BACKGROUND
[0002] Hepatitis C is recognized as a chronic viral disease of the
liver which is characterized by liver disease. Although drugs
targeting the liver are in wide use and have shown effectiveness,
toxicity and other side effects have limited their usefulness.
Inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are useful to limit the
establishment and progression of infection by HCV as well as in
diagnostic assays for HCV.
[0003] There is a need for new HCV therapeutic agents. In
particular, there is a need for HCV therapeutic agents that have
broad activity against HCV genotypes (e.g. genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a,
3a, 4a). There is also a particular need for agents that are less
susceptible to viral resistance. Resistance mutations to inhibitors
have been described for HCV NS5A for genotypes 1a and 1b in
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, September 2010, Volume 54,
p. 3641-3650.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] Reference will now be made in detail to certain embodiments
of the disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the
accompanying structures and formulas. While the disclosure will be
described in conjunction with the enumerated embodiments, it will
be understood that they are not intended to limit the disclosure to
those embodiments. On the contrary, the disclosure is intended to
cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, which may
be included within the scope of the present disclosure as defined
by the embodiments.
Compounds
[0030] The compounds of the disclosure exclude compounds heretofore
known. However, it is within the disclosure to use compounds that
previously were not known to have antiviral properties for
antiviral purposes (e.g. to produce an anti-viral effect in an
animal). With respect to the United States, the compounds or
compositions herein exclude compounds that are anticipated under 35
USC .sctn. 102 or that are obvious under 35 USC .sctn. 103.
[0031] Whenever a compound described herein is substituted with
more than one of the same designated group, e.g., "R.sup.1" or
"A.sup.3", then it will be understood that the groups may be the
same or different, i.e., each group is independently selected.
[0032] "Absent"--Some groups are defined such that they can be
absent. When a group is absent it becomes a bond connector. The two
groups that would otherwise be connected to that absent group are
connected to each other through a bond.
[0033] The "P" groups (e.g. P.sup.1a and P.sup.1b) defined for
formula (I) herein have one bond to a --C(.dbd.O)-- of formula (I)
and one bond to a W.sup.1a group. It is to be understood that a
nitrogen of the P group is connected to the --C(.dbd.O)-- group of
formula (I) and that a carbon of the P group is connected to the
W.sup.1a group.
##STR00006##
[0034] In the W.sup.1a group a Y.sup.5 group is present. When that
Y.sup.5 group is defined as --O--CH.sub.2--, or --CH.sub.2--O--
group, those Y.sup.5 groups have a directionality. The Y.sup.5
group is connected to the W.sup.1a group in the same left to right
directionality that each is drawn. So for example, when Y.sup.5 is
--O--CH.sub.2--, the directly following structure is intended:
##STR00007##
[0035] For example, when Y is --CH.sub.2--O--, the directly
following structure is intended:
##STR00008##
[0036] In the structure I, the W.sup.1a group has a left-to-right
directionality as depicted in I and W.sup.1a as drawn.
E.sup.1a-V.sup.1a--C(.dbd.O)--P.sup.1a--W.sup.1a--P.sup.1b--C(.dbd.O)--V-
.sup.1b-E.sup.1b (I)
wherein:
[0037] W.sup.1a is
##STR00009##
[0038] For example, the P.sup.1a group is connected to the
imidazole group of W.sup.1a, and the P.sup.1b group is connected to
the pentacyclic ring system of W.sup.1a.
[0039] "Alkyl" is C.sub.1-C.sub.18 hydrocarbon containing normal,
secondary, tertiary or cyclic carbon atoms. Examples are methyl
(Me, --CH.sub.3), ethyl (Et, --CH.sub.2CH.sub.3), 1-propyl (n-Pr,

heterocycles include 1-aziridyl, 1-azetedyl, 1-pyrrolyl,
1-imidazolyl, 1-pyrazolyl, and 1-piperidinyl.
[0061] "Carbocycle" refers to a saturated, unsaturated or aromatic
ring having up to about 25 carbon atoms. Typically, a carbocycle
has about 3 to 7 carbon atoms as a monocycle, about 7 to 12 carbon
atoms as a bicycle, and up to about 25 carbon atoms as a polycycle.
Monocyclic carbocyclcs typically have 3 to 6 ring atoms, still more
typically 5 or 6 ring atoms. Bicyclic carbocycles typically have 7
to 12 ring atoms, e.g., arranged as a bicyclo [4,5], [5,5], [5,6]
or [6,6] system, or 9 or 10 ring atoms arranged as a bicyclo [5,6]
or [6,6] system. The term carbocycle includes "cycloalkyl" which is
a saturated or unsaturated carbocycle. Examples of monocyclic
carbocycles include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl,
1-cyclopent-1-enyl, 1-cyclopent-2-enyl, 1-cyclopent-3-enyl,
cyclohexyl, 1-cyclohex-1-enyl, 1-cyclohex-2-enyl,
1-cyclohex-3-enyl, phenyl, spiryl and naphthyl.
[0062] The term "amino," as used herein, refers to --NH.sub.2.
[0063] 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.
[0064] 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.
[0065] "Diastereomer" refers to a stereoisomer with two or more
centers of chirality and whose molecules are not mirror images of
one another. Diastercomers have different physical properties,
e.g., melting points, boiling points, spectral properties, and
reactivities. Mixtures of diastereomers may separate under high
resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and
chromatography.
[0066] "Enantiomers" refer to two stereoisomers of a compound which
are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.
[0067] The term "treatment" or "treating," to the extent it relates
to a disease or condition includes preventing the disease or
condition from occurring, inhibiting the disease or condition,
eliminating the disease or condition, and/or relieving one or more
symptoms of the disease or condition.
[0068] 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. Many organic
compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the
ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing
an optically active compound, the prefixes (D and L) or (R and S)
are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about
its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and 1 or (+) and (-) are
employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light
by the compound, with (-) or 1 meaning that the compound is
levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory.
For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical
except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific
stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a
mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A
50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or
a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection
or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The terms
"racemic mixture" and "racemate" refer to an equimolar mixture of
two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity. The
disclosure includes all stereoisomers of the compounds described
herein.
Prodrugs
[0069] The term "prodrug" as used herein refers to any compound
that when administered to a biological system generates a compound
of the disclosure that inhibits HCV activity ("the active
inhibitory compound"). The compound may be formed from the prodrug
as a result of: (i) spontaneous chemical reaction(s), (ii) enzyme
catalyzed chemical reaction(s), (iii) photolysis, and/or (iv)
metabolic chemical reaction(s).
[0070] "Prodrug moiety" refers to a labile functional group which
separates from the active inhibitory compound during metabolism,
systemically, inside a cell, by hydrolysis, enzymatic cleavage, or
by some other process (Bundgaard, Hans, "Design and Application of
Prodrugs" in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development (1991), P.
Krogsgaard-Larsen and H. Bundgaard, Eds. Harwood Academic
Publishers, pp. 113-191). Enzymes which are capable of an enzymatic
activation mechanism with the prodrug compounds of the disclosure
include, but are not limited to, amidases, esterases, microbial
enzymes, phospholipases, cholinesterases, and phosphases. Prodrug
moieties can serve to enhance solubility, absorption and
lipophilicity to optimize drug delivery, bioavailability and
efficacy. A prodrug moiety may include an active metabolite or drug
itself.
