Title: Reactive polysaccharide derivatives, their preparation and their use

Description:
The present invention relates to reactive polysaccharide derivatives, their preparation and their use.  
      Among the polysaccharide derivatives, which come into consideration for the present invention, cyclodextrins or cydodextrin derivatives may be mentioned in particular.  
      Due to their particular properties cyclodextrins and cyclodextrin derivatives are used nowadays in numerous technical applications, for example, in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic or the chemical industry.  
      Cyclodextrins are cage like molecules of a cyclic configuration made up of a varying number of D-glucopyranosyl units, such as 6, 7 or 8 units (α-, β- or γ-cyclodextrins), connected by alpha-(1,4)-glycosidic linkages, thereby defining a central cavity. The chemical formula of α-cyclodextrin is depicted below.  
                 
 
      The natural cyclodextrins are produced from starch by the action of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase), an enzyme produced by several organisms,  Bacillus macerans  being the earliest source. The most stable three dimensional molecular configuration for these cyclic oligosaccharides takes the form of a toroid with the upper (larger) and lower (smaller) opening of the toroid presenting secondary and primary hydroxyl groups, respectively, to the solvent environment. The interior of the toroid is hydrophobic as a result of the electron rich environment provided in large part by the glycosidic oxygen atoms. It is the interplay of atomic (Van der Waals), thermodynamic (hydrogen bonding), and solvent (hydrophobic) forces that accounts for stable complexes that may be formed with chemical substances while in the apolar environment of the cydodextrin cavity. The complex exists in an equilibrium dependent upon the concentrations of the cyclodextrin, the guest molecule and water. The rate at which the associated complex is formed is determined in large part by the accessibility of the guest molecule to the cyclodextrin cavity and the magnitude of the net thermodynamic driving force.  
      Beside the natural cyclodextrins numerous cyclodextrin derivatives are already known. These derivatives are obtained by conversion with compounds capable of reacting with the hydroxy groups. Examples are the alkylated or hydroxyalkylated derivatives, such as the methylated, hydroxyethylated or hydroxypropylated cyclodextrins, which are accessible by reaction of cyclodextrin with an alkylating agent, such as dimethyl sulfate, ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. Reaction of cyclodextrin with carbonic acid anhydrides or carbonic acid halogenides, such as acetic acid anhydride, benzoyl chloride or naphthoyl chloride, yields the O-acylated derivatives. The respective carboxyl-modified derivatives are obtained, if cydodextrin is reacted with dicarbonic acid anhydrides, such as malonic acid anhydride or succinic acid anhydride. Preparation of these derivatives is known and described in the corresponding prior art.  
      Due to the number of primary and secondary hydroxyl groups lining the lower and upper ridges of the toroid in the cyclodextrin molecule susceptible to such reactions highly complex mixtures of various isomeric forms of variously substituted cyclodextrin derivatives are obtained. There are, for example, 2 21 −1 or 2,097,151 possible geometric isomers for hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. The aggregate substitution that takes place is described by a term called the degree of substitution (DS), for example, a hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin with a DS of 5.0 would be composed of a distribution of isomers in which the average number of hydroxypropyl groups per hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin molecule is five. Degree of substitution is usually determined by mass spectrometry (MS) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and does not give information as to the exact location of the substituents or the distribution of those substituents around the cyclodextrin molecule.  
      Furthermore, reactive cyclodextrin derivatives comprising at least one nitrogen-containing heterocycle having an electrophilic center are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,728,823. Reactive cydodextrin derivatives are able to react with the nucleophilic sites of different substrates and permanently modify the properties of these substrates. U.S. Pat. No. 5,728,823 teaches the preparation of cydodextrins, wherein the reactive heterocycle, such as chlorotriazine, is attached to the cyclodextrin nucleus via an ether bond. These derivatives are prone to hydrolysis, thus limiting their storage stability, which is a disadvantage with regard to their application.  
      A method for producing reactive cyclodextrins, wherein the reactive group is decoupled from the cyclodextrin nucleus by a flexible spacer, is described in the WO 03/042 449. In this case cyclodextrin is etherified with a bifunctional alkylen compound, such as a halogen-alkylen-amino compound. The terminal functions, e.g. amino groups, thus introduced into the cyclodextrin molecule serve as a nucleophilic site to bind the reactive group precursor.  
      The methods for preparation according to the prior art are not very selective and yield complex mixtures of multi-substituted derivatives along with the isomers.  
      Recently, reactive cyclodextrins have been applied also in the textile industry. Accordingly, uncomplexed cydodextrin derivatives are used as finishing agents for the treatment of fiber materials in order to reduce or prevent malodors due to perspiration. The cydodextrin molecules are attached to the fiber material and make sure that the effect stays permanent. Moreover, uncomplexed cydodextrin derivatives allow for the complexation of fragrances and perfumes or antimicrobial substances which are released slowly and impart long-lasting fragrance or a prolonged antimicrobial effect to the finished textile material. Such applications are disclosed, for example, in German Patent No. 40 35 378 and in the WO 02/022 941. The prolonged presence of antimicrobials makes the substrates more hygienic, less prone to cross contamination and fresher.  
      Nowadays there is an increasing demand for improved reactive polysaccharide derivatives which are useful in various applications, for example, as finishing agents in the textile industry, and which do not show the disadvantage of the prior art systems. In particular they should be stable when stored for a prolonged period of time without hydrolyzation of the reactive moiety. Furthermore, it is desired, e.g. from an application technology point of view, that the derivatives are well defined and do not constitute complicated mixtures of variously substituted cydodextrin derivatives and their isomers.  
      Furthermore, improved reactive polysaccharide derivatives are required in the textile industry, which may be applied concomitantly to dyeing or printing without carrying out a separate finishing step.  
      Accordingly, it is the subject of the present invention to provide a reactive polysaccharide derivative which corresponds to the following formula

