Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel process for producing various gangliosides and analogues thereof which are expected to be used as medicines for curing dementia and anticancer medicines.
Ganglioside is a general term for sphingolipids having sialic acid and are given abbreviations such as GM1, GM2, GM3, GM4, GD2, GD3, GT2, GT3, and GT1b depending on their structures, especially sugar chain structures and they are widely present in living tissues of higher animals. Recently, gangliosides have been noted since it has been clarified that gangliosides have activity of an enhancement factor of proliferation and differentiation as acceptor molecules of hormones and bacterial toxin.
However, there have been very few examples of chemical synthesis of gangliosides and only a few reports have been made on synthesis of gangliosides, namely, synthesis of GM3 in Glycoconjugate J., 2, 5-9 (1985), synthesis of GM4 in Carbohydr. Res., 163, 209-225 (1987), etc. These known processes for preparation of gangliosides are very low in yield and are far from being put into practical use. Thus, development of a process for producing gangliosides and analogues thereof more effectively and in high yield has been desired.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing gangliosides and analogues thereof such as GM.sub.3, GM.sub.4 and the like in more effectively and high yields and further to provide useful intermediates therefor.

R in the formulas [I], [II], [III], [V], [VI], [VII], [VIII], [IX] and [X] includes aliphatic acyl groups such as acetyl group, propionyl group and butanoyl group. R.sup.1 in the formulas [I], [II], [III], [V], [VI], [VII], [VIII], [IX] and [X] includes lower alkyl groups such as methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group and butyl group. R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 in the formulas [I] and [VIII], R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 in the formulas [II] and [IX] and R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 in the formulas [III] and [X] independently represent acyl groups such as acetyl group, propionyl group, butanoyl group and benzoyl group. TAS in the formulas [I], [II] and [III] denotes trialkylsilyl groups such as trimethylsilyl group, triethylsilyl group, triisopropylsilyl group, and dimethyl t-butylsilyl group.

R.sup.8 in the formulas [VIII], [IX] and [X] represents --N.sub.3, --NH.sub.2 or --NHCOR' wherein R' includes saturated or unsaturated alkyl groups of 1-30 carbons as exemplified above.
The process for producing a ganglioside according to the present invention is generally practised in the following manner.
That is, first, a 2-.alpha.-O-glycoside compound of sialic acid represented by the formula [I], [II] or [III] is treated with a fluorine compound capable of generating fluoride ion (F.sup.-), such as BF.sub.3 -ether, NaBF.sub.4, KBF.sub.4, or LiBF.sub.4 or a Lewis acid such as FeCl.sub.3, if necessary, in a suitable non-polar solvent, thereby to eliminate the protecting group for hydroxyl group at 1-position on reduced terminal, namely, trialkylsilylethyl group. Normally, the reaction is carried out at a low temperature (about 0.degree. C..about.room temperature) and reaction time is about 1.about.10 hours. After termination of the reaction, the reaction mixture may be subjected to conventional after-treatments such as extraction with solvent and distilling off of the solvent. If necessary, the product may be purified by column chromatography and the like. Thereafter, the resulting compound is reacted with trichloroacetonitrile in the presence of a basic catalyst in a non-polar solvent such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane or chloroform to convert the hydroxyl group at 1-position of the reducing-end-glucose residue to trichloroacetoimide --OC(NH)CCl.sub.3. Examples of the basic catalyst are organic bases such as 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.3.0]undec-5-ene (DBU) and 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) and inorganic bases such as NaH, K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 and Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3. Generally, the reaction is carried out at a low temperature, for example, about 0.degree. C. or lower and reaction time is several hours which is sufficient. After termination of the reaction, the reaction mixture may be subjected to conventional after-treatments such as distilling off of solvent and, if necessary, may be purified by column chromatography or the like.
