`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention relates. to compounds, pharmaceu-
`tical compositions. and methods for treating several condi-
`tions with prodrugs for phenylacetate as therapeutic agents.
`
`15
`
`FIELD OF THE INVl:‘N’l"ION
`
`Phenylalkanoic acids are known therapeutic agents for a
`variety of disorders. Phenylacetate is used for the treatment
`of nitrogen metabolism disorders. beta-hemoglobinopathies,
`anemia and cancer. Various phenylalkenoic acids can be
`used in the treatment of the same disorders. The prodrugs
`disclosed in the present
`invention are useful
`therapeutic
`agents for a number of disorders, and possess some advan-
`tages over the forms of the drugs administered in the prior
`art.
`
`Nitrogen Metabolism Disorders
`In a healthy person.
`the potentially toxic nitrogenous
`compounds which accumulate as the body degrades proteins
`are synthesized into urea which is rapidly excreted into the
`urine. However. for those who suffer kidney failure, liver
`failure or inborn errors of urea synthesis, this pathway is
`defective. The accumulation of nitrogenous compounds
`resulting from such a blockage leads to considerable mor-
`bidity and mortality.
`In the case of an inborn error of urea synthesis, the major
`metabolic abnormality is the inability of the body to convert
`waste nitrogen into urea. As a consequence, various nitrog-
`enous metabolites accumulate in the body, the most toxic
`being ammonium, although other materials, such as
`glutamine and alanine also increase.
`Previous therapeutic approaches for treating patients with
`urea cycle enzymopathies (as well as other nitrogen accu-
`mulation diseases cited earlier) have been designed to
`reduce the requirement for urea synthesis by quantitative
`and qualitative manipulation of dietary protein, amino acids
`andfor their nitrogen free analogues. Generally speaking,
`however. the mortality of inborn errors of the urea-cycle
`remained high and success was measured in terms of
`increased survival time. Thus, for example, even with the
`above-cited therapeutic approaches, children with the neo-
`natal form of these diseases rarely survive past one year of
`age {Maestri, et al., The Journal ofPedt'rri'rt'c.s', Vol. 119, No.
`6, 923-928 (1991)).
`DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
`
`A more recent approach to remedy this pervasive problem
`is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4.34.64? to Saul W. Brusitow,
`wherein benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, or the salts thereof,
`convert the waste nitrogen into amino acid acylation prod-
`ucts which the body can successfully excrete as urinary
`nitrogen. More specifically, the patent teaches that pheny-
`lacetate reacts with the nitrogen to form phenylacetyl-
`glutamine which is subsequently excreted by the body. Since
`such a reaction is in no way dependent on the urea synthesis
`or excretion, it is an eflective treatment for those sulfering
`from nitrogen accumulation diseases. See also "Treatment of
`lnborn Errors of Urea Synthesis,” New Errgfnnd Jorrrmrf of
`Medicine. 306; l38'z'—1392 (1982).

