Carbocyclic compounds

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/009,306, filed Dec. 29, 1995.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Neuraminidase (also known as sialidase, acylneuraminyl hydrolase, and EC 3.2.1.18) is an enzyme common among animals and a number of microorganisms. It is a glycohydrolase that cleaves terminal alpha-ketosidically linked sialic acids from glycoproteins, glycolipids and oligiosaccharides. Many of the microorganisms containing neuraminidase are pathogenic to man and other animals including fowl, horses, swine and seals. These pathogenic organisms include influenza virus.
Neuraminidase has been implicated in the pathogenicity of influenza virus. It is thought to help the elution of newly synthesized virons from infected cells and assist in the movement of the virus (through its hydrolase activity) through the mucus of the respiratory tract.
Inhibition of glycolytic enzymes such as neuraminidase is an object of the invention.
An additional object of the invention is to provide neuraminidase inhibitors that exhibit lengthy biological half-lives compared to known compounds.
Another object is to provide improved and less costly methods for synthesis of neuraminidase inhibitors.
A further object is to provide such inhibitors having elevated potency, substantial oral bioavailability (>15%) and clinically acceptable or absent toxicity compared to known compounds.
An additional object is to provide compositions useful in preparing polymers, surfactants, immunogens and for use in other industrial processes and articles as will be readily apparent to the ordinary artisan or as is further described herein.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

Typically, R.sub.1 is H or alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, usually H or an alkyl of 1 to 4 or 5 to 10 carbon atoms, still more typically, H or an alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms selected from methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and i-propyl. Most typically R.sub.1 is H.
m1 is an integer of 0 to 2, typically 0 or 1, most typically 0.
m2 is an integer of 0 to 1.
m3 is an integer of 1 to 3.
W.sub.1 is a group comprising an acidic hydrogen or a protected acidic group, which, within the context of the invention, means a group having a hydrogen atom that can be removed by a base yielding an anion or its corresponding salt or solvate. The general principles of acidity and basicity of organic materials are well understood and are to be understood as defining W.sub.1. They will not be detailed here. However, a description appears in Streitwieser, A.; and Heathcock, C. H.; "Introduction to Organic Chemistry, Second Edition" (Macmillan, New York, 1981), pages 60-64. Generally, acidic groups of the invention have pK values less than that of water, usually less than pK=10, typically less than pK=8, and frequently less than pK=6. They include tetrazoles and the acids of carbon, sulfur, phosphorous and nitrogen, typically the carboxylic, sulfuric, sulfonic sulfinic, phosphoric and phosphonic acids, together with the R.sub.6c amides and R.sub.6b esters of those acids (R.sub.6a and R.sub.6c are defined below). Exemplary W.sub.1 are --CO.sub.2 H, --CO.sub.2 R.sub.6a. --OSO.sub.3 H, --SO.sub.3 H, --SO.sub.2 H, --OPO.sub.3 H.sub.2, --PO.sub.3 (R.sub.6a).sub.2, --PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, --PO.sub.3 (H)(R.sub.6a), and OPO.sub.3 (R.sub.6a).sub.2. W.sub.1 typically is E.sub.1, and E.sub.1 typically is --CO.sub.2 H, --CO.sub.2 R.sub.6a, --CO.sub.2 R.sub.4 or CO.sub.2 R.sub.1, and most typically is CO.sub.2 R.sub.14 wherein R.sub.14 is normal or terminally secondary C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl.
W.sub.1 may also be a protected acidic group, which, within the context of the invention means an acidic group as described above that has been protected by one of the groups commonly used in the art for such groups and are described below under R.sub.6a. More typically, protected W.sub.1 is --CO.sub.2 R.sub.1, --SO.sub.3 R.sub.1, --S(O)OR.sub.1, --P(O)(OR.sub.1).sub.2, --C(O)NHSO.sub.2 R.sub.4, or --SO.sub.2 NHC(O)--R.sub.4, wherein R.sub.1 is defined above.
Most typically, E.sub.1 is selected from --C(O)O(CH.sub.2).sub.b CH((CH.sub.2).sub.c CH.sub.3).sub.2 where b=0 to 4, c=0 to 4, and b+c=1 to 4, or from the group of ##STR13##
Exemplary E.sub.1 groups are listed in Tables 3a through 3b.
G.sub.1 is N.sub.3, --CN, --OH, --NO.sub.2, OR.sub.6a or --(CR.sub.1 R.sub.1).sub.m1 W.sub.2, wherein R.sub.1 and m1 are defined above. Ordinarily, G.sub.1 is --(CR.sub.1 R.sub.1).sub.m1 W.sub.2.
