Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to novel derivatives having a cyclo-tetradepsipeptide skeletal structure in common to PF 1022, which is a cyclodepsipeptide and has anthelmintic activities, and having excellent anthelmintic activities; and also to anthelmintic agent containing the derivatives. The novel PF 1022 derivatives according to the present invention show excellent anthelmintic activities against worms parasitic on animals and therefore are useful as anthelmintic agent.
BACKGROUND ART
The PF 1022 substance is a cyclodepsipeptide which was found as a result of a study on anthelmintic compounds against fowl roundworms see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (Kokai) No. HEI 3-35796, European Patent Application Publication No. 0382173A2 and "J. Antibiotics", 45, 692(1992)!. In addition, the PF 1022 substance is a fermentation product, which is produced by the culture of a filamentous fungus PF1022 strain (deposited under FERM BP-2671 with National Institute of Bioscience and Human-Technology Agency in Tsukuba-shi under the provisions of the Budapest Treaty) belonging to Agonomycetales and is a cyclodepsipeptide represented by the following formula (A): ##STR2##
The PF 1022 substance is a depsipeptide which is formed of L-N-methylleucine (CH.sub.3).sub.2 --CH--CH.sub.2 --CH(NH--CH.sub.3)COOH!, D-lactic acid CH.sub.3 --CH(OH)COOH! and D-phenyllactic acid C.sub.6 H.sub.5 --CH.sub.2 --CH(OH)COOH! via ester-bonds and amido-bonds and which can also be represented by the following formula (A'):
wherein MeLeu is an N-methylleucine residue represented by the following formula: ##STR3## Lac is a lactic acid residue represented by the following formula: ##STR4## and PhLac is a phenyllactic acid residue represented by the following formula: ##STR5##
By the culture of the above filamentous fungus PF 1022 strain, the PF 1022B substance of the following formula (B), the PF1022C substance of the formula (C), the PF 1022D substance of the formula (D) and the PF 1022E substance of the formula (E) are produced in addition to the above PF 1022 substance. They have anthelmintic activities and were isolated by the present inventors see Japanese Patent Application No. HEI 3-163085, now Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (Kokai) No. HEI 5-170749; but concerning PF 1022E, Japanese Patent Application No. HEI 4-279094 (filed Oct. 19, 1992 but not yet laid open)!. ##STR6##
Incidentally, the PF 1022E substance is a novel compound which has not been reported yet.
The above-described PF 1022 substance and PF 1022B to E substances all possess anthelmintic activities and have a marked structural characteristic in that they have a large cyclo-tetradepsipeptide structure as a basic skeleton, and that they have, as side chains, not only four N-methyl groups and four isobutyl groups but also 0-3 methyl group(s) and 1-4 benzyl group(s) and contain eight asymmetric carbon atoms in their molecules. In the skeletal cyclodepsipeptide structure of the group of these PF 1022 substances, a 24-membered ring is formed via 4 ester bonds and 4 amide-bonds. This structure can be presumed to play an important role on the development of biological activities.
So-called helmintic infections cause serious damage to the human and animal health and also to agriculture. There is a steady demand toward novel and useful substances having anthelmintic activities and also advantageous preparation processes for such anthelmintically active substances. Paying attention to such a demand, the present inventors studied with a view toward preparing and providing novel substances related to the PF 1022 substance.
The PF 1022 substance is a fermentation product of the above-described filamentous fungus. Makoto Ohyama et al. proposed, as a process of preparing the PF 1022 substance by total synthesis, a process which comprises the steps shown in the following reaction route map (A) see Japanese Patent Application No. HEI 4-131139 (filed: May 22, 1992) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. HEI 5-320148 (laid open: Dec. 31 1993)!. ##STR7##
Incidentally, as one example of hitherto known totally synthetic processes for preparation of cyclodepsipeptides, the process reported in "Agric. Biol. Chem." 43(5), 1079-1083(1979), which is related to total synthesis of enniatin C, can be given.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
With a view to providing novel cyclodepsipeptides which have a cyclo-tetradepsipeptide skeletal structure in common to the PF 1022 substance but exhibit anthelmintic activities superior to the PF 1022 substance, the present inventors have conducted a variety of research. As a result, it has been found that a series of novel derivatives or related products of the PF 1022 substance can each be synthesized either by hydrogenating, in the presence of a rhodium catalyst under mild reaction conditions, one or more phenyl groups in the plural benzyl groups of the PF 1022 substance or the PF 1022B substance or the PF 1022E substance so as to form cyclohexyl group(s), or by chemically modifying the phenyl groups through substitution reaction. It has also been found that a series of novel derivatives of the PF 1022 substance can each be prepared in accordance with total synthesis procedures by using L-N-methylleucine (L-MeLeu) or L-leucine in combination with an .alpha.-hydroxycarboxylic acid, particularly a D- or L-lactic acid derivative, which may contain a substituent on its .beta.-carbon atom, and then condensing the carboxyl group of the leucine compound with the .alpha.-hydroxyl group of the lactic acid compound through an ester bond, condensing the carboxyl group of the resultant esterified product with the amino group of the leucine compound through an amide bond, continuing further condensation of the condensation product as needed, thereby to synthesize a chain-like tetradepsipeptide, followed by cyclizing the tetradepsipeptide.

