TRITERPENE DERIVATIVES WITH IMMUNOSUPPRESSANT ACTIVITY

Abstract: The compounds of Formula (I) are useful as immunosuppressive agents.

Description: TITLE OF THE INVENTION TRITERPENE DERIVATIVES WITH IMMUNOSUPPRESSANT ACTIVITY BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Immunoregulatory abnormalities have been shown to exist in a wide variety of "autoimmune" and chronic inflammatory diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, type I and II diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, biliary cirrhosis, uveitis, multiple sclerosis and other disorders such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, bullous pemphigoid, sarcoidosis, psoriasis, ichthyosis, Graves ophthalmopathy and asthma. Although the underlying pathogenesis of each of these conditions may be quite different, they have in common the appearance of a variety of autoantibodies and self-reactive lymphocytes. Such self- reactivity may be due, in part, to a loss of the homeostatic controls under which the normal immune system operates. Similarly, following a bone-marrow or an organ transplantation, the host lymphocytes recognize the foreign tissue antigens and begin to produce antibodies which lead to graft rejection. One end result of an autoimmune or a rejection process is tissue destruction caused by inflammatory cells and the mediators they release. Anti -inflammatory agents such as NSAID's act principally by blocking the effect or secretion of these mediators but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease. On the other hand, cytotoxic agents, such as cyclophosphamide, act in such a nonspecific fashion that both the normal and autoimmune responses are shut off. Indeed, patients treated with such nonspecific immunosuppressive agents are as likely to succumb from infection as they are from their autoimmune disease. Cyclosporin A (CsA), which was approved by the US FDA in 1983 is currently the leading drug used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. In 1993, FK-506 (Prograf) was approved by the US FDA for the prevention of rejection in liver transplantation. CsA and FK-506 act by inhibiting the body's immune system from mobilizing its vast arsenal of natural protecting agents to reject the transplant's foreign protein. In 1994, CsA was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of severe psoriasis and has been approved by European regulatory agencies for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Though they are effective in fighting transplant rejection, CsA and FK- 506 are known to cause several undesirable side effects including nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Newer, safer drugs exhibiting less side effects are constantly being searched for in the field. Four active components of Spachea correa were recently identified which inhibit thymidine uptake of T cells and are useful as immunosuppressive agents in animals, including man. single double single double These compounds are useful as immunosuppressive agents in animals, including man. The present invention describes newly developed immunosuppressive compounds derived from the compounds described in Formulae 1 (a) through 1 (d) and which have the relative stereochemistry depicted above. - 3 - SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a class of triterpene derivatives of the general structural Formula I I are useful as immunosuppressants.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include both the metallic (inorganic) salts and organic salts; a list of which is given in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th Edition, pg. 1418 ( 1985). It is well known to one skilled in the art that an appropriate salt form is chosen based on physical and chemical stability, flowability, hydro- scopicity and solubility. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate, diphosphate, hydrobromide, and nitrate or salts of an organic acid such as malate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, succinate, citrate, acetate, lactate, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate or palmoate, salicylate and stearate.

