Abstract

The active compounds correspond to the general formula I <IMAGE> in which R1 denotes an alkanoyl group or cycloalkanoyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a benzoyl group and X represents a fluorine atome, a chlorine atom or an alkanoyloxy group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms. The novel 9-fluoroprednisolone derivatives can be obtained by opening corresponding 9,11 beta -epoxy compounds with hydrogen fluoride or halogenating or esterifying corresponding 9-fluoro derivatives in the 21-position or cleaving a corresponding 17 alpha -cycloalkanecarbonyloxy compound with a trimethylsilyl halide or triphenylmethyl halide. Medicaments which contain at least one of the abovementioned compounds as an active component can be used for the treatment of inflammations.

Description

(54) DERIVATIVES OF 9-FLUOROPREDNISOLONE (71) We, SCHERING AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, a Body Corporate organised according to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, of Berlin and Bergkamen, the Federal Republic of Germany, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement :- The invention relates to derivatives of 9-fluoroprednisolone, a process for their production and pharmaceutical preparations containing these active substances.
9-Fluoroprednisolone (9a-fluoro-llp, 17a, 21-trihydroxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,2-dione) has been known for a long time. (See, for example, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 77,1955,4181). This corticoid is not a suitable active substance for pharmaceutical preparations which are used for the topical treatment of inflammatory diseases since it has very strong systemic effects.
The present invention is based on the observation that hitherto unknown derivatives of 9-fluoroprednisolone have only weak systemic action but, when administered topically, they have, surprisingly, a strong anti-inflammatory action that generally exceeds that of the most effective commercial corticoids.
The present invention provides a derivative of 9-fluoroprednisolone of the general formula (I)
wherein Rl represents a group of the general formula RCO-in which R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl or cycloakylalkyl group or an alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl group. and R, has from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or in which R represents an aryl or aralkyl group or an alkyl-substituted aryl or aralkyl group, and R, has up to 9 carbon atoms, and X represents a fluorine or chlorine atom or a group of the general formula R'COO which has from 3 to 8 carbon atoms and in which R'represents an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl group or an alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl group.
Thus, for example, R, may represent a formyl group or a alkanoyl or cycloalkanecarbonyt group having up to 8 carbon atoms or a benzoyl group or a phenylalkanoyl group having up to 9 carbon atoms, and X may represent a fluorine or chlorine atom or an alkanoyloxy or cycloalkanecarbonyloxy group having from 3 to 8 carbon atoms.
An acyl group represented by R, and an acyloxy group represented by X may be derived from a cyclic carboxylic acid or from an open-chained (straight-chained or branchedchained) carboxylic acid, such as, for example, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, trimethylacetic acid, caproic acid, t-butylacetic acid, cyclopentanecarboxylic acid, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid or caprylic acid or, in the case of R,, from formic acid, acetic acid or propionic acid.
Particularly preferred alkanoyl groups R, and alkanoyloxy groups X are those that are derived from an alkanecarboxylic acid containing up to 6 carbon atoms.
9-Fluoroprednisolone derivatives of the general formula (I) where X represents a chlorine atom are, for example: 17a-acetoxy-21-chloro-9a-fluoro-11p-hydroxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione, 21-chloro-9a-fluoro-1 lss-hydroxy-17a-propionyloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione, 17a-butyryloxy-21-chloro-9a-fluoro-11p-hydroxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione.
21-chloro-9a-fluoro-llp-hydroxy-17a-isobutyryloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione, 21-chloro-&alpha;-fluoro-11ss-hydroxy-17&alpha;-valeryloxy-1,4-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione and 17a-benzoyloxy-21-chloro-9a-fluoro-11p-hydroxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione.
9,21-Difluoroprednisolone derivatives of the general formula (I) are, for example, 17a-acetoxy-9a, 21-difluoro-1 (3-hydroxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione, 9a, 21-difluoro-llp-hydroxy-17a-propionyloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione, 17a-butyryloxy-9a, 21-difluoro-11p-hydroxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione and 9a, 21-difluoro-l1 (3-hydroxy-17a-isobutyryloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione.
9-Fluoroprednisolone derivatives of the general formula (I) with X representing a group of the formula R'COO-are preferably those in which the radicals R, and X together have 5 to 14 carbon atoms. Such fluoroprednisolone derivatives are, for example : 17a-acetoxy-9a-fluoro-11p-hydroxy-21-propionyloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione, 17a-acetoxy-21-butyryloxy-9a-fluoro-lli-hydroxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione, 17a-acetoxy-9a-fluoro-11li-hydroxy-21-isobutyryloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione, 17a-acetoxy-9a-fluoro-1 lp-hydroxy-21-valeryloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione, 21-butyryloxy-9a-fluoro-1 lss-hydroxy-17a-valeryloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione, 17a-benzoyloxy-21-butyryloxy-9a-fluoro-11p-hydroxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione, 9a-fluoro-llss-hydroxy-17a, 21-diisobutyryloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione and 9a-fluoro-llss-hydroxy-17a, 21-divaleryloxy-1, 4-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione.
