Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a ganglioside GM3 derivative containing fluorine atoms in a ceramide portion thereof, to intermediates thereof and to processes for preparing the same. 
     DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART 
     Glycolipids of mammals belong to a sphingoglycolipid which consists of a lipid portion so called ceramide in which a sphingosine of a long chain aminoalcohol is bonded to a long chain carboxylic acid via an amide linkage, a oligosaccharide chain in various types and sialic acid. Ganglioside is a collective name of sphingoglycolipids which particularly contain sialic acid. 
     Many of the gangliosides are generally localized on cell surfaces of animals, and a sialic saccharide chain portion thereof is directed to outside of the cell. Recent studies reveal that the gangliosides play an important role in fundamental life phenomena such as discrimination in cells, reception and response of information in cells, receptor function for hormone, virus, bacteria, cell toxin, etc., interceller distinction, differentiation and propagation of cells, malignant alteration, immunity, etc. 
     Among the gangliosides, attention is paid to ganglioside GM3 as a molecule which can develop various physiological activities relating to information communication in cells, differentiation and propagation of cells (S. Hakomori, J. Biol. Chem., 265 (1990), 18713-18716; M. Iwamori, Yukagaku, 40, 361-369 (1991)). In order to clarify the relationship between molecular structures of GM3 derivatives and physiological activities thereof, it is important to prepare various types of the GM3 derivatives which are constituents of biomembrane. Hasegawa synthesized a GM3 derivative in which a sialic acid portion thereof was modified in order to make the role of the sialic acid portion in ganglioside GM3 clear (A. Hasegawa, Carbohydr. Res., 230, 273 (1992)). However, modification of a ceramide portion in the ganglioside GM3 has scarcely been effected (A. Hasegawa et al., Carbohydr. Res., 9, 201 (1990)). If a GM3 derivative in which the ceramide portion thereof is modified is synthesized, physiological significance of the ceramide portion is expected to be made clear. 
     Hasegawa et al. also found out a process for introducing sialic acid to a specific position in a saccharide chain, which process is important for systematic and easy synthesis of gangliosides, and filed for patent application (Japanese Patent Kokai No. 101691/1991). However, according to the process, dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate (referred to as DMTST hereinafter) which is a reaction accelerator must be prepared immediately before the reaction. In addition, it is extremely difficult to reproduce a yield of 47%, which is described in the patent literature, in the synthesis of a sialyllactose portion which is a saccharide chain of ganglioside GM3 (see Comparative Example 1 of the present invention). 
     Kusumoto et al. report synthesis of a sialyllactose portion using similar compounds by a combination of N-bromosuccinimide and tetrabutylammonium triflate as reaction accelerators (K. Fukase et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 34, 2187, (1993)). The present inventor attempted to follow the process. However, the intended sialyllation did not proceed at all, and the lactose portion used as a starting substance was quantitatively recovered (see Comparative Example 2 of the present invention). Therefore, it is desired to provide a simpler process for synthesizing GM3 intermediates in higher yield. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It is an object of the present invention to provide a GM3 derivative having fluorine atoms in a ceramide portion thereof which is a lipid portion of ganglioside GM3, and intermediates thereof. 
     The present invention provides a fluorinated ganglioside GM3 derivative of the general formula (I): ##STR2## in which m is an integer of at least 2, n is an integer of 0 to 7 provided that m is larger than n, and R represents an alkyl group or a fluoroalkyl group. 
     The present invention also provides a fluorinated 2-azide sphingosine of the general formula (II): ##STR3## in which m is an integer of at least 2, n is an integer of 0 to 7 provided that m is larger than n, R 4  and R 5  independently represent a hydrogen atom or a protective group for a hydroxyl group, which is an intermediate of the compound represented by the general formula (I). 
     The present invention also provides a fluorinated α,β-unsaturated aldehyde of the general formula (III): ##STR4## in which m is an integer of at least 2, n is an integer of 0 to 7 provided that m is larger than n, 
     which is an intermediate of the compound represented by the general formula (II).

     It can be understood that appropriate selection of starting substances provides the fluorinated α,β-unsaturated aldehyde of the general formula (III). 
