Benefits of technology

[0051] An object of the present invention is to provide new cyclosporine analogs which have enhanced efficacy and altered pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cyclosporine analog for the care of immunoregulatory disorders and diseases, including the prevention, control and treatment thereof. An additional object of the present invention is to provide pharmaceutical compositions for administering to a patient in need of the treatment one or more of the active immunosuppressive agents of the present invention. Still a further object of this invention is to provide a method of controlling graft rejection, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases by administering a sufficient amount of one or more of the novel immunosuppressive agents in a mammalian species in need of such treatment. Finally, it is the object of this invention to provide processes for the preparation of the active compounds of the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

Anti-inflammatory agents, such as NSAID's (Non-Stcroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs), and cotticosteroids act principally by blocking the effect of, or secretion of, these mediators, but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease.
However, it is nephrotoxic and is known to cause the following undesirable side effects:

[0075]

[0076] To a stirred solution of cyclosporine 1(1.01 g, 0.84 mmol) in acetic anhydride (20 mL) at room temperature was added DMAP (150 mg, 1.23 mmol, 1.5 eq). After stirring overnight, the reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc (50 ml) and water (25 ml). The separated EtOAc layer was then washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO.sub.4) and the solvent removed in vacuo to give the crude product as a glassy solid. Purification by flash chromatography through a short column of silica (2% MeOH / DCM) and lyophilisation from benzene yielded 2 (1.044 g, 0.84 mmol, quant.) as a fluffy, colourless solid; [.alpha.].sub.D.sup.25 -305.7 (c. 0.3, CHCl.sub.3); .nu..sub.max (CHCl.sub.3 cast) / cm.sup.-1 3328 m, 2963m, 1746 m, 1627 s, 1528 m, 1472 m, 1233 m; .delta..sub.u (600MHz, C.sub.6D.sub.6) 8.73 (1H, d,J=9.5Hz, NH), 8.30 (1H, d,J=7.0Hz, NH), 7.92 (1H, d,J=7.5Hz, NH), 7.49 (1H, d,J=7.5Hz, NH), 6.05 (1H, d,J=11.5Hz), 5.88 (1H, dd,J=3.5, 11.5Hz), 5.82 (1H, d,J=11.5Hz), ...

Abstract

Cyclosporine derivatives are disclosed which possess enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity over naturally occurring and other presently known cyclosporins and cyclosporine derivatives. The cyclosporine 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. Also disclosed are methods of producing the cyclosporine derivatives and method of producing immunosuppression with reduced toxicity with the disclosed cyclosporine derivatives.

Description

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND[0001] 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:[0002] 1. Chemical substitution and optionally deuterium substitution of amino acid 1: and[0003] 2. Deuterium substitution at key sites of metabolism of the cyclosporine A molecule such as amino acids 1, 4, 9.[0004] The cyclosporins are a family of, neutral, hydrophobic cyclic undecapeptides, containing a novel nine-carbon anmino acid (MeBmt) at position 1 of the ring that exhibit potent immunosuppressive, antiparatitic, fungicidal, and chronic anti-inflammatory properties. The naturally occurring members of this family of structurally related compounds are produced by various fungi imperfecti. Cyclosp...