The present invention also provides a process for the manufacture of the 9fluoroprednisolone derivatives of the general formula (I) wherein a) the epoxide ring of a compound of the general formula (II)
in which R, and X have the meanings given above is opened with hydrogen fluoride, or b) a 9-fluoro derivative of the general formula (III)
in which R, has the meaning given above, is halogenated or esterified in the 21-position, or c) for the production of a 9-fluoroprednisolone derivative of the general formula (I) wherein X represents a fluorine or chlorine atom, an ortho ester of the general formula (IV)
wherein R3 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group having up to 7 carbon atoms or a phenyl group and R2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, is cleaved with a trimethylsilyl halide or a triphenylmethyl halide.
The process of the invention according to process variants (a) and (b) may be carried out in a manner known per se under the conditions described in U. S. Specifications Nos.
3,678,034,3,718,671 and 3,828,083. The starting compounds for these processes may be produced under the conditions described in U. S. Specification No. 3,152,154 and in German Offenlegungsschriften Nos. 23 40 591 and 20 55 221.
The process of the invention according to process variant (a) may likewise be carried out under conditions known per se preferably by reacting a compound of general formula (II) with hydrogen fluoride contained in an inert solvent. Suitable inert solvents are, for example, ethers (e. g. diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or pyridine) and chlorinated hydrocarbons (e. g. methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloroethane).
The process of the invention according to process variant (b) may likewise be carried out under conditions known per se.
Thus, for example, a hydroxy steroid of the general formula (III) may be esterified with an acyl chloride or acid anhydride in the presence of an acid, such as, for example, hydrogen chloride, p-toluenesulphonic acid or trifluoroacetic acid, or in the presence of a base such, for example, as potassium carbonate, pyridine, collidine, or p dimethylaminopyridine.
A preferred method of chlorinating a compound of the general formula (III) comprises esterifying the 21-hydroxy group with a sulphonic acid, preferably with methanesulphonic acid or p-toluenesulphonic, and then exchanging the sulphonic acid group for chlorine. The 21-hydroxy group is esterified, for example, by causing a sulphonic acid chloride to act on the compound of formula (III) in the presence of an organic base, such, for example, as pyridine, or in the presence of an aqueous alkali. The sulphonic acid group is exchanged for a chlorine atoms preferably by reacting the 21-sulphonic acid ester with alkali metal chloride such as, for example, lithium chloride, in the presence of a polar solvent such, for example, as dimethylformamide.
The process of the invention according to process variant (c) may likewise be carried out under conditions known per se.
The cleavage of an ortho ester of the general formula (IV) is preferably effected with trimethylsilyl fluoride, trimethylsilyl chloride or triphenylmethyl chloride, advantageously in a inert solvent such, for example, as a dipolar aprotic solvent (e. g. dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulphoxide or hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide), an ether (e. g. diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxan or glycol dimethyl ether), a chlorinated hydrocarbon (e. g. methylene chloride, chloroform or tetrachlor- oethane), a hydrocarbon (e. g. benzene, toluene or cyclohexane) or a mixture of any two or more of these solvents.
The starting compound for the process according to the invention can thus be produced in a simple manner and with high yields from prednisolone which can itself be synthesised relative easily from diosgenin. The result of this is that compounds of the invention can be produced from diosgenin at relative low expenditure and with a total yield of approximately 15 %. In contrast, the syntheses of the known highly effective corticoids from diosgenin require considerably more expenditure and the total yields obtained are significantly lower (approximately 0.5 to 5 %). In view of the growing difficulties in obtaining a sufficient quantity of suitable starting materials for the corticoid syntheses and with regard to the high cost of active substances, which is the disadvantage of corticoid-containing medicament specialities, this is not without significance.
As already mentioned, when the compounds of the invention are administered topically they have a very strong anti-inflammatory activity but have only weak action when administered systemically.
The anti-inflammatory activity was determined as follows: A hyperaemia was produced on human skin in the following manner.
Part of the Stratccm corneum on the backs of male and female volunteers was stripped off by applying and tearing off 20 times from the same place a portion of"Tesa" (Registered Trade Mark) self-adhesive tape 2 cm wide and a pronounced hyperaemia was thus produced. c2 Approximately 50 mg of the ointment preparations were applied to marked 4 zones inside the stripped area.
In order to obtain comparable starting values relative numbers were used since the colour of the untreated skin, as also the reddening of the hyperaemic area, differs from case to case.
The colour value of the untreated skin was set at 100 and that of the stripped skin at 0.
