Chloroaceto hydroxamic acid as antitumor agent against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in mice.

In vivo cell growth inhibition of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) has been evaluated with chloroacetohydroxamic acid, (CHA), having -CH2 Cl, for the -NH2 group of hydroxyurea (HU). The inhibitory character of CHA against EAC in mice model has been found to be comparable with that of HU. Cell growth inhibition by CHA is accompanied by inhibitions of DNA and protein synthesis of the treated cells. The transplantability of EAC cells treated with a single dose of (100 mg/kg) CHA is found to be reduced. Enhanced intraperitoneal macrophage is observed in normal mice following CHA (100 mg/kg) treatment. Deviations of hematological parameters and alkaline phosphatase (ALKP) activity consequent to tumor growth are found to be recovered in tumor bearing mice treated with CHA. All these studies suggest the importance of CHA for further trial as a potent antitumor agent.

Methotrexate analogues. 13. Chemical and pharmacological studies on amide, hydrazide, and hydroxamic acid derivatives of the glutamate side chain.

Carbodiimide-mediated condensation of 4-amino-4-deoxy-N10-methylpteroic acid (APA) with several alkyl, aralkyl, and aryl amines, in the presence or absence of N-hydroxysuccinimide, was employed in order to prepare new lipid-soluble bis(amide) derivatives of methotrexate (MTX) as potential prodrugs. MTX dianilide was likewise prepared, in comparable yield, from APA and L-glutamic acid dianilide via the mixed carboxylic--carbonic anhydride method. Dihydrazide and bis(N-methylhydrazide) derivatives of MTX were formed readily from MTX diethyl ester. However, reaction with hydroxylamine led to MTX gamma-monohydroxamic acid as the sole isolated product. The bis adduct appears to form, but is unstable during workup. The identity of the product was confirmed by independent mixed anhydride synthesis from APA and the gamma-monohydroxamate of L-glutamic acid. Treatment of MTX dimethyl ester with N,N-dimethylhydrazine unexpectedly yielded MTX gamma-monomethyl ester. MTX dianilide was active against L1210 leukemia in mice, with a +155% increase in life span at a dose of 160 mg/kg given ip in 10% Tween 80 on a q3d X 3 schedule. The bis(p-chlorobenzylamide), bis(p-methoxybenzylamide), and dihydrazide were also active against L1210 leukemia in vivo, but to a lesser extent than the dianilide. The gamma-monohydroxamic acid derivative showed activity (+111% ILS at 40 mg/kg) similar to that of MTX and was found to bind to a partially purified dihydrofolate reductase preparation from L1210 cells with an ID50 of 0.005 microM as compared to 0.007 microM for MTX. In vivo experiments in mice indicated that the pharmacokinetic properties of this compound and of MTX are similar but failed to demonstrate any advantage over MTX in terms of selective uptake into tumor (sc implanted P388 leukemia) or improved penetration of the central nervous system. The activities of the dianilide, bis(benzylamide), and dihydrazide derivatives in vivo are of interest in view of their low toxicity relative to MTX against cells in culture, which suggests that these derivatives are probably acting as prodrugs in the intact animal.

A phase I study of intravenous LBH589, a novel cinnamic hydroxamic acid analogue histone deacetylase inhibitor, in patients with refractory hematologic malignancies.

PURPOSE: LBH589 is a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor that inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in tumor cell lines. In this phase I study, LBH589 was administered i.v. as a 30-minute infusion on days 1 to 7 of a 21-day cycle. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Fifteen patients (median age, 63 years; range, 42-87 years) with acute myeloid leukemia (13 patients), acute lymphocytic leukemia (1 patient), or myelodysplastic syndrome (1 patient) were treated with LBH589 at the following dose levels (mg/m(2)): 4.8 (3 patients), 7.2 (3 patients), 9.0 (1 patient), 11.5 (3 patient), and 14.0 (5 patients). The levels of histone acetylation were measured using quantitative flow cytometry and plasma LBH589 concentrations were assayed. RESULTS: Four dose-limiting toxicities (grade 3 QTcF prolongation) were observed, four at 14.0 mg/m(2) and one at 11.5 mg/m(2). QTcF prolongation was asymptomatic and reversed on LBH589 discontinuation. Other potentially LBH589-related toxicities included nausea (40%), diarrhea (33%), vomiting (33%), hypokalemia (27%), loss of appetite (13%), and thrombocytopenia (13%). In 8 of 11 patients with peripheral blasts, transient reductions occurred with a rebound following the 7-day treatment period. H3 acetylation increase was significant in B-cells (CD19(+); P = 0.02) and blasts (CD34(+); P = 0.04). The increase in H2B acetylation was highest in CD19(+) and CD34(+) cells [3.8-fold (P = 0.01) and 4.4-fold (P = 0.03), respectively]. The median acetylation of histones H2B and H3 in CD34(+) and CD19(+) cells significantly increased on therapy as did apoptosis in CD14(+) cells. Area under the curve increased proportionally with dose with a terminal half-life of approximately 11 hours. CONCLUSION: Intravenous administration of LBH589 was well tolerated at doses <11.5 mg/m(2) with consistent transient antileukemic and biological effects.

