Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to new phosphorus-containing compounds which are useful in inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis by inhibiting de novo squalene production, to hypocholesterolemic and antiatherosclerotic compositions containing such compounds and to a method of using such compounds for inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis and atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Squalene synthetase is a microsomal enzyme which catalyzes the reductive dimerization of two molecules of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form) (NADPH) to form squalene (Poulter, C. D.; Rilling, H. C., in "Biosynthesis of Isoprenoid Compounds", Vol. I, Chapter 8, pp. 413-441, J. Wiley and Sons, 1981 and references therein). This enzyme is the first committed step of the de novo cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. The selective inhibition of this step should allow the essential pathways to isopentenyl tRNA, ubiquinone, and dolichol to proceed unimpeded. Squalene synthetase, along with HMG-CoA reductase has been shown to be down-regulated by receptor mediated LDL uptake (Faust, J.R.; Goldstein, J.L.; Brown, M.S. Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, 1979, 76, 5018-5022), lending credence to the proposal that inhibiting squalene synthetase will lead to an up-regulation of LDL receptor levels, as has been demonstrated for HMG-CoA reductase, and thus ultimately should be useful for the treatment and prevention of hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.
One approach to inhibitors of squalene synthetase is to design analogs of the substrate FPP. It is clear from the literature that the pyrophosphate moiety is essential for binding to the enzyme. However, such pyrophosphates are unsuitable as components of pharmacological agents due to their chemical and enzymatic lability towards allylic C-O cleavage, as well as their susceptibility to metabolism by phosphatases.
P. Ortiz de Montellano et al in J. Med. Chem., 1977, 20, 243-249 describe the preparation of a series of substituted terpenoid pyrophosphate (Table A), and have shown these to be competitive inhibitors of the squalene synthetase enzyme. These substances retain the unstable allylic pyrophosphate moiety of FPP.
Corey and Volante, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1976, 98, 1291-3, have prepared FPP analog A and presqualene pyrophosphate (PSQ-PP) analog B as inhibitors of squalene biosynthesis. (Presqualene pyrophosphate is an intermediate in the conversion of FPP to squalene). These inhibitors possess methylene groups in place of the allylic oxygen moiety of FPP and PSQ-PP, but still retain the chemically and enzymatically unstable pyrophosphate linkage. ##STR3##
Poulter and co-workers have prepared cyclopropane C (Sandifer, R.M., et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1982, 104, 7376-8) which in the presence of inorganic pyrophosphate is an intermediate analog inhibitor of the enzyme squalene synthetase. ##STR4##
Altman and co-workers, Bertolino, A., et al., Biochem. Biophys. Acta. 1978, 530, 17-23, reported that farnesyl amine and related derivatives D inhibit squalene synthetase, but provide evidence that this inhibition is non-specific and probably related to membrane disruption. ##STR5##
Poulter, C.D., et al, J. Org. Chem., 1986, 51, 4768, prepared compound E in a demonstration of a synthetic method, but did not report any biological data. ##STR6##
Poulter, C.D., Stremler, K.E., J.A.C.S., 7, 109, 5542 describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of compounds having structure F. These compounds were evaluated as alternative substrates for avian liver and lemon peel farnesyl diphosphate cyclase. ##STR7##
McClard, R. W. and Poulter, C. D., et al., J.A.C.S 1987, 109, 5544, reported that phosphinylphosphonates G and H were competitive inhibitors of the 1'-4-condensation between isopentenyl diphosphate and geranyl diphosphate catalyzed by avian liver farnesyl diphosphate synthetase. Phosphinylphosphonates G and H had Ki's of 19 .mu.M and 71 .mu.M, respectively. They also reported the speculative isolution of the farnesyl phosphinylphosphonate I, and the geranyl phosphinylphosphonate J from the enzymatic reaction of G with geranyl pyrophosphate or dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, respectively. The structures of I and J were tentatively assigned based on relative TLC mobilities. They hypothesized that I could be a potential inhibitor of squalene synthetase. ##STR8##
Capson, T.L., PhD dissertation, June 1987, Dept. of Medicinal Chemistry, the University of Utah, Abstract, Table of Contents, pp. 16, 17, 40-43, 48-51, Summary, and T.L. Capson, C.D. Poulter et al, J. Org. Chem., 1988, 53, 5903-5908 disclose cyclopropanes of the structure K ##STR9## as intermediate analog inhibitors of squalene synthetase.