[0071] Exemplary prodrug moieties include the hydrolytically
sensitive or labile acyloxymethyl esters
--CH.sub.2OC(.dbd.O)R.sup.99 and acyloxymethyl carbonates
--CH.sub.2OC(.dbd.O)OR.sup.99 where R.sup.99 is C.sub.1-C.sub.6
alkyl, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 substituted alkyl, C.sub.6-C.sub.20 aryl or
C.sub.6-C.sub.20 substituted aryl. The acyloxyalkyl ester was first
used as a prodrug strategy for carboxylic acids and then applied to
phosphates and phosphonates by Farquhar et al. (1983) J. Pharm.
Sci. 72: 324; also U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,816,570, 4,968,788, 5,663,159
and 5,792,756. Subsequently, the acyloxyalkyl ester was used to
deliver phosphonic acids across cell membranes and to enhance oral
bioavailability. A close variant of the acyloxyalkyl ester, the
alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl ester (carbonate), may also enhance oral
bioavailability as a prodrug moiety in the compounds of the
combinations of the disclosure. An exemplary acyloxymethyl ester is
pivaloyloxymethoxy, (POM) --CH.sub.2OC(.dbd.O)C(CH.sub.3).sub.3. An
exemplary acyloxymethyl carbonate prodrug moiety is
pivaloyloxymethylcarbonate (POC)
--CH.sub.2OC(.dbd.O)OC(CH.sub.3).sub.3.
[0072] Aryl esters of phosphorus groups, especially phenyl esters,
are reported to enhance oral bioavailability (De Lombaert et al.
(1994) J. Med. Chem. 37: 498). Phenyl esters containing a
carboxylic ester ortho to a phosphate have also been described
(Khamnei and Torrence, (1996) J. Med. Chem. 39:4109-4115). Benzyl
esters are reported to generate parent phosphonic acids. In some
cases, substituents at the ortho- or para-position may accelerate
the hydrolysis. Benzyl analogs with an acylated phenol or an
alkylated phenol may generate the phenolic compound through the
action of enzymes, e.g., esterases, oxidases, etc., which in turn
undergoes cleavage at the benzylic C--O bond to generate phosphoric
acid and a quinone methide intermediate. Examples of this class of
prodrugs are described by Mitchell et al. (1992) J. Chem. Soc.
Perkin Trans. II 2345; Glazier WO 91/19721. Still other benzylic
prodrugs have been described containing a carboxylic
ester-containing group attached to the benzylic methylene (Glazier
WO 91/19721). Thio-containing prodrugs are reported to be useful
for the intracellular delivery of phosphonate drugs. These
proesters contain an ethylthio group in which the thiol group is
either esterified with an acyl group or combined with another thiol
group to form a disulfide. Deesterification or reduction of the
disulfide generates the free thio intermediate which subsequently
breaks down to the phosphoric acid and episulfide (Puech et al.
(1993) Antiviral Res., 22: 155-174; Benzaria et al. (1996) J. Med.
Chem. 39: 4958).
Protecting Groups
[0073] In the context of the present disclosure, protecting groups
include prodrug moieties and chemical protecting groups.
[0074] "Protecting group" 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., Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Theodora W.
Greene, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1991. 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.
[0075] Protected compounds may also exhibit altered, and in some
cases, optimized properties in vitro and in vivo, such as passage
through cellular membranes and resistance to enzymatic degradation
or sequestration. In this role, protected compounds with intended
therapeutic effects may be referred to as prodrugs. Another
function of a protecting group is to convert the parental drug into
a prodrug, whereby the parental drug is released upon conversion of
the prodrug in vivo. Because active prodrugs may be absorbed more
effectively than the parental drug, prodrugs may possess greater
potency in vivo than the parental drug. Protecting groups are
removed either in vitro, in the instance of chemical intermediates,
or in vivo, in the case of prodrugs. With chemical intermediates,
it is not particularly important that the resulting products after
deprotection, e.g., alcohols, be physiologically acceptable,
although in general it is more desirable if the products are
pharmacologically innocuous.
[0076] Protecting groups are available, commonly known and used,
and are optionally used to prevent side reactions with the
protected group during synthetic procedures, i.e. routes or methods
to prepare the compounds of the disclosure. For the most part the
decision as to which groups to protect, when to do so, and the
nature of the chemical protecting group "PG" will be 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 PGs. 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.
[0077] Various functional groups of the compounds of the disclosure
may be protected. For example, protecting groups for --OH groups
(whether hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, phosphonic acid, or other
functions) include "ether- or ester-forming groups". Ether- or
ester-forming groups are capable of functioning as chemical
protecting groups in the synthetic schemes set forth herein.
However, some hydroxyl and thio protecting groups are neither
ether- nor ester-forming groups, as will be understood by those
skilled in the art, and are included with amides, discussed
below.
[0078] A very large number of hydroxyl protecting groups and
amide-forming groups and corresponding chemical cleavage reactions
are described in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Theodora
W. Greene (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1991, ISBN
0-471-62301-6) ("Greene"). See also Kocienski, Philip J.;
Protecting Groups (Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York, 1994),
which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. In
particular Chapter 1, Protecting Groups: An Overview, pages 1-20,
Chapter 2, Hydroxyl Protecting Groups, pages 21-94, Chapter 3, Diol
Protecting Groups, pages 95-117, Chapter 4, Carboxyl Protecting
Groups, pages 118-154, Chapter 5, Carbonyl Protecting Groups, pages
155-184. For protecting groups for carboxylic acid, phosphonic
acid, phosphonate, sulfonic acid and other protecting groups for
acids see Greene as set forth below.
[0079] By way of example and not limitation, variables described
herein may recursive substituents in certain embodiments.
Typically, each of these may independently occur 20, 19, 18, 17,
16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0, times
in a given embodiment. More typically, each of these may
independently occur 12 or fewer times in a given embodiment.
Whenever a compound described herein is substituted with more than
one of the same designated group, e.g., "R.sup.1" or "R.sup.3",
then it will be understood that the groups may be the same or
different, i.e., each group is independently selected. Wavy lines
indicate the site of covalent bond attachments to the adjoining
groups, moieties, or atoms.
[0080] In one embodiment of the disclosure, the compound is in an
isolated and purified form. Generally, the term "isolated and
purified" means that the compound is substantially free from
biological materials (e.g. blood, tissue, cells, etc.). In one
specific embodiment of the disclosure, the term means that the
compound or conjugate of the disclosure is at least about 50 wt. %
free from biological materials; in another specific embodiment, the
term means that the compound or conjugate of the disclosure is at
least about 75 wt. % free from biological materials; in another
specific embodiment, the term means that the compound or conjugate
of the disclosure is at least about 90 wt. % free from biological
materials; in another specific embodiment, the term means that the
compound or conjugate of the disclosure is at least about 98 wt. %
free from biological materials; and in another embodiment, the term
means that the compound or conjugate of the disclosure is at least
about 99 wt. % free from biological materials. In another specific
embodiment, the disclosure provides a compound or conjugate of the
disclosure that has been synthetically prepared (e.g., ex
vivo).
Stereoisomers
[0081] The compounds of the disclosure may have chiral centers,
e.g., chiral carbon or phosphorus atoms. The compounds of the
disclosure thus include racemic mixtures of all stereoisomers,
including enantiomers, diastereomers, and atropisomers. In
addition, the compounds of the disclosure 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 disclosure. The racemic mixtures are 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. In
most instances, the desired optical isomer is synthesized by means
of stereospecific reactions, beginning with the appropriate
stereoisomer of the desired starting material.
[0082] The compounds of the disclosure can also exist as tautomeric
isomers in certain cases. Although only one tautomer may be
depicted, all such forms are contemplated within the scope of the
disclosure. 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
disclosure.
Salts and Hydrates
[0083] Examples of physiologically or pharmaceutically acceptable
salts of the compounds of the disclosure include salts derived from
an appropriate base, such as an alkali metal (for example, sodium),
an alkaline earth metal (for example, magnesium), ammonium and
NX.sub.4.sup.+ (wherein X is C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl).
Physiologically acceptable salts of a hydrogen atom or an amino
group include 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,
sulfuric, phosphoric and sulfamic acids. Physiologically acceptable
salts of a compound of a hydroxy group include the anion of said
compound in combination with a suitable cation such as Na.sup.+ and
NX.sub.4.sup.+ (wherein X is independently selected from H or a
C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl group).
[0084] For therapeutic use, salts of active ingredients of the
compounds of the disclosure will typically be physiologically
acceptable, i.e. they will be salts derived from a physiologically
acceptable acid or base. However, salts of acids or bases which are
not physiologically acceptable may also find use, for example, in
the preparation or purification of a physiologically acceptable
compound. All salts, whether or not derived from a physiologically
acceptable acid or base, are within the scope of the present
disclosure.
[0085] Metal salts typically are prepared by reacting the metal
hydroxide with a compound of this disclosure. Examples of metal
salts which are prepared in this way are salts containing Li.sup.+,
Na.sup.+, and K.sup.+. A less soluble metal salt can be
precipitated from the solution of a more soluble salt by addition
of the suitable metal compound.
[0086] In addition, salts may be formed from acid addition of
certain organic and inorganic acids, e.g., HCl, HBr,
H.sub.2SO.sub.4, H.sub.3PO.sub.4 or organic sulfonic acids, to
basic centers, typically amines, or to acidic groups. Finally, it
is to be understood that the compositions herein comprise compounds
of the disclosure in their un-ionized, as well as zwitterionic
form, and combinations with stoichiometric amounts of water as in
hydrates.
[0087] Also included within the scope of this disclosure are the
salts of the parental compounds with one or more amino acids. Any
of the natural or unnatural amino acids are suitable, especially
the naturally-occurring amino acids found as protein components,
although the amino acid typically is one bearing a side chain with
a basic or acidic group, e.g., lysine, arginine or glutamic acid,
or a neutral group such as glycine, serine, threonine, alanine,
isoleucine, or leucine.
Methods of Inhibition of HCV
[0088] Another aspect of the disclosure relates to methods of
inhibiting the activity of HCV comprising the step of treating a
sample suspected of containing HCV with a compound or composition
of the disclosure.
[0089] Compounds of the disclosure may act as inhibitors of HCV, as
intermediates for such inhibitors or have other utilities as
described below. The inhibitors will generally bind to locations on
the surface or in a cavity of the liver. Compounds binding in the
liver may bind with varying degrees of reversibility. Those
compounds binding substantially irreversibly are ideal candidates
for use in this method of the disclosure. Once labeled, the
substantially irreversibly binding compounds are useful as probes
for the detection of HCV. Accordingly, the disclosure relates to
methods of detecting NS3 in a sample suspected of containing HCV
comprising the steps of: treating a sample suspected of containing
HCV with a composition comprising a compound of the disclosure
bound to a label; and observing the effect of the sample on the
activity of the label. Suitable labels are well known in the
diagnostics field and include stable free radicals, fluorophores,
radioisotopes, enzymes, chemiluminescent groups and chromogens. The
compounds herein are labeled in conventional fashion using
functional groups such as hydroxyl or amino. In one embodiment the
disclosure provides a compound of any one of formulae (I) and
(A1)-(A4) that comprises or that is bound or linked to one or more
detectable labels. Within the context of the disclosure samples
suspected of containing HCV include natural or man-made materials
such as living organisms; tissue or cell cultures; biological
samples such as biological material samples (blood, serum, urine,
cerebrospinal fluid, tears, sputum, saliva, tissue samples, and the
like); laboratory samples; food, water, or air samples; bioproduct
samples such as extracts of cells, particularly recombinant cells
synthesizing a desired glycoprotein; and the like. Typically the
sample will be suspected of containing HCV. Samples can be
contained in any medium including water and organic solvent/water
mixtures. Samples include living organisms such as humans, and man
made materials such as cell cultures.
[0090] The treating step of the disclosure comprises adding the
compound of the disclosure to the sample or it comprises adding a
precursor of the composition to the sample. The addition step
comprises any method of administration as described above.
[0091] If desired, the activity of HCV after application of the
compound can be observed by any method including direct and
indirect methods of detecting HCV activity. Quantitative,
qualitative, and semiquantitative methods of determining HCV
activity are all contemplated. Typically one of the screening
methods described above are applied, however, any other method such
as observation of the physiological properties of a living organism
are also applicable.
[0092] Many organisms contain HCV. The compounds of this disclosure
are useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of conditions associated
with HCV activation in animals or in man.
[0093] However, in screening compounds capable of inhibiting HCV
activity it should be kept in mind that the results of enzyme
assays may not always correlate with cell culture assays. Thus, a
cell based assay should typically be the primary screening
tool.
Pharmaceutical Formulations
[0094] The compounds of this disclosure are formulated with
conventional carriers and excipients, which will be selected in
accord with ordinary practice. Tablets will contain excipients,
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. The pH of the formulations ranges from about 3 to
about 11, but is ordinarily about 7 to 10. Typically, the compound
will be administered in a dose from 0.01 milligrams to 2 grams. In
one embodiment, the dose will be from about 10 milligrams to 450
milligrams. In another embodiment, the dosage will be from about 25
to about 250 milligrams. In another embodiment, the dosage will be
about 50 or 100 milligrams. In one embodiment, the dosage will be
about 100 milligrams. It is contemplated that the compound may be
administered once, twice or three times a day.
[0095] While it is possible for the active ingredients to be
administered alone it may be preferable to present them as
pharmaceutical formulations. The formulations, both for veterinary
and for human use, of the disclosure 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.
[0096] 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
the carrier 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.
[0097] Formulations of the present disclosure suitable for oral
administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules,
cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the
active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a
suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid; or as an
oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The
active ingredient may also be administered as a bolus, electuary or
paste.
[0098] A tablet is made by compression or molding, optionally with
one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be
prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient
in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally
mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, preservative,
surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by
molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered active
ingredient moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may
optionally be coated or scored and optionally are formulated so as
to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient
therefrom.
[0099] For administration to the eye or other external tissues
e.g., mouth and skin, the formulations are preferably applied as a
topical ointment or cream containing the active ingredient(s) in an
amount of, for example, 0.075 to 20% w/w (including active
ingredient(s) in a range between 0.1% and 20% in increments of 0.1%
w/w such as 0.6% w/w, 0.7% w/w, etc.), preferably 0.2 to 15% w/w
and most preferably 0.5 to 10% w/w. When formulated in an ointment,
the active ingredients may be employed with either a paraffinic or
a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active
ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream
base.
[0100] If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include,
for example, at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol, i.e. an
alcohol having two or more hydroxyl groups such as propylene
glycol, butane 1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol and
polyethylene glycol (including PEG 400) and mixtures thereof. The
topical formulations may desirably include a compound which
enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through
the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal
penetration enhancers include dimethyl sulphoxide and related
analogs.
[0101] The oily phase of the emulsions of this disclosure may be
constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the
phase may comprise merely an emulsifier (otherwise known as an
emulgent), it desirably comprises a mixture of at least one
emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil.
Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a
lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also
preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the
emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make up the so-called
emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up
the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oily
dispersed phase of the cream formulations.
[0102] Emulgents and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the
formulation of the disclosure include Tween.RTM. 60, Span.RTM. 80,
cetostearyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl
mono-stearate and sodium lauryl sulfate.
[0103] The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is
based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties. The cream
should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable
product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or
other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic
alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene
glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl
oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate
or a blend of branched chain esters known as Crodamol CAP may be
used, the last three being preferred esters. These may be used
alone or in combination depending on the properties required.
Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft
paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils are used.
[0104] Pharmaceutical formulations according to the present
disclosure comprise one or more compounds of the disclosure
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.
[0105] Formulations for oral use may be also presented as hard
gelatin capsules where the active ingredient is mixed with an inert
solid diluent, for example calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft
gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water
or an oil medium, such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive
oil.
[0106] Aqueous suspensions of the disclosure contain the active
materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture
of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients include a suspending agent,
such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose,
hydroxypropyl methylcelluose, sodium alginate,
polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia, and dispersing
or wetting agents such as a naturally occurring phosphatide (e.g.,
lecithin), a condensation product of an alkylene oxide with a fatty
acid (e.g., polyoxyethylene stearate), a condensation product of
ethylene oxide with a long chain aliphatic alcohol (e.g.,
heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol), a condensation product of ethylene
oxide with a partial ester derived from a fatty acid and a hexitol
anhydride (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate). The aqueous
suspension may also contain one or more preservatives such as ethyl
or n-propyl p-hydroxy-benzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or
more flavoring agents and one or more sweetening agents, such as
sucrose or saccharin.
[0107] Oil suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active
ingredient in a vegetable oil, such as arachis oil, olive oil,
sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid
paraffin. The oral suspensions may contain a thickening agent, such
as beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents, such
as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to
provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be
preserved by the addition of an antioxidant such as ascorbic
acid.
[0108] Dispersible powders and granules of the disclosure suitable
for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water
provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or
wetting agent, a suspending agent, and one or more preservatives.
Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are
exemplified by those disclosed above. Additional excipients, for
example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be
present.
[0109] The pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure may also
be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a
vegetable oil, such as olive oil or arachis oil, a mineral oil,
such as liquid paraffin, or a mixture of these. Suitable
emulsifying agents include naturally-occurring gums, such as gum
acacia and gum tragacanth, naturally occurring phosphatides, such
as soybean lecithin, esters or partial esters derived from fatty
acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as sorbitan monooleate, and
condensation products of these partial esters with ethylene oxide,
such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsion may also
contain sweetening and flavoring agents. Syrups and elixirs may be
formulated with sweetening agents, such as glycerol, sorbitol or
sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a
preservative, a flavoring or a coloring agent.
[0110] The pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure may be in
the form of a sterile injectable preparation, such as a sterile
injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension may be
formulated according to the known art using those suitable
dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been
mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a
sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic
parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, such as a solution in
1,3-butane-diol or prepared as a lyophilized powder. Among the
acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water,
Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In
addition, sterile fixed oils may conventionally be employed as a
solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil
may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In
addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid may likewise be used in
the preparation of injectables.
[0111] The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with
the carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary
depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of
administration. For example, a time-release formulation intended
for oral administration to humans may contain approximately 1 to
1000 mg of active material compounded with an appropriate and
convenient amount of carrier material which may vary from about 5
to about 95% of the total compositions (weight:weight). The
pharmaceutical composition can be prepared to provide easily
measurable amounts for administration. For example, an aqueous
solution intended for intravenous infusion may contain from about 3
to 500 .mu.g of the active ingredient per milliliter of solution in
order that infusion of a suitable volume at a rate of about 30
mL/hr can occur.
[0112] Formulations suitable for administration to the eye include
eye drops wherein the active ingredient is dissolved or suspended
in a suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the active
ingredient. The active ingredient is preferably present in such
formulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously 0.5
to 10% particularly about 1.5% w/w.
[0113] Formulations suitable for topical administration in the
mouth include lozenges comprising the active ingredient in a
flavored basis, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; pastilles
comprising the active ingredient in an inert basis such as gelatin
and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia; and mouthwashes comprising the
active ingredient in a suitable liquid carrier.
[0114] Formulations for rectal administration may be presented as a
suppository with a suitable base comprising for example cocoa
butter or a salicylate.
[0115] Formulations suitable for intrapulmonary or nasal
administration have a particle size for example in the range of 0.1
to 500 microns (including particle sizes in a range between 0.1 and
500 microns in increments such as 0.5 microns, 1 micron, 30
microns, 35 microns, etc.), which is administered by rapid
inhalation through the nasal passage or by inhalation through the
mouth so as to reach the alveolar sacs. Suitable formulations
include aqueous or oily solutions of the active ingredient.
Formulations suitable for aerosol or dry powder administration may
be prepared according to conventional methods and may be delivered
with other therapeutic agents such as compounds heretofore used in
the treatment or prophylaxis of conditions associated with HCV
activity.
[0116] Formulations suitable for vaginal administration may be
presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or
spray formulations containing in addition to the active ingredient
such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.
[0117] Formulations suitable for parenteral administration include
aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may
contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which
render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended
recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which
may include suspending agents and thickening agents.
[0118] The formulations are presented in unit-dose or multi-dose
containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be
stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the
addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for
injection, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection
solutions and suspensions are prepared from sterile powders,
granules and tablets of the kind previously described. Preferred
unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or unit
daily sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction
thereof, of the active ingredient.
[0119] It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients
particularly mentioned above the formulations of this disclosure
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.
[0120] The disclosure further provides veterinary compositions
comprising at least one active ingredient as above defined together
with a veterinary carrier therefor.
[0121] 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.
[0122] Compounds of the disclosure can also be formulated to
provide controlled release of the active ingredient to allow less
frequent dosing or to improve the pharmacokinetic or toxicity
profile of the active ingredient. Accordingly, the disclosure also
provides compositions comprising one or more compounds of the
disclosure formulated for sustained or controlled release.
[0123] 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
[0124] One or more compounds of the disclosure (herein referred to
as the active ingredients) 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 disclosure is that they are orally bioavailable
and can be dosed orally.

[0151] It is contemplated that the second therapeutic agent will be
administered in a manner that is known in the art and the dosage
may be selected by someone of skill in the art. For example, the
second agent may be administered in a dose from about 0.01
milligrams to about 2 grams per day.
Metabolites of the Compounds
[0152] Also falling within the scope of this disclosure are the in
vivo metabolic products of the compounds described herein. Such
products may result for example from the oxidation, reduction,
hydrolysis, amidation, esterification and the like of the
administered compound, primarily due to enzymatic processes.
Accordingly, the disclosure includes compounds produced by a
process comprising contacting a compound of this disclosure with a
mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product
thereof. Such products typically are identified by preparing a
radiolabelled (e.g., C.sup.14 or H.sup.3) compound of the
disclosure, administering it parenterally in a detectable dose
(e.g., greater than about 0.5 mg/kg) to an animal such as rat,
mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to man, allowing sufficient time for
metabolism to occur (typically about 30 seconds to 30 hours) and
isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood or other
biological samples. These products are easily isolated since they
are labeled (others are isolated by the use of antibodies capable
of binding epitopes surviving in the metabolite). The metabolite
structures are determined in conventional fashion, e.g., by MS or
NMR analysis. In general, analysis of metabolites is done in the
same way as conventional drug metabolism studies well-known to
those skilled in the art. The conversion products, so long as they
are not otherwise found in vivo, are useful in diagnostic assays
for therapeutic dosing of the compounds of the disclosure even if
they possess no HCV-inhibitory activity of their own.
[0153] Methods for determining stability of compounds in surrogate
gastrointestinal secretions are known.