Differential effects of a series of hydroxamic acid derivatives on 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase from neutrophils and 12-lipoxygenase from platelets and their in vivo effects on inflammation and anaphylaxis.

The synthesis of a series of novel substituted hydroxamates has been described along with their profile of inhibitory activity against 5-lipoxygenase, 12-lipoxygenase, and cyclooxygenase enzymes. The structure--activity relationship suggests that future molecules could be designed to specifically inhibit one or more of these enzymes since there were definite differences in structure--activity relationships for these different enzymes. A representative number of these compounds have been tested in vivo and found to possess potent oral activity in a systemic anaphylaxis model mediated by leukotrienes and topical activity in an arachidonic acid induced inflammation model. One of these molecules, compound 20, demonstrated that a leukotriene antagonist pharmacophore can be modified such that it contains both antagonist activity and 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity.

Synthesis and 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activities of some novel 2-substituted 5-benzofuran hydroxamic acids.

A series of 2-substituted benzofuran hydroxyamic acids were synthesized as rigid analogs of simple (benzyloxy)phenyl hydroxamates, evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo 5-lipoxygenase activity and found to be potent inhibitors of the enzyme. Substituents which enhanced lipophilicity near the 2-position of the benzofuran nucleus increased inhibitor potency but reduced oral activity. Incorporation of small polar substituents such as methoxymethylene, hydroxymethylene, and amino (urea) on the acyl group led to more consistent oral activity. The most potent inhibitors of this series in vitro were N-hydroxy-N-[1-(2-phenyl-5-benzofuranyl)-ethyl]furancarboxamide (12) and methyl 5-[N-hydroxy-N-[1-(2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-5-benzofuranyl]ethyl]-5- oxopentanoate (17), both with IC50 values of 40 nM, and in vivo the most potent compound was N-hydroxy-N-[1-(2-phenyl-5-benzofuranyl)ethyl]urea, 20, with an ED50 = 10.3 mg/kg.

Antitumor activity of some organotin complexes of hydroxamic acids derived from dibasic carboxylic acid.

The sensitivities of normal and preneoplastic rat hepatocytes have been tested against four organotin hydroxamates in vitro. These organotin hydroxamates are soluble in lipids but not in aqueous medium. The solubility in lipid had initially been utilized in the pilot experiments with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells containing lipids in the ascites fluid. Cytochemical staining of protein and the growths of drug-treated cells in vivo have been studied for Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. Measurement of DNA synthesis, protein content and the cytochemical staining of protein have been employed for normal and preneoplastic hepatocytes. Ehrlich ascites tumor cells and the preneoplastic hepatocytes are markedly sensitive to organotin hydroxamates whereas the normal hepatocytes are less sensitive to these chemicals. The results of the present work are significant, and it may be worthwhile to study the further drug action in vivo.

Oxygen Abstraction Reactions of N-Substituted Hydroxamic Acids with Molybdenum(V) and Vanadium(III) and -(IV) Compounds.

A wide range of N-substituted mono- and dihydroxamic acids undergo oxygen abstraction on reaction with V(III), V(IV), and Mo(V) compounds to form hydroxamates of V(V) and Mo(VI) respectively together with the corresponding amides and diamides. The molybdenyl and vanadyl hydroxamates form metal-oxygen clusters under FABMS conditions. The X-ray crystal structures of [MoO(2){CH(3)(CH(2))(n)()C(O)N(C(6)H(5))O}(2) (1 and 2) (n = 4, 5) show monomeric structures with structural trans effects and consequent weakening of the Mo-O(ligand) bonds which may account for the tendency to form clusters in FABMS. In constrast, the electrospray MS of the vanadyl dihydroxamates, VO(OH)[PhN(O)C(O)(CH(2))(n)()C(O)N(O)Ph] (n = 3, 5) and VO(OH)[p-CH(3)C(6)H(4)N(O)C(O) (CH(2))(n)()C(O)N(O)C(6)H(4)-CH(3)) (n = 2, 4) show the presence of dimers in solution.

A convenient preparation of aldonohydroxamic acids in water and crystal structure of L-erythronohydroxamic acid.

Hydroxamic acids derived from aldonic acids, namely aldonohydroxamic acids, have become an increasingly important class of inhibitors of enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates. We now report the straightforward preparation of various types of aldonohydroxamic acids by a new methodology involving the use of commercial 50% aqueous hydroxylamine as the source of the free base hydroxylamine that reacts directly with the corresponding aldonolactone dissolved in water. The reaction proceeds almost instantaneously in water at room temperature, yielding generally pure products in quantitative yield. To date, this methodology is probably the most facile and efficient way to synthesize aldonohydroxamic acids. We also determined by X-ray diffraction analysis the first crystal structure of a free aldonohydroxamic acid reported to date. Crystals of L-erythronohydroxamic acid belonged to the monoclinic system, space group P2(1), a=5.511(3), b=7.556(1), c=8.071(3) A, beta=109.10 degrees, and Z=2.

