As shown in Scheme 1 compound 2 is formed by condensation of the
geldanamyacin or 4,5-dihydrogeldanamyacin 1 with an amine R8R~NH. This reaction
is generally carried out by mixing the amine and the ansamycin in an inert solvent such
as chloroform, methylene chloride, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), pyridine, acetonitrile,
5 tetrahydrofuran (THF) or a lower alcohol, preferably chloroform or methylene chloride,
at a temperature from about ambient temperature to the reflux temperature of thesolvent, preferably from about ambient temperature to about 65C.
The conversion of 1 or 2 to 3 is generally carried out by oxidizing 2 with
standard oxidizing reagents such as pyridinium chlorochromate in methylene chloride,
10 pyridinium dichromate in DMF, oxalyl chloride/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in methylene
chloride, Dess-Martin periodinane in chloroform, and Jones reagent in acetone,
preferably Dess-Martin periodinane in chloroform at reflux. Those skilled in the art will
recGy"i~e that these reagents can be used with additional, inert solvents and attemperatures ranging from -60C to the reflux temperature of the solvent.
The conversion of 3 to 4 is generally carried out by reacting 3 with
hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of a base (e.g., sodium acetate, pyridine,
sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, and triethylamine) in water
or a lower alcohol solvent at about 0C to about 100C. Preferably, 3 is combined
with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of triethylamine in ethanol at room
20 temperature.
The conversion of 3 to 5 is generally carried out under standard reductive
amination conditions such as combining the amine and 3 in an inert solvent (e.g.,
halogenated (Cl-C6) alkanes and (C1-C6)alcohols) with a suitable reducing agent (e.g.,
sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium triacetoxyborohydride and
formic acid), optionally in the presence of a dehydrating agent (e.g., sodium sulfate,
molecular sieves, and calcium sulfate), at temperatures ranging from about ambient
temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Preferably, the reaction is carried
out by combining 3, the amine, sodium triacetoxyborohydride and sodium sulfate in
1,2-dichloroethane at ambient temperature.
As shown in Scheme 2 compound 1 or 2 can be selectively 22-N-alkylated to
afford 6 by treatment with a base, such as a (Cl-C6) alkoxide, in a polar solvent, for
instance dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide, followed by reaction with an
appropriate alkylating agent, for example, an alkyl halide. Reaction temperatures are

WO 95/01342 21~ 6 3 2 ~ PCT/IB94/00160
-23-
maintained between about 5 and about 65C, optimally from about 5 to about 25C.- Alternatively, the compound 1 or 2 can be reacted with anhydrous potassium carbonate
and the alkyl halide in acetone at reflux.
Compound 7 can be prepared by treating compound 1 or 2 with
5 diethylaminosulfurtrifluoride (DAST). This reaction is performed in an inert solvent (e.g.,
methyiene chloride, chloroform and dichloroethane) at low temperature of about -78 to
abolJt 0C, preferably from about -78 to about -50C. Optimally, the reaction isquenched at low temperature with dilute aqueous base, for example 5% sodium
bicarbonate.
10Compound 1 or 2 can be converted to 11-O-acyl or 1 1-O-sulfonyl derivatives bytreatment with acylating or sulfonating agents in the presence of non-nucleophilic
bases. The acylating agents include acid anhydrides, halides and isocyanates.
Sulfonating agents include sulfonyl halides and anhydrides.
Solvents used in these reactions include a wide variety of aprotic polar and non-
15polar media, for example, acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, DMF, pyridine,
tetrahydrofuran. Bases used include 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU),
triethylamine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine. If desired, compounds 3-7 wherein R5 is
RI4O may be converted to compounds 3-7 wherein R5 is R8R9N by the method for
converting 1 to 2 in Scheme 1.
20The preparation of other compounds of the formula I not specifically describedabove can be accomplished using combinations of the above reactions that will beclear to those skilled in the art in view of the foregoing r~isclos~ ~re.
The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are
useful as antitumor agents (including, but not limited to anticancer agents) and25oncogene product inhibitors. They are useful, for example, in inhibiting the ErbB-2, src,
Ick, fyn and abl oncogene products. They are also useful in inhibiting certain growth
factors that play an important role in uncontrolled cell proliferation such as the EGF
eceptor, the NGF receptor, the PDGF receptor and the insulin receptor.
The ability of the active compounds to inhibit the ErbB-2 oncogene product may
30be determined by the following method for determining the p185 concentrations in
SKBr3 cells.
SKBr3 human breast cancer cells, obtained from the ATCC, Rockville, Maryland
were seeded in 8 well tissue culture plates (9.5 cm2/well, Falcon, Becton Dickenson,