Exemplary Methods of Making the Compounds
[0154] The disclosure also relates to methods of making the
compositions of the disclosure. The compositions are prepared by
any of the applicable techniques of organic synthesis. Many such
techniques are well known in the art. However, many of the known
techniques are elaborated in Compendium of Organic Synthetic
Methods (John Wiley & Sons, New York), Vol. 1, Ian T. Harrison
and Shuycn Harrison, 1971; Vol. 2, Ian T. Harrison and Shuyen
Harrison, 1974; Vol. 3, Louis S. Hegedus and Leroy Wade, 1977; Vol.
4, Leroy G. Wade, Jr., 1980; Vol. 5, Leroy G. Wade, Jr., 1984; and
Vol. 6, Michael B. Smith; as well as March, J., Advanced Organic
Chemistry, Third Edition, (John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1985),
Comprehensive Organic Synthesis. Selectivity, Strategy &
Efficiency in Modern Organic Chemistry. In 9 Volumes, Barry M.
Trost, Editor-in-Chief (Pergamon Press, New York, 1993 printing).
Other methods suitable for preparing compounds of the disclosure
are described in International Patent Application Publication
Number WO 2006/020276.
[0155] A number of exemplary methods for the preparation of the
compositions of the disclosure are provided in the schemes and
examples below. These methods are intended to illustrate the nature
of such preparations and are not intended to limit the scope of
applicable methods.
[0156] Generally, the reaction conditions such as temperature,
reaction time, solvents, work-up procedures, and the like, will be
those common in the art for the particular reaction to be
performed. The cited reference material, together with material
cited therein, contains detailed descriptions of such conditions.
Typically the temperatures will be -100.degree. C. to 200.degree.
C., solvents will be aprotic or protic, and reaction times will be
10 seconds to 10 days. Work-up typically consists of quenching any
unrcacted reagents followed by partition between a water/organic
layer system (extraction) and separating the layer containing the
product.
[0157] Oxidation and reduction reactions are typically carried out
at temperatures near room temperature (about 20.degree. C.),
although for metal hydride reductions frequently the temperature is
reduced to 0.degree. C. to -100.degree. C., solvents are typically
aprotic for reductions and may be either protic or aprotic for
oxidations. Reaction times are adjusted to achieve desired
conversions.
[0158] Condensation reactions are typically carried out at
temperatures near room temperature, although for non-equilibrating,
kinetically controlled condensations reduced temperatures
(0.degree. C. to -100.degree. C.) are also common. Solvents can be
either protic (common in equilibrating reactions) or aprotic
(common in kinetically controlled reactions).
[0159] Standard synthetic techniques such as azeotropic removal of
reaction by-products and use of anhydrous reaction conditions
(e.g., inert gas environments) are common in the art and will be
applied when applicable.
[0160] The terms "treated", "treating", "treatment", and the like,
when used in connection with a chemical synthetic operation, mean
contacting, mixing, reacting, allowing to react, bringing into
contact, and other terms common in the art for indicating that one
or more chemical entities is treated in such a manner as to convert
it to one or more other chemical entities. This means that
"treating compound one with compound two" is synonymous with
"allowing compound one to react with compound two", "contacting
compound one with compound two", "reacting compound one with
compound two", and other expressions common in the art of organic
synthesis for reasonably indicating that compound one was
"treated", "reacted", "allowed to react", etc., with compound two.
For example, treating indicates the reasonable and usual manner in
which organic chemicals are allowed to react. Normal concentrations
(0.01M to 10M, typically 0.1M to 1M), temperatures (-100.degree. C.
to 250.degree. C., typically -78.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., more
typically -78.degree. C. to 100.degree. C., still more typically
0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.), reaction vessels (typically glass,
plastic, metal), solvents, pressures, atmospheres (typically air
for oxygen and water insensitive reactions or nitrogen or argon for
oxygen or water sensitive), etc., are intended unless otherwise
indicated. The knowledge of similar reactions known in the art of
organic synthesis is used in selecting the conditions and apparatus
for "treating" in a given process. In particular, one of ordinary
skill in the art of organic synthesis selects conditions and
apparatus reasonably expected to successfully carry out the
chemical reactions of the described processes based on the
knowledge in the art.
[0161] Modifications of each of the exemplary schemes and in the
Examples (hereafter "exemplary schemes") leads to various analogs
of the specific exemplary materials produced. The above-cited
citations describing suitable methods of organic synthesis are
applicable to such modifications.
[0162] In each of the exemplary schemes it may be advantageous to
separate reaction products from one another and/or from starting
materials. The desired products of each step or series of steps is
separated and/or purified (hereinafter separated) to the desired
degree of homogeneity by the techniques common in the art.
Typically such separations involve multiphase extraction,
crystallization from a solvent or solvent mixture, distillation,
sublimation, or chromatography. Chromatography can involve any
number of methods including, for example: reverse-phase and normal
phase; size exclusion; ion exchange; high, medium, and low pressure
liquid chromatography methods and apparatus; small scale
analytical; simulated moving bed (SMB) and preparative thin or
thick layer chromatography, as well as techniques of small scale
thin layer and flash chromatography.
[0163] Another class of separation methods involves treatment of a
mixture with a reagent selected to bind to or render otherwise
separable a desired product, unreacted starting material, reaction
by product, or the like. Such reagents include adsorbents or
absorbents such as activated carbon, molecular sieves, ion exchange
media, or the like. Alternatively, the reagents can be acids in the
case of a basic material, bases in the case of an acidic material,
binding reagents such as antibodies, binding proteins, selective
chelators such as crown ethers, liquid/liquid ion extraction
reagents (LIX), or the like.
[0164] Selection of appropriate methods of separation depends on
the nature of the materials involved. For example, boiling point,
and molecular weight in distillation and sublimation, presence or
absence of polar functional groups in chromatography, stability of
materials in acidic and basic media in multiphase extraction, and
the like. One skilled in the art will apply techniques most likely
to achieve the desired separation.
[0165] A single stereoisomer, e.g., an enantiomer, substantially
free of its stereoisomer may be obtained by resolution of the
racemic mixture using a method such as formation of diastereomers
using optically active resolving agents (Stereochemistry of Carbon
Compounds, (1962) by E. L. Eliel, McGraw Hill; Lochmuller, C. H.,
(1975) J. Chromatogr., 113, 3) 283-302). Racemic mixtures of chiral
compounds of the disclosure can be separated and isolated by any
suitable method, including: (1) formation of ionic, diastereomeric
salts with chiral compounds and separation by fractional
crystallization or other methods, (2) formation of diastereomeric
compounds with chiral derivatizing reagents, separation of the
diastereomers, and conversion to the pure stereoisomers, and (3)
separation of the substantially pure or enriched stereoisomers
directly under chiral conditions.
[0166] Under method (1), diastereomeric salts can be formed by
reaction of enantiomerically pure chiral bases such as brucine,
quinine, ephedrine, strychnine,
.alpha.-methyl-.beta.-phenylethylamine (amphetamine), and the like
with asymmetric compounds bearing acidic functionality, such as
carboxylic acid and sulfonic acid. The diastereomeric salts may be
induced to separate by fractional crystallization or ionic
chromatography. For separation of the optical isomers of amino
compounds, addition of chiral carboxylic or sulfonic acids, such as
camphorsulfonic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, or lactic acid
can result in formation of the diastereomeric salts.
[0167] Alternatively, by method (2), the substrate to be resolved
is reacted with one enantiomer of a chiral compound to form a
diastereomeric pair (Eliel, E. and Wilen, S. (1994) Stereochemistry
of Organic Compounds, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., p. 322).
