Anti-viral compounds

The present invention relates to new nucleotide analogues.
Particularly, it is concerned with the use of 2-phosphonate-nucleotide analogues in the treatment of viral infections.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is recognized as an important pathogen in patients with AIDS. The virus often contributes to the immunosuppression observed in such patients and may cause disseminated disease involving the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, or eyes. CMV retinitis is recognized as an important cause of blindness in patients with AIDS. Also, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is a major cause of death in AIDS patients. Currently, there are only two approved drugs, ganciclovir and foscarnet, for its treatment. Ganciclovir has exhibited bone marrow suppression as a serious side effect and resistant strains have also been isolated. Foscarnet presents side effects that are associated with its administration such as reversible renal dysfunction, thrombophlebitis at the infusion site, headaches and anemia. Also, foscarnet is not orally bioavailable, limiting its utility in clinical treatment. It is poorly soluble, and large doses are required because of its relatively low potency. Therefore, the development of a potent and non-toxic anti-CMV agents is highly desired.
All human herpesviruses have a worldwide distribution and are amongst the most difficult human pathogens to control. Currently, considerable efforts are being directed towards the development of vaccines and antiviral agents that will be active against herpesviruses, particularly Herpes Simplex viruses HSV-1 and HSV-2. A number of nucleoside and nucleotide derivatives are active against primary and recurrent HSV infection; of these, acyclovir is the most used drug. However, among patients with AIDS, acyclovir-resistant HSV-2 may lead to chronic progressive infections. There is therefore a need for development of a potent and non-toxic agent against HSV-1 and HSV-2.
Since their discovery in 1986, the acyclic phosphonate nucleotide analogs have generated considerable attention as broad spectrum antiviral agents. The guanine analogues HPMPG and PMEG, the adenine analogues HPMPA, and the cytosine analogue HPMPC have been shown to exhibit good anti-HCMV activity and HSV activity. PMEA has also demonstrated in vitro activity against retroviruses such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as well as DNA viruses such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), and in vivo activity against murine cytomegalovirus (CMV). ##STR2##
Unfortunately, in general these compounds present problems in cytotoxicity, particularly, PMEG is very cytotoxic.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
We have designed a novel class of 2-phosphonate-nucleotide analogues having the general formula (I), salts or esters thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives. Members of this series of analogues possess anti-viral activity. ##STR3## wherein n is 0 or an integer; X is O or S, CH.sub.2, CH-halogen, CH--N.sub.3, or C.dbd.CH.sub.2 ;
Q and U are independently selected from: O, S, and CH(R.sub.a) wherein R.sub.a is hydrogen, OH, halogen, N.sub.3, NH.sub.2, SH, carboxyl, C.sub.1-6 alkyl or R.sub.a is CH.sub.2 (R.sub.b) wherein R.sub.b is hydrogen, OH, SH, NH.sub.2, C.sub.1-6 alkyl or carboxyl; or both Q and U are CH when Q and U are linked by a double bond;
Z is selected from: O, a C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, a C.sub.1-6 thioalkyl, a C.sub.1-6 aminoalkyl, (CH.sub.2).sub.m wherein m is 0 or an integer, and N(R.sub.c).sub.2 wherein both R.sub.c are independently hydrogen or a C.sub.1-6 alkyl,; and
R2 is a purine or pyrimidine base or an analogue or derivative thereof.
Also included within the scope of the invention are compounds of formula (I) when X, Q, or U is S, further oxidized to form SO or SO.sub.2.
It will be appreciated by those of skill in the art that the compounds of formula (I) may contain several chiral centres and thus, amongst other forms, exist in the form of pairs of optical isomers (i.e. enantiomers) and mixtures thereof including racemic mixtures. Thus the compounds of formula (I) may be either cis isomers, as represented by formula (IA), or trans isomers, as represented by formula (IB), or mixtures thereof. Each of the cis and trans isomers can exist as one of two enantiomers or as mixtures thereof including racemic mixtures. All such isomers and mixtures thereof including racemic mixtures are included within the scope of the invention. ##STR4##
By purine or pyrimidine base or an analogue thereof is meant a purine or pyrimidine base found in nucleotide or an analogue thereof which mimics such bases in that their structures (the kinds of atoms and their arrangement) are similar to the normal bases but may possess additional or lack certain of the functional properties of the normal bases. Such analogues include imidazopyrimidines, isoimidazopyrimidines, or those derived by replacement of a CH moiety by a nitrogen atom (for example, 5-azapyrimidines such as 5-azacytosine) or vice versa (for example 7-deazapurines, such as 7-deazadenosine or 7-deazaguanosine) or both (e.g. 7-deaza, 8-azapurines). By derivatives of such bases or analogues are meant those compounds wherein ring substituents are either incorporated, removed or modified by conventional substituents known in the art e.g. halogen, hydroxyl, amino, C.sub.1-6 alkyl. Such purine or pyrimidine base, analogues and derivatives will be well known to those skilled in the art.

In a further or alternative aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for the treatment of a viral infection comprising the step of administering an antivirally effective dose of a compound of formula (I) as defined hereinabove or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof.
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, references herein to treatment extends to prophylaxis as well as to the treatment of established infections of symptoms.
By the term "pharmaceutically acceptable derivative" is meant any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, or salt of such ester of a compound of formula (I), or any other compound which, upon administration to the recipient, is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound of formula (I) or an antivirally active metabolite or residue thereof.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the compounds of formula (I) may be modified to provide pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof, at functional groups in the base moiety, at the phosphonate group or at the 3- or 4- hydroxy groups of the sugar ring. Modifications at all such functional groups are included within the scope of the invention. However, of particular interest are pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives (e.g. esters) obtained by modifications of the 2-alkyl phosphonate group, or of the 3-, or 4-hydroxy group of the sugar ring.
Preferred esters of the compounds of formula (I) include the compounds in which either one or both of the --OH groups of the phosphonate function is replaced by --OR.sub.Z, wherein R.sub.Z is selected from a straight or branched chain alkyl (e.g. methyl, isopropyl), alkoxyalkyl (e.g. methoxymethyl), aralkyl (e.g. benzyl), aryloxyalkyl (e.g. phenoxymethyl), aryl, acyloxyalkyl (e.g. pivaloyloxymethyl) , aryloyloxyalkyl, aracyl, C.sub.1-10 acyl, and phosphate to provide a diphosphate or a triphosphate nucleotide analogue. Alternatively, the --OH function may be replaced by a substituted or unsubstituted amino group. Examples of substituted amino groups are amino acids.
The --OH function of the phosphonate group may also be replaced by a carboxyl function (CH.sub.2).sub.n --C(O)R.sub.y, wherein n is 0 to 6 and in which R.sub.y is selected from a hydroxy, alkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy, or substituted or unsubstituted amino.
Also included as esters of compounds of formula (I) are nucleotides dimers linked by a phosphonate or phosphate linkage: ##STR7## wherein R.sub.x is a nucleotide analogue of formula (I) or any other known cyclic or acyclic nucleosides or nucleotides, and i is 1, 2 or 3. Preferably, other known nucleosides or nucleotides may be chosen from: AZT, ddT, ddI, D4T, HPMPC, HPMPG, HPMPA, PMEA, PMEG, acyclovir, or 3TC. Most preferably, R.sub.x is a nucleotide analogue of formula (I).
Other preferred esters of the compounds of formula (I) include the compounds in which either one or both of the 3-, or 4-hydroxy group of the sugar ring �when Q or U is CHOH or CH--CH.sub.2 OH! is replaced by a phosphoramidite or by --OR.sub.Z wherein R.sub.Z is as defined above, or R.sub.z is a nucleotide analogue derived from R.sub.x wherein R.sub.x is as defined above.
With regard to the above described esters, unless otherwise specified, any alkyl moiety present advantageously contains 1 to 16 carbon atoms, particularly 1 to 4 carbon atoms and could contain one or more double bonds. In particular the esters may be C.sub.1-6 alkyl esters, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, saturated or unsaturated C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, nitro or trifluoromethyl groups.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I) include those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of suitable acids include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, nitric, perchloric, fumaric, maleic, phosphoric, glycollic, lactic, salicylic, succinic, p-toluenesulphonic, tartaric, acetic, citric, methanesulphonic, formic, benzoic, malonic, naphtalene-2-sulphonic and benzenesulphonic acids. Other acids such as oxalic, while not in themselves pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful in the preparation of salts useful as intermediates in obtaining the compounds of the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts.
Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal (e.g. sodium), alkaline earth metal (e.g. magnesium), ammonium and N(R').sub.4.sup.+ (where R' is C.sub.1-4 alkyl) salts.
Generally, the compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by coupling a 2-dialkylphosphonate derivative of formula (II): ##STR8## wherein n, m and X, are defined above, Q' and U' are independently O, S, or CH--W' wherein W' is a hydroxy protecting group (such as acyloxy, aracyloxy, or silyloxy) or a displaceable group (such as mesyloxy, tosyloxy, or halogen) or an ester that may be modified to a displaceable group;
W is a displaceable group (such as tosylate or halogen) or a hydroxy group; and
R.sub.v is a hydroxy protecting group such as C.sub.1-6 alkyl or an aryl;
with R2' which is a purine or pyrimidine base or analog or derivative thereof, modified or not, to yield a compound of formula (I): ##STR9## wherein Z is as defined above.
This reaction may be carried out directly when W is a displaceable group, or under Mitsunobu reaction conditions when W is hydroxy.
The ester of (I) may then, optionally, be converted to yield a phosphonate of formula (I).
By modified purine or pyrimidine base or analog or derivative thereof is meant a base that is previously hydroxylated or aminated to a position so that it will be linked to the sugar via an alkoxy or aminoalkyl group respectively. However, when Z is thioalkyl, it is the 5 position of the sugar that is thiolated prior to coupling of the base.
The intermediate of formula (II) may be produced by different processes depending on the different substituents of the sugar ring. For example, (II) will be made by different routes when n is 0 or when n>0. Similarly, a third route will be employed when Q and U are independently CH.sub.2, CHOH, CH-halo, or CH--N.sub.3, CH--CH.sub.2 (R.sub.b), or are both CH.dbd.CH. A fourth route is presented when U is O, or S.
The processes illustrated in the present application are not intended to be limiting but are intended to be representative of how a person skilled in the art of nucleotide chemistry may produce such compounds. It will be obvious for people skilled in the art to design similar processes for producing all compounds encompassed by the invention, without undue experimentation, by reading the schemes below.
The compounds of formula (I) where X is O or S, Q is O, S, U is CH.sub.2 and n is 0 (i.e. where the phosphinoyl residue is linked directly to the sugar) may be prepared by the process outlined in Scheme 1. This scheme relates to examples 1 to 55, and 129 and 130 of the present application. ##STR10## wherein Y is O or S; OR.sub.w is a leaving group wherein R.sub.w is a C.sub.1-6 alkyl (preferably, methyl, ethyl, or isopropyl);
R.sub.v is a hydroxy protecting group such as a C.sub.1-6 alkyl or an aryl (preferably methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, or benzyl);
Z and R2 is as defined above;
R2' is R2 or a hydroxylated or an aminated R2 (preferably at position N9 for the purine and N1 or N3 for the pyrimidines);
m is 0 or an integer (preferably 1 to 6);
W' is a hydroxy protecting group (such as silyloxy, acyloxy or aracyloxy), a displaceable group (such as mesyloxy, tosyloxy, halogen), or an ester group that may be modified to a displaceable group; and
W is a displaceable group (such as tosylate or halogen), or a hydroxy group (when the Mitsunobu reaction is carried out).
The steps illustrated in Scheme 1 can be briefly described as follows:
a) a linear alkane derivative (V) substituted at 1 and 2 positions by alcohol or mercapto groups and substituted at position 3 by a displaceable group was condensed with trialkylorthoformate (VI) in the presence of an acid catalyst (preferably p-toluenesulfonic acid) and refluxed in organic solvent (preferably benzene or toluene) to yield 2-alkoxy-sugar of formula (III) as a mixture of cis and trans isomers;
b) The 2-alkoxy functionality of the compound of formula (III) was converted to a 2-dialkylphosphonate derivative (IIa) with a phosphonate-containing agent such as trialkylphosphite and phosphorus trichloride in the presence of zinc chloride as a catalyst under Arbuzov conditions (A. E. Arbuzov, Pure Applied Chem., 9, 307-335 (1964));
At this stage, the compound of formula (IIa) was optionally separated to its cis and trans isomers before further steps were carried out;
c) After the funtion W' had been modified to a displaceable group W (if necessary), the compound (IIa) was condensed with a purine or pyrimidine base, modified or not, derivative or analogue thereof (R2'), by displacing W or by Mitsunobu reaction, to yield (Ia), which is an ester of compounds of formula (I);
At this stage, R2 can be converted to another R2 if necessary.
d) Once made, esters (Ia) were converted to the corresponding phosphonate derivatives of formula (Ib) by any method well known in the art such as hydrolysis using TMSI or TMSBr (C. E. McKenna, J. Schmidhauser, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun., 1979, 739).
Moreover, if Y is S, it may be oxidized to SO or SO.sub.2 by any method well known in the art.
As shown in Scheme 1, the length of the alkyl chain between the HY- function and the group W' can be elongated (m=2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. . . .). In this case, the starting compound is chosen from linear 1,2,4-substituted butane-, linear 1,2,5-substituted pentane-, linear 1,2,6-substituted hexane-, etc.. such that the linker is also linear. In addition, there is also the possibility of having R2 linked directly to the sugar ring, in which case, the linker is (CH.sub.2).sub.m where m is 0. For example, in this case, the starting compound (V) is: ##STR11##
In the case of compounds of formula (I) when Z is oxygen, the intermediate of formula (II) where m is 0, is condensed with a base previously hydroxylated at position N1 or N3 for the pyrimidines or N9 for the purines. Such hydroxylation is effected by any method known or published in the art (S. Bailey, M. R. Harnden, R. L. Jarnest, A. Parkin and M. R. Boyd, J. Med. Chem., 1991, 34, 57-65). Alternatively, when Z is alkoxy, the intermediate (II) where m>0, is condensed with a hydroxylated base.
Similarly, when Z is N(R.sub.c).sub.2, compound (II) where m is 0 is condensed with a previously aminated base at the same positions respectively, whereas when Z is aminoalkyl, compound (II) where m>0, is condensed with a aminated base.
The process of scheme 1 is illustrated using specific reagents and compounds, for example, in Scheme 1a. ##STR12##
a) 3-bromo-1,2-propanediol (Va) was condensed with trimethylorthoformate (VIa) in presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst and reflux in benzene to yield 2-methoxy-1,3-dioxolane sugar of formula (IIIa);
b) The 2-methoxy function of (IIIa) was converted to a 2-diisopropyl phosphonate derivative under Arbuzov conditions by treatment with triisopropyl phosphite and phosphorus trichloride in the presence of zinc chloride as a catalyst to give a 2-diisopropylphosphinoyl-1,3-dioxolane of formula (IIb);
c) The compound (IIb) was condensed with a purine or pyrimidine base, derivative or analogue thereof, to yield cis- and/or trans-4-(purin- or pyrimidinyl)-2-(diisopropylphosphinoyl)-1,3-dioxolane of formula (Ic) or with a hydroxylated purine or pyrimidine to give (Id).
The esters of formula (Ic) or (Id) can be converted to phosphonates by any means known in the art.
Scheme 2 outlines an alternative process for producing compounds of formula (I) where X is O or S, Q is O or S, U is CH.sub.2 and the linker chain between the phosphonate group and the sugar ring is elongated to (CH.sub.2).sub.n, where n is an integer (preferably 1 to 4). Scheme 2 relates to examples 83 to 99 of the present application. ##STR13## wherein Y is O or S; OR.sub.w is a leaving group wherein R.sub.w is a C.sub.1-6 alkyl (preferably, methyl, ethyl, or isopropyl);
R.sub.v is a hydroxy protecting group such as a C.sub.1-6 alkyl or an aryl (preferably methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, or benzyl);
Z and R2 is as defined above;
R2' is R2 or a hydroxylated or aminated R2;
n is 0 or an integer (preferably 1 to 4);
W' is a hydroxy protecting group (such as silyloxy, acyloxy or aracyloxy), a displaceable group (such as mesyloxy, tosyloxy, or halogen), or an ester group that may be modified to a displaceable group; and
W is a displaceable group (such as tosylate or halogen), or hydroxy (when the Mitsunobu reaction is carried out).
The steps illustrated in Scheme 2 can be briefly described as follows:
a) dialkylphosphonate alkylaldehyde (VIII) or its dialkylacetal derivative (VII) (n>0) were condensed with an alkane derivative (V) substituted at positions 1 and 2 by a hydroxy or a thiol function and substituted at position 3 by a displaceable group (W') in the presence of an acid catalyst under reflux in an organic solvent (preferably benzene or toluene) to yield 2-dialkylphosphinoylalkyl- sugar of formula (IIc) as a mixture of cis and trans isomers;
At this stage, the compound of formula (IIc) may be optionally separated in its cis and trans isomers before further steps were carried out;
b) after the function (W') had been modified to a displaceable group (W) (if necessary), the compound (IIc) was condensed with a purine or pyrimidine base, modified or not, derivative or analogue thereof (R2'), by displacement of W or the Mitsunobu reaction, to yield compound (Ie) which is an ester of compounds of formula (I) where n>0;
At this stage, R2 can be converted to another R2 if necessary.
c) Once made, these esters (Ie) were converted to the phoshonate derivatives of formula (If) by any means well known in the art such as hydrolysis using TMSI or TMSBr.
Moreover, if Y is S, it may be oxidized to SO or SO.sub.2 by any method known in the art.
The process of scheme 2 is illustrated using specific reagents and compounds, for example, in Scheme 2a. ##STR14##
a) Diethylphosphonoacetaldehyde diethylacetal (VIIa) was condensed with 3-bromo-1,2-propanediol (Va) in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst and reflux in toluene to yield 2-diethylphosphinoylmethyl-1,3-dioxolane of formula (IId) as a mixture of cis and trans isomers;
b) The compound (IId) was condensed with a purine or pyrimidine base, derivative or analogues thereof, modified or not, to give cis- and/or trans-4-(purin- or pyrimidinyl)-2-(diethylphosphinoylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolane of formula (Ig) or with a hydroxylated purine or pyrimidine to give (Ih).
Scheme 3 outlines an alternative process for producing compounds of formula (I) where Q and U are independently CH.sub.2, CHOH, CH-halogen, CH--N.sub.3, CH--CH.sub.2 (R.sub.b), or both Q and U are CH linked by a double bond. Scheme 3 relates to examples 56 to 82 and 100 to 128 of the present application. ##STR15## wherein W' is as defined above; W" has the same definition as W' but may be the same or different;
R.sub.15 ' and R.sub.16 ' are independently H or W', or both form a double bond;
R.sub.15 and R.sub.16 are independently H, OH, halogen, azido, SH, NH.sub.2, carboxyl, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, or CH--CH.sub.2 (R.sub.b) wherein R.sub.b is H, OH, SH, NH.sub.2, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, or carboxyl, or both R.sub.15 and R.sub.16 form a double bond; and
X, R2', R2, R.sub.v and Z are as defined above.
The steps illustrated in Scheme 3 can be briefly described as follows:
a) Both hydroxy groups of compound (IX) were sequentially converted to form compound (IVa) where W' and W" are similar or different functional groups;
b) The W' functionality of compound (IVa) was then converted to a 2-dialkylphosphonate derivative (IIe) under Arbuzov conditions by treatment with trialkyl phosphite with or without the presence of a Lewis acid (such as TiCl.sub.4) as a catalyst. Alternatively, when W' is a displaceable group, the coupling reaction may be carried out under Michaelis-Becker conditions using O.dbd.P(OR.sub.v).sub.2.sup.- M.sup..sym. wherein M is a metal (such as Li, Na, or K);
At this stage, the compound of formula (IIc) may be optionally separated to its cis and trans isomers before further steps were carried out;
c) After the function W' had been modified to a displaceable group W (if necessary), the compound (IIe) is condensed with a purine or pyrimidine base, modified or not, derivative or analogue thereof (R2'), to yield (Ii) which is an ester of the compound of formula (I).
At this stage, R2 can be converted to another R2 if necessary. Also, if R.sub.15 ' and R.sub.16 ' are W', they may be independently deprotected to R.sub.15 and R.sub.16.
d) Once made, esters (Ii) are converted to the corresponding phosphonate derivative of formula (Ij) as described in Schemes 1 and 2.
Scheme 4 outlines an alternative process for producing compounds of formula (I) where Q is CH.sub.2 and U is O or S. Scheme 4 relates to example 131 of the present application. ##STR16## wherein Y is O or S, W' and W" are as defined above;

The steps illustrated in Scheme 4 can be briefly described as follows:
a) The W' functionality of compound (IVb) was converted to a 2-dialkylphosphonate derivative (IIf) under Arbuzov conditions by treatment with trialkyl phosphite in the presence or absence of a Lewis acid (such as TiCl.sub.4) as a catalyst. Alternatively, when W' is a displaceable group, the coupling reaction may be carried out under Michaelis-Becker conditions using O.dbd.P(OR.sub.v).sub.2.sup.- M.sup..sym. wherein M is a metal (Li, Na, or K).
At this stage, the compound of formula (IIf) may be optionally separated to its cis and trans isomers before further steps are carried out;
b) After the function W' has been modified to a displaceable group W (if necessary), the compound (IIf) is condensed with a purine or pyrimidine base, modified if necessary, derivative or analogue thereof (R2'), to yield (Ik) which is an ester of the compound of formula (I).
At this stage, R2 can be converted to another R2 if necessary.
c) Once made, esters (Ik) are converted to the corresponding phosphonate derivative of formula (Il) as described in Schemes 1 and 2.
Moreover, if Y is S, it may be oxidized to SO or SO.sub.2 by any method known in the art.

The compounds of formula (I) either as the racemic mixture or as the individual enantiomer may be useful for the treatment of humans or mammalians to inhibit at least one of the following viruses: HCMV (Human Cytomegalovirus), HSV-1 or HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex 1 or 2), HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), HTLV (Human T-lymphotropic virus), HBV (Hepatitis B Virus), or MCMV (murine cytomegalovirus).
It will be appreciated that the amount of a compound of the invention required for use in treatment will vary not only with the particular compound selected but also with the route of administration, the nature of the condition for which treatment is required and the age and condition of the patient and will be ultimately at the discretion of the attendant physician or veterinarian. In general however a suitable dose will be in the range of from about 0.1 to about 750 mg/kg of body weight per day, preferably in the range of 0.5 to 60 mg/kg/day, most preferably in the range of 1 to 20 mg/kg/day.
The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided dose administered at appropriate intervals, for example as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day.
The compound is conveniently administered in unit dosage form; for example containing 10 to 1500 mg, conveniently 20 to 1000 mg, most conveniently 50 to 700 mg of active ingredient per unit dosage form.
Ideally the active ingredient should be administered to achieve peak plasma concentrations of the active compound of from about 1 to about 75 .mu.M, preferably about 2 to 50 .mu.M, most preferable about 3 to about 30 .mu.M. This may be achieved, for example, by the intravenous injection of a 0.1 to 5% solution of the active ingredient, optionally in saline, or orally administered as a bolus containing about 1 to about 100 mg of the active ingredient. Desirable blood levels may be maintained by a continuous infusion to provide about 0.01 to about 5.0 mg/kg/hour or by intermittent infusions containing about 0.4 to about 15 mg/kg of the active ingredient.
While it is possible that, for use in therapy, a compound of the invention may be administered as the raw chemical it is preferable to present the active ingredient as a pharmaceutical formulation. The invention thus further provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers therefor and, optionally, other therapeutic and/or prophylactic ingredients. The carrier(s) must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
Pharmaceutical formulations include those suitable for oral, rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal and sub-lingual), vaginal or parenteral (including intramuscular, sub-cutaneous and intravenous) administration or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation. The formulations may, where appropriate, be conveniently presented in discrete dosage units and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. All methods include the step of bringing into association the active compound with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.
Pharmaceutical formulations suitable for oral administration may conveniently 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, a suspension or as an emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste. Tablets and capsules for oral administration may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, fillers, lubricants, disintegrants, or wetting agents. The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in the art. Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be presented as a dry product for constitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, emulsifying agents, non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils), or preservatives.
The compounds according to the invention may also be formulated for parenteral administration (e.g. by injection, for example bolus injection or continuous infusion) and may be presented in unit dose form in ampoules, pre-filled syringes, small volume infusion or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing an/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form, obtained by aseptic isolation of sterile solid or by lyophilisation from solution, for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.
For topical administration to the epidermis, the compounds according to the invention may be formulated as ointments, creams or lotions, or as a transdermal patch. Ointments and creams may, for example, be formulated with an aqueous or oily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gelling agents. Lotions may be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and will in general also contain one or more emulsifying agents, stabilizing agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, or colouring agents.
Formulations suitable for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges comprising active ingredient in a flavoured base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; pastilles comprising the active ingredient in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia; and mouthwashes comprising the active ingredient in a suitable liquid carrier.
Pharmaceutical formulations suitable for rectal administration wherein the carrier is a solid are most preferably presented as unit dose suppositories. Suitable carriers include cocoa butter and other materials commonly used in the art, and the suppositories may be conveniently formed by admixture of the active compound with the softened or melted carrier(s) followed by chilling and shaping in moulds.
Formulations suitable for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or sprays containing in addition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.
For intra-nasal administration the compounds of the invention may be used as a liquid spray or dispersible powder or in the form of drops. Drops may be formulated with an aqueous or non-aqueous base also comprising one more dispersing agents, solubilising agents or suspending agents. Liquid sprays are conveniently delivered from pressurized packs.
For administration by inhalation the compounds according to the invention are conveniently delivered from an insufflator, nebulizer or a pressurized pack or other convenient means of delivering an aerosol spray. Pressurized packs may comprise a suitable propellant such as dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount.
Alternatively, for administration by inhalation or insufflation, the compounds according to the invention may take the form of a dry powder composition, for example a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch. The powder composition may be presented in unit dosage form in, for example, capsules or cartridges or e.g. gelatin or blister packs from which the powder may be administered with the aid of an inhalator or insufflator.