The skin colour value of the skin under vasoconstriction (100) was determined on a relative scale.
Relatively slight, average and a high degree of vasoconstriction were rated accordingly between 0 and 100.
The average values, which were derived from investigations of the various test persons and from various regions of the back, are given in the following Table A.
The systemic activity of the compounds was determined using the adjuvant-oedema test as follows : SPF rats weighing 130 to 150 g were injected in the right hind leg with 0.1 ml of a 0.5 % Mycobnereriam btyricum suspension (obtainable from the American firm Difko) in order to produce a focus of inflammation. The volume of the rats'legs was measured before injection and again 24 hours after injection to determine the extent of the oedema.
Different quantities of the test substance were then administered orally to the rats. After a further 24 hours the volume of the legs was determined once again.
From the leg volumes obtained the quantity of test substance necessary to achieve 50 % healing of the oedema in the leg was determined in the normal manner.
The results obtained in the tests are given in the following Table A: TABLE A Vasoconstriction test No. Substance Concentra- Results after Adjuvant-oedema test tion % 4 hours 8 hours ED50 I 6&alpha;,9&alpha;-Difluoro-11ss-hydroxy- 0.1 % 58 68 21-valeryloxy-1,4-pregnadiene- 0.001 % 54 66 0.04 mg/kg 3,20-dione(=Diflucortolone- 0.00001 % 32 36 valerate) II 21-Acetoxy-9&alpha;-fluoro-11ss- 0.1 % 55 66 hydroxy-17&alpha;-valeryloxy-1,4- 0.001% 52 63 3.8 mg/kg pregnadiene-3,20-dione 0.00001 % 31 42 (DOS 20 55 221) III 17&alpha;-Acetoxy-9&alpha;-fluoro-11ss- 0.1 % 67 78 hydroxy-21-hexanoyloxy-1,4- 0.001 % 60 74 7.7 mg/kg pregnadiene-3,20-dione 0.00001 % 23 36 IV 71&alpha;-Acetoxy-9&alpha;-fluoro-11ss- 0.1 % 57 74 hydroxy-21-trimethylacetoxy-1,4- 0.001 % 57 68 7.0 mg/kg pregnadiene-3,20-dione 0.00001 % 33 42 V 9&alpha;-Fluoro-11ss-hydroxy-17&alpha;,21- 0.1 % 65 83 dipropionyloxy-1,4-pregnadiene- 0.001 % 58 76 5.0 mg/kg 3,20-dione 0.00001 % 39 47 TABLE A (continued) Vasoconstriction tes No. Sbstance Concentra- Results after Adjuvat-oedema test tion % 4 hours 8 hours ED50 VI 21-Butyryloxy-9&alpha;-fluoro-11ss-hy- 0.1 % 62 83 droxy-17&alpha;-propionyloxy-1,4- 0.001% 58 76 5.7 mg/kg pregnadiene-3,20-dione 0.00001 % 43 47 VII 9&alpha;-fluoro-11ss-hydroxy-17&alpha;- 0.1 % 60 75 propionyloxy-21-valeryloxy- 0.001 % 57 76 6.0 mg/kg 1,4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione 0.00001 % 04 43 VIII 17&alpha;-Benzoyloxy-9&alpha;-fluoro-11ss- 0.1 % 62 78 hydroxy-21-propionyloxy-1,4- 0.001 % 59 70 over 10 mg/kg pregnadiene-3,20-dione 0.00001 % 40 43 IX 17&alpha;-Benzoyloxy-21-butyrloxy- 0.1 % 68 82 9&alpha;-fluoro-11ss-hydroxy-1,4-pregna- 0.001 % 67 80 over 10 mg/kg diene-3,20-dione X 17&alpha;-Benzoyloxy-21-chloro-9&alpha;- 0.1 % 60 72 fluoro-11ss-hydroxy-1,4-pregna- 0.001 % 56 64 over 10 mg/kg diene-3,20-dione 0.00001 % 43 45 Similar results are obtained if the systemic activity of the 9-fluoroprednisolone derivatives according to the invention is determined using the known thymolysis test or the known sodium/potassium retention test.
In combination with the carriers conventionally used in galenical pharmacy compounds of the invention are suitable for the local treatment of contact dermatitis, eczemas of the most varied types, neurodermatoses, erythrodermia, burns, Pruritis vulvae et ani, rosacea, Erthematodes cutaneus, psoriasis, Lichen ruber planus et verrucosus and similar skin diseases.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a pharmaceutical preparation which comprises a compound of the general formula (I), in admixture or conjunction with a pharmaceutically suitable carrier.
The pharmaceutical preparations may be produced in a conventional manner by converting the active substances with suitable additives into the desired form of administration, such as, for example, solutions, lotions, ointments, creams or plasters.
