Definitions

  • Cyclosporin derivatives of the present invention are disclosed which possess enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity over naturally occurring and other presently known cyclosporins and cyclosporine derivatives.
  • the cyclosporin derivatives of the present invention are produced by chemical and isotopic substitution of the cyclosporine A (CsA) molecule by:
  • cyclosporins are a family of, neutral, hydrophobic cyclic undecapeptides, containing a novel nine-carbon amino acid (MeBmt) at position 1 of the ring that exhibit potent immunosuppressive, antiparasitic, fungicidal, and chronic anti-inflammatory properties.
  • MeBmt nine-carbon amino acid
  • the naturally occurring members of this family of structurally related compounds are produced by various fungi imperfecti.
  • Cyclosporines A and C are the major components. Cyclosporine A, which is discussed further below, is a particularly important member of the cyclosporin family of compounds.
  • Cyclosporin was discovered to be immunosuppressive when it was observed to suppress antibody production in mice during the screening of fungal extracts. Specifically, its suppressive effects appear to be related to the inhibition of T-cell receptor-mediated activation events. It accomplishes this by interrupting calcium dependent signal transduction during T-cell activation by inactivating calmodulin and cyclophilin, a peptidly propyl isomerase. It also inhibits lymphokine production by T-helper cells in vitro and arrests the development of mature CD8 and CD4 cells in the thymus.
  • T-lymphocytes include inhibition of IL-2 producing T-lymphocytes and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, inhibition of IL-2 released by activated T-cells, inhibition of resting T-lymphocytes in response to alloantigen and exogenous lymphocytes, inhibition of IL-1 production, and inhibition of mitogen activation of IL-2 producing T-lymphocytes. Further evidence indicates that the above effects involve the T-lymphocytes at the activation and maturation stages.
  • TCR T cell receptor
  • MHC major histocompatibility
  • TCR signal transmission pathway exact method of transmission unknown
  • NF-AT nuclear factor of activated T-cells
  • IL-2 lymphokine interleukin-2
  • T-cell activation also involves the appearance of the lymphokine receptor IL-2R on the cell surface. After IL-2 binds to IL-2R, a lymphokine receptor (LKR) signal transmission pathway is activated.
  • the immunosuppressive drug, rapamycin inhibits this pathway.
  • CsA is a potent inhibitor of TCR-mediated signal transduction pathway. It inhibits binding of NF-AT to the IL-2 enhancer, and thus inhibits transcriptional activation. CsA binds to cyclophilin, which binds to calcineurin, which is a key enzyme in the T-cell signal transduction cascade.
  • Cyclophilin is found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and is ubiquitous and abundant. Cyclophilin is a single polypeptide chain with 165 amino acid residues. It has a molecular mass of 17.8 kD. A roughly spherical molecule with a radius of 17 angstroms, cyclophilin has a eight-stranded antiparallel beta barrel. Inside the barrel, the tightly packed core contains mostly hydrophobic side chains. CsA has numerous hydrophobic side chains which allow it to fit into the cyclophilin beta barrel. Cyclophillin catalyzes the interconversion of the cis and trans-rotamers of the peGIFdyl-prolyl amide bond of peptide and protein substrates.
  • Cyclophilin is identical in structure with peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase and beers structural resemblance to the superfamily of proteins that transports ligands such as retinol-binding protein (RBP). These proteins carry the ligand in the barrel core. But cyclophilin actually carries the ligand binding site on the outside of the barrel. The tetrapeptide ligand binds in a long deep groove on the protein surface between one face of the beta barrel and the Thr116-Gly130 loop.
  • CsA binds to the cyclophilin beta barrel.
  • CyP A residues define the CsA binding site. These residues are Arg 55, Phe 60, Met 61, Gln 63, Gly 72, Ala 101, Asn 102, Ala 103, Gln 111, Phe 113, Trp 121, Leu 122, His 126.
