FIELD
Novel small molecule inhibitors of viral replication are disclosed, compositions containing such compounds, and therapeutic methods comprising the administration of such compounds are also disclosed.
BACKGROUND
The hepatitis C virus (HCV), a member of the hepacivirus genera within the Flaviviridae family, is the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide (Boyer, N. et al. J. Hepatol. 2000, 32, 98-112). Consequently, a significant focus of current antiviral research is directed toward the development of improved methods for the treatment of chronic HCV infections in humans (Ciesek, S., von Hahn T., and Manns, M P., Clin. Liver Dis., 2011, 15, 597-609; Soriano, V. et al, J. Antimicrob. Chemother., 2011, 66, 1573-1686; Brody, H., Nature Outlook, 2011, 474, S1-S7; Gordon, C. P., et al., J. Med. Chem. 2005, 48, 1-20; Maradpour, D., et al., Nat. Rev. Micro. 2007, 5, 453-463).
Virologic cures of patients with chronic HCV infection are difficult to achieve because of the prodigious amount of daily virus production in chronically infected patients and the high spontaneous mutability of HCV (Neumann, et al., Science 1998, 282, 103-7; Fukimoto, et al., Hepatology, 1996, 24, 1351-4; Domingo, et al., Gene 1985, 40, 1-8; Martell, et al., J. Virol. 1992, 66, 3225-9). HCV treatment is further complicated by the fact that HCV is genetically diverse and expressed as several different genotypes and numerous subtypes. For example, HCV is currently classified into six major genotypes (designated 1-6), many subtypes (designated a, b, c, and so on), and about 100 different strains (numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on).
HCV is distributed worldwide with genotypes 1, 2, and 3 predominate within the United States, Europe, Australia, and East Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and China). Genotype 4 is largely found in the Middle East, Egypt and central Africa while genotype 5 and 6 are found predominantly in South Africa and South East Asia respectively (Simmonds, P. et al. J. Virol. 84: 4597-4610, 2010).
The combination of ribavirin, a nucleoside analog, and interferon-alpha (α) (IFN), is utilized for the treatment of multiple genotypes of chronic HCV infections in humans. However, the variable clinical response observed within patients and the toxicity of this regimen have limited its usefulness. Addition of a HCV protease inhibitor (telaprevir or boceprevir) to the ribavirin and IFN regimen improves 12-week post-treatment virological response (SVR12) rates substantially. However, the regimen is currently only approved for genotype 1 patients and toxicity and other side effects remain.
The use of directing acting antivirals to treat multiple genotypes of HCV infection has proven challenging due to the variable activity of antivirals against the different genotypes. HCV protease inhibitors frequently have compromised in vitro activity against HCV genotypes 2 and 3 compared to genotype 1 (See, e.g., Table 1 of Summa, V. et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2012, 56, 4161-4167; Gottwein, J. et al, Gastroenterology, 2011, 141, 1067-1079). Correspondingly, clinical efficacy has also proven highly variable across HCV genotypes. For example, therapies that are highly effective against HCV genotype 1 and 2 may have limited or no clinical efficacy against genotype 3. (Moreno, C. et al., Poster 895, 61st AASLD Meeting, Boston, Mass., USA, Oct. 29-Nov. 2, 2010; Graham, F., et al, Gastroenterology, 2011, 141, 881-889; Foster, G. R. et al., EASL 45th Annual Meeting, Apr. 14-18, 2010, Vienna, Austria.) In some cases, antiviral agents have good clinical efficacy against genotype 1, but lower and more variable against genotypes 2 and 3. (Reiser, M. et al., Hepatology, 2005, 41, 832-835.) To overcome the reduced efficacy in genotype 3 patients, substantially higher doses of antiviral agents may be required to achieve substantial viral load reductions (Fraser, I P et al., Abstract #48, HEP DART 2011, Koloa, Hi., December 2011.)
Antiviral agents that are less susceptible to viral resistance are also needed. For example, resistance mutations at positions 155 and 168 in the HCV protease frequently cause a substantial decrease in antiviral efficacy of HCV protease inhibitors (Mani, N. Ann Forum Collab HIV Res., 2012, 14, 1-8; Romano, K P et al, PNAS, 2010, 107, 20986-20991; Lenz O, Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2010, 54, 1878-1887.)
In view of the limitations of current HCV therapy, there is a need to develop more effective anti-HCV therapies. It would also be useful to provide therapies that are effective against multiple HCV genotypes and subtypes.

Stereoisomers
Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds (1994) John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York.
The term “chiral” refers to molecules which have the property of non-superimposability of the mirror image partner, while the term “achiral” refers to molecules which are superimposable on their mirror image partner.
“Isomers” are different compounds that have the same molecular formula.
Isomers include stereoisomers, enantiomers and diastereomers.
“Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other.
“Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a “racemic” mixture. The term “(±)” is used to designate a racemic mixture where appropriate.
The term “stereoisomers” refers to compounds which have identical chemical constitution, but differ with regard to the arrangement of the atoms or groups in space.
The compounds disclosed herein may have chiral centers, e.g., chiral carbon atoms. Such compounds thus include racemic mixtures of all stereoisomers, including enantiomers, diastereomers, and atropisomers. In addition, the compounds disclosed herein include enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric, chiral atoms. In other words, the chiral centers apparent from the depictions are provided as the chiral isomers or racemic mixtures. Both racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers isolated or synthesized, substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, are all within the scope of the invention. The racemic mixtures can be separated into their individual, substantially optically pure isomers through well-known techniques such as, for example, the separation of diastereomeric salts formed with optically active adjuncts, e.g., acids or bases followed by conversion back to the optically active substances. The desired optical isomer can also be synthesized by means of stereospecific reactions, beginning with the appropriate stereoisomer of the desired starting material.
It is to be understood that for compounds disclosed herein when a bond is drawn in a non-stereochemical manner (e.g., flat) the atom to which the bond is attached includes all stereochemical possibilities. It is also to be understood that when a bond is drawn in a stereochemical manner (e.g., bold, bold-wedge, dashed or dashed-wedge) the atom to which the stereochemical bond is attached has the stereochemistry as shown unless otherwise noted. Accordingly, in one embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is greater than 50% a single enantiomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is at least 80% a single enantiomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is at least 90% a single enantiomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is at least 98% a single enantiomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is at least 99% a single enantiomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is greater than 50% a single diastereomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is at least 80% a single diastereomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is at least 90% a single diastereomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is at least 98% a single diastereomer. In another embodiment, a compound disclosed herein is at least 99% a single diastereomer.
Tautomers
The compounds disclosed herein can also exist as tautomeric isomers in certain cases. Although only one delocalized resonance structure may be depicted, all such forms are contemplated within the scope of the invention. For example, ene-amine tautomers can exist for purine, pyrimidine, imidazole, guanidine, amidine, and tetrazole systems and all their possible tautomeric forms are within the scope of the invention.
Isotopes
It is understood by one skilled in the art that this invention also includes any compound claimed that may be enriched at any or all atoms above naturally occurring isotopic ratios with one or more isotopes such as, but not limited to, deuterium (2H or D). As a non-limiting example, a —CH3 group may be replaced by —CD3.
Specific values listed below for radicals, substituents, and ranges are for illustration only; they do not exclude other defined values or other values within defined ranges for the radicals and substituents.
Protecting Groups
In certain embodiments, protecting groups include prodrug moieties and chemical protecting groups. Protecting groups may be represented by the abbreviation “PG.”
“Protecting group” (“PG”) refers to a moiety of a compound that masks or alters the properties of a functional group or the properties of the compound as a whole. Chemical protecting groups and strategies for protection/deprotection are well known in the art. See e.g. Peter G. M. Wuts and Theodora W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 4th edition; John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: New Jersey, 2007. See also Kocienski, P. J. Protecting Groups, 3rd edition; Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart: New York, 2005, in particular Chapter 1, Protecting Groups: An Overview, pages 1-48, Chapter 2, Carbonyl Protecting Groups, pages 49-118, Chapter 3, Diol Protecting Groups, pages 119-186, Chapter 4, Hydroxyl Protecting Groups, pages 187-364, Chapter 5, Thiol Protecting Groups, pages 365-392. Protecting groups are often utilized to mask the reactivity of certain functional groups, to assist in the efficiency of desired chemical reactions, e.g., making and breaking chemical bonds in an ordered and planned fashion.
Protection of functional groups of a compound alters other physical properties besides the reactivity of the protected functional group, such as the polarity, lipophilicity (hydrophobicity), and other properties which can be measured by common analytical tools. Chemically protected intermediates may themselves be biologically active or inactive.
In certain embodiments, protecting groups are optionally employed to prevent side reactions with the protected group during synthetic procedures. Selection of the appropriate groups to protect, when to do so, and the nature of the chemical protecting group “PG” is dependent upon the chemistry of the reaction to be protected against (e.g., acidic, basic, oxidative, reductive or other conditions) and the intended direction of the synthesis. PGs do not need to be, and generally are not, the same if the compound is substituted with multiple PG. In general, PG will be used to protect functional groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, thio, or amino groups and to thus prevent side reactions or to otherwise facilitate the synthetic efficiency. The order of deprotection to yield free deprotected groups is dependent upon the intended direction of the synthesis and the reaction conditions to be encountered, and may occur in any order as determined by the artisan.
Salts and Hydrates
Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds disclosed herein include salts derived from an appropriate base, such as an alkali metal (for example, sodium), an alkaline earth metal (for example, magnesium), ammonium and NX4+(wherein X is C1-C4 alkyl). Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a nitrogen atom or an amino group include for example salts of organic carboxylic acids such as acetic, benzoic, lactic, fumaric, tartaric, maleic, malonic, malic, isethionic, lactobionic and succinic acids; organic sulfonic acids, such as methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic and p-toluenesulfonic acids; and inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric and sulfamic acids. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound of a hydroxy group include the anion of said compound in combination with a suitable cation such as Na+ and NX4+ (wherein each X is independently selected from H or a C1-C4 alkyl group).
For therapeutic use, salts of active ingredients of the compounds disclosed herein will typically be pharmaceutically acceptable, i.e., they will be salts derived from a physiologically acceptable acid or base. However, salts of acids or bases which are not pharmaceutically acceptable may also find use, for example, in the preparation or purification of a compound of Formula I, II, III or IV, (such as any one of IVa-IVh) or a stereoisomer, or a mixture of stereoisomers, or another compound disclosed herein. All salts, whether or not derived from a physiologically acceptable acid or base, are within the scope of the present invention.
Metal salts typically are prepared by reacting the metal hydroxide with a compound disclosed herein. Examples of metal salts which are prepared in this way are salts containing Li+, Na+, and K+. A less soluble metal salt can be precipitated from the solution of a more soluble salt by addition of the suitable metal compound.
In addition, salts may be formed from acid addition of certain organic and inorganic acids, e.g., HCl, HBr, H2SO4, H3PO4 or organic sulfonic acids, to basic centers, such as amines. Finally, it is to be understood that the compositions herein comprise compounds disclosed herein in their un-ionized, as well as zwitterionic form, and combinations with stoichiometric amounts of water as in hydrates.

Pharmaceutical Formulations
“Pharmaceutically-acceptable” means suitable for use in pharmaceutical preparations, generally considered as safe for such use, officially approved by a regulatory agency of a national or state government for such use, or being listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia or other generally recognized pharmacopoeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans.
“Pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier” refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or carrier, or other ingredient which is pharmaceutically-acceptable and with which a compound of the invention is administered.
The compounds of this invention are formulated with conventional carriers (e.g., inactive ingredient or excipient material), which will be selected in accordance with ordinary practice. Tablets will contain excipients including glidants, fillers, binders and the like. Aqueous formulations are prepared in sterile form, and when intended for delivery by other than oral administration generally will be isotonic. All formulations will optionally contain excipients such as those set forth in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (1986). Excipients include ascorbic acid and other antioxidants, chelating agents such as EDTA, carbohydrates such as dextrin, hydroxyalkylcellulose, hydroxyalkylmethylcellulose, stearic acid and the like. One embodiment provides the formulation as a solid dosage form including a solid oral dosage form. The pH of the formulations ranges from about 3 to about 11, but is ordinarily about 7 to 10.
While it is possible for the active ingredients to be administered alone it may be preferable to present them as pharmaceutical formulations (compositions). The formulations, both for veterinary and for human use, of the invention comprise at least one active ingredient, as above defined, together with one or more acceptable carriers therefor and optionally other therapeutic ingredients. The carrier(s) must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and physiologically innocuous to the recipient thereof.
The formulations include those suitable for the foregoing administration routes. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Techniques and formulations generally are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.). Such methods include the step of bringing into association the active ingredient with inactive ingredients (e.g., a carrier, pharmaceutical excipient, etc.) which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.
In certain embodiments, formulations suitable for oral administration are presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient.
In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulations include one or more compounds of the invention together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients and optionally other therapeutic agents. Pharmaceutical formulations containing the active ingredient may be in any form suitable for the intended method of administration. When used for oral use for example, tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oil suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, syrups or elixirs may be prepared. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents including sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents, in order to provide a palatable preparation. Tablets containing the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipient which are suitable for manufacture of tablets are acceptable. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium or sodium carbonate, lactose, lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, calcium or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as maize starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, such as cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, gelatin or acacia; and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. Tablets may be uncoated or may be coated by known techniques including microencapsulation to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax may be employed.
The amount of active ingredient that is combined with the inactive ingredients to produce a dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. For example, in some embodiments, a dosage form for oral administration to humans contains approximately 1 to 1000 mg of active material formulated with an appropriate and convenient amount of carrier material (e.g., inactive ingredient or excipient material). In certain embodiments, the carrier material varies from about 5 to about 95% of the total compositions (weight: weight). In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain about 1 to 800 mg, 1 to 600 mg, 1 to 400 mg, 1 to 200 mg, 1 to 100 mg or 1 to 50 mg of the compound of Formula I, II, III or IV (such as any one of IVa-IVh), or a stereoisomer, or a mixture of stereoisomers, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain not more than about 400 mg of the compound of Formula I, II, III or IV (such as any one of IVa-IVh), or a stereoisomer, or a mixture of stereoisomers, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain about 100 mg of the compound of Formula I, II, III, or IV (such as any one of IVa-IVh), or a stereoisomer, or a mixture of stereoisomers, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above the formulations disclosed herein may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.
Veterinary compositions comprising at least one active ingredient as above defined together with a veterinary carrier are further provided.
Veterinary carriers are materials useful for the purpose of administering the composition and may be solid, liquid or gaseous materials which are otherwise inert or acceptable in the veterinary art and are compatible with the active ingredient. These veterinary compositions may be administered orally, parenterally or by any other desired route.
Effective dose of active ingredient depends at least on the nature of the condition being treated, toxicity, whether the compound is being used prophylactically (lower doses), the method of delivery, and the pharmaceutical formulation, and will be determined by the clinician using conventional dose escalation studies.
Routes of Administration
One or more compounds of Formulas I, II, III, or IV (such as any one of IVa-IVh) (herein referred to as the active ingredients), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are administered by any route appropriate to the condition to be treated. Suitable routes include oral, rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal and sublingual), vaginal and parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intradermal, intrathecal and epidural), and the like. It will be appreciated that the preferred route may vary with for example the condition of the recipient. An advantage of the compounds of this invention is that they are orally bioavailable and can be dosed orally. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein are oral dosage forms.

General Synthetic Procedures
The schemes, procedures, and examples provided herein describe the synthesis of compounds disclosed herein as well as intermediates used to prepare the compounds. It is to be understood that individual steps described herein may be combined. It is also to be understood that separate batches of a compound may be combined and then carried forth in the next synthetic step.
The following schemes describe methods that are useful for preparing compounds disclosed herein.
LF is a “linker fragment,” (that is to say, a precursor to L) wherein an attached unsaturated carbon-carbon bond (e.g. alkene or alkyne) at the portion of LF distal to




facilitates, as a non-limiting example, a metal catalyzed reaction that results in the connection of LF to U to form an L group. Non-limiting examples of metal catalyzed reactions that result in such a connection include Ru catalyzed ring closing metathesis or a Pd catalyzed cross coupling reaction (e.g. Negishi, Heck, or Sonagashira couplings).

1H Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were in all cases consistent with the proposed structures. Characteristic chemical shifts (δ) are given in parts-per-million downfield from tetramethylsilane using conventional abbreviations for designation of major peaks: e.g. s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet; br, broad. The following abbreviations have been used for common solvents used in nuclear magnetic resonance experiments: CDCl3, deuterochloroform; CD3OD, perdeuteromethanol; CD3CN, perdeuteroacetonitrile; d6-DMSO, perdeuterodimethylsulfoxide. Mass spectra were obtained using Thermo Scientific or Agilent Technologies mass spectrometers equipped with electrospray ionisation (ESI). Masses are reported as ratios of mass to charge (m/z) of, for example, an ion of the compound (represented by [M]+), an ion formed from the compound with another ion, such as a hydrogen ion (represented by [M+H]+), a sodium ion (represented by [M+Na]+), an ion formed from the compound by losing an ion, such as the deprotonated compound (represented by [M−H]−), etc. Analytical HPLC measurements were performed on Agilent Technologies Series 1100 HPLC using Phenomenex Kinetex C18, 2.6 um 100 Å, 4.6×100 mm column with an elution program of 2% Solvent B for 0.55 min, gradient to 98% solvent B over 8 min which is maintained at 98% solvent B for 0.40 min before returning to 2% solvent B over 0.02 min and maintaining at 2% solvent B for 2.03 min at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min (Solvent A=MiliQ filtered H2O+0.1% TFA, Solvent B=MeCN+0.1% TFA). The term “thin layer chromatography (TLC)” refers to silica gel chromatography using silica gel 60 F254 plates. The retention factor (“Rf”) of a compound is the distance travelled by a compound divided by the distance travelled by the solvent front on a TLC plate. Terms such as “early eluting” and “late eluting” refer to the order in which a compound elutes or is recovered from a solid stationary phase/liquid solvent mobile phase based chromatography method (e.g. normal phase silica gel chromatography or reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)).




Scheme 1 demonstrates a general route to S1-3, where J, R1, R, M, L, T, U, W and Q are as defined herein, Z2a is as defined in Formula IV or III, or is H or Z2a as defined in Formula I or II. In scheme 1, ester intermediate S1-1 is hydrolyzed with a base such as lithium hydroxide when R is C1-C3 alkyl (e.g., methyl), or with acid such as trifluoroacetic acid when R is tert-butyl. The product of the ester hydrolysis is then coupled to an intermediate S1-2 through a coupling reaction (e.g. using a peptide coupling agent such as HATU and a base such as DIPEA) to generate compounds of the general structure S1-3.




Scheme 2 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S2-6 where U, W, R1, J, and Q are as defied herein. In scheme 2, an appropriately substituted and protected proline species S2-2 undergoes an etherification reaction such as SNAr (e.g. treatment with Cs2CO3 and S2-1 where R2 is H and LG2 is halogen), SN2 (e.g. preconversion of S2-2 to a brosylate (R2 is Bs) followed by treatment with S2-1 where LG2 is —OH and base such as DABCO), Mitsunobu reaction (e.g. treatment of S2-2 with DIAD and triphenylphosphine followed by S2-1 where LG2 is —OH) or metal catalyzed cross coupling reaction (LG2 is halogen, R2 is H) to generate intermediate S2-3. Intermediate S2-3 is deprotected (e.g. 4 N HCl in dioxane when PG is Boc) to make intermediate S2-4. Amide bond formation via activation of the carboxylic acid of S2-5 using peptide coupling agents or other carboxylic acid activation methods prior to treatment of S2-4 provides intermediate S2-6.







Scheme 3 shows a general synthesis of intermediate S3-6 where LF-CH2—CH2 is L, and U, W, R1, J, Q, M, T, and L are as defied herein. In scheme 3, an intermediate S3-1 is coupled via amide bond formation reaction to an intermediate S3-2 to provide intermediate S3-3. Metal catalyzed cross-coupling (e.g. Suzuki reaction using potassium vinyltrifluoroborate, Et3N, Pd(dppf)Cl2) to give S3-4, followed by ring closing metathesis (e.g. Zhan 1B) to give S3-5, followed by reduction of the double bond (e.g. H2, 10% Pd/C) provides intermediate S3-6.




Scheme 4 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S4-5 where LF-CH2—CH2 is L, and U, W, R1, J, Q, Q and L are as defied herein. In scheme 4, intermediate S4-1 is protected with a protecting group such as Boc. S4-1 undergoes a transition metal catalyzed cross coupling (e.g. Sonogashira coupling) to an intermediate S4-2 to provide intermediate S4-3. The triple bond of intermediate S4-3 is reduced to a single bond by hydrogenation (e.g. H2, catalytic 10% Pd/C) to give intermediate S4-4. Deprotection of the Boc-amine followed by coupling under basic conditions (e.g. triethylamine) provides intermediate S4-5.







Scheme 5 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S5-9 where LF-CH2—CH2 is L, and U, W, R1, J, Q, T and L are as defied herein. In scheme 5 intermediate S5-1 undergoes a metal catalyzed cross coupling (such as Sonogashira reaction) with an intermediate S5-2 to provide intermediate S5-3. The triple bond of intermediate S5-3 is reduced to a single bond under appropriate conductions such as by hydrogenation (e.g. using H2 over catalytic 10% Pd/C) to give intermediate S5-4. Deprotection of the alcohol to provide S5-5, followed by activation (e.g. DSC under basic conditions, e.g. triethylamine) provides intermediate S5-6. Coupling of S5-6 and S5-7 under basic conditions provides S5-8. Deprotection of the proline nitrogen (e.g. HCl in dioxane when PG=Boc) followed by a macrolactamization (e.g. coupling agent such as HATU under basic conditions) provides intermediate S5-9.




Scheme 6 shows a general synthesis of the intermediates S6-6 and S6-7 where U, R1, J, Q, M, T and L are as defied herein. In scheme 6 intermediate S6-1, W is OPG, where PG is a protecting group. S6-1 is first deprotected to give intermediate S6-2. Alkylation of intermediate S6-2 with an appropriate electrophile such as S6-4 provides intermediate S6-6. Reaction of S6-2 with triflic anhydride provides S6-3, which then undergoes metal catalyzed cross coupling with an appropriate nucleophilic coupling partner such as S6-5 (e.g. Sonagashira or Suzuki reaction) to provide intermediate S6-7.







Scheme 7 shows a general synthesis of intermediate S7-13 where LF-CH2—CH2—CF2 is L, and W, R1, J, Q, M, and T are as defied herein. In S7-13, L is C1-C3 alkyl. In Scheme 7, intermediate S7-1 first undergoes lithium halogen exchange and then is treated with intermediate S7-2 to generate intermediate S7-3, which is then condensed with intermediate S7-4 to provide quinoxaline intermediate S7-5. Halogenation of S7-5 (e.g. POCl3) provides intermediate S7-6. Intermediate S7-6 is attached via an ether formation to intermediate S7-7 through an SNAr reaction (e.g. Cs2CO3) to generate intermediate S7-8. Deprotection of the N-PG of intermediate S7-8 provides S7-10. An amide bond coupling reaction of intermediate S7-9 and intermediate S7-10 (e.g. EDC and HOBT, or HATU, NMM, DIPEA) provides intermediate S7-11. Ring closing metathesis of S7-11 generates intermediate S7-12. Reduction of the double bond (e.g. hydrogenation over palladium on carbon) provides intermediate S7-13.




Scheme 8 shows a general syntheses of intermediate S8-5 wherein an appropriately protected 4-oxo proline S8-1 is reacted with Bredereck's reagent to generate enaminone S8-2. Addition of an organometallic species provides enone S8-3, which undergoes reduction to hydroxyl intermediate S8-4 in a stereoselective manner (e.g. Luche reduction or CBS reduction). Subsequent olefin reduction gives 3-substituted hydroxy proline intermediate S8-5.




Scheme 9 shows a general synthesis of intermediate S9-3 wherein a vinyl triflate S9-1 (prepared for example, by methods in Kamenecka, T. M., et al. Tetrahedron Letters, 2001, 8571) undergoes metal catalyzed cross coupling (e.g. Negishi coupling) to generate intermediate S9-2. Hydroboration and subsequent oxidation of intermediate S9-2 provides intermediate S9-3.




Scheme 10 shows a general synthesis of substituted sulfonamide intermediate S10-3. Tert-butyl cyclopropylsulfonylcarbamate S10-1 is deprotonated (e.g. n-BuLi) and reacted with an electrophile (e.g. alkyl halide) to give the protected substituted sulfonamide intermediate S10-2, which is then deprotected (e.g. 4 N HCl in dioxane) to provide intermediate S10-3.




Scheme 11 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S11-3 where E is as defined herein. In Scheme 11, a sulfonamide S11-1 is coupled to a protected amino acid S11-2 using a coupling agent such as CU and a base such as DBU.




Scheme 12 shows a general synthesis of intermediates S12-10 and S12-17, where LF is C1-C3 alkylene. In Scheme 12, both syntheses begin with the monoprotection of intermediate S12-1 to produce S12-2, followed by oxidation (e.g. Swern oxidation) to provide intermediate S12-3. Enantioselective alpha chlorination (e.g. organocatalyst S12-4 and NCS) provides chloroaldehyde S12-5. Reaction of S12-5 with a bis-zinciomethane derivative (e.g. Nysted's reagent) provides cyclopropane intermediate S12-6. Intermediate S12-6 is orthogonally protected to provide intermediate S12-7. Deprotection of —OPG of S12-7 provides intermediate S12-8, which is subsequently dehydrated (e.g. Grieco's reagent) to intermediate S12-9 and finally O-PG2 is removed to afford intermediate S12-10. Intermediate S12-6 is alternatively be activated (e.g. DSC and a base such as pyridine) to provide intermediate S12-11 which is coupled to intermediate S12-12 to provide carbamate intermediate S12-13. Intermediate S12-13 is deprotected to give intermediate S12-14, which is then oxidized (e.g. Swern oxidation) to provide aldehyde intermediate S12-15. Olefination (e.g. Wittig reaction) of intermediate S12-15 provides intermediate S12-16. Ester hydrolysis (e.g. LiOH when R is methyl, TFA when R=tert-butyl) affords intermediate S12-17.




Scheme 13 shows a general synthesis of intermediate S13-5 where Q and T are as defined herein and LF is C1-C3 alkylene. Activation of intermediate S13-1 (e.g. DSC) followed by carbamate formation between intermediate S13-2 and amino acid ester intermediate S13-3 under basic conditions gives ester intermediate S13-4. Ester hydrolysis (e.g. LiOH when R=methyl or TFA when R=tert-butyl) provides intermediate S13-5.




Scheme 14 shows a general synthesis of intermediate S14-7 where Q is as defined herein and LF is C1-C3 alkylene. Oxidation of intermediate S14-1 (e.g. Dess-Martin periodinane) produces ketone S14-2. Treatment of S14-2 with S14-3 (e.g. R2 is —CF3) in the presence of suitable reagent (such as CsF) provides intermediate S14-4. Deprotection of S14-4 (e.g. TBAF) provides S14-5, which is then added to an isocyanate S14-6 to give intermediate S14-7.




Scheme 15 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate (±)-S15-3, generated from the Kulinkovich reaction of a Grignard reagent S15-1 and an ester S15-2, according to standard procedures as described in Kulinkovich, O. G. and Kananovich, D. G., Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2007, 2007, 2121.




Scheme 16 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S16-4 where Q, M, and T are as defined herein and LF is C1-C3 alkylene. In Scheme 16, olefin S16-1 undergoes oxidative cleavage (e.g. OsO4, NalO4) to aldehyde S16-2, which is then reduced to alcohol S16-3 (e.g. NaBH4) and finally is dehydrated (e.g. Greico elimination) to afford intermediate S16-4.




Scheme 17 shows two general synthetic strategies for producing intermediate S17-3 where J is as defined herein. In Scheme 17, an appropriately protected 4-oxo proline S17-1 is deprotonated and alkylated (e.g. LiHMDS followed by J-LG). A second deprotonation with base followed by re-protonation at low temperature generates stereoenriched intermediate S17-2, based on a described protocol (Blanco, M-J. et. al. J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 8786). Reduction of the ketone in a stereoselective manner (e.g. CBS reduction) provides alcohol S17-3. Where J is methyl, Scheme 17 shows an alternative general synthesis wherein intermediate S17-4 is hydrogenated to generate a mixture of S17-5 and S17-6. Ketone reduction of S17-5 in a stereoselective manner (e.g. CBS reduction) provides intermediate S17-3, where J is methyl.




Scheme 18 shows a general synthesis of intermediates S18-4 and S18-5, wherein an appropriately protected 4-oxo proline S18-1 is hydroxylated in a stereoselective manner (e.g. MoOPh) to provide intermediate S18-2, which is subsequently reacted with an alkylating agent (e.g. trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate) to afford intermediate S18-3. Reduction of the ketone (e.g. BH3.SMe2 complex) provides intermediates S18-4 and S18-5.




Scheme 19 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S19-7 where Q is as defined herein and LF is C1-C3 alkylene. In Scheme 19, an epoxide intermediate S19-1 is converted to the (±)-trans-intermediate S19-3. Activation of the alcohol intermediate (±)-S19-3 (e.g. DSC) produces carbonate (±)-S19-4, which is treated with intermediate S19-5 to afford carbamate intermediate S19-6. Intermediate S19-6 then undergoes ester hydrolysis (e.g. LiOH when R=methyl or TFA when R=tert-butyl) to provide intermediate S19-7.




Scheme 20 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S20-3 where LF-O is F, and U, W, R1, J, Q, M, T and L are as defied herein. In scheme 20, intermediate S20-1 first undergoes oxidative cleavage of an olefin (e.g. OsO4, NalO4) and subsequent reduction of the resultant aldehyde (e.g. NaBH4) to provide intermediate S20-2. Transition metal catalyzed cross coupling provides intermediate S20-3.







Scheme 21 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S21-7 where Q and T are as defined herein. In Scheme 21, activation of mono-protected diol S21-1 (e.g. DSC) followed by coupling with amino ester intermediate S21-3 provides carbamate intermediate S21-4. Intermediate S21-4 is then deprotected to unmask the alcohol functionality (intermediate S21-5) which is then allylated to provide intermediate S21-6. Intermediate S21-6 then undergoes ester hydrolysis (e.g. LiOH when R=methyl or TFA when R=tert-butyl) to provide intermediate S21-7.




Scheme 22 shows a general synthesis of an intermediate S22-3 where U, W, R1, J, and Q are as defied herein. In scheme 22 intermediate S22-1 is globally deprotected to provide amino acid intermediate S22-2. The acid functionality of intermediate S22-2 is then converted to a base-labile carboxylic acid ester (e.g. methyl ester), intermediate S22-3.

