Introduction

IPI-504 is a novel, water-soluble, potent inhibitor of heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90).

Orphan drug designation was assigned to the compound by the FDA for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal cancer (GIST).

Retaspimycin Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of a small-molecule inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) with antiproliferative and antineoplastic activities. Retaspimycinbinds to and inhibits the cytosolic chaperone functions of HSP90, which maintains the stability and functional shape of many oncogenic signaling proteins and may be overexpressed or overactive in tumor cells. Retaspimycin-mediated inhibition of HSP90 promotes the proteasomal degradation of oncogenic signaling proteins in susceptible tumor cell populations, which may result in the induction of apoptosis.

Phase I study of Retaspimycin: A phase 1 study of IPI-504 (retaspimycin hydrochloride) administered intravenously twice weekly for 2 weeks at 22.5, 45, 90, 150, 225, 300 or 400 mg/m(2) followed by 10 days off-treatment was conducted to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IPI-504 in patients with relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Anti-tumor activity and pharmacokinetics were also evaluated. Eighteen patients (mean age 60.5 years; median 9 prior therapies) were enrolled. No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were reported for IPI-504 doses up to 400 mg/m(2).

The most common treatment-related adverse event was grade 1 infusion site pain (four patients). All other treatment-related events were assessed as grade 1 or 2 in severity. The area under the curve (AUC) increased with increasing dose, and the mean half-life was approximately 2-4 h for IPI-504 and its metabolites. Four patients had stable disease, demonstrating modest single-agent activity in relapsed or relapsed/refractory MM.  (source: Leuk Lymphoma. 2011 Dec;52(12):2308-15.)

Figure Hsp90 protein partners and clients destabilized by Hsp90 inhibition (Jackson et al., 2004).

In a different approach, Infinity Pharmaceuticals has developed IPI504 (retaspimycin or 17-AAG hydroquinone, Figure 4) (Adams et al., 2005; Sydor et al., 2006), a new GA analogue, in which the quinone moiety was replaced by a dihydroquinone one. Indeed, the preclinical data suggested that the hepatotoxicity of 17-AAG was attributable to the ansamycin benzoquinone moiety, prone to nucleophilic attack.

Furthermore, it was recently reported that the hydroquinone form binds Hsp90 with more efficiency than the corresponding quinone form (Maroney et al., 2006). In biological conditions, the hydroquinone form can interconvert with GA, depending on redox equilibrium existing in cell. It has been recently proposed, that NQ01 (NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase) can produce the active hydroquinone from the quinone form of IPI504 (Chiosis, 2006).

However, Infinity Pharmaceuticals showed that if the overexpression of NQ01 increased the level of hydroquinone and cell sensitivity to IPI504, it has no significant effect on its growth inhibitory activity. These results suggest that NQ01 is not a determinant of IPI504 activity in vivo (Douglas et al., 2009).

Geldanamycin (IUPAC name ([18S-(4E,5Z,8R*.9R*.10E,12R*.13S*,14R*,l6S*)]- 9- [(aminocarbonyl)oxy]- 13- hydroxy- 8,14,19- trimetoxy- 4,10,12,16- tetramethyl- 2- azabicyclo[16.3.1.]docosa- 4,6.10,18,21- pentan- 3.20,22trion) is a benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic which may be produced by the bacterium Streptorayces hygroscopicus. Geldanamycin binds specifically to HSP90 (Heat Shock Protein 90) and alters its function.

While Hsp90 generally stabilizes folding of proteins and, in particular in tumor cells, folding of overexpressed/mutant proteins such as v-Src. Bcr-Abl and p53. the Hsp90 inhibitor Geldanamycin induces degradation of such proteins.

The respectiv e formula of geldanamycin is given herein below:

E\en though geldanamycin is a potent antitumor agent, the use of geldanamycin also shows some negathe side-effects (e.g. hepatotoxicity) which led to the dev elopment of geldanamycin analogues/derivatives, in particular analogues/deriv atives containing a derivatisation at the 17 position. Without being bound by theory , modification at the 17 position of geldanamycin may lead to decreases hepatotoxicity.