W.sub.2 is a group comprising a basic heteroatom or a protected basic heteroatom. W.sub.2 generally comprises a basic heteroatom, which, within the context of the invention means an atom other than carbon which is capable of protonation, typically by an acidic hydrogen having an acidity in the range described above for W.sub.1. The basic principles of basicity are described in Streitwieser and Heathcock (op. cit.) and provide meaning for the term basic heteroatom as will be understood by those ordinarily skilled in the art. Generally, the basic heteroatoms employed in the compounds of the invention have pK values for the corresponding protonated form that are in the range of values described above for W.sub.1. Basic heteroatoms include the heteroatoms common in organic compounds which have an un-shared, non-bonding, n-type, or the like, electron pair. By way of example and not limitation, typical basic heteroatoms include the oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms of groups such as alcohols, amines, amidines, guanidines, sulfides, and the like, frequently, amines, amidines and guanidines. Ordinarily, W.sub.2 is amino or an amino alkyl (generally lower alkyl) group such as aminomethyl, aminoethyl or aminopropyl; an amidinyl, or an amidinoalkyl group such as amidinomethyl, amidinoethyl, or amidinopropyl; or guanidinyl, or a guanidinoalkyl group such as guanidinomethyl, guanidinoethyl, or guanidinopropyl (in each instance wherein the alkyl group serves to bridge the basic substituent to the carbocyclic ring). More typically, W.sub.2 is amino, amidino, guanidino, heterocycle, heterocycle substituted with 1 or 2 amino or guanidino groups (usually 1), or an alkyl of 2 to 3 carbon atoms substituted with amino or guanidino, or such alkyl substituted with an amino and a second group selected from the group consisting of hydroxy and amino. The heterocycles useful as W.sub.2 include typically N or S-containing 5 or 6 membered rings, wherein the ring contains 1 or 2 heteroatoms. Such heterocycles generally are substituted at ring carbon atoms. They may be saturated or unsaturated and may be linked to the core cyclohexene by lower alkyl (m1=1 or 2) or by --NR.sub.1 --. Still more typically, W.sub.2 is --NHR.sub.1, --C(NH)(NH.sub.2), --NR.sub.1 --C(NR.sub.1)(NR.sub.1 R.sub.3), --NH--C(NH)(NHR.sub.3), --NH--C(NH)(NHR.sub.1), --NH--C(NH)NH.sub.2, --CH(CH.sub.2 NHR.sub.1)(CH.sub.2 OH), --CH(CH.sub.2 NHR.sub.1)(CH.sub.2 NHR.sub.1), --CH(NHR.sub.1)--(CR.sub.1 R.sub.1).sub.m2 --CH(NHR.sub.1)R.sub.1, --CH(OH)--(CR.sub.1 R.sub.1).sub.m2 --CH(NHR.sub.1)R.sub.1, or --CH(NHR.sub.1)--(CR.sub.1 R.sub.1).sub.m2 --CH(OH)R.sub.1, --(CR.sub.1 R.sub.1).sub.m2 --S--C(NH)NH.sub.2, --N.dbd.C(NHR.sub.1)(R.sub.3), --N.dbd.C(SR.sub.1)N(R.sub.1).sub.2, --N(R.sub.1)C(NH)N(R.sub.1)C.dbd.N, or --N.dbd.C(NHR.sub.1)(R.sub.1); wherein each m2 is ordinarily 0, and ordinarily R.sub.1 is H and R.sub.3 is C(O)N(R.sub.1).sub.2.
W.sub.2 optionally is a protected basic heteroatom which within the context of the invention means a basic heteroatom as described above that has, been protected by R.sub.6b such as one of the groups common in the art. Such groups are described in detail in Greene (op. cit.) as set forth below. Such groups include by way of example and not limitation, amides, carbamates, amino acetals, imines, enamines, N-alkyl or N-aryl phosphinyls, N-alkyl or N-aryl sulfenyls or sulfonyls, N-alkyl or N-aryl silyls, thioethers, thioesters, disulfides, sulfenyls, and the like. In some embodiments, the protecting group R.sub.6b will be cleavable under physiological conditions, typically it will be cleavable in vivo where, for example, the basic heteroatom forms an amide with an organic acid or an amino acid such as a naturally occurring amino acid or a polypeptide as described below for the R.sub.6a group.

Groups R.sub.6a and R.sub.6b are not critical functionalities and may vary widely.
R.sub.6a is H or an ether- or ester-forming group. Particularly of interest are ether- or ester-forming groups that are capable of functioning as 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 dealt with as amides, discussed under R.sub.6c below. R.sub.6c is capable of protecting hydroxyl or thio groups such that hydrolysis from the parental molecule yields hydroxyl or thio.
In its ester-forming role, R.sub.6a typically is bound to any acidic group such as, by way of example and not limitation, a --CO.sub.2 H or --C(S)OH group, thereby resulting in --CO.sub.2 R.sub.6a. R.sub.6a for example is deduced from the ester groups of WO 95/07920. R.sub.6a is not critical because its ordinary role is to serve as an intermediate for the active drug product or parental molecule of this invention. It is removed either in vitro or in vivo, so it is not even necessary in the first instance that the resulting alcohol be physiologically acceptable.

R.sub.6a also includes alkyl- or aryl-acyloxyalkyl groups of the structure --CH.sub.2 O(CO)R.sub.37 or --CH.sub.2 (CO)OR.sub.38 (linked to oxygen of the acidic group) wherein R.sub.37 and R.sub.38 are alkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl groups (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,968,788). Frequently R.sub.37 and R.sub.38 are bulky groups such as branched alkyl, ortho-substituted aryl, meta-substituted aryl, or combinations thereof, including normal, secondary, iso- and tertiary alkyls of 1-6 carbon atoms. An example is the pivaloyloxymethyl group. These are of particular use with prodrugs for oral administration.

R.sub.6a, R.sub.6c and R.sub.6b groups optionally are used to prevent side reactions with the protected group during synthetic procedures, so they can function as protecting groups (PRT) during synthesis. For the most part the decision as to which groups to protect, when to do so, and the nature of the PRT 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. The PRT groups do not need to be, and generally are not, the same if the compound is substituted with multiple PRT. In general, PRT will be used to protect carboxyl, hydroxyl or amino groups. The order of deprotection to yield free groups is dependent upon the intended direction of the synthesis and the reaction conditions to be encountered, and may occur in any order.
A very large number of R.sub.6a hydroxy protecting groups and R.sub.6c amide-forming groups and corresponding chemical cleavage reactions are described in "Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry", 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 R.sub.6a carboxylic acid, phosphonic acid, phosphonate, sulfonic acid and other protecting groups for W.sub.1 acids see Greene as set forth below. Such groups include by way of example and not limitation, esters, amides, hydrazides, and the like.
In some embodiments the R.sub.6a protected acidic group is an ester of the acidic group and R.sub.6a is the residue of a hydroxyl-containing functionality. In other embodiments, an R.sub.6c amino compound is used to protect the acid functionality. The residues of suitable hydroxyl or amino-containing functionalities are set forth above or are found in WO 95/07920. Of particular interest are the residues of amino acids, amino acid esters, polypeptides, or aryl alcohols. Typical amino acid, polypeptide and carboxyl-esterified amino acid residues are described on pages 11-18 and related text of WO 95/07920 as groups L1 or L2, which is hereby incorporated by reference. WO 95/07920 expressly teaches the amidates of phosphonic acids, but it will be understood that such amidates are formed with any of the acid groups set forth herein and the amino acid residues set forth in WO 95/07920.
