Title: Platinum-N-heterocyclic carbene derivatives, preparation thereof and therapeutic use thereof

Description:
The present invention relates to platinum derivatives bearing a heterocyclic carbene ligand, abbreviated to N-heterocyclic carbene-platinum or NHC-Pt derivatives, their preparation and their therapeutic application. 
     Some platinum derivatives are well known as anticancer agents. The anticancer properties of the first among them, cisplatin, were discovered in 1965. Cisplatin was approved by the FDA in 1978, and then followed the approvals given, still by the FDA, to carboplatin in 1989 and to oxaliplatin in 2002, and finally satraplatin and picoplatin are currently the subject of marketing authorization applications to the FDA. Platinum exists, in the majority of these derivatives, in its oxidation state II, it is always coordinated with two amine ligands and, depending on the case, with chloride ligands for cisplatin or with an organic dicarboxylic acid derivative such as 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid (called “CBDCA”) for carboplatin, or oxalic acid for oxaliplatin. Picoplatin is also a derivative of platinum II bearing two nitrogen-containing ligands, one of which is α-picoline. Satraplatin consists of a platinum IV bonded still to two nitrogen-containing ligands, to two chlorides and to two acetate groups. 
     These compounds may be represented by the following formulae 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Among the various ligands recently developed in organometallic chemistry, carbenes rich in electrons and more specifically N-heterocyclic carbenes are very promising. The first NHC complexes were studied around the end of the 1960s by Öfele ( J. Organomet. Chem.  1968, 12, P-42) and Wanzlick ( Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl.  1968, 7, 141), but it was only from 1991 that these compounds were developed on a major scale by virtue of the work by Arduengo which made it possible to isolate the first stable diaminocarbene ( J. Am. Chem. Soc.  1991, 113, 361). 
     N-heterocyclic carbenes are neutral compounds possessing a divalent carbon with six valence electrons, which is located between two nitrogens. They are accessible, inter alia, from the corresponding imidazolium salts or olefins called “Wanzlick dimers”. From an electron point of view, a carbene is composed of a σ orbital located in the plane of the ring and a p π  orbital perpendicular thereto. In the case of diaminocarbenes, the presence of nitrogens in a promotes an electron spin singlet state where the two electrons are in the σ orbital (Gleiter, R. et al.;  J. Am. Chem. Soc.  1968, 90, 5457). 
     NHCs form very stable complexes with transition metals. These are Fischer-type complexes in which the metal-NHC bond is characterized by a strong σ donation from the carbene to the metal and a weak π retrodonation (Hu, X. et al.;  Organometallics  2004, 23, 755; L. Cavallo et al.  J. Organomet. Chem.  2005, 690, 5407). 
     The first applications in organometallic catalysis involved Heck and Suzuki type C—C coupling reactions. For these reactions, the palladium-carbene complexes are extremely advantageous catalysts because of the high stability of the metal-NHC bond and because they are easy to prepare (Herrmann, W. A. et al.;  Angew. Chem.  1995, 107, 2602). NHC complexes have very often proved more efficient in homogeneous catalysis than similar complexes bearing phosphines. The best known example relates to olefin metathesis reactions. Indeed, the work by Grubbs ( Acc. Chem. Res.  2001, 34, 18) involving the replacement of phosphine ligands by NHCs has made it possible to obtain ruthenium catalysts, called “second generation Grubbs catalysts”, which are highly efficient because of their high functional group tolerance and their mild reaction conditions. Numerous other applications exist in organometallic catalysis and there are currently a wide variety of metal-NHC complexes. Indeed, the easily modulable structure of N-heterocyclic carbenes makes it possible to quite easily introduce chiral groups, functional groups, to perform immobilizations on a support, to create chelating bidentate ligands, and the like (Herrmann, W. A.;  Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.  2002, 41, 1290). 
     A few examples of application of carbenic complexes in the biomedical field exist in the literature. Silver(I) complexes containing a bis-carbene ligand, or a caffeine derivative (Youngs, W. J. et al.;  J. Med. Chem.  2006, 49, 6811), have been synthesized in order to obtain compounds which possess antimicrobial and antifungal properties. The replacement of the metal, in these structures, by a radioactive element, such as a radioisotope of rhodium, silver, gallium or technetium, allows applications in medical imaging or for the treatment of cancer cells (Youngs, W. J. et al.; WO 2005023760 A2). 
     Moreover, bis-chelated carbenic complexes of gold(I) have been synthesized with the aim of studying their antitumour activity, by an antimitochondrial effect, in comparison with the [Au(dppe) 2 ] +  complexes already mentioned (Barnard, P. J. et al.;  J. Inorg. Biochem.  2004, 10, 1642). 