  • the largest side-chain movements are 1.3 A for Arg 55 and up to 0.7 A for Phe 60, Gln 63, and Trp 121.
  • Residues 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 of CsA protrude out into the solvent and are thought to be involved in binding the effector protein, calcineurin (Pflugl, G., Kallen, J., Schirmer, T., Jansonius, J. N., Zurini, M. G. M., & Walkinshaw, M. D. (1993) Nature 361, 91-94.)
  • the CsA-CyP A complex inhibits the phosphatase activity of the heterodimeric protein serine/threonine phosphatase or calcineurin (Liu, J., Farmer, J. D., Lane, W. S., Friedman, L, Weissman, I., & Schreiber, S. L. (1991) Cell 66, 807-15.; Swanson, S. K., Born, T., Zydowsky, C. D., Cho, H., Chang, H. Y., & Walsh, C. T. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89, 3686-90). CyP A binds CsA with an affinity of ca 10 nM.
  • Calcineurin dephosphorylates the transcription factor NFAT found in the cytoplasm of T-cells. Dephosphorylation allows NFAT to translocate to the nucleus, combine with jun/fos genes and activate the transcription of the IL-2 gene responsible for cell cycle progression, leading to immune response.
  • CsA-CyP A complex inhibits the phosphatase activity of calcineurin and ultimately immunosuppression (Etzkorn, F. A., Chang, Z, Stolz L. A., & Walsh, C. T. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 2380-2388.). Neither CsA or CyP A alone are important immunologically. Only their complex is important (Liu, J., Farmer, J. D., Lane, W. S., Friedman, J., Weissman, I., & Schreiber, S. L. (1991) Cell 66, 807-15).

D-Chloroalanine has also been introduced into position-8 of Cyclosporin A by biosynthesis. See A. Lawen et al J. Antibiotics 52, 1283 (1989).
  • Immunoregulatory abnormalities have been shown to exist in a wide variety of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, biliary cirrhosis, uveitis, multiple sclerosis and other disorders such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, bullous pemphigoid, sarcoidosis, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and Graves ophthalmopathy.

  • Anti-inflammatory agents such as NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-inflamatory Drugs), and corticosteroids act principally by blocking the effect of or secretion of these mediators, but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease.
  • cytotoxic agents such as cyclophosphamide, act in such a mm specific fashion that both the normal and autoimmune responses are shut off. Indeed, patients treated with such nonspecific immunosuppressive agents are as likely to succumb to infection as they are to their autoimmune disease.

  • Substitution of deuterium in methyl groups of cyclosporine will result in a slower rate of oxidation of the C-D bond relative to the rate of oxidation of a non-deuterium substituted C—H bond.
  • the isotopic effect acts to reduce formation of demethylated metabolites and thereby alters the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug.
  • Lower rates of oxidation, metabolism and clearance result in greater and more sustained biological activity.
  • Deuteration is targeted at various sites of the cyclosporin molecule to increase the potency of drug, reduce toxicity of the drug, reduce the clearance of the pharmacologically active moiety and improve the stability of the molecule.
  • Stable isotopes are nonradioactive isotopes which contain one additional neutron than the normally abundant isotope of the respective atom.
  • Deuterated compounds have been used in pharmaceutical research to investigate the in vivo metabolic fate of the compounds by evaluation of the mechanism of action and metabolic pathway of the non deuterated parent compound. (Blake et al. J. Pharm. Sci. 64, 3, 367-391, 1975). Such metabolic studies are important in the design of safe, effective therapeutic drugs, either because the in vivo active compound administered to the patient or because the metabolites produced from the parent compound prove to be toxic or carcinogenic (Foster et al., Advances in Drug Research Vol. 14, pp. 2-36, Academic press, London, 1985).
