Aryl group-or aromatic heterocyclic group-substituted aminoquinolone derivatives and anti-hiv agent

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to derivatives of aminoquinolone, and uses therefor.
AIDS (Acquired Immuno-deficiency Syndrome) is now generally accepted as being caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
The aetiology of AIDS is not yet precisely known, but it is known that HIV mainly infects CD.sub.4 lymphocytes, generally of the class of helper/inducer cells. Lymphocyte numbers gradually decrease, and this eventually leads to severe cellular immunodeficiency.
Very considerable research has been put into finding a cure for AIDS, but the development of a vaccine has proven extremely difficult. Accordingly, other avenues have also been pursued. One such avenue is the development of antiviral agents.
An antiviral agent currently on the market for the treatment of AIDS is AZT (Azidothymidine). The method of action of AZT is to inhibit the inherent reverse transcriptase of HIV, thus retarding or stopping reproduction of the virus. However, such a treatment can, at the best, only prolong life expectancy, and cannot cure AIDS completely. Other antiviral agents which have been developed act in a similar fashion.
Such inhibitory agents are also associated with side effects, such as disorders of the bone marrow and digestive system, and it has also been found that tolerance, or even total resistance, can be induced in the virus with a high frequency. Such resistant viruses can be generated even in patients receiving long-term therapy.
In order to overcome the above problems, it would be highly desirable to develop new antiviral agents which could be used either alone, or in combination therapy with known agents.
Anti-HIV activity has recently been reported for the compound DR-3355, which is an optical isomer (S-isomer) of Ofloxacin, a synthetic anti-bacterial agent. Ofloxacin has a quinolone skeleton �J. Nozaki, Renard et al., AIDS (1990), 4, p. 1283!. Attempts by the present inventors to reproduce the antiviral activity of DR-3355, using the method of R. Pauwel, et al., (infra), have failed.
WO-A-90-13542 discloses the anti-HIV activity of Norfloxacin, Enoxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Lomefloxacin, Difloxacin and Tosufloxacin but, again, these compounds demonstrate little or no anti-HIV activity when tested by the Pauwel method. These compounds also possess a quinolone skeleton.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
We have now discovered a series of new quinolone derivatives which, whilst exhibiting considerably weaker antibacterial activity than those quinolone derivatives described above, exhibit very considerably enhanced anti-HIV activity. The new compounds disclosed herein have increased lipophilicity, and possess a diamine substituent which is, itself, further substituted by an aromatic group, such as an aryl group or an aromatic heterocyclic group. The compounds of the invention are both capable of inhibiting HIV replication and inhibiting the cytopathic effect (CPE) of HIV, and so are useful as agents to inhibit HIV replication and as anti-AIDS agents.

The compounds represented by the above formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) can be prepared by Method A shown below.
In the case of the compound represented by the formula (Ia), it can be also prepared by Method B shown below. ##STR37## wherein R, R.sup.1, Q, T, W, X, Y and Z each have the same meanings as defined above; Hal represents a halogen atom; and L represents a fluorine atom or an acetoxy group.
In Method A, the desired compound of the formula (Ia), (Ib) or (Ic) is prepared by coupling the quinolone derivative (IIIa), (IIIb) or (IIIc) with the cyclic amine derivative (V) in the presence or absence of a base and in the presence or absence of a solvent.
As the solvent to be used in this reaction, there may be preferably used an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, hexamethylphosphoric triamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide, and in addition, there may be also used ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; ethers such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; esters such as ethyl acetate; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol and butanol; and nitriles such as acetonitrile. As the base, there may be exemplified tertiary amines such as 1,8-diazabicyclo-�5.4.0!-7-undecene, 1,5-diazabicyclo�4.3.0!-5-nonene, triethylamine, tributylamine, pyridine, picoline, lutidine and collidine; a metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide and potassium-t-butoxide; and an inorganic base such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.
The amount of the base to be used is preferably an equimolar amount to 5-fold moles based on the compound (IIIa), (IIIb) or (IIIc), and when the above tertiary amine is used, an extremely excessive amount thereof may be used as a solvent. The excessive cyclic amine (V) also functions as a base so that the reaction can proceed smoothly even when other base is not added. The reaction is carried out in the range of 0.degree. C. to 200.degree. C.

Anti-HIV Activity
Anti-HIV activity for the compounds of the present invention was assayed by the method of Pauwel, et al, �Pauwel, R., et al, J. Virological Methods (1988), 20, 309-321!.
Exponentially growing MT-4 cells were centrifuged, and the pellets were resuspended in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal serum (serum medium). Portions of the cell suspension were either inoculated with HIV, or left uninfected. Serum medium was then further added to the suspensions, which were then washed and centrifuged. The resulting pellets were then suspended in serum medium to a concentration of 4.times.10.sup.5 cells/ml. Preparations of the test compound (in serum medium) were deleted in a stepwise manner, and 100 .mu.l of each of the solutions were placed in separated wells of a 96-well plastic microtitre plate. 100 .mu.l of each of the cell suspensions (infected and non-infected) were then added to the wells, so that each dilution of each of the test compounds was tested against both infected and non-infected cells. Blanks (not added either of the cells) were also prepared. The preparations were then cultured by standing the plate at 37.degree. C. for 5 days in the presence of 5 % carbon dioxide gas.
At the end of this time, living cells were assayed for CPE inhibitory activity by the spectrophotometric assay of the blue formazan produced by the reduction of MTT �3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide! which was added to the preparations.
CPE inhibitory activity was defined as 100% in non-infected cells to which no test compounds had been added, while CPE inhibitory activity was defined as 0% in infected cells to which test compounds had not been added. The effective concentration (EC.sub.50) of the compound at which 50% CPE inhibition was observed in HIV infected cells was then determined. A second index was then generated, concerning cellular cytotoxic activity of the compounds, by calculating the concentration (CC.sub.50) at which the test compounds caused 50% growth inhibition of non-infected cells.
Finally, a selective index (S.I.) was generated by calculating the value of CC.sub.50 /EC.sub.50, to give an index of anti-HIV activity. The results are shown in Table 28.
Analysis of the preparations, at various stages, indicated that the cells and preparations consistently remained mycoplasma-free.
TABLE 28______________________________________Compound of Example EC.sub.50 .mu.g/ml S.I.______________________________________ 1 0.015 400 2 0.03 100 6 0.02 34 7 0.22 113 8 0.1 50017 0.5 25018 0.07 12119 0.07 5721 0.037 1623 0.021 30924 0.07 25729 0.05 2237 0.23 >10938 0.07 7946 0.06 15553 0.3 >8363 0.01 100067 0.08 >500(96)70 0.5 2085 1.0 1787 0.074 >51292 0.8 3194 0.5 2195 0.4 >6299 1.0 >25100 0.4 9______________________________________
As can be seen from the above Table, the compounds of the present invention are effective in very small doses, and also exhibit an extremely high selective index.
By contrast, the prior art compounds (shown in Tables 29 and 30 below), and which are known as antibacterials, all had an EC.sub.50 in excess of 100 .mu.g/ml, when tested as above. Thus, the known compounds are at least 100 times less effective than the compounds of the present invention as anti-HIV agents.