 with at least n molar equivalents of a leaving group precursor P* to yield the compound of formula  
                 
    (ii) reacting the compound of formula (5) with at least n molar equivalents of the compound of the formula

      The sum of n+m corresponds to the original number of hydroxy groups in the reactive polysaccharide derivative of formula (1a) or (1b), i.e. the total number of hydroxy groups in the polysaccharide compound of formula (4), which is, for example, 18 for α-cyclodextrin, 21 for β-cyclodextrin and 24 for γ-cyclodextrin. n corresponds to the number of the radicals of the formula

Modification of said substrates with the reactive polysaccharide derivatives of formula (1a) or (1b) affects, in particular, the surface or surface near regions.  
      Accordingly, the present invention relates also to a process for the preparation of compounds or substrates modified with polysaccharide, comprising reacting the said compounds or substrates with a polysaccharide derivative of formula (1a) or (1b), wherein PS, Q 1 , Q 2 , Q 3 , B, Z 1 , Z 2 , m and n are as defined and preferred above.  
      The modification of high molecular weight compounds and the surface modification of substrates may be carried out, for example, in accordance with the methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,728,823.  
      The modified compounds or substrates thus obtained can be employed in numerous applications, such as given in U.S. Pat. No. 5,728,823.  
      Modified polymers or substrates may be used, e.g.: 
          to improve adhesion to surfaces,     to solubilize the polymer/oligomer in the corresponding matrix,     to render the polymer hydrophilic or hydrophobic,     to improve wettability and compatibility with the surrounding medium,     to increase stability to coagulation,     to modify rheology,     to improve film formation,     to complex active compounds, such as biocides, insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, herbicides, pheromones, fragrances, flavorings, pharmaceutical active compounds, active compounds for antistatic finishing or flame retardant finishing, UV-stabilizers, dyestuffs or a mixture thereof in the cydodextrin cavity and release the active compounds in a controlled manner,     to increase the bioavailability of active compounds,     to stabilize active compounds, e.g. to light, temperature, oxidation, hydrolysis, evaporation by complex formation,     to solubilize active compounds,     to extract active compounds from gaseous or liquid media,     as a filter system, i.e. to absorb undesired substances from gaseous or liquid media,     as a collector system, i.e. to absorb desired substances from gaseous or liquid media,     as selective separating media in chromatography,     decrease toxicity or irritation of active compounds by complex formation,     to absorb, complex or encapsulate substances causing unpleasant or toxic odors, e.g. degradation products, by-products of polymers etc., such as perspiration products, acetic acid, butyric acid, amines, sulfur compounds or residual monomers of toxic substances,     as formulation aid for active ingredients, e.g. as a powdered formulation.        