Diastereomeric compounds can be formed by reacting asymmetric
compounds with enantiomerically pure chiral derivatizing reagents,
such as menthyl derivatives, followed by separation of the
diastereomers and hydrolysis to yield the free, enantiomerically
enriched substrate. A method of determining optical purity involves
making chiral esters, such as a menthyl ester, e.g., (-) menthyl
chloroformate in the presence of base, or Mosher ester,
.alpha.-methoxy-.alpha.-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl acetate (Jacob III.
(1982) J. Org. Chem. 47:4165), of the racemic mixture, and
analyzing the NMR spectrum for the presence of the two
atropisomeric diastereomers. Stable diastereomers of atropisomeric
compounds can be separated and isolated by normal- and
reverse-phase chromatography following methods for separation of
atropisomeric naphthyl-isoquinolines (Hoye, T., WO 96/15111). By
method (3), a racemic mixture of two enantiomers can be separated
by chromatography using a chiral stationary phase (Chiral Liquid
Chromatography (1989) W. J. Lough, Ed. Chapman and Hall, New York;
Okamoto, (1990) J. of Chromatogr. 513:375-378). Enriched or
purified enantiomers can be distinguished by methods used to
distinguish other chiral molecules with asymmetric carbon atoms,
such as optical rotation and circular dichroism.
Schemes and Examples
[0168] General aspects of these exemplary methods are described
below and in the Examples. Each of the products of the following
processes is optionally separated, isolated, and/or purified prior
to its use in subsequent processes.
[0169] A number of exemplary methods for the preparation of
compounds of the disclosure are provided herein, for example, in
the Examples below. These methods are intended to illustrate the
nature of such preparations and are not intended to limit the scope
of applicable methods. Certain compounds of the disclosure can be
used as intermediates for the preparation of other compounds of the
disclosure. In the exemplary methods described herein, the fragment
E-V-- can also be written as R9-. PG represents a protecting group
common for the given functional group that it is attached. The
installation and removal of the protecting group can be
accomplished using standard techniques, such as those described in
Wuts, P. G. M., Greene, T. Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,
4th ed.; John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: Hoboken, N.J., 2007.
##STR00015##
[0170] Scheme 1 shows a general synthesis of an
E-V--C(.dbd.O)--P--W--P--C(.dbd.O)--V-E molecule of the disclosure
wherein, for illustrative purposes, E is methoxycarbonylamino. The
treatment of either 1a or 1c with one or two equivalents
respectively of methyl chloroformate under basic conditions (e.g.
sodium hydroxide) provides the molecule 1b or 1d.
##STR00016##
[0171] Scheme 2 shows a general synthesis of an
E-V--C(.dbd.O)--P--W--P--C(.dbd.O)--V-E molecule of the disclosure
wherein, for illustrative purposes, P is pyrrolidine. Coupling of
amine 2a with acid 2b is accomplished using a peptide coupling
reagent (e.g. HATU) to afford 2c. Alternatively, amine 2d is
coupled with two equivalents of 2b under similar conditions to
provide 2e.
##STR00017## ##STR00018##
[0172] Scheme 6 shows a general synthesis of an
R.sup.1--V--C(.dbd.O)--P--R.sup.2 intermediate wherein, for
illustrative purposes, P is pyrrolidine, R.sup.1 is a generic group
that is depicted as either -E or a amino protecting group, and
R.sup.2 is a generic group that is depicted as
--W--P--C(.dbd.O)--V-E, --W--P--C(.dbd.O)--V--NH-PG, --W--P--NH-PG,
or --W--NH-PG. Coupling of amine 6a (or 6d, 6h, 6k) with acid 6b or
6e is accomplished using a peptide coupling reagent (e.g. HATU) to
afford 6c (or 6f, 6g, 6i, 6j, 6l, 6m) respectively.
##STR00019##
[0173] Scheme 7 shows a general synthesis of an
E-V--C(.dbd.O)--R.sup.1 intermediate wherein, for illustrative
purposes, E is methoxycarbonylamino and R.sup.1 is a generic group
that is depicted as either --P--W--P--C(.dbd.O)--V--NH--PG,
--P--W--P--PG, --P--W--PG, --P--PG, or --O--PG. Treatment of 7a (or
7c, 7e, 7g, 7i) with methyl chloroformate under basic conditions
(e.g. sodium hydroxide) provides the molecule 7b (or 7d, 7f, 7h,
7j).
##STR00020##
[0174] Scheme 9 shows a general synthesis of an R.sup.1--P--R.sup.2
intermediate wherein, for illustrative purposes, R.sup.1 is
--C(.dbd.O)--V-E or a protecting group and R.sup.2 is a substituted
benzimidazole. The formation of the benzimidazole is accomplished
by coupling the acid 9b or 9e with an arylamine 9a, using a peptide
coupling reagent such as HATU, to afford 9c or 9f. Cyclization of
the amide in the presence of an acid (such as acetic acid) affords
the benzimidazole containing molecule 9d or 9g.
[0175] The formation of multiple benzimidazoles is performed in the
same manner, starting with a bis-diamine to provide the
corresponding bis-benzimidazole.
##STR00021##
[0176] Scheme 20 shows a general synthesis of an
R.sup.1--P--W--P--R.sup.2 intermediate of the disclosure wherein,
for illustrative purposes, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independent
protecting groups and W is a two aromatic ring unit constructed via
a transition metal mediated cyclization. Alkylation of phenol 20b
with an alkyl bromide, such as 20a, provides the ether 20c.
Cyclization of the aromatic rings in the presence of a palladium
catalyst provides the compound 20d. Treatment of 20d with
CuBr.sub.2 provides the .alpha.-haloketone 20e, which provides 20f
upon addition of an acid under basic conditions (e.g. Et.sub.3N).
Reaction of 20f with an amine or amine salt (e.g. ammonium acetate)
affords the imidazole containing molecule 20g. Oxidation of 20g,
20i, or 20l can be accomplished by heating in the presence of
MnO.sub.2 to provide 20h, 20j, or 20m, respectively. Conversion of
20g or 20h with a palladium catalyst, such as Pd.sub.2dba.sub.3 and
X-Phos, and a boron source such as bis(pinacolato)diboron provides
the boronic ester 20i or 20j. The boronic ester is coupled with an
appropriate coupling partner (e.g. 20k) using a palladium catalyst,
such as Pd(PPh.sub.3).sub.4 or PdCl.sub.2(dppf), to afford 20l or
20m. For each transition metal mediated cross-coupling reaction,
the roles of the nucleophile and electrophile can be reversed to
provide the same coupling product. Other transition metal mediated
cross couplings that enable the construction of W, but employ
alternative coupling partners and reagents, include, but are not
limited to, the Negishi, Kumada, Stille, and Ullman couplings. For
the preparation of alternate two aromatic ring containing W groups,
this general scheme can be applied through the appropriate choice
of the starting reagents.
##STR00022## ##STR00023##
[0177] Scheme 21 shows a general synthesis of an
R.sup.1--P--W--P--R.sup.2 intermediate of the disclosure wherein,
for illustrative purposes, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independent
protecting groups and W is a two aromatic ring unit constructed via
a transition metal mediated cyclization. Treatment of 20d with an
activated vinyl reagent (e.g. potassium vinyltrifluoroborate) in
the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g. palladium acetate and
S-Phos) provides the vinyl compound 21a. Conversion to the
corresponding .alpha.-halo ketone can be accomplished by
bromination with N-bromosuccinimide, followed by oxidation with
MnO.sub.2. Displacement of the .alpha.-halo ketone proceeds by the
addition of an acid under basic conditions (e.g. Et.sub.3N).
Bromination of 21c proceeds upon treatment with pyridinium
tribromide, and is followed by the addition of a second acid under
basic conditions to provide the diester 21e. Reaction of 21e with
an amine or amine salt (e.g. ammonium acetate) affords the
imidazole containing molecule 21f. Oxidation of 21f can be
accomplished in the presence of MnO.sub.2 to provide 21g.
##STR00024##
[0178] Scheme 22 shows a general synthesis of an
E-V--C(.dbd.O)--P--W--P--R intermediate of the disclosure wherein,
for illustrative purposes, R is a protecting group and W is a two
aromatic ring unit. Displacement of the .alpha.-halo ketone 21b
proceeds by the addition of an acid under basic conditions (e.g.
Et.sub.3N). Bromination of 22a proceeds upon treatment with
pyridinium tribromide, and is followed by the addition of a second
acid under basic conditions to provide the diester 22c. Reaction of
22c with an amine or amine salt (e.g. ammonium acetate) affords the
imidazole containing molecule 22d. Oxidation of 22d can be
accomplished in the presence of MnO.sub.2 to provide 22e.
##STR00025##
[0179] Scheme 23 shows a general synthesis of an
E-V--C(.dbd.O)--P--W--P--R intermediate of the disclosure wherein,
for illustrative purposes, R is a protecting group and W is a two
aromatic ring unit. Displacement of the .alpha.-halo ketone 21d
proceeds by the addition of an acid under basic conditions (e.g.
Et.sub.3N). Reaction of 23a with an amine or amine salt (e.g.
ammonium acetate) affords the imidazole containing molecule 23b.
Oxidation of 23b can be accomplished in the presence of MnO.sub.2
to provide 23c.
##STR00026##
[0180] Scheme 25 shows a general synthesis of an
E-V--C(.dbd.O)--P--W--P--C(.dbd.O)--V-E molecule of the disclosure
wherein, for illustrative purposes, E is ethylcarbonylamino. The
treatment of either 25a or 25c with one or two equivalents
respectively of propionyl chloride under basic conditions (e.g.
sodium hydroxide) provides the molecule 25b or 25d.
##STR00027##
[0181] Scheme 26 shows a general synthesis of an
E-V--C(.dbd.O)--P--R and an R.sup.1--P--R molecule of the
disclosure wherein, for illustrative purposes R is a haloimidazole.
Treatment of the aldehyde 26a with glyoxal, in the presence of
ammonium hydroxide provides the imidazole 26b. Treatment with
either N-bromosuccinamide or iodine provides the corresponding
haloimidazole 26c and 26d respectively. Separation from the
corresponding bis-halogenated compound can be accomplished by
preparative HPLC chromatography. The conversion of the
bis-haloimidazole to the mono-haloimidazole can also be
accomplished upon heating in the presence of sodium sulfite.
Further functionalization of the P group can be accomplished upon
removal of the protecting group and coupling with an appropriate
acid (E-V--C(.dbd.O)--OH).
##STR00028##
[0182] Scheme 27 shows an alternate general synthesis of an
R.sup.1--P--W--P--R.sup.2 intermediate of the invention wherein,
for illustrative purposes, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independent
protecting groups and W is a two aromatic ring unit constructed via
a transition metal mediated cyclization. Bromination of 21b with a
brominating agent (i.e. pyridinium tribromide) provides the
dibromide 27a. Displacement of the primary bromide then proceeds by
the addition of an acid under basic conditions (e.g.
K.sub.2CO.sub.3) to provide 21d. Conversion to 21f or 21g can be
accomplished following methods described in Scheme 21.
##STR00029##
[0183] Scheme 28 shows an alternate general synthesis of an
E-V--C(.dbd.O)--P--W--P--R intermediate of the invention wherein,

aromatic ring unit. Bromination of 21b with a brominating agent
(i.e. pyridinium tribromide) provides the dibromide 27a.
Displacement of the primary bromide then proceeds by the addition
of an acid under basic conditions (e.g. K.sub.2CO.sub.3) to provide
22d. Conversion to 22d or 22e can be accomplished following methods
described in Scheme 22.

BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS
[0567] Effect of Serum Proteins on Replicon Potency:
[0568] Replicon assays are conducted in normal cell culture medium
(DMEM+10% FBS) supplemented with physiologic concentrations of
human serum albumin (40 mg/mL) or .alpha.-acid glycoprotein (1
mg/mL). EC.sub.50s in the presence of human serum proteins are
compared to the EC.sub.50 in normal medium to determine the fold
shift in potency.
[0569] MT-4 Cell Cytotoxicity:
[0570] MT4 cells are treated with serial dilutions of compounds for
a five day period. Cell viability is measured at the end of the
treatment period using the Promega CellTiter-Glo assay and
non-linear regression is performed to calculate CC.sub.50.
[0571] Compound Concentration Associated with Cells at
EC.sub.50:
[0572] Huh-luc cultures are incubated with compound at
concentrations equal to EC.sub.50. At multiple time points (0-72
hours), cells are washed 2.times. with cold medium and extracted
with 85% acetonitrile; a sample of the media at each time-point
will also be extracted. Cell and media extracts are analyzed by
LC/MS/MS to determine the Molar concentration of compounds in each
fraction. Representative compounds of the disclosure have shown
activity.
[0573] Solubility and Stability:
[0574] Solubility is determined by taking an aliquot of 10 mM DMSO
stock solution and preparing the compound at a final concentration
of 100 .mu.M in the test media solutions (PBS, pH 7.4 and 0.1 N
HCl, pH 1.5) with a total DMSO concentration of 1%. The test media
solutions are incubated at room temperature with shaking for 1 hr.
The solutions will then be centrifuged and the recovered
supernatants are assayed on the HPLC/UV. Solubility will be
calculated by comparing the amount of compound detected in the
defined test solution compared to the amount detected in DMSO at
the same concentration. Stability of compounds after an 1 hour
incubation with PBS at 37.degree. C. will also be determined.
[0575] Stability in Cryopreserved Human, Dog, and Rat
Hepatocytes:
[0576] Each compound is incubated for up to 1 hour in hepatocyte
suspensions (100 .mu.l, 80,000.degree. Cells per well) at
37.degree. C. Cryopreserved hepatocytes are reconstituted in the
serum-free incubation medium. The suspension is transferred into
96-well plates (50 .mu.L/well). The compounds are diluted to 2
.mu.M in incubation medium and then are added to hepatocyte
suspensions to start the incubation. Samples are taken at 0, 10, 30
and 60 minutes after the start of incubation and reaction will be
quenched with a mixture consisting of 0.3% formic acid in 90%
acetonitrile/10% water. The concentration of the compound in each
sample is analyzed using LC/MS/MS. The disappearance half-life of
the compound in hepatocyte suspension is determined by fitting the
concentration-time data with a monophasic exponential equation. The
data will also be scaled up to represent intrinsic hepatic
clearance and/or total hepatic clearance.
[0577] Stability in Hepatic S9 Fraction from Human, Dog, and
Rat:
[0578] Each compound is incubated for up to 1 hour in S9 suspension
(500 .mu.l, 3 mg protein/mL) at 37.degree. C. (n=3). The compounds
are added to the S9 suspension to start the incubation. Samples are
taken at 0, 10, 30, and 60 minutes after the start of incubation.
The concentration of the compound in each sample is analyzed using
LC/MS/MS. The disappearance half-life of the compound in S9
suspension is determined by fitting the concentration-time data
with a monophasic exponential equation.