REACTION SCHEME A As seen in Scheme A, compound I, 4,5,6,15, 16-pentakis (acetyloxy)-21,22-epoxy- 1 -hydroxy-22-methoxycarbonyl[6 ,7 , 15β,16β,21 β,22β]D:A-Freido-A-homo-27,30-dinor-24-oxaoleana- 1 ,20(29)-diene-3-one, isolated from Spachea correa in liquid ammonia with lithium metal will result in the reduction of the Cl olefin group to produce the saturated lactone. Altemative methods for reducing the Cl olefin group and/or the C20(29) olefin that are known in the art may also be employed. US Serial Number 08/476,806 filed on June 7, 1995 describes the isolation of compound I and is hereby incoφorated by reference. The resultant lactone can then be converted to the oxepin analog by procedures described in Reaction Scheme B. It should also be noted that compounds of Formula I having the 1 1 ,12-double bond can be prepared using the starting material, 4,6,7, 15,16-pentakisacetoxy-21 ,22-epoxy- 18-hydroxy-22- methoxycarbonyl[6 ,7 ,15β, 16β,21 β,22β]D:A-Freido-A-homo-27,30- dinor-24-oxaleana- l ,l l ,20(29)-trien-3-one, isolated from Spachea correa and following the procedures described herein. However, there may be reactions where it will not be possible to selectively operate on one of the double bonds, for example, ozonolysis. REACTION SCHEME B III (b = double bond) IV (b *= single bond) As seen in Scheme B, compound I, [(4,6,7,15,16- pentakis(acetyloxy)-21 ,22-epoxy- 18-hydroxy-22-methyoxycarbonyl- [6α,7α,15β, 16β,21β,22β]D:A-Freido-A-homo-27,30-dinor-24- oxaoleana-1 , 20(29)-dien-3-one] isolated from Spachea correa or the product of Scheme A, II, can be converted to its oxepin analogs, III and IV, in a two step process. US Serial Number 08/476,806 filed on June 7, 1995 describing the isolation of compound I and is hereby incoφorated by reference. The resultant lactone can then be converted to the oxepin analogs by procedures described in Reaction Scheme B. Lactone I is first reduced to the lactol, which can be accomplished by using a variety of reducing agents including diisobutylaluminum hydride (DLBAL-H) and sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride (Red- Al). A more optimal reducing agent is the use of lithium tri-t- butoxyaluminum hydride in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane at reduced temperatures, preferably 0°C. The purified lactol intermediate is then reacted with triethylsilane and a Lewis acid such as borontrifluoride diethyl etherate to give the ether (oxepin) analog of I. REACTION SCHEME C I (b = double bond) II (b = single bond) ) In a variation of Scheme B, oxepin derivatives substituted at C3 can also be prepared. Thus in Reaction Scheme C, lactones I or II is first reduced to the lactol as described in Reaction Scheme B. The purified lactol intermediate is then reacted with a trialkylaluminum reagent, as exemplified in this scheme by triethylaluminum (Et3Al) to give the ethyl derivative. The allyl derivative can be prepared with allyltrimethylsilane and a Lewis acid such as borontrifluoride diethyl etherate. REACTION SCHEME D ble bond The C4 acetate (Scheme D) can be selectively de-acetylated to give the corresponding alcohol by reacting it with an aqueous solution of HCl (preferably 2M to 3M concentration) in THF. It can also be prepared by reaction with CH3(C1)A1[N(0CH3)CH3] (Weinreb reagent) in inert solvents such as THF. toluene or methylene chloride. REACTION SCHEME E The C4 hydroxy group in Scheme E can be oxidized to the corresponding ketone by a variety of oxidizing agents. The Jones reagent (chromic acid and sulfuric acid in H2θ), pyridinium chlorochromate, and oxalyl chloride plus DMSO all will achieve this conversion. REACTION SCHEME F (PhO) 3 MePI HMPT, 75 °C b = single or double bond The C4 hydroxy group in Scheme F can also be dehydrated to give the olefin. Reaction of the alcohol with tris-phenoxymethylphos- phonium iodide in hexamethylphosphorous triamide (HMPT) at 75°C will achieve this conversion. REACTION SCHEME G b = single or double bond REACTION SCHEME G (CONT'D) As depicted in Reaction Scheme G, esters at C4 can be prepared by reaction of a pre-formed carboxylic acid chloride with the C4 alcohol derivative (Reaction Scheme D) in a basic solvent such as pyridine. It should be understood that R4 ' is used to represent a portion of the R4 definition, e.g. R4 can be an alkyl carbonate which is depicted in the scheme as OC(=0)OR4', R4' representing the alkyl substituent. The acid chlorides, when not purchased, are prepared by stirring the carboxylic acids in reagents such as oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride. Esters may also be prepared by reaction of the acid chloride and C4 alcohol with silver cyanide (AgCN) in an aprotic solvent such as HMPA. C4 sulfonate derivatives are prepared in a similar manner by reaction with sulfonyl chlorides. C4 carbonate and carbamate derivatives are prepared by first reacting the C4 alcohol derivative with carbonyldiimidazole (CDl) to obtain the imidazolecarbonyl intermediate which is then reacted with an alcohol or amine (R 1 R NH) to give the coπesponding carbonate or carbamate derivatives. C4 ether derivatives can also be prepared. The best procedure involves reacting an alcohol with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Tf2θ, triflic anhydride) to obtain the preformed triflate in dichloromethane at reduced temperature, preferably -78°C. To this solution is added the triteφene alcohol, the reaction misture is warmed to room temperature and stirring is continued until reaction is complete. Ethers may also be prepared by heating a mixture of triteφene C4 alcohol, the appropriate alkylhalide and an excess of silver oxide (Ag2θ) in an aprotic invert solvent such as THF. REACTION SCHEME H NHR 1 R 2 NaCNBH 3 Amines at C4 (Scheme H) can be prepared from the C4 ketone described in Reaction Scheme E by reaction with an amine NHR 1 R2 in a variety of solvents with a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride .

An embodiment of the invention is a method for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Another embodiment of the invention is a method for the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I. One end result of an autoimmune or a rejection process is tissue destruction caused by inflammatory cells and the mediators they release. Anti -inflammatory agents such as NSAID's and corticosteroids act principally by blocking the effect or secretion of these mediators, but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease. On the other hand, cytotoxic agents, such as cyclophosphamide, act in such a nonspecific fashion that both the normal and autoimmune responses are shut off. Indeed, patients treated with such nonspecific immuno¬ suppressive agents are as likely to succumb from infection as they are from their autoimmune disease. Cyclosporin A, which was approved by the US FDA in 1983, is currently the leading drug used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. The drug acts by inhibiting the body's immune system from mobilizing its vast arsenal of natural protecting agents to reject the transplant's foreign protein. Though cyclosporin A is effective in fighting transplant rejection, it is nephrotoxic and is known to cause several undesirable side effects including kidney failure, abnormal liver function and gastrointestinal discomfort. Newer, safer drugs exhibiting fewer side effects are constantly being searched for in the field. The present invention provides for immunosuppressant agents which are inhibitors of a voltage dependent potassium channel, Kyi .3, that is found on human T-lymphocytes. Potassium channels modulate a number of cellular events such as muscle contraction, neuro-endocrine secretion, frequency and duration of action potentials, electrolyte homeostasis, and resting membrane potential. These channels comprise a family of proteins that have been classified according to their biophysical and pharmacological characteristics. Inhibition of K + channels, in their role as modulators of the plasma membrane potential in human T -lymphocytes, has been postulated to play a role in eliciting immunosuppressive responses. In regulating membrane potential, K + channels play a role in the regulation of intracellular Ca++ homeostasis, which has been found to be important in T-cell activation. The biochemical characterization of K+ channels is underdeveloped, due to the paucity of selective high affinity probes. Functional voltage-gated K+ channels can exist as multimeric structures formed by the association of either identical or dissimilar subunits. This phenomena is thought to account for the wide diversity of K + channels. However, subunit compositions of native K+ channels and the physiologic role that particular channels play are, in most cases, still unclear. The Ky 1.3 channel is a voltage-gated potassium channel that is found in neurons, blood cells, osteoclasts and T-lymphocytes. The Chandy and Cahalan laboratories proposed a hypothesis that blocking the Kyi .3 channel would elicit an immunosuppressant response. (Chandy et al, J. Exp. Med. 160, 369, 1984; Decoursey et al., Nature, 307, 465, 1984). However, the K+ channel blockers employed in their studies were non-selective. Until research with the peptide margatoxin, a peptide found in scoφion venom, no specific inhibitor of the Ky i .3 channel existed to test this hypothesis. Although a laboratory (Price et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 86, 10171 , 1989) showed that charybdotoxin would block Kyi .3 in human T cells, charybdotoxin was subsequently shown to inhibit four different K + channels (Kyi .3 and three distinct small conductance Ca++ activated K + channels) in human T-lymphocytes, limiting the use of this toxin as a probe for the physiological role of Ky i .3 (Leonard et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89, 10094, 1992). Margatoxin, on the other hand, blocks only K v 1.3 in T-cells, and has immunosuppressant activity in both in vitro and in vivo models. (Lin et al, J. Exp. Med, 177, 637, 1993). Since the compounds of the embodiments of this invention produce blockade of Ky i .3, they will also inhibit T-cell activation. Also within the scope of this invention is a method of treating a condition in a mammal, the treatment of which is effected or facilitated by Ky 1.3 inhibition, comprising the administration of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a suitable pharmaceutical carrier and a compound of Formula (I), in an amount that is effective at inhibiting Ky i .3. Also within the scope of this invention is a combination therapy comprising a compound of formula I and one or more immunosuppressant agents. These immunosuppressant agents within the scope of this invention