SEMI-SYNTHETIC ROUTE FOR'I'HE P'RE?AItATIOPI OF PACI.iTAREI~CMT'AXEL
AND l0-DEACETYLBACCATIhT III FROM 9-DISYDRO-13-ACETYL.BACCATIN III
BACKGROUND OF IZMENTION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[00011 The present invention relates to a semi-synthetic process for the preparation docetaxel, an anticancer drug and 10-deacetylbacxatin III, a useful precursor for making paclitaxel, the most polwlar anticancer drug, and other taxane compounds.
More partiicularly, this invention relates to a semi-syntlsctic route to synthesim docetaxel and l0-deacetylbaccatin III from 9-dihydru-13-acetylbaacatin III, a taxane compound which is isolated from Taxus Canadensis, a evergt+een bush found in Eastern Canada and Northeasbern United States.

PRIOR ART
[0002] Taxanes are substances occurring naturally in yew trees such as Taxus canadensis, which is common in Eastern Canada and the United States. One of the chemicals extracted from the needles of Taxus canadensis is 9-dihydro-13-acetylbaccatin III, which is used to produce, inter alia,l0-deacetylbaccatin II[, which is a useful intermediate for the preparation of paclitaxel and analogues tlereof.
[0003] The uucane family of terpenes is considered to be an exceptionally promising group of cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Many taxane derivatives, including paclitaxel, docetaxel, taxoultine canadensol are highly cytotoxic and possess strcmg in vivo activities in a niunber of leukemic and other tnmor systems. Paclitaxel, and a number of its derivatives, have been shown to be effective against advanced breast and ovarian cancers in clinical trials. hey have also exhibited promising activity against a number of other tumor types in preliminary investigations. Paclitaxel has recently been approved in the U.S. and Canada for the treatment of ovarian cancers.
[0004] The only available natural source of paclitaxel to date are several species of a slow growing yew (genus Taxus), wherein paclitaxel is found in very low concentratons (less than 400 parts per million) in the bark of these trees.
Thus, paclitaxel . =
can be isolated from the bark of the pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia) and ground hemlock (Taacv.t Canadensis), but the yield is very low (0.01 /.-0 .02'/s), and the isolation and purification process is too coinplicate. Furthermore the extraction is ditTicult, and the poccss is eapensive. Since removal of the bark destroys the trees and endangers the species, isolation of taxanes from the stems and needles of various Taxus species was believed to offer hope that the supply of taxanes, in pacticular paclitaxel, would become more abundant. This led to the switching from paclitaxel derived from natural to the production of semi-synthetic, starting from 10-deacetylbaccatin III, which was isolated from the needles of English yew (Tazus baccata).
[0005] Due to the structural complexity of peclitaxel, and docetaxel, partial syathesis is a far more viable approach to providing adequate supplies of paclitaxel and docetaxel. Docetaxel was originally invented by Aventis, It went to the market in 1995 and it is a fast growing anticancer drug. This drug is semi-synthetic product, also starting from 10-deacetylbacatin M. So far the commercial supply of docetaxel comes substantiatly completely from 10-deacetylbacxatin III. To date, however, the supply of 10-deacetylbaccatin III is limited due to the limited biomass resource and low isol.ation yield (ranging from 50-165 mg per ldlogcam of needles of Taxus baccata [0006] Various processes of converting 9-dihydro-13,acetylbaccatin III into 10-deacetylbaccatin III have been proposed. However, it has been found that such processes result in poor yields of final product. Thus, a need still e)ists for an efficient method for converting 9-dihydro-13 acetylbaccatin III to 10-deacetylbaccatin DI (DAB
III).
[0007] The pmaration of paclitaxel derivatives, some of which have been reported to demonstrate enhanced chemotherapeutic activity, ultimately depends upon the supply of the parent compound, namely, baccatin III. The struottue of baccatin III has the basic diterpenoid struchue of paclitaxel without the side chain at the C-13 position.
[00081 Since baccatin III is an important staring material in paclitaxel semi-synthesis, the significance of baccatin III will likely increases as more clinical studies are performed using paclitaxel. One such reason is that it appears that water-soluble paclitaxel-like compounds with slightly modified C-13 side chains may be more desirable as cancer chemotherapeutYc agents than the naturally-occurring, less water soluble . =
paclitaxel. This increases the urgent need for the peoductioa of bacartin M as a starting material to synthesize both paclitaxel and second or third generation p clitaxel-hke compounds. There is, therefore, a need for an improved method of isolating and/or syathesizing Baccatin IIL

[0009] In fact, most of the research to date regarding the semi-synthesis of pacGtaxel has involved 10-deacetylbaccatin III. The conversion of 10-deacetylbaccatin III
into paclitaxel is typically achieved by protecting the hydroxy at C-7, attachment of an acetyl group at the C-10 position, attachment of a C-13 beta-amicb ester side chain at the C-13 position through esterification of the C-13 alcohol with the.beta.-lactam moiety, and deprotecting C-7. Since the supply of 10-deacetylbaccatin IlI is limited, other sources should be pursued [00010] The following is a non-exhaustive list of patents which are believed to be relevant to the pmesent invention.

In a process for the conversion of 9-dihydro-13-acetylbaccatin III to docetaxel, the step converting 7-O-triethylsilyl-l0-deacetylbaccatin II to 10-deacetylbaccatin III, converting said 10-deacetylbaccatin III, to 7-O-trisilyl-9,10-diketobaccatin III, reacting said 7-O-trisilyl-9,10-diketobaccatin III, with a beta-lactam docetaxel side chain precursor to produce 7-O-triethylsilyl-9,10-diketobaccatin III, , and the final step of removing the beta lactam docetoxyl protective side chain from 7-0-triethylsilyl-9,10-diketodocetaxel.

A process for the conversion of 9-dihydro- 13-acetylbaccatinIII to docetaxel which comprises: effecting a triethylsilylation reaction on the 7-hyroxy group of 9-dihydro- 13-acetylbaccatin III while substantially-simultaneously converting the 10-acetyl group to a 10-hyroxy group, thereby to produce 7-O-triethylsilyl-10-deacetyl-9-dihydro-13-acetylbaccatin III; converting the 13-acetyl group on 7-O-triethylsilyl-10-deacetyl-9-dihydro-13-acetylbaccatin III to a 13-hydroxy group, thereby to produce 7-O-triethylsilyl-9,10-diketo-13-hydroxy- acetylbaccatin III; reducing the 9-ketogroup on 7-O-triethylsilyl-9,10-diketo-13-hydroxy-acetylbaccatin III, thereby to produce triethylsilyl-l0-deacetylbaccatin III; reducing the 9-10-dihydrxy groups from triethylsilyl-l0-deacetyl-9,10-dihydroxy-13-acetylbaccatin III, thereby to produce 7-O-triethylsilyl-9,10-diketo-baccatin III; effecting a triethylsilylation reaction on the 9-hyroxy group of 9-dihydro-13-acetylbaccatin III, thereby to produce 7,9-O- di(-triethylsilyl)-10-deacetyl-9-ketobaccatin III ; reacting 7,9-O- di(-triethylsilyl)-10-deacetyl-9-ketobaccatin III with a protected beta-lactam docatexl side chain precursor thereby to produce 7-O-triethylsilyl-9,10-diketodocetaxel;and removing the beta-lactam docatexl side chain precursor, thereby to produce docetaxel.