`U.S. Pat. No. 4,457,942, also to San] W. Brusilow. dis-
`closes that even-numbered phenylalkanoic acids can be
`advantageously used for the treatment of nitrogen accumu-
`lation diseases.
`
`When administered to humans, even numbered phenyla-
`lkanoic acids, such as phenylbutyrate, can be broken down
`by betaoxidation, two carbon atoms at a time, to eventually
`yield phenylacetate which, as described above, has been
`found useful for removing waste nitrogen from the blood
`stream. The administration of even numbered phenylal-
`kanoic acids such as phenylbutyrate has the advantage that
`the higher molecular weight compounds do not have the
`offensive odor which phenylbutyrate has.
`The above treatments, although elfective, have a substan-
`tial disadvantage. The dose of sodium phenylbutyrate for an
`adult with a urea cycle disorder is 20 gramsfday. This
`requires that the patient take forty (40) tablets of 0.5 grams
`each, per day. Problems of patient compliance arise when
`such large daily doses are required. The administration of
`sodium phenylbutyrate has a second disadvantage to many
`patients—patients who should restrict their daily dose of
`sodium. The above daily dose of sodium phenylbutyrate
`provides 2.5 gm of sodium per day, every day {it is recom-
`mended that adults consume less than 2.4 gramstday total
`sodium).
`The substitution in therapy of phenylacetate or
`phenylbutyrate, by the compounds ofthe present invention,
`provides the therapeutic compound in a more convenient
`dosage l'orm.
`In addition,
`the compounds of the present
`invention may eliminate the peaks and valleys in drug levels
`since the breakdown of these higher molecular weight
`compounds by beta-oxidation is
`a gradual process.
`In
`addition. the Na component of the prior art is replaced with
`glycerol, which is a normal product of metabolism.
`Cancer
`
`Phenylbutyrate and phenylacetate are being investigated
`as a treatment for various malignant diseases. The exact
`mechanism by which this therapy causes improvement in the
`patient is not entirely clear.
`It has been observed that primary central nervous system
`tumors are reminiscent ofimrnature brain, and the immature
`brain is known to be more vulnerable to damage by pheny-
`lacetate than the mature brain (as is observed in
`phenylketonuria}. Sodium phenylacetate appears to promote
`the dilferentiation of cultured human glioblastoma cell lines
`with reduced expression of malignant phenotype.
`Systemic treatment of rats bearing intracranial gliomas
`with phenylacetate resulted in signillcant tumor suppression
`with no apparent toxicity to the host. Early clinical results
`suggest that phenylacetate may become an important tool in
`the management of certain tumors in light of its demon-
`strated eflieacy, and lack of toxicity (Samid et al., Cancer
`Resenrcii, 54, 891-895, 1994, and Cinatl et al., Cancer
`Letters, 70, 15-24. 1993).
`A similar theory may be applied in treating prostate
`cancer with phenylacetate. The phenylacetate is thought to
`act as a diflerentiation inducer of leukemic and other less
`differentiated tumor cells, such as hormone refractory pros-
`tate cancer.
`
`Cultured cells of androgen dependent prostate cell lines
`with sodium phenylacetate show inhibition of cell prolifera-
`tion. In addition, such cells show reversion to non-malignant
`phenotype by in vivo and in vitro assessments (Samid et al.,
`Hie Journal of Clinical 1rrI.>e.s'n’grrriort, Vb]. 19, 2288-2295,
`1993).
`Phenylacetate may exert an anti-tumor all'ect by another
`mechanism. Glutamine is the major nitrogen source [or
`nucleic acid and protein synthesis, and substrate for energy
`in rapidly dividing normal and tumor cells. Compared to
`normal tissue. most tumors. due to decreased synthesis of

`DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
`EMBODIMENTS
`
`The present invention utilizes compounds of the formula:
`
`H I
`
`H—f|‘—0—R.
`t-1—f|.‘—0—Rg
`t1—-r:——o—R_.
`H
`
`whercin R1, R2, and R3 are independently, ll,
`
`0 l
`
`l
`—c—(ct13;,.—ct-:3
`
`O
`
`or —c—c,,tt;,,..3—ctt3
`
`and n is zero or an even number, m is an even number and
`at least one of R_,, R3, and R3 is not I-I.
`The most preferred compounds are those wherein none of
`R1, R3 and R3 is H. The advantage over the prior art of
`decreased dosage is greater with such tri
`lycerides.
`The present
`invention also utilizes efiiyl esters of the
`formula II
`
`(tn
`
`c_.H5-—o——c——t<,
`
`wherein R4 is
`
`3
`glutamine along with accelerated utilization and catabolism,
`operate at
`limiting levels of glutamine availability and
`consequently are sensitive to further glutamine depletion. In
`the body, phenylacetate conjugates with glutamine, with
`subsequent renal excretion of phenylacetylglutamine. This
`pathway is the reason that phenylacetate administration is
`useful in the treatment of nitrogen accumulation diseases.
`Because phenylacetate removes glutamine, administration
`ofphenylacetate may limit the growth rate of rapidly divid-
`ing cells such as tumor cells.
`By one or more of the above mechanisms, phenylacctate
`causes a decrease in tumor characteristics of a variety of
`tumor cells. Because of its known non—toxicity, phenylac—
`etate is a promising therapeutic agent, either alone or in
`combination with other anti~tunJor agents.
`Hemoglobinopathies
`Sodium phenylbutyrate is thought to cause improvement
`in certain B-hemoglobinopathies because the sodium phe-
`nylbutyrate induces the expression of fetal hemoglobin.
`Thus the absent or aberrant B-hemoglobin is substituted with
`fetal hemoglobin.
`Numerous agents which induce the expression of fetal
`hemoglobin have been used to treat sickle cell anemia and
`B-thalassemias. Some of the agents which increase the
`production of fetal hemoglobin however, have serious side
`effects that are not consistent with their use as long terrn _
`therapeutic agents.
`llovvever, sodium phenylaoetatc and
`sodium phertylbutyrate have been previously used to treat
`urea cycle disorders and are known to be very well tolerated
`and free of adverse reactions in clinical use. Preliminary
`clinical studies of patients with beta thalassemia indicate
`that
`treatment with sodium phenyllautyrate results in a
`response in many patients. The response is panicularly good
`in patients with relatively high erythropoietirt levels. Thus,
`combination therapy of the phenylbutyrate and erythropoi-
`etin may be eltective. Hydroxyurea given orally has atso
`been shown to increase hemoglobin levels in some thalas-
`semia patients. Clinical studies of thalasscmia patients
`treated with a combination of hydroxyurea and sodium
`phenylbutyrate has produced increased hemoglobin levels in
`some patients.