Biller and coworkers, "Isoprenoid (Phosphinylmethyl)phosphonates as Inhibitors of Squalene Synthetase," J. Med. Chem., 1988, 31, 1869, synthesized analogues of FPP, 2a-d and 3a,b, where the allylic and anhydride oxygen atoms are replaced with carbon. The PMP subunit thereby serves as a stable surrogate for the diphosphate. They demonstrate that isoprenoid (phosphinylmethyl)-phosphonates (PMPs) are effective inhibitors of squalene synthetase, binding to the enzyme with affinity comparable to FPP itself. ##STR10##

Rat liver microsomal squalene synthetase activity is measured using farnesyl diphosphate as substrate and quantitating squalene synthesis using gas chromatographic analysis. The assay was developed by modifying conditions originally described by Agnew (Methods in Enzymology 110:357, 1985).
Preparation of Rat Liver Microsomes
Livers are dissected from 2 or 3 decapitated Sprague Dawley rats and are quickly transferred to ice cold buffer (potassium phosphate, 0.05 M, (pH 7.4); MgC.sub.12, 0.004 M; EDTA, 0.001 M; and 2-mercaptoethanol 0.01 M) and rinsed thoroughly. The livers are minced in cold buffer (2.0 ml/g) and homogenized using a Potter-Elvejhem homogenizer. The homogenate is centrifuged at 5,000 x g, 10 minutes (4.degree. C.), and the supernatant poured through 2 layers of cheese cloth. The supernatant is then centrifuged at 15,000 x g for 15 minutes (4.degree. ). Again the supernatant is filtered through 2 layers of cheese cloth, and centrifuged a third time at 100,000.times.g for 1.0 hour at 4.degree. C. Following centrifugation the microsomal pellet is resuspended in a volume of buffer equivalent to 1/5 the volume of the original homogenate, and homogenized in a ground glass homogenizer. Aliquotted microsomes are frozen at -80.degree. C., and retain activity for at least two months.
Enzyme Assay
Reaction, Mixtures are prepared in 50 ml round bottom pyrex glass tubes with tight-fitting, teflon-lined, screw caps. Tubes are cooled to 4.degree. C., and the following components are added in sequence:
This mixture is equilibrated under N.sub.2 at 4.degree. C. for 5-15 minutes. Reaction mixtures are then warmed to 30.degree. C., and the enzyme reaction initiated by adding 0.2 ml of farnesyl pyrophosphate (219 .mu.M) prepared in H.sub.2 O. Each tube is again overlayered with N.sub.2, and incubated at 30.degree. C. for 60 minutes. The reaction is stopped by the addition of 1.0 ml KOH (40%). Ethanol (95%) (spectral grade) (1.0 ml) is added to each tube. Docosane (5 nmoles in hexane) is added to each tube as an internal standard. The mixture is saponified at 65.degree. C. for 30 minutes. The tubes are cooled to room temperature and extracted twice with 10.0 ml spectral grade hexane.
The upper organic phase fractions are pooled in glass 20.0 ml scintillation vials and reduced in volume to .about.1.0 ml under a stream of N.sub.2. The sample is then transferred to acid-washed, conical bottom, glass (1.0 ml) microvials, and brought to dryness under N.sub.2 The residue is resuspended in 50 .mu.l hexane (spectral grade), and these samples are spun at 1000 rpm at room temperature for 10 minutes. Following centrifugation approximately 40 .mu.l of supernatant is transferred to 100 .mu.l acid-washed microvials with septa/crimp-top caps (compatible with the Hewlett-Packard GC auto injector).
GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY
Two .mu.L of each sample is injected onto a fused silica megabore DB-17 column (15 M.times.0.525 mm) (J&W Scientific) using a splitless mode of injection. Gas flow rates are listed below:
The injector temperature is 200.degree. C., and the FID detector temperature is set at 270.degree. C. Oven temperature is programmed through a two ramp sequence as follows:
OVEN
Initial temperature 180.degree. C., initial time 10 minutes
Ramp one: 20.degree. C./minute
Second temperature 250.degree. C., second time 10 minutes
Ramp two: 20.degree. C./minute
Third temperature 260.degree. C., third time 10 minutes
(Equilibration time 1.0 minute)
Using this gas chromatographic system, docosane (internal standard) has a retention time of 3.6-3.7 minutes, and squalene has a retention time of 14.7-14.9 minutes. The amount of squalene in each reaction mixture is determined by obtaining the areas under the squalene and docosane peaks and using the following formula to calculate the amount of squalene (nmoles) in the total reaction mixture. ##EQU1##

The following Examples represent preferred embodiments of the present invention.
INTRODUCTION TO EXPERIMENTAL
All temperatures are reported in degrees Centigrade.
.sup.1 H and .sup.13 C chemical shifts are reported as .delta.-values with respect to Me.sub.4 Si (.delta.=0). .sup.31 P spectra were measured on a JEOL FX90Q FT-NMR spectrometer, at 36.2 MHz, utilizing the .sup.1 H decoupled mode. The .sup.31 P data were obtained using 85% H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 as an external reference (.delta.=0). Coupling constants J are reported in Hz. Chemical ionization mass spectra (CI-MS) were determined with a Finnigan TSQ-4600 instrument equipped with a direct exposure probe using the indicated reagent gases. Fast atom bombardment mass spectra (FAB-MS) were recorded on a VG Analytical ZAB-2F spectrometer. Ions were sputtered (8keV Xe) from a matrix containing dithiothreitol, dithioerythritol, DMSO, glycerol and water.
All reactions were carried out under an atmosphere of dry argon or nitrogen. The following reagents and solvents were distilled prior to use from the indicated drying agents, where applicable: CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, 2,4,6-collidine, and diisopropylamine (CaH.sub.2); THF and diethyl ether (K, benzophenone); N,N-diethyltrimethylsilylamine and oxalyl chloride. Benzene was passed through neutral alumina (activity I) and stored over 4A-molecular sieves. Lithium bromide was dried at 100.degree. C. over P.sub.2 O.sub.5.(E,E)-Farnesol was purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company.
TLC was performed on E. Merck Silica Gel 60 F-254 plates (0.25 mm) or E. Merck Cellulose F plates (0.1 mm). Flash chromatography was carried out using E. Merck Kieselgel 60 (230-400 mesh).
Reverse-phase chromatographic purification of PMP salts was carried on CHP20P gel (75-150 .mu.), a highly porous, polystyrene-divinyl benzene copolymer available from Mitsubishi Chemical Industries. The indicated general procedure was followed: An FMI Model RP-SY pump was utilized for solvent delivery. A column of CHP20P (2.5 cm diameter, 12-22 cm height) was slurry packed and washed with water (500-1000 mL), and a basic, aqueous solution of the crude salt was applied to the top of the column. Typically, the column was eluted with water, followed by a gradient composed of increasing concentrations of acetonitrile or methanol in water. The gradient was created by placing the tip of a tightly stoppered separatory funnel containing 300-500 mL of the organic solvent, or an aqueous-organic mixture, just beneath the surface of a reservoir containing 300-500 mL of pure water. To start the gradient, the stopcock of the separatory funnel was opened, so that as the solvent was withdrawn by the pump from the reservoir, it was replaced with the solvent from the separatory funnel. HPLC-grade solvents and Lectrostill steam distilled water were employed. Fractions were collected (10-15 mL each) at a flow rate of 5-10 mL per minute. Those fractions that contained pure product as judged by TLC were pooled, the organic solvents were evaporated and the aqueous residue was lyophilized to dryness.