  • Stable isotope labeling of a drug can alter its physico-chemical properties such as pKa and lipid solubility. These changes may influence the fate of the drug at different steps along its passage through the body. Absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion can be changed. Absorption and distribution are processes that depend primarily on the molecular size and the lipophilicity of the substance. These effects and alterations can affect the pharmacodynamic response of the drug molecule if the isotopic substitution affects a region involved in a ligand-receptor interaction.
  • Drug metabolism can give rise to large isotopic effect if the breaking of a chemical bond to a deuterium atom is the rate limiting step in the process. While some of the physical proper of a stable isotope-labeled molecule are different from those of the unlabeled one, the chemical and biological properties an the same, with one important exception: because of the increased mass of the heavy isotope, any bond involving the heavy isotope and another atom will be stronger than the same bond between the light isotope and that atom.
  • reaction involving breaking a C-D bond can be up to 700 percent slower than a similar reaction involving breaking a C—H bond. If the C-D bond is not involved in any of the steps leading to the metabolite, there may not be any effect to alter the behavior of the drug.

It will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art reviewing the synthetic route depicted below that other compounds with formula I can be synthesized by substitution of appropriate reactants and agents in the synthesis shown below.
  • the first step in the process for making deuterated cyclosporin analogs is the preparation of the key intermediate 3 and 6. This can be achieved by the oxidation of the double bond in the amino acid 1. Treatment of cyclosporin with acetic anhydride and excess of dimethylaminopyridine provided the hydroxyl protected acetyl cyclosporin. 2 Although cleavage of the double bond could then be accomplished by treatment of 2 with ozone, or KMnO 4 /NaIO 4 , it was found out that OsO 4 /NaIO 4 was the reagent of choice for the transformation to the aldehyde product 3. The reaction was generally found to be cleaner, producing the required material and to proceed in higher yield.

  • INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
  • Cyclosporin derivatives of the present invention are disclosed which possess enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity over naturally occurring and other presently known cyclosporins and cyclosporine derivatives. The cyclosporin derivatives of the present invention are produced by chemical and isotopic substitution of the cyclosporine A (CsA) molecule by:
  • 1. Chemical substitution and optionally deuterium substitution of amino acid 1; and
  • 2. Deuterium substitution at key sites of metabolism of the cyclosporine A molecule such as amino acids 1,4,9. The cyclosporins are a family of, neutral, hydrophobic cyclic undecapeptides, containing a novel nine-carbon amino acid (MeBmt) at position 1 of the ring that exhibit potent immunosuppressive, antiparasitic, fungicidal, and chronic anti-inflammatory properties. The naturally occurring members of this family of structurally related compounds are produced by various fungi imperfecti. Cyclosporines A and C, are the major components. Cyclosporine A, which is discussed further below, is a particularly important member of the cyclosporin family of compounds. Twenty four minor metabolites, also oligopeptides, have been identified: Lawen et al., J. Antibiotics 42, 1283 (1989); Traber et al., Helv. Chim. Acta 70, 13 (1987); Von Wartburg and Traber Prog. Med. Chem., 25, 1 (1988). Isolation of cyclosporines A and C, as well as the structure of A were reported by A. Ruegger et al., Helv. Chim. Acta 59, 1075 (1976); M. Dreyfuss et al., J. Appl. Microbial. 3, 125 (1976). Crystal and molecular structures of the iodo derivative of A have been reported by T. J. Petcher et al., Helv. Chh. Acta 59, 1480 (1976). The structure of C was reported by R Traber et al., ibid. 60, 1247 (1977). Production of A and C has been reported by E. Harri et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,117,118 (1978 to Sandoz). Isolation, characterization and antifungal activity of B, D, E, as well as the structures of A through D have been reported by R Traber et al., Helv. Chim. Acta 60, 1568 (1977). Isolation and structures of E, F, G, H, I: eidem, ibid 65, 1655 (1982). Preparation of [2-Deutero-3-fluoro-D-Ala]8-CsA is disclosed by Patchett et al in GB 2,206,199A which was published on Dec. 29, 1988.
