Problems solved by technology

A general weakness with many drugs, including nucleoside analogues, is low activity and inferior specificity for treatment of the actual disease in question.
Some of these problems may be related to the inherent activity of the drug substance itself, some may be related to certain resistance mechanisms (either inherent in the patient or acquired during treatment e.g. MDR in cancer treatment).
Some problems may be related to certain inferior transport or cellular uptake and activation mechanisms.
Some problems may be related to rapid inactivation and / or excretion of the drug.
Yet another activity limiting factor, particularly within the anti cancer field, are the cellular repair mechanisms.
Despite this fact, ACV is not a particularly active product.

example 1

[0022] The breast cancer cell line MaTu was seeded, 5×103 cells per well, in 96-well-plates. The medium was RMPI 1640 with 2 mM Glutamine and 10% Foetal Bovine Serum. 24 hours later the test compounds were added in 6 concentrations. The cells were incubated for 4 days. The MTT solution was added to each well and incubated for 4 hours. The samples were read by an ELISA reader at 540 nm. The IC50 values were determined from growth curves. The test compounds were troxacitabine elaidic amid, troxacitabine petroselaidoate, troxacitabine-petroselaidic amide and troxacitabine γ-linolenoate. Surprisingly the activity of troxacitabine petroselaidoate and petroselaidic amide was 20 fold more active than troxacitabine elaidic amid.

[0023] The human breast carcinoma cancer cell line MaTu and the adriamycin resistant cell line MaTu / ADR were seeded, 5×103 cells per well, in 96-well-plates. The medium was RMPI 1640 with 2 mM Glutamine and 10% Foetal Bovine Serum. 24 hours later the test compounds were added in a final volume of 20 μl to the cells, in six different concentrations. The cells were incubated for 4 days. MTT solution was added to each well and incubated for 4 hours. The samples were read by an ELISA reader at 540 nm. The IC50 values were determined from growth curves. The resistance factor is the IC50 in MaTu / Adr vs. IC50 in MaTu. The test compounds were troxacitabine-elaidic amide and troxacitabine-petroselinic amide. Surprisingly we found the troxacitabine-petroselinic amide to be independent of the adriamycin resistance, with a resistance factor of 1.0, compared to 5.8 for troxacitabine-elaidic amide.

Troxacitabine N4-elaidic Acid Amide (Comparative Compound)

[0024] Troxacitabine (150 mg, 0.70 mmol), TEA (0.1 ml, 0.74 mmol) and DMAP (90 mg, 0.74 mmol) in dry DCM / DMF (5 ml / 2 ml) was added elaidoyl chloride in DCM (5 ml). The acid chloride was prepared from elaidic acid (209 mg, 0.74 mmol), oxalyl chloride (0.4 ml, 2.96 mmol) and DMF (catalytic amount) in toluene (10 ml) by stirring at ambient temperature for 2 h and then evaporated to dryness. After stirring for 22 h at room temperature a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl was added and the phases separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with DCM (3×), and the combined organic extracts were washed with saturated brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuuo. The product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with MeOH / DCM (25:975) followed by MeOH / DCM (5:95) to give 208 mg (62%) of the desired product as colourless crystals.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to certain unsaturated fatty acid derivatives of therapeutically active 1,3-dioxolane nucleoside analogues and to pharmaceutical formulations containing them. The said derivatives are referred to as “Compounds of formula I” herein. Compounds of formula I can be used in the treatment of a cancerous disease. Treatment of both solid tumours and haematological cancers such as leukaemias, lymphomas and multiple myelomas are included. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND [0002] Nucleoside analogues, the derivatives of the natural nucleosides found as building blocks of DNA and RNA, are effective in the clinical treatment of human cancer or viral diseases, although in the early years such compounds were evaluated as antituberculosis agents. Such compounds have been registered in the market for more than 40 years, and approximately 35 products are currently in daily use. The natural nucleosides illustrated in the figure below, are constructed from two classe...