To a stirred solution of 581 mg (1.06 mmol) of Part F compound in 5 ml of dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 at 0.degree. C. under argon was added 0.42 ml (3.18 mmol) of 2,4,6-collidine followed by 0.90 ml (6.34 mmol) of iodotrimethylsilane (TMSI). After 2.5 hours at .degree. C., the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 4.5 hours. Additional portions of 2,4,6-collidine (0.14 ml, 1.06 mmol) and TMSI (0.30 ml, 2.12 mmol) were added at this point, and again after another 16 hours at room temperature. Seven hours after the final addition of reagents, 5 ml of dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 was added, and the reaction was allowed to stir for 18 hours. The solvent was evaporated, the dark residue was dissolved in 10 ml of CH.sub.3 OH, and after 15 minutes, was treated with 10 ml of 1 M NaOH and 20 ml of water. A precipitate formed, and the reaction was stirred for four hours, at which the mixture was homogeneous. The CH.sub.3 OH was evaporated and the aqueous solution was allowed to stir for an additional three hours and then lyophilized to provide a green residue. The crude product was chromatographed on CHP20P, eluting with water (fractions 1-15) followed by a gradient created by the gradual addition of 3:1 acetonitrile:water to a 500 ml reservoir of water, collecting 8-10ml fractions. Fractions 48-53 (Cut A, 150 mg) contained relatively pure material, whereas fractions 54-58 (Cut B, 273 mg) were contaminated with a UV absorbing material tentatively assigned to be the 1-methyl-2,4,6-collidinium cation. Cut B was dissolved in water, adjusted to pH 2, and passed through a column of AG 50W-X8 resin (Na+form, 30 ml resin bed), eluting with water, to remove the contaminating cation. Fractions containing the desired product were lyophilized and combined with Cut A from above. An aqueous solution of this material was made basic with 1 M NaOH and was purified by MPLC on a 20 cm height, 2.5 cm diameter column of CHP20P, eluted with water (fractions 1-7) followed by gradient created by the gradual addition of 7:3 acetonitrile:water to a 500 ml reservoir of water, collecting 6-8 ml fractions.

Tris (tetra-n-butylammonium)methylene bisphosphonate (prepared as described in Example 113) (1.76 mmol, 1.58 g) was stirred under argon at room temperature in 1.76 ml of dry CH.sub.3 CN and treated dropwise (quickly) with a solution of the Part D tosylate (0.838 mmol, 0.339 g) in 1.67 ml of dry CH.sub.3 CN. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The CH.sub.3 CN was removed in vacuo and the dark golden residue was dissolved in 3 ml of distilled H.sub.2 O and eluted through an ion exchange column (AG 50W-X8, 100-200 mesh, 45 ml/76.5 meq of resin in a 20 mm diameter column). The column was eluted with 1:49 i-C.sub.3 H.sub.7 OH/H.sub.2 O, and product fractions combined and lyophilized to provide 0.910 g of a yellow powdery solid. The lyophilate was again eluted through an ion exchange column as above (60 ml, 102 meq of resin). Lyophilization of product fractions afforded 0.812 g of a yellow solid (no change in TLC). The desired pure product was obtained by dissolving the lyophilate in 3 ml of distilled H.sub.2 O and eluting through an CHP20P chromatography column (2.5 cm.times.15 cm of resin). Elution with 250 ml of H.sub.2 O, followed by an acetonitrile/H.sub.2 O gradient, collecting 10 ml fractions every 1.4 minutes afforded (after lyophilization and drying under high vacuum over P.sub.2 O.sub.5), 0.274 g (0.524 mmol), 63% yield of title product in the form of a white lyophilate.