Typical R.sub.6a esters for protecting W.sub.1 acidic functionalities are also described in WO 95/07920, again understanding that the same esters can be formed with the acidic groups herein as with the phosphonate of the '920 publication. Typical ester groups are defined at least on WO 95/07920 pages 89-93 (under R.sup.31 or R.sup.35), the table on page 105, and pages 21-23 (as R). Of particular interest are esters of unsubstituted aryl such as phenyl or arylalkyl such benzyl, or hydroxy-, halo-, alkoxy-, carboxy- and/or alkylestercarboxy-substituted aryl or alkylaryl, especially phenyl, ortho-ethoxyphenyl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylestercarboxyphenyl (salicylate C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkylesters).
The protected acidic groups W.sub.1, particularly when using the esters or amides of WO 95/07920, are useful as prodrugs for oral administration. However, it is not essential that the W.sub.1 acidic group be protected in order for the compounds of this invention to be effectively administered by the oral route. When the compounds of the invention having protected groups, in particular amino acid amidates or substituted and unsubstituted aryl esters are administered systemically or orally they are capable of hydrolytic cleavage in vivo to yield the free acid.
One or more of the acidic hydroxyls are protected. If more than one acidic hydroxyl is protected then the same or a different protecting group is employed, e.g., the esters may be different or the same, or a mixed amidate and ester may be used.

R.sub.6b is H, a protecting group for amino or the residue of a carboxyl-containing compound, in particular H, --C(O)R.sub.4, an amino acid, a polypeptide or a protecting group not --C(O)R.sub.4, amino acid or polypeptide. Amide-forming R.sub.6b are found for instance in group G.sub.1.

More typically, protected amino groups include carbamates and amides, still more typically, --NHC(O)R.sub.1 or --N.dbd.CR.sub.1 N(R.sub.1).sub.2.
R.sub.6c is H or the residue of an amino-containing compound, in particular an amino acid, a polypeptide, a protecting group, --NHSO.sub.2 R.sub.4, NHC(O)R.sub.4, --N(R.sub.4).sub.2, NH.sub.2 or --NH(R.sub.4)(H), whereby for example the carboxyl or phosphonic acid groups of W.sub.1 are reacted with the amine to form an amide, as in --C(O)R.sub.6c, --P(O)(R.sub.6c).sub.2 or --P(O)(OH)(R.sub.6c). In general, R.sub.6c has the structure R.sub.17 C(O)CH(R.sub.16)NH--, where R.sub.17 is OH, OR.sub.6a, OR.sub.5, an amino acid or a polypeptide residue.
Amino acids are low molecular weight compounds, on the order of less than about 1,000 MW, that contain at least one amino or imino group and at least one carboxyl group. Generally the amino acids will be found in nature, i.e., can be detected in biological material such as bacteria or other microbes, plants, animals or man. Suitable amino acids typically are alpha amino acids, i.e. compounds characterized by one amino or imino nitrogen atom separated from the carbon atom of one carboxyl group by a single substituted or unsubstituted alpha carbon atom. Of particular interest are hydrophobic residues such as mono-or di-alkyl or aryl amino acids, cycloalkylamino acids and the like. These residues contribute to cell permeability by increasing the partition coefficient of the parental drug. Typically, the residue does not contain a sulfhydryl or guanidino substituent.
Naturally-occurring amino acid residues are those residues found naturally in plants, animals or microbes, especially proteins thereof. Polypeptides most typically will be substantially composed of such naturally-occurring amino acid residues. These amino acids are glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, cysteine, methionine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, hydroxylysine, arginine, histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, proline, asparagine, glutamine and hydroxyproline.
When R.sub.6b and R.sub.6c are single amino acid residues or polypeptides they usually are substituted at R.sub.3, W.sub.6, W.sub.1 and/or W.sub.2, but typically only W.sub.1 or W.sub.2. These conjugates are produced by forming an amide bond between a carboxyl group of the amino acid (or C-terminal amino acid of a polypeptide for example) and W.sub.2. Similarly, conjugates are formed between W.sub.1 and an amino group of an amino acid or polypeptide. Generally, only one of any site in the parental molecule is amidated with an amino acid as described herein, although it is within the scope of this invention to introduce amino acids at more than one permitted site. Usually, a carboxyl group of W.sub.1 is amidated with an amino acid. In general, the .alpha.-amino or .alpha.-carboxyl group of the amino acid or the terminal amino or carboxyl group of a polypeptide are bonded to the parental functionalities, i.e., carboxyl or amino groups in the amino acid side chains generally are not used to form the amide bonds with the parental compound (although these groups may need to be protected during synthesis of the conjugates as described further below).
With respect to the carboxyl-containing side chains of amino acids or polypeptides it will be understood that the carboxyl group optionally will be blocked e.g. by R.sub.6a, esterified with R.sub.5 or amidated with R.sub.6c. Similarly, the amino side chains R.sub.16 optionally will be blocked with R.sub.6b or substituted with R.sub.5.
Such ester or amide bonds with side chain amino or carboxyl groups, like the esters or amides with the parental molecule, optionally are hydrolyzable in vivo or in vitro under acidic (pH <3) or basic (pH >10) conditions. Alternatively, they are substantially stable in the gastrointestinal tract of humans but are hydrolyzed enzymatically in blood or in intracellular environments. The esters or amino acid or polypeptide amidates also are useful as intermediates for the preparation of the parental molecule containing free amino or carboxyl groups. The free acid or base of the parental compound, for example, is readily formed from the esters or amino acid or polypeptide conjugates of this invention by conventional hydrolysis procedures.
When an amino acid residue contains one or more chiral centers, any of the D, L, meso, threo or erythro (as appropriate) racemates, scalemates or mixtures thereof may be used. In general, if the intermediates are to be hydrolyzed non-enzymatically (as would be the case where the amides are used as chemical intermediates for the free acids or free amines), D isomers are useful. On the other hand, L isomers are more versatile since they can be susceptible to both non-enzymatic and enzymatic hydrolysis, and are more efficiently transported by amino acid or dipeptidyl transport systems in the gastrointestinal tract.

