Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a series of structurally modified derivatives of geldanamycin, the preparation methods of the said compounds, their applications in anti-virus and anti-tumor, and pharmaceutical composition of the said compounds.

BACKGROUND

Geldanamycin is a benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic generated by fermentation of Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Its molecule composes of a benzoquinone structure and a planar macrocyclic ansamycin bridge. The target of geldanamycin is heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), it deactivates Hsp90 specifically to inhibit tumor growth or virus replication. Through interfering normal functioning of Hsp90, geldanamycin holds back the activation of the substrate protein of Hsp90, induces interdiction of cell cycle and inhibits virus replication, thereby exerting anti-virus and anti-tumor effects. The unique mechanism of geldanamycin makes itself with broad anti-virus and anti-tumor spectra, it suffers no cross resistance of the subjects with other medicines and its subjects are difficult to generate resistance against it. Geldanamycin is an excellent lead compound for new anti-virus and anti-tumor drugs using cytokine as their targets.

With the study of Hsp90 inhibitor screening as the main object, the Institute of Medicinal Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences carried out a series of studies on geldanamycin, it possesses a patent on the usage of geldanamycin as a anti-virus infection drug (ZL97100523), studied in depth the anti-virus activity and mechanism of geldanamycin, as well as its application development (Li Yuhuan, Tao Pei-Heng et al: Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 48(3): 867-872; 2004). On the basis of synthesis and study on the anti-virus effect of geldanamycin 17-Nucleoside derivatives (CN1817866A), the applicant of this invention has further synthesized a series of new 17-modified as well as 17- and 19-simultaneously modified derivatives of geldanamycin, and has tested the anti-virus activities of the compounds. Up to now, no published reports on said modified derivatives of geldanamycin and their anti-virus activities have been seen in the literature in China as well as abroad.

A main object of this invention is to obtain new types of Hsp90 inhibitor with weaker toxicities through introduction of various substitutes in 17- and/or 19-positions of geldanamycin molecules, while they retain or strengthen the original anti-virus activity of geldanamycin. The achievements studied out these new types of Hsp90 inhibitor with weaker toxicities and higher efficiencies can lay a foundation for further studies and developments on anti-virus and anti-tumor medicines with Hsp90 as target.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention provides a series of structurally modified derivatives of geldanamycin, whose structures are shown in Formula (I):

wherein:
R1 is a substituent which has a linkage moiety on its one end consisting of linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated chain containing 3 to 20 carbon atoms and containing or not containing ether, ester or amide bonds in said chain, and the other end of the substituent is an alicyclic or aromatic cyclic group which may optionally be substituted by hydrocarbyl, halogen, hydroxyl, carboxyl, nitrile group, amino, sulfonic or phosphoric acid group or esters or salts thereof;
R2 is H or a same substituent as R1 or a different substituent from R1;

X is NH, O or S; or X—R2 is H.

The preparation of Formula (I) compounds can be realized by using the following general method. The amine containing substituent R1 is synthesized or purchased, and is allowed to react with geldanamycin in a haloalkane, alcoholic or polar aprotic solvent (N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, or acetone) and under alkaline condition (triethylamine, pyridine, N, N-dimethylpyridine, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, or calcium hydroxide) to obtain 17-mono substituted compound (I, X—R2 is H). The 17-, 19-bisubstituted compounds are prepared by reacting 17-monosubstituted compounds used as material with R2XH under the similar condition to obtain target 17-, 19-bisubstituted compounds (I, both R1 and X—R2 are not H).