     (2) Synthesis of a fluorinated 2-azide sphingosine 
     A fluorinated 2-azide sphingosine of the general formula (II) is synthesized from the fluorinated α,β-unsaturated aldehyde obtained above. The synthesis is effected, for example, according to the process described in Carbohydrate Researches, 202 (1990), 177-191, in the following way: ##STR11## Notes: Bu 2  BOTf: di-(n-butyl)boron triflate 
     Et 3  N: triethylamine 
     Et 2  O: diethyl ether 
     TBDMSOTf: tert.-butyldimethylsilyl triflate 
     TBAF: tetrabutylammonium fluoride 
     TrCl: triphenylmethyl chloride 
     BzCl: benzoyl chloride 
     Triethylamine and Bu 2  BOTf are added to (4S)-3-bromoacetyl-4-isopropyl-2-oxazolidinone dissolved in anhydrous ether at a temperature of -78° C. The mixture is warmed to a room temperature and again cooled to -78° C. The α,β-unsaturated aldehyde obtained above which was dissolved in an anhydrous ether is dropwise added to the mixture, followed by purification procedure, to obtain (4S)-3-[(2&#39;S, 3&#39;R,4&#39;E)-2&#39;-bromo-fluorinated-3&#39;-hydroxy-4-(isopropyl)-4&#39;-octadecenoyl]-2-oxazolidinone. The compound obtained is reacted with sodium azide in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide to form an azide. The azide is reacted with 2,6-lutidine and TBDMSOTf at 0° C. in the presence of anhydrous THF, followed by the reaction with lithium boron hydride at 0° C. for 1.5 hours, to obtain (2S,3R,4E)-2-azide-3-O-tert.-butyldimethylsilyl-fluorinated-4-octadecene-1,3-diol. TBAF is reacted with the compound to obtain (2S,3R,4E)-2-azide-fluorinated-4-octadecene-1,3-diol in which a tert.-butyldimethylsilyl group is eliminated. The azide sphingosine obtained is reacted with TrCl in a THF-chloroform-pyridine mixed solvent to form a tritylated compound. It is reacted with BzCl in a pyridine-toluene mixed solvent to form a benzoylated compound. Finally, the trityl group therein is removed in methanol using BF 3  -Et 2  O to obtain an intermediate, i.e., (2S,3R,4E)-2-azide-3-O-benzoyl-fluorinated-octadecene-1,3-diol. 
     Details of reaction conditions in every reaction are described in Examples 9 to 16, 24 to 31 and 41 to 48. 
     (3) Condensation of a GM3 saccharide chain portion with the fluorinated 2-azide sphingosine 
     The fluorinated 2-azide sphingosine of the general formula (II) obtained above in which R 4  represents a protective group for a hydroxyl group and R 5  represents a hydrogen atom, is condensed with a GM3 saccharide chain portion of the general formula (VII): ##STR12## in which R 1  represents a protective group for a hydroxyl group, and R 2  represents a protective group for a carboxylic acid group, to obtain a compound of the general formula (VIII): ##STR13## in which R 1 , R 2 , m and n are the same as defined above. 
     In the present invention, the protective groups for a hydroxy group include an acetyl group, a pivaloyl group, a benzoyl group and the like. The protective groups for a carboxylic acid group include an alkyl group such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, a n-propyl group, an isopropyl group, etc., a benzyl group optionally containing substituents (for example, a methyl, an ethoxy, and an acetoamide group) in the phenyl group, etc. 
     The compound of the general formula (VII) can be synthesized according to the process described in Japanese Patent Kokai No. 101691/1991. It is synthesized in the present invention as follows: ##STR14## Notes: NIS: N-iodosuccinimide 
     Et 4  NOTf: tetraethylammonium triflate 
     MS4A: Molecular Sieve 4A 
     DBU: 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene 
     Condensation of the GM3 saccharide chain portion with the fluorinated azide sphingosine was carried out, for example, as follows: The compound of the general formula (11) and the compound of the general formula (VII) are dissolved in dichloromethane. Activated Molecular Sieve 4A is added to the mixture, followed by stirring under an argon atmosphere for 30 minutes. Then boron trifuoride-diethyl ether is dropwise added thereto under ice-cooling to react at 0° C. Details are described in Examples 17, 32 and 49. 
     (4) Reduction of an azide group in the condensed product into an amino group 
     An azide group in the condensed product of the general formula (VIII) is reduced to an amino group, for example, using a triphenylphosphine-water system, or a hydrogen sulfide-pyridine system, as described in Examples 18, 33, 50, 52 and 54 to obtain a compound of the general formula (IX): ##STR15## in which R 1 , R 2 , m and n are the same as defined above. (5) Condensation with a carboxylic acid 
     The amino group of the compound of the general formula (IX) is condensed with a carboxyl group in a carboxylic acid of the general formula (X): 
     
         RCOOH                                                      (X) 
    
     in which R represents an alkyl group or a fluoroalkyl group, using a dehydrating agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimde (DCC), diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIPC), N-ethyl-N&#39;-3-dimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide (WSCI) to form an amide group to obtain a compound of the general formula (XI): ##STR16## in which R 1 , R 2 , R, m and n are the same as defined above. 
