 can be prepared from the C4 ketone described in Reaction Scheme G by reaction with an amine NHR.sup.1 R.sup.2 in a variety of solvents with a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride. ##STR16##
THF derivatives containing a C20(29) olefin can be selectively hydrogenated across this double bond to give the methyl analog by procedures described in Reaction Scheme A. ##STR17##
When THF analogs contain a C20 olefin, it can be selectively converted to the corresponding ketone by sequential reaction with osmium tetroxide or ruthenium tetroxide and sodium periodate.
The C20 ketone can be conveniently reduced to its corresponding alcohol by using tetramethylammonium triacetoxyborohydride in a solvent such as THF at room temperature. The C20 keto-THF and C20-hydroxy-THF derivatives can also be prepared by methods described in Reaction Scheme D. ##STR18##
The C20-29 olefin can be converted to the C20 hydroxymethyl derivative. One procedure involves reaction with diborane in THF followed by oxidative workup with tri-N-methylamine-N-oxide (Me.sub.3 NO).
The C20,C29 bis-alcohol can also be prepared by use of catalytic osmium tetroxide followed by oxidative workup with a reagent such as Me.sub.3 NO. ##STR19##
The C20 ketone derivative can be reacted to produce olefins with a variety of well known olefination agents. A particularly useful reagent is the Homer-Emmons-type of olefination reagent �(RO).sub.2 P(O)CR'R"!. This produces a mixture of geometric isomers.
Alternatively, the C20 ketone can be reacted with nucleophiles (R.sup.29a'.sup.- M.sup.+) to give C20 substituted hydroxy derivatives. In general, Grignard reagents (R.sup.29a' MgBr) or alkyllithium reagents (R.sup.29a' Li) are utilized in aprotic solvents such as diethyl ether or THF.
It should be understood that R', R", R.sup.29a' and R.sup.29b' are used to represent a portion of the R.sup.29a and R.sup.29b definitions, e.g. R.sup.29a can be a substituted olefin which is depicted in the scheme as .dbd.CR'R", R' and R" representing alkyl substituents. ##STR20##
Amines at C20 can be prepared from the C20 ketone by reaction with an amine R.sup.1 R.sup.2 NH in a variety of solvents with a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride. ##STR21##
The C20 hydroxy derivative (Reaction Scheme I) or the C20 hydroxymethyl derivative (Reaction Scheme J) can be converted to ether, ester, carbonate, carbamate, sulfonate and other related derivatives by procedures commonly practiced in the art and as described in Reaction Scheme I.
The C20 hydroxymethyl derivative may also be derivatized as a methanesulfonate ester or triflate ester by standard procedures. The methansulfinate or triflate can then be reacted with an amine NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 H to give amine derivatives. ##STR22##

An embodiment of the invention is a method for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Another embodiment of the invention is a method for the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I.
One end result of an autoimmune or a rejection process is tissue destruction caused by inflammatory cells and the mediators they release. Anti-inflammatory agents such as NSAID's and corticosteroids act principally by blocking the effect or secretion of these mediators, but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease. On the other hand, cytotoxic agents, such as cyclophosphamide, act in such a nonspecific fashion that both the normal and autoimmune responses are shut off. Indeed, patients treated with such nonspecific immunosuppressive agents are as likely to succumb from infection as they are from their autoimmune disease.
Cyclosporin A, which was approved by the US FDA in 1983, is currently the leading drug used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. The drug acts by inhibiting the body's immune system from mobilizing its vast arsenal of natural protecting agents to reject the transplant's foreign protein. Though cyclosporin A is effective in fighting transplant rejection, it is nephrotoxic and is known to cause several undesirable side effects including kidney failure, abnormal liver function and gastrointestinal discomfort.
Newer, safer drugs exhibiting fewer side effects are constantly being searched for in the field. The present invention provides for immunosuppressant agents which are inhibitors of a voltage dependent potassium channel, K.sub.v 1.3, that is found on human T-lymphocytes.