Polypeptides are polymers of amino acids in which a carboxyl group of one amino acid monomer is bonded to an amino or imino group of the next amino acid monomer by an amide bond. Polypeptides include dipeptides, low molecular weight polypeptides (about 1500-5000 MW) and proteins. Proteins optionally contain 3, 5, 10, 50, 75, 100 or more residues, and suitably are substantially sequence-homologous with human, animal, plant or microbial proteins. They include enzymes (e.g., hydrogen peroxidase) as well as immunogens such as KLH, or antibodies or proteins of any type against which one wishes to raise an immune response. The nature and identity of the polypeptide may vary widely.
The polypeptide amidates are useful as immunogens in raising antibodies against either the polypeptide (if it is not immunogenic in the animal to which it is administered) or against the epitopes on the remainder of the compound of this invention.
Antibodies capable of binding to the parental non-peptidyl compound are used to separate the parental compound from mixtures, for example in diagnosis or manufacturing of the parental compound. The conjugates of parental compound and polypeptide generally are more immunogenic than the polypeptides in closely homologous animals, and therefore make the polypeptide more immunogenic for facilitating raising antibodies against it. Accordingly, the polypeptide or protein may not need to be immunogenic in an animal typically used to raise antibodies, e.g., rabbit, mouse, horse, or rat, but the final product conjugate should be immunogenic in at least one of such animals. The polypeptide optionally contains a peptidolytic enzyme cleavage site at the peptide bond between the first and second residues adjacent to the acidic heteroatom. Such cleavage sites are flanked by enzymatic recognition structures, e.g. a particular sequence of residues recognized by a peptidolytic enzyme.
Peptidolytic enzymes for cleaving the polypeptide conjugates of this invention are well known, and in particular include carboxypeptidases. Carboxypeptidases digest polypeptides by removing C-terminal residues, and are specific in many instances for particular C-terminal sequences. Such enzymes and their substrate requirements in general are well known. For example, a dipeptide (having a given pair of residues and a free carboxyl terminus) is covalently bonded through its .alpha.-amino group to the phosphorus or carbon atoms of the compounds herein. In embodiments where W.sub.1 is phosphonate it is expected that this peptide will be cleaved by the appropriate peptidolytic enzyme, leaving the carboxyl of the proximal amino acid residue to autocatalytically cleave the phosphonoamidate bond.
Suitable dipeptidyl groups (designated by their single letter code) are AA, AR, AN, AD, AC, AE, AQ, AG, AH, AI, AL, AK, AM, AF, AP, AS, AT, AW, AY, AV, RA, RR, RN, RD, RC, RE, RQ, RG, RH, RI, RL, RK, RM, RF, RP, RS, RT, RW, RY, RV, NA, NR, NN, ND, NC, NE, NQ, NG, NH, NI, NL, NK, NM, NF, NP, NS, NT, NW, NY, NV, DA, DR, DN, DD, DC, DE, DQ, DG, DH, DI, DL, DK, DM, DF, DP, DS, DT, DW, DY, DV, CA, CR, CN, CD, CC, CE, CQ, CG, CH, CI, CL, CK, CM, CF, CP, CS, CT, CW, CY, CV, EA, ER, EN, ED, EC, EE, EQ, EG, EH, EI, EL, EK, EM, EF, EP, ES, ET, EW, EY, EV, QA, QR, QN, QD, QC, QE, QQ, QG, QH, QI, QL, QK, QM, QF, QP, QS, QT, QW, QY, QV, GA, GR, GN, GD, GC, GE, GQ, GG, GH, GI, GL, GK, GM, GF, GP, GS, GT, GW, GY, GV, HA, HR, HN, HD, HC, HE, HQ, HG, HH, HI, HL, HK, HM, HF, HP, HS, HT, HW, HY, HV, IA, IR, IN, ID, IC, IE, IQ, IG, IH, II, IL, IK, IM, IF, IP, IS, IT, IW, IY, IV, LA, LR, LN, LD, LC, LE, LQ, LG, LH, LI, LL, LK, LM, LF, LP, LS, LT, LW, LY, LV, KA, KR, KN, KD, KC, KE, KQ, KG, KH, KI, KL, KK, KM, KF, KP, KS, KT, KW, KY, KV, MA, MR, MN, MD, MC, ME, MQ, MG, MH, MI, ML, MK, MM, MF, MP, MS, MT, MW, MY, MV, FA, FR, FN, FD, FC, FE, FQ, FG, FH, FI, FL, FK, FM, FF, FP, FS, FT, FW, FY, FV, PA, PR, PN, PD, PC, PE, PQ, PG, PH, PI, PL, PK, PM, PF, PP, PS, PT, PW, PY, PV, SA, SR, SN, SD, SC, SE, SQ, SG, SH, SI, SL, SK, SM, SF, SP, SS, ST, SW, SY, SV, TA, TR, TN, TD, TC, TE, TQ, TG, TH, TI, TL, TK, TM, TF, TP, TS, TT, TW, TY, TV, WA, WR, WN, WD, WC, WE, WQ, WG, WH, WI, WL, WK, WM, WF, WP, WS, WT, WW, WY, WV, YA, YR, YN, YD, YC, YE, YQ, YG, YH, YI, YL, YK, YM, YF, YP, YS, YT, YW, YY, YV, VA, VR, VN, VD, VC, VE, VQ, VG, VH, VI, VL, VK, VM, VF, VP, VS, VT, VW, VY and VV.
Tripeptide residues are also useful as R.sub.6b or R.sub.6c. When W.sub.1 is phosphonate, the sequence -X4-pro-X5-(where X4 is any amino acid residue and X5 is an amino acid residue, a carboxyl ester of proline, or hydrogen) will be cleaved by luminal carboxypeptidase to yield X4 with a free carboxyl, which in turn is expected to autocatalytically cleave the phosphonoamidate bond. The carboxy group of X5 optionally is esterified with benzyl.
