Adriamycin analogues. rationale, synthesis, and preliminary antitumor evaluation of highly active DNA-nonbinding N-(trifluoroacetyl)adriamycin 14-O-hemiester derivatives.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1985, Volume: 28, Issue:9

    N-(Trifluoroacetyl)adriamycin 14-valerate (AD 32), a novel DNA nonbinding analogue of adriamycin with superior experimental antitumor activity, has undergone extensive clinical trial, with documentation of antitumor activity and low toxicity in human subjects. However, poor water solubility necessitates that the drug be administered to patients by continuous intravenous infusion at high dilution in a surfactant-containing formulation, with steroid prophylaxis to protect against a chest pain syndrome associated with the vehicle. On the basis of pharmacologic considerations, the title compounds have been prepared as second-generation analogues of N-(trifluoroacetyl)adriamycin 14-valerate with improved aqueous solubility; use is made of the available carboxylic acid function to solubilize the products in dilute aqueous alkaline medium. Target compounds were made by treating N-(trifluoroacetyl)-14-halodaunorubicin (bromo or iodo) with monosodium salts of dibasic acids (malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, pimelic, azelaic, sebacic) in aqueous acetone. All of the products showed significant in vivo antitumor activity against the murine P388 leukemia (ip tumor, ip treatment once daily on days 1, 2, 3, and 4); most compounds were superior to the +181% increase in life span afforded by adriamycin (optimal dose 3.0 mg/kg per day), one of two drugs used as positive controls for the assays. Several of the test compounds showed highly curative activity in this system, similar to N-(trifluoroacetyl)adriamycin 14-valerate, the other positive control agent. The hemiadipate product exhibited the most desirable properties of high antitumor efficacy (86% cure rate all P388 tumor-bearing animals through four levels of a 40-70 mg/kg dose-response range), aqueous solubility (60 mg/mL in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer), and solution stability (no decomposition at 4 degrees C, 0.5% hydrolysis at 27 degrees C, over 24 h at pH 7.4).

Adriamycin analogues. Preparation and biological evaluation of some N-perfluoroacyl analogues of daunorubicin, adriamycin, and N-(trifluoroacetyl)adriamycin 14-valerate and their 9,10-anhydro derivatives.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1982, Volume: 25, Issue:2

    The experimental and clinical antitumor activity, as well as the low toxicity, of N-(trifluoroacetyl)adriamycin 14-valerate (AD 32), a non-DNA binding anthracycline analogue, has led us to prepare and evaluate several N-perfluoroacyl analogues of daunorubicin, adriamycin, and N-(trifluoroacetyl)adriamycin 14-valerate. Target compounds were prepared by reaction of the appropriate perfluoroacyl anhydride with daunorubicin in chloroform-ether, with adriamycin in cold pyridine, and with adriamycin 14-valerate in ethyl acetate. In connection with this work, it was found that reaction of perfluoroacyl anhydrides with N-acylated or N-unsubstituted anthracyclines in pyridine at room temperature afforded with ease and in good yield the corresponding 9,10-anhydro-N-acylated derivatives. A number of products showed good to highly significant antitumor activity in vivo against the murine P388 leukemia system. However, the lack of in vivo antitumor activity of the pentafluoropropionyl and heptafluorobutyryl analogues of N-(trifluoroacetyl)adriamycin 14-valerate is noteworthy. The results continue to show that non-DNA binding anthracycline analogues can exhibit in vivo antitumor activity. Loss of the anthracycline 9-carbinol function by dehydration leads to reduction of biological activity as compared to the parent compound.