Potassium channels modulate a number of cellular events such as muscle contraction, neuro-endocrine secretion, frequency and duration of action potentials, electrolyte homeostasis, and resting membrane potential. These channels comprise a family of proteins that have been classified according to their biophysical and pharmacological characteristics. Inhibition of K.sup.+ channels, in their role as modulators of the plasma membrane potential in human T-lymphocytes, has been postulated to play a role in eliciting immunosuppressive responses. In regulating membrane potential, K.sup.+ channels play a role in the regulation of intracellular Ca.sup.++ homeostasis, which has been found to be important in T-cell activation. The biochemical characterization of K.sup.+ channels is underdeveloped, due to the paucity of selective high affinity probes.
Functional voltage-gated K.sup.+ channels can exist as multimeric structures formed by the association of either identical or dissimilar subunits. This phenomena is thought to account for the wide diversity of K.sup.+ channels. However, subunit compositions of native K.sup.+ channels and the physiologic role that particular channels play are, in most cases, still unclear.
The K.sub.v 1.3 channel is a voltage-gated potassium channel that is found in neurons, blood cells, osteoclasts and T-lymphocytes.
The Chandy and Cahalan laboratories proposed a hypothesis that blocking the K.sub.v 1.3 channel would elicit an immunosuppressant response. (Chandy et al., J. Exp. Med. 160, 369, 1984; Decoursey et al., Nature, 307, 465, 1984). However, the K.sup.+ channel blockers employed in their studies were non-selective. Until research with the peptide margatoxin, a peptide found in scorpion venom, no specific inhibitor of the K.sub.v 1.3 channel existed to test this hypothesis. Although a laboratory (Price et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 86, 10171, 1989) showed that charybdotoxin would block K.sub.v 1.3 in human T cells, charybdotoxin was subsequently shown to inhibit four different K.sup.+ channels (K.sub.v 1.3 and three distinct small conductance Ca.sup.++ activated K.sup.+ channels) in human T-lymphocytes, limiting the use of this toxin as a probe for the physiological role of K.sub.v 1.3 (Leonard et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89, 10094, 1992). Margatoxin, on the other hand, blocks only K.sub.v 1.3 in T-cells, and has immunosuppressant activity in both in vitro and in vivo models. (Lin et al., J. Exp. Med, 177, 637, 1993). Since the compounds of the embodiments of this invention produce blockade of K.sub.v 1.3, they will also inhibit T-cell activation.
Also within the scope of this invention is a method of treating a condition in a mammal, the treatment of which is effected or facilitated by K.sub.v 1.3 inhibition, comprising the administration of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a suitable pharmaceutical carrier and a compound of Formula (I), in an amount that is effective at inhibiting K.sub.v 1.3.
Also within the scope of this invention is a combination therapy comprising a compound of formula I and one or more immunosuppressant agents. These immunosuppressant agents within the scope of this invention include, but are not limited to, IMUREK.RTM. azathioprine sodium, brequinar sodium, SPANIDIN.RTM. gusperimus trihydrochloride (also known as deoxyspergualin), mizoribine (also known as bredinin), CELLCEPT.RTM. mycophenolate mofetil, NEORAL.RTM. Cyclosporin A (also marketed as different formulation of Cyclosporin A under the trademark SANDIMMUNE.RTM.), PROGRAF.RTM. tacrolimus (also known as FK-506) and RAPIMMUNE.RTM. sirolimus (also known as rapamycin), leflunomide (also known as HWA-486), glucocortcoids, such as prednisolone and its derivatives, antibody therapies such as orthoclone (OKT3) and Zenapax and antithymyocyte globulins, such as thymoglobulins.
Using the methodologies described below, representative compounds of the invention were evaluated and found to exhibit IC50 values of at least <10 .mu.M in any of the assays thereby demonstrating and confirming the utility of the compounds of the invention as K.sub.v 1.3 inhibitors and immunosuppressants.