  • Cyclosporin was discovered to be immunosuppressive when it was observed to suppress antibody production in mice during the screening of fungal extracts. Specifically, its suppressive effects appear to be related to the inhibition of T-cell receptor-mediated activation events. It accomplishes this by interrupting calcium dependent signal transduction during T-cell activation by inactivating calmodulin and cyclophilin, a peptidly propyl isomerase. It also inhibits lymphokine production by T-helper cells in vitro and arrests the development of mature CD8 and CD4 cells in the thymus. Other in vitro properties include inhibition of IL-2 producing T-lymphocytes and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, inhibition of IL-2 released by activated T-cells, inhibition of resting T-lymphocytes in response to alloantigen and exogenous lymphocytes, inhibition of IL-1 production, and inhibition of mitogen activation of IL-2 producing T-lymphocytes. Further evidence indicates that the above effects involve the T-lymphocytes at the activation and maturation stages.
  • Stimulation of TCR (T cell receptor) by foreign antigen on a major histocompatibility (MHC) molecule on the surface of the T cell results in the activation of a TCR signal transmission pathway (exact method of transmission unknown) through the cytoplasm causing the signal results in the activation of nuclear transcription factors, i.e. nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NF-AT) which regulate transcription of T-cell activation genes. These genes include that of lymphokine interleukin-2 (IL-2). Translation of the message is followed by secretion of IL-2. T-cell activation also involves the appearance of the lymphokine receptor IL-2R on the cell surface. After IL-2 binds to IL-2R, a lymphokine receptor (LKR) signal transmission pathway is activated. The immunosuppressive drug, rapamycin, inhibits this pathway.
  • CsA is a potent inhibitor of TCR-mediated signal transduction pathway. It inhibits binding of NF-AT to the IL-2 enhancer, and thus inhibits transcriptional activation. CsA binds to cyclophilin, which binds to calcineurin, which is a key enzyme in the T-cell signal transduction cascade.
  • Cyclophilin is found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and is ubiquitous and abundant. Cyclophilin is a single polypeptide chain with 165 amino acid residues. It has a molecular mass of 17.8 kD. A roughly spherical molecule with a radius of 17 angstroms, cyclophilin has a eight-stranded antiparallel beta barrel. Inside the barrel, the tightly packed core contains mostly hydrophobic side chains. CsA has numerous hydrophobic side chains which allow it to fit into the cyclophilin beta barrel. Cyclophillin catalyzes the interconversion of the cis and trans-rotamers of the peGIFdyl-prolyl amide bond of peptide and protein substrates. Cyclophilin is identical in structure with peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase and beers structural resemblance to the superfamily of proteins that transports ligands such as retinol-binding protein (RBP). These proteins carry the ligand in the barrel core. But cyclophilin actually carries the ligand binding site on the outside of the barrel. The tetrapeptide ligand binds in a long deep groove on the protein surface between one face of the beta barrel and the Thr116-Gly130 loop.
  • Further properties have also been reported in studies of the biological activity of CsA: J. F. Borel et al., Agents Actions 6, 468 (1976). Pharmacology: Eidem. Immunology 32, 1017 (1977); R. Y. Calne, Clin. Exp. Immunol. 35, 1 (1979). Human studies: R. Y. Calne et al., Lancet 2, 1323 (1978); R. L. Powles et al., ibid. 1327; R. L. Powles et al., ibid 1, 327 (1980).

  • Mechanism of Cyclosporine A Action Cyclosporine A-Cyclophilin A Complex
  • CsA, as discussed above, binds to the cyclophilin beta barrel. Thirteen CyP A residues define the CsA binding site. These residues are Arg 55, Phe 60, Met 61, Gln 63, Gly 72, Ala 101, Asn 102, Ala 103, Gln 111, Phe 113, Trp 121, Leu 122, His 126. The largest side-chain movements are 1.3 A for Arg 55 and up to 0.7 A for Phe 60, Gln 63, and Trp 121. There are four direct hydrogen bonds between the CyP A and CsA. Residues 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 of CsA protrude out into the solvent and are thought to be involved in binding the effector protein, calcineurin (Pflugl, G., Kallen, J., Schirmer, T., Jansonius, J. N., Zurini, M. G. M., & Walkinshaw, M. D. (1993) Nature 361, 91-94.)
