Description

SUBSTITUTED PHOSPHONATES, THE PROCESSES FOR
THEIR PREPARATION AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS
CONTAINING THEM This invention relates to novel phosphonates substituted with a dialkyl phenol moiety and the processes for their preparation. It further relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and their therapeutic use in diseases in which reactive oxygen radicals have been implicated and more specifically in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
Reactive oxygen species are involved in a number of pathologies, pharmacological and clinical evidence have been firmly established in the following cases (Halliwell, B. et al. "Role of Free Radicals and Catalytic Metal Ions in Human Disease: an Overview", Methods Enzymol.186, 1-85, 1990):
- inflammatory and immunologic injuries (autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis),
- ischemia/reperfusion injury,
- radiation injury,
- premature ageing,
- Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases,
- cancer and anti-cancer treatments,
- conditions associated with impaired blood circulation such as intermittent claudication, excessive platelet aggregation, myocardial infarction and
atherosclerosis.
In these pathological situations antioxidant products would be useful as therapeutic agents. The tests performed by the inventors show that the phosphonates of formula (I) through their dialkyl phenol and phosphonate moieties display potent antioxidant activities and therefore offer this therapeutic potential.
In the particular case of atherosclerosis, it is now clearly proven that cholesterol carried in LDL is the most atherogenic form of plasma cholesterol. On the other hand current research shows that the uptake of oxidized LDL by macrophages leads to the formation of lipid-laden foam cells, which is the first step in the development of atherosclerosis. Numerous epidemiological studies have now firmly established that high blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. Based on the above, it can be postulated that the combination of a cholesterol lowering regimen with an antioxidant treatment might be more effective than either one. A drug which possesses the dual hypocholesterolemic and antioxidant property could therefore be highly effective in the treatment of atherosclerosis. The phosphonate compounds (I) of this invention inhibit markedly the synthesis of cholesterol in human cell lines similarly to the HMGCoA reductase enzyme inhibitors (lovastatin, simvastatin) which are potent hypocholesterolemic drugs in man. The combination of their antioxidant and hypocholesterolemic activities confer to the phosphonates of this invention the potential for treating diseases associated with elevated cholesterol levels and pathological lipid oxidation. Furthermore, the lipophilicity of these compounds predicts that they will become incorporated in the LDL and protect these particles against the damages caused by oxidative species.

PROCESSES FOR PREPARING COMPOUNDS OF FORMULA (I)
The present invention also relates to the processes used for preparing substituted phosphonates (I).
D is A-C(O)-B
--------------------------- A is (CH2)t, (CH=CH)n-CH=CX3, (CH2)t-CHX3, S(CH2)t-(CH=CH)n or
S-CX4X5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B is CH2, CH-X6 or C-X6X7
-------------------------------------------- The procedure described in Fig. 1 p. 10 consists in reacting the commercially available alkylphosphonate III with a suitable base such as n-butyllithium or lithium diisopropylamide. The lithium anion of compound HI thus formed is then reacted in situ with the appropriate ester II to give the substituted phosphonates (I). The reaction is carried out in an ether solvent such as dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran (THF), preferably in THF, at a temperature between -78°C and room temperature (25°C).
A second procedure described in Fig 2 p. 11 consists in condensing the unsaturated aldehyde IV with the starting compound ketophosphonate V using titanium tetrachloride and N-methyl morpholine as condensation agents. The reaction is carried out in an ether solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or dimethoxyethane, preferably THF, at a temperature between -30°C and the boiling point of the solvent (66°C in the case of THF). A compound of formula (I) where A is
(CH=CH)n-CH=CX3 is obtained. Compounds of formula (I) where A is
(CH2)t-CHX3 can be prepared by reacting the starting compound ketophosphonate V with an excess of a base or combination of bases. The bases are sodium hydride, sodium alkoxides, n-butyl lithium or lithium diisopropylamide. The anion of ketophosphonate V thus formed is then reacted with the halide VI, where Hal = Br or Cl. The reaction is carried out in tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane, dioxane, benzene or toluene. The temperature of the reaction varies between 0°C and the boiling point of the solvent.
Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 further illustrate the experimental aspects of the process described in Fig 2.
Concerning condensation reactions, in the case where B is a CH2 group, i.e. when the carbon alpha to the phosphonate functional group has two protons, in addition to the main reaction product formed by monocondensation at the gamma position, a side product is also formed by double condensation with the dialkyl phenol groups at the alpha and gamma positions (see ex 1 and 2). In the case where B = CHX6 or X6- C-X7, e.g. when two protons are not available at the alpha position, the compound formed by monocondensation at the gamma position is the sole reaction product (see ex 4 and 10). Likewise, when the alpha position is completely unsubstituted (B=CH2), in addition to the main reaction compound formed by monoaddition, these is also formed a side product occurring by double additions at the alpha and gamma positions (see ex 3). A is (CH=CH)n-CH=CH-C(O)-CHX3, (CH2)p-CH=CH-C(O)-CHX3,
(CH2)t-C(O)-CHX3, S(CH2)r(CH=CH)n-C(O)-CHX3 or
S-CX4X5-C(O)-CHX3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B is CH2, CH-X6 or C-X6X7
--------------------------------------------
The process described in Fig. 3 p. 12 consists in condensing an ester of formula VII with the dianion of ketophosphonate V at the gamma position. The dianion is generated by stepwise reaction of V with an equivalent of sodium hydride and an excess of a stronger base, e.g. n-butyl lithium or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in tetrahydrofuran at a temperature between -30° and 30°C. The excess of dianion is then reacted with the ester VII at a temperature between -70° and 30°C to yield the ketophosphonate (I) according to Fig. 3.