T cell IL-2 Assay
Peripheral blood mononuclear (MNC) cells from healthy donors were separated by density centrifugation with ficoll-hypaque (LSM, Organon Teknika, Durham, N.C.), followed by rosetted with neuraminidase treated sheep red blood cells (SRBC). After another centrifugation with leucocyte separation medium (LSM), the SRBC of the rosetted T cells were then lysed with ammonium chloride lysing buffer (GIBCO, Grand Island, N.Y.). Such purified T cells were resuspended at 3.times.10.sup.6 /ml in RPMI 1640 culture medium (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.), 100 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, and 1% penn-strep (GIBCO). The cell suspension was immediately distributed into 96 well round-bottom microculture plates (Costar) at 200 .mu.l/well. The various dilutions of test compound were then added in triplicate wells at 25 .mu.l/well, incubated for 30 min at 37.degree. C. lonomycin (125 ng/ml), and PMA (1 or 5 ng/ml), were added to the appropriate wells. The culture plates were then incubated at 37.degree. C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO.sub.2 --95% air for 18-24 hours. The supernatants were removed, and assayed for IL-2 with an IL-2 capture ELISA, using monoclonal anti-IL-2, and biotinylated goat anti-IL-2 antibodies (unconjugated antibodies purchased from R&D System, Minneapolis, Minn.). The ELISA was developed with streptavidin conjugated peroxidase (Zymed, San Francisco, Calif.) and substrate for peroxidase (Sigma). Mean OD and units of IL-2 of the replicate wells were calculated from standard curve, created with recombinant IL-2 (Collaborative Biomedical Products, Bedford, Mass.) and the results were expressed as concentration of compound required to inhibit IL-2 production of T cells by 50%.
T cell Proliferation Assay
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC) from healthy donors were separated by density centrifugation with ficoll-hypaque (LSM, Organon Teknika, Durham, N.C.). After washing the MNC with complete media (RPMI 1640 medium with 5% fetal calf serum, 100 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acid, and 1% penn-strep, obtained from GIBCO, Grand Island, N.Y.), they were then irradiated at 7500 RADS, and resuspended at 4-4.5.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml in complete media. Another aliquot of MNC were rosetted with neuraminidase treated SRBC. After another centrifugation with LSM, the sheep red blood cells (SRBC) of these rosetted T cells were then lysed with ammonium chloride lysing buffer (GIBCO, Grand Island, N.Y.). After washing 2X with complete media, these purified T cells were also resuspended at 2-2.5.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml in complete media.
The various dilutions of the compound were added in triplicates at 50 .mu.l/well of a 96 well flat-bottom microculture plate (Costar, Cambridge, Mass.). T cell suspension was then immediately distributed into the wells at 100 .mu.l/well. After incubating the cells with compound for 30 min. at 37.degree. C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO.sub.2 --95% air, 20 .mu.l/well of anti-CD3 (Ortho Diagnostic, N.J.) at final conc. of 0.3 ng/ml was added, followed by 50 .mu.l of the irradiated MNC. The culture plates were then incubated at 37.degree. C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO.sub.2 --95% air for 72 hours. The proliferation of T lymphocytes was assessed by measurement of tritiated thymidine incorporation. During the last 18-24 hrs. of culturing, the cells were pulse-labeled with 2 .mu.Ci/well of tritiated thymidine (NEN, Cambridge, Mass.). The cultures were harvested on glass fiber filters using a multiple sample harvester (MACH-II, Wallac,Gaithersburg, Md.). Radioactivity of filter discs corresponding to individual wells was measured by standard liquid scintillation counting methods (Betaplate Scint Counter, Wallac). Mean counts per minute of replicate wells were calculated and the results were expressed as concentration of compound required to inhibit tritiated thymidine uptake of T cells by 50%.
KV1.3-Rubidium Efflux Assay
CHO cells transfected with K.sub.v 1.3 channels at site densities of approximately 40,000 sites/cell are plated into 96 well culture plates and maintained in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM, with L-Glutamine and HEPES, JRH Biosciences). Cells are incubated overnight with .sup.86 Rb.sup.+ (3 .mu.Ci/ml, Dupont-NEN) in the glutamine supplemented IMDM. After aspiration of the media, 100 .mu.l of Low K Buffer (in mM, 6.5 KCl, 125 NaCl, 1 CaCl.sub.2, 2 MgCl.sub.2, 10 HEPES, pH adjusted to 7.2 with NaOH) is added to each well followed by 100 .mu.l test samples in Low K Buffer also containing 0.2% BSA and 2 mM ouabain. Samples are tested at either 1 .mu.g/ml for routine screening or at a variety of concentrations encompassing at least 1/10 to 10 times the putative IC.sub.50 of test compound to determine potency. After a fixed preincubation time, which is usually 10 min, the samples are aspirated.
