Abstract: Substituted phenylthiohydantoins are provided for use in detecting the presence of tumor cells having androgenic receptors and providing for cytostatic and cytotoxic activity toward such cells. The subject compounds provide for vehicles for specific targeting to the endrogenic receptor containing cells of cytostatic and/or cytotoxic agents, heavy or light radioactive or radioopaque atoms, and the like for detection and treatment of cancer cells involving androgenic receptors or blocking androgenic receptors.

Description: ANDROGENIC DIRECTED COMPOSITIONS INTRODUCTION Technical Field The field of this invention is diagnosis and treatment of androgenic related neoplasia and blockage of androgenic receptors. Background The growth of prostate cancer (CaP) depends upon the presence of androgen (male) hormones, acting via androgen receptors contained in the cell's nucleus. The only effective, albeit temporary, therapy of prostate cancer is based upon interference of male hormone production or activity, using estrogenic steroids or non-steroidal substances to block the cancer cells' androgen receptors. There are a number of problems with these therapies. Steroidal estrogens had to be abandoned due to their high cardiovascular toxicity. The only steroidal compound clinically used today is cyproterone acetate. However, it also binds to the glucocorticoid and progestin receptors. Current, clinically-used non-steroidal anti-androgens such as Flutamide, Casodex or Anandron do not bind sufficiently to androgen receptors to achieve their complete blockage. None of the current anti-androgens provide permanent relief. It is suspected that the incomplete blockage of the receptors may be the reason why, with time, the therapy invariably becomes ineffective as the CaP cells mutate having proliferated metastatically. At that phase, the cells cannot be substantially influenced by any known chemotherapy or radiation. There is the further consideration that the current armamentarium for the diagnostic staging of prostate cancer is extremely poor and yet essential in choosing the therapeutic mode. Proof of metastatic dissemination beyond the prostate excludes surgery and relegates these patients to systemic therapy. With improved diagnostic staging, unnecessary prostatectomies, a major and potentially mutilating surgery, could be avoided. Only recently, an assay has become available for the detection of CaP cells circulating in the blood. However, that finding alone does not imply the existence of metastases. Typically, early metastases occur in the lymph nodes and the later ones develop in the bones. While "Tc scans can visualize bone defects, the lymph node metastases are extremely difficult to locate since typically, the infiltrated nodes are neither enlarged nor show changes on either magnetic resonance or x-ray computed tomography. Further, because of their low metabolic rate, the pathological nodes cannot be identified by positron emission spectrography using 18 F-deoxyglucose. Lymph node biopsy is possible only in the pelvic area. Early metastases in inaccessible paraaortic lymph nodes cannot be detected and consequently these patients are operated upon needlessly. Recently developed radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies against prostate cancer have only a limited use due to their low target specificity and long persistence in the blood pool, liver and spleen, which interferes with the imaging. There have been a number of attempts to develop a CaP radionuclide scanning agent. Several radioiodinated androgen steroids were made, but they suffer from synthetic complexity. Steroidal androgens labeled with 18 F were synthesized as a potential PET imaging agent for prostate cancer, but their practicability is limited due to the complicated synthesis and need for specialized rare equipment (PET scanners) to detect positron emitting radionuclides. There is a further consideration that androgens promote CaP growth. There is, therefore, substantial interest in developing novel compounds which can provide for the diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer. Relevant Literature N-aryl substituted imidazolinediones have been reported in DE32 22 523; Offenlegungsschrift 26 49 925; WO88/03404; EPO 436426; EPO 494819; EPO 580459, and Teutsch, J. Steroid Biochem. Molec. Biol. (1994) 48:111-119. The activity of the trifluoromethyl, nitro- and trifluoromethyl, cyanophenyl derivatives as high-affinity ligands for the androgen receptor are reported in Teutsch, supra. , as well as in many of the foregoing patents. SUMMARY QF THF INVENTION Specific N-substituted 3-trifluoromethyl-4-cyano phenylthio-4',4'- dimethylhydantoins, their amino and thione analogs are provided having substitution at the remaining annular atom. Substituents include cyclic and aliphatic groups. Of particular interest are groups which can be used for imaging and/or have enhanced therapeutic index. DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS N-substituted arylthio-4',4'-dimethylhydantoins are provided, where when the 3'-N-substituent comprises other than an iodoaryl group, the hydantoin is a mono-thiohydantoin, where the other sp 2 carbon atom is bonded to oxygen, or nitrogen (imino). The compounds find use for diagnosis and/or therapy associated with androgenic receptors. The subject compounds have high affinity for androgen receptors of a variety of cell types and are able to exert at least one of proliferation inhibition or cytotoxicity for therapy or preferential binding for use as a detection medium for cells and tissues comprising androgenic receptors or for other identification. For the most part, the subject compositions can be divided into three categories as characterized by the N-substituent: A group of from two to eight, usually from two to six carbon atoms, more usually from two to four carbon atoms, particularly two to three carbon atoms, which may be aliphatic or heterocyclic, generally having from zero to three, more usually from zero to two heteroatoms, preferably from one to two heteroatoms, which may be derivatized, particularly alkylated or acylated, where the alkyl or acyl group will be of from one to ten, more usually one to eight, preferably of from one to six carbon atoms, where the acyl group will generally be of from two to six carbon atoms, where the non-oxo- carbonyl may be bonded to from zero to two oxygen and/or nitrogen atoms, and zero to one carbon atoms; where the heterocyde will be from five to six annular members, particularly five annular members, where the annular members will be oxygen and nitrogen, generally having from 1 to 3 annular heteroatoms; the second group will have an agent, frequently a cytotoxic agent and/or imaging agent bonded to the hydantoin, normally through a linking group of from one to six, usually one to four carbon atoms, preferably two to three carbon atoms and one heteroatom, where the linking group may include one or more functionalities, such as amino, oxy, and non-oxo-carbonyl, where amides and esters may be involved, e.g. urethanes; and the third group will involve carbocyclic aryl groups, particularly iodoaryl, which may be bonded to the nitrogen of the hydantoin through a linking group of from one to eight, usually two to six carbon atoms, preferably two to three carbon atoms, where the linking group may include an amino, oxy or non-oxo- carbonyl functionality, particularly ester or amide, and the aryl group may be substituted with oxy, amino, non-oxo-carbonyl, and derivatives thereof. As the aryl group, phenyl is of particular interest. Tissue comprising cells with androgen receptors include prostate tissue, ovary tissue, testes, etc. Hosts of interest include primates, e.g. humans, domestic animals and pets. The first group of the compounds of the subject invention will have the following formula: wherein: X is oxygen or nitrogen, with the proviso that when R is iodoaryl, X may be sulfur; Y is sulphur, with the proviso that when R is iodoaryl group, Y may be sulphur, oxygen or nitrogen, preferably X and Y are different; R is an organic group, which may be aliphatic and may comprise one or more heteroatoms, alicyclic, aromatic, heterocyclic, or combinations thereof, where heteroatoms include oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur etc., to be further defined below. The first group of compounds will comprise monothiohydantoins, where the other oxo group of the hydantoin will be oxygen or nitrogen. These groups will, for the most part, have R having the following formula: Zl O-O, wherein: Z is hydroxyl, amino, a substituted amino or a 4-diazolyl, particularly a 4- (l',3'-imidazolyl); Z 1 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, or may be taken together with Z to provide for olefinic or acetylenic unsaturation, or a 2,2-dimethyldioxolane. The substituents on amino nitrogen may be varied widely, depending upon the use of the compound. For cytotoxicity or antiproliferative activity, the amino group may be unsubstituted or substituted, particularly with the single acyl group, where the acyl group may serve to enhance the activity of the compound by changing its pharmacokinetic activities, by providing for a second cytotoxic or antiproliferative compound, by providing for a chelating agent for chelating a metal ion, particularly a radioactive metal or non-metallic on, for carrying a radioopaque atom, or the like. Radioactive elements include fluorine, iodine, technetium, etc. Other metals of interest include gadolinium and the like. Similarly, the hydroxyl, particularly the terminal hydroxyl, may be employed as a site for linking, forming ethers or esters, where the groups bound to oxygen will come within the above description; activations and displacement with other groups of interest, e.g. fluorine, sulphur alkyls and the like. In addition, iodoaryl groups may be employed which are linked to the nitrogen through an alkyl chain, where the alkyl chain may be of from 