The present invention describes novel corticosteroid compounds with anti-inflammatory effects, namely fluocinolone 16,
17-acetonide 21-butyric acid ester (11β, 16α,
17α,21-tetrahydroxy-6α,9α-difluoro-pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione
16,17-acetonide 21-butyrate) and its production method. Recently, a number of corticosteroids with anti-inflammatory effects have been used clinically as internal or external medicines. Particularly in the field of dermatology, various corticosteroids are used in the form of creams, ointments, lotions, etc. for various diseases. However, each of these drugs has its own drawbacks and cannot necessarily be said to be a satisfactory drug. The present inventors took this point into consideration and as a result of research to develop a more useful compound, the present inventors developed fluocinolone 16, which is represented by the following formula ().
17-acetonide 21-butyric acid ester was successfully provided. That is, the compound (2) according to the present invention is a useful substance that has extremely fast-acting effects in the above-mentioned pharmacological actions and also has an appropriate sustainability. Betamethasone 17-valerate (betamethasone valerate) and fluocinolone 16,17-acetonide, which have been conventionally used as clinical drugs, are relatively fast-acting, while the latter is slow-acting. In particular, the latter is slow-acting and has a long-lasting effect, so even if it is used externally, systemic effects as a side effect of corticosteroids are likely to occur when used in large quantities or repeatedly. In this regard, a large number of results have been reported by clinicians, but it is still used because it has the characteristic of long-lasting efficacy. The present inventors produced various 21-esters and investigated their effects in order to eliminate both of these drawbacks and discover a drug that also has the advantages. It seems that it is absorbed even more quickly than betamethasone 17-valerate and tends to lose its potency quickly, and
As a result, it was found that the vasoconstrictor effect was low and that it was inappropriate as a target drug (for example, the control compound betamethasone 17-valerate 21-
butyrate, etc.). On the other hand, fluocinolone 16, 17
-21-esters of acetonide have been found to be quite effective, some of them fast-acting and long-lasting. However, most are slightly inferior to fluocinolone 16,17-acetonide in terms of persistence. However, the compound () according to the present invention has excellent persistence among them, and is superior to fluocinolone 16,17-
It was found that the value tends to be higher than that of acetonide. It is clear from the test example (patch test) described below how the compound () according to the present invention has excellent immediate effect and sustainability. The compound () according to the present invention is fluocinolone
It can be easily produced by esterification reaction of 16,17-acetonide. As for the esterification method, butyric anhydride or butyric acid halide is used in the presence of a tertiary amine such as pyridine according to a conventional esterification method. When using butyric acid halide,
The reaction is completed in a short time at low temperature, and when butyric anhydride is used, the reaction is completed in several hours at room temperature. As a specific method, any suitable method can be used depending on various conditions. After the reaction is completed, the target compound can be isolated by a conventional method and purified by recrystallization or the like. The compound () according to the present invention is obtained as a stable crystalline substance, and can be prepared as an external preparation into a dosage form such as an ointment, cream, or lotion depending on the purpose, and can be provided clinically. The following is the result of examining the vasoconstriction effect of human skin (Mckenzie-Stoughton method) as proof of the effectiveness of the compound () according to the present invention.
are listed for reference. Efficacy Test The compound according to the present invention () and three control test compounds were prepared into ointments with a white petrolatum base of 0.1% and 0.01% (w/w), respectively. These test ointments were randomly assigned to be used as a patch test bandage [Finch Yambar: manufactured by Epitest (Finland)].
A fixed amount (approximately 20 mg) is administered by a third party not involved in the determination.
The plaster was applied to the flexors of both forearms of 10 healthy male adults, and the bandage was removed 16 hours later. After wiping off the drug remaining on the skin and gently rinsing with soap, two judges judged the degree of pallor 2 and 24 hours later. The pallor is marked (+++), moderate (++),
Divided into four levels: mild (+) and ineffective (-), scores of 3 points, 2 points, 1 point, and 0 points were given respectively.The results of 10 subjects were aggregated, and the average value of the two judges was calculated. Calculated. In addition, as a control compound used for comparison in this efficacy test, the compound according to the present invention ()
Fluocinolone 16,17-acetonide, which is the basis of betamethasone 17-valerate, which is a clinically useful and standard drug for screening, and the newly synthesized 21-butyrate of betamethasone 17-valerate were used. As is clear from the efficacy test results, the compound () according to the present invention showed stronger activity than all the control drugs both 2 hours and 24 hours after the determination, proving its usefulness. That is, at 0.1%, the compound of the present invention () had a faster effect than fluocinolone 16,17-acetonide, and the duration was equivalent. In addition, at 0.01%, not only the immediate effect was excellent, but the value after 24 hours was greater than that of fluocinolone 16,17-acetonide, indicating that it was excellent in persistence. From these results, the compound of the present invention () has superior rapid-acting properties to betamethasone 17-valerate, and fluocinolone 16,17-valerate.
It can be said that it has a durability equivalent to or longer than that of acetonide. It is predicted to be effective even at a concentration of 0.01% or less, requiring only a small amount to be used clinically, and therefore can be said to be a beneficial drug in terms of side effects (systemic effects).