Processes of preparing the PF1022 derivative of the general formula (I) according to the present invention will hereinafter be described.
(a) Preparation of the PF1022 substance or PF1022B substance by hydrogenation
Among the derivatives of the general formula (I) according to the present invention, hydrogenated derivatives or hydro-derivatives of the general formula (I-i-a) or (I-i-b) can each be synthesized by using, as a starting material, the PF1022 substance or PF1022B substance as prepared by a fermentative method.
Chemical modification, particularly hydrogenation, of a benzene ring such as a phenyl group is generally regarded to be more difficult than the other reactions such as nitration or acylation which is the reaction by an electrophilic substitution. In general, hydrogenation made at high temperature and under high pressure is widely made to reduce a phenyl group into a cyclohexyl group. The PF1022 substance has a complex chemical structure as occurred naturally. It is presumed that if the PF 1022 substance is subjected to hydrogenation under conventional conditions at high temperature and under high pressure, decomposition reaction can also be involved by hydrogenolysis. Procedures of hydrogenation under milder reaction conditions, that is, hydrogenation made at normal temperature under normal pressure are desirable for effecting the reduction of the phenyl groups in the PF 1022 substance. From such a viewpoint, the present inventors have proceeded with an investigation on the usability of various reducing catalysts. As a result, it has been found that a rhodium catalyst is most suitable for the hydrogenation of the phenyl groups in the side-chain benzyl groups of the PF1022 substance to form cyclohexyl groups.
Examples of reducing catalysts, which are usable in the process for preparing the invention derivative of the general formula (I-i-a) or (I-i-b) from the PF1022 substance by hydrogenation, include rhodium, and rhodium-carrier catalysts such as rhodium-carbon and rhodium-alumina, and cationic rhodium complexes such as tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium. In practice, a rhodium-carbon catalyst is preferred. This hydrogenation process is able to minimize the hydrogen pressure and the extent of heating upon the catalytic reduction, but elevated pressure and heating to some extents are allow able so that the reaction time can be shortened and production of by-products can be suppressed. For a smooth progress of the reaction, it is desired to dissolve the starting materials in an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol or ethyl acetate and then to conduct the reaction while stirring the resultant solution.
Isolation of the target product (I-i-a) or (I-i-b) after the reaction can be conducted by a well-known method, for example, filtration, column chromatography or a fractional crystallization method using an inert solvent.
(b) Preparation by a totally synthetic process
Derivatives of the general formula (I) according to the present invention can be prepared by a totally synthetic process, that is, by providing the following compounds (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) and then condensing them successively in proper combinations through an ester-bond or an amide-bond.
The starting materials to be employed are as follows:
Compound (1): N-methyl-L-leucine (structural formula: (CH.sub.3).sub.2 --CH--CH.sub.2 --CH(NH--CH.sub.3)COOH, abbreviation: H-L-MeLeu-OH)
Compound (2): L-leucine (structural formula: (CH.sub.3).sub.2 --CH--CH.sub.2 --CH(NH.sub.2)COOH, abbreviation: H-L-Leu-OH)

In the above formulas, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the same meanings as R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 defined in connection with the general formula (I) given hereinbefore.
In the first step of the totally synthetic process, the carboxyl group of Compound (1) or (2) is reacted with the .alpha.-hydroxyl group of Compound (3), (4), (5) or (6). The following four Compounds (7)-(10) each having an amino group at one end thereof and a carboxyl group at the other end thereof can therefore be prepared as primary condensates containing the ester-linkage.