The resulting 2-.alpha.-O-glycoside compound of sialic acid having --OC(NH)CCl.sub.3 group at 1-position of the reducing-end-glucose residue is reacted with an azidosphingosine derivative represented by the above formula [IV] in a non-polar solvent such as dichloromethane or dichloroethane in the presence of a Lewis acid such as BF.sub.3 -ether or methyl triflate (methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate), whereby a compound where the above-mentioned --OC(NH)CCl.sub.3 group is substituted by the group represented by the formula: ##STR12## (wherein R.sup.7 and n are as defined hereabove), namely, the novel compound of the present invention represented by the formula [VIII], [IX] or [X] where R.sup.8 =--N.sub.3 can be obtained in a high yield. The reaction is normally carried out in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as a molecular sieves. The reaction temperature is usually about 0.degree. C. and the reaction time is usually about 1-10 hours. After termination of the reaction, the reaction mixture may be subjected to conventional after-treatments such as filtration to remove insoluble matters, extraction with solvent and distilling off of solvent and, if necessary, may be purified by column chromatography or the like. When the resulting compound is reduced under a weak reducing condition, the compound of the present invention represented by the formula [VIII], [IX] or [X] where R.sup.8 =--NH.sub.2 can be obtained in a high yield. When this compound is further N-acylated with a fatty acid, the novel compound of the present invention represented by the formula [VIII] , [IX] or [X] where R.sup.8 =--NHCOR' (R' is as defined hereabove) can be obtained in a high yield. The reducing agent used for reducing the azido compound as mentioned-above is preferably an acidic reducing agent such as hydrogen sulfide, but should not be limited thereto and can be any reducing agent which has reducibility of azido and does not reduce double bonds and does not eliminate acyl protecting groups. Reaction conditions naturally vary depending on the reducing agent used and reducing method and can be optionally chosen. For example, in the case of using hydrogen sulfide as a reducing agent, reaction is usually carried out in pyridine-water mixed solvent (e.g., a mixed solvent comprising pyridine:2-10 vol. and water:1 vol.) at about room temperature for 10-60 hours. After termination of the reaction, after-treatments may be effected in conventional manner. Normally, the reaction mixture is concentrated to dryness and then is directly subjected to the subsequent step, namely, N-acylation without isolation of amino compound. The fatty acid used for the N-acylation includes saturated or unsaturated fatty acids of 2-31 carbon atoms which may be either straight chain or branched chain acids. As examples thereof, mention may be made of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, octadecanoic acid (stearic acid), tetracosanoic acid (lignoceric acid), melissic acid, oleic acid, and linolic acid, but it is needless to say that they are not limited to these acids. The reaction of N-acylation is usually carried out in a suitable reaction solvent such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane or chloroform in the presence of a dehydration condensing agent such as 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or 1-ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (WSC) at room temperature or somewhat higher temperature for from several hours to several days. After the reaction, the reaction mixture may be subjected to conventional after-treatments such as extraction with solvent and distilling off of solvent and, if necessary, may further be purified by column chromatography or the like.
The protecting groups for hydroxyl group and carboxyl group of the resulting compound of the formula [VIII], [IX] or [X] where R.sup.8 =--NHCOR' are successively eliminated by conventional methods to obtain the objective ganglioside represented by the formula [V], [VI] or [VII] in a high yield. Elimination of protecting group (acyl group) for hydroxyl group can be performed by dissolving the compound obtained by the N-acylation in an alcohol solvent such as methanol or ethanol (preferably fully dehydrated one), adding thereto a suitable amount of an alkali, for example, a metal alcoholate such as sodium methylate or sodium ethylate and carrying out the reaction at 0.degree.-50.degree. C. for several to several ten hours with stirring. Elimination of protecting groups for carboxyl group can be performed by adding a small amount of water to the reaction mixture obtained after the elimination of the acyl protecting group and carrying out further reaction for several to several ten hours with stirring. After completion of the hydrolysis reaction, the reaction mixture may be subjected to conventional after-treatments such as neutralization, for example, by a cation exchange resin, filtration, and concentration to dryness of the filtrate.
The 2-.alpha.-O-glycoside compound of sialic acid used in the process of the resent invention and represented by the formulas [I], [II] and [III] can be easily synthesized, for example, in the following manner.
That is, first, an alkylthiosialic acid derivative represented by the following formula [*I] and disclosed in Japanese Patent Kokai No. 63-41494 as a sugar donor for formation of glycoside: ##STR13## (wherein R*.sup.2 represents a lower alkyl group and R and R.sup.1 are as defined above) is reacted with a compound represented by the formula [*II], [*III] or [*IV] which is a sugar acceptor: ##STR14## (wherein R.sup.3 and TAS are as defined above), ##STR15## (wherein R.sup.4 and TAS are as defined above), ##STR16## (wherein R.sup.6 and TAS are as defined above) in a polar solvent having no hydroxyl group such as acetonitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile or nitromethane (preferably fully dried one) in the presence of a Lewis acid such as methyl triflate (methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate), trimethylsilyl triflate (trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate) or dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate (DMTST) at a low temperature, for example, room temperature or less, preferably lower than -5.degree. C. for several hours to several ten hours. After the reaction, reaction mixture may be subjected to conventional after-treatments such as removal of insoluble matters by filtration and concentration of filtrate and, if necessary, may be purified by column chromatography or the like.
The resulting 2-.alpha.-O-glycoside compound of sialic acid is acylated by conventional methods, for example, by reacting it with acetic anhydride in anhydrous pyridine at room temperature for several hours to several ten hours, whereby 2-.alpha.-O-glycoside compounds of sialic acid represented by the formula [I], [II] and [III] used in the present invention can be easily obtained.
The compound represented by the formula [*II] used as a sugar acceptor for forming glycoside can be easily obtained, for example, by reacting a compound represented by the formula [*IIa]: ##STR17## (wherein TAS is as defined above) with an acylating agent (e.g., benzoyl chloride and acetic anhydride) in accordance with ordinary acylation method, in the presence of a base such as pyridine or triethylamine, if necessary, under cooling or by reacting a compound represented by the formula [*IIa] with di-n-butyltin oxide, tetra-n-butylammonium bromide and benzyl bromide in a non-polar solvent such as benzene, toluene, chloroform, dichloromethane or dichloroethane for 1-10 hours under heating in accordance with ordinary methods of benzylation of hydroxyl groups. Compounds obtained by the former method are compounds of the formula [*II] in which R.sup.3 is an acyl group such as benzoyl group or acetyl group and compounds obtained by the latter method are compounds of the formula [*II] in which R.sup.3 is benzyl group.