  • Function of CsA-CyP A Complex.
  • The CsA-CyP A complex inhibits the phosphatase activity of the heterodimeric protein serine/threonine phosphatase or calcineurin (Liu, J., Farmer, J. D., Lane, W. S., Friedman, L, Weissman, I., & Schreiber, S. L. (1991) Cell 66, 807-15.; Swanson, S. K., Born, T., Zydowsky, C. D., Cho, H., Chang, H. Y., & Walsh, C. T. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89, 3686-90). CyP A binds CsA with an affinity of ca 10 nM. The complex is then presented to calcineurin (Liu, J., Farmer, J. D., Lane, W. S., Friedman, J., Weissman, I., & Schreiber, S. L. (1991) Cell 66, 807-15.).
  • Calcineurin dephosphorylates the transcription factor NFAT found in the cytoplasm of T-cells. Dephosphorylation allows NFAT to translocate to the nucleus, combine with jun/fos genes and activate the transcription of the IL-2 gene responsible for cell cycle progression, leading to immune response. CsA-CyP A complex inhibits the phosphatase activity of calcineurin and ultimately immunosuppression (Etzkorn, F. A., Chang, Z, Stolz L. A., & Walsh, C. T. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 2380-2388.). Neither CsA or CyP A alone are important immunologically. Only their complex is important (Liu, J., Farmer, J. D., Lane, W. S., Friedman, J., Weissman, I., & Schreiber, S. L. (1991) Cell 66, 807-15).
  • Metabolism of Cyclosporine:
  • Cyclosporine is metabolized in liver, small intestine and kidney to more than 30 metabolites. The structure of 13 metabolites and 2 phase II metabolites have been identified and at least 23 further metabolites have been isolated by HPLC and their structures characterized by mass spectrometry. The reactions involved in phase I metabolism of cyclosporine are hydroxylation, demethylation as well as oxidation and cyclisation at amino acid 1. Several clinical studies and reports showed an association between blood concentrations of cyclosporine metabolites and neuro- or nephrotoxicity. In vitro experiments indicate that metabolites are considerably less immunosuppressive and more toxic than CsA.
  • As exemplified by the ever expanding list of indications for which CsA has been found useful, the cyclosporin family of compounds find utility in the prevention of rejection or organ and bone marrow transplants; and in the treatment of psoriasis, and a number of autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, auto immune uveitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Additional indications are discussed infra.
  • As is generally accepted by those of skill in the art, inhibition of secretion of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and other lymphokines from lymphocytes, is a useful indicator of intrinsic immunosuppressive activity of a cyclosporin analog. For a recent review of cyclosporin uses and mechanisms of action see Wenger et al Cyclosporine: Chemistry, Structure-Activity Relationships and Mode of Action, Progress in Clinical Biochemistry and Medicine, vol. 2, 176 (1986).
  • Cyclosporin A is a cyclic peptide which contains several N-methyl amino acids and, at position-8, contains a D-alanine. The structure of Cyclosporin Aa is given below: aUnless otherwise specified, each of the amino acids of the disclosed cyclosporin is of the L-configuration.
  • Figure US20090318336A1-20091224-C00001
  • As is the practice in the field, a particular cyclosporin analog may be named using a shorthand notation identifying how the analog differs from cyclosporin A. Thus, cyclosporin C which differs from cyclosporin A by the threonine at position-2 may be identified as [Thr]2 cyclosporin or [Thr]2CsA. Similarly, cyclosporin B is [Ala]2-CsA; cyclosporin D is [Val]2-CsA; cyclosporin E is [Val]11 CsA; cyclosporin F is [3-DesoxyMeBmt]1-CsA; cyclosporin G is [NVa]2-CsA, and cyclosporin H is [D-MeVal]11-CsA.