The K.sub.v 1.3 channels are opened by depolarization of the cells with High K Buffer (final concentrations, in mM, 63.25 KCl, 68.25 NaCl, 1 CaCl.sub.2, 2 MgCl.sub.2, 10 HEPES, pH adjusted to 7.2 with NaOH) also containing test compounds. To measure .sup.86 Rb.sup.+ efflux through the channels, aliquots of 100 .mu.l are taken from each well after a given time and added to plates containing 100 .mu.l MicroScint-40 (Packard) for counting by liquid scintillation techniques. MicroScint-40 (100 .mu.l) is then added to each well of the cell plate to determine the remaining .sup.86 Rb.sup.+ activity. The efflux counts are normalized for the total amount of .sup.86 Rb.sup.+ that was in the cells by adding the efflux counts to the cell plate counts. Activity is determined by % inhibition of the efflux window that is established using a saturating concentration of margatoxin (MgTX), a 39 amino acid peptide that is a potent blocker of K.sub.v 1.3 channels (IC.sub.50 =100 pM).

The compounds of this invention can be administered for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants and/or related afflictions, diseases and illnesses according to the invention by any means that effects contact of the active ingredient compound with the site of action in the body of a warm-blooded animal. For example, administration, can be oral, topical, including transdermal, ocular, buccal, intranasal, inhalation, intravaginal, rectal, intracisternal and parenteral. The term "parenteral" as used herein refers to modes of administration which include subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular injection or infusion, intrasternal and intraperitoneal.
The compounds can be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic agents or in a combination of therapeutic agents. They can be administered alone, but are generally administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.
For the purpose of this disclosure, a warm-blooded animal is a member of the animal kingdom possessed of a homeostatic mechanism and includes mammals and birds.
The dosage administered will be dependent on the age, health and weight of the recipient, the extent of disease, kind of concurrent treatment, if any, frequency of treatment and the nature of the effect desired. Usually, a daily dosage of active ingredient compound will be from about 1-500 milligrams per day. Ordinarily, from 10 to 100 milligrams per day in one or more applications is effective to obtain desired results. These dosages are the effective amounts for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants and/or related afflictions, diseases and illnesses.
The active ingredient can be administered orally in solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, troches, dragees, granules and powders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups, emulsions, dispersions, and suspensions. The active ingredient can also be administered parenterally, in sterile liquid dosage forms, such as dispersions, suspensions or solutions. Other dosages forms that can also be used to administer the active ingredient as an ointment, cream, drops, transdermal patch or powder for topical administration, as an ophthalmic solution or suspension formation, i.e., eye drops, for ocular administration, as an aerosol spray or powder composition for inhalation or intranasal administration, or as a cream, ointment, spray or suppository for rectal or vaginal administration.
Gelatin capsules contain the active ingredient and powdered carriers, such as lactose, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.

Antioxidizing agents such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propylparaben, and chlorobutanol.
Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, A. Osol, a standard reference text in this field.
For administration by inhalation, the compounds of the present invention may be conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or nebulisers. The compounds may also be delivered as powders which may be formulated and the powder composition may be inhaled with the aid of an insufflation powder inhaler device. The preferred delivery system for inhalation is a metered dose inhalation (MDI) aerosol, which may be formulated as a suspension or solution of a compound of Formula I in suitable propellants, such as fluorocarbons or hydrocarbons.
For ocular administration, an ophthalmic preparation may be formulated with an appropriate weight percent solution or suspension of the compounds of Formula I in an appropriate ophthalmic vehicle, such that the compound is maintained in contact with the ocular surface for a sufficient time period to allow the compound to penetrate the corneal and internal regions of the eye.
Useful pharmaceutical dosage-forms for administration of the compounds of this invention can be illustrated as follows:
Capsules
A large number of unit capsules are prepared by filling standard two-piece hard gelatin capsules each with 100 milligrams of powdered active ingredient, 150 milligrams of lactose, 50 milligrams of cellulose, and 6 milligrams magnesium stearate.
Soft Gelatin Capsules
A mixture of active ingredient in a digestible oil such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil or olive oil is prepared and injected by means of a positive displacement pump into gelatin to form soft gelatin capsules containing 100 milligrams of the active ingredient. The capsules are washed and dried.
