93 results about "Anthracycline Antibiotics" patented technology

The present invention discloses new and novel substituted anthracyclines with modified alkyl-aromatic ring substitutions on the C-3′ of the sugar moiety or modified or unmodified alkyl-aromatic ring substitutions at the C-4′ of the sugar moiety. It also discloses novel methods for the preparation of sugar substrates and methods for the preparation of anthracycline antibiotics. These anthracycline analogs show high cytotoxicity in vitro against several tumor cell lines.

A method of synthesizing R1, R2-substituted-4′ (ax. or eq.)-OH anthracyclines and their corresponding salts of Formula (1) from daunorubicin or N-Trifluoroacetyl-4-R1-derivatives of daunorubicin, wherein R1 is defined as H, OH, and 4′-HO is defined as ax[ial]. The method includes producing N-Trifluoroacetyl daunorubicin and treating the N-Trifluoroacetyldaunorubicin or N-Trifluoroacetyl-4-R1-derivatives of daunorubicin, wherein R1 is defined as H, OH, with dimethylsulfoxide activated by different acylating agents. The attained intermediate product is then treated with a strong base (ex. tertiary amines) resulting in the 4′-keto-N-Trifluoroacetyl-4-R1 daunorubicin wherein R1 is defined as H, OH, OMe. The 4′-keto-N-Trifluoroacetyl-4-R1-daunorubicin is reacted with a reducing agent, a derivative of a borohydride of an alkaline metal MHBL3 , to produce N-Trifluoroacetyl-4′-epi-4-R1-daunorubicin. The N-Trifluoroacetyl-4′-epi-4-R1-daunorubicin undergoes hydrolysis in a basic solution to produce a derivate of an anthoacyclin which is halogenized [by complex halogenides] to form a 14-Hal-derivative. This result is then hydrolyzed by well-known methods in the presence of a formate of an alkaline metal to form the desired final compound.

The invention discloses an application of anthracene nucleus antibiotic and its pharmaceutical salt for treating neovascular glaucoma. The invention found that the anthracene nucleus antibiotic and its pharmaceutical salt have good effect on treatment of r neovascular glaucoma, and especially the anthracene nucleus antibiotics can be prepared to prolonged action preparations such as a nano preparation, a microballoon preparation, liposome and hydrogel, the toxicity of anthracene nucleus antibiotic is reduced, and the anthracene nucleus antibiotic enables ophthalmic administration, administration dosage is simultaneously enlarged, the duration time of drug effect is long, the medicament curative effect is stronger than that of the common preparations of the anthracene nucleus antibiotic, when the ophthalmic administration is carried out, the anthracene nucleus antibiotic has good treatment effect for treating retinal vein occlusion, and the blank that no medicine is good for treating neovascular glaucoma can be filled.

A method for the aralkylation of anthracyclins by utilizing an aralkylating agent R3-CH2X (for example, BnBr) in accordance with the reaction pathway describe by the scheme shown in FIG. 1. The present invention recognizes that 4-R1, 3′-N3-Daunomycines are suitable substrates for selective 4′-O-benzylation, yielding 4-R1, 3′-N3-4′-O-Aralkyl-Daunorubicines (in particular, 4′-O-Bn-Daunomycines). Thus, the present invention provides a pathway for a simple production of 4′-O-aralkylated derivatives of anthracyclines which can be effectively used to produce anthracyclines.
