`FLUORINATED ESTERS OF RAPAMYCIN
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`This invention relates to novel esters of rapamycin
`and a method for using them in the treatment of trans(cid:173)
`plantation rejection, host vs. graft disease, autoimmune
`diseases, diseases of inflammation, solid tumors, and
`fungal infections.
`Rapamycin is a macrocyclic triene antibiotic pro(cid:173)
`duced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus, which was found
`to have antifungal activity, particularly against Candida
`albicans, both in vitro and in vivo [C. Vezina et al., J.
`Antibiot. 28, 721 (1975); S. N. Sehga) et al., J. Antibiot.
`28, 727 (1975); H. A. Baker et al., J. Antibiot. 31, 539
`(1978); U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,992; and U.S. Pat. No.
`3,993,749].
`Rapamycin alone (U.S. Pat. No. 4,885,171) or in com(cid:173)
`bination with picibanil (U.S. Pat. No. 4,401,653) has
`been shown to have antitumor activity. R. Martel et al.
`[Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol. 55, 48 (1977)] disclosed
`that rapamycin is effective in the experimental allergic
`encephalomyelitis model, a model for multiple sclerosis;
`in the adjuvant arthritis model, a model for rheumatoid
`arthritis; and effectively inhibited the formation of IgE-
`like antibodies.
`The immunosuppressive effects of rapamycin have
`been disclosed in FASEB 3, 3411 (1989). Cyclosporin A
`and FK-506, other macrocyclic molecules, also have
`been shown
`to be effective as
`immunosuppressive
`agents, therefore useful in preventing transplant rejec(cid:173)
`tion [FASEB 3, 3411 (1989); FASEB 3, 5256 (1989); and
`R. Y. Calne et al., Lancet 1183 (1978)].
`Mono- and diacylated derivatives of rapamycin (es-
`terified at the 28 and 43 positions) have been shown to
`be useful as antifungal agents (U.S. Pat. No. 4,316,885)
`and used to make water soluble prodrugs of rapamycin
`(U.S. Pat. No. 4,650,803). Recently, the numbering
`convention for rapamycin has been changed; therefore
`according to Chemical Abstracts nomenclature, the
`esters described above would be at the 31- and 42-posi-
`tions.
`
`DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
`This invention provides derivatives of rapamycin
`which are useful as immunosuppressive, anti-inflamma(cid:173)
`tory, and antifungal agents having the structure
`
`wherein
`
`25
`

`
`where X is OH, in the presence of a coupling reagent,
`such as CMC (l-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)car-
`bodiimide metho-para-toluenesulphonate). The com(cid:173)
`pounds of this invention also can be prepared by using
`an anhydride of the above described carboxylic acid as
`the acylating species. In addition, the acylating species
`can be an acid halide, where X can be CI, Br, or I.
`Alternatively, reagents such as Ishikawa's Reagent
`(N,N-diethyl-1,1 -2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropylamine)
`can
`be used as an acylating reagent to give compounds of
`this invention.
`The compounds of this invention acylated at both the
`31- and 42-positions can be prepared by the methods
`described above by increasing variables such as reaction
`time, temperature, and quantity of acylating agent.
`The 31-acylated compounds of this invention can be
`prepared by protecting the 42-alcohol of rapamycin
`with a protecting group, such as with a tert-butyl dime-
`thylsilyl group in the presence of a base, such as imidaz(cid:173)
`ole, followed by acylation of the 31-position with an
`acylating agent having the general structure shown
`above. Removal of the protecting group provides the
`31-acylated compounds. In the case of the tert-butyl
`dimethylsilyl protecting group, deprotection can be
`accomplished under mildly acidic conditions, such as
`with a mixture of aqueous acetic acid and THF.
`Having the 31-position acylated and the 42-position
`deprotected, the 42-position can be reacted with a dif(cid:173)
`ferent acylating agent than was reacted with the 31-
`alcohol, to give compounds having different acyl moi(cid:173)
`eties at the 31- and 42-positions. Alternatively, the 42-
`acyl compounds, prepared as described above, can be
`reacted with an acylating agent having a different struc(cid:173)
`ture to provide compounds having different acyl moi(cid:173)
`eties at the 31- and 42-positions.
`The acylating groups used to prepare the compounds
`60 of the invention are commercially available or can be
`prepared by methods that are disclosed in the literature.
`Immunosuppressive activity was evaluated in an in
`vitro standard pharmacological test procedure to mea(cid:173)
`sure lymphocyte proliferation (LAF) and in two in vivo
`65 standard pharmacological test procedures. The first in
`vivo procedure was a popliteal lymph node (PLN) test
`procedure which measured the effect of compounds of
`this invention on a mixed lymphocyte reaction and the

`the thymus of normal
`BALB/c mice are cultured for 72 hours with PHA and
`IL-1 and pulsed with tritiated thymidine during the last
`six hours. Cells are cultured with and without various
`concentrations of rapamycin, cyclosporin A, or test

