Spirogermanium (1;8,8-diethyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-aza-8-germaspiro[4.5]decane-2-propanamin e dihydrochloride) is a potent cytotoxic agent in vitro which has demonstrated limited activity in experimental animal tumor models. Subsequently, it has been reported that spirogermanium has antiarthritic and suppressor cell-inducing activity. We have synthesized a series of substituted 8-hetero-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane and 9-hetero-3-azaspiro[5.5]undecane analogues of spirogermanium to identify the heteroatom requirements for in vivo antiarthritic and suppressor cell-inducing activity. This structure-activity relationship study has identified that appropriately substituted silicon and carbon analogues of spirogermanium retain both antiarthritic and immunosuppressive activity, with the 8,8-dipropyl (carbon) analogue being among the most active. Following the identification of N,N-dimethyl-8,8-dipropyl-2-azaspiro[4,5]decane-2-propanamine dihydrochloride (9) as more active analogue than spirogermanium, a series of 8,8-dipropyl analogues with various amine substituents were synthesized. A number of these analogues had activity similar to that of 9. A correlation between activity in the adjuvant arthritic rat and the ability to induce suppressor cells (r = 0.894, p0.001) suggests an association between the two pharmacologic effects. While the precise biochemical mechanism(s) for the pharmacological activity is unclear, these data suggest that compounds within this series, e.g., N,N-dimethyl-8,8-dipropyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-2-propanamine dihydrochloride, may provide effective therapy in diseases of autoimmune origin and/or the prevention of rejection in tissue transplantation.