  • D-Serine and D-Threonine have been introduced into the 8-position of cyclosporin A by biosynthesis resulting in active compounds. See R. Traber et al. J. Antibiotics 42, 591 (1989). D-Chloroalanine has also been introduced into position-8 of Cyclosporin A by biosynthesis. See A. Lawen et al J. Antibiotics 52, 1283 (1989).
  • Indications for Cyclosporine Therapy
  • Immunoregulatory abnormalities have been shown to exist in a wide variety of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, biliary cirrhosis, uveitis, multiple sclerosis and other disorders such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, bullous pemphigoid, sarcoidosis, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and Graves ophthalmopathy. Although the underlying pathogenesis of each of these conditions may be quite different, they have in common the appearance of a variety of autoantibodies and self-reactive lymphocytes. Such self-reactivity may be due, in part, to a loss of the homeostatic controls under which the normal immune system operates.
  • Similarly, following a bone marrow or an organ transplantation, the host lymphocytes recognize the foreign tissue antigens and begin to produce antibodies which lead to graft rejection.
  • One end result of an autoimmune or a rejection process is tissue destruction caused by inflammatory cells and the mediators they release. Anti-inflammatory agents, such as NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-inflamatory Drugs), and corticosteroids act principally by blocking the effect of or secretion of these mediators, but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease. On the other hand, cytotoxic agents, such as cyclophosphamide, act in such a mm specific fashion that both the normal and autoimmune responses are shut off. Indeed, patients treated with such nonspecific immunosuppressive agents are as likely to succumb to infection as they are to their autoimmune disease.
  • Generally, a cyclosporin such as cyclosporine A, is not cytotoxic nor myelotoxic. It does not inhibit migration of monocytes nor does it inhibit granulocytes and macrophage action. Its action is specific and leaves most established immune responses intact. However, it is nephrotoxic and is known to cause the following undesirable side effects:
  • (1) abnormal liver function;
    (2) hirsutism;
    (3) gum hypertrophy;
    (4) tremor;
    (5) neurotoxicity;
    (6) hyperaesthesia; and
    (7) gastrointestinal discomfort.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Substitution of deuterium for ordinary hydrogen and deuterated substrates for protio metabolites can produce profound changes in biosystems. Isotopically altered drugs have shown widely divergent pharmacological effects. Pettersen et al., found increased anti-cancer effect with deuterated 5,6-benzylidene-dl-L-ascorbic acid (Zilascorb) [Anticancer Res. 12, 33 (1992)].
  • Substitution of deuterium in methyl groups of cyclosporine will result in a slower rate of oxidation of the C-D bond relative to the rate of oxidation of a non-deuterium substituted C—H bond. The isotopic effect acts to reduce formation of demethylated metabolites and thereby alters the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug. Lower rates of oxidation, metabolism and clearance result in greater and more sustained biological activity. Deuteration is targeted at various sites of the cyclosporin molecule to increase the potency of drug, reduce toxicity of the drug, reduce the clearance of the pharmacologically active moiety and improve the stability of the molecule.
  • Isotopic Substitution:
  • Stable isotopes (e.g., deuterium, 13C, 15N, 18O) are nonradioactive isotopes which contain one additional neutron than the normally abundant isotope of the respective atom. Deuterated compounds have been used in pharmaceutical research to investigate the in vivo metabolic fate of the compounds by evaluation of the mechanism of action and metabolic pathway of the non deuterated parent compound. (Blake et al. J. Pharm. Sci. 64, 3, 367-391, 1975). Such metabolic studies are important in the design of safe, effective therapeutic drugs, either because the in vivo active compound administered to the patient or because the metabolites produced from the parent compound prove to be toxic or carcinogenic (Foster et al., Advances in Drug Research Vol. 14, pp. 2-36, Academic press, London, 1985).
