Full Text	ANTIFUNGAL TRIAZOLE DERIVATIVES Technical Field The present invention relates to novel antifungal triazole derivaties, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, preparation methods therefor, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same. Background Art Patients who undergo chemical therapy for cancer, who receive organ implants, or who have HIV or AIDS are at a great risk of fungal infection, mostly with opportunistic pathogens, such as Candida spp., Aspergillus spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans. The antifungals available in the market suffer with drawbacks such as toxicity and narrow spectrum of activity. As patients who become "immunocompromised" are currently increasing in number and contract serious fungal infections, there is an increasing demand for antifungal agents that have excellent inherent pharmacokinetic characteristics and potent inhibitory activities against a broad range of fungi. A number of derivatives having antifungal activity is known and has been developed for the treatment of mammals, including humans, infected with fungi. For example, orally c i administrable triazole derivatives were reported in the late 1980s, and are represented by Fluconazole (UK Pat. No. 2099818), Itraconazole (US Pat. No. 4,267,179) and particularly, Voriconazole (EU Pat. No. 0440372) . None of them, however, show remarkable inhibitory activity against some of the opportunistic fungi which cause fatal infections in patients having decreased immunity. Many of the antifungal agents which have been developed or are now under study are found to have additional heterocyclic substituents in addition to triazole. For instance, fluconazole has five-membered heterocyclic ring, while a six-membered heterocyclic ring is contained in voriconazole. In addition, isoxazole (EU Pat. No. 0241232, Shionogi Co.) and triazolone (EU Pat. No. 0659751, Takeda Co.) have respectively five-membered heterocyclic rings. In addition, bicyclic heterogroups are found in quinazolinone (Korean Pat. Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-0075809, Uriach Co.), quinoline (Korean Pat. Laid- Open Publication No. 1996-7003895, Fujisawa Co.), benzotriazole (US Pat. No. 5,648,372, Eisai Co), benzimidazole (Chinese Pat. No. 1081189), and indole (US Pat. Publication No. 2004/67998). Disclosure of the Invention One object of the present invention is to provide triazole derivatives having antifungal activity, isomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and a method for the preparation thereof.

Individual single colonies of the yeast fungi selected out of the cultured strains were suspended in 5 ml of 0.85 % sterile saline, followed by correction to adjust the absorbance thereof at 530 nm to 0.108. The suspensions were diluted serially by 1:50 and then 1:20 in RPMI 1640 media to prepare liquid inocula ranging in cell count from l.OxlO3 to 5.0χl03 CFU/ml. As for filamentous fungi, their spores were suspended in 0.85 % sterile saline and the suspensions were corrected with sterile saline to show optical transmittance at 530 nm of 80 to 82%. A dilution of 1:50 was made with RPMI 1640 media to prepare liquid inocula having cell counts from 0.4*102 to 5χlO4 CFU/ml. Antifungal samples were prepared by diluting the compounds of the present inventions in RPMI 1640 media to serial concentrations from 0.0625 to 32 μg/ml. As a vehicle, DMSO was contained in a final concentration of 1 % (V/V) in the antifungal samples. 0.1 ml of each of the dilutions in series was added to equal volume of each of the fungal inocula. At the concentrations provided, the fungi were observed with the naked eye for the growth of all yeasts except for Cryptococcus neoformans after 24 hours, and for the growth of filamentous fungi after 48 hours, and as well as using the growth indicator alamarBlue, concentrations of the compounds at which 90% of the fungi were inhibited compared to the negative control were determined. All tests were conducted in duplicate for each test group, and the results are given in Table 10, below. TABLE 10 In vitro Assay for Antifungal Activity (MICgo μg/ml) TEST EXAMPLES 2: In Vivo Assay for Antifungal Activity Azole compounds synthesized in Examples in accordance with the present invention were assayed for antifungal activity in vivo. Candida albicans (ATCC 36082) was grown in YM broth on a rotary shaker (200 rpm, 260C) for about 12 hours to a concentration of 2.5xlO7 CFU/ml and used to infect ICR mice at a dose of 0.2 ml/head via caudal veins. Suspensions or solutions of the azole compounds in a 25% beta-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose base were orally administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg to respective infected ICR mice in groups of 10, the condition and body weights of the mice were monitored, and autopsies were finally conducted. For a negative control, the vehicle alone was used while fluconazole was administered to a positive control . The mice were inoculated once with the fungal preparation on the day of commencement of the administration. The test materials of interest and the positive control material were orally administered to the inoculated mice once a day for seven days from day 0 to day 6, with the first oral administration made five hours after the fungal inoculation (day 0) . The periods of time for which the infected mice lived were counted. The number of mice which survived the fungal infection for 21 days following the inoculation was represented as % survival for each test group, and the results are given in Table 11, below. All members of the negative control were dead 8 days after the fungal infection, while all of the groups administered with Compound 50 were dead 18 days after the fungal infection.