     A molar ratio of the compound of the general formula (IX) to the compound of the general formula (X) is in the range of 1:0.5 to 1:2.0, preferably in the range of 1:1 to 1:1.1. The dehydrating agent is used in an amount of 1 to 2 moles, preferably 1 to 1.1 moles per mole of the compound of the general formula (IX). Examples of preferred solvents are dichloromethane, chloroform, dichloroethane, dimethylformamide, etc. The reaction is usually carried out at a temperature of 15° to 25° C. After completion of the reaction, posttreatments such as extraction, distillation-off of solvent, etc. are effected and, if necessary, the product is purified by means of column chromatography. 
     Examples of the condensation reaction are described in Example 18, 33, 50, 52 and 54. 
     (6) Release of protective groups 
     Protective groups of hydroxyl groups and a carboxyl group in the compound of the general formula (XI) are released to obtain a compound of the general formula (I): ##STR17## in which R, m and n are the same as defined above. 
     The release of the protective groups are, for example, effected as follows: The compound of the general formula (XI) is dissolved in anhydrous methanol, followed by addition of sodium methoxide in an amount of 2 to 4 equivalents per equivalent of the compound of the general formula (XI). The reaction mixture is reacted at a temperature of a room temperature to 50° C. for a period of 30 minutes to 10 hours to release the protective groups of a hydroxyl groups. Then the protective group of a carboxylic group is released by cooling the mixture to 0° C., adding water thereto and stirring the resulting mixture at 0° C. for 1 to 6 hours. After removing salts therein with a cation-exchange resin (H+ type), column purification is effected, for example, using Sephadex LH-20 to obtain an ganglioside GM3 derivative of the general formula (I) which contains fluorine atoms in a ceramide portion thereof. Examples of the release of the protective groups are described in Examples 19, 34, 51, 53 and 55. 
     The present invention also relates to a process for bonding sialic acid with a saccharide chain portrion to synthesize a GM3 saccharide chain portion of the general formula (VII) which is used as a raw substance for synthesizing the compound of the general formula (I). That is, the present invention relates to a process for preparing a ganglioside GM3 intermediate, comprising the step of reacting a compound the general formula (IV): ##STR18## in which R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 14 , R 15 , R 16  and R 17  each represent a hydrogen atom or a protective group of a hydroxyl group and R 18  represents a trialkylsilylethyl group wherein the alkyl group contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms, 
     with a compound of the general formula (V): ##STR19## in which R 1  represents a protective group of a hydroxyl group, R 2  represents a protective group of a carboxyl group and R 3  represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms or a phenyl group optionally having substituents, in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide and trifluoromethanesulfonate to obtain a compound of the general formula (VI): ##STR20## in which R 1  to R 18  are the same as defined above. 
     In the reaction, a molar ratio of the compound of the general formula (IV) to the compound of the general formula (V) is in the range of 1:3 to 2:1. N-iodosuccinimide is used in an amount of 1 to 10 equivalents per equivalent of the compound of the general formula (V). Examples of trifluoromethanesulfonates are tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, tetrabutyulammonium, and triethylbenzylammonium thereof. The trifuoromethanesulfonate is used in amount of 0.01 to 0.5 equivalent per equivalent of N-iodosuccinimide. Examples of preferred solvents are acetonitrile, propionitrile, and the like. The reaction is preferably carried out at temperatures of -45° to -40° C. 
     For example, the compound of the general formula (IV) and the compound of the general formula (V) are dissolved in acetonitrile. Powdery Molecular Sieve 4A is then added to the solution in twice the total weight of the compounds of the general formulae (IV) and (V). Thereafter, the resulting suspension is stirred and then cooled to -45° C. N-iodosuccinimide and then trifluoromethanesulfonate are added thereto. The mixture is stirred under an argon atmosphere at temperatures of -45° to -40° C. for about 2 hours. An example of the reaction is shown in Example 1. Conventional processes are also shown in Comparative Examples 1 and 2.

     141 mg (0.072 mmol) of the Compound (49) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 11.9 ml of pyridine and 2.4 ml of water to form a solution. Hydrogen sulfide gas was passed through the solution at a room temperature for 52 hours. After the starting substance was confirmed to disappear, hydrogen sulfide was removed from the reaction mixture, and water and pyridine were then distilled off under a reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 6 ml of anhydrous dichloromethane to form a solution, to which 96.5 mg (0.143 mmol) of perfluorooctylhexadecanoic acid and 42 mg (0.22 mmol) of WSC were added under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at a room temperature for 11.5 hours. It was then diluted with dichloromethane, washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under a reduced pressure to obtain a residue. It was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (a packing material: silica gel 60 (7734), an eluent: methanol/chloroform=1/60→1/40→1/30) to obtain 120 mg of Compound (54). Yield: 64.5%.