  • Incorporation of a heavy atom particularly substitution of deuterium for hydrogen, can give rise to an isotope effect that could alter the pharmacokinetics of the drug. This effect is usually insignificant if the label is placed at a metabolically inert position of the molecule.
  • Stable isotope labeling of a drug can alter its physico-chemical properties such as pKa and lipid solubility. These changes may influence the fate of the drug at different steps along its passage through the body. Absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion can be changed. Absorption and distribution are processes that depend primarily on the molecular size and the lipophilicity of the substance. These effects and alterations can affect the pharmacodynamic response of the drug molecule if the isotopic substitution affects a region involved in a ligand-receptor interaction.
  • Drug metabolism can give rise to large isotopic effect if the breaking of a chemical bond to a deuterium atom is the rate limiting step in the process. While some of the physical proper of a stable isotope-labeled molecule are different from those of the unlabeled one, the chemical and biological properties an the same, with one important exception: because of the increased mass of the heavy isotope, any bond involving the heavy isotope and another atom will be stronger than the same bond between the light isotope and that atom. In any reaction in which the breaking of this bond is the rate limiting step, the reaction will proceed slower for the molecule with the heavy isotope due to “kinetic isotope effect” A reaction involving breaking a C-D bond can be up to 700 percent slower than a similar reaction involving breaking a C—H bond. If the C-D bond is not involved in any of the steps leading to the metabolite, there may not be any effect to alter the behavior of the drug. If a deuterium is placed at a site involved in the metabolism of a drug, an isotope effect will be observed only if breaking of the C-D bond is the rate limiting step There is evidence to suggest that whenever cleavage of an aliphatic C—H bond occurs, usually by oxidation catalyzed by a mixed-function oxidase, replacement of the hydrogen by deuterium will lead to observable isotope effect. It is also important to understand that the incorporation of deuterium at the site of metabolism slows its rate to the point where another metabolite produced by attack at a carbon atom not substituted by deuterium becomes the major pathway a process called “metabolic switching”. It is also observed that one of the most important metabolic pathways of compounds containing aromatic systems is hydroxylation leading to a phenolic group in the 3 or 4 position to carbon substituents. Although this pathway involves cleavage of the C—H bond, it is often not accompanied by an isotope effect, because the cleavage of this bond mostly not involved in the rate limiting step. The substitution of hydrogen by deuterium at the stereo center will induce a greater effect on the activity of the drug.
  • Synthesis of Cyclosporine Derivatives:
  • The staring material for the preparation of the compounds of this invention is cyclosporine A. The process for preparing the compounds of the present invention are illustrated as shown in scheme I in FIG. 3. It will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art reviewing the synthetic route depicted below that other compounds with formula I can be synthesized by substitution of appropriate reactants and agents in the synthesis shown below.
  • The first step in the process for making deuterated cyclosporin analogs is the preparation of the key intermediate 3 and 6. This can be achieved by the oxidation of the double bond in the amino acid 1. Treatment of cyclosporin with acetic anhydride and excess of dimethylaminopyridine provided the hydroxyl protected acetyl cyclosporin. 2 Although cleavage of the double bond could then be accomplished by treatment of 2 with ozone, or KMnO4/NaIO4, it was found out that OsO4/NaIO4 was the reagent of choice for the transformation to the aldehyde product 3. The reaction was generally found to be cleaner, producing the required material and to proceed in higher yield. The drawback to this reaction is that OsO4, is expensive and highly toxic, so that its use is limited. But the results can be accomplished more economically by the use of H2O, with OsO4 present in catalytic amounts. t-butyl hydroxide in alkaline solution and N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide can be substituted for H, in this process. The aldehyde compound 3 was further treated with various deuterated alkyl or aryl triphenyl phosphonium derivatives (wittig reagents) and hydrolysis by alkaline solution provided the final derivatives (5 a-h). We also developed a general procedure to obtain various compounds as shown in Scheme II in FIG. 4.