Compounds (I) which possess two ketone groups in their structures may in solution be in tautomeric equilibrium with enol forms. The diketone and enol forms of compounds (I) are integral part of this invention. A is (CH2)t, (CH=CH)n-CH=CX3, (CH2)t-CHX3 or S(CH2)t-(CH=CH)n or S-CX4X5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B is CH=CH-CX6X7 or CH=CH-(CH2)p
--------------------------------------------
The procedure for preparing compounds of formula (I) where D is A-C(O)-B, where A is (CH2)t, (CH=CH)n-CH=CX3, (CH2)t-CHX3,
S(CH2)t-(CH=CH)n or S-CX4X5, B is CH=CH-CX6X7 or CH=CH-(CH2)p consists in reacting an aldehyde of formula VIlla or VIIIb with a phosphorus reagent which may be a phosphonate compound of formula IX or a phosphonium salt of formula X:
CH2 - PO3 (Alkyl) 2
— CH2 -P (C6 H5 ) 3 Br The reaction is carried out in an ether solvent, such as dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran in presence of a base such as sodium hydride or lithium
diisopropylamine.
D is A-CH(OH)-B
------------------------
The ketophosphonates of formula (I) previously described can be reduced to the corresponding hydroxyphosphonate derivatives. The reduction can be carried out with complex hydride reagents such as sodium borohydride, lithium borohydride, sodium bis (2-methoxyethoxy) aluminum hydride, sodium trimethoxyborohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride.
Suitable solvents include ether, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol. Prefered reduction conditions are sodium borohydride in methanol at a temperature between -20°C and 65°C. D is A'-CH(O-CO-X8)-B'
-------------------------------------
The above-mentioned hydroxyphosphonates can be esterified to the corresponding acyloxy-phosphonate derivatives by employing known procedures. Suitable reaction conditions involve heating the hydroxyphosphonates with an appropriate acid anhydride (X8-CO)2O or an appropriate acid chloride X8-CO-Cl in presence of a tertiary amine, eg. triethyl amine or pyridine. The reaction temperature can range between 0°C to the boiling point of the acylating agent.
D is A-CH2-B, (CH2)t-(CH=CH)n-(CH2)t, S-(CH2)t
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ketophosphonates (I) can be reduced to the corresponding alkylphosphonates and alkenylphosphonates by reduction of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone derivatives with sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride or catechol borane.
Phosphonic acids of structure (I) where Z1=Z2 =OH can be prepared from the corresponding phosphonate esters by reaction with bromotrimethyl silane to produce bis (trimethylsilyl) phosphonates which are reacted in situ with water or methanol.
The starting compounds alkylphosphonates III are commercially available. The starting compounds ketophosphonates V are prepared according to known literature methods: E. J. Corey and G. T. Kwiatkowski, J. Am. Chem. Soc.90, p. 6816-6821 (1968) and F. Mathey and P. Savignac, Tetrahedron 34, P- 649-654 (1978).

A. Antioxidant Activity
1) Iron induced peroxide formation in rat liver homogenate
Wistar rats were euth anasied by ether inhalation. The livers were dissected out and homogenised with a potter homogeneiser in 4 volumes of phosphate buffer (4°C, pH 7.4). After centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 10 min the supernatant obtained was kept at 4°C.
A mixture containing 0.2 ml of liver homogenate, 1.7 ml of phosphate buffer was incubated with 0.1 ml of a 2mM FeSO4 solution to induce peroxide formation according to the method described by A. T. Quintanilha et al., Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., 393, 32-47, 1982.
Compounds to be tested for antioxidant activity were dissolved in DMSO or ethanol and added in a volume of 5 μl to the incubation mixture. Stock solution of the compounds were diluted sequentially to obtain final concentration of 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 5 μM. Oxidation was performed at 37°C for 2 hours and was stopped by the addition of 20 μl of a 2% ethanolic solution of BHT. The generated peroxides measured as malondialdehyde formation were quantitated according to the method of Yagi ("Lipid Peroxides in Biology and Medicine" p. 223-242, 1982, Ed. K. Yagi, Academic Press Inc.) using the Thiobaibituric Acid Reaction and with 1,1,3,3,-tetramethoxypropane as standard. Results are given as concentration in μmol/l which inhibits malondialdehyde formation by 50% (IC50).