Tablets
A large number of tablets are prepared by conventional procedures so that the dosage unit is 100 milligrams of active ingredient, 0.2 milligrams of colloidal silicon dioxide, 5 milligrams of magnesium stearate, 275 milligrams of microcrystalline cellulose, 11 milligrams of starch and 98.8 milligrams of lactose. Appropriate coatings may be applied to increase palatability or delay absorption.
Injectable
A parenteral composition suitable for administration by injection is prepared by stirring 1.5% by weight of active ingredient in 10% by volume propylene glycol. The solution is made to volume with water for injection and sterilized.
Suspension
An aqueous suspension is prepared for oral administration so that each 5 milliliters contain 100 milligrams of finely divided active ingredient, 100 milligrams of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 5 milligrams of sodium benzoate, 1.0 grams of sorbitol solution, U.S.P., and 0.025 milliliters of vanillin.
The same dosage forms can generally be used when the compounds of this invention are administered stepwise or in conjunction with another therapeutic agent. When drugs are administered in physical combination, the dosage form and administration route should be selected depending on the compatibility of the combined drugs. Thus the term coadministration is understood to include the administration of the two agents concomitantly or sequentially, or alternatively as a fixed dose combination of the two active components.

The following examples illustrate the preparation of the compounds of Formula I and as such are not to be considered as limiting the invention set forth in the claims appended hereto.

A Method Of Extracting The Compounds Of Formula 1(a) and 1(b) From Spachea correa ##STR23##
One gram of an ethanol extract of the roots of Spachea correa was partitioned between 100 ml of hexane (twice) and 100 ml of 90% aqueous methanol. After separation of the phases, the defatted methanol was concentrated down under vacuum to give an aqueous suspension. This was diluted out to 100 ml with water and extracted, with 100 ml of methylene chloride.
The bioactive methylene chloride extract was dried down to give 12 mg of residue. This was first fractionated by preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) on a 20 cm by 20 cm E. Merck silica gel 60F.sub.254 plate of 1 mm thickness using methylene chloride-ethyl acetate 1:1 (v/v) as solvent, then by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Zorbax RxC.sub.8 4.6 mm.times.25 cm column, operated at 50.degree. C. and eluted with a 50 minute gradient of acetonitrile:water (1:1, v/v) to 100% acetonitrile, delivered at 1 ml/min, to afford 4 mg of compound 1(a) and 1 mg of 1(b).
Homogeneity of the preparations was ascertained in several TLC systems, such as E. Merck silica gel 60F.sub.254, methylene chloride-ethyl acetate 1:1, Rf 1(a) 0.4, Rf 1(b) 0.3; Whatman KC.sub.18, methanol-water 9: 1, Rf 1(a) 0.65, Rf 1(b) 0.75 and by HPLC using a Zorbax RxC.sub.8 column, acetonitrile-water 3:2, k' 1(a) 4.15, k' 1(b) 3.30; and by NMR.
Mass spectra were recorded on JEOL SX-102A (electron impact, EI,903V) and JEOL HX110 (Fast Atom Bombardment, FAB) mass spectrometers. Exact mass measurements were performed at high resolution (HR-EI) using perfluorokerosene (PFK) as the internal standard. Trimethylsilyl derivatives were prepared with a 1:1 mixture of BSTFA-pyridine at room temperature. The FAB spectrum was run in a matrix of dithiothreitol (20/80).

EXAMPLE 2
A Method Of Extracting The Compounds Of Formula 1(c) And 1(d) From Spachea Correa ##STR24##
Analogs of the compounds of Formula 1(a) and 1(b) could be detected in the crude extract and fractions thereof when the process of Example 1 was carried out on a larger scale. Thus, 50 g of ethanol extract were partitioned as described in Example 1 using 900 ml of each solvent at each step.
Partial purification of the methylene chloride extract was achieved by column chromatography on E. Merck silica gel 60 (120 ml), eluting with a step gradient of ethyl acetate in methylene chloride. The step gradient was designed so that the column was washed first with 100% methylene chloride and then with methylene chloride-ethyl acetate mixtures of 9:1, 8:2, 3:2, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 2:8 and 1:9. Ultimately the column was washed with 100% ethyl acetate. Fractions eluted with methylene chloride-ethyl acetate 3:2 were enriched in compound of Formula 1(a) and 1(b). These were resolved by HPLC using a Zorbax RxC.sub.8 9 mm.times.25 cm column, maintained at 50.degree. C. and eluted at 4 ml/min with acetonitrile-water 1:1 v/v. Three identical runs finally afforded 100 mg and 20 mg respectively of 1(a) and 1(b) after crystallization from methanol.