`ers or osmo-regulators. Suitable examples of liquid car(cid:173)
`riers for oral and parenteral administration
`include
`water (partially containing additives as above, e.g. cel(cid:173)
`lulose derivatives, preferably sodium carboxymethyl
`cellulose solution), alcohols (including monohydric 5
`alcohols and polyhydric alcohols, e.g. glycols) and their
`derivatives, and oils (e.g. fractionated coconut oil and
`arachis oil). For parenteral administration, the carrier
`can also be an oily ester such as ethyl oleate and isopro-
`pyl myristate. Sterile liquid carriers are useful in sterile 10
`liquid form compositions for parenteral administration.
`The liquid carrier for pressurized compositions can be
`halogenated hydrocarbon or other pharmaceutically
`acceptable propellent.
`Liquid pharmaceutical compositions which are sterile ]5
`solutions or suspensions can be utilized by, for example,
`intramuscular, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injec(cid:173)
`tion. Sterile solutions can also be administered intrave(cid:173)
`nously. The compound can also be administered orally
`either in liquid or solid composition form.
`Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition is in unit
`dosage form, e.g. as tablets or capsules. In such form,
`the composition is sub-divided in unit dose containing
`appropriate quantities of the active ingredient; the unit
`dosage forms can be packaged compositions, for exam- 25
`pie, packeted powders, vials, ampoules, prefilled syrin(cid:173)
`ges or sachets containing liquids. The unit dosage form
`can be, for example, a capsule or tablet itself, or it can be
`the appropriate number of any such compositions in
`package form. The dosage to be used in the treatment -Q
`must be subjectively determined by the attending physi(cid:173)
`cian.
`In addition, the compounds of this invention may be
`employed as a solution, cream, or lotion by formulation
`with pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles containing
`0.1-5 percent, preferably 2%, of active compound
`which may be administered to a fungally affected area.

`
`EXAMPLE 1
`Rapamycin, 42-ester with trifluoroacetic acid
`Method A
`To a solution of 274 mg (0.3 mmol) of rapamycin in
`10 ml of methylene chloride is added 63 mg (0.3 mmol, 45
`43 fil) of trifluoroacetic anhydride and then 39 mg (0.3
`mmol) of diisopropylethylamine (Hunig's base). The
`mixture is stirred for 30 min and then an additional 78
`mg (0.6 mmol, 106 fil) of Hunig's base is added followed
`by 63 mg (43 jil, 0.3 mmol) of trifluoroacetic anhydride. 5°
`After 30 min the reaction mixture is diluted with
`ethyl ether and aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The mix(cid:173)
`ture is extracted with ethyl ether (3 times) and the com(cid:173)
`bined organic extracts are washed with aqueous sodium
`bicarbonate. The resulting extract is dried over magne- 55
`sium sulfate and removed of solvent in vacuo to give a
`solid foam.
`Flash chromatography on silica gel using ethyl
`ethenhexane (4:1) as the eluant gave 96 mg of product
`which is recrystallized from cyc]ohexane:hexane (1:1) 60
`to give 68 mg of the title compound: m.p. 870-9r C.

`mmol) of triethylamine in 50 ml of methylene chloride
`is treated dropwise with 114 mg (1 mmol, 77 jtil) of
`trifluoroacetic acid. The mixture is maintained with
`stirring for 17 h. An additional 1 mmol of CMC, 20 mg
`of dimethylaminopyridine, 1 mmol of triethylamine and
`1 mmol of trifluoroacetic acid is added. Additional
`trifluoroacetic acid (1 mmol) is added at 0.5 h intervals
`until conversion is complete.
`The mixture is diluted with water and ethyl ether and
`is extracted with ethyl ether. The ethereal extract is
`washed with water, 0.5N hydrochloric acid and finally
`with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The solu(cid:173)
`tion is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evapo(cid:173)
`rated to give 870 mg of a white foam. The crude prod(cid:173)
`uct is subjected to flash chromatography using hex-
`ane:ethyl ether (1:4) as the eluant. The obtained product
`is recrystallized from hexane:cyclohexane (1:1) to af(cid:173)

`Rapamycin, 42-ester with 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropanoic
`acid
`To a solution of 914 mg (1 mmol) of rapamycin in 20
`ml of methylene chloride is added 245 mg (1.1 mmol) of
`Ishikawa Reagent (N,N-diethyl 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoro-
`propylamine). After 1 hr, an additional 84 mg (0.4
`mmol) of Ishikawa Reagent is added. The mixture is
`stirred for 2 h and then is diluted with ethyl ether and
`aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The ethyl ether layer is
`separated and the aqueous layer is reextracted with
`ethyl ether (2 times). The combined ethereal extracts
`are dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and removed
`of solvent in vacuo to give 762 mg of a solid foam.
`A portion of the crude product is subjected to silica
`gel chromatography using hexane:ethyl ether (1:4) as
`the eluant to give 310 mg of product (Rf=0.28 hex-
`ane:ethyl ether(l:4)). Recrystallization from hexane:cy-