Formation of a Chiral Hydroxamic Acid with an Amidase from Rhodococcus erythropolis MP50 and Subsequent Chemical Lossen Rearrangement to a Chiral Amine.

The amidase from Rhodococcus erythropolis MP50 demonstrated, in the presence of hydroxylamine, acyltransferase activity and catalyzed the formation of hydroxamates from amides and hydroxylamine. The rates of acyltransferase activity of the purified amidase for the substrates acetamide, phenylacetamide, and 2-phenylpropionamide were higher than the corresponding rates for the hydrolysis reactions. With the substrate 2-phenylpropionamide the hydrolysis reaction and the acyltransferase activity were highly enantioselective. The optically active 2-phenylpropionhydroxamate was converted by a chemical Lossen rearrangement in an aqueous medium into the enantiopure S-1-phenylethylamine.

Interaction between iron(II) and hydroxamic acids: oxidation of iron(II) to iron(III) by desferrioxamine B under anaerobic conditions.

Interaction between iron(II) and acetohydroxamic acid (Aha), alpha-alaninehydroxamic acid (alpha-Alaha), beta-alaninehydroxamic acid (beta-Alaha), hexanedioic acid bis(3-hydroxycarbamoyl-methyl)amide (Dha) or desferrioxamine B (DFB) under anaerobic conditions was studied by pH-metric and UV-Visible spectrophotometric methods. The stability constants of complexes formed with Aha, alpha-Alaha, beta-Alaha and Dha were calculated and turned out to be much lower than those of the corresponding iron(II) complexes. Stability constants of the iron(II)-hydroxamate complexes are compared with those of other divalent 3d-block metal ions and the Irving-Williams series of stabilities was found to be observed. Above pH 4, in the reactions between iron(II) and desferrioxamine B, the oxidation of the metal ion to iron(III) by the ligand was found. The overall reaction that resulted in the formation of the tris-hydroxamato complex [Fe(HDFB)]+ and monoamide derivative of DFB at pH 6 is: 2Fe2+ + 3H4DFB+ = 2[Fe(HDFB)]+ + H3DFB-monoamide+ + H2O + 4H+. Based on these results, the conclusion is that desferrioxamine B can uptake iron in iron(III) form under anaerobic conditions.

Synthesis, solution thermodynamics, and X-ray study of CuII [12]metallacrown-4 with GABA hydroxamic acid: an unprecedented crystal structure of a [12]MC-4 with a gamma-aminohydroxamate.

The solution equilibria of gamma-aminobutanehydroxamic acid (GABAha) with H+ and Cu2+ were investigated by potentiometry, titration calorimetry, spectrophotometry, NMR spectroscopy, and ESI-MS. The thermodynamic parameters of the CuII [12]metallacrown-4 obtained for GABAha were compared with those of the corresponding complexes of (S)-alpha-Alaha and beta-Alaha. The stability (-DeltaG0) sequence was beta-Alaha>>alpha-Alaha>GABAha, whereas the order of formation enthalpies (-DeltaH0) was beta-Alaha>>GABAha>alpha-Alaha. These data were interpreted on the basis of the dimensions of the chelate rings and the planarity of the metallamacrocycles. The CuII [12]metallacrown-4 ([12]MC-4) complex of GABAha was isolated and its crystal structure, which is the first reported for a [12]MC-4 of a gamma-aminohydroxamic acid, fully supports the structural features interpreted from the thermodynamic data.

Novel reactivity mode of hydroxamic acids: a metalla-pinner reaction.

The reaction between the nitrile complex trans-[PtCl(4)(EtCN)(2)] and benzohydroxamic acids RC(6)H(4)C([double bond]O)NHOH (R = p-MeO, p-Me, H, p-Cl, o-HO) proceeds smoothly in CH(2)Cl(2) at approximately 45 degrees C for 2-3 h (sealed tube) or under focused 300 W microwave irradiation for approximately 15 min at 50 degrees C giving, after workup, good yields of the imino complexes [PtCl(4)[NH[double bond]C(Et)ON[double bond]C(OH)(C(6)H(4)R)](2)] which derived from a novel metalla-Pinner reaction. The complexes [PtCl(4)[NH[double bond]C(Et)ON[double bond]C(OH)(C(6)H(4)R)](2)] were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), FAB mass spectrometry, and IR and (1)H and (13)C[(1)H] spectroscopies, and [PtCl(4)[NH[double bond]C(Et)ON[double bond]C(OH)(Ph)](2)] (as the bis-dimethyl sulfoxide solvate), by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The latter disclosed its overall trans-configuration with the iminoacyl species in the hydroximic tautomeric form in E-configuration which is held by N[bond]H...N hydrogen bond between the imine [double bond]NH atom and the hydroximic N atom.