Compound (7): H-L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.1 -OH
Compound (8): H-L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.2 -OH
Compound (9): H-L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.3 -OH
Compound (10): H-L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.4 -OH
In the second and subsequent steps of the totally synthetic process, two of Compounds (7)-(10) are condensed with each other in proper combinations via an amide-bond, whereby Compound (11), Compound (12), Compound (13) and Compound (14) are synthetically prepared in the order as shown schematically in the below-described reaction route map B or C, or Compound (15) is synthetically obtained in the orders schematically shown in the hereinafter given reaction route map D. By cyclizing, via an amide-bond, chain-like Compound (13) or Compound (15) which has an amino group at one end thereof and a carboxyl group at the other end thereof, a cyclic PF1022 derivative of the general formula (I) can be prepared.
Compound (11): H-L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.1 -L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.2 -OH
Compound (12): H-L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.1 -L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.2 -L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.3 -OH
Compound (13): H-L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.1 -L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.2 -L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.3 -L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.4 -OH
Compound (14): H-L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.3 -L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.4 -OH
Compound (15): H-(L-MeLeu(or Leu)-D-A.sup.1 -L-MeLeu (or Leu)-D-A.sup.2)-OH ##STR22##
For instance, when lactic acid is employed as each of Compounds (3), (4), (5) and (6), such a derivative of the general formula (I), where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 individually represent methyl group, can be obtained. When 2-hydroxyisovaleric acid is used as each of Compounds (3), (4), (5) and (6), such a derivative of the general formula (I), where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 individually represent an isopropyl group, can be obtained. When 2-hydroxyhexanoic acid is employed as each of Compounds (3), (4), (5) and (6), such a derivative of the formula (I), where R.sup.1, R.sup.2) R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 individually represent a n-butyl group, can be obtained. When 2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid is employed as each of Compounds (3), (4), (5) and (6), such a derivative of the formula (I) wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 individually represent a secondary butyl group can be obtained. When 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-n-valeric acid is employed as each of Compounds (3), (4), (5) and (6), such a derivative of the formula (I) wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 individually represent an isobutyl group can be obtained. For example, when 2-hydroxyoctanoic acid is used as Compound (4), such a derivative of the formula (I) wherein R.sup.2 represents n-C.sub.6 H.sub.13 can be obtained. When phenyllactic acid and p-hydroxyphenyllactic acid are employed as Compounds (4) and (6), respectively, such a derivative of the formula (I) wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 represent benzyl and p-hydroxybenzyl groups, respectively, can be obtained.
In general, the a-hydroxycarboxylic acid which is Compound (4), (5) or (6) can be prepared by reacting a corresponding .alpha.-amino acid with sodium nitrite to convert its amino group into a diazo group (--N.sub.2), and then converting the diazo group to a hydroxyl group by acid treatment.
When the groups R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 of the PF1022 derivative having the general formula (I) are the same while the groups R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 are the same, that is to say, when the R.sup.1 of the starting Compound (3) and the R.sup.3 of Compound (5) are the same while the R.sup.2 of the starting Compound (4) and the R.sup.4 of Compound (6) are the same, it is only necessary to provide Compounds (3) and (4) as the starting .alpha.-hydroxycarboxylic acid for the preparation of such a PF1022 derivative in accordance with the totally synthetic process. Such target PF1022 derivative (I) (wherein R.sup.1 .dbd.R.sup.3, and also R.sup.2 .dbd.R.sup.4) can be prepared by using Leucine compound (1) or (2) in combination with Compound (3) or Compound (4), condensing them by esterification, preparing each of intermediates (7) and (8) with forming the amide-bond, producing the chain-like Compound (15) via Compounds (11), and then cyclizing Compound (15), in accordance with the order as illustrated in the below-described reaction route map D. ##STR23##
In the PF1022 derivative of the general formula (I) and also in the .alpha.-hydroxycarboxylic acid compounds (3)-(6) as the starting materials, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 can each be a C.sub.1 -C.sub.11 alkyl group. Specific examples of such an alkyl group include methyl, ethyl, propyl, (specifically, n-propyl, iso-propyl), butyl (specifically, n-methyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl), pentyl (specifically, n-pentyl, iso-pentyl, sec-pentyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, neo-pentyl, 1-ethylpropyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl), hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl and decyl groups. Preferred are lower (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl groups.
