The present invention relates to new triazole compounds, a pharmaceutical agent, the use of triazole compounds, a process for their preparation and new intermediates. Triazole compounds are useful in therapy, especially in the treatment of fungal infections in humans and other mammals.
A large number of antifungal triazole compounds are known. For example, European Patent Application No. 0440372, Example 7, discloses (2R, 3S) -2- (2,4-difluorophenyl) -3- (5-fluoro-4-pyrimidinyl) -1 - (1H-1,2 , 4-triazol-1-yl) butan-2-ol (also known as voriconazole), showing particularly good activity against the clinically important Aspergillus spp. Fungi. However, this compound has poor solubility in aqueous environments, making it necessary to use complexing agents to obtain satisfactory aqueous preparations such as intravenous injections. European Patent Application No. 0440372 suggests co-formulation with cyclodextrin derivatives to improve solubility, however it is always advantageous to use as few ingredients as possible in the formulation to minimize the possibility of side effects in patients.

British Patent Application No. 2128193 discloses the use of phosphoric acid esters for use on plants as fungicides and insecticides.
In an article by Maurin et al., Int. J. Pharm, 1993, 94 (1-3), 11-14, α- (2,4-difluorophenyl) -a - [(1- (2- (3-pyridyl) bismesylate is disclosed ) phenylethenyl)] -1H-1,2,4-tri <o: olo-1-ethanol and is reported to be an antifungal agent with good solubility.
Other triazole antifungal agents are known from European Patent Application No. 0576201 and International Patent Application Publication No. WO 97/01552.
European Patent Application No. 0413674 discloses the production of prodrugs of therapeutically acting glycosidase inhibitors by phosphorylation of a free hydroxyl group in a molecule. However, phosphorylation of a tertiary hydroxyl group has not been described.
It has now been found that triazole antifungal compounds of the tertiary hydroxyl group type, including (2R, 3S) -2- (2,4-difluorophenyl) -3- (5-fluoro-4-pyrimidinyl) -1- (1H- 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) butan-2-ol, can be converted into prodrugs with significantly increased solubility, readily convertible in vivo to release the moiety having the desired activity.

in which R<sup>2</sup> is phenyl substituted with one or more halogen; R<sup>3</sup> is hydrogen or CH3; R<sup>3a</sup> is hydrogen, R<sup>4</sup> is a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from halogen, CH = CH- (C6H4) -OCH2CF2CHF2 and cyanophenyl; and Rc and Rd, hydroxyl protecting groups, are independently benzyl optionally substituted by one or more halogen.
According to variant ia), the phosphorylation reaction can be carried out using a solvent which does not adversely affect the reaction, e.g. methylene chloride, in the presence of a mild acid, e.g. tetrazole, 5-methyltetrazole or pyridinium hydrobromide, and optionally 4-dimethylaminopyridine, at room temperature or higher.
The obtained phosphite compound of formula IV is then reacted with an oxidizing agent, e.g., an peracid, such as 3-chloroperbenzoic acid or H2O2, to give a compound of formula V. This reaction can be carried out using a solvent that does not adversely affect the reaction, e.g. methylene chloride or ethyl acetate below room temperature, e.g. from 0 ° C to -20 ° C.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that sensitive groups may require protection and deprotection during the synthesis of compounds of the invention. This can be accomplished using known methods, e.g. those described in the "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" by TW Greene and P. G M. Wuts, John Wiley and Sons Inc, 1991.
The compounds of the invention are useful because they exhibit pharmacological activity in living organisms, including humans. In particular, these compounds are useful in the treatment or prevention of fungal infections. For example, they find use in the topical treatment of fungal infections in humans caused, among others, by Candida, Trichophyton, Microsporum or Epidermophyton species, or mucosal infections caused by Candida albicans (e.g. thrush and vaginal candidiasis). They may also be useful in the treatment of systemic fungal infections caused e.g. by Candida (e.g. Candida albicans), Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillis fumigatus, Coccidioides, Paracoccidiodes, Histoplasma or Blastomyces.
In vitro evaluation of the antifungal activity of the compounds of the invention can be carried out by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic), i.e. the concentration of the test compound in the appropriate medium at which no growth of the given microorganism occurs. In practice, a series of agar plates, each containing the test compound at a given concentration, are inoculated with a standard culture, e.g. Candida albicans, after which each plate is incubated for 48 hours at 37 ° C. The plates are then examined for the presence or absence of fungal growth and the appropriate mic values determined. Other microorganisms that can be tested in these tests are Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., Epidermophyton floccosum, Coccidioides immitis and Torulopsis glabrata.
Some compounds of the invention, although active in vivo, may not show activity in these in vitro tests.
In vivo evaluation of compounds of the invention can be carried out using a series of doses administered intraperitoneally or intravenously to mice infected with e.g. Candida albicans or Aspergillus fumigatus. Activity is assessed by survival in a given group of mice after death of the untreated group. The dose level at which the compound provides 50% protection against the lethal effect of the infection is determined (PD<sub>S</sub>about). In the case of the Aspergillus spp. Infection model, the number of mice cured of infection after a given dose allows further evaluation of activity.
When used in humans, the compounds of the invention may be administered alone, but are generally administered in a mixture with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers selected according to the intended route of administration and in accordance with standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, they can be administered orally in the form of tablets containing excipients such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or knobs, alone or in a mixture with excipients, or in the form of elixirs; solutions or suspensions containing flavoring or coloring matter. They can also be injected parenterally, e.g. intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. For parenteral administration, they are best used as an aqueous solution that may contain other substances, e.g. enough salt or glucose to make the solution isotonic with blood.
For oral or parenteral administration to human patients, the daily dose level of the compounds of the invention will be 0.01-20 mg / kg (in single or divided dose) when administered orally or parenterally. Thus, tablets or capsules with these compounds will contain from 5 mg to 0.5 g of active substance and will be administered one, two or more at a time, as needed. In any case, your doctor will determine the specific dose that is most appropriate for you and will vary depending on your age, weight and response. The above dosages are exemplary of the average case, however, there may of course be individual cases in which smaller or larger doses will be needed, which are within the scope of the invention.
Alternatively, the compounds of the invention may be administered in the form of a suppository or pessary, or may be applied topically in the form of a lotion, solution, cream (e.g. containing an aqueous emulsion of polyethylene glycols or liquid paraffin), or they may be
187 237 apply, at a concentration of 1 - 10%, to the ointment containing white wax or soft white paraffin and, if necessary, stabilizers and preservatives.
Aqueous formulations for intravenous administration are particularly preferred.