Accordingly geldanamycin analogues/derivatives which are modified at the 17 position, such as 17-AAG (17-N-Allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin), are preferred in context of the present invention. Also preferred herein are geldanamycin derivatives to be used in accordance with the present invention which are water-soluble or which can be dissoh ed in water completely (at least 90 %. more preferably 95 %. 96 %. 97 %, 98 % and most preferably 99 %). 17-AAG ([QS.5S,6RJS$EΛ0R,l \SΛ2E,14E)-2\- (allylamino)-6-hydroxy-5.11-diraethoxy-

3.7.9,15-tetramethyl-16.20.22-trioxo-17-azabicyclo[16.3.1]docosa-8,12.14,18,21-pentaen-10- yl] carbamate) is. as mentioned above a preferred derivative of geldanamycin. 17- AAG is commercially available under the trade name “Tanespimycin^“ (also known as KOS-953) for example from Kosan Biosciences Incorporated (Acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company). Tanespimycin is presently studied in phase II clinical trials for multiple myeloma and breast cancer and is usually administered intravenously.

The respective formula of 17- AAG is given herein below:

Preferred geldanamycin-derh ative (HSP90 inhibitor) to be used in context of the present invention are IPI-504 (also known as retaspiimcin or Mcdi-561 : lnfinin Pharmaceuticals (Medlmmunc/ Astra Zeneca)). Clinical trials on the use of IPI-504 (which is usually administered intravenously) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer are performed. Also alvespimycin hy drochloride (Kosan Biosciences Incorporated Acquired By : Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) is a highly potent, water-soluble and orally acti\e derivative of geldanamycin preferably used in context of the present invention.

Preparation of Air-stable Hydroquinone Derivatives of the Geldanamycin Family of Molecules

,

17-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin (10.0 g, 17.1 mmol) in ethyl acetate

(200 mL) was stirred vigorously with a freshly prepared solution of 10% aqueous sodium hydrosulfite (200 mL) for 2 h at ambient temperature. The color changed from dark purple to bright yellow, indicating a complete reaction. The layers were separated and the organic phase was dried with magnesium sulfate (15 g). The drying agent was rinsed with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined filtrate was acidified with 1.5 M hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate (12 mL) to pH 2 over 20 min. The resulting slurry was stirred for 1.5 h at ambient temperature. The solids were isolated by filtration, rinsed with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and dried at 40 °C, 1 mm Hg, for 16 h to afford 9.9 g (91%) of off-white solid. Crude hydroquinone hydrochloride (2.5 g) was added to a stirred solution of 5% 0.01 N aq. hydrochloric acid in methanol (5 mL). The resulting solution was clarified by filtration then diluted with acetone (70 mL). Solids appeared after 2-3 min. The resulting slurry was stirred for 3 h at ambient temperature, then for 1 h at 0-5 °C. The solids were isolated by filtration, rinsed with acetone (15 mL) and dried

PAPER

17-Allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG)¹ is a semisynthetic inhibitor of the 90 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) currently in clinical trials for the treatment of cancer. However, 17-AAG faces challenging formulation issues due to its poor solubility. Here we report the synthesis and evaluation of a highly soluble hydroquinone hydrochloride derivative of 17-AAG, 1a (IPI-504), and several of the physiological metabolites. These compounds show comparable binding affinity to human Hsp90 and its endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homologue, the 94 kDa glucose regulated protein (Grp94). Furthermore, the compounds inhibit the growth of the human cancer cell lines SKBR3 and SKOV3, which overexpress Hsp90 client protein Her2, and cause down-regulation of Her2 as well as induction of Hsp70 consistent with Hsp90 inhibition. There is a clear correlation between the measured binding affinity of the compounds and their cellular activities. Upon the basis of its potent activity against Hsp90 and a significant improvement in solubility, 1a is currently under evaluation in Phase I clinical trials for cancer.