All the tested compounds have IC50's between 0.5 and 5 μM and are more active man Probucol, vitamin E and Vitamin C. Butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT) has an IC50 of 3.3 μM in this assay. Compound of formula (I) are thus useful for the treatment of disease states in which oxygen reactive species are involved. 2) Copper Oxidation of human low density lipoproteins (LDL) Plasma was obtained after low speed centrifugation of blood from donors. LDL
(d= 1.006- 1.063 g/ml) were isolated by preparative ultracentrifugation in a salt solution (NaBr, KBr). The isolated LDL fraction was dialysed against phosphate buffer.
LDL oxidation was performed according to Esterbauer et al. (Continuous
Monitoring of in Vitro Oxidation of Human Low Density Lipoprotein, Free Rad. Res. Commun.6, 67-75, 1989). Briefly the LDL suspension (50-200μg protein/ml) was distributed in quartz cuvettes and kept at 37°C then a solution of CuCI2 was added at a final concentration of 5μM. The increase in optical density at 235 nm was recorded using a UV- visible spectrophotometer. The time course of oxidation was recorded over a period of 8 hours at 10 min intervals. Compounds to be tested were dissolved in ethanol and added at the final concentration of 0.1 μM. Controls received ethanol only. The lag phase is prolonged by the presence of antioxidants. This method was validated with Probucol and vitamin-E as reference antioxidants.
The prolongation of the lag phase was used to quantify the antioxidant activity of the compounds tested, this prolongation was expressed in percent of the value measured in absence of exogen antioxidant (controls).
The phosphonates of Formula (I) as noted in Table 3 prolong the lag phase compared to control. An inhibitory activity on LDL oxidation is thus demonstrated which is clearly superior to that of Probucol and vitamin E. Since these two antioxidants have been shown to be anti-atherosclerotic in animal models, the therapeutic potential of phosphonates of Formula (I) is obvious.
B. Inhibition of Cholesterol and Cholesteryl Esters Synthesis
The human intestinal cell line CaCo2 cells (ATCC HTB37) was used to study the effect of compounds of formula (I) on cholesterol synthesis. The cells were grown in 6 wells dishes (Falcon) in 2 ml of Dulbecco's modified Eagle culture medium
(DMEM) supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum (Flow). Cells were maintained at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere and the labelling experiment was done 8 days after cell plating. To the culture were added 10 μl of the eth anol solution of the compounds to be tested. Control wells received 10μl of ethanol alone. One hour later 0.7 μCi of 14-C-acetate 53.4 mCi/mmol was added, labelling was continued for 4 hours and was stopped by washing the cell layer with chilled PBS. The cells were collected in 2ml of 0.01 N NaOH and 1 ml of PBS. Lipids were extracted by the Folch method and separated on silica gel TLC plates developed in petroleum ether: diethyl ether: acetic acid (70:30: 0.5). After exposition to iodine vapors, the bands corresponding to cholesterol and cholesteryl esters were scrapped off and radioactivity was measured in a liquid scintillator counter.
The amount of radioactivity incorporated in cholesterol and cholesteryl esters in presence of compounds to be tested was compared to that of the control cells.
HMGCoA reductase inhibitors such as simvastatin (1μM) served to validate the measurement of 14C-acetate incorporation in cholesterol and cholesteryl esters.
All the compounds tested inhibited cholesterol and cholesteryl esters synthesis.
Most of the compounds inhibited cholesteryl esters synthesis by more than 50%
(Table 4). Phosphonates of formula (I) display an inhibitory activity on cholesterol and cholesteryl esters and can be considered as therapeutic agents in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and ath erosclerosis.
C. Calcium Entry Blocking activity of ketophosphonates
Experiments were performed on aortic rings from male Sprague -Dawley rats (280-350g body weight) which were killed by stunning and exsanguination.
Thoracic aortas were cleared of connective tissues and cut into rings of approximately 2mm in length. Each ring was mounted under a resting tension of 2g and was equilibrated for 1 hour at 37°C in a 10 ml organ bath containing a HEPES buffer Ringer solution (Buffer composition (mM): NaCl 139.0, KC15.0, MgCl23.7, D-Glucose 11.0, HEPES 5.0, pH 7.4) aerated with 95% O2:5% CO2.
Maximal contractions were produced within 5-10 min exposure to 10μM
Phenylephrine. The tissues were then washed with a Ca+2 free HEPES buffer. After 30 min the tissue was depolarised with KCl (60mM).One hundred μl of the vehicle (10% DMSO) or compound solution (1 μM) were added 5 min later. The final concentration of DMSO was 1%. The tissues (n=2 per compound) were further equilibrated for 15 min in the presence of compounds prior to cumulative addition of Ca+2 (0.1-30 mM). The contractions to each concentration of calcium are calculated as a percentage of the second phenylephrine contraction and the EC30 (concentration of Ca2+ producing a contraction 30% of the phenylephrine contraction) calculated. The potency index of each compound is expressed as the concentration ratio (calcium drug EC30/vehicle EC30), where a potency index >1 indicates a compound effect.
The compounds of formula (I) are thus potentially useful in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases via their calcium entry blocking activity. The primary indications of these compounds would be the treatment of atherosclerosis, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure and hypertension.