When, in the compound of the general formula (1) or in Compound (3), (4), (5) or (6), R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 each represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or benzyl group, on the other hand, specific examples of such a group include phenyl; o-, m- and p-hydroxyphenyl; o-, m- and p-(C.sub.1-10)alkylphenyl; o-, m- and p-(C.sub.1-10)alkoxyphenyl; o-, m-, and p-halogeno(F, Cl, Br, I)phenyl. Other examples include benzyl; o-, m- and p-hydroxybenzyl; o-, m- and p-(C.sub.1-10)alkylbenzyl; o-, m- and p-(C.sub.1-10)alkoxybenzyl; and o-, m-, and p-halogeno(F, Cl, Br, I)benzyl. The number of the substituents on the phenyl nucleus of the benzyl group can be 1-4.
The process for preparation of the PF1022 derivative represented by the general formula (I) in accordance with the totally synthetic process will hereinafter be described with the above-described reaction route map (B) or (C). In brief, in the first step, Compounds (7), (8), (9) and (10) are prepared by condensing Compound (1) or (2) with Compound (3); Compound (1) or (2) with Compound (4); Compound (1) or (2) with Compound (5); and Compound (1) or (2) with Compound (6) via an ester-bond, respectively.
At this time, the amino-protected leucine compound (1) or (2),and .alpha.-carboxyl-protected Compounds (3), (4), (5) and (6), that is, .alpha.-carboxyl-protected .alpha.-hydroxycarboxylic acids are employed. As a condensation method using the ester-bond, it is desired to conduct the condensation with employing Compounds (3)-(6), each of which has its .alpha.-hydroxyl group in the free form, in the presence of a condensation agent. When the carboxyl-protected Compound (3), (4), (5) or (6) is the D-isomer, its condensation is conducted in the presence of both DCC and an additive (a reagent, such as N-hydroxysuccinic acid imide, N-hydroxybenzotriazole or the like, which does not cause racemization in an ordinary peptide-forming reaction). When the carboxyl-protected Compound (3), (4), (5) or (6) is the L-isomer, on the other hand, condensation is conducted while inverting the conformation of the .alpha.-hydroxyl group of Compound (3), (4), (5) or (6). The condensation method by the Cohen's reaction is desired because it does not cause racemization.
Furthermore, the amino-protected leucine compound (1) or (2) can be condensed, through an ester-bond, with a reactive derivative at the .alpha.-OH group of the carboxyl-protected Compound (3), (4), (5) and (6). In this method, when the .alpha.-carboxyl-protected compound (3), (4), (5) or (6) is the D-isomer, it is desired that the compound has been made reactive by substituting the .alpha.-hydroxyl group by a chlorine atom, a bromine atom or the like. When the compound is the L-isomer, it is desired that the .alpha.-hydroxyl group has been converted into a sulfonate ester such as tosylate, methanesulfonate or the like.
According to the above condensation method, there is prepared the ester-type compound (7), (8), (9) or (10) in which the carboxyl and amino groups are both protected. One of the protecting groups introduced in Compound (1) or (2) and Compounds (3)-(6), which are starting compounds employed for the preparation of the above compounds (7)-(10), should be preferentially removable.
Examples of such a carboxyl-protecting group include those removable under acid hydrolytic or reducing conditions, such as t-butyl, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, benzhydryl and trityl groups; and those removable under neutral conditions such as an allyl group.
Examples of the amino-protecting group include those removable under acid hydrolytic or reducing conditions such as benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl, p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl and formyl groups; and those removable under neutral conditions and commonly used in peptide chemistry, such as an aryloxycarbonyl group.
It is necessary to remove the carboxyl-protecting group and the amino-protecting group preferentially and independently from each of the protected ester-type compounds (7), (8), (9) and (10) so obtained. When the carboxyl-protecting group is removable under reducing conditions, it is necessary to select as the amino-protecting group an amino-protecting group removable under acid hydrolytic conditions. The converse case is also feasible. When the amino-protecting group is removable under neutral conditions, for example, an aryloxycarbonyl group, it is necessary to select as the carboxyl-protecting group a carboxyl-protecting group removable under acid hydrolytic conditions. The converse case is also feasible.