When the other side of R1 is 3,4-di-hydroxyl-methylated caffeic acid moiety, the preparation of Formula (I) compounds can be realized according to the following route: firstly, caffeic acid reacts with a methyalting reagent (dimethyl sulfate, methyl methanesulfonate, methyl iodide, dimethyl carbonate) under alkaline condition to obtain 3,4-di-hydroxyl-methylated caffeic acid. The latter is reacted with acyl chlorinating reagent to obtain the acyl chloride, which reacts subsequently with mono N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-ethylenediamine

to obtain (2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino) ethyl-3,4-di-hydroxyl-methylated caffeoyl amide. After removal of tert-Butyl protective group, (2-amino)ethyl-3,4-di-hydroxyl-methylated caffeoylamide is obtained. The latter is subsequently reacted with geldanamycin using the method similar to the aforementioned to produce geldanamycin derivative containing di-hydroxyl-methylated caffeoylamide moiety in the 17-position of the compound.

When the other side of R1 is a cytidine moiety, the preparation of the compounds of Formula (I) structure is as follows: cytidine is reacted with 2,2-dimethoxypropane under acidic condition to obtain 2′,3′-isopropylidene cytidine. Under the effect of a dehydrating reagent (DCC, TBU), the product condensates with γ-tert-Butoxycarbonylamino butyric acid to obtain esterification product of the acid with 2′,3′-isopropylidene cytidine. After removal of the BOC protective group by alcoholysis under acidic catalysis, cytidine γ-aminobutyrate hydrochloride is obtained. Finally, geldanamycin derivative with 17-cytidine moiety is produced by reacting cytidine γ-aminobutyrate hydrochloride with geldanamycin using the method similar to the aforementioned.

When the other side of R1 is a niacinamido moiety, the preparation of the compound of Formula (I) structure is as follows: the nicotinoyl chloride produced by reacting nicotinic acid with acyl chlorination reagent (dichlorosulfoxide) is reacted with 2-(N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl)ethanediamine to obtain 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino) ethyl niacinamide. After removal of the protective group under acidic catalysis, (2-amino) ethyl niacinamide is obtained, which is finally reacted with geldanamycin to produce geldanamycin derivatives with 17-niacinamido moiety using the method similar to the aforementioned.

When the other side of R1 is a phosphonate moiety, the preparation of the compound of Formula (I) structure is as follows: Phthalimide potassium salt is reacted with p-tolyl sulfonyloxoalkyl phosphonate diethyl ester in a polar aprotic solvent, to produce N-alkylphosphonate diethyl ester-phthalimide, which further reacts with hydrazine hydrate to produce aminoalkyl phosphonate diethyl ester. Finally, geldanamycin derivative with 17-phosphonate moiety is produced by reacting aminoalkyl phosphonate diethyl ester with geldanamycin using the method similar to the aforementioned.

All compounds comprised in this invention can be prepared according to aforementioned reaction route and method (Table 1).

Compounds having the structure of Formula (I) are tested for their anti-HBV, anti-HIV and anti-HSV activities. Based upon the mechanism of geldanamycin effect on Hsp90, geldanamycin has simultaneously anti-tumor activity.

This invention also provides the pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds with therapeutically effective amount as the active components and one or more pharmacologically acceptable carriers.

Example 1Preparation of 17-(2′-(1″-oxa-4″-azacyclohexyl-1″-)ethylamino)-17-demethoxy geldanamycin (GM-APML)

50 mg geldanamycin (89.29 μmol) is added into 5 mL CHCl3 and 0.5 ml methanol. The mixture is stirred until geldanamycin dissolved to result in an orange solution. 21 mg (164 μmol) 4-(2-aminoethyl)-1-oxa-4-azacyclohexane is subsequently added. After reacting at room temperature for 4 days, the solvent in resultant is evaporated to dryness to obtain dark purple solid. The solid residue is dissolved into 10 mL ethyl acetate and the resulted solution is washed successively with deionized water, saturated NaHCO3 solution, 1 mol/LHCl solution and saturated NaCl solution. The organic phase is added with anhydrate Na2SO4 and is dried overnight. The Na2SO4 is then filtered out and the organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrated solution is then chromatographically separated using a silica gel column, 46.2 mg GM-APML is then obtained (yield 61.2%).