1 to 6, usually from 1 to 4, preferably from 2 to 4 carbon atoms. The iodoaryl group may be linked directly to the carbon of the alkyl group or linked through a heteroatom, particularly nitrogen or oxygen, e.g. amide, secondary amine, ether, ester, etc. where the iodoaryl group may have a non-oxo-carbonyl or amino group linked to an annular carbon atom as part of the linking chain. The iodoaryl will generally have from 1 to 4, usually 2 to 4, more usually 2 to 3 iodine atoms, and may be further substituted with oxy, particularly hydroxy or alkoxy of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or amino, or a substituted amino (mono- or disubstituted), having alkyl substituents having a total of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more usually 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and 0 to n- 1 oxy groups, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the substituent. A variety of aminosubstituted symmetrically substituted triiodoisophthaldiamides and diaminosubstituted symmetrically substituted triiodobenzamides have been reported in the literature, where the nitrogen atoms are substituted with acyl groups, alkyl groups or oxyalkyl groups of 1 to 6, usually 1 to 4 carbon atoms and 0 to n-l oxy groups. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 4,547,357; 4,021,481; 4,364,921 and 4,341,756 and references cited therein. The carboxyl group may be used to link the iodoaryl group to the thiohydantoin throgh the alkyl chain. Alternatively, iodine may be bonded to an sp 2 carbon atom of an alkenyl group. Illustrative R groups include: allyl, propynyl, aminoethyl, aminopropyl, 2-hydroxypropyl, 3-hydroxypropyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl, 2-hydroxy-3-acetoxypropyl, 4-benzamidobutyl, 4-fluorobutyl, 4-iodobut-3-enyl, 2- iodoprop-2-enyl, cis & trans-3-iodo-prop-2-enyl, 3-(4'-oxazolyl-l,3)propyl, 2-(4'-diazolyl)ethyl, 3-(propionamido)propyl, N-phenoxycarbonyl 2-aminoethyl, N-methoxycarbonyl 2-aminoethyl, 3-(3 ' ,5 ' -diiodo-4 ' -dimethylaminophenyl)propyl , 2-(3',4',5'-triiodophenyl)propyl, N-(cysteinyl, glycyl, glycyl) 2-aminoethyl, (3 ' , 6 ' , 9 ' -triazanonoxy)ethyl , p-hydroxyphenylpropyl , and the carboxamide of N-nitrilotriacetic acid and 2-aminoethyl. Alternatively, various cytotoxic agents may be employed, which are joined to the subject hydantoins by any convenient linking group, which does not significantly diminish the cytotoxic or antiproliferative activity of the compound. Compounds of interest include methotrexate, taxol, 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin, bleomycin, and the like. The subject compounds can be prepared in accordance with conventional ways, varying the particular procedure based on the particular side groups. The preparation of hydantoins conveniently involves the use of an isocyanate and a substituted α-aminoacetonitrile. By appropriate choice of the isocyanate and the α- aminoacetonitrile, one may arrive at the final product in a single step. Alternatively, by employing various protective groups, which may be subsequently removed, or providing for substituents which become involved in the formation of the hydantoin or may provide for sites for further derivatization. Various procedures are described in EPO Publication Numbers 0 494 819 and 0 580 459. Also, a significant number of examples may be found in the subject experimental section. The subject compositions find a variety of uses associated with prophylactic and therapeutic opportunities. By providing for substituents which allow for detection by x-rays, molecular resonance imaging, radioactivity, or the like, regions of a mammalian host, particularly humans, can be investigated, where the regions are associated with an androgenic receptor. Thus, cells or tissues associated with the androgenic receptors may be visualized, so as to identify neoplasms, benign tumors, mobile cells, etc. Thus, by having substituents which have radioactive atoms, heavy metals, heavy atoms such as iodine, or the like, one can visualize physiological structures associated with androgenic receptors. In addition, the subject compounds have proliferative inhibitory capability in inhibiting the proliferation of cells having androgenic receptors and dependent upon signal transduction associated with the androgenic receptors. The subject compounds are found to have a high affinity for the androgenic receptors, demonstrating enhanced activity as compared to prior substituted hydantoins. In addition, the subject hydantoins can be used as vehicles for transporting other cytotoxic agents to the androgen receptor comprising cells. Thus, while at the same time inhibiting androgenic activation, other pathways which inhibit proliferation may also be addressed. Thus, one can greatly enhance the therapeutic index of a known chemotherapeutic agent by directing the chemotherapeutic agent to specific sites in the host. The subject compositions may be formulated in accordance with conventional ways