FIELD
Embodiments of the invention are directed to compounds, methods, and compositions for use in the treatment of viral infections. More specifically embodiments of the invention are 2′,4′-substituted nucleoside compounds useful for the treatment of viral infections, such as HIV, HCV, and HBV infections.
BACKGROUND
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major health problem that leads to chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, in a substantial number of infected individuals, estimated to be 2-15% of the world's population. There are an estimated 4.5 million infected people in the United States alone, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control. According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 200 million infected individuals worldwide, with at least 3 to 4 million people being infected each year. Once infected, about 20% of people clear the virus, but the rest can harbor HCV the rest of their lives. Ten to twenty percent of chronically infected individuals eventually develop liver-destroying cirrhosis or cancer. The viral disease is transmitted parenterally by contaminated blood and blood products, contaminated needles, or sexually and vertically from infected mothers or carrier mothers to their offspring. Current treatments for HCV infection, which are restricted to immunotherapy with recombinant interferon-α alone or in combination with the nucleoside analog ribavirin, are of limited clinical benefit as resistance develops rapidly. Moreover, there is no established vaccine for HCV. Consequently, there is an urgent need for improved therapeutic agents that effectively combat chronic HCV infection.
The HCV virion is an enveloped positive-strand RNA virus with a single oligoribonucleotide genomic sequence of about 9600 bases which encodes a polyprotein of about 3,010 amino acids. The protein products of the HCV gene consist of the structural proteins C, E1, and E2, and the nonstructural proteins NS2, NS3, NS4A and NS4B, and NS5A and NS5B. The nonstructural (NS) proteins are believed to provide the catalytic machinery for viral replication. The NS3 protease releases NS5B, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from the polyprotein chain. HCV NS5B polymerase is required for the synthesis of a double-stranded RNA from a single-stranded viral RNA that serves as a template in the replication cycle of HCV. Therefore, NS5B polymerase is considered to be an essential component in the HCV replication complex (K. Ishi, et al, Heptology, 1999, 29: 1227-1235; V. Lohmann, et al., Virology, 1998, 249: 108-118). Inhibition of HCV NS5B polymerase prevents formation of the double-stranded HCV RNA and therefore constitutes an attractive approach to the development of HCV-specific antiviral therapies.
HCV belongs to a much larger family of viruses that share many common features.
Flaviviridae Viruses
The Flaviviridae family of viruses comprises at least three distinct genera: pestiviruses, which cause disease in cattle and pigs; flaviviruses, which are the primary cause of diseases such as dengue fever and yellow fever; and hepaciviruses, whose sole member is HCV. The flavivirus genus includes more than 68 members separated into groups on the basis of serological relatedness (Calisher et al., J. Gen. Virol, 1993, 70, 37-43). Clinical symptoms very and include fever, encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever (Fields Virology, Editors: Fields, B. N., Knipe, D. M., and Howley, P. M., Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia, Pa., 1996, Chapter 31, 931-959). Flaviviruses of global concern that are associated with human disease include the Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever viruses (DHF), yellow fever virus, shock syndrome and Japanese encephalitis virus (Halstead, S. B., Rev. Infect. Dis., 1984, 6,251-264; Halstead, S. B., Science, 239: 476-481, 1988; Monath, T. P., New Eng. J. Med. 1988, 319, 641-643).
The pestivirus genus includes bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), classical swine fever virus (CSFV, also called hog cholera virus) and border disease virus (BDV) of sheep (Moennig, V. et al. Adv. Vir. Res. 1992, 41, 53-98). Pestivirus infections of domesticated livestock (cattle, pigs, and sheep) cause significant economic losses worldwide. BVDV causes mucosal disease in cattle and is of significant economic importance to the livestock industry (Meyers, G. and Thiel, H. J., Advances in Virus Research, 1996, 47, 53-118; Moennig V., et al., Adv. Vir. Res. 1992, 41, 53-98). Human pestiviruses have not been as extensively characterized as the animal pestiviruses. However, serological surveys indicate considerable pestivirus exposure in humans.
Pestiviruses and hepaciviruses are closely related virus groups within the Flaviviridae family. Other closely related viruses in this family include GB virus A, GB virus A-like agents, GB virus-B and GB virus-C (also called hepatitis G virus, HGV). The hepacivirus group (hepatitis C virus; HCV) consists of a number of closely related but genotypically distinguishable viruses that infect humans. There are at least 6 HCV genotypes and more than 50 subtypes. Due to the similarities between pestiviruses and hepaciviruses, combined with the poor ability of hepaciviruses to grow efficiently in cell culture, bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is often used as a surrogate to study the HCV virus.