      Preferred as the substrates are textile fiber materials containing hydroxyl groups or containing nitrogen or paper, in particular textile fiber materials. Textile fiber materials can be in the form of fiber, yam or piece goods, such as non-wovens, knitted and woven goods, pile fabrics or terry goods. Examples are silk, wool, polyamide fibers and polyurethanes, and in particular all types of cellulosic fiber materials. Such cellulosic fiber materials are, for example, the natural cellulosic fibers, such as cotton, linen and hemp, as well as cellulose and regenerated cellulose. The reactive polysaccharide derivatives according to the invention are also suitable for finishing fibers containing hydroxy groups which are contained in blend fabrics, for example mixtures of cotton with polyester fibers or polyamide fibers. The reactive polysaccharide derivatives according to the invention are particularly suitable for finishing cellulosic materials. They can furthermore be used for finishing natural or synthetic polyamide fiber materials.  
      The reactive polysaccharide derivatives of formulae (1a) and (1b) are applied to the textile goods in aqueous solution, in analogy to the dyeing processes known for reactive dyes or finishing processes in textile industry. They are suitable both for the exhaust- and for the pad-method, in which the goods are impregnated with aqueous solutions, which may contain salts. Dyeing machines customary in dyeing with reactive dyes are preferably utilized for this. The reactive polysaccharides are fixed, if appropriate after an alkali treatment, or preferably in the presence of alkali, under the action of heat, steam or by storage at room temperature for several hours, thereby forming a chemical bond with the substrate. The reactive polysaccharide derivatives according to the invention can also be applied in the presence of crosslinking agents or resin finish, for example, dimethylol-urea, dimethoxy-methyl-urea, trimethoxy-methyl-melamin, tetramethoxy-methyl-melamine, hexamethoxy-methyl-melamine, dimethylol-dihydroxy-ethylene-urea, dimethylol-propylene-urea, dimethylol-4-methoxy-5,5′-dimethyl-propylene-urea, dimethylol-5-hydroxypropylene-urea, butane-tetra-carboxylic-acid, citric acid, maleic acid, bonding agents, for example, acrylates, silicones, urethanes, butadienes, in a textile finishing process which may result in superior effect durability. Such textile finishing processes are described, for example, in DE-A-40 35 378. After the fixing, the finished substrates are rinsed thoroughly with cold and hot water, if appropriate with the addition of an agent which has a dispersing action and promotes diffusion of the non-fixed portions.  
      The finished substrates contain, for example, 0.1 to 25% by weight, preferably 1 to 10% by weight, of the reactive polysaccharide derivative according to the present invention, based on the total weight of the substrate.  
      The finished substrates can be used to complex or encapsulate, for example, UV-stabilizers, antimicrobials, biocides, bactericides, acaricides, insecticides, fungicides, pharmaceutical active compounds, fragrances, perfumes, pheromones, vitamines or skin-, hair and textile benefit agents, e.g. UV-absorber, fatty acids, anti-irritants or inflammatory agents, to e.g. solubilize water-insoluble or poorly water-soluble substances, to increase the bioavailability of active compounds; to stabilize substances against light, temperature, oxidation, hydrolysis or from volatility, to mask bad taste or unpleasant odor, to slowly release active compounds in a controlled manner over a prolonged period of time (delivery systems). On the other side, the finished substrates are useful to assimilate chemical substances, e.g. from a gaseous or liquid environment, which are captured, e.g. in the cydodextrin cavity, thereby serving as a collector system. Such collector systems may find application in the field of medical diagnostics, help to determine pollutants from the environment or depollute or decontaminate gaseous of liquid media. Decomposition products of sweat are trapped in the cyclodextrin cavity, thus diminishing or preventing malodor. Textile materials, such as clothings finished with the inventive composition stay fresh with a pleasant smell. Laundering ensures removal of the decomposition products of sweat from the cydodextrin cavity and regeneration of the system.