include, but are not limited to, IMUREK® azathioprine sodium, brequinar sodium, SPANIDIN® gusperimus trihydrochloride (also known as deoxyspergualin), mizoribine (also known as bredinin), CELLCEPT® mycophenolate mofetil, NEORAL® Cyclosporin A (also marketed as different formulation of Cyclosporin A under the trademark SANDIMMUNE®), PROGRAF® tacrolimus (also known as FK-506) and RAPIMMUNE® sirolimus (also known as rapamycin), leflunomide (also known as HWA-486), glucocortcoids, such as prednisolone and its derivatives, antibody therapies such as orthoclone (OKT3) and Zenapax and antithymyocyte globulins, such as thymoglobulins. Using the methodologies described below, representative compounds of the invention were evaluated and found to exhibit IC50 values of at least <10 μM in any of the assays thereby demonstrating and confirming the utility of the compounds of the invention as K v 1.3 inhibitors and immunosuppressants. T CELL IL-2 ASSAY Peripheral blood mononuclear (MNC) cells from healthy donors were separated by density centrifugation with ficoll-hypaque (LSM, Organon Teknika, Durham, NC), followed by rosetted with neuraminidase treated sheep red blood cells (SRBC). After another centrifugation with leucocyte separation medium (LSM), the SRBC of the rosetted T cells were then lysed with ammonium chloride lysing buffer (GEBCO, Grand Island, NY). Such purified T cells were resuspended at 3 X IO 6 / ml in RPMI 1640 culture medium (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), 100 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, and 1 % penn-strep (GIBCO). The cell suspension was immediately distributed into 96 well round-bottom microculture plates (Costar) at 200 μl/well. The various dilutions of test compound were then added in triplicate wells at 25 μl/well, incubated for 30 min at 37°C. Ionomycin ( 125 ng/ml), and PMA ( 1 or 5 ng/ml), were added to the appropriate wells. The culture plates were then incubated at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% Cθ2 - 95% air for 18-24 hours. The supernatants were removed, and assayed for IL-2 with an IL-2 capture ELISA, using monoclonal anti-IL-2, and biotinylated goat anti-IL-2 antibodies (unconjugated antibodies purchased from R&D System, Minneapolis, MN). The ELISA was developed with streptavidin conjugated peroxidase (Zymed, San Francisco, CA) and substrate for peroxidase (Sigma). Mean OD and units of IL-2 of the replicate wells were calculated from standard curve, created with recombinant IL-2 (Collaborative Biomedical Products, Bedford, MA) and the results were expressed as concentration of compound required to inhibit IL-2 production of T cells by 50%. T CELL PROLIFERATION ASSAY Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC) from healthy donors were separated by density centrifugation with ficoll-hypaque (LSM, Organon Teknika, Durham, NC). After washing the MNC with complete media (RPMI 1640 medium with 5% fetal calf serum, 100 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acid, and 1 % penn-strep, obtained from GIBCO, Grand Island, NY), they were then irradiated at 7500 RADS, and resuspended at 4-4.5 x 1 O^ceHs/ml in complete media. Another aliquot of MNC were rosetted with neuraminidase treated SRBC. After another centrifugation with LSM, the sheep red blood cells (SRBC) of these rosetted T cells were then lysed with ammonium chloride lysing buffer (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY). After washing 2X with complete media, these purified T cells were also resuspended at 2-2.5 x 10 6 cells/ml in complete media. The various dilutions of the compound were added in triplicates at 50 ul/well of a 96 well flat-bottom microculture plate (Costar, Cambridge, MA). T cell suspension was then immediately distributed into the wells at 100 μl/well. After incubating the cells with compound for 30 min. at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% Cθ2 - 95% air, 20 μl/well of anti-CD3 (Ortho Diagnostic, NJ) at final cone, of 0.3 ng/ml was added, followed by 50 μl of the iπadiated MNC. The culture plates were then incubated at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% C02 - 95% air for 72 hours. The proliferation of T lymphocytes was assessed by measurement of tritiated thymidine incoφoration. During the last 18- 24 hrs. of culturing, the cells were pulse-labeled with 2 μCi/well of tritiated thymidine (NEN, Cambridge, MA). The cultures were harvested on glass fiber filters using a multiple sample harvester (MACH-II, WallacGaithersburg, MD). Radioactivity of filter discs corresponding to individual wells was measured by standard liquid scintillation counting methods (Betaplate Scint Counter, Wallac). Mean counts per minute of replicate wells were calculated and the results were expressed as concentration of compound