WO 95/01342 PCT/IB94/00160 --
~fi~32~ ~
-24-
Lincoln Park, NJ) at 5 x 105 cells/well in 2 ml McCoys medium, supplemented with 10%
fetal calf serum and glutamine. Cells were allowed to attach overnight at 37C in a 5%
CO2 atmosphere.
The compounds are dissolved in DMSO and tested over a range of
5 conce, Ill ~lions by addition to the medium, followed by incubation at 37C for 6 hours.
At the end of the incubation, the medium is aspirated from the well, and the cells are
washed twice with 2 ml of TNK buffer (50 mM tris (hydroxymethyl)aminomethane
hydrochloride,140 mM NaCI, 3.3 mM KCI, 0.5 mM sodium orthovanadate, adjusted to
pH 7.4). The cells are then Iysed by addition of 250,ul boiling Laemmli sample buffer
10 (140 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloric acid, pH 6.8, 5.7% sodium
dodecyl sulfate,29% glycerol) with shaking. The cell Iysate is transferred to a tube and
then placed in a boiling water bath for 5 mins. The Iysates are then sonicated with a
probe sonicator and stored at -70C until analysis.
The p185 concer,l, ~lion of each sample may be determined by standard
15 immunoblotting procedures essentially as described by Harlow and Lane (Antibodies:
A Laboratory Manual. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988). A standard portion ofeach sample is mixed with dithiothreitol (10% added of a 1M solution), and then a
portion corresponding to--10 IJ9 of protein is blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane
(BA-S, Schleicher and Schuell, Keene, New Hampshire) equilibrated with rinse buffer
20 (10 mM Tris hydrochloric acid pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCI) by use of a dot blot apparatus
(Mini-fold, Schleicher and Schuell, Keene, New Hampshile) with an underlayer of filter
paper. The wells are rinsed with 200,ul of a rinse buffer, blocked by incubation with a
blocking buffer (5% bovine serum albumin, 1% ovalbumin in rinse buffer), and then
inc~hAted for 4 to 12 hours with a 1:1000 dilution of NT1, an affinity purified rabbit
25 polyclonal antibody raised by standard methods (Harlow and Lane, Antibodies, A
Labor~lo~ Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988) against a peptide
representing the C-terminal domain of human p186 (sequence, TAENPEYLGLDVPV, by
the standard 1 letter amino acid code). The membrane is then rinsed twice for 10minutes with rinse buffer and once for 10 minutes in rinse buffer with 0.05% Triton X-
30 100, and then twice more for 10 minutes in rinse buffer. The membrane is thenincuhAtecl with a 1 :3000 dilution of horseradish peroxidase labeled donkey anti-rabbit
antibody (Amersham, Arlington Heights, lllinois) in a rinse buffer with shaking for 20-45
minutes. The membrane is then again rinsed twice for 10 minutes in the rinse buffer,

WO 95/01342 ~ ~ 6 6 3 2 ~ PCT/IB94/00160
-25-
once for 10 minutes in the rinse buffer with 0.05% Triton X-100, and then twice more
- for 110 minutes in the rinse buffer. The pl85 is then visuAIi~ed with the ECL Detection
Kit (,~mersham, Ariington I lei~l ,ls, Illinois) and recorded with Hyperfilm-ECL (Amersham,
Arlington I laiyhl~a, Illinois). The pl 85 is then estimated by densitometric analysis of the
5 film. IC50 values are determined by reference to the pl 85 content of samples of cells
exposed only to vehicle (DMSO) and measured as described.
The ability of the active compounds to inhibit the ErbB-2 oncogene product may
be determined byfollowing the method of Kamps et al., Oncogene, 2, 305-315 (1988)
for determining the phosphorylation of pl85 in SKBR3 and other ErbB-2 transformed
10 cell lines.
The ability of the active compounds to inhibit the growth of certain human
carcinoma cells may be determined by the methods of Alley et al., Cancer Research
48, 589-601 (1988) using SKBr3 and MCF7 cell lines. This le~elence is incorporated
herein in its entirety.
When the compounds of the formula I and their pharmAceuticAIly acceptable
salts are used as antiproliferative agents, such as anticancer agents, they can be
administered to a mamr"alian subject either alone or, preferably, in combination with
phal",~ceutically acceplable carriers or diluents in a pharmaceutical co"~posilion
according to standard phar"~aceutical practice. The compounds can be ad" ,i"ialered
orally or parer,le,Glly. Parer,lelal administration includes intracenous, intramusc~ r,
intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and topical.
In general, the active compounds are administered in dosages ranging from
about 0.1 mg to about 20 mg per kg of body weight as needed (e.g., every 4 to 6
hours), preferably from about O.1 to about 15 mg per kg of body weight; variations will
necessArily occur depending upon the condition of the subject being treated and the
particular compound and dosage form being admir-ialered. It is to be noted that these
compounds may be administered in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable
carriers by either of the routes previously indicated, and that such administration can
be carried out in both single and multiple dosages.

synthetic mono or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in
the preparation of injectables.
The active compounds of the invention may also be administered in the form of
suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be
prepaled by mixing the drug with a s~itAhle non-irritating excipient which is solid at
ol di"ary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the
rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and polyethyleneglycols.
For topical use, creams, ointments, Jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc.,
containing the active compounds of the invention are employed.
For administration by inhalation, the active compounds of the invention are
conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized
packs or a nebulizer. The pr~t,r,ed composition for inhalation is a powder which may
be formulated as a cartridge from which the powder composition may be inhaled with
the aid of a suitable device. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may
be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount.
One or more other active compounds may be added to the formulations
described above to provide formulations for combination therapy. Such compounds
include cytostatic, cytotoxic and antiemetic agents conventionally used in cancer
chemotherapy, such as adriamycin.
The following examples illustrate the invention but are not to be construed as
limiting the same. All melting points are uncorrected. In the Examples, HBOC" refers
to -butoxycarbonyl .

EXAMPLES
General Methods
High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed at 1.0 mLlminute
with 254 nm detection on a 250 x 4.6 mm Dupont Zorbax Sil (trademark) column eluted
isocratically by a two-pump/mixer system supplying the in~ic~ted mixture of 1%
methanol in ethyl acetate and hexanes respectively. Samples to be thus analyzed are
lissolved in an HPLC eluent. The HPLC retention times are reported followed by the
ethyl~cet~t~/hexane ratio in parentheses. The terms ~concer,llGted in vacuo" and~coevaporated" refer to removal of solvent at water aspirator pressure on a rotary
evaporator with a bath temperature of less than 40C.
EXAMPLE 1
17-lsopropylamino4,5-dihvdro-17-demethoxyqeldanamvcin
To 4,5-dihydro-geldanamycin (75 mg, 0.13 mmol) in CHCI3 was added
isopropylamine (68,uL, 0.80 mmol) and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 24
hours at which time TLC analysis indicated the reaction was not complete. The
reac~ion mixture was then heated at reflux for 3 hours. The solvent was removed by
rotary evaporation and the purple residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1 M
hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was dried, the solvent removed by rotary
evaporation, and the crude material purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 9:1
CH2CI2:methanol) to give the title compound as a purple solid; Yield 56 mg (72%), mp

In a dry flask, sodium triacetoxyborohydride (152 mg, 0.72 mmol) in
dichloroethane (4 mL) was sonicated until a fine suspension was formed. The mixture
15 was removed from the sonicator and treated with N-aminoethylmorpholine (47 ~L, 0.36
mmol) and a few crystals of sodium sulfate. 11 -Keto-17-methylamino-17-
demethoxygeldanfi."ycin (100 mg, 0.18 mmol) was then added and the mixture stirred
at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with saturatedsodium carbonate and brine and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was
20 removed by rotary evaporation and the crude product purified by column
chromatography (silica gel, 10% methanol in methylene chloride) to give the title
compound as a purple solid; Yield 87 mg, (71%), mp 119-120C; 1H-NMR (300 MHz,

1 7-Azetidin-1 -yl-1 1 -oximino-1 7-demethoxyqeldanamvcin
To a solution of 17-azetidin-1-yl-11-keto-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (0.10 g,
0.17 mmol) in ethanol was added a solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.10 g,
1.42 mmol) and triethylamine (0.2 mL) in ethanol. The reaction mixture was stirred at
room temperature for 2.5 hours and there~rler the solvent was removed by rotary
evaporation and the residue dissolved in CHCI3. The chloroform solution was washed
with water, dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent removed by rotary evaporation.
The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 15% acetone in CHCI3)
to give 1 7-azetidino-11 -oximino-1 7-demethoxygeldanamycin (70 mg, 68 %), as a purple
powder. Mp 130-145C (dec); lH-NMR (300 MHz, CDCI3) ~ 0.98 (d, 3 H, J = 7 Hz),