for use in vivo. The subject compounds are found to be stable in human plasma at physiological temperatures. The subject compounds are found to have substantially greater cytostatic and cytotoxic effects in inhibiting cell growth for neoplastic cells, as compared to normal cells, i.e. having a high therapeutic index. The subject compositions are readily formulated in conventional carriers, such as saline, phosphate buffered saline, vegetable oils, ethanol, or other physiologically acceptable carrier. The concentrations used for the subject compounds in diagnosis and therapy will be varied widely, depending upon the purpose of the compound, the patient being treated, the stage of the disease, whether the subject compounds are being used by themselves or in a combination therapy, the manner of administration, the responsiveness of the cancer cells to the drug, and the like. The particular dosage can be determined empirically. Other components of the formulation may include buffers, stabilizers, excipients, or the like. Depending upon the particular compound and its formulation, administration may be oral or parenteral, including intravascular, subcutaneous, intratumoral, intraperitoneally, etc. The subject compounds may also be used in competitive assays for evaluating other compounds as to their cytotoxic or cytostatic effect. Thus, specific cell lines may be employed where the effect of an agent on the cytotoxic level of a subject compound may be determined in relation to the survival rate of the target cells. Also, in mixtures of cells containing neoplastic androgenic receptor containing cells the subject compounds can be used to eliminate the neoplastic cells in the presence of normal cells. Thus, in a variety of cultures, where androgenic receptor containing cells may be susceptible to becoming or are tumorous, by maintaining a cytoxic level of the subject compounds in the medium, the cells may be selectively killed. The following examples are offered by way of illustration and not by way of limitation.

In a separate flask was placed the substituted aryl isothiocyanate (17.2 g, 75.7 mmol) to which was added THF (50 mL) and NEt 3 (2.0 mL). The latter orange solution was added to the former with stirring. After 12 hours, the volatiles were removed under vacuum to give the crude imine cyclization product as an viscous orange oil. This product was dissolved in methanol (350 mL) and subjected to HCl (2N, 94 mL, 0.187 mmol). Heat evolved. After 30 minutes, the volatiles were removed under vacuum.

Purity by HPLC: 98.8%. Testing: All compounds were tested for stability by incubation in human plasma at 38 °C for three hours and subsequent analysis by high pressure liquid chromatography. All compounds tested were found to be stable under these conditions. All compounds were screened on a panel of normal and cancer human cell lines, including human prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3, DU-145, and LnCAP. The purpose of this experiment was to assess cell growth inhibition by measuring cytotoxicity and cytostatic effects. Cells (lO well) were plated on 96 well plates with the following controls: no cells and toxic control (1 x 10 '3 M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The drug was diluted in ethanol and added directly to the wells. Plates were incubated at 37 °C under 5 % carbon dioxide in sterile air, in a humidified incubator for 72 hours. A solution (50 μl of 2,3-bis-(methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5- [(phenylamino)carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide (XTT), 1 mg/mL) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, 100 M) was added to each well, In the presence of viable cells, this colorless clear solution is enzymatically transformed to give a pink coloration, read at 450 nm using a microplate reader (Molecular Devices Thermomax). The inhibition of cell growth was measured by hemocytometer, counting cell viability. (Table I) The results of compounds hitherto investigated are shown in Tables I and II. While the cytostatic effect of BP-82 is demonstrated in PC-3 human cell line (Table II), the growth inhibition (which reflects primarily cytotoxicity and may obscure the cytostatic property) is shown for compounds BP-196 and BP-199. It is not certain whether the cytoxicity of BP-196 can be ascribed to the taxol moiety. The toxicity of this compound vis-a-vis normal cells is also quite high. On the other hand, it appears that such targeting does occur with BP-199 which is most cytotoxic in the human prostate cancer lines containing at least some androgen receptors, but has low cytotoxicity in a variety of other human transformed and normal cells. The androgenic and anti-androgenic activity of the cunent and novel compounds was tested in a specific assay described by Fuhrman et al. [J. Steroid Biochem. Molec. Biol. 1992;42:787-793]. This assay uses CV-1 cells derived from monkeys transfected with human androgen receptors. (Table III and IV).
