Substituted O-α-D and O-β-D-multi-galactopyranosyl and glucopyranosyl 1→4 and 1→6 galactopyranosyl 1→6 α-D-glucopyranoses
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The term &#34;complement&#34; refers to a complex group of proteins in body fluids that, working together with antibodies or other factors, play an important role as mediators of immune, allergic, immunochemical and/or immunopathological reactions. The reactions in which complement participates take place in blood serum or in other body fluids, and hence are considered to be humoral reactions. 
     With regard to human blood, there are at present more than 11 proteins in the complement system. These complement proteins are designated by the letter C and by number: C1, C2, C3 and so on up to C9. The complement protein C1 is actually an assembly of subunits designated C1q, C1r and C1s. The numbers assigned to the complement proteins reflect the sequence in which they become active, with the exception of complement protein C4, which reacts after C1 and before C2. The numerical assignments for the proteins in the complement system were made before the reaction sequence was fully understood. A more detailed discussion of the complement system and its role in the body processes can be found in, for example, Bull. World Health Org., 39, 935-938 (1968); Ann. Rev. Medicine, 19, 1-24 (1968); The Johns Hopkins Med.

     The complement system can be considered to consist of three sub-systems: (1) a recognition unit (C1q) which enables it to combine with antibody molecules that have detected a foreign invader; (2) an activation unit (C1r, C1s, C2, C4, C3) which prepares a site on the neighboring membrane; and (3) an attack unit (C5, C6, C7, C8 and C9) which creates a &#34;hole&#34; in the membrane. The membrane attack unit is non-specific; it destroys invaders only because it is generated in their neighborhood. In order to minimize damage to the host&#39;s own cells, its activity must be limited in time. This limitation is accomplished partly by the spontaneous decay of activated complement and partly by interference by inhibitors and destructive enzymes. The control of complement, however, is not perfect, and there are times when damage is done to the host&#39;s cells. Immunity is, therefore, a double-edged sword. 
     Activation of the complement system also accelerates blood clotting. This action comes about by way of the complement-mediated release of a clotting factor from platelets. The biologically active complement fragments and complexes can become involved in reactions that damage the host&#39;s cells, and these pathogenic reactions can result in the development of immune-complex diseases. For example, in some forms of nephritis, complement damages the basal membrane of the kidney, resulting in the escape of protein from the blood into the urine. The disease disseminated lupus erythematosus belongs in this category; its symptoms include nephritis, visceral lesions and skin eruptions. The treatment of diphtheria or tetanus with the injection of large amounts of antitoxin sometimes results in serum sickness, an immune-complex disease. Rheumatoid arthritis also involves immune complexes. Like disseminated lupus erythematosus, it is an autoimmune disease in which the disease symptoms are caused by pathological effects of the immune system in the host&#39;s tissues. In summary, the complement system has been shown to be involved with inflammation, coagulation, fibrinolysis, antibody-antigen reactions and other metabolic processes. 
     In the presence of antibody-antigen complexes the complement proteins are involved in a series of reactions which may lead to irreversible membrane damage if they occur in the vicinity of biological membranes. Thus, while complement constitutes a part of the body&#39;s defense mechanism against infection it also results in inflammation and tissue damage in the immunopathological process. The nature of certain of the complement proteins, suggestions regarding the mode of complement binding to biological membranes and the manner in which complement effects membrane damage are discussed in Annual Review in Biochemistry, 38, 389 (1969); Journal of Immunology, 119, 1-8, 1195, 1358-1364, 1482 (1977). 
     A variety of substances have been disclosed as inhibiting the complement system, i.e., as complement inhibitors. For example, the compounds 3,3&#39;-ureylenebis[6-(2-amino-8-hydroxy-6-sulfo-1-naphthylazo)benzenesulfonic acid], tetrasodium salt (chlorazol fast pink), heparin and a sulphated dextran have been reported to have an anticomplementary effect, British Journal of Experimental Pathology, 33, 327-339 (1952). German Pat. No. 2,254,893 or South African Pat. No. 727,923 discloses certain 1-(diphenylmethyl)-4-(3-phenylallyl)piperazines useful as complement inhibitors.

     This invention is also concerned with a method of inhibiting the complement system in a body fluid, such as blood serum, which comprises subjecting body fluid complement to the action of an effective complement inhibiting amount of a compound as described hereinabove. The method of use aspect of this invention is further concerned with a method of inhibiting the complement system in a warm-blooded animal which comprises administering to said animal an effective complement inhibiting amount of a compound as described hereinabove. Body fluid can include blood, plasma, serum, synovial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, or pathological accumulcations of fluid such as pleural effusion, etc. 
     The compounds of the present invention find utility as complement inhibitors in body fluids and as such may be used to ameliorate or prevent those pathological reactions requiring the function of complement and in the therapeutic treatment of warm-blooded animals having immunologic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, certain kinds of glomerulonephritis, certain kinds of auto-allergic hemolytic anemia, certain kinds of platelet disorders and certain kinds of vasculitis. The instant compounds may also be used in the therapeutic treatment of warm-blooded animals having non-immunologic diseases such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinurea, hereditary antioneurotic edema (treated with Suramin Sodium, etc.) and inflammatory states induced by the action of bacterial of lysosomal enzymes on the appropriate complement components as for example, inflammation following coronary occlusion. They may also be useful in the treatment of transplant rejection and as blood culture and transport mediums. 
     DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The compounds of the present invention may be prepared according to the following flowchart. ##STR3## 
     In accordance with the above flowchart gal 1α,6 glc (A) is dissolved in pyridine containing anhydrous calcium sulfate with warming. Trityl chloride is added and the mixture is heated producing trityl gal 1α,6 glc (B). Further treatment with acetic anhydride and extraction into methylene chloride produces trityl peracetyl gal 1α,6 glc (C). 
     The compound (D) where R and R&#39; are selected from the following grouped pairs, ##STR4## is converted to the corresponding compound (E) where X is COCH 3  by conventional methods. Compound (E) is then brominated using hydrobromic acid in glacial acetic acid and extracting in methylene chloride to give the bromo polyacetyl sugar (F). 
     Compound (F) and (C) are then reacted with silver trifluorosulfonate in nitromethane containing calcium sulfate under anhydrous conditions and at reduced temperature. The product is extracted in methylene chloride treated with acetic anhydride in pyridine and subjected to conventional purification by chromatography to give (G) where X is COCH 3 . 
     The polyacetates (G) are then reduced to the sugars (H) by reaction in a 6:2:3 mixture of methanol, water and triethylamine for a period of several hours. The product (H) is extracted from methanol and ether. 
     The sugars (H) are converted to the poly (H-sulfate) poly salts with trimethylamine (J) where X is SO 3  H.N(CH 3 ) 3 , by treatment with trimethylamine sulfur trioxide in dimethylformamide with heat for several hours. The product (J) is extracted from ethanol. 
     The product (J) is converted to the poly (H-sulfate) poly alkali metal salt (K) by treatment with an alkali metal acetate or alkali hydroxide in trimethylamine. The product (K) is precipitated by ethanol. 
     The compounds of the present invention may be administered internally, e.g., orally, intra-articularly or parenterally, e.g., intra-articular, to a warm-blooded animal to inhibit complement in the body fluid of the animal, such inhibition being useful in the amelioration or prevention of those reactions dependent uon the function of complement, such as inflammatory process and cell membrane damage induced by antigen-antibody complexes. The range of doses may be employed depending on the mode of administration, the condition being treated and the particular compound being used. For example, for intravenous or subcutaneous use from about 5 to about 50 mg/kg/day, or every six hours for more rapidly excreted salts, may be used. For intra-articular use for large joints such as the knee, from about 2 to about 20 mg/joint per week may be used, with proportionally smaller doses for smaller joints. The dosage range is to be adjusted to provide optimum therapeutic response in the warm-blooded animal being treated. In general, the amount of compound administered can vary over a wide range to provide from about 5 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight of animal per day. The usual daily dose for a 70 kg subject may vary from about 350 mg to about 3.5 g. Unit doses of the acid or salt can contain from about 0.5 mg to about 500 mg. 
     While in general the sodium salts of the acids of the invention are suitable for parenteral use, other salts may also be prepared, such as those of primary amines, e.g., ethylamine; secondary amines, e.g., diethylamine or diethanolamine; tertiary amines, e.g., pyridine or triethylamine or 2-dimethylaminomethyldibenzofuran; aliphatic diamines, e.g., decamethylenediamine; and aromatic diamines, can be prepared. Some of these are soluble in water, others are soluble in saline solution, and still others are insoluble and can be used for purposes of preparing suspensions for injection. Furthermore, as well as the sodium salt, those of the alkali metals, such as potassium and lithium; of ammonia; and of the alkaline earth metals, such as calcium or magnesium, may be employed. It will be apparent, therefore, that these salts embrace, in general, derivatives of salt-forming cations. 
     The compounds of the present invention may also be administered topically in the form of ointments, creams, lotions and the like, suitable for the treatment of complement dependent dermatological disorders. 
     Moreover, the compounds of the present invention may be administered in the form of dental pastes, ointments, buccal tablets and other compositions suitable for application periodontally for the treatment of periodontitis and related diseases of the oral cavity. 
     In therapeutic use, the compounds of this invention may be administered in the form of conventional pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions may be formulated so as to be suitable for oral or parenteral administration. The active ingredient may be combined in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration, i.e., oral or parenteral. The compounds can be used in compositions such as tablets. Here, the principal active ingredient is mixed with conventional tabletting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, gums, or similar materials as non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable diluents or carriers. The tablets or pills of the novel compositions can be laminated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged or delayed action or predetermined successive action of the enclosed medication. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids or mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, shellac and cetyl alcohol, cellulose acetate and the like. A particularly advantageous enteric coating comprises a styrene maleic acid copolymer together with known materials contributing to the enteric properties of the coating. The tablet or pill may be colored through the use of an appropriate non-toxic dye, so as to provide a pleasing appearance. 
