Antipicornaviral compounds and methods for their use and preparation

The invention pertains to the discovery and use of new compounds that inhibit the enzymatic activity of picornaviral 3C proteases, specifically rhinovirus proteases (RVPs), as well as retard viral growth in cell culture.
The picornaviruses are a family of tiny non-enveloped positive stranded RNA containing viruses that infect humans and other animals. These viruses include the human rhinoviruses, human polioviruses, human coxsackieviruses, human echoviruses, human and bovine enteroviruses, encephalomyocarditis viruses, menigovirus, foot and mouth viruses, hepatitis A virus and others. The human rhinoviruses are a major cause of the common cold. To date, there are no effective therapies to cure the common cold, only treatments that relieve the symptoms.
One strategy that may be useful to treat picornaviral infections is by inhibiting the proteolytic 3C enzymes. These enzymes are required for the natural maturation of the picornaviruses. They are responsible for the autocatalytic cleavage of the genomic, large polyprotein into the essential viral proteins. Members of the 3C protease family are cysteine proteases, where the sulfhydryl group most often cleaves the glutamine-glycine amide bond. In theory, inhibition of 3C proteases can block proteolytic cleavage of the polyprotein, which in turn can retard the maturation and replication of the viruses by interfering with viral particle production. Therefore, inhibiting the processing of this cysteine protease with selective, small molecules that are specifically recognized, may represent an important and useful approach to treat and cure viral infections of this nature and, in particular, the common cold.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to compounds that functions as picornaviral 3C protease inhibitors, particularly those that have antiviral activity. It is further directed to the preparation and use of such 3C protease inhibitors. The Inventors demonstrate that the compounds of the present invention bind to rhinovirus 3C proteases and preferably have antiviral cell culture activity. The enzymatic inhibition assays used reveal that these compounds can bind irreversibly, and the cell culture assays demonstrate that these compounds can possess antiviral activity.

The present invention is further directed to methods of inhibiting picornaviral 3C protease activity that comprises contacting the protease for the purpose of such inhibition with an effective amount of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug, salt, or solvate thereof. For example, one can inhibit picornaviral 3C protease activity in mammalian tissue by administering a compound of formula I or II or a pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug, salt, or solvate thereof. More particularly, the present invention is directed to methods of inhibiting rhinoviral protease activity.
The activity of the inventive compounds as inhibitors of picornaviral 3C protease activity may be measured by any of the methods available to those skilled in the art, including in vivo and in vitro assays. Examples of suitable assays for activity measurements include the Antiviral HI-HeLa Cell Culture Assay and the Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial Cell Assay, both described herein.
Administration of the compounds of the formulas I and II, or their pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts, and solvates, may be performed according to any of the accepted modes of administration available to those skilled in the art. Illustrative examples of suitable modes of administration include, but are not limited to, oral, nasal, parenteral, topical, transdermal and rectal.
The inventive compounds of formulas I and II, and their pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts, and solvates, may be administered as a pharmaceutical composition in any suitable pharmaceutical form recognizable to the skilled artisan. Suitable pharmaceutical forms include, but are not limited to, solid, semisolid, liquid, or lyopholized formulations, such as tablets, powders, capsules, suppositories, suspensions and aerosols. The pharmaceutical composition may also include suitable excipients, diluents, vehicles and carriers, as well as other pharmaceutically active agents, depending upon the intended use.
Acceptable methods of preparing suitable pharmaceutical forms of the pharmaceutical compositions are known to those skilled in the art. For example, pharmaceutical preparations may be prepared following conventional techniques of the pharmaceutical chemist involving steps such as mixing, granulating and compressing when necessary for tablet forms, or mixing, filling and dissolving the ingredients as appropriate, to give the desired products for oral, parenteral, topical, intravaginal, intranasal, intrabronchial, intraocular, intraural and/or rectal administration.
Solid or liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, vehicles or excipients may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions. Illustrative solid carriers include starch, lactose, calcium sulphate dihydrate, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid. Illustrative liquid carriers may include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, saline solution, and water. The carrier or diluent may include a suitable prolonged-release material, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or with a wax. When a liquid carrier is used, the preparation may be in the form of a syrup, elixir, emulsion, soft gelatin capsule, sterile injectable liquid (e.g. solution), or a nonaqueous or aqueous liquid suspension.
A dose of the pharmaceutical composition contains at least a therapeutically effective amount of the active compound (i.e., a compound of formula I or II or a pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug, salt, or solvate thereof) and preferably is made up of one or more pharmaceutical dosage units. The selected dose may be administered to a mammal, for example, a human patient, in need of treatment mediated by inhibition of 3C protease activity, by any known method of administering the dose including topical, for example, as an ointment or cream; orally, rectally, for example, as a suppository; parenterally by injection; or continuously by intravaginal, intranasal, intrabronchial, intraaural or intraocular infusion.
A "therapeutically effective amount" is intended to mean that amount of a compound of formula I or II that, when administered to a mammal in need thereof, is sufficient to effect treatment for disease conditions alleviated by the inhibition of the activity of one or more picarnoviral 3C proteases, such as human rhinoviruses, human poliovirus, human coxsackieviruses, encephalomyocarditis viruses, menigovirus, and hepatitis A virus. The amount of a given compound of formula I or II that will correspond to a "therapeutically effective amount" will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, the disease condition and the severity thereof, the identity of the mammal in need thereof, but can nevertheless be readily determined by one of skill in the art.
"Treating" or "treatment" is intended to mean at least the mitigation of a disease condition in a mammal, such as a human, that is alleviated by the inhibition of the activity of one or more picarnoviral 3C proteases, such as human rhinoviruses, human poliovirus, human coxsackieviruses, encephalomyocarditis viruses, menigovirus, and hepatitis A virus, and includes:
(a) prophylactic treatment in a mammal, particularly when the mammal is found to be predisposed to having the disease condition but not yet diagnosed as having it;
(b) inhibiting the disease condition; and/or
(c) alleviating, in whole or in part, the disease condition.
The inventive compounds, and their salts, solvates, and prodrugs, may be prepared by employing the techniques available in the art using starting materials that are readily available. Certain novel and exemplary methods of preparing the inventive compounds are described below.
Preferably, the inventive compounds of formulas I and II are prepared by the novel X methods of the present invention, including the four general methods shown below. In each of these general methods, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, Z, and Z.sub.1 are as defined above. ##STR192##
In General Method I, protected amino acid A, where P.sub.1 is an appropriate protecting group for nitrogen, is subjected to an amide forming reaction with amino alcohol (or salt thereof) B to produce amide C. Amide C is then deprotected to give free amine (or salt thereof) D. Amine D and compound F, where "Lv" is an appropriate leaving group, are subjected to a bond forming reaction generating compound F. Compound F is oxidized to intermediate G, which is then transformed into unsaturated product H. If protecting groups are used on any R groups (R.sub.1 -R.sub.6) and/or on Z and/or Z.sub.1, product H is deprotected and/or further modified to yield "deprotected or modified H."
An alternative method to prepare intermediate F is described as follows: ##STR193##
Compound E and amino acid (or salt thereof) I, where P.sub.2 is an appropriate protecting group for oxygen, are subjected to a bond forming reaction to produce intermediate J. Intermediate J is deprotected to yield free carboxylic acid K, which is subsequently subjected to an amide forming reaction with amino alcohol (or salt thereof) B to generate intermediate F.
Amino alcohol B can be prepared as follows: ##STR194##
Amino acid L, where P.sub.1 is an appropriate protecting group for nitrogen, is converted to carbonyl derivative M, where "Lv" is a leaving group. Compound M is subjected to a reaction where "Lv" is reduced to protected amino alcohol Q. Amino alcohol Q is deprotected to give amino alcohol B. ##STR195##
In General Method II, amino acid L, where P, is an appropriate protecting group for nitrogen, is converted to a carbonyl derivative M, where "Lv" is a leaving group. Compound M is subjected to a reaction where "Lv" is replaced by R.sub.1 to give derivative N. Derivative N is then transformed into unsaturated product O. Unsaturated compound O is deprotected to give free amine (or salt thereof) P, or modified one or more times at R.sub.2, R.sub.5, Z and/or Z.sub.1 to give one or more modified O compounds.
Modified O is then deprotected to give amine (or salt thereof) P. Amine P is subsequently subjected to an amide forming reaction with carboxylic acid K, prepared as described in General Method I, to give final product H. If protecting groups were used on any R group (R.sub.1 -R.sub.6) and/or on Z and/or Z.sub.1, product H is deprotected and/or further modified to yield "deprotected or modified H."
An alternative method to prepare intermediate N is described as follows: ##STR196##
Compound M is subjected to a reaction where "Lv" is reduced to protected amino alcohol Q. Amino alcohol Q is subsequently oxidized to derivative N. ##STR197##
In General Method III, amino acid L, where P.sub.1 is an appropriate protecting group for nitrogen, is converted to a carbonyl derivative M, where "Lv" is a leaving group. Derivative M is deprotected to give free amine (or salt thereof) R, which subsequently is subjected to an amide forming reaction with carboxylic acid K to give intermediate S. Intermediate S is then either converted directly to carbonyl intermediate G, or successively reduced to alcohol F, which is then oxidized to G. Intermediate G is subjected to a reaction to yield the unsaturated final product H. If protecting groups were used on any R groups (R.sub.1 -R.sub.6) and/or on Z and/or Z.sub.1, product H is deprotected and/or further modified to yield "deprotected or modified H." ##STR198##
In General Method IV, free amine (or salt thereof) P, prepared from intermediate O as described in General Method II, is converted to amide T by reaction with amino acid A, where P.sub.1 is an appropriate protecting group for nitrogen. Compound T is farther deprotected to free amine (or salt thereof) U, which is subsequently converted to H with reactive intermediate E. If protecting groups were used on any R groups (R.sub.1 -R.sub.6) and/or on Z and/or Z.sub.1, product H is deprotected and/or further modified to yield "deprotected or modified H."
Preferably the compound of formulas I or II can be prepared by one of four specific methods. For example, compounds 4, 12, 14, 16, 20, 23, 24, 26-30, 35, and 36 can be prepared by Specific Method I: ##STR199##
In Specific Method I, carboxylic acid K, CBZ-L-Leu-L-Phe, which can be purchased from Bachem or prepared as described in General Method I, is subjected to an amide forming reaction with amino alcohol (or salt thereof) B to generate intermediate F. Intermediate F is oxidized to intermediate G, which is then transformed into unsaturated product H. In the case of Compound 12, intermediate F is oxidized to modified F, which is then oxidized to intermediate G. If protecting groups were used on any R groups (R.sub.1 -R.sub.6) and/or on Z and/or Z.sub.1, product H is deprotected and/or further modified to yield "deprotected or modified H."
For example, compounds 1-3, 6-11, 17-19, 21, 22, 25, 37-40, and 74-77 can be prepared by Specific Method II: ##STR200##
In Specific Method II, intermediate P (or salt thereof), prepared as described in General Method II, is subjected to an amide forming reaction with carboxylic acid K, CBZ-L-Leu-L-Phe, which can be purchased from Bachem or prepared as described in General Method I, to give final product H. If protecting groups were used on any R group (R.sub.1 -R.sub.6) and/or on Z and/or Z.sub.1, product H is deprotected and/or further modified to yield "deprotected or modified H."
For example, compounds 5, 13, and 15 can be prepared by Specific Method III: ##STR201##
In Specific Method III, free amine (or salt thereof) R, prepared as described in General Method III, is subjected to an amide forming reaction with carboxylic acid K, CBZ-L-Leu-L-Phe, which can be purchased from Bachem or prepared as described in General Method I, to give intermediate S. Intermediate S is then either converted directly to carbonyl intermediate G, in the case of compounds 13 and 15, or reduced to alcohol F, which is then oxidized to intermediate G, in the case of compound 5. Intermediate G is subjected to a reaction to yield the unsaturated final product H. If protecting groups were used on any R groups (R.sub.1 -R.sub.6) and/or on Z and/or Z.sub.1, product H is deprotected and/or further modified to yield "deprotected or modified H."
For example, compounds 31-34 can be prepared by Specific Method IV: ##STR202##
In Specific Method IV, free amine (or salt thereof) P, prepared as described in General Method II, is converted to amide T by reaction with protected amino acid A, which can be purchased from Bachem, Advanced Chemtech, and Synthetech. Compound T is further deprotected to free amine (or salt thereof) U, which is subsequently converted to H with reactive intermediate E. If protecting groups were used on any R groups (R.sub.1 -R.sub.6) and/or on Z and/or Z.sub.1, product H is deprotected and/or further modified to yield "deprotected or modified H."
Suitable protecting groups for nitrogen are recognizable to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl, p-methoxybenxyloxycarbonyl, trifluoroacetamnide, and p-toluenesulfonyl.

BIOCHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION
Inhibition of Rhinovirus Protease
Stock solutions (50 mM, in DMSO) of various compounds were prepared; dilutions were in the same solvent. Recombinant Rhinovirus 3C proteases from serotypes 14, 16, 2 or 89 were prepared by the following standard chromatographic procedures: (1) ion exchange using Q Sepharose Fast Flow from Pharmacia; (2) affinity chromatography using Affi-Gel Blue from Biorad; and (3) sizing using Sephadex G-100 from Pharmacia. Assays contained 2% DMSO, 50 mM tris pH 7.6, 1 mM EDTA, a compound at the indicated concentrations, approximately 1 .mu.M substrate, and 50-100 nM protease. For K.sub.i determinations, the compound and the enzyme were preincubated for 10 minutes at 30.degree. C. prior to addition of the substrate (substrate start). The k.sub.obs/I values were obtained from reactions initiated by addition of enzyme rather than substrate. RVP activity is measured in the fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay. The substrate was (N-terminal) DABCYL-(Gly-Arg-Ala-Val-Phe-Gln-Gly-Pro-Val-Gyl)-EDANS. In the uncleaved peptide, the EDANS fluorescence was quenched by the proximal DABCYL moiety. When the peptide was cleaved, the quenching was relieved, and activity was measured as an increase in fluorescence signal. Data was analyzed using standard non linear fitting programs (Enzfit), and are shown Table 1.

In the above table, all data is for RVP serotype-14 unless otherwise noted in parentheses. All strains of human rhinovirus (HRV) were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), except for serotype 14, which was produced from the infectious cDNA clone constructed and supplied to us by Dr. Roland Rueckert at the Institute for Molecular Virology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis. The column designated INHIB represents the percent inhibition, with the concentration of the compound in .mu.M indicated in parentheses, unless K.sub.i was assigned as designated by (K.sub.i), at 10 minute preincubation with 50 nM RVP prior to addition of substrate was used. The data in the column designated k.sub.obs/I was measured from progress curves in enzyme start experiments. The designation NI indicates that no inhibition was obtained when 10 .mu.M of a compound was used. The designation ND indicates that a value was not determined for that compound.
Antirhinoviral HI-HeLa Cell Culture Assay
In the Cell Protection Assay, the ability of compounds to protect cells against HRV infection was measured by the XTT dye reduction method. This method is described in Weislow, O. S., R. Kiser, D. L. Fine, J. Bader, R. H. Shoemaker, and M. R. Boyd, J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 1989, 81, 577-586, which is incorporated herein by reference.
HI-HeLa cells were infected with HRV-14 at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 0.13 (virus particles/cell) or mock-infected with medium only. Infected or mock-infected cells were resuspended at 8.times.10.sup.5 cells per mL and incubated with appropriate concentrations of compounds of formulas I and II. Two days later, XTT/PMS was added to test plates and the amount of formazan produced was quantified spectrophotometrically at 450/650 nm. The EC.sub.50 was calculated as the concentration of compound that increased the percentage of formazan production in compound-treated, virus-infected cells to 50% of that produced by compound-free mock-infected cells. The 50% cytotoxic dose (CC.sub.50) was calculated as the concentration of compound that decreased the percentage of formazan produced in compound-treated, mock-infected cells to 50% of that produced in compound-free, mock-infected cells. The therapeutic index (TI) was calculated by dividing the CC.sub.50 the EC.sub.50.
All strains of human rhinovirus (HRV) for use in this assay were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), except for HRV serotype-14, which was produced from the infectious cDNA clone, constructed and supplied to us by Dr. Roland Rueckert the Institute for Molecular Virology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis. HRV stocks were propagated, and antiviral assays were performed in HI-HeLa cells (ATCC). Cells were grown in Minimal Essential Medium, available from Life Technologies, with 10% fetal bovine serum.
The compounds were tested against control compounds WIN 51711, WIN 52084, and WIN 54954, all obtained from Sterling-Winthrop Pharmaceuticals, and control compound Pirodavir, obtained from Janssen Pharmaceuticals.

Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial Cell Assay
Normal human bronchial cells were obtained from cadavers and cultured. The cells were plated 2.times.10.sup.4 per well in a 96 well plate. They were allowed to adhere and grow for 24 hours in 200 .mu.L of serum-free bronchial/tracheal epithelial cell growth medium at 37.degree. C. with 5% CO.sub.2. Human Rhinovirus-serotype 10 (HRV-10) was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). To start the assay, the supernatant was removed, and HRV-10 at an m.o.i. of 10 (virus particles/cell) was added to each well along with the appropiate amount of compound of formula I or II. The plate was then incubated at 34.degree. C. After 3 hours the supernatant was removed, and 200 .mu.L of media was added along with the same concentration of compound as used in the beginning of the assay. The plates were incubated for 3-4 days at 34.degree. C. To determine the amount of cell growth, an MTT assay (0.5 mgs/mL), as described in Mosmann, T. J. J. Immunol. Methods 1983, 65, 55-63, which is incorporated herein by reference, was performed on the cells, and the plate was read at an optical density of 540 nm. The results of the assay are set forth in Table 3. The compounds were tested against control compound Pirodavir, obtained from Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The EC.sub.50 was measured as described above for the HI-HeLa Cell Culture Assay.

Anticoxsackieviral HI-HeLa Cell Culture Assay
The ability of compounds to protect calls against CVB-3 infection was measured by the XTT dye reduction method, which is described in Weislow, O. S., R. Kiser, D. L. Fine, J. Bader, R. H. Shoemaker, and M. R. Boyd, 1989, J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 81:577-586, which is incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, HI-HeLa cells were infected with CVB-3 at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 0.08 or mock-infected with medium only. Infected or mock-infected cells were resuspended at 8.times.10.sup.50 cells per mL and incubated with appropriate concentrations of compound. One day later, XTT/PMS was added to test plates and the amount of formazan produced was quantified spectrophotometrically at 450/650 nm. The EC.sub.50 was calculated as the concentration of compound that increased the percentage of formazan production in compound-treated, virus-infected cells to 50% of that produced by compound free, mock-infected cells. The 50% cytotoxic dose (CC.sub.50) was calculated as the concentration of drug that decreased the percentage of formazan produced in compound treated, mock-infected cells to 50% of that produced in compound-free, mock-infected cells. The therapeutic index (TI) was calculated by dividing the CC.sub.50 by the EC.sub.50.
The Coxsackie strain B-3 (CVB-3) was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Virus stocks were propagated and antiviral assays were performed in Hi-HeLa cells (ATCC). Cells were grown in Minimal Essential Medium with 10% fetal bovine serum.
The compounds were tested against control compound WIN 54954, obtained from Sterling Winthrop Pharmaceuticals, and control compound Pirodavir, obtained from Janssen Pharmaceuticals.