Later-eluting fractions from the silica gel column above were found to contain at least two related compounds based on UV spectra and color reactions on TLC plates. Material from the methylene chloride-ethyl actate 1:1 and 1:2 washings were combined and evaporated down. Separation was achieved on the same HPLC column as above, eluting with a 50 minute gradient of 30% to 50% acetonitrile in water. Two identical runs gave 6 mg of purified compound 1(c). Fractions containing the compound of Formula 1(d) were again processed by HPLC (same column) using acetonitrile-water 3:7 delivered isocratically, to yield 2 mg of purified Formula 1(d).
The mass spectra of these compounds were recorded on a Finnigan TSQ700 mass spectrometer (electrospray ionization, ESI). The samples were analyzed by LC/MS using a 2.1.times.150 mm C.sub.8 column at 0.2 ml/min. with a mobile phase of 45% acetonitrile/0.01M aqueous ammonium acetate at 50.degree. C. Component 1(d) had a retention time of 10.5 min. and a molecular weight of 744 which is observed a m/z: 745 (M+H), 762 (M+NH.sub.3), 786 (M+H+MeCN). Component 1(c) has a retention time of 11.8 and a molecular weight of 746 which is observed at m/z: 747 (M+H), 764 (M+NH.sub.3) and 788 (M+H+MeCN).
The .sup.13 C NMR spectra obtained for the compound of Formula 1(c) using the conditions previously described is as follows:
15.1 (2.times.), 16.9, 19.8, 20.8, 20.91, 20.94, 21.9, 22.3, 35.6, 40.6, 42.2, 43.9, 45.0, 47.7, 50.8, 53.5, 55.6, 61.8, 63.5, 66.0, 67.6 (2.times.), 69.8, 70.0, 73.9, 75.0, 75.6, 119.3, 123.7, 139.0, 144.4, 167.8, 169.2, 169.5, 170.1, 170.4, 171.4 ppm.
The carbon count of 38 is in agreement with the molecular formula C.sub.38 H.sub.50 O.sub.16 derived by scanning HR EI-MS.
EXAMPLE 3
Separation By HPLC
Compounds of this invention were characterized by the following behavior during HPLC separation on a Zorbax RxC.sub.8 4.6 mm.times.25 cm column, maintained at 50.degree. C. and eluted at 1 ml/min with acetonitrile-water 3:2 v/v): Compound 1(a): k'=4.15; 1(b): k'=3.30; 1(c): k'=2.30; 1(d): k'=2.10.
Analyses using this HPLC system can be used to quantify the compounds in the crude extract or other mixtures, by comparing the absorbance of HPLC peaks at a wavelength of 220 nm with that produced by injections of known (weighed) amounts of pure standards.
EXAMPLE 4
Additional Purification Procedure
A simplified purification process allows for rapid fractionation of even larger amounts of crude extract and the preparation of gram amounts of the compounds of Formula 1(a) and 1(b).
The ethanol extract is first dissolved at 20 grams per 150 ml in methanol. This solution is diluted with 150 ml of water and then extracted three times with methylene chloride using 150 ml of methylene chloride each time. The pooled methylene chloride extracts are evaporated down and fractionation proceeds by repeated column chromatography on silica gel. One employs methylene chloride-methanol 97:3 in a first step; the mixed compounds of Formula 1(a) and 1(b) thus obtained are resolved by chromatographing on fresh silica gel eluted with methylene chloride-ethyl acetate 3:1. Volume of elution for the compound of Formula 1(a) ranges from about 2 to about 3.5 column volumes of solvent; that for the compound of Formula 1(b) is about 3 to about 4.5 column volumes. Finally, advantage is taken of the low solubility of these compounds, and, after total resolution by chromatography, the compounds of Formula 1(a) and 1(b) can be precipitated and or crystallized from concentrated methanol solutions.