HepG2 cells were aliquoted at a population of 5xlO4 counts per well of 96- well plates and grown at 370C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 1 day. The culture medium in each well was replaced with a fresh medium containing the compounds of interest, followed by overnight incubation in the incubator. Following the addition of 100 μl of a 100 μg/ml Neutral red solution into each well, the cells were stained for 3 hours in the incubator and fixed in 1% formaldehyde with 1% CaCl2. The cells were destained in 1% glacial acetic acid plus 50% ethanol, followed by measurement for absorbance at 540 nm. Cytotoxicity was expressed as percentages of optical density relative to that of the control, treated with none of the compounds. All tests were conducted in triplicate for each group, and the results are given in Table 12, below.

ANTIFUNGAL TRIAZOLE DERIVATIVES

Technical Field

The present invention relates to novel antifungal triazole derivaties, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, preparation methods therefor, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same.

Background Art

Patients who undergo chemical therapy for cancer, who receive organ implants, or who have HIV or AIDS are at a great risk of fungal infection, mostly with opportunistic pathogens, such as Candida spp., Aspergillus spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans. The antifungals available in the market suffer with drawbacks such as toxicity and narrow spectrum of activity. As patients who become "immunocompromised" are currently increasing in number and contract serious fungal infections, there is an increasing demand for antifungal agents that have excellent inherent pharmacokinetic characteristics and potent inhibitory activities against a broad range of fungi. A number of derivatives having antifungal activity is known and has been developed for the treatment of mammals, including humans, infected with fungi. For example, orally

c i

administrable triazole derivatives were reported in the late 1980s, and are represented by Fluconazole (UK Pat. No. 2099818), Itraconazole (US Pat. No. 4,267,179) and particularly, Voriconazole (EU Pat. No. 0440372) . None of them, however, show remarkable inhibitory activity against some of the opportunistic fungi which cause fatal infections in patients having decreased immunity.

Many of the antifungal agents which have been developed or are now under study are found to have additional heterocyclic substituents in addition to triazole. For instance, fluconazole has five-membered heterocyclic ring, while a six-membered heterocyclic ring is contained in voriconazole. In addition, isoxazole (EU Pat. No. 0241232, Shionogi Co.) and triazolone (EU Pat. No. 0659751, Takeda Co.) have respectively five-membered heterocyclic rings.

TEST EXAMPLE 1: Assay for Antifungal Activity

Fungal strains to be tested were inoculated onto Sabouraud dextrose agar, YM agar, and potato dextrose agar

and cultured at 350C for two to three days. Individual single colonies of the yeast fungi selected out of the cultured strains were suspended in 5 ml of 0.85 % sterile saline, followed by correction to adjust the absorbance thereof at 530 nm to 0.108. The suspensions were diluted serially by 1:50 and then 1:20 in RPMI 1640 media to prepare liquid inocula ranging in cell count from l.OxlO3 to 5.0χl03 CFU/ml. As for filamentous fungi, their spores were suspended in 0.85 % sterile saline and the suspensions were corrected with sterile saline to show optical transmittance at 530 nm of 80 to 82%. A dilution of 1:50 was made with RPMI 1640 media to prepare liquid inocula having cell counts from 0.4*102 to 5χlO4 CFU/ml.