Biological Activity

Expression and Purification of Genotype 1a, 2a, and 3 NS3 Proteases

Generation of NS3 Protease Expression Plasmids
The coding sequence of the genotype 1b (con-1 strain) HCV NS3 protease domain was PCR amplified from a plasmid encoding the 1389luc-ubi-neo/NS3-3′/ET replicon (Reblikon, Mainz, Germany). The 5′-PCR primer was designed to encode an N-terminal K3 hexahistidine tag and to insert an in-frame recombinant Tobacco Etch virus (rTEV) protease cleavage site into the NS3 coding sequence. The resulting DNA fragment was cloned into the pET28 protein expression vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) yielding the p28-N6H-Tev-NS3(181)1b.
The coding sequences for the genotype 3 HCV protease domain was amplified by RT-PCR using a Titan One Tube RT-PCR Kit (Roche, Indianapolis, Ind.) and RNA extracted from HCV-positive human serum (BBI Diagnostics, MA) using a QIAmp UltraSens Virus Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, Calif.). 5′ PCR primers were designed to encode N-terminal hexahistidine tags and to insert in-frame rTEV protease cleavage sites into the NS3 protease coding sequences. The resulting DNA fragments were cloned into pET28 yielding the expression vectors p28-N6H-Tev-NS3(181)1a and p28-N6H-Tev-NS3(181)3, respectively.
NS3 Protease Protein Expression
BL21Al bacteria (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) were transformed with genotype 1b or 3 NS3 expression vectors and used to inoculate a 20 L fermentation vessel (Sartorius BBI System Inc., Bethlehem, Pa.), containing 18 L of fresh 2YT medium supplemented with 50 μg/mL kanamycin. When cell densities reached an OD600 of 1, the temperature of the cultures was reduced from 37° C. to 28° C. and induction was immediately initiated by the addition of 30 μM ZnSO4, 14 mM L-arabinose and 1 mM Isopropyl β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) final concentrations. Cells were harvested by centrifugation four hours post-induction and were stored as frozen pellets at −80° C. prior to NS3 protein purification.
Purification of NS3 Proteases
Purification of Genotype 1b NS3 Protease
Cell pellets were thawed and resuspended at 10 mL/g cells in lysis buffer containing 50 mM tris pH 7.6, 300 mM NaCl, 0.1% 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), 5% glycerol, and 2 mM β-mercaptoethanol. Cell suspensions were then sonicated, filtered through cheesecloth, and passed three times through a microfluidizer at 18,000 pounds/in2. The resulting lysates were centrifuged at 15500 rpm for 45 minutes and supernatants were loaded onto a H isTrap HP column (GE Lifesciences) pre-equilibrated with five volumes of Ni buffer A (50 mM tris pH 7.6, 300 mM NaCl, 0.1% CHAPS, 5% glycerol, 2 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 50 mM imidazole-HCI). Proteins were eluted with a 0-100% gradient of Ni buffer A plus 500 mM imidazole-HCI and fractions were collected and pooled. The H isTrap pool was diluted 1:10 with SP-A buffer (50 mM tris pH 7.0, 10% glycerol, 2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT)) and loaded onto a HiTrap SP-HP column (GE Lifesciences) equilibrated with SP-A buffer. NS3 protease was eluted with a 0-100% SP-B buffer (SP-A buffer plus 1 M NaCl) gradient. Concentrated pools of NS3-containing SP fractions were aliquoted, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80° C.
Purification of Genotype 3 NS3 Protease
Bacterial pellets collected from the expression of genotype 3 HCV NS3 protease were homogenized in Lysis Buffer (25 mM tris, pH 7.5 buffer containing 150 mM NaCl and 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF)) and passed through a microfluidizer at 18,000 pounds/in2. Homogenized cell lysates were centrifuged at 30,000×g for 30 minutes at 4° C. The resulting P1 pellets were washed with Wash Buffer I (25 mM tris, pH 7.5 containing 1% CHAPS) followed by centrifugation at 10,000×g for 30 minutes at 4° C. The resulting P2 pellets were washed with Wash Buffer II (50 mM CAPS buffer, pH 10.8, containing 2 M NaCl and 2 M urea) followed by centrifugation at 30,000×g for minutes at 4° C. The resulting P3 pellets were resuspended in Solubilization Buffer (20 ml of 25 mM tris, pH 7.5 containing 150 mM NaCl and 8 M urea) and incubated at 4° C. for one hour. Solubilized proteins were passed through a 0.45 micron filter. Protein concentrations were measured and the solutions were adjusted to 40 mM DTT, incubated for 30 minutes at 4° C. and then quickly diluted into Refolding Buffer (25 mM tris, pH 8.5, 0.8 M Guanidine-HCI, 0.4 M L-Arginine, 10 mM ZnSO4) while stirring. Protein solutions were incubated at 4° C. overnight to allow refolding. Refolded proteases were centrifuged at 30,000×g for 10 minutes to remove residual precipitates. Final protein concentrations were then measured and the NS3 proteases were aliquoted, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80° C.
Ki Determination for Genotypes 1b and 3a NS3 Protease.
Purified NS3 protease domain (amino acids 1-181) of the genotype 1b and 3a virus were generated as above. The internally quenched fluorogenic depsipeptide substrate Ac-DED(Edans)-EEAbuψ[COO]ASK(Dabcyl)-NH2 and a synthetic peptide containing the hydrophobic core residues of the NS4A protein cofactor (KKGSWIVGRIILSGRKK; NS4A peptide) were obtained from Anaspec, Inc. (San Jose, Calif.). Other chemicals and biochemicals were of reagent grade or better and were purchased from standard suppliers.
Reactions were run at room temperature in buffer consisting of 50 mM HEPES, 40% glycerol, 0.05% Triton X-100, 10 mM DTT, and 10% DMSO. The final assay solutions contained 50 μM NS3 genotype 1b protease or 200 μM genotype 3a protease, 20 μM NS4A peptide, and 4 μM substrate (genotype 1b) or 2 μM substrate (genotype 3a). Inhibitor concentrations varied from 100 nM to 5 μM in 3-fold dilutions, and no-inhibitor controls were included.
Compound dilutions were made in DMSO at 20× final concentration. Reaction mixtures were prepared in 96-well assay plates. A solution of enzyme and NS4A peptide in assay buffer (25 μL volume with both reagents at 4× final concentration) was mixed with 45 μL assay buffer and 5 μL of either inhibitor or DMSO, and pre-incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was started by addition of 25 μL substrate solution at 4× final concentration. Plates were mixed vigorously for 5-10 seconds and reactions were allowed to proceed for 90 minutes. fluorescence was measured every 30 s between 90 and 120 minutes reaction time using a Tecan InfiniTe M1000 or PerkinElmer Envision multimode plate reader with an excitation wavelength of 340 nm and an emission wavelength of 490 nm.
Rates were calculated from the progress curves at steady state, in the time frame of 90-120 minutes after addition of substrate. To determine the K, rates were plotted as a function of inhibitor concentration, and the data were fit with equation 1 (Morrison, J. F., Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1969, 185, 269-286) to calculate Kiapp using GraphPad Prism 5. Active fraction of enzyme was determined by active site titration with known potent inhibitors. Ki was calculated from Kiapp/(1+[[S]/Km]). K results for representative compounds for genotype 1b and 3a (Ki 1B and Ki 3A, respectively) are reported in Table 1.

Evaluation of Cell-based Anti-HCV Activity:

Antiviral potency (EC50) was determined in both stable subgenomic HCV replicon cell lines and transient-transfected HCV replicon cells. The term half maximal effective concentration (EC50) refers to the concentration of a drug which induces a response halfway between the baseline and maximum after the exposure time specified below.
Stable subgenomic HCV replicons for genotype 1a, 1b, 2a, 3a, and 4a were established in Huh-7-derived cells as described by Lohmann et al (Lohmann V, Korner F, Koch J, et al Replication of subgenomic hepatitis C virus RNAs in a hepatoma cell line. Science 1999; 285:119-3). Each stable cell line contains a bicistronic HCV replicon that encodes a humanized Renilla luciferase (hRLuc) reporter gene fused to a selectable neomycin-resistance gene, followed by an EMCV IRES and the NS3-NS5B coding region of HCV. Selection for cells constitutively expressing the HCV replicon was achieved in the presence of the selection antibiotic, neomycin (G418). Luciferase activity was measured as a marker for intracellular HCV replication levels.
The genotype 1a stable replicon was derived from the H77 HCV strain and contained adaptive mutations P1496L and S2204I. The genotype 1b stable replicon was derived from the Cont HCV strain and contained adaptive mutations E1202G, T1280I, and K1846T. The genotype 2a stable replicon was derived from the JFH-1 HCV strain and did not require adaptive mutations. The genotype 3a stable replicon was derived from the S52 HCV strain and contained adaptive mutations P1121 L, A1198T and 52210I (equivalent to S22041 in genotype 1). The genotype 4a stable replicon was derived from the ED43 HCV strain and contained adaptive mutations Q1691R and S2204I. All replicon cell lines were propagated in Huh-7-derived cells and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 0.5 mg/mL G418.
Transient-transfected HCV replicons were established for genotype 1a, 1b, 3a and NS3/4a protease inhibitor resistant variants D168A in genotype 1b or R155K in genotype 1a. Transient-transfected replicons are also biscistronic subgenomic replicons but do not contain the neomycin selectable marker present in stable replicons. These replicons encode the poliovirus IRES followed by the hRLuc reporter gene, the EMCV IRES and finally the NS3-NS5B coding region of HCV. The genotype 1a (H77) and 1b (Con1) wild-type replicons were derived from the same strain and contained the same adaptive mutations as listed above. The genotype 3a transient replicon was derived from the S52 HCV strain as above, but contained slightly different adaptive mutations P1112L, K1615E and S2210I. Specifically, the secondary adaptive mutation A1198T (A166T) in the protease domain of the stable genotype 3a replicon was replaced with K1615E (K583E) in the NS3 helicase, with no effect on replication efficiency. Removal of A166T located in the protease domain minimizes the impact of this variant on inhibitors targeting the protease domain and represents a protease domain closer to wild type for genotype 3a. Resistant replicons encoding NS3/4 protease inhibitor mutations were introduced into the 1b or 1a wild-type NS3 gene by site directed mutagenesis. In vitro transcribed RNAs from all transient replicons were transfected into naive Huh-7-derived cell lines by electroporation. Luciferase activity was measured as a marker for intracellular HCV replication levels
To perform EC50 assays, cells from each HCV replicon were dispensed into 384-well plates. Compounds were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM and diluted in DMSO using an automated pipetting instrument. Three-fold serially diluted compounds were directly added to the cells using an automated instrument. DMSO was used as a negative (solvent; no inhibition) control, and a combination of three HCV inhibitors including a protease inhibitor; an NS5A inhibitor and a nucleoside inhibitor was used at concentrations >100×EC50 as a positive control (100% inhibition). Seventy-two hours later, cells were lysed and Renilla luciferase activity were quantified as recommended by the manufacturer (Promega-Madison, Wis.). Non-linear regression was performed to calculate EC50 values.
Results are shown in Tables 1 and 2:

The above formulations may be obtained by conventional procedures well known in the pharmaceutical art.
All references, including publications, patents, and patent documents are incorporated by reference herein, as though individually incorporated by reference. The invention has been described with reference to various specific and preferred embodiments and techniques. However, it should be understood that many variations and modifications may be made while remaining within the spirit and scope of the invention.
The use of the terms “a” and “an” and “the” and similar references in the context of this disclosure (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g., such as, preferred, preferably) provided herein, is intended merely to further illustrate the content of the disclosure and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the claims. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element as essential to the practice of the present disclosure.
Alternative embodiments of the claimed disclosure are described herein, including the best mode known to the inventors for practicing the claimed invention. Of these, variations of the disclosed embodiments will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the foregoing disclosure. The inventors expect skilled artisans to employ such variations as appropriate (e.g., altering or combining features or embodiments), and the inventors intend for the invention to be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.
Accordingly, this invention includes all modifications and equivalents of the subject matter recited in the claims appended hereto as permitted by applicable law. Moreover, any combination of the above described elements in all possible variations thereof is encompassed by the invention unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context.
The use of individual numerical values is stated as approximations as though the values were preceded by the word “about” or “approximately.” Similarly, the numerical values in the various ranges specified in this application, unless expressly indicated otherwise, are stated as approximations as though the minimum and maximum values within the stated ranges were both preceded by the word “about” or “approximately.” In this manner, variations above and below the stated ranges can be used to achieve substantially the same results as values within the ranges. As used herein, the terms “about” and “approximately” when referring to a numerical value shall have their plain and ordinary meanings to a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the disclosed subject matter is most closely related or the art relevant to the range or element at issue. The amount of broadening from the strict numerical boundary depends upon many factors. For example, some of the factors which may be considered include the criticality of the element and/or the effect a given amount of variation will have on the performance of the claimed subject matter, as well as other considerations known to those of skill in the art. As used herein, the use of differing amounts of significant digits for different numerical values is not meant to limit how the use of the words “about” or “approximately” will serve to broaden a particular numerical value or range. Thus, as a general matter, “about” or “approximately” broaden the numerical value. Also, the disclosure of ranges is intended as a continuous range including every value between the minimum and maximum values plus the broadening of the range afforded by the use of the term “about” or “approximately.” Thus, recitation of ranges of values herein are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein.
It is to be understood that any ranges, ratios and ranges of ratios that can be formed by, or derived from, any of the data disclosed herein represent further embodiments of the present disclosure and are included as part of the disclosure as though they were explicitly set forth. This includes ranges that can be formed that do or do not include a finite upper and/or lower boundary. Accordingly, a person of ordinary skill in the art most closely related to a particular range, ratio or range of ratios will appreciate that such values are unambiguously derivable from the data presented herein.