`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`{CH3}7 CH _
`
`or
`
`The compounds of the present invention, triglycerides of
`phenylalkanoic acids or phcnylalkenoic acids, and ethyl
`esters of phenylalkanoic acids or phenylalkenoic acids,
`provide a more convenient dosage form of drugs for treat-
`ment of nitrogen accumulation disorders, cancer, anemia
`and hemoglobinopathies. The compounds of the invention
`are oils or soft fats. Where the prior art dose for an adult
`would have been forty (L5 g tableslday, the present invention
`provides the same amount of active compound in approxi-
`mately four {4} lcaspoonfuls per day. The dosage form of the
`present invention also decreases sodium intake in patients,
`which is advantageous in certain patients, and may also
`provide the active component of the drug,
`the phenylal-
`kanoic or phenylalkenoic acid, at a more constant level.
`The compounds of the invention may be used for the
`treatment of nitrogen accumulation disorders, portal sys-
`temic encephalopathy, and diseases involving impaired
`hepatic function. Additionally, the use of triglycerides and for
`the esters of the present invention alone or in combination
`with hydroxyurea andfor erythropoiet in, may he used for the
`treatment of beta chain hemoglobinopathies. The com-
`pounds of the invention are suitable for the treatment for
`various leukemias and solid tumors.
`
`The compounds of the invention can be produced by
`standard esterilication procedures. Additionally, many of the
`compounds of the invention are commercially available.

`invention can be t.Lsed
`The compounds of the present
`separately or in the form of mixtures. The amount of the
`compounds of the present invention which is administered to
`patients for the present purposes can vary widely from case
`to case. Normally, however, the daily dosage for the com-
`pounds should fall in the range of 450 to 600 mgflt I body
`weight for children, and from 9.9 to 13 grams for aduli . The
`size and frequency of the dosages given at any time may be
`varied as described provided the indicated total daily does is
`not significantly modified. Preferably the compounds of the
`invention are administered orally, although in some
`circumstances. administration may be other routes such as
`topically or parentcrally.

`
`In their experiments with dogs. Raper and Wagner
`(Biochem Journal 222188 (1938)) demonstrated that pheny-
`lalkanoic acids are oxidized at
`the beta carbon during
`metabolism to cause cleavage of two carbons at a time.
`Thus, they found that 80% of the phenylbutyrate adminis-
`tered to dogs appeared in the urine as the glycine conjugate
`of phenylacetate. Unlike dogs, man only produces an acety-
`lation product of glutamine from phenylacetate. ‘thus, when
`phenylhutyratc is administered to a human as either a fatty
`acid or a salt thereof, the phenylacetate formed as a result of
`beta oxidation will acetylatc the glutamine thus causing the
`formation of phenylacetylglutamine which will be excreted
`by the kidney. The beta oxidation process is not limited to
`phenylbutyrate. In fact, any even numbered phenylalkanoate
`can be metabolized to phenylacetate. Thus phenylhcxanoate.
`phcnyloctanoate and p|:tenyldecanoate are also effective to
`control waste nitrogen levels.
`
`Unsaturated fatty acids are oxidized by the same general
`pathway as saturated fatty acids. Two additional enzymes
`may he used. one which can reversibly shift the double bond
`from cis to trans configurations, and one which hydrates the
`double bond to form hyclroxy fatty acids. The compounds
`are then substrates for the beta oxidation enzymes.
`
`The ethyl esters of formula II are thought to be metabo-
`lizcd by spontaneous degradation in the intestine.
`
`the toxicity of tri-glycerides of
`is anticipated that
`It
`phenylbutyrate and other compounds of this invention to
`patients would be low when these compounds are adminis-
`tered to patients because the fate of such compounds is
`phenylbutyrate which is beta oxidized to form phenylac-
`etate. Glycerol is also produced, but
`it
`is a normal body
`constituent which is either converted to glucose or oxidized.
`For the ethyl esters, ethanol is produced, but in such small
`quantities as to be non-harmful. The phenylaoctate meta-
`bolic product, on the other hand, has no known toxicity and
`is approved for investigational use in humans (IND #17123).