     The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration include suitable flavored emulsions with edible oils, such as, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, and the like, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Sterile suspensions or solutions can be prepared for parenteral use. Isotonic preparations containing suitable preservatives are also desirable for injection use. 
     The term dosage form, as described herein, refers to physically discrete units suitable for unitary dosage for warm-blooded animal subjects, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active component calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical diluent, carrier or vehicle. The specification for the novel dosage forms of this invention are indicated by characteristics of the active component and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved or the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active component for therapeutic use in warm-blooded animals as disclosed in this specification. Examples of suitable oral dosage forms in accord with this invention are tablets, capsules, pills, powder packets, granules, wafers, cachets, teaspoonfuls, dropperfuls, ampules, vials, segregated multiples of any of the foregoing and other forms as herein described. 
     The complement inhibiting activity of the compounds of this invention has been demonstrated by one or more of the following identified tests: (i) Test Code 026 (Cl inhibitor)--This test measures the ability of activated human C1 to destroy fluid phase human C2 in the presence of C4 and appropriate dilutions of the test compound. An active inhibitor protects C2 from C1 and C4; (ii) Test Code 035 (C3-C9 inhibitor)--This test determines the ability of the late components of human complement (C3-C9) to lyse EAC 142 in the presence of appropriate dilutions of the test compound. An active inhibitor protects EAC 142 from lysis by human C3-C9; (iii) Test Code 036 (C-Shunt inhibitor)--In this test human erythrocytes rendered fragile are lysed in autologous serum via the shunt pathway activated by cobra venom factor in the presence of appropriate dilutions of the test compound. Inhibition of the shunt pathway results in failure of lysis; (iv) Forssman Vasculitis Test--Here, the well known complement dependent lesion, Forssman vasculitis, is produced in guinea pigs by intradermal injection of rabbit anti-Forssman antiserum. The lesion is measured in terms of diameter, edema and hemorrhage and the extent to which a combined index of these is inhibited by prior intraperitoneal injection of the test compound at 200 mg/kg is then reported, unless otherwise stated; (v) Forssman Shock Test--Lethal shock is produced in guinea pigs by an i.v. injection of anti-Forssman antiserum and the harmonic mean death time of treated guinea pigs is compared with that of the simultaneous controls; (vi) Complement Level Reduction Test--In this test, the above dosed guinea pigs, or others are bled for serum and the complmenet level is determined in undiluted serum by the capillary tube method of U.S. Pat. No. 3,876,376 and compared to undosed control guinea pigs; (vii) Cap 50 Test--Here, appropriate amounts of the test compound are added to a pool of guinea pig serum in vitro, after which the undiluted serum capillary tube assay referred to above is run. The concentration of compound inhibiting 50% is reported. 
     With reference to Table I, guinea pigs weighing about 300 g were dosed intravenously (i.v.) or intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 200 mg/kg of the test compound dissolved in saline and adjusted to pH 7-8. One hour after dosing, the guinea pigs were decapitated, blood was collected and the serum separated. The serum was tested for whole complement using the capillary tube assay. Percent inhibition was calculated by comparison with simultaneous controls. The results appear in Table I together with resulrs of tests code 026,035, 036, Cap 50, % inhibition. Table I shows that the compounds of the invention possess highly significant in vitro and in vivo complement inhibiting activity in warm-blooded animals. Results obtained are listed in Table I.

The mixture is stirred at 0°-5° C. for one hour, filtered and the filter cake is washed with nitromethane. The filtrate is diluted with 100 ml. of methylene chloride, washed with cold saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, then twice with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to a glass. This glass is dissolved in 10 ml. of pyridine and 3 ml of acetic anhydride is added. The mixture is allowed to stand 48 hours at room temperature, then poured into ice water giving a tam solid which is washed with water, dissolved in methylene chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated leaving a gum. This gum is subjected to conventional chromatographic separation. The recovered product is dissolved in methylene chloride, filtered through diatomaceous earth, reevaporated and dried in vacuo over phosphorous pentoxide giving the desired product.

     (Glc 1α,4)6 glc 1β,6 gal 1α,6 glc 
     A 1.0 g. portion of (glc 1α,4)6 glc 1β,6 gal 1α,6 glc nonacosaacetate is dissolved by swirling at room temperature in 16 ml. of a mixture of methanol, water and triethylamine (6:2:3). The solution is allowed to stand for 18 hours and then is concentrated in vacuo at 50° C. The residue is dissolved in 5 ml. of water. A small amount of charcoal is added and the mixture is swirled, filtered through diatomaceous earth, evaporated at 50° C. to a gum and dried in vacuo over phosphorous pentoxide. This material is dissolved in 2 ml. of water and filtered through diatomaceous earth. To the filtrate is added 5 ml. of methanol and then ether. The solvent is decanted from the resulting precipitate and the gum is triturated twice with fresh ether. The solid is then dried at 110° C. in vacuo over phosphorous pentoxide. This solid is dissolved in a small amount of methanol and ether is added giving a gum. The solvents are decanted, fresh ether is added and the solid is collected and dried overnight over phosphorous pentoxide in vacuo giving the desired product.