  • In this approach, the aldehyde derivative 3 a was treated with the Wittig reagent prepared by using standard procedure. The resultant product on mild acid hydrolysis provided the key intermediate aldehyde product 6 This was further treated with second deuterated alkyl or aryl triphenylphosphonium halide reagents and on mild acid hydrolysis yielded the required products. This method provides control over the extension of the diene system. By using this approach, olefinic double bonds can be introduced step by step.
  • A third approach to prepare the deuterated compounds 5 a-h- is by heating non deuterated cyclosporin analogs described earlier, in a deuterated solvent such as deuterated water, deuterated acetic acid in the presence of acid or base catalyst.
  • Preferred cyclosporins of the present invention include those which contain a deuterium and/or a chemical substitution on amino acid 1 such as those of formula II:

  • Example 9
  • The immunosuppressive activity can be tested for cyclosporine and the disclosed cyclosporine analogs as described below. Calcineurin activity is assayed using a modification of the method previously described by Fruman et al. (A Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1992). Whole blood lysates are evaluated for their ability to dephosphorylate a 32P-labelled 19 amino acid peptide substrate in the presence of okadaic acid, a phosphatase type 1 and 2 inhibitor. Background phosphatase 2C activity (CsA and okadaic acid resistant activity) is determined and subtracted from each sample, with the assay performed in the presence and absence of excess added CsA. The man phosphatase activity is taken as calcineurin activity.
  • Example 10
  • A mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) assay is performed with cyclosporine and the disclosed cyclosporine analogs. The MLR assay is useful for identifying CsA derivatives with biological (immunosuppressive) activity and to quantify this activity relative to the immunosuppressive activity of the parent CsA molecule.
  • An example of a lymphocyte proliferation assay procedure useful for this purpose is as follows:
    • 1. Collect blood from two individuals (20 mls each) and isolate lymphocytes using Ficoll-Paque (Pharmacia Biotech).
    • 2. Count lymphocytes at 1:10 dilution in 2% acetic acid (v/v).
    • 3. Prepare 10 mls of each lymphocyte populations (A+B) at 1×106 cells/ml in DMEM/20% FCS (v/v).
    • 4. Set up a 96 well sterile tissue culture plate, flat bottom (Sarstedt, at # 83.1835). To each well add:
    • 5. Aliquot 100 μl per well lymphocyte population A
    • 6. Aliquot 100 μl per well lymphocyte population B
    • 7. Aliquot 20 μl per well of drug (CSA and CSA derivatives) at 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μg/L in triplicate in DMEM with no supplements.
    • 8. To measure the effect of drug on proliferation, incubate the plate for 5 days at 37° C. in 5% CO2 atmosphere
    • 9. On day 6, prepare 3.2 mls of 1:50 dilution of Methyl-3H-thymidine (Amershame Life Science, cat #TRK 120) in DMEM with no supplements. Add 30 μl per well and incubate for 18 hours at 37° C. in 5% CO2 atmosphere
    • 10. On day 7 cells are harvested onto glass microfiber filters GF/A (Whatman, cat #1820024) using a Cell-Harvestor (Skatron, cat #11019). Wash cells 3× with 1.0 ml sterile distilled water.
  • Note: All procedures are done using sterile techniques in a biological flow hood.
    • 11. Place filters in Scintillation vials and add 1.5 mls of SciniSafe Plus 50% scintillation fluid (Fisher, cat #SX-25-5).
    • 12. Measure the amount of radioactivity incorporated in the lymphocytes using a beta counter (Micromedic System Inc., TAURUS Automatic Liquid Scintilation Counter) for 1.0 minute.
    • 13. Calculate averages and standard deviations for each drug and express results as:
  • % Inhibition = [ 1 - Ave CPM of test drug Ave CPM of zero drug ] × 100 % Proliferation = 100 - % Inhibition