required to inhibit tritiated thymidine uptake of T cells by 50%. KV1.3-RUBIDIUM EFFLUX ASSAY CHO cells transfected with K v 1.3 channels at site densities of approximately 40,000 sites/cell are plated into 96 well culture plates and maintained in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM, with L-Glutamine and HEPES, JRH Biosciences). Cells are incubated overnight with 86 Rb + (3 μCi/ml, Dupont-NEN) in the glutamine supplemented IMDM. After aspiration of the media, 100 μl of Low K Buffer (in mM, 6.5 KCl, 125 NaCl, 1 CaCl2, 2 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, pH adjusted to 7.2 with NaOH) is added to each well followed by 100 μl test samples in Low K Buffer also containing 0.2% BSA and 2 mM ouabain. Samples are tested at either 1 μg/ml for routine screening or at a variety of concentrations encompassing at least 1/10 to 10 times the putative IC50 of test compound to determine potency. After a fixed preincubation time, which is usually 10 min, the samples are aspirated. The Ky l.3 channels are opened by depolarization of the cells with High K Buffer (final concentrations, in mM, 63.25 KCl, 68.25 NaCl, 1 CaCl2, 2 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, pH adjusted to 7.2 with NaOH) also containing test compounds. To measure 86 Rb + efflux through the channels, aliquots of 100 μl are taken from each well after a given time and added to plates containing 100 μl MicroScint-40 (Packard) for counting by liquid scintillation techniques. MicroScint-40 (100 μl) is then added to each well of the cell plate to determine the remaining 86 Rb+ activity. The efflux counts are normalized for the total amount of 86 Rb + that was in the cells by adding the efflux counts to the cell plate counts. Activity is determined by % inhibition of the efflux window that is established using a saturating concentration of margatoxin (MgTX), a 39 amino acid peptide that is a potent blocker of K 1.3 channels (IC50 = 100 pM). DOSAGE FORMS As an immunosuppressive, these compounds are useful in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants and/or related afflictions, diseases and illnesses. The compounds of this invention can be administered for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants and/or related afflictions, diseases and illnesses according to the invention by any means that effects contact of the active ingredient compound with the site of action in the body of a warm¬ blooded animal. For example, administration, can be oral, topical, including transdermal, ocular, buccal, intranasal, inhalation, intravaginal, rectal, intraci sternal and parenteral. The term "parenteral" as used herein refers to modes of administration which include subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular injection or infusion, intrasternal and intraperitoneal. The compounds can be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic agents or in a combination of therapeutic agents. They can be administered alone, but are generally administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. For the puφose of this disclosure, a warm-blooded animal is a member of the animal kingdom possessed of a homeostatic mechanism and includes mammals and birds. The dosage administered will be dependent on the age, health and weight of the recipient, the extent of disease, kind of concuπent treatment, if any, frequency of treatment and the nature of the effect desired. Usually, a daily dosage of active ingredient compound will be from about 1 -500 milligrams per day. Ordinarily, from 10 to 100 milligrams per day in one or more applications is effective to obtain desired results. These dosages are the effective amounts for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants and/or related afflictions, diseases and illnesses. The active ingredient can be administered orally in solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, troches, dragees, granules and powders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups, emulsions, dispersions, and suspensions. The active ingredient can also be administered parenterally, in sterile liquid dosage forms, such as dispersions, suspensions or solutions. Other dosages forms that can also be used to administer the active ingredient as an ointment, cream, drops, transdermal patch or powder for topical administration, as an ophthalmic solution or suspension formation, i.e., eye drops, for ocular administration, as an aerosol spray or powder composition for inhalation or intranasal administration, or as a cream, ointment, spray or suppository for rectal or vaginal administration. Gelatin capsules contain the active ingredient and powdered carriers, such as lactose, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloring and flavoring to increase patient acceptance. In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose (glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene gycols are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral administration preferably contain a water soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propylparaben, and chlorobutanol. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, A. Osoi, a standard reference text in this field. For administration by inhalation, the compounds of the present invention may be conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or nebulisers. The compounds may also be delivered as powders which may be formulated and the powder composition may be inhaled with the aid of an insufflation powder inhaler device. The preferred delivery system for inhalation is a metered dose inhalation (MDI) aerosol, which may be formulated as a suspension or solution of a compound of Formula I in suitable propellants, such as fluorocarbons or hydrocarbons. For ocular administration, an ophthalmic preparation may be formulated with an appropriate weight percent solution or suspension of the compounds of Formula I in an appropriate ophthalmic vehicle, such that the compound is maintained in contact with the ocular surface for a sufficient time period to allow the compound to penetrate the corneal and intemal regions of the eye. Useful pharmaceutical dosage-forms for administration of the compounds of this invention can be illustrated as follows: CAPSULES A large number of unit capsules are prepared by filling standard two-piece hard gelatin capsules each with 100 milligrams of powdered active ingredient, 150 milligrams of lactose, 50 milligrams of cellulose, and 6 milligrams magnesium stearate. SOFT GELATIN CAPSULES A mixture of active ingredient in a digestible oil such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil or olive oil is prepared and injected by means of a positive displacement pump into gelatin to form soft gelatin capsules containing 100 milligrams of the active ingredient. The capsules are washed and dried. TABLETS A large number of tablets are prepared by conventional procedures so that the dosage unit is 100 milligrams of active ingredient, 0.2 milligrams of colloidal silicon dioxide, 5 milligrams of magnesium stearate, 275 milligrams of microcrystalline cellulose, 1 1 milligrams of starch and 98.8 milligrams of lactose. Appropriate coatings may be applied to increase palatability or delay absoφtion. INJECTABLE A parenteral composition suitable for administration by injection is prepared by stirring 1.5% by weight of active ingredient in 10% by volume propylene glycol. The solution is made to volume with water for injection and sterilized. SUSPENSION An aqueous suspension is prepared for oral administration so that each 5 milliliters contain 100 milligrams of finely divided active ingredient, 100 milligrams of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 5 milligrams of sodium benzoate, 1.0 grams of sorbitol solution, U.S.P., and 0.025 milliliters of vanillin. The same dosage forms can generally be used when the compounds of this invention are administered stepwise or in conjunction with another therapeutic agent. When drugs are administered in physical combination, the dosage form and administration route should be selected depending on the compatibility of the combined drugs. Thus the term coadmini stration is understood to include the administration of the two agents concomitantly or sequentially, or altematively as a fixed dose combination of the two active components. The following examples illustrate the preparation of the compounds of Formula I and as such are not to be considered as limiting the invention set forth in the claims appended hereto. EXAMPLE 1 A Method Of Extracting The Compounds Of Formula 1 (a) and 1 (b) From Spachea correa single double One gram of an ethanol extract of the roots of Spachea correa was partitioned between 100 ml of hexane (twice) and 100 ml of 90% aqueous methanol. After separation of the phases, the defatted methanol was concentrated down under vacuum to give an aqueous suspension. This was diluted out to 100 ml with water and extracted, with 100 ml of methylene chloride. The bioactive methylene chloride extract was dried down to give 12 mg of residue. This was first fractionated by preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) on a 20 cm by 20 cm E. Merck silica gel 60F254 plate of 1mm thickness using methylene chloride-ethyl acetate 1 : 1 (v/v) as solvent, then by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Zorbax RxC8 4.6 mm x 25 cm column, operated at 50°C and eluted with a 50 minute gradient of acetonitrile: water (1 : 1 , v/v) to 100% acetonitrile, delivered at 1 ml/min, to afford 4 mg of compound 1 (a) and 1 mg of 1 (b).