The genetic organization of pestiviruses and hepaciviruses is very similar. These positive stranded RNA viruses possess a single large open reading frame (ORF) encoding all the viral proteins necessary for virus replication. These proteins are expressed as a poly protein that is a co- and post-translationally processed by both cellular and virus-encoded proteinases to yield the mature viral proteins. The viral proteins responsible for the replication of the viral genome RNA are located within approximately the carboxy-terminal. Two-thirds of the ORF are termed non (NS) proteins. The genetic organization and polyprotein processing of the nonstructural protein portion of the ORF for pestiviruses and hepaciviruses is very similar. For both the pestiviruses and hepaciviruses, the mature nonstructural (NS proteins, in sequential order from the amino-terminus of the nonstructural protein coding region to the carboxy-terminus of the ORF, consist of p7, NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B.
The NS proteins of pestiviruses and hepaciviruses share sequence domains that are characteristic of specific protein functions. For example, the NS3 proteins of viruses in both groups possess amino acid sequence motifs characteristic of serine proteinases and of helicases (Gorbalenya, et al., Nature, 1988, 333, 22; Bazan and Fletterick, Virology, 1989, 171, 637-639; Gorbalenyl, et al., Nucleic Acid Res., 1989, 17, 3889-3897). Similarly, the NS5B proteins of pestiviruses and hepaciviruses have the motifs characteristic of RNA-directed RNA polymerases (Koonin, E. V. and Dolja, V. V., Crit. Rev. Biochem. Molec. Biol., 1993, 28, 375-430).
The actual roles and functions of the NS proteins of pestiviruses and hepaciviruses in the lifecycle of the viruses are directly analogous. In both cases, the NS3 serine proteinase is responsible for all proteolytic processing of polyprotein precursors down stream of its position in the ORF (Wiskerchen and Collett, Virology, 1991, 184, 341-350; Bartenschlager et al., J. Virol. 1993, 67, 3835-3844; Eckart et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 1993, 192, 399-406; Grakoui et al., J. Virol. 1993, 67, 2832-2843; Grakoui et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Aci. USA, 1993, 909, 10583-10587; Hijikata et al., J. Virol. 1993, 67, 4665-4675; Tome et al., J. Virol., 1993, 67, 4017-4026). The NS4A protein, in both cases, acts as a cofactor with the NS3 serine protease (Bartenschlager et al., J. Virol. 1994, 68, 5045-5055; failla et al., J. Virol., 1994, 68, 3753-3760; Xu et al., J. Virol., 1997, 71, 5312-5322). The NS3 protein of both viruses also functions as a helicase (Kim et al., Biochem Biophys. Res. Comm., 1995, 215, '160-166; Jin and Peterson, Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 1995, 323, 47-53; Warrener and Collett, J. Virol., 1995, 69, 1720-1726). Finally, the NS5B proteins of pestiviruses and hepaciviruses have the predicted RNA-directed RNA polymerase activity (Behrens et al., EMBO, 1996, 15, 12-22; Lechmann et al., J. Virol., 1997, 71, 8416-8428; Yuan et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 1997, 232, 231-235; Hagedorn PCT WO 97/12033; Zhong et al., J. Virol., 1998, 72, 9365-9369).
Currently, there are limited treatment options for individuals infected with hepatitis C virus. The current approved therapeutic option is the use of immunotherapy with recombinant interferon-α alone or in combination with the nucleoside analog ribavirin. This therapy is limited in its clinical effectiveness and only 50% of treated patients respond to therapy. Therefore, there is significant need for more effective and novel therapies to address the unmet medical need posed by HCV infection.
A number of potential molecular targets for drug development of direct acting antivirals for anti-HCV therapeutics have now been identified including, but not limited to, the NS2-NS3 autoprotease, the N3 protease, the N3 helicase and the NS5B polymerase. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is absolutely essential for replication of the single-stranded, positive sense, RNA genome and this enzyme has elicited significant interest among medicinal chemists.
Inhibitors of HCV NS5B as potential therapies for HCV infection have been reviewed: Tan, S. L., et al., Nature Rev. Drug Discov., 2002, 1, 867-881; Walker, M. P. et al., Exp. Opin. Investigational Drugs, 2003, 12, 1269-1280; Ni, Z-J., et al., Current Opinion in Drug Discovery and Development, 2004, 7, 446-459; Beaulieu, P. L., et al., Current Opinion in Investigational Drugs, 2004, 5, 838-850; Wu, J., et al., Current Drug Targets-Infectious Disorders, 2003, 3, 207-219; Griffith, R. C., et al., Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, 2004, 39, 223-237; Carrol, S., et al., Infectious Disorders-Drug Targets, 20-06, 6, 17-29. The potential for the emergence of resistant HCV strains and the need to identify agents with broad genotype coverage supports the need for continuing efforts to identify novel and more effective nucleosides as HCV NS5B inhibitors. Nucleoside inhibitors of NS5b polymerase can act either as a non-natural substrate that results in chain termination or as a competitive inhibitor which competes with nucleotide binding to the polymerase. To function as a chain terminator the nucleoside analog must be taken up by the cell and converted in vivo to a triphosphate to compete for the polymerase nucleotide binding site. This conversion to the triphosphate is commonly mediated by cellular kinases which imparts additional structural requirements on a potential nucleoside polymerase inhibitor.