Dipeptide or tripeptide species can be selected on the basis of known transport properties and/or susceptibility to peptidases that can affect transport to intestinal mucosal or other cell types. Dipeptides and tripeptides lacking an .alpha.-amino group are transport substrates for the peptide transporter found in brush border membrane of intestinal mucosal cells (Bai, J. P. F., "Pharm Res." 9:969-978 (1992). Transport competent peptides can thus be used to enhance bioavailability of the amidate compounds. Di- or tripeptides having one or more amino acids in the D configuration are also compatible with peptide transport and can be utilized in the amidate compounds of this invention. Amino acids in the D configuration can be used to reduce the susceptibility of a di- or tripeptide to hydrolysis by proteases common to the brush border such as aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2). In addition, di- or tripeptides alternatively are selected on the basis of their relative resistance to hydrolysis by proteases found in the lumen of the intestine. For example, tripeptides or polypeptides lacking asp and/or glu are poor substrates for aminopeptidase A (EC 3.4.11.7), di- or tripeptides lacking amino acid residues on the N-terminal side of hydrophobic amino acids (leu, tyr, phe, val, tip) are poor substrates for endopeptidase 24.11 (EC 3.4.24.11), and peptides lacking a pro residue at the penultimate position at a free carboxyl terminus are poor substrates for carboxypeptidase P (EC 3.4.17). Similar considerations can also be applied to the selection of peptides that are either relatively resistant or relatively susceptible to hydrolysis by cytosolic, renal, hepatic, serum or other peptidases. Such poorly cleaved polypeptide amidates are immunogens or are useful for bonding to proteins in order to prepare immunogens.
Stereoisomers
The compounds of the invention are enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric atoms. For example, the chiral centers apparent from the depictions are provided as the chiral isomers or racemic mixtures. Both racemic and diasteromeric 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 invention. 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.
Exemplary stereochemistry of the compounds of this invention is set forth below in Table C.

The compounds of the invention can also exist as tautomeric isomers in certain cases. For example, ene-amine tautomers can exist for imidazole, guanidine, amidine, and tetrazole systems and all their possible tautomeric forms are within the scope of the invention.
Salts and Hydrates
The compositions of this invention optionally comprise salts of the compounds herein, especially pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salts containing, for example, Na.sup.+, Li.sup.+, K.sup.+, Ca.sup.++ and Mg.sup.++. Such salts may include those derived by combination of appropriate cations such as alkali and alkaline earth metal ions or ammonium and quaternary amino ions with an acid anion moiety, typically the W.sub.1 l group carboxylic acid. Monovalent salts are prefered if a water soluble salt is desired.
Metal salts typically are prepared by reacting the metal hydroxide with a compound of this invention. 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.
In addition, salts may be formed from acid addition of certain organic and inorganic acids, e.g., HCl, HBr, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, or organic solfonic acids, to basic centers, typically amines of group G.sub.1, or to acidic groups such as E.sub.1. Finally, it is to be understood that the compositions herein comprise compounds of the invention in their un-ionized, as well as zwitterionic form, and combinations with stoiochimetric amounts of water as in hydrates.
Also included within the scope of this invention are the salts of the parental compounds with one or more amino acids. Any of the amino acids described above are suitable, especially the naturally-occuring 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 Neuraminidase
Another aspect of the invention relates to methods of inhibiting the activity of neuraminidase comprising the step of treating a sample suspected of containing neuraminidase with a compound of the invention.
Compositions of the invention act as inhibitors of neuraminidase, as intermediates for such inhibitors or have other utilities as described below. The inhibitors will bind to locations on the surface or in a cavity of neuraminidase having a geometry unique to neuraminidase. Compositions binding neuraminidase may bind with varying degrees of reversibility. Those compounds binding substantially irreversibly are ideal candidates for use in this method of the invention. Once labeled, the substantially irreversibly binding compositions are useful as probes for the detection of neuraminidase. Accordingly, the invention relates to methods of detecting neuraminidase in a sample suspected of containing neuraminidase comprising the steps of: treating a sample suspected of containing neuraminidase with a composition comprising a compound of the invention 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.
Within the context of the invention samples suspected of containing neuraminidase 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 an organism which produces neuraminidase, frequently a pathogenic organism such as a virus. Samples can be contained in any medium including water and organic solvent.backslash.water mixtures. Samples include living organisms such as humans, and man made materials such as cell cultures.
The treating step of the invention comprises adding the composition of the invention 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.
If desired, the activity of neuraminidase after application of the composition can be observed by any method including direct and indirect methods of detecting neuraminidase activity. Quantitative, qualitative, and semiquantitative methods of determining neuraminidase 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.
Organisms that contain neuraminidase include bacteria (Vibrio cholerae, Clostridium perfringens, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Arthrobacter sialophilus) and viruses (especially orthomyxoviruses or paramyxoviruses such as influenza virus A and B, parainfluenza virus, mumps virus, Newcastle disease virus, fowl plague virus, and sendai virus). Inhibition of neuraminidase activity obtained from or found within any of these organisms is within the objects of this invention. The virology of influenza viruses is described in "Fundamental Virology" (Raven Press, New York, 1986), Chapter 24. The compounds of this invention are useful in the prophylaxis of influenza infections or treatment of existing influenza infections in animals such as duck, rodens, or swine, or in man.
Screens for Neuraminidase Inhibitors
Compositions of the invention are screened for inhibitory activity against neuraminidase by any of the conventional techniques for evaluating enzyme activity. Within the context of the invention, typically compositions are first screened for inhibition of neuraminidase in vitro and compositions showing inhibitory activity are then screened for activity in vivo. Compositions having in vitro Ki (inhibitory constants) of less then about 5.times.10.sup.-6 M, typically less than about 1.times.10.sup.-7 M and preferably less than about 5.times.10.sup.-8 M are preferred for in vivo use.
Useful in vitro screens have been described in detail and will not be elaborated here. However, Itzstein, M. von et al.; "Nature", 363(6428):418-423 (1993), in particular page 420, column 2, full paragraph 3, to page 421, column 2, first partial paragraph, describes a suitable in vitro assay of Potier, M.; et al.; "Analyt. Biochem.", 94:287-296 (1979), as modified by Chong, A. K. J.; et al.; "Biochem. Biophys. Acta", 1077:65-71 (1991); and Colman, P. M.; et al.; International Publication No. WO 92/06691 (Int. App. No. PCT/AU90/00501, publication date Apr. 30, 1992) page 34, line 13, to page 35, line 16, describes another useful in vitro screen.
In vivo screens have also been described in detail, see Itzstein, M. von et al.; op. cit., in particular page 421, column 2, first full paragraph, to page 423, column 2, first partial paragraph, and Colman, P. M.; et al.; op. cit. page 36, lines 1-38, describe suitable in vivo screens.
