Methotrexate Analogues. 25. Chemical and Biological Studies on the γ-tert-Butyl Esters of Methotrexate and Aminopterin
摘要:
gamma-tert-Butylaminopterin (gamma-tBAMT), the first example of an aminopterin (AMT) gamma-monoester, was synthesized, and new routes to the known N10-methyl analogue gamma-tert-butyl methotrexate (gamma-tBMTX) were developed. The inhibitory effects of gamma-tBAMT on the activity of purified dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from L1210 murine leukemia cells, the growth of L1210 cells and CEM human leukemic lymphoblasts in suspension culture, and the growth of several lines of human squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in monolayer culture were compared with the effects of gamma-tBMTX and the parent acids AMT and methotrexate (MTX). Patterns of cross-resistance to gamma-tBAMT, gamma-tBMTX, and AMT among several MTX-resistant cell lines were examined. In vivo antitumor activities of gamma-tBAMT and gamma-tBMTX were compared in mice with L1210 leukemia. While the activity of gamma-tBAMT was very close to that of gamma-tBMTX in the DHFR inhibition assay, the AMT ester was more potent than the MTX ester against cells in culture and against L1210 leukemia in vivo. Only partial cross-resistance was shown against gamma-tBMTX and gamma-tBAMT in cultured cells that were resistant to MTX by virtue of a transport defect or a combination of defective transport and elevated DHFR activity.

Compounds having general formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, N-oxide, or hydrate thereof are provided herein. Also provided are methods of making the compounds and methods of their use, including in treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections.
The gamma-tert-butyl ester (1), gamma-hydrazide (2), gamma-n-butylamide (3), and gamma-benzylamide (4) derivatives of methotrexate (MTX) were synthesized from 4-amino-4-deoxy-N10-methylpteroic acid (APA) and the appropriate blocked L-glutamic acid precursors with the aid of the peptide bond forming reagent diethyl phosphorocyanidate. The affinity of these side chain modified products for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from Lactobacillus casei and L1210 mouse leukemic cells was determined spectrophotometrically or by competitive radioligand binding assay, and their cytotoxicity was evaluated against L1210 leukemic cells in culture. The results provide continuing support for the view that the "gamma-terminal region" of the MTX side chain is an attractive site for molecular modification of this anticancer agent.