     Finally, an article by S. Ray, R. Mohan, J. K. Singh, M. K. Samantaray, M. M. Shaikh, D. Panda and P. Ghosh, in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, vol. 48, p. 15042 to 15053, which appeared on 5 Dec. 2007 under the title “Anticancer and Antimicrobial Metallopharmaceutical Agents Based on Palladium, Gold, and Silver N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes” describes, among the derivatives of metals bonded to an N-heterocyclic carbene, palladium, gold or silver complexes. In this article, are considered as active agents in oncology only palladium complexes and in particular the following derivatives:

     trans-diiodo(pyridine)(1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene)platinum(II) 
     Step 1: 1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazolium chloride 
     A solution of 1-tert-butylimidazole, which was obtained according to A. J. Arduengo (2001) U.S. Pat. No. 6,177,575, (0.31 g; 2.5 mmol) in benzyl chloride (0.3 ml; 2.5 mmol) is stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The volatiles are then evaporated under vacuum. The residue obtained is triturated in ethyl ether and then filtered, thus making it possible to obtain 0.54 g (87%) of 1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazolium chloride whose characteristics are the following:
           1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ ppm: 1.73 (s, 9H), 5.71 (s, 2H), 7.15 (m, 1H), 7.25 (m, 1H), 7.38 (m, 3H), 7.52 (m, 2H), 11.41 (s, 1H).       

     Step 2: [1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene(1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-disiloxane)]platinum(0) 
     To a solution of 1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazolium chloride (0.18 g; 0.7 mmol) in 10 ml of chloroform, there is added a 0.1 M solution of 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-disiloxaneplatinum(0) in xylene (7 ml; 0.7 mmol). The mixture is cooled to 0° C. and 0.12 g of potassium tert-butoxide (1.03 mmol) is added. The reaction mixture is stirred for 16 h at room temperature and then evaporated to dryness. The residue obtained is purified by flash chromatography by elution with a mixture of heptane and ethyl acetate (95/5 by volume). 0.17 g (42%) of [1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene(1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane)]platinum(0) is thus recovered in the form of a 1:1 mixture of two isomers.
           1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ ppm: −0.45 (s, 6H), −0.27 (s, 6H), 0.30 (s, 6H), 0.32 (s, 6H), 1.61 (s, 9H), 1.64 (s, 9H), 1.8-1.9 (m, 8H), 2.1-2.3 (m, 4H), 5.16 (s, 2H), 5.28 (s, 2H), 6.84 (br s, 1H), 6.90 (br s, 1H), 7.08 (m, 4H), 7.20-7.35 (m, 6H).       

     Step 3: trans-diiodo(pyridine)(1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene)platinum(II) 
     To a solution of (1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene)(1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane)platinum(0) (0.07 g; 0.12 mmol), obtained in the preceding step, in 5 ml of toluene at 0° C., there is added a solution of diiodine (0.03 g; 0.13 mmol) in 11 ml of toluene. Next, 15 μl of pyridine (0.12 mmol) are added to the mixture. The reaction mixture is stirred for 16 h at room temperature and then evaporated to dryness. The residue obtained is purified by flash chromatography by elution with a gradient of mixtures of heptane and ethyl acetate (80/20 to 70/30 by volume), 0.07 g (80%) of (1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene)(1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane)platinum(0) is thus recovered whose characteristics are the following:
           1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ ppm: 2.08 (s, 9H), 5.99 (s, 2H), 6.57 (d, 1H), 7.02 (d, 1H), 7.3-7.5 (m, 5H), 7.53 (m, 2H), 7.71 (m, 1H), 9.06 (m, 2H).   HRMS mass spectrum (ESI positive mode) calculated for C 19 H 23 I 2 N 3 Pt.Na: 764.9527; found for C 19 H 23 I 2 N 3 NaPt: 764.9525.

     The compounds according to the invention have been the subject of pharmacological trials which make it possible to determine their inhibitory effect on cells sensitive to platinum derivatives. 
     Trials consisted in measuring the in vitro activity of the compounds of the invention on H460 and CEM strains, and on the strains A2780, A2780 resistant to DDP, CH1, CH1 resistant to DPP and SKOV3. 