With regard to a method for removal of the carboxyl-protecting group or amino-protecting group, when the protecting group is removable under acid hydrolytic conditions, it is treated with trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid or the like. Treatment with trifluoroacetic acid is most preferred. When it is removable under reducing conditions, treatment under catalytic reduction conditions using a palladium catalyst is desired. When the protecting group is removable under neutral conditions, for example, an aryl group, aryloxycarbonyl group or the like, it may be reacted with potassium 2-ethylhexanoate in the presence of zero-valence palladium catalyst for the deprotection.
In the next step, Compound (11) is prepared, as shown in the reaction route map B, by condensing, the deprotected Compound (7) with the deprotected Compound (8) through an amide-bond. As described above, it is possible to form an amide bond between the amino group of Compound (7) and the carboxyl group of Compound (8) or between the amino group of Compound (8) and the carboxyl group of Compound (7) when the condensation is done between Compounds (7) and (8). Compound (11) obtained by the condensation of Compounds (7) and (8) is condensed further with Compound (9). Here it is possible to form an amide-bond between the amino group of Compound (11) and the carboxyl group of Compound (9) or between the amino group of Compound (9) and the carboxyl group of Compound (11). Compound (12) obtained by the condensation of Compounds (11) and (9) is then condensed with Compound (10). In this condensation step, it is possible to form an amide-bond between the amino group of Compound (12) and the carboxyl group of Compound (10) or between the amino group of Compound (10) and the carboxyl group of Compound (12). As a result, Compound (13) can be prepared.
In the above respective condensation steps, the removal and fresh introduction of a protecting group are conducted appropriately as needed to obtain a desired amide-bond.
As described in the reaction route map C, Compound (9) can also be condensed with Compound (10). In this case, it is possible to form an amide-bond between the amino group of Compound (9) and the carboxyl group of Compound (10) or between the amino group of Compound (10) and the carboxyl group of Compound (9). Compound (11), which has been obtained by the condensation of Compounds (7) and (8), can be condensed with Compound (14), which has been obtained by the condensation of Compound (9) and Compound (10). In this case, it is possible to form an amide-bond between the amino group of Compound (11) and the carboxyl group of Compound (14) or between the amino group of Compound (14) and the carboxyl group of Compound (11). As described in the reaction route map D, Compound (15) can be prepared by bonding two molecules of Compound (11) together through an amide-bond.
By the intramolecular ring closure of Compound (13) or Compound (15) so obtained, a derivative of the general formula (I) can be prepared. This ring closure is effected by treating Compound (13) or Compound (15) using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (EDCI) and an additive N-hydroxysuccinic acid imide (HOSU), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), or the like! in combination.
Examples of solvents usable in the above ring-closure reaction include ether-solvents such as ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 1,4-dioxane, and aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetonitrile and chloroform. Preferred is a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran and N,N-dimethylformamide. The ring-closure reaction can be carried out at 0.degree.-50.degree. C., preferably 20.degree.-30.degree. C.
The totally synthetic process as described above is suited for the preparation of the derivatives of the formulae (I-ii), (I-iii), (I-iv) and (I-v) among the derivatives of the general formula (I) according to the present invention. (c) Preparation by introduction of substituent(s) into the PF1022 or PF1022E substance
Among the novel derivatives of the general formula (I), the derivatives of the formulas (I-vi-a) and (I-vi-b) can be prepared by introducing, in accordance with known chemical methods, various substituents for the hydrogen(s) on the benzene ring (phenyl group) of the benzyl group, that is, a side chain of the PF1022 substance or in the phenolic hydroxyl group on the p-hydroxyphenylmethyl group (namely, benzyl group), that is, a side chain of the PF1022 E substance refer to Japanese Patent Application HEI 4-279094 (not yet laid open), and the synthetic Example which will be described subsequently in Example 6)!.
Examples of the substituents, which may be introduced in the benzene ring, namely, the phenyl nucleus of the benzyl group of the PF1022 substance or in the phenolic hydroxyl group on the benzyl group of the PF1022E substance, include linear or branched alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, alkynyl groups, substituted or unsubstituted benzyl groups, diphenylmethyl group, triphenylmethyl group and acyl groups. Particularly preferred are alkanoyl, carbamoyl, methoxymethyl, methylthiomethyl and tetrahydropyranyl groups. Examples of the substituent(s) replaceable for the hydrogen(s) on the benzene ring include halogen atoms, as well as such substituents as replaceable for the hydrogen(s) on an aromatic ring by ordinary electrophilic substitution.