[0579] Caco-2 Permeability:
[0580] Compounds are assayed via a contract service (Absorption
Systems, Exton, Pa.). Compounds are provided to the contractor in a
blinded manner. Both forward (A-to-B) and reverse (B-to-A)
permeability will be measured. Caco-2 monolayers are grown to
confluence on collagen-coated, microporous, polycarbonate membranes
in 12-well Costar TRANSWELL.RTM. plates. The compounds are dosed on
the apical side for forward permeability (A-to-B), and are dosed on
the basolateral side for reverse permeability (B-to-A). The cells
are incubated at 37.degree. C. with 5% CO.sub.2 in a humidified
incubator. At the beginning of incubation and at 1 hr and 2 hr
after incubation, a 200-.mu.L aliquot is taken from the receiver
chamber and replaced with fresh assay buffer. The concentration of
the compound in each sample is determined with LC/MS/MS. The
apparent permeability, Papp, is calculated.
[0581] Plasma Protein Binding:
[0582] Plasma protein binding is measured by equilibrium dialysis.
Each compound is spiked into blank plasma at a final concentration
of 2 .mu.M. The spiked plasma and phosphate buffer is placed into
opposite sides of the assembled dialysis cells, which will then be
rotated slowly in a 37.degree. C. water bath. At the end of the
incubation, the concentration of the compound in plasma and
phosphate buffer is determined. The percent unbound is calculated
using the following equation:
% Unbound = 100 ( C f C b + C f ) ##EQU00001##
[0583] Where C.sub.f and C.sub.b are free and bound concentrations
determined as the post-dialysis buffer and plasma concentrations,
respectively.
[0584] CYP450 Profiling:
[0585] Each compound is incubated with each of 5 recombinant human
CYP450 enzymes, including CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP2D6 and
CYP2C19 in the presence and absence of NADPH. Serial samples will
be taken from the incubation mixture at the beginning of the
incubation and at 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after the start of
the incubation. The concentration of the compound in the incubation
mixture is determined by LC/MS/MS. The percentage of the compound
remaining after incubation at each time point is calculated by
comparing with the sampling at the start of incubation.
[0586] Stability in Rat, Dog, Monkey and Human Plasma:
[0587] Compounds will be incubated for up to 2 hours in plasma
(rat, dog, monkey, or human) at 37.degree. C. Compounds are added
to the plasma at final concentrations of 1 and 10 .mu.g/mL.
Aliquots are taken at 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes after
adding the compound. Concentration of compounds and major
metabolites at each time point are measured by LC/MS/MS.
[0588] Evaluation of Cell-Based Anti-HCV Activity:
[0589] Antiviral potency (EC.sub.50) was determined using a Renilla
luciferase (RLuc)-based HCV replicon reporter assay. To perform the
assay for genotype 1 and 2a JFH-1, stable HCV 1a RLuc replicon
cells (harboring a dicistronic genotype 1a H77 replicon that
encodes a RLuc reporter), stable HCV 1b RLuc replicon cells
(harboring a dicistronic genotype 1b Con1 replicon that encodes a
RLuc reporter), or stable HCV 2a JFH-1 Rluc replicon cells
(harboring a dicistronic genotype 2a JFH-1 replicon that encodes a
RLuc reporter; with L31 present in NS5A) were dispensed into
384-well plates for EC.sub.50 assays. To perform the assay for
genotype 2a (with M31 present in NS5A) or 2b, NS5A chimeric
genotype 2a JFH-1 replicons that encodes a RLuc-Neo reporter and
either genotype 2a J6 strain NS5A gene or genotype 2b MD2b-1 strain
NS5A gene (both with M31 present) respectively, were either
transiently transfected (t) into Huh-Lunet cells or were
established as stably replicating replicon cells(s) is provided.
Either cells were dispensed into 384-well plates for EC.sub.50
assays. To perform the assay for genotype 3 and 4, NS5A chimeric
genotype 1b Con1 replicons that encodes a Pi-RLuc reporter and
either genotype 3a S52 strain NS5A gene or genotype 4a ED43 strain
NS5A gene respectively, were transiently transfected (t) into
Huh-Lunet cells, which were subsequently dispensed into 384-well
plates. Compounds were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 10
mM and diluted in DMSO either manually or using an automated
pipetting instrument. Serially 3-fold diluted compounds were either
manually mixed with cell culture media and added to the seeded
cells or directly added to the cells using an automated instrument.
DMSO was used as a negative (solvent; no inhibition) control, and
the protease inhibitor ITMN-191 was included at a concentration
>100.times.EC.sub.50 as a positive control. 72 hours later,
cells were lysed and Renilla luciferase activity quantified as
recommended by the manufacturer (Promega-Madison, Wis.). Non-linear
regression was performed to calculate EC.sub.50 values.
[0590] To determine the antiviral potency (EC.sub.50) against
resistance mutants, resistance mutations, including M28T, Q30R,
Q30H, L31M, and Y93C in genotype 1a NS5A and Y93H in genotype 1b
NS5A, were introduced individually into either 1a Pi-Rluc or 1b
Pi-Rluc replicons by site directed mutagenesis. Replicon RNA of
each resistant mutant was transiently transfected into
Huh-7-derived cured-51 cells and antiviral potency was determined
on these transfected cells as described above.
[0591] The EC.sub.50 ranges for genotype 1a, 1a Q30R, and 2a JFH
are as follows: A.gtoreq.44 nM, B=1 nM to 43.99 nM, C<1 nM. The
EC.sub.50 ranges for genotype 2a J6, 2b, 3a, and 4a are as follows:
A.gtoreq.5 nM, B=1 nM to 4.99 nM, C<1 nM. The EC.sub.50 ranges
for genotype 2a J6, 2b, and 4a correspond to the assay of
transiently transfected cells (t). If this data is unavailable, the
EC.sub.50 range for the stably replicating cells(s) is
provided.
[0592] IV and PO Single Dose Pharmacokinetic Studies in SD
Rats:
[0593] The pharmacokinetics of selected compounds was characterized
in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (250-300 g). In this study, two
groups of naive purebred SD rats (N=3 per group, fasted over night)
received the selected compound either as an intravenous (IV)
infusion (1 mg/kg over 30 minutes) via the jugular vein or by oral
gavage (2 mg/kg). The intravenous (IV) dosing vehicle was 5%
ethanol, 35% polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and 60% water pH
2.0. The oral dosing vehicle was 5% ethanol, 55% PEG 400 and 40%
citrate buffer pH 2.2.
[0594] Serial blood samples (approximately 0.3 mL each) were
collected from jugular vein or other suitable vein at specified
time points. For the IV infusion group, the blood samples were
collected predose and at 0.25, 0.48, 0.58, 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, 8, 12
and 24 hours after the start of infusion. For the oral group, the
blood samples were collected predose and at 0.25, 0.50, 1, 2, 4, 6,
8, 12 and 24 hours after dosing. The blood samples were collected
into Vacutainer.TM. tubes containing EDTA-K.sub.3 as the
anti-coagulant and were centrifuged at approximately 4.degree. C.
to obtain plasma. The plasma samples were stored at -20.degree. C.
until analysis by LC/MS/MS.
[0595] A bioanalytical method utilizing high performance liquid
chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) was
developed for analysis of the selected compound in rat plasma.
Detection was performed using selected reaction monitoring (SRM);
Ions representing the precursor (M+H).sup.+ species was selected in
quadrupole 1 (Q1) and collided with argon gas in the collision cell
(Q2) to generate specific product ion, which was subsequently
monitored by quadrupole 3 (Q3). Standard curve and quality control
samples were prepared in male rat plasma and processed in the same
way as the test samples to generate quantitative data.
[0596] Pharmacokinetic parameters were generated using
non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis (Phoenix WinNonlin,
version 6.3). Values below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ)
were assigned a value of zero if predose and treated as missing
thereafter. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using the
linear trapezoidal rule. The oral bioavailability (% F) was
determined by comparison of the area under the curve (AUC) of the
compound and/or a metabolite generated in plasma following oral
administration to that generated following intravenous
administration.