Despite the existence of efficient vaccines, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major public health problem worldwide with 400 million chronic carriers. These infected patients are exposed to a risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (Lee, W. M. 1997, N. Eng. J. Med., 337, 1733-1745). Currently, there are believed to be approximately 1.25 million chronic hepatitis B carriers just in the United States, with 200,000 people newly infected each year by contact with blood or body fluids.
Hepatitis B virus is second to tobacco as a cause of human cancer. The mechanism by which HBV induces cancer is unknown, although it is postulated that may directly trigger tumor development, or indirectly trigger tumor development through chronic inflammation, cirrhosis, and cell regeneration associated with the infection.
Hepatitis B virus has reached epidemic levels worldwide. After a two to six month incubation period in which the host is unaware of the infection, HBV infection can lead to acute hepatitis and liver damage, that causes abdominal pain, jaundice, and elevated blood levels of certain enzymes. HBV can cause fulminant hepatitis, a rapidly progressive, often fatal form of the disease in which massive sections of the liver are destroyed. Patients typically recover from acute viral hepatitis. In some patients, however, high levels of viral antigen persist in the blood for an extended, or indefinite, period, causing a chronic infection. Chronic infections can lead to chronic persistent hepatitis. Patients infected with chronic persistent HBV are most common in developing countries. By mid-1991, there were approximately 225 million chronic carriers of HBV in Asia alone, and worldwide, almost 300 million carriers. Chronic persistent hepatitis can cause fatigue, cirrhosis of the liver, and hepatocellular carcinoma, a primary liver cancer.
In western industrialized countries, high risk groups for HBV infection include those in contact with HBV carriers or their blood samples. The epidemiology of HBV is in fact very similar to that of HIV, which accounts for why HBV infection is common among patients with AIDS or HIV-associated infections. However, HBV is more contagious than HIV.
As is well known, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disease that severely compromises the human immune system, and that leads to death. The cause of AIDS has been determined to be the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). To ameliorate suffering and to prolong the lives of infected hosts new compounds and methods of treating AIDS and attacking the HIV virus continue to be sought.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug” is used throughout the specification to describe any pharmaceutically acceptable form (such as an ester, phosphate ester, salt of an ester or related group) of a compound which upon administration to a mammal, provides the active compound. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic bases and acids. Pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs refer to a compound that is metabolized, for example hydrolyzed or oxidized, in the host to form a compound of the present invention. Typical examples of prodrugs include compounds that have biologically labile protecting groups on a functional moiety of the selected compound. Prodrugs include compounds that can be oxidized, reduced, aminated, deaminated, hydroxylated, dehydroxylated, hydrolyzed, dehydrolyzed, alkylated, dealkylated, acylated, deacylated, phosphorylated, dephosphorylated to produce the active compound. The compounds of this invention possess antiviral activity against the HIV, HBV and HCV viruses, or are metabolized to a compound that exhibits such activity.
In cases where compounds are sufficiently basic or acidic to form stable nontoxic acid or base salts, administration of the compound as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be appropriate. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are organic acid addition salts formed with acids, which form a physiological acceptable anion, for example, tosylate, methanesulfonate, acetate, citrate, malonate, tartarate, succinate, benzoate, ascorbate, α-ketoglutarate, and α-glycerophosphate. Suitable inorganic salts may also be formed, including sulfate, nitrate, bicarbonate and carbonate salts.
Alternatively, pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be obtained, for example, by reacting a sufficiently basic compound such as an amine with a suitable acid affording a physiologically acceptable anion. Alkali metal (for example, sodium, potassium, or lithium) or alkaline earth metal (for example, calcium and magnesium) salts of, for example, carboxylic acids can also be made.
Any of the compounds described herein can be administered as a prodrug to increase the activity, bioavailability, stability or otherwise alter the properties of the selected compound. A number of prodrug ligands are known.
The term “host” as used herein, refers to a unicellular or multicellular organism in which the virus can replicate, including but not limited to cell lines and animals, and preferably a human. Alternatively, the host can be carrying a part of the viral genome, whose replication or function can be altered by the compounds of the present invention. The term host specifically refers to infected cells, cells transfected with all or part of the viral genome and animals.
The compounds of the present invention may be formulated in a wide variety of oral administration dosage forms and carriers. Oral administration can be in the form of tablets, coated tablets, hard and soft gelatin capsules, solutions, emulsions, syrups, or suspensions. Compounds of the present invention are efficacious when administered by suppository administration, among other routes of administration. The most convenient manner of administration is generally oral using a convenient daily dosing regimen which can be adjusted according to the severity of the disease and the patient's response to the antiviral medication.
A compound or compounds of the present invention, as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, together with one or more conventional excipients, carriers, or diluents, may be placed into the form of pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosages. The pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms may be comprised of conventional ingredients in conventional proportions, with or without additional active compounds and the unit dosage forms may contain any suitable effective amount of the active ingredient commensurate with the intended daily dosage range to be employed. The pharmaceutical compositions may be employed as solids, such as tablets or filled capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations or liquids such as suspensions, emulsions, or filled capsules for oral use; or in the form of suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration. A typical preparation will contain from about 5% to about 95% active compound or compounds (w/w). The term “preparation or “dosage form” is intended to include both solid and liquid formulations of the active compound and one skilled in the art will appreciate that an active ingredient can exist in different preparations depending on the desired dose and pharmacokinetic parameters.
The term “excipient” as used herein refers to a compound that is used to prepare a pharmaceutical composition, and is generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes excipients that are acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. The compounds of this invention can be administered alone but will generally be administered in admixture with one or more suitable pharmaceutical excipients, diluents or carriers selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.
A “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” form of an active ingredient may also initially confer a desirable pharmacokinetic property on the active ingredient which was absent in the non-salt form, and may even positively affect the pharmacodynamics of the active ingredient with respect to its therapeutic activity in the body. The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” of a compound as used herein means a salt that is pharmaceutically acceptable and that possesses the desired pharmacological activity of the parent compound. Such salts include: (1) acid addition salts, formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like; or formed with organic acids such as glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, 1,2-ethane-disulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, lauryl sulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, salicyclic acid, muconic acid, and the like or (2) basic addition salts formed with the conjugate bases of any of the inorganic acids listed above, wherein the conjugate bases comprise a cationic component selected from among Na+, K+, Mg+2, Ca+2, NHgR′′′4-g+, in which R′′′ is a C1-3 alkyl and g is a number selected from among 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. It should be understood that all references to pharmaceutically acceptable salts include solvent addition forms (solvates), water addition forms (hydrates), or crystal forms (polymorphs) as defined herein, of the same acid additions salts.
Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, pills capsules, suppositories, and dispersible granules. A solid carrier may be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier generally is a finely divided solid which is a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active component generally is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding capacity in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. Suitable carriers include but are not limited to magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like.

Martin, Mack Publishing Company, 19th Edition, Easton, Pa., which is hereby incorporated by reference. A skilled formulation scientist may modify the formulations within the teachings of the specification to provide numerous formulations for a particular route of administration without rendering the compositions of the present invention unstable or comprising their therapeutic activity.
The modification of the present compounds to render them more soluble in water or other vehicle, for example, may be easily accomplished by minor modifications (e.g., salt formulation), which are well within the ordinary skill in the art. It is also well within the ordinary skill of the art to modify the route of administration and dosage regimen of a particular compound in order to manage the pharmacokinetics of the present compounds for maximum beneficial effect in patients.
The term “medicament” means a substance used in a method of treatment and/or prophylaxis of a subject in need thereof, wherein the substance includes, but is not limited to, a composition, a formulation, a dosage from, and the like, comprising a compound of formula I. It is contemplated that the use of the compound represented by formula I in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of any of the antiviral conditions disclosed herein can be any of the compounds contemplated in any of the aspects of the invention, either alone or in combination with other compounds of the present invention.
The term “subject” means a mammal, which includes, but is not limited to, cattle, pigs, sheep, chicken, turkey, buffalo, llama, ostrich, dogs, cats, and humans, preferably the subject is a human.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” as used herein means an amount required to reduce symptoms of the disease in an individual. The dose will be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case. That dosage can vary within wide limits depending upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and general health condition of the patient, other medicaments with which the patient is being treated, the route and form of administration and the preferences and experience of the medical practitioner involved. For oral administration, a daily dosage of between about 0.1 and about 10 g, including all values in between, such as 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, and 9.5 g, per day should be appropriate in monotherapy and/or in combination therapy. A preferred daily dosage is between about 0.5 and about 7.5 g per day, a more preferred dosage is between 1.5 and about 6.0 g per day. Generally, treatment is initiated with a large initial “loading dose” to rapidly reduce or eliminate the virus followed by a decreasing of the dose to a level sufficient to prevent resurgence of the infection. One of ordinary skill in treating diseases described herein will be able, without undue experimentation and in reliance on personal knowledge, experience, and the disclosures of this application, to ascertain a therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of the present invention for a given disease and patient.
Therapeutic efficacy in HBV and HCV treatment can be ascertained from tests of liver function including, but not limited to protein levels such as serum proteins (e.g., albumin, clotting factors, alkaline phosphatase, aminotransferases (e.g., alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase), 5′-nucleosidase, C-glutaminyltranspeptidase, etc.), synthesis of bilirubin, synthesis of cholesterol, and synthesis of bile acids; a liver metabolic function, including, but not limited to, carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid and ammonia metabolism. Alternatively the therapeutic effectiveness may be monitored by measuring HBV or HCV-RNA the results of these tests will allow the dose to be optimized. For HIV, therapeutic efficacy in HIV infection can be ascertained by measuring HIV-RNA levels from plasma samples and measuring levels of CD4 cells.
The disclosed compounds or their pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or salts or pharmaceutically acceptable formulations containing these compounds are useful in the prevention and treatment of HIV infections and other related conditions such as AIDS-related complex (ARC), persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (PGL), AIDS-related neurological conditions, anti-HIV antibody positive and HIV-positive conditions, Kaposi's sarcoma, thrombocytopenia purpurea and opportunistic infections. In addition, these compounds or formulations can be used prophylactically to prevent or retard the progression of clinical illness in individuals who are anti-HIV antibody or HIV-antigen positive or who have been exposed to HIV.
Another aspect of the present invention comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by formula I and a therapeutically effective amount of another antiviral agent; wherein the administration is concurrent or alternative or sequential. It is understood that the time between alternative (or sequential) administration can range between 1-24 hours, which includes any sub-range in between including 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 hours.
It is contemplated that the another antiviral agent includes but is not limited to interferon-α, interferon-B, pegylated interferon-α, ribavirin, levovirin, viramidine, another nucleoside HIV, HBV, or HCV polymerase inhibitor, an HIV, HBV, or HCV non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitor, an HIV, HBV, or HCV protease inhibitor, an HIV, HBV, or HCV helicase inhibitor or an HIV, HBV, or HCV fusion inhibitor. When an active compound or its derivative or salt are administered in combination with another antiviral agent the activity may be increased over the parent compound. When the treatment is combination therapy, such administration may be concurrent or sequential with respect to that of the nucleoside derivatives. “Concurrent administration” as used herein thus includes administration of the agents at the same time or at different times. Administration of two or more agents at the same time can be achieved by a single formulation containing two or more active ingredients or by substantially simultaneous administration of two or more dosage forms with a single active agent.
In another embodiment for the treatment of HIV infection, the active compound or its prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be administered in combination or alternation with another antiviral agent, such as another active anti-HIV agent, including but not limited to those of the formulae above, others listed below or known in the art. In general, in combination therapy, effective dosages of two or more agents are administered together, whereas during alternation therapy, an effective dosage of each agent is administered serially. The dosage will depend on absorption, inactivation, and excretion rates of the drug as well as other factors known to those of skill in the art. It is to be noted that dosage values will also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens and schedules should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions.