Pharmaceutical Formulations and Routes of Administration
The compounds of this invention 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), which is expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety. 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.
One or more compounds of the invention (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 invention is that they are orally bioavailable and can be dosed orally; it is not necessary to administer them by intrapulmonary or intranasal routes.
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 invention 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.
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.
Formulations of the invention suitable for oral administration are prepared as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste.
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.
For infections of 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.
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.
The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention 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.
Emulgents and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the invention include Tween.RTM. 60, Span.RTM. 80, cetostearyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl mono-stearate and sodium lauryl sulfate.
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.
Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also 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.
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.
Formulations for rectal administration may be presented as a suppository with a suitable base comprising for example cocoa butter or a salicylate.
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 microns such as 0.5, 1, 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 influenza A or B infections as described below.
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.
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.
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.
It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above the formulations of this invention 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.
The invention further provides veterinary compositions comprising at least one active ingredient as above defined together with a veterinary carrier therefor.
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.
Compounds of the invention are used to provide controlled release pharmaceutical formulations containing as active ingredient one or more compounds of the invention ("controlled release formulations") in which the release of the active ingredient are controlled and regulated to allow less frequency dosing or to improve the pharmacokinetic or toxicity profile of a given active ingredient.
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) or against an active influenza infection, the method of delivery, and the pharmaceutical formulation, and will be determined by the clinician using conventional dose escalation studies. It can be expected to be from about 0.0001 to about 100 mg/kg body weight per day. Typically, from about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg body weight per day. More typically, from about 0.01 to about 5 mg/kg body weight per day. More typically, from about 0.05 to about 0.5 mg/kg body weight per day. For example, for inhalation the daily candidate dose for an adult human of approximately 70 kg body weight will range from 1 mg to 1000 mg, preferably between 5 mg and 500 mg, and may take the form of single or multiple doses.
Active ingredients of the invention are also used in combination with other active ingredients. Such combinations are selected based on the condition to be treated, cross-reactivities of ingredients and pharmaco-properties of the combination. For example, when treating viral infections of the respiratory system, in particular influenza infection, the compositions of the invention are combined with antivirals (such as amantidine, rimantadine and ribavirin), mucolytics, expectorants, bronchialdilators, antibiotics, antipyretics, or analgesics. Ordinarily, antibiotics, antipyretics, and analgesics are administered together with the compounds of this invention.
Metabolites of the Compounds of the Invention
Also falling within the scope of this invention are the in vivo metabolic products of the compounds described herein, to the extent such products are novel and unobvious over the prior art. 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 invention includes novel and unobvious compounds produced by a process comprising contacting a compound of this invention 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 invention, 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 invention even if they possess no neuraminidase inhibitory activity of their own.
Additional Uses for the Compounds of This Invention
The compounds of this invention, or the biologically active substances produced from these compounds by hydrolysis or metabolism in vivo, are used as immunogens or for conjugation to proteins, whereby they serve as components of immunogenic compositions to prepare antibodies capable of binding specifically to the protein, to the compounds or to their metabolic products which retain immunologically recognized epitopes (sites of antibody binding). The immunogenic compositions therefore are useful as intermediates in the preparation of antibodies for use in diagnostic, quality control, or the like, methods or in assays for the compounds or their novel metabolic products. The compounds are useful for raising antibodies against otherwise non-immunogenic polypeptides, in that the compounds serve as haptenic sites stimulating an immune response that cross-reacts with the unmodified conjugated protein.
The hydrolysis products of interest include products of the hydrolysis of the protected acidic and basic groups discussed above. As noted above, the acidic or basic amides comprising immunogenic polypeptides such as albumin or keyhole limpet hemocyanin generally are useful as immunogens. The metabolic products described above may retain a substantial degree of immunological cross reactivity with the compounds of the invention. Thus, the antibodies of this invention will be capable of binding to the unprotected compounds of the invention without binding to the protected compounds; alternatively the metabolic products, will be capable of binding to the protected compounds and/or the metabolitic products without binding to the protected compounds of the invention, or will be capable of binding specifically to any one or all three. The antibodies desirably will not substantially cross-react with naturally-occurring materials. Substantial cross-reactivity is reactivity under specific assay conditions for specific analytes sufficient to interfere with the assay results.
The immunogens of this invention contain the compound of this invention presenting the desired epitope in association with an immunogenic substance. Within the context of the invention such association means covalent bonding to form an immunogenic conjugate (when applicable) or a mixture of non-covalently bonded materials, or a combination of the above. Immunogenic substances include adjuvants such as Freund's adjuvant, immunogenic proteins such as viral, bacterial, yeast, plant and animal polypeptides, in particular keyhole limpet hemocyanin, serum albumin, bovine thyroglobulin or soybean trypsin inhibitor, and immunogenic polysaccharides. Typically, the compound having the structure of the desired epitope is covalently conjugated to an immunogenic polypeptide or polysaccharide by the use of a polyfunctional (ordinarily bifunctional) cross-linking agent. Methods for the manufacture of hapten immunogens are conventional per se, and any of the methods used heretofore for conjugating haptens to immunogenic polypeptides or the like are suitably employed here as well, taking into account the functional groups on the precursors or hydrolytic products which are available for cross-linking and the likelihood of producing antibodies specific to the epitope in question as opposed to the immunogenic substance.
Typically the polypeptide is conjugated to a site on the compound of the invention distant from the epitope to be recognized.
The conjugates are prepared in conventional fashion. For example, the cross-linking agents N-hydroxysuccinimide, succinic anhydride or alkN=C=Nalk are useful in preparing the conjugates of this invention. The conjugates comprise a compound of the invention attached by a bond or a linking group of 1-100, typically, 1-25, more typically 1-10 carbon atoms to the immunogenic substance. The conjugates are separated from starting materials and by products using chromatography or the like, and then are sterile filtered and vialed for storage.
The compounds of this invention are cross-linked for example through any one or more of the following groups: a hydroxyl group of U.sub.1 ; a carboxyl group of E.sub.1 ; a carbon atom of U.sub.1, E.sub.1, G.sub.1, or T.sub.1, in substitution of H; and an amine group of G.sub.1. Included within such compounds are amides of polypeptides where the polypeptide serves as an above-described R.sub.6c or R.sub.6b groups.
