Uses of the compounds and compositions disclosed herein include as anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-cancer therapeutic agents.


BACKGROUND

Nucleotide/nucleoside analogs are crucial components of our medicinal chemistry arsenal, with more than 30 approved molecules in the market and many more currently in development. They are currently employed to treat a wide array of pathologies, including viral and microbial infections, as well as to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. Moreover, it is known that minor changes in their chemical structure have profound effects on their activity against specific targets, as well as on potential undesired side-effects.


One example of a nucleotide analog with therapeutically relevant activity is ddhCTP, which includes a 3, 4-didehydro-ribose structure and acts as a chain terminator for certain viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, leading to inhibition of viral replication. Substituted nucleotide/nucleoside analog compounds are thought to mimic the overall structure of nucleotide/nucleosides and so may provide unique novel activities. Accordingly, substituted nucleotide and nucleoside analog compounds, for example, substituted ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compounds comprising the structure of Formula A




embedded image


may add unique therapeutic compounds to the medicinal chemistry arsenal.


These synthetic analog compounds may mimic the overall structure of nucleotide/nucleoside analogs and may include: (1) natural and non-naturally occurring bases attached to position C1′ of the 5-membered ring (to the ddh- or deoxy-ddh-ribose sugar analog) and/or (2) different substitutions on the 5-member ribose sugar (at positions C2′, C3′, and/or C5′); and may comprise unique novel activities. In some embodiments, the compounds include C- and N-linked nucleosides. Prodrugs of these substituted compounds may be synthesized and used in methods of treating a disease in a subject in need, wherein the prodrug may be converted into an active compound or metabolite thereof once in the cells as a result of spontaneous chemical reaction(s), enzyme catalyzed chemical reaction(s), photolysis, and/or metabolic chemical reaction(s).


There remains a need for targeted active compounds for treating diseases in a subject including viral and microbial infections, as well as to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. Thus, there is a need for creating novel structural modifications of existing compounds to generate new therapeutic variants with selective antiviral, antimicrobial, or anti-cancer activities, or a combination of activities thereof, and with optimal intracellular levels of the active triphosphate compounds for optimized therapeutic activities.


The present disclosure solves this need by providing novel synthetic ddh- and deoxy-ddh-compounds, for therapeutic use as antiviral, anti-tumoral, and/or antibacterial agents.

In some embodiments, an amount that, following administration, reduces, inhibits, prevents or delays the progression of a bacterial infection or disease associated with a bacterial infection is considered effective. In some embodiments, an amount that, following administration, reduces, inhibits, prevents or delays the progression of an immune disease or disorder is considered effective. In some embodiments, an amount that, following administration, reduces, inhibits, prevents or delays the progression of an autoimmune disease or disorder is considered effective. A skilled artisan would appreciate that the term “physiologically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient”, may in some embodiments be used interchangeably with the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” having all the same means and qualities.


A pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of a solid or liquid. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier(s) are particulate, so that the compositions are, for example, in tablet or powder form. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier(s) may be liquid, with the compositions being, for example, an oral oil, injectable liquid or an aerosol, which is useful in, for example, inhalatory administration. When intended for oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition is preferably in either solid or liquid form, where semi-solid, semi-liquid, suspension and gel forms are included within the forms considered herein as either solid or liquid.


As a solid composition for oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be formulated into a powder, granule, compressed tablet, pill, capsule, chewing gum, wafer or the like. Such a solid composition will typically contain one or more inert diluents or edible pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In addition, one or more of the following may be present: binders such as carboxymethylcellulose, ethyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; excipients such as starch, lactose or dextrins, disintegrating agents such as alginic acid, sodium alginate, Primogel, corn starch and the like; lubricants such as magnesium stearate or Sterotex; glidants such as colloidal silicon dioxide; sweetening agents such as sucrose or saccharin; a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate or orange flavoring; and a coloring agent. When the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of a capsule, for example, a gelatin capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as polyethylene glycol or oil.


The pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of a liquid, for example, an elixir, syrup, solution, emulsion or suspension. The liquid may be for oral administration or for delivery by injection, as two examples. When intended for oral administration, preferred composition contain, in addition to the present compounds, one or more of a sweetening agent, preservatives, dye/colorant and flavor enhancer. In a composition intended to be administered by injection, one or more of surfactants, preservative, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, buffer, stabilizer and isotonic agent may be included.


The liquid pharmaceutical compositions, whether they be solutions, suspensions or other like form, may include one or more of the following adjuvants: sterile diluents such as water for injection, saline solution, preferably physiological saline, Ringer's solution, isotonic sodium chloride, fixed oils such as synthetic mono or diglycerides which may serve as the solvent or suspending medium, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, propylene glycol or other solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl paraben; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic. Physiological saline is a preferred adjuvant. An injectable pharmaceutical composition is preferably sterile.


A liquid pharmaceutical composition intended for either parenteral or oral administration should contain an amount of a ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compound as herein disclosed, such that a suitable dosage will be obtained.


The pharmaceutical composition may be intended for topical administration, in which case the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may suitably comprise a solution, emulsion, ointment or gel base. The base, for example, may comprise one or more of the following: petrolatum, lanolin, polyethylene glycols, bee wax, mineral oil, diluents such as water and alcohol, and emulsifiers and stabilizers. Thickening agents may be present in a pharmaceutical composition for topical administration. If intended for transdermal administration, the composition may include a transdermal patch or iontophoresis device. The pharmaceutical composition may be intended for rectal administration, in the form, for example, of a suppository, which will melt in the rectum and release the drug. The composition for rectal administration may contain an oleaginous base as a suitable nonirritating excipient. Such bases include, without limitation, lanolin, cocoa butter and polyethylene glycol.


The pharmaceutical composition may include various materials, which modify the physical form of a solid or liquid dosage unit. For example, the composition may include materials that form a coating shell around the active ingredients. The materials that form the coating shell are typically inert, and may be selected from, for example, sugar, shellac, and other enteric coating agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient (a ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compound) may be encased in a gelatin capsule. The pharmaceutical composition in solid or liquid form may include an agent that binds to the ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compounds as disclosed herein, and thereby assists in the delivery of the compound. Suitable agents that may act in this capacity include monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, one or more proteins or a liposome. The pharmaceutical composition may consist essentially of dosage units that can be administered as an aerosol. The term aerosol is used to denote a variety of systems ranging from those of colloidal nature to systems consisting of pressurized packages. Delivery may be by a liquefied or compressed gas or by a suitable pump system that dispenses the active ingredients. Aerosols may be delivered in single phase, bi-phasic, or tri-phasic systems in order to deliver the active ingredient(s). Delivery of the aerosol includes the necessary container, activators, valves, subcontainers, and the like, which together may form a kit. One of ordinary skill in the art, without undue experimentation may determine preferred aerosols.


The pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared by methodology well known in the pharmaceutical art. For example, a pharmaceutical composition intended to be administered by injection can be prepared by combining a composition that comprises a ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compound as described herein, and optionally, one or more of salts, buffers and/or stabilizers, with sterile, distilled water so as to form a solution. A surfactant may be added to facilitate the formation of a homogeneous solution or suspension. Surfactants are compounds that non-covalently interact with the ddh- or deoxy-ddh-composition so as to facilitate dissolution or homogeneous suspension of ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compound in the aqueous delivery system.


The compositions may be administered in a therapeutically effective amount, which will vary depending upon a variety of factors including the activity of the ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compound employed; the metabolic stability and length of action of the ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compound; the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the patient; the mode and time of administration; the rate of excretion; the drug combination; the severity of the particular allergic or respiratory disorder or condition; and the subject undergoing therapy.


In some embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be liquid, semi-liquid or solid. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, subcutaneous or topical application may include, for example, a sterile diluent (such as water), saline solution, fixed oil, polyethylene glycol, glycerin, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvent; antimicrobial agents (such as benzyl alcohol and methyl parabens, phenols or cresols, mercurials, chlorobutanol, methyl and propyl p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters, thimerosal, benzalkonium chloride and benzethonium chloride); antioxidants (such as ascorbic acid and sodium bisulfite; methionine, sodium thiosulfate, platinum, catalase, citric acid, cysteine, thioglycerol, thioglycolic acid, thiosorbitol, butylated hydroxyanisol, butylated hydroxytoluene, and/or propyl gallate) and chelating agents (such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)); buffers (such as acetates, citrates and phosphates). If administered intravenously, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include physiological saline or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and solutions containing thickening and solubilizing agents, such as glucose, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol and mixtures thereof.


The compositions comprising a ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compound as described herein, pharmaceutical salts thereof, may be prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that protect the ddh- or deoxy-ddh-compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as time release formulations or coatings. Such pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include controlled release formulations, such as, but not limited to, implants and microencapsulated delivery systems, and biodegradable, biocompatible polymers, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, polyorthoesters, polylactic acid and others known to those of ordinary skill in the art.