The above substituent-introducing reaction can be performed in an inert solvent by etherification, acylation, carbamoylation or the like. The etherification can be conducted by a reaction with diazomethane or diphenyldiazomethane, a reaction with isobutene or dihydropyrane in the presence of an acid catalyst, or a reaction with an alkyl halide, an alkenyl halide, an alkynyl halide, a benzyl halide, a substituted benzyl halide, or a triphenylmethyl chloride (namely, trityl chloride). While, the acylation can be conducted by a reaction with an acyl halide or alkyl chlorocarbonate in the presence of an organic base such as triethylamine or an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate. Most of the well-known reactions for the modification of a phenolic hydroxyl group can be applied to as such. To the phenolic hydroxyl group at the para position which is active to the electrophilic substituting reaction, the halogenation or other well-known electrophilic substitutions can also be applied.
Derivatives of the general formula (I) according to the present invention, namely, derivatives of the formulae (I-i-a), (I-i-b), (I-ii), (I-iii), (I-iv), (I-v), (I-vi-a) and (I-vi-b) all have useful anthelmintic activities and show a low acute toxicity to mammarian animals.
The novel PF1022 derivatives according to the present invention can be converted to their acid addition salts by reacting them with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable organic acid such as acetic acid, propionic acid, citric acid or methanesulfonic acid. In addition, the PF1022 derivatives of the present invention or their salts can be formulated into anthelmintic compositions by mixing them with a pharmaceutically acceptable, solid or liquid carrier.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, therefore, there is provided an anthelmintic composition characterized in that the composition comprises a novel cyclodepsipeptide represented by the general formula (1) or its salt as an active ingredient.
The novel derivative of the general formula (I) according to the present invention or the composition containing the derivative can be administered to animals orally or parenterally, for example, rectally. Through a proper preliminary test, the dose of the derivative can be determined depending on the kind of a parasite to be eliminated, the kind of a host animal to be treated and various other factors. As a general guideline, when orally administered, for example, for the elimination of fowl roundworms, oral administration of the compound of the formula (I) at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg or greater, preferably 0.2 mg to 3 mg/kg is recognized to exhibit the anthelmintic action against parasites.
The compound of the general formula (I) of the present invention can be formulated into an anthelmintic composition just in the same manner as for the PF1022 substance, which is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. HEI 3-35796 or European Patent Application Publication No. 0382173 A2.
Examples of the animal to which the PF1022 derivative of the formula (I) of this invention can be applied as an anthelmintic may include domestic animals, poultry, experimental animals and pets, such as swine, cattle, horses, rabbits, sheep, goats, domestic fowls, ducks, turkeys, mice, white rats, guinea pigs, monkeys, dogs, cats and small birds. Illustrative parasites on these animals include parasites on cattle and sheep such as twisted stomachworms, stomachworms belonging to the genus Ostertagia, small hairworms, nematodes belonging to the genus Cooperia, nodularworms belonging to the genus Oesophagostomum, amphisomes, intestinal tapeworms (Moniezia benedeni), lung worms and liver flukes; parasites on swine such as roundworms, whipworms and nodularworms; parasites on dogs such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and heart worms; parasites on cats such as roundworms and Spirometra mansoni; and parasites of chickens such as roundworms, hairworms and cecal worms. The compound of the present invention is also effective for the elimination of parasites on human bodies such as roundworms, pinworms, hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale, Ancylostoma ceylanicum, Necator americanus), oriental hairworms, strongyloides worms and whipworms.
The novel PF1022 derivative according to the present invention can be used for the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections. For the treatment, the derivative may be administered orally or parenterally. Upon oral administration, a liquid preparation of the derivative may be forcedly administered using a stomach catheter or the like, or administered after mixing it with daily feed or drinking water, or administered in an ordinary dosage form suitable for oral administration, such as tablets, capsules, pellets, boluses, powders or soft capsules. Upon parenteral administration, it may be administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally or through a similar route by injecting the derivative of the formula (I) prepared in the form of a water-insoluble preparation in peanut oil, soybean oil or the like or in the form of a water-soluble preparation in glycerol, polyethylene glycol, etc.
For the prevention of parasitic infections, it is a common practice to administer the PF1022 derivative orally as a a mixture of it with daily feed. Although no limitation is imposed on the administration period in the case of preventive purposes, it is, in most cases, sufficient to administer it for about 2 months in the case of broiler chickens and for about 5 months in the case of swine.
The dose of the PF1022 derivative according to the present invention may vary depending on the kind of the animal to be treated, the kind of the parasite and the method of administration. For instance, when fowl roundworms are to be eliminated by oral administration of a liquid preparation using a stomach catheter, it can be administered at 0.05 mg/kg or more. For the preventive purposes, the derivative can be mixed with feed at a concentration of 1 ppm or higher, preferably 5 to 10 ppm and administered continuously.
Furthermore, a solution or suspension of the PF1022 derivative of the present invention in a liquid carrier can be administered to animals by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, etc., For parenteral administration, non-aqueous formulations using a vegetable oil such as peanut oil or soybean oil are employed. Aqueous parenteral formulations which contain a water-soluble carrier such as glycerol or polyethylene glycol can also be employed for parenteral administration. These formulations generally contain the compound of the present invention in an amount of 0.1 to 10 wt. %. Even when the PF1022 derivative of the present invention is orally administered to mice at the dose of 300 mg/kg, normal body-weight gains are obtained without any abnormalities. This indicates the low toxicity of this substance.
The anthelmintic activities of the PF1022 derivative of the general formula (I) according to this invention will be described by the following Tests.
Test 1
Fowl Roundworm Eliminating Test
Fowls (three fowls per group), which had been artificially infected with fowl roundworms and whose infection therewith had been confirmed by scatoscopy, were used as experimental animals. Upon administration of each test substance, the test substance weighed in a dose (mg) accurately calculated on the basis of the body weight (kg) of each fowl was suspended in carboxymethylcellulose-containing water, and the resulting suspension was administered orally as a single dose unit using a stomach tube. After the administration, the worms eliminated from the fowls were counted daily. Seven days after the administration, the fowl was sacrificed and autopsied and the worms remaining in its intestinal tract were counted. The percent elimination was calculated in accordance with the following calculation equation: ##EQU1##
Test results are summarized in Table 2 shown below. Each test substance is indicated by the corresponding substance code name shown above in Table 1.
Test 2
In vivo Anthelmintic Activity Test on Nematodes
To each sheep which had artificially been infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis (hereinafter abbreviated as "T") and Haemonchus contortus (hereinafter abbreviated as "T"), respectively, a test substance weighed in a dose accurately calculated from the weight (mg) of the sheep was orally administered in the form of a gelatin capsule.
The number of parasite's eggs excreted with feces from the sheep was counted quantitatively before and after the administration so that the degree of anthelmintic effects was determined. The anthelmintic effects are evaluated by rated numeral 0, 1, 2 or 3. The anthelmintic effects are rated "0" when there were no anthelmintic activities, "2" when excretion of parasite's eggs was observed, and "3" when excretion of parasite's eggs stopped, that is, parasitic worms were removed completely.
Table 3 shows the results of the test on anthelmintic activities against the above-described two types sheep parasitic worms.
Test 3
Anthelmintic effects of certain PF1022 derivatives on a rat intestinal nematode were tested in accordance with the following method.
Sixteen male Wistar rats were divided into eight groups (two rats per group), and about 2,000 larval worms of Nippostrongylus brasillensis were hypodermically inoculated per rat. Seven days after the inoculation, PF1022, PF1022E, PF1022-002, PF1022-003, PF1022-209, PF1022-218 and PF1022-219 were, as test substances, forcedly administered p.o. to the rats in the groups, respectively, in an amount of 10 mg/kg per rat. Upon administration, each test substance (8 mg) was dissolved in 0.2 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide and then, the resultant solution was diluted with distilled water to give a 2 ml suspension. Ten days after the inoculation, the rats were each subjected to autopsy and imaginal worms parasitic on the small intestines were counted.
As the test results, the average of remaining worms in each of the eight groups and the percent effectiveness of the test substance in each group as compared with that of the infected control group are shown in Table 4. PF1022 showed percent effectiveness of 80%, but PF1022-003 and PF1022-209 showed the effectivenesses of 66.1% and 59.3%, respectively.

EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of hydrogenation products of the PF1022 and PF1022 B substances
To 2.20 g of a mixture of the PF1022 and PF1022 B substances, 70 ml of ethanol and 30 ml of ethyl acetate were added to dissolve the former in the latter. A reaction mixture, which had been prepared by adding 1.0 g of 5% rhodium-carbon catalyst to the resulting solution, was stirred under hydrogen gas at 1 atmospheric pressure so that the mixture was subjected to catalytic reduction. Twenty two hours after the beginning of the stirring, that is, at the time when 222 ml of hydrogen had been consumed, the stirring was terminated and the catalyst was filtered off from the reaction mixture. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, whereby the residue was obtained in a colorless resin-like form. The residue was dissolved in 10 l of a hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1) mixed solvent, followed by subjecting the resulting solution to chromatography on a silica gel column packed with 1 kg of silica gel ("Silica Gel 601", product of Merck & CO.). Elution was then conducted using as eluents 0.9 l of hexane-ethyl acetate (2:1), 1.0 l of hexane-ethyl acetate (3:2) and 4.0 l of hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1), and the following four fractions were collected as eluates.
Fraction 1 (0.7 l): Partial hydrogenation products of PF1022B were contained therein;
Fraction 2 (0.9 l): Hydrogenation product of PF1022 was contained therein;
Fraction 3 (0.9 l): Partially hydrogenation products of PF1022 were contained therein; and
Fraction 4 (1.5 l): A mixture of partial hydrogenation products of PF1022 and the starting material PF1022 was contained therein.
(1) Fraction 2 was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a colorless residue. To the residue, 10 ml of water were added, followed by stirring for 5 hours. The crystals so precipitated (448 mg) were collected by filtration.
In an NMR spectrum of this substance (in CD.sub.3 OD), no peak attributable to the aromatic hydrogens was observed. Further, in an EI mass spectrum, molecular ion peaks (M.sup.+) at 960, 905 and a fragment peak at 864 were observed. In its UV spectrum (methanol solution), the maximum absorptions which had been observed at 263.6 nm and 257.6 nm for the PF1022 substance had disappeared. Said substance has thus been found to be dodecahydro-PF1022, that is, a compound (substance code: PF1022-ADH) of the general formula (I-i-a) where cyclohexylmethyl groups are present as R.sup.2a and R.sup.4a, respectively.

(2) To a colorless residue, which had been obtained by concentrating Fraction 3 under reduced pressure, 20 ml of hexane and 0.5 ml of methanol were added. The resulting mixture was allowed to stand, whereby colorless crystals precipitated. The crystals were collected by filtration in a yield of 457 mg. The substance so obtained was calculated to contain the five aromatic hydrogen atoms which are observed from its NMR spectrum (in CD.sub.3 OD). Further, on a UV spectrum, weakened maximum absorptions were observed at 263.6 and 257.6 nm. In an EI mass spectrum, on the other hand, the substance had molecular ion peaks at 954(M.sup.+), 899 and 858. The substance has been found to be hexahydro-PF1022 (substance code: PF1022-AHH), that is, a compound of the general the formula (I-i-a) where a benzyl group is present as R.sup.2a and a cyclohexylmethyl group as R.sup.4a.

(3) Fraction 1 was concentrated and the residue so obtained was dissolved in a solvent. As described above, the resulting solution was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column, followed by elution with hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1). From eluate fractions, a hydrogenation product of the PF1022B substance was obtained. The solid so obtained was recognized to be a hydrogenation product (substance code: PF 1022-BTH) of the formula (I-i-b) in which the four benzyl groups of PF1022B substance had been reduced into four cyclohexylmethyl groups.
EXAMPLE 2
Preparation of dodecahydro-PF1022
To 500 mg of the PF1022 substance, 30 ml of ethanol and 250 mg of 5% rhodium-carbon were added, followed by catalytic reduction for two days under hydrogen gas at 1 atm. After a stop of the consumption of hydrogen was confirmed, the reaction was terminated. From the reaction mixture, the catalyst was removed using celite as a filtration assistant. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue so obtained was added with water and small amounts of methanol and isopropyl ether, followed by stirring. The crystals so precipitated were collected by filtration in a yield of 499 mg.
The substance so obtained was recognized as dodecahydro PF1022 (namely, PF1022-ADH). Incidentally, as a result of thin-layer chromatography on silica gel (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate, 1:1), no remainder of the starting substance PF1022 or hexahydro PF1022 was recognized.
Preparation of the derivatives of the general formulae (I-ii)-(I-v) by the totally synthetic process will be illustrated by the following Examples 3-4 and Examples 6-17.