     Many tumours are resistant to platinum compounds. Two main mechanisms are involved: 
     First mechanism: The tumour resistance is attributed to inadequate levels of platinum compounds capable of reaching the DNA 
     Platinum compounds penetrate into the cell either via transporters, such as the copper transporter CRT1, or by passive diffusion across the plasma membrane. Inside the cell, the platinum compounds form reactive aqueous chemical variants which react particularly with sulphur-containing molecules such as glutathione or metallothioneins. Finally, the platinum compounds are actively exported from the cell through the copper exporters ATP7A and ATP7B, or by the exporting pump GS-X (Glutathione-S-X). The absence of CTR1 receptors, or high levels of glutathione, or high expressions of active exporters may be involved in the mechanisms of innate or acquired resistance of tumour cells to platinum compounds. 
     Second mechanism: Mechanisms of resistance of tumour cells following the binding of platinum compounds to DNA 
     In the nucleus, platinum compounds covalently bind to 2 adjacent guanines: this is referred to as the formation of adducts. However, the damage caused by these adducts can be circumvented by the cell, which can use several repair mechanisms: 
     nucleotide-excision repair (NER), inactivation or deletion of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) mechanism, bypassing of the adducts by some polymerases or weakness of the process of programmed cell death (apoptosis). All these mechanisms may be responsible for the resistance observed in many tumour cells to platinum compounds. 
     The platinum complexes of the invention are evaluated on cells expressing one or more of these mechanisms: 
     CCRF-CEM is a human T leukaemia (Cancer 1965, 18: 522-529). Oxaliplatin induces bifunctional lesions such as inter- and intra-DNA strand adducts on these CCRF-CEM cells (Mol Pharmacol 2000, 58: 920-927). CCRF-CEM cells do not possess the MLH1 protein, one of the two principal proteins involved in the MMR mechanism in human cancers. This deficiency makes these cells particularly resistant to alkylating agents and to platinum compounds. 
     NCI-H460 is a human non-small cell lung cancer which has a mutation in the K-ras gene. This cell is sensitive to platinum compounds. In this cell line, cisplatin forms more adducts than oxaliplatin at the same concentration and yet the percentage repair is higher for oxaliplatin (DNA Repair 2006, 5: 219-225). 
     SK-OV-3 is a human ovarian cancer. Like the CCRF-CEM cell, it does not have the MLH1 protein (Mol Pharmacol 2000, 58: 920-927; BMC cancer 2006; 6:201). This cell has an intrinsic mechanism of resistance to cisplatin which is linked to high levels of glutathione (Br J Cancer 1998; 78:175-180). This cell line is commonly used to explore the effects of high levels of glutathione on the resistance to platinum compounds (Br J Cancer 1996, 74: 380-386). 
     A2780 and A2780/DDP are human ovarian cancer lines. A2780 does not express the gene for the MLH1 protein (BMC cancer 2006; 6: 201). The resistance of the A2780/DDP line is of the acquired type and involves various mechanisms:—reduction in the capacity for internalization of cisplatin,—replicative bypass (this is defined as the possibility for a replicative complex to synthesize DNA beyond the site of damage) (Cancer Res 1994; 54:3500-3505),—active detoxification by glutathione (Exp Oncol 2005; 27:191-195),—low activity of Caspase-3, enzymes involved in the process of programmed cell death (J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2004; 130:423-428) and finally high nuclear efflux of platinum compounds (Oncol Rep 2004; 12:1365-1370). 
     CH1 and CH1 CisR are human ovarian cancers which are sensitive and resistant to cisplatin, respectively. The relative sensitivity of the CH1 cell may be at least partially attributed to a deficiency of a gene involved in repair processes and which is capable of removing the adducts (Chemico-Biological Interactions, 1999; 123:11-29). The CH1cisR cell is resistant to cisplatin through a poorly known mechanism of DNA repair, or increase in the tolerance of the cell to the damage caused by cisplatin to the DNA of this cell (Mol Pharmacol 2003; 63:933-944,  Cancer Res  52: 3857-3864). 
     Tests of Cytotoxicity: 
     For adherent cells: Cell proliferation is evaluated by the incorporation of  14 C-thymidine into the DNA of the cells. A549, CH1, CH1/DDP and H460 are cultured in Dulbecco&#39;s modified Eagle&#39;s medium (DMEM), SK-OV-3 in Mc-Coy medium, A2780 and A2780/DDP in RPMI1640 medium. All the media contain 10% foetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/ml of penicillin and 100 mg/ml of streptomycin. The incubation is performed at 37° C. in a 95% air/5% CO 2  atmosphere. 
     The cells, at the exponential growth phase, are introduced into the wells of a Cytostar 96-well plate, containing a scintillation fluid (Cytostar-T scintillating microplate, GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB, Uppsala, Sweden), at the density of 5×10 3  to 10 4  cells per well, in an amount of 180 μl per well. After incubating for 4 hours, the test compounds are added. The compounds are prepared beforehand as a stock solution at the concentration of 10 mM in DMSO. A serial dilution is performed before the compounds are brought into contact with the cells in a volume of 10 μl. After incubating for 72 hours at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 95% air/5% CO 2 , 0.1 μCi/well of  14 C-thymidine is added. 24 h later (total 96 h of treatment), the incorporation of  14 C-thymidine is recorded on a suitable scintillation counter (MicroBeta radioactivity counting, Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences, Boston, Mass., USA). The mean values obtained in the experimental groups are divided by the mean values obtained in the control groups in order to obtain percentages relative to the controls. 
     For the non-adherent CCRF-CEM cells, the cell viability is measured by the luminescence test CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega, Madison, Wis., USA). When it is added to the cells, the reagent produces a luminescence in the presence of the ATP of the living cells. The results are evaluated on a suitable reader (Envision, Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences, Boston, Mass., USA). 
     The CCRF-CEM cells are cultured in RPMI1640 medium containing 10% foetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/ml of penicillin and 100 mg/ml of streptomycin, at 37° C. in a 95% air/5% CO 2  atmosphere. The cells, at the exponential growth phase, are introduced into the wells of a 96-well plate at the density of 5×10 3  cells per well in an opaque plate (Greiner), in a volume of 150 μl. After incubating for 4 h at 37° C. in a 95% air/5% CO 2  atmosphere, the compounds (concentrated 20-fold) are added in a volume of 8 μl. The compounds are prepared beforehand as a stock solution at the concentration of 10 mM in DMSO. A serial dilution is performed before the compounds are brought into contact with the cells. After incubating for 96 h at 37° C., 100 μl of agents (CellTiter-Glo) are added. After lysing the cells, the release of ATP is evaluated on the Envision reader. 
     The IC 50  values are evaluated from curves presenting the percentage viability as a function of the concentration of the test compound, using the Biostat speed software. The IC 50  is defined as the concentration of the compound which inhibits 50% of the cell proliferation or 50% of the cell viability. 
     The cell viability may also be evaluated by the “Titer 96 assay” kit (Promega, Madison, Wis., USA), which uses 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulphophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium] (MTS) (Cancer Commun. 1991; 3:207-212), regardless of the cell type. This test is one of those most commonly used in the literature. It uses a colorimetric absorption method based on the capacity of the dehydrogenase enzymes of living cells to produce formazan, a brownish compound which is detectable at 490 nm. For that, after incubation, 20 μl of MTS reagent are added to the culture wells and the plate is incubated for a further 1-3 hours. A measurement of the background signal is evaluated from wells containing the cells to which 20 μl of Triton X100 were added at the end of the incubation. The cell survival is evaluated by measuring the absorbance at 490 nm using a suitable counter (Victor2 Wallac plate reader, Perkin Elmer, Boston, Mass., USA). 
     The inhibitory activity towards these strains is given by the concentration which inhibits 50% of the activity of each of them. 
     The IC 50  values of some of the compounds according to the invention are between 1 μM and 5 μM on strains sensitive to cisplatin or oxaliplatin.

     Other trials were performed which consisted in measuring the in vivo activity of the compounds of the invention, especially on the leukaemias L1210 and L1210/DDP. 
     The compounds according to the invention may therefore be used for the preparation of medicaments, in particular of medicaments inhibiting the growth of solid tumours or leukaemias in humans, in particular of solid or liquid tumours which do not satisfactorily respond to a chemotherapy based on cisplatin, carboplatin or oxaliplatin. 
     Thus, according to another of its aspects, the subject of the invention is medicaments which comprise a compound of formula (I), or a hydrate or a solvate of the compound of formula (I). 
     These medicaments find use in therapy, in particular in the treatment of cancers. They are particularly active in the treatment of solid cancers such as for example cancers of the digestive tube such as gastric or colorectal cancers, lung, breast or prostate cancers, or liquid tumours such as leukaemias. 
     According to another of its aspects, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising, as active ingredient, a compound according to the invention. These pharmaceutical compositions contain an effective dose of at least one compound according to the invention, a hydrate or a solvate of the said compound, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 
     The said excipients are chosen, according to the pharmaceutical dosage form and the desired mode of administration, from the customary excipients which are known to persons skilled in the art. 
     In the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous administration, the active ingredient of formula (I) above, or its possible solvate or hydrate, may be administered in unit dosage form, mixed with conventional pharmaceutical excipients, to animals and to human beings for the treatment of cancer diseases or disorders. 
     The appropriate unit dosage forms comprise the forms for parenteral, in particular subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous administration. 
     By way of example, a unit dosage form for a compound according to the invention in the form of a solution may comprise the following components:
