Synthesis of New Lipophilic Phosphonate and Phosphonamidate Analogues of N-Acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine Related to LK 423

Abstract

A syntheses of three new muramyl dipeptide (MDP) analogues related to LK 423 as potential immunomodulators are presented. The dipeptide part of the lead compound was modified by introducing a phosphonamide isostere instead of the amide bond between L-alanine and D-glutamic acid (or D-isoglutamine), yielding new MDP analogues 5 and 9. Furthermore, the amide bond between L-Ala and D-Glu was replaced by a phosphonate isostere, giving peptidyl phosphonate 14. The scope and limitations of the synthetic strategies employed are discussed.

Introduction

Bacterial cell wall components like proteoglycans, lipopolysaccharides and lipoproteins possess strong immunostimulating activities. Since 1974 N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (muramyl dipeptide, MDP, Figure 1) has been known as the smallest immunologically active fragment of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan [1]. As MDP is one of the most potent immunostimulants, many of its derivatives and analogues have been synthesized and evaluated biologically in order to obtain new molecules with improved pharmacological properties [2]. Recently the lipophilic MDP derivative N²-[N-(acetylmuramyl)-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl]-N⁶-stearoyl-L-lysine (rumortide) was introduced for the treatment of radiotherapy-induced leukopenia [2,3]. While most of the MDP analogs synthesized so far possess an intact dipeptide L-Ala-D-Glu-NH₂ or L-Ala-D-Glu moiety, it has been generally accepted that the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine fragment is not essential for the immunomodulating activity of this class of compounds [4,5,6]. Replacement of the N-acetylmuramyl moiety with various acyl groups thus represents an important approach in the design and synthesis of new immunologically active MDP analogues, as demonstrated by FK-156 [7], pimelautide [8], 7-(oxoacyl)-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamines [9], some carbocyclic MDP analogues [10,11], and by the adamantyl-substituted MDP analogue LK 415 [12].

In the search for new lipophilic MDP analogues some phthalimido desmuramyl dipeptides were synthesized whose N-acetylmuramic acid part was replaced by different N-phthaloylated amino acids [13,14]. The most promising compound in this series was LK 423 (Figure 1), which exhibited some interesting immunomodulating activities. It was found to augment the capacity to produce interleukin-10 in the spleen cells of cyclophosphamide-treated mice [15], and it alleviated the dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in rodents [16]. LK 423 is thus a candidate substance to be developed as an anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical agent [16]. The compound was also able to stimulate the production of tumor necrosis factor in in vitro phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and ionomycin-stimulated cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells [17].

Recently we have been interested in the synthesis of new MDP analogues related to LK 423. To obtain more information about structure-activity relationships, we modified the peptide backbone of phthalimido desmuramyl dipeptides by introducing various phosphorus-containing species. We replaced the amide bond at the end of the acyclic side chain by phosphonamidate ethyl ester [18] and by the phosphinamide moiety [19]. We have also replaced the amide bond between Ala and Glu by phosphonamidate methyl ester [19], and the γ-carboxylic group of Glu by diethyl phosphonate isostere [20]. Stimulated by the results of preliminary immunological tests of selected phosphorus MDP analogues [17], we present the syntheses of three new phosphapeptides related to LK 423, whose amide bonds between L-alanyl and D-glutamate moieties are replaced by phosphonamidate and phosphonate bonds, respectively. In order to increase the lipophilicity of novel desmuramyl dipeptides, the target compounds are in the form of either methyl or benzyl esters.

Results and Discussion

The synthesis of the phosphonamidate MDP analogue 5 was carried out from methyl (1R,S)-1-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl)aminoethyl phosphonate (1) [21] according to Scheme 1. Methyl D-isoglutaminate hydrochloride (2) was prepared from D-glutamic acid as described for the corresponding benzyl ester [22]. Monomethyl phosphonate 1 was coupled with compound 2 using diphenylphosphorylazide (DPPA) as a coupling reagent, giving a protected phosphadipeptide 3 in a moderate, but satisfactory yield. We were unable to couple compounds 1 and 2 using the oxalyl chloride method, the most commonly employed method in the synthesis of phosphonamidates [23], probably due to poor solubility of hydrochloride 2 in dichloromethane. The Z protecting group was removed by catalytic hydrogenation in a Parr hydrogenator and the free amine obtained was used immediately in the coupling reaction with 2-(2-phthalimidoethoxy)acetic acid (4) [24], affording the target phosphonamidate 5.

The lipophilic phosphonamidate MDP analogue 9 was prepared according to Scheme 2. The starting compound 1 was hydrogenated over Pd/C to remove the Z protecting group, and the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group was introduced to give methyl (1R,S)-1-(N-(9-fluorenyl-methoxycarbonyl)amino)ethyl phosphonate (6) [25]. Monomethyl phosphonate 6 was then coupled with dibenzyl D-glutamate p-toluenesulfonate [26] using the acid chloride method [23] to yield the triple-protected phosphadipeptide 7. After selectively removing the Fmoc protecting group with diethylamine the phosphonamidate 9 was obtained by coupling of the free amine with 5-phthalimido-pentanoic acid 8 [27].

In order to prepare the phosphonamidate muramyl dipeptide analogue 10 that closely resembles LK 423, we wanted to remove the benzyl protecting groups of the D-Glu moiety. However, catalytic hydrogenation of compound 9 over Pd/C in methanol yielded a heterogeneous mixture, from which we were able to isolate only phosphonic acid 11, recently synthesized by us from 5-phthalimidopentanoic acid and phosphonoalanine [28]. It is well known that phosphonamidates are unstable under acidic conditions [29]. To overcome this problem, the use of so called »capped« phosphonamidates (phosphonamidate esters), reported to be stable in acidic aqueous media, was suggested [30]. However, in our hands phosphonamidate methyl ester 9 decomposed even during mild catalytic hydrogenation. We could observe similar decomposition during our efforts to either hydrolytically or acidolytically deprotect closely related phosphonamidate methyl esters, bearing methyl, ethyl or tert-butyl protection on the C-terminal D-Glu residue [19]. Hence, we can conclude that the stability of phosphonamide bond depends strongly on the chemical structure of phosphonamidate ester pseudopeptide under investigation. The target phosphonate MDP analogue 14 was synthesized according to previously described strategies for the assembly of phosphapeptides [31].

Mixed phosphonate 13 was obtained after condensation of monomethyl phosphonate 1 with (2S)-2-hydroxyglutaric acid dimethyl ester (12) [32] in the presence of the BOP reagent [33]. Catalytic hydrogenation in a Parr apparatus furnished the free amine, which was finally acylated with 2-(2-phthalimidoethoxy)acetic acid (4) (Scheme 3).

In all syntheses we used readily available racemic methyl phosphonoalaninate 1 as a starting material. It is well known that during the preparation of either phosphonamidate or phosphonate bond a racemic mixture is formed on new stereogenic centre – phosphorus atom [23]. Hence, all target compounds were syntetized as mixtures of four diastereomers. In Figure 2 all diastereomers of the target phosphonate 14 are presented.

Conclusions

In summary, we present the synthesis of three new phosphorus desmuramyldipeptides related to LK 423. Efforts to separate mixtures of diastereomers and to evaluate each isomer in an in vitro immunological test are underway and will be published elsewhere. The immunological activities of these compounds will provide important information about the effects of the replacement of the planar peptide bond between Ala and Glu moieties with tetrahedral phosphonate and phosphonamidate esters to the activity of the series of phthalimido desmuramyldipeptides.