Animals are typically immunized against the immunogenic conjugates or derivatives and antisera or monoclonal antibodies prepared in conventional fashion.
The compounds of the invention are useful for maintaining the structural integrity of glycoproteins in recombinant cell culture, i.e., they are added to fermentations in which glycoproteins are being produced for recovery so as to inhibit neuraminidase-catalyzed cleavage of the desired glycoproteins. This is of particular value in the recombinant synthesis of proteins in heterologous host cells that may disadvantageously degrade the carbohydrate portion of the protein being synthesized.
The compounds of the invention are polyfunctional. As such they represent a unique class of monomers for the synthesis of polymers. By way of example and not limitation, the polymers prepared from the compounds of this invention include polyamides and polyesters.
The present compounds are used as monomers to provide access to polymers having unique pendent functionalities. The compounds of this invention are useful in homopolymers, or as comonomers with monomers which do not fall within the scope of the invention. Homopolymers of the compounds of this invention will have utility as cation exchange agents (polyesters or polyamides) in the preparation of molecular sieves (polyamides), textiles, fibers, films, formed articles and the like where the acid functionality E.sub.1 is esterified to a hydroxyl group in U.sub.1, for example, whereby the pendant basic group G.sub.1 is capable of binding acidic functionalities such as are found in polypeptides whose purification is desired. Polyamides are prepared by cross-linking E.sub.1 and G.sub.1, with U.sub.1 and the adjacent portion of the ring remaining free to function as a hydrophilic or hydrophobic affinity group, depending up the selection of the U.sub.1 group. The preparation of these polymers from the compounds of the invention is conventional per se.
The compounds of the invention are also useful as a unique class of polyfunctional surfactants. Particularly when U.sub.1 does not contain a hydrophilic substituent and is, for example, alkyl or alkoxy, the compounds have the properties of bi-functional surfactants. As such they have useful surfactant, surface coating, emulsion modifying, rheology modifying and surface wetting properties.
As polyfunctional compounds with defined geometry and carrying simultaneously polar and non-polar moieties, the compounds of the invention are useful as a unique class of phase transfer agents. By way of example and not limitation, the compounds of the invention are useful in phase transfer catalysis and liquid/liquid ion extraction (LIX).
The compounds of the invention optionally contain asymmetric carbon atoms in groups U.sub.1, E.sub.1, G.sub.1, and T.sub.1. As such, they are a unique class of chiral auxiliaries for use in the synthesis or resolution of other optically active materials. For example, a racemic mixture of carboxylic acids can be resolved into its component enantiomers by: 1) forming a mixture of diastereomeric esters or amides with a compound of the invention wherein U.sub.1 is an asymmetric hydroxyalkane or amino alkane group; 2) separating the diastereomers; and 3) hydrolyzing the ester structure. Racemic alcohols are separated by ester formation with an acid group of E.sub.1. Further, such a method can be used to resolve the compounds of the invention themselves if optically active acids or alcohols are used instead of racemic starting materials.
The compounds of this invention are useful as linkers or spacers in preparing affinity absorption matrices, immobilized enzymes for process control, or immunoassay reagents. The compounds herein contain a multiplicity of functional groups that are suitable as sites for cross-linking desired substances. For example, it is conventional to link affinity reagents such as hormones, peptides, antibodies, drugs, and the like to insoluble substrates. These insolublized reagents are employed in known fashion to absorb binding partners for the affinity reagents from manufactured preparations, diagnostic samples and other impure mixtures. Similarly, immobilized enzymes are used to perform catalytic conversions with facile recovery of enzyme. Bifunctional compounds are commonly used to link analytes to detectable groups in preparing diagnostic reagents.
Many functional groups in the compounds of this invention are suitable for use in cross-linking. For example, the carboxylic or phosphonic acid of group E.sub.1 is used to form esters with alcohols or amides with amines of the reagent to be cross-linked. The G.sub.1 sites substituted with OH, NHR.sub.1, SH, azido (which is reduced to amino if desired before cross-linking), CN, NO.sub.2, amino, guanidino, halo and the like are suitable sites. Suitable protection of reactive groups will be used where necessary while assembling the cross-linked reagent to prevent polymerization of the bifunctional compound of this invention. In general, the compounds here are used by linking them through carboxylic or phosphonic acid to the hydroxyl or amino groups of the first linked partner, then covalently bonded to the other binding partner through a T.sub.1 or G.sub.1 group. For example a first binding partner such as a steroid hormone is esterified to the carboxylic acid of a compound of this invention and then this conjugate is cross-linked through a G.sub.1 hydroxyl to cyanogen bromide activated Sepaharose, whereby immobilized steroid is obtained. Other chemistries for conjugation are well known. See for example Maggio, "Enzyme-Immunoassay" (CRC, 1988, pp 71-135) and references cited therein.
As noted above, the therapeutically useful compounds of this invention in which the W.sub.1, or G.sub.1 carboxyl, hydroxyl or amino groups are protected are useful as oral or sustained release forms. In these uses the protecting group is removed in vivo, e.g., hydrolyzed or oxidized, so as to yield the free carboxyl, amino or hydroxyl. Suitable esters or amides for this utility are selected based on the substrate specificity of esterases and/or carboxypeptidases expected to be found within cells where precursor hydrolysis is desired. To the extent that the specificity of these enzymes is unknown, one will screen a plurality of the compounds of this invention until the desired substrate specificity is found. This will be apparent from the appearance of free compound or of antiviral activity. One generally selects amides or esters of the invention compound that are (i) not hydrolyzed or hydrolyzed comparatively slowly in the upper gut, (ii) gut and cell permeable and (iii) hydrolyzed in the cell cytoplasm and/or systemic circulation. Screening assays preferably use cells from particular tissues that are susceptible to influenza infection, e.g. the mucous membranes of the bronchopulmonary tract. Assays known in the art are suitable for determining in vivo bioavailability including intestinal lumen stability, cell permeation, liver homogenate stability and plasma stability assays. However, even if the ester, amide or other protected derivatives are not converted in vivo to the free carboxyl, amino or hydroxyl groups, they remain useful as chemical intermediates.