Antifungal samples were prepared by diluting the compounds of the present inventions in RPMI 1640 media to serial concentrations from 0.0625 to 32 μg/ml. As a vehicle, DMSO was contained in a final concentration of 1 % (V/V) in the antifungal samples. 0.1 ml of each of the dilutions in series was added to equal volume of each of the fungal inocula.

At the concentrations provided, the fungi were observed with the naked eye for the growth of all yeasts except for Cryptococcus neoformans after 24 hours, and for the growth of filamentous fungi after 48 hours, and as well as using the growth indicator alamarBlue, concentrations of the compounds at which 90% of the fungi were inhibited

compared to the negative control were determined.

All tests were conducted in duplicate for each test group, and the results are given in Table 10, below.

TABLE 10 In vitro Assay for Antifungal Activity (MICgo μg/ml)

TEST EXAMPLES 2: In Vivo Assay for Antifungal Activity

Azole compounds synthesized in Examples in accordance with the present invention were assayed for antifungal activity in vivo. Candida albicans (ATCC 36082) was grown

in YM broth on a rotary shaker (200 rpm, 260C) for about 12 hours to a concentration of 2.5xlO7 CFU/ml and used to infect ICR mice at a dose of 0.2 ml/head via caudal veins. Suspensions or solutions of the azole compounds in a 25% beta-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose base were orally administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg to respective infected ICR mice in groups of 10, the condition and body weights of the mice were monitored, and autopsies were finally conducted. For a negative control, the vehicle alone was used while fluconazole was administered to a positive control . The mice were inoculated once with the fungal preparation on the day of commencement of the administration. The test materials of interest and the positive control material were orally administered to the inoculated mice once a day for seven days from day 0 to day 6, with the first oral administration made five hours after the fungal inoculation (day 0) . The periods of time for which the infected mice lived were counted.

The number of mice which survived the fungal infection for 21 days following the inoculation was represented as % survival for each test group, and the results are given in Table 11, below. All members of the negative control were dead 8 days after the fungal infection, while all of the groups administered with Compound 50 were dead 18 days after the fungal infection.

Test Example 3: Assay for Cytotoxicity in Human Hepatocytes

The azole compounds synthesized in Examples in accordance with the present invention were assayed in vitro for cytotoxicity in human hepatocytes. HepG2 cells were aliquoted at a population of 5xlO4 counts per well of 96- well plates and grown at 370C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 1 day. The culture medium in each well was replaced with a fresh medium containing the compounds of interest, followed by overnight incubation in the incubator. Following the addition of 100 μl of a 100 μg/ml Neutral red solution into each well, the cells were stained for 3 hours in the incubator and fixed in 1% formaldehyde with 1% CaCl2. The cells were destained in 1% glacial acetic acid plus 50% ethanol, followed by measurement for absorbance at 540 nm. Cytotoxicity was expressed as percentages of optical density relative to that of the control, treated with none of the compounds. All tests were conducted in triplicate for each group, and the results are given in Table 12, below.

TEST EXAMPLE 4: Assay for Acute Cytotoxicity

From acute cytotoxicity tests using suspensions of compounds 50, 60, 234, 245, and 310 according to the present invention in an aqueous 25% beta-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose base or polyethylene glycol 400, mice were observed to suffer from no toxic syndromes, including severe changes to living states and organs, to a dose of 1000 mg/kg for two weeks upon oral administration.

Industrial Applicability

As described hereinbefore, the triazole derivatives represented by Chemical Formula 1 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are very useful as active ingredients for antifungal agents because they have excellent inhibitory activity against a broad spectrum of fungi and show far higher therapeutic effects on fungal infection and far lower hepatotoxicity than do conventional drugs in addition to being safe to the body, high doses being allowable for oral administration.