Treatment of compound 42 with DMTrCl in pyridine in the presence of DMAP followed by TBSCl/imidazole selectively gave compound 44 in excellent yield. Deoxygentation of compound 44




was accomplished by treatment with methyl chlorooxoacetate in the presence of DMAP followed by AIBN/(TMS)3SiH in toluene to provide 2′-deoxynucleoside intermediate 45. Detritylation of 45 followed by Dess-Martin oxidation afforded aldehyde 47. Compound 47 was subject to Aldol-condensation followed by reduction with NaBH4 gave diol 48. Selective oxidation of 48 by Dess-Martin reagent provided intermediate 49. 5′-Hydroxy of 49 was protected with silyl to afforded intermediate 50.

Preparation of 4′-C-cyano-2′-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine (Scheme 6)
Treatment of compound 49 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in pyridine followed by heating with acetic anhydride at 120° C. in the presence of sodium acetate gave compound 52. Amination of compound 52 was accomplished by treatment of 52 with tosyl chloride in the presence of N-methylpiperidine and triethylamine followed by ammonium hydroxide to afford cytidine intermediate 53. Desilylation of 53 with TEAF and acetylation followed by treatment with methanolc ammonia produced compound 55.

Treatment of aldehyde 50 with methyltriphosphonium chloride in the presence of LiBu gave 4′-C-vinyl intermediate 56. Compound 58 was prepared by similar fashion. Further elimination of 58 to 4′-C-ethynyl analog was accomplished by treatment of 58 with LiBu. Using similar method for preparation of compound 53 from 52, amination of compounds 56 and 59 gave compounds 57 and 60, respectively.




Preparation of 4′-C-hydroxymethyl-2′-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine (Scheme 8)
Acetylation of compound 48 with acetyl anhydride gave fully protected intermediate 61. Similarly, amination of 61 followed by deprotection provided 4′-C-hydroxymethyl-2′-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine 62.

A mixture of POCl3 (94 μl, 1.009 mmol, 4.0 eq.) and triazole (331 mg, 4.793 mmol, 19.0 eq.) in dry MeCN (5 ml) was stirred at 0° C. for 5 minutes followed by a slow addition of TEA (0.74 ml). The resulting mixture was left at 0° C. for 1 hour and then a solution of the uridine (28, 163 mg, 0.252 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in dry MeCN (5 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours then filtered through a pad of celite and the solid was washed with 3 ml of MeCN. EtOAc was added (70 ml) and the solution was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, water, brine, and then the solution was concentrated. The residue was co-evaporated with dioxane (20 ml). The residue was used in the next step without purification.




To a solution of the triazole (159 mg) in MeOH (5 ml) was added sodium methoxide ( ̃240 μl, 25% wt. in MeOH, 4.0 eq.). After 30 minutes, LCMS showed the reaction was complete. To the reaction mixture was added HCl (1.1 ml, 1N, 4.0 eq.) and the mixture was concentrated. The residue was purified over silica gel, eluted with DCM-MeOH from 1% to 6% to yield 44 mg (54%) of the product as an oil.




The methoxy compound (40 mg, 135 mmol, 1.0 eq.) was dissolved in 0.5N ammonia in dioxane (5 ml). The reaction mixture was heated to 120° C. in a microwave (250 W, 150 PSI) for 3 hours. Progress of the reaction was followed by LCMS. Upon completion of the reaction the solvent was removed and the residue was purified over silica gel eluted with DCM-EtOH from 95:5 to 80:20 to yield 16.8 mg of the desired product 26 as a syrup.