Exemplary Methods of Making the Compounds of the Invention
The invention also relates to methods of making the compositions of the invention. 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 Shuyen 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).
A number of exemplary methods for the preparation of the compositions of the invention are provided below. These methods are intended to illustrate the nature of such preparations are not intended to limit the scope of applicable methods.
Generally, the reaction conditions such as temperature, reaction time, solvents, workup procedures, and the like, will be those common in the art for the particular reaction to be performed. The incorporated 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. Workup typically consists of quenching any unreacted reagents followed by partition between a water/organic layer system (extraction) and separating the layer containing the product.
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.
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).
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.

The aziridine 5 is opened with .alpha.-cyano acetic acid t-butyl ester to give 13. Aziridine openings of this type are found in "Tetrahedron Lett.", 23:5021 (1982). Selective hydrolysis of the t-butyl ester moiety under acidic conditions followed by decarboxylation gives nitrile 14.
Reduction of 14 to the amino ethyl derivative 15 is accomplished in the same fashion as the conversion of 9 to 11. The amine 15 is then converted into the guanidino derivative 16 with N,N'-bis-Boc-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine according to the method found in "Tetrahedron Lett.", 36:299 (1995).
The nitrile 14 is converted to the corresponding amidine 17 using the same sequence described above for the conversion of 9 to 10. ##STR41## Scheme 4
The epoxy alcohol 1 is protected (PG=protecting group), for example with MOMCl. Typical conditions are found in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" 2nd ed., T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., 1991.
The epoxide 19 is opened with NaN.sub.3 /NH.sub.4 Cl to the amino alcohol 20 according to the procedure of Sharpless and co-workers, "J. Org. Chem.", 50:1557 (1985).
Reduction of 20 to the N-acetyl aziridine 21 is accomplished in a three step sequence: 1) MsCl/triethyl amine; 2) H.sub.2 /Pd; 3) AcCl/pyridine. Such transformations can be found in "Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl.", 33:599 (1994).
Aziridine 21 is converted to the azido amide 22 by opening with NaN.sub.3 /NH.sub.4 Cl in DMF at 65.degree. C. as described in "J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans I", 801 (1976).
Removal of the MOM protecting group of 22 is accomplished using the methods described in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" 2nd ed., T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., 1991. The resulting alcohol is converted directly to aziridine 24 with TsCl in pyridine. Such transformations are found in "Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl.", 33:599 (1994).
Aziridine 24 is then reacted with ROH, RNH.sub.2 or RSH to give the corresponding ring opened derivatives 25, 26 and 27, respectively. Aziridine openings of this type are found in "Tetrahedron Lett.", 23:5021 (1982) and "Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl.", 33:599 (1994).

M.; et al.; "Tetrahedron", 47(26):4571 (1991). Mesylation with MsCl in TEA/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 will give 29 which is reacted with NaN.sub.3 in DMF to give 30. Reaction of 30 with TFA in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 will give 31 which is mesylated with MsCl in TEA/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 to give 32. Reaction with triphenylphosphine in water will give 33 which is converted to 35 by sequential application of: 1) CH.sub.3 C(O)Cl in pyridine, 2) NaN.sub.3 in DMF, and 3) NaH in THF. Alkylation of 35 with a wide variety of nucleophiles common in the art will provide a number of compounds such as 36. Methods for elaboration of the compounds such as 36 to other embodiments of the invention will be similar to those described above. ##STR42## Scheme 6
Another class of compounds of the invention are prepared by the method of Scheme 6. Protected alcohol 22 (PG=methoxymethyl ether) is deprotected under standard conditions described in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" 2nd ed., T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., 1991. Alcohol 51 is converted to acetate 52 with acetic anhydride and pyridine under standard conditions.

General aspects of these exemplary methods are described below and in the Example. Each of the products of the following processes is optionally separated, isolated, and/or purified prior to its use in subsequent processes.
The terms "treated", "treating", "treatment", and the like, mean contacting, 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.
"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 are 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.
Process A, Scheme 36
Shikimic acid is used to prepare compound 270 by the following process.
The cis-4,5-diol function of shikimic acid is differentiated from the carboxylic acid at carbon 1 by selective protection of these two functionalities. Typically the cis-4,5-diol function is protected as a cyclic ketal and the carboxylic acid function is protected as an ester.
R.sub.50 is an acid labile 1,2-diol protecting group such as those described in the above incorporated work of Greene, typically a cyclic ketal or acetal, more typically, a ketal of cyclohexanone or acetone. R.sub.51 is an acid stable carboxylic acid protecting group such as those described in the above incorporated work of Greene, typically a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms such as those shown as groups 2-7, 9-10, 15, or 100-660 of Table 2, more typically a linear or branched alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms such as those shown as groups 2-5, 9, or 100-358 of Table 2, still more typically a linear or branched alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as those shown as groups 2-5, 9, or 100-141 of Table 2, more typically yet, R51 is methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, i-butyl, or t-butyl.
Shikimic acid is reacted to protect the carboxylic acid with group R.sub.51 and the cis-4,5-diol with group R.sub.50. Typically shikimic acid is treated with an alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, or i-propanol, and an acid catalyst, such as a mineral acid or a sulfonic acid such as methane, benzene or toluene sulfonic acid, followed by a dialkyl ketal or acetal of a ketone or aldehyde, such as 2,2-dimethoxy-propane, or 1,1-dimethoxy-cyclohexane, in the presence of the corresponding ketone or aldehyde, such as acetone or cyclohexanone. Optionally, the product of the alcohol and acid catalyst treatment is separated, isolated and/or purified prior to treatment with dialkyl ketal or acetal. Alternatively shikimic acid is treated with CH.sub.2 N.sub.2.
Typically, the process comprises treating shikimic acid with an alkanol and a sulfonic acid followed by treating with a geminal-dialkoxyalkane or geminal-dialkoxycycloalkane and an alkanone or cycloalkanone to form compound 270. More typically, the process comprises treating shikimic acid with an alkanol and a sulfonic acid; evaporating excess alkanol to form a residue; treating the residue with a geminal-dialkoxyalkane or geminal-dialkoxycycloalkane and an alkanