Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0113] The accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this specification, illustrate several embodiments of the invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

[0114] FIG. 1 shows the pyrrolomorpholine spiroketal natural product family.

[0115] FIG. 2 shows acortatarin A analogues designed to probe structure-activity relationship (SAR) of discrete structural motifs.

[0116] FIG. 3 shows the synthesis of desformylbenzene analogue 7 via Stille coupling and Hg-mediated spirocyclization. TIPS=triisopropylsilyl; HMDS=hexamethyldisilazide.

[0117] FIG. 4 shows a radical coupling route to formylbenzene analogue 8. AIBN=azobisisobutyronitrile; DIBAL-H=diisobutylaluminum hydride.

[0118] FIG. 5 shows syntheses of aldehyde-modified analogues 9ad by (a) direct modification of acortatarin aldehyde, or (b) convergent synthesis from corresponding pyrroles.

[0119] FIG. 6 shows exemplary syntheses of despyrrolo analogues 10 and 11.

[0120] FIG. 7 shows dose-response curves for antioxidant activity studies of compound 7.

[0121] FIG. 8 shows dose-response curves for antioxidant activity studies of compound 8.

[0122] FIG. 9 shows a comparison of the antioxidant activity of pyrrolomorpholine spiroketal natural products with novel compounds.

[0123] FIG. 10 shows the antioxidant activity of D-acortatarin A against exogenous H.sub.2O.sub.2 treatment. Dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFDA) assay measured ROS levels upon treatment with 200 M H.sub.2O.sub.2. As shown, D-acortatarin A does not block the direct effect of the ROS H.sub.2O.sub.2 in rat mesangial cells, indicating that the compound acts upstream of the effects of the ROS (i.e., blocking its production).

[0124] FIG. 11 shows the antioxidant activity of D--desformybenzene against exogenous H.sub.2O.sub.2 treatment. DCFDA assay measured ROS levels upon treatment with 200 M H.sub.2O.sub.2. Similar to the results in FIG. 10, D--desformybenzene does not block the direct effect of the ROS H.sub.2O.sub.2 in rat mesangial cells, indicating that the compound acts upstream of the effects of the ROS (i.e., blocking its production).

[0125] FIG. 12 shows the antioxidant activity of the L-enantiomer of acortatarin A. Activity against hyperglycemia-induced ROS generation in rat mesangial cells (DCFDA assay) was measured. The procedure involved concomitant treatment with the compound plus high glucose for 3 h, followed by measurement of ROS levels. L-acortatarin A is inactive, supportive of the presence of a discrete molecular target as the basis for the mechanism of action.

[0126] FIG. 13 shows the antioxidant activity of L-desformybenzene. Activity against hyperglycemia-induced ROS generation in rat mesangial cells (DCFDA assay) was examined. The procedure involved concomitant treatment with the compound plus high glucose for 3 h, followed by measurement of ROS levels. L-desformybenzene is inactive, supportive of the presence of a discrete molecular target as the basis for the mechanism of action.

[0127] FIG. 14 shows the antioxidant activity of D--desformylbenzene. Activity against hyperglycemia-induced ROS generation in rat mesangial cells (DCFDA assay) was examined. The procedure involved concomitant treatment with the compound plus high glucose for 3 hours, followed by measurement of ROS levels. D--desformylbenzene is inactive, indicating the presence of a discrete molecular target as the basis for the mechanism of action.

In certain embodiments for parenteral administration, the conjugates described herein are mixed with solubilizing agents such as Cremophor, alcohols, oils, modified oils, glycols, polysorbates, cyclodextrins, polymers, and mixtures thereof.

[0304] Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions can be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation can be a sterile injectable solution, suspension, or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P., and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

[0305] The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

[0306] In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution, which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form may be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

[0307] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are typically suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the conjugates described herein with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active ingredient.

[0308] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or (a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, (b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, (c) humectants such as glycerol, (d) disintegrating agents such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, (e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, (f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, (g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, (h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and (i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage form may include a buffering agent.

[0309] Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the art of pharmacology. They may optionally comprise opacifying agents and can be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of encapsulating compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

[0310] The active ingredient can be in a micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings, and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active ingredient can be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms may comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may comprise buffering agents. They may optionally comprise opacifying agents and can be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of encapsulating agents which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

[0311] Dosage forms for topical and/or transdermal administration of a compound described herein may include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants, and/or patches. Generally, the active ingredient is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient and/or any needed preservatives and/or buffers as can be required. Additionally, the present disclosure contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which often have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of an active ingredient to the body. Such dosage forms can be prepared, for example, by dissolving and/or dispensing the active ingredient in the proper medium. Alternatively or additionally, the rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane and/or by dispersing the active ingredient in a polymer matrix and/or gel.

[0312] Suitable devices for use in delivering intradermal pharmaceutical compositions described herein include short needle devices. Intradermal compositions can be administered by devices which limit the effective penetration length of a needle into the skin. Alternatively or additionally, conventional syringes can be used in the classical mantoux method of intradermal administration. Jet injection devices which deliver liquid formulations to the dermis via a liquid jet injector and/or via a needle which pierces the stratum corneum and produces a jet which reaches the dermis are suitable. Ballistic powder/particle delivery devices which use compressed gas to accelerate the compound in powder form through the outer layers of the skin to the dermis are suitable.

[0313] Formulations suitable for topical administration include, but are not limited to, liquid and/or semi-liquid preparations such as liniments, lotions, oil-in-water and/or water-in-oil emulsions such as creams, ointments, and/or pastes, and/or solutions and/or suspensions.

EXAMPLES

[0348] These and other aspects of the present invention will be further appreciated upon consideration of the following Examples, which are intended to illustrate certain particular embodiments of the invention but are not intended to limit its scope, as defined by the claims.

Spiroketal Antioxidants

[0349] Biological evaluation of the entire family of pyrrolomorpholine spiroketal natural products 1-6 was recently reported. Antioxidant activity was assessed using a fluorescence-based assay to measure intracellular ROS levels in a rat mesangial cell model of hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress. For measurement of antioxidant activity, see, e.g., Wang et al. Radical Biol. Med. 1999, 27, 612-616; Magalhes et al. Anal. Chim. Acta. 2008, 613, 1-19. These studies identified acortatarin A (1) as the most promising inhibitor in this model, with an IC.sub.50 of 4.9 M and achieving complete inhibition of ROS induction at higher concentrations. Described herein are analogues based on systematic modification of acortatarin A (See FIG. 2) for structure-activity relationship studies, mechanistic studies, and therapeutic applications.

[0350] It has been postulated that acortatarin A may exert its antioxidant effect is through direct quenching of ROS via the pyrrole moiety. To investigate this possibility, benzannulated spiroketal analogue 8 was deigned that retains the aromaticity of the pyrrole but is unlikely to undergo direct oxidation. Alternatively, the aldehyde moiety of acortatarin A may react covalently with putative protein targets. Thus, the corresponding proteo, methyl, hydroxymethyl and methyl ester analogues 9ad were envisioned, as well as the corresponding desformylbenzene analogue 7 in the benzannulated series. To investigate the necessity of specific structural motifs, the pyrrole motif was deleted in the morpholine spiroketals 10ac as well as the deaza spiroketal analogue 11. Conversely, the ribose motif in pyrrolomorpholine analogue 12 was also deleted. Finally, as acortatarin A may be hydrolyzed intracellularly, acyclic analogue 13 was designed to assess the necessity of the spiroketal motif for activity.

Synthesis of Compounds

[0351] Due to the prohibitively low isolation yields of pyrrolomorpholine natural products from the natural sources, efficient synthetic access is required for detailed biological investigation and mechanism-of-action studies. Accordingly, this family has attracted considerable attention from the synthetic community. For additional syntheses of pyrrolomorpholine spiroketal natural products, see, e.g., Sudhakar et al. Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 5452-5455; Geng et al. Synlett 2012, 23, 855-858; Borrero et al. J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 8410-8416; Teranishi et al. Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 2013, 77, 676-678; Cao et al. Nat. Prod. Bioprospect. 2015, 5, 37-45; Cao et al. Synlett 2015, 26, 921-926; Wood et al. Org. Biomol. Chem. 2016, 14, 7659-7664. Concise, highly stereoselective syntheses of the complete family of pyrrolomorpholine spiroketal natural products and analogues, as well as early investigations of the bioactivity of the natural products and non-natural 2-hydroxypyranose analogues have been reported previously (see, e.g., Wurst et al. Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 4442-4445).

[0352] The stereoselective synthesis of acortatarin A via spirocyclization of a glycal precursor has been reported previously. Thus, it was envisioned that the desired acortatarin A analogues could be accessed through stereocontrolled cyclizations of the corresponding furanoglycal precursors. The synthesis of desformylbenzene analogue 7 was achieved from silyl-protected ribal 14, synthesized from d-thymidine as previously reported, which was Cl-stannylated to give 15 (See FIG. 3). Stille coupling of with benzylbromide 16, followed by deacetylation gave the key cyclization precursor 18. Mercury-mediated spirocyclization of 18 furnished -spiroketal 19 in 80:20 dr, which could be separated from the minor -diastereomer after desilylation to afford des-formylbenzene analogue 7.

[0353] En route to compound 8, an umpolung approach was utilized in which the benzyl side chain of 24 is installed via radical coupling (See FIG. 4). Alkylation of dicyanotoluene 23 was achieved via formation of a benzyl radical which could then couple with a reactive glycal partner. After exploration of various reactions conditions, glycal iodide 22 coupled effectively with dicyanotoluene 23 under radical conditions to give C1-benzylglycal 24. DIBAL reduction of the nitrile groups followed by aqueous workup provided the dialdehyde, which was selectively reduced to the monoalcohol 25. Finally, mercury-mediated spirocyclization and desilylation afforded formylbenzene analogue 8.

[0354] To access aldehyde-modified analogues 9ad, the oxidation state of the aldehyde was adjusted directly in silyl-protected acortatarin A 27 (See FIG. 5). Reduction of the aldehyde with LiAlH.sub.4 or NaBH.sub.4 provided, after desilylation, both methyl analogue 9b and hydroxymethyl analogue 9c, respectively. However, the desformyl analogue 9a and methyl ester analogue 9d were unable to be accessed from 27 due to epimerization or decomposition of the spiroketal scaffold under the reaction conditions. Thus, these analogues were instead synthesized by introducing the desired aldehyde modification prior to coupling and spirocyclization. N-Alkylation of the corresponding pyrrole fragments 29a and 29b with Cl-iodomethyl glycal 28 yielded the desired cyclization precursors 30a and 30b, which were then elaborated to acortatarin analogues 9a and 9d, respectively (See FIG. 5).

[0355] Despyrrolo analogues 10 and 11 were next synthesized, which lack the potentially oxidizable pyrrole ring of acortatarin A. Morpholine spiroketals 10ac were accessed from C1-formylglycal 31, prepared from protected ribal 14, via reductive amination with ethanolamine to afford cyclization precursor 33 (See FIG. 6). Unfortunately, attempted Hg-mediated spirocyclization did not provide the desired spiroketal 34, and instead led to complex mixtures and decomposition, possibly due to reactivity of the secondary amine. However, acid-catalyzed spirocyclization provided the desired a-spiroketal 34 in 75:25 dr, and the diastereomers were separable after desilylation to provide morpholine spiroketal 10a. Protected spiroketal 34 also served as a diversification point to access analogues 10b and 10c. The aliphatic spiroketal analogue 11 was synthesized via B-alkyl Suzuki coupling of C1-iodoglycal 22 and olefin 35 to give cyclization precursor 36 (See FIG. 6). Hg-mediated spirocyclization and desilylation then provided the desired aliphatic spiroketal analogue 11.

Biological Activity

[0383] Inhibitory activity of the compounds against hyperglycemia-induced ROS production in rat mesangial cells was evaluated, with N-acetyl cysteine used as a positive control (Table 1, entry 1). Consistent with previous report, acortatarin A exhibited an IC.sub.50 of 4.9 M and achieved complete inhibition of ROS induction at higher concentrations (Table 1, entry 2). Strikingly, replacement of the pyrrole ring with a benzene ring was advantageous in both desformylbenzene analogue 7 and formylbenzene analogue 8 (Table 1, entries 3,4). This suggests that acortatarin A likely does not function through direct quenching of ROS by pyrrole oxidation. Along these lines, it was also demonstrated that acortatarin A is unreactive to equimolar concentrations of H.sub.2O.sub.2, OH radical, as well as the reactive nitrogen species peroxynitrite. Similarly, Aponick and coworkers have previously reported first and second oxidation potentials of +1.74 and 1.90 V for acortatarin A in cyclic voltametry studies, in contrast to the low oxidation potentials of less than +0.70 V for most direct ROS quenchers.

[0384] Desformylbenzene analogue 7 was the most effective antioxidant, reducing ROS production to normal levels at a concentration of 5 M; in contrast, 20 M of acortatarin A was required for complete inhibition. This suggests that the aldehyde may not be required for activity of the benzannulated scaffold, and thus, that the mechanism of action may not involve formation of covalent adducts. In contrast, the desformylpyrrole analogue 9a showed no antioxidant activity (Table 1, entry 5), indicating that the aldehyde is required for activity of the pyrrolomorpholine scaffold. We hypothesize that the electron-withdrawing aldehyde in acortatarin A is essential to protect the pyrrole from oxidation, and indeed, treatment of desformylpyrrole analogue 9a with H.sub.2O.sub.2 leads to decomposition. Accordingly, the more electron-rich methylpyrrole analogue 9b and hydroxymethylpyrrole analogue 9c were also inactive (Table 1, entry 6,7), while the carboxymethylpyrrole analogue 9d retained activity (Table 1, entry 8).

[0385] Furthermore, simplified analogues 10-12 showed no activity (Table 1, entries 9-13), indicating that the tricyclic ring system is required for activity. The acortatarin A hydrolysis product 13 also exhibited no effect on ROS production (Table 1, entry 14), suggesting that the spiroketal motif is required for activity. However, it should be noted that the hydrolysis product 13 is very polar (C log P=2.05 vs 0.99 for acortatarin A) and may not be able to enter cells, and thus it is still possible that 13 is the active pharmacophore if hydrolysis of acortatarin A occurs intracellularly.

Antioxidant Activity Assays

[0386] The inhibitory effects of the pyrrolomorpholine spiroketals on high glucose-induced oxidative stress were evaluated in rat mesangial cells (RMC). The rat mesangial cells, obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (CRL-2573), were cultured at 37 C. in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 5.6 mM glucose (normal glucose), 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), nonessential amino acids, penicillin/streptomycin under a humidified atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO.sub.2. Rat mesangial cells were seeded in 96-well plates approximately 24 hours before the start of all experiments. For more details on the antioxidant activity assays, see, e.g., Wang et al. Free Radical Biol. Med. 1999, 27, 612-616; Magalhes et al. Anal. Chim. Acta. 2008, 613, 1-19; Peng et al. Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4932-4935; Hung et al. Am. J. Nephrol. 2009, 29, 192-202.

[0387] For each experiment, rat mesangial cells were incubated with pyrrolomorpholine spiroketal compound (0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 200 M) or 1 mM N-acetyl cysteine (NAC, positive control) in the presence of either 5.6 mM (normal glucose, NG) or 30 mM (high glucose, HG) D-glucose for 3 h. RMC were then incubated with 50 M dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) for 45 min, and intracellular production of ROS was detected by 2,7-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence (485 nm excitation, 530 emission) as measured by a microplate reader (SpectraMax M5/M5, Molecular Devices). Values are expressed as percentage of ROS inhibition, where fluorescence from untreated cells under normal glucose conditions was set at 0% and untreated cells under high glucose conditions was set at 100%.

[0388] The MTT viability assay was performed in every experiment to assess the cellular toxicity of each compound. The results showed that all compounds were non-toxic up to 200 M over 72 h (data not shown). In addition, cell viability was evaluated by trypan blue exclusion test, which indicated that all compounds were non-toxic up to 200 M over 72 h.