The compound represented by the formula [*III] used as a sugar acceptor can be easily obtained, for example, in the following manner.
That is, first, a compound represented by the formula [*II] where R.sup.3 is benzyl group is prepared by the latter method mentioned above using a compound represented by the formula [*IIa] as a starting material. Then, the resulting compound is reacted with an acylating agent (e.g., benzoyl chloride and acetic anhydride) in accordance with ordinary acylation methods in the presence of a base such as pyridine or triethylamine, if necessary, under cooling to selectively acylate the hydroxyl group at 6-position to obtain a compound represented by the formula [*IIIa]: ##STR18## (wherein Bn represents a benzyl group and R.sup.4 and TAS are as defined above). Then, this compound is reduced in accordance with conventional methods using, for example, formic acid as a hydrogen donor and palladium-carbon as a catalyst to obtain the compound of the formula [*III] with the modification group at 6-position being maintained and with only the benzyl group at 3-position being eliminated.
The compound represented by the formula [*IV] can be easily prepared, for example, by the following method.
That is, first, a compound represented by the formula [*IVa]: ##STR19## (wherein TAS is as defined above) is reacted with di-n-butyltin oxide, tetra-n-butylammonium bromide and benzyl bromide in a non-polar solvent such as benzene, toluene, chloroform, dichloromethane or dichloroethane for 1-10 hours under heating in accordance with ordinary methods of benzylation of hydroxyl group to obtain a compound represented by the formula [*IVb]: ##STR20## (wherein TAS and Bn are as defined above). Then, in accordance with ordinary acylation method, this compound is reacted with an acylating agent (e.g., benzoyl chloride and acetic anhydride) in the presence of a base such as pyridine or triethylamine, if necessary, under cooling to selectively acylate the hydroxyl groups at 2-position, 6-position and 6'-position to obtain a compound represented by the formula [*IVc]: ##STR21## (wherein R.sup.6, Bn and TAS are as defined above). Then, in accordance with conventional method, this compound is reduced using, for example, palladium-carbon as a catalyst and formic acid as a donor for hydrogen to obtain a compound represented by the formula [*IV] with elimination of only the benzyl group at 3'-position.
The compound represented by the formula [*IIa] which is a starting material for preparation of the compounds represented by the formulas [*II] and [*III] and the compound represented by the formula [*IVa] which is a starting material for preparing the compound represented by the formula [*IV] both can be easily obtained by the following method using the corresponding sugars or amino sugars which was found by the inventors (Japanese Patent Application No. 63-1707).
First, the corresponding sugar or amino sugar is acylated by conventional method using an acylating agent (e.g., acetic anhydride and acetyl chloride) and then a halogen group is introduced at 1-position using hydrogen bromide or the like by conventional method, followed by reacting with TASC.sub.2 H.sub.4 OH (wherein TAS is as defined above) in the presence of a condensing agent such as Hg(CN).sub.2 and HgBr.sub.2, Ag.sub.2 CO.sub.3 and AgClO.sub.4, Ag.sub.2 CO.sub.3 and I.sub.2, AgClO.sub.4 or Hg(CN).sub.2 to obtain the sugar derivative or an amino sugar derivative where the hydroxyl group at 1-position is protected with 2-(trialkylsilyl)ethyl group and the other hydroxyl groups are protected with the acyl group. The compound represented by the formula [*IIa] or [*IVa] can be easily obtained by subjecting the resulting sugar derivative or amino sugar derivative to elimination of the protecting acyl group by conventional methods, for example, treatment with sodium methylate in methanol.
The alkylthiosialic acid derivative represented by the formula [*I] used as a sugar donor for formation of glycoside can be easily prepared through the following route, for example, in accordance with the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Kokai No. 63-41494 and the thus obtained alkylthiosilalic acid derivative may be used. ##STR22## (wherein R and R.sup.1 are as defined above). ##STR23##
DMTST used in the reaction for formation of glycoside is prepared as required from dimethyl disulfide and methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in accordance with the method disclosed in J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. II, 1569-1572 (1982).
The azidosphingosine derivative represented by the formula [IV] and used in the process of the present invention can be easily obtained by synthesizing an azidosphingosine represented by the formula [IVa]: ##STR24## in accordance with the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Kokai No. 62-207247, protecting the primary hydroxyl group at 1-position thereof with a suitable protecting group such as dimethyl t-butylsilyl group, then acylating the hydroxyl group at 3-position with an acylating agent such as benzoyl chloride or acetic anhydride in accordance with conventional method and thereafter eliminating the hydroxyl group at 1-position, for example, with BF.sub.3 -ether.