Seed 5×104 cells/well in 200 μl of culture medium in a 96 well biocoated plate and incubate the plate at 37° C. with 5% CO2. After 2 days, remove carefully the supernatant, wash the cell layer with 200 μl of PBS and renew with 200 μl of assay medium with or without test compounds at 10 μM or in dose response with ratio 1:3 starting at 10 μM (all samples should be tested in duplicate). Let cells grow for 5 more days. At day 7, collect 180 μl of the supernatant per well in a blue rack (included in the DNeasy 96 tissue kit). Store at −80° C. or directly go to next step.
Extraction of Viral HBV DNA from Cell Supernatant:
Thaw the samples in the blue rack. Prepare a Proteinase K/Buffer ATL working solution (2 ml of Proteinase K+18 ml Buffer ATL) and transfer 180 ul on the top of the supernatant in each tube of the blue rack. Seal the tubes properly using the caps provided and mix by inverting the rack upside down a few times. Centrifuge up to 3000 rpm to collect any solution from the caps. Incubate at 55° C. for 15 minutes. Centrifuge up to 3000 rpm again. Carefully remove the caps and add 410 ul of Buffer AL/E to each sample. Seal the tubes using new caps, shake the rack vigorously up and down for 15 seconds and centrifuge up to 3000 rpm. Place the DNeasy 96 plate on top of QIAvac 96 vacuum manifold. Transfer the supernatant from step 8 to the DNeasy 96 plate. Apply the vacuum for a few seconds. Carefully add 500 μl of Buffer AW1 to each well. Apply the vacuum for about 1 minute. Carefully add 500 μl of Buffer AW2 to each well. Apply the vacuum for about 1 minute, flick the plate in the sink, strike the bottom side of the DNeasy 96 plate on a stack of paper towels, apply the vacuum again for 10 minutes. Heat up 10 ml of Buffer AE for a few minutes at 70° C. Place the DNeasy 96 plate on top of a rack of elution microtubes RS. To elute the DNA, add 100 μl of preheated Buffer AE to each well, apply the vacuum for 1 minute.

HBV Real Time PCR:

Prepare the HBV primers+probe mix for 200 wells (total 1500 μl) comprising 45 μl of primer 1 (100 μM), 45 μl of primer 2 (100 μM), 20 μl of probe (50 μM), and 1390 μl of nuclease free water. Select an optical 96 well reaction plate. Make the reaction mix for 100 wells comprising 1000 μl of Universal PCR Master Mix, 750 ul of HBV primers+probe mix, and 250 μl of nuclease free water. Aliquot 20 μl of the reaction mix per well. Add 5 μl per well of HBV DNA from each sample. Cover the wells with optical caps. Centrifuge for a few seconds to force all the reagents to the bottom and to eliminate the bubbles. Place the plate in the 7700 Sequence detector. Select the reporter for FAM and the volume setting for 25 μl. Start the machine and let it go 1 hour and 56 minutes. Calculate the dCt and the reduction in viral load for each test compound.

HCV Replicon Assay

HCV replicon RNA-containing Huh 7 cells (clone A cells; Apath, LLC, St. Louis, Mo.) were kept at exponential growth in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (high glucose) containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 4 mM L-glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1× nonessential amino acids, and G418 (1,000)μg/ml). Antiviral assays were performed in the same medium without G418. Cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at 1,500 cells per well, and test compounds were added immediately after seeding. Incubation time 4 days. At the end of the incubation step, total cellular RNA was isolated (RNeasy 96 kit; Qiagen). Replicon RNA and an internal control (TaqMan rRNA control reagents; Applied Biosystems) were amplified in a single-step multiplex RT-PCR protocol as recommended by the manufacturer. The HCV primers and probe were designed with Primer Express software (Applied Biosystems) and covered highly conserved 5′-untranslated region (UTR) sequences (sense primer: 5′-AGCCATGGCGTTAGTA(T)GAGTGT-3′ (SEQ ID NO:4); antisense primer: 5′-TTCCGCAGACCACTATGG-3′ (SEQ ID NO:5); and probe: 5′-FAM-CCTCCAGGACCCCCCCTCCC-TAMRA-3′ (SEQ ID NO:6)).

To express the antiviral effectiveness of a compound, the threshold RT-PCR cycle of the test compound was subtracted from the average threshold RT-PCR cycle of the no-drug control (ΔCtHCV). A ΔCt of 3.3 equals a 1-log 10 reduction (equal to the 90% effective concentration [EC90]) in replicon RNA levels. The cytotoxicity of the test compound could also be expressed by calculating the ΔCtrRNA values. The ΔΔCt specificity parameter could then be introduced (ΔCtHCV—ΔCtrRNA), in which the levels of HCV RNA are normalized for the rRNA levels and calibrated against the no-drug control.

HIV Activity

HIV screen: Primary Screening of PSI compounds are tested for antiviral HIV activity at 50 μM. The cells used are P4CCR5luc cells; they are human HIV indicator cells, which are derived from Hela cells, express CD4, CXCR4, CCR5, luciferase, and a beta-gal gene under the control of HIV-1 LTR. P4CCR5 luc cells are cultivated in DMEM, 10% FBS, Penicillin, Streptomycin, and G418 at 500 μg/ml. 100 μl of P4 CCR5-luc cells are plated at 10,000 cells per well in 96 well Opaque Assay plates and incubated overnight at 37° C. The next day, the media is aspirated from the plates and replaced by 100 μl of compound freshly diluted into media at 2×50 uM, in triplicate, for 4 hours at 37° C. The cells are then infected with 100 ul NL43 virus at 5 ng of p24 per well, in the presence of 2×20 ug/ml of DEAE-Dextran for 40-42 hours. Non infected, infected no drug and AZT controls are always present in triplicate on each plate. After infection the beta-gal is quantitated using the Galacto-Star kit from Applied Biosystems using the manufacturer instructions and the luminescence measured using a Victor apparatus from Perkin-Elmer. Results are represented as percentage inhibition compare to untreated cells. The assays are performed in 2 to 3 independent experiments.

HIV-Titration of PSI Activity to Determine EC50 on P4 CCR-Luc Cells.

P4 CCR5-luc cells are plated at 10,000 cells per well (100 μl) in 96 well Opaque Assay plates and incubated overnight at 37° C. The next day, the media is aspirated from the plates and replaced by 100 ul of compound freshly diluted into appropriate media (DMEM, 10% FBS, G418500 μg/ml, penicillin/streptomycin) at 2× final concentrations in 5 fold dilutions, usually from 2×100 μM to 2×0.032 uM, in triplicate, for 4 hours at 37° C. The cells are then infected with 100 ul NL43 wild type or mutant virus, at 5 ng to 20 ng of p24 per well, in the presence of 2×20 ug/ml of DEAE-Dextran, for 40-42 hours. Non infected and infected no drug controls are always present in 12plicate on each plate. An AZT control is tested in parallel for each experiment. After infection, the beta-gal is quantitated in the cell lysate using the Galacto-Star kit from Applied Biosystems and the luminescence measured using a Victor apparatus from Perkin-Elmer. The EC50 (Effective Concentration) is calculated using a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet that calculates the concentration necessary to inhibit the 50% of the infection. The assay is performed in at least 2 independent experiments.

Toxicity

Luciferase Assay

P4 CCR5-luc cells are plated at 10,000 cells per well (100 ul) in 96 well Opaque Assay plates and incubated overnight at 37° C. The next day, the media is aspirated from the plates and replaced by 200 ul of compound freshly diluted into media in 5 fold dilutions from 100 μM to 0.0062 μM. After 4 days of incubation at 37° C., the luciferase activity is measured in the cell lysate using the Bright Glow kit from Promega and the luminescence measured using a Victor apparatus from Perkin-Elmer.

MTS Assays

Human cells lines Huh 7 and HepG2 (liver), BxPC3 (pancreatic) and CEM (lymphoid) are used for the MTS assays in 96 wells plates. Drugs are freshly diluted in media at 2×100 μM, 50 μM, 25 μM, 10 μM, 5 μM, 1 μM and 50 μl is dispensed in triplicate in the plates. The wells at the periphery of the plate contain 100 ul of media only and will be the blank controls. A replicate control with no drug is always performed in each plate. 50 μl of cells are added to the plate, at 2000 cells per well for Huh 7, HepG2 and PxPC3, and 5000 cells per well for CEM cells. No cells are added at the periphery of the plate. The media used for Huh 7, HepG2 and BxPC3 cells is DMEM with 10% FBS, and Penicillin/streptomycin, and RPMI with 10% FBS, and Penicillin/streptomycin for CEM cells. After 8 days of incubation at 37° C., 20 μl of MTS dye from the CellTiter 96 Aqueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay kit from Promega is added to each well and the plate incubated for 2 h at 37° C. The absorbance is then read at 490 nm using the microplate reader E1800 from Biotek. The signal is calculated by subtracting the absorbance measured in the blank controls. The CC50 (Cytotoxic Concentration) value is then determined by comparing the signal obtained with the no-drug cell control with the treated cells and calculating the concentration of drug necessary to inhibit 50% of the signal in the wells treated with drugs.