In some embodiments, the terms “pharmaceutical composition” and “composition” may be used interchangeably herein, having all the same meanings and qualities.

As it is generally known in the art, in order to function as DNA or RNA chain terminators in vivo, a ddh- or deoxy ddh compound would have to be converted by one or more cellular kinases into their 5′-triphosphate form before they can compete with the natural substrates (dNTPs for DNA synthesis and NTPs for RNA synthesis) in the DNA or RNA polymerization reaction. Thus, the “active metabolite” for the purpose of DNA or RNA chain termination is the ddh- or deoxy ddh compound in a 5′-triphosphate form. In other words, the products synthesized, for example by chemical synthesis, comprise active metabolites as DNA or RNA chain terminators, and these products or active metabolites are in a 5′-triphosphate form. However, in order to administer these products or active metabolites to the cells and allow transport across cell membrane, these products or active metabolites need to be administered in a form without an attached triphosphate, or as provided herein in a prodrug form.

Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is well within the capability of those skilled in the art. For any preparation used in the methods disclosed herein, the therapeutically effective amount or dose can be estimated initially from in vitro assays. For example, a dose can be formulated in animal models and such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.


Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the ddh- or deoxy-ddh compound or a composition thereof, as described herein, can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in vitro, in cell cultures or experimental animals. The data obtained from these in vitro and cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in human. The dosage may vary depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. [See e.g., Fingl, et al., (1975) “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics”, Ch. 1 p. 1].


The amount of a composition to be administered will, of course, be dependent on e.g., the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration, the judgment of the prescribing physician, etc.


An effective amount can be administered to a subject in one or more doses. In terms of treatment, an effective amount is an amount that is sufficient to treat a disease in a subject, for example but not limited to a viral infection, a disease associated with a viral infection, or a cancer associated with a viral infection. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount that is sufficient to inhibit viral replication, wherein said virus comprises an RNA virus or a DNA virus, or a single stranded virus or a double stranded virus, and any combination thereof. The effective amount is generally determined by the physician on a case-by-case basis and is within the skill of one in the art. Several factors are typically taken into account when determining an appropriate dosage to achieve an effective amount. These factors include age, sex and weight of the subject, the condition being treated, the severity of the condition and the form and effective concentration of the ddh- or deoxy-ddh compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a composition thereof, being administered.

A skilled artisan would appreciate that the term “treatment” may encompass clinical intervention in an attempt to alter a disease course of the individual being treated, and can be performed either for prophylaxis or during the course of clinical pathology. Therapeutic effects of treatment include, without limitation, preventing occurrence or recurrence of disease, alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of any direct or indirect pathological consequences of the disease, preventing metastases, decreasing the rate of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission or improved prognosis. By preventing progression of a disease, a treatment can prevent worsening of a disease in an affected or diagnosed subject or a subject suspected of having the disease, for example a subject infected with a virus, but not yet demonstrating any symptoms. In some embodiments, administration for treatment may prevent the onset of a disease or a symptom of the disease in a subject at risk for the disease or suspected of having the disease, for example but not limited to a subject infected with a virus but showing no symptoms of disease.


A skilled artisan would appreciate that the term “subject” may encompass a vertebrate, in some embodiments, to a mammal, and in some embodiments, to a human.


A skilled artisan would appreciate that the term “effective amount” may encompass an amount sufficient to have a therapeutic effect. In some embodiments, an “effective amount” is an amount sufficient to treat a disease or a symptom thereof in a subject in need, reduce or inhibit the progression of a disease, ameliorate or alleviate suffering from the disease, reduce or inhibit the spread of the disease, or any combination thereof.


Throughout this application, various embodiments disclosed herein may be presented in a range format. It should be understood that the description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as an inflexible limitation on the scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all the possible sub ranges as well as individual numerical values within that range. For example, description of a range such as from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed sub ranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6 etc., as well as individual numbers within that range, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. This applies regardless of the breadth of the range.


Whenever a numerical range is indicated herein, it is meant to include any cited numeral (fractional or integral) within the indicated range. The phrases “ranging/ranges between” a first indicated number and a second indicated number and “ranging/ranges from” a first indicated number “to” a second indicated number are used herein interchangeably and are meant to include the first and second indicated numbers and all the fractional and integral numerals there between.