EXAMPLE 2 A Method Of Extracting The Compounds Of Formula 1(c) And 1(d) From Spachea Correa single double Analogs of the compounds of Formula 1(a) and 1(b) could be detected in the crude extract and fractions thereof when the process of Example 1 was carried out on a larger scale. Thus, 50 g of ethanol extract were partitioned as described in Example 1 using 900 ml of each solvent at each step. Partial purification of the methylene chloride extract was achieved by column chromatography on E. Merck silica gel 60 (120 ml), eluting with a step gradient of ethyl acetate in methylene chloride. The step gradient was designed so that the column was washed first with 100% methylene chloride and then with methylene chloride- ethyl acetate mixtures of 9: 1 , 8:2, 3:2, 2: 1 , 1 : 1 , 1 :2, 2:8 and 1 :9. Ultimately the column was washed with 100% ethyl acetate. Fractions eluted with methylene chloride-ethyl acetate 3:2 were enriched in compound of Formula 1 (a) and 1 (b). These were resolved by HPLC using a Zorbax RxC8 9 mm x 25 cm column, maintained at 50°C and eluted at 4 ml/min with acetonitrile-water 1 : 1 v/v. Three identical runs finally afforded 100 mg and 20 mg respectively of 1 (a) and 1(b) after crystallization from methanol. Later-eluting fractions from the silica gel column above were found to contain at least two related compounds based on UV spectra and color reactions on TLC plates. Material from the methylene chloride-ethyl actate 1 : 1 and 1 :2 washings were combined and evaporated down. Separation was achieved on the same HPLC column as above, eluting with a 50 minute gradient of 30% to 50% acetonitrile in water. Two identical runs gave 6 mg of purified compound 1 (c). Fractions containing the compound of Formula 1(d) were again processed by HPLC (same column) using acetonitrile-water 3:7 delivered isocratically, to yield 2 mg of purified Formula 1 (d). The mass spectra of these compounds were recorded on a Finnigan TSQ700 mass spectrometer (electrospray ionization, ESI). The samples were analyzed by LC/MS using a 2.1x150mm C8 column at 0.2ml/min. with a mobile phase of 45% acetonitrile/O.OlM aqueous ammonium acetate at 50°C. Component 1(d) had a retention time of 10.5 min. and a molecular weight of 744 which is observed a m/z: 745 (M+H), 762 (M+NH3), 786 (M + H + MeCN). Component 1(c) has a retention time of 1 1.8 and a molecular weight of 746 which is observed at m/z: 747 (M+H), 764 (M+NH3) and 788 (M + H + MeCN). The 13 NMR spectra obtained for the compound of Formula 1 (c) using the conditions previously described is as follows: 15.1 (2x), 16.9, 19.8, 20.8, 20.91 , 20.94, 21.9, 22.3, 35.6, 40.6, 42.2, 43.9, 45.0, 47.7, 50.8, 53.5, 55.6, 61.8, 63.5, 66.0, 67.6 (2x), 69.8, 70.0, 73.9, 75.0, 75.6, 1 19.3, 123.7, 139.0, 144.4, 167.8, 169.2, 169.5, 170.1 , 170.4, 171.4 ppm. The carbon count of 38 is in agreement with the molecular formula C3 H50O16 derived by scanning HR EI-MS. EXAMPLE 3 Separation By HPLC Compounds of this invention were characterized by the following behavior during HPLC separation on a Zorbax RxC8 4.6 mm x 25 cm column, maintained at 50°C and eluted at 1 ml/min with acetonitrile-water 3:2 v/v): Compound 1(a): k' = 4.15; 1(b): k'=3.30; 1 (c): k'=2.30; 1(d): k'=2.10. Analyses using this HPLC system can be used to quantify the compounds in the crude extract or other mixtures, by comparing the absorbance of HPLC peaks at a wavelength of 220 nm with that produced by injections of known (weighed) amounts of pure standards. EXAMPLE 4 Additional Purification Procedure A simplified purification process allows for rapid fraction¬ ation of even larger amounts of crude extract and the preparation of gram amounts of the compounds of Formula 1(a) and 1(b). The ethanol extract is first dissolved at 20 grams per 150 ml in methanol. This solution is diluted with 150 ml of water and then extracted three times with methylene chloride using 150 ml of methylene chloride each time. The pooled methylene chloride extracts are evaporated down and fractionation proceeds by repeated column chromatography on silica gel. One employs methylene chloride- methanol 97:3 in a first step; the mixed compounds of Formula 1 (a) and 1(b) thus obtained are resolved by chromatographing on fresh silica gel eluted with methylene chloride-ethyl acetate 3: 1. Volume of elution for the compound of Formula 1(a) ranges from about 2 to about 3.5 column volumes of solvent; that for the compound of Formula 1(b) is about 3 to about 4.5 column volumes. Finally, advantage is taken of the low solubility of these compounds, and, after total resolution by chromatography, the compounds of Formula 1(a) and 1 (b) can be precipitated and or crystallized from concentrated methanol solutions.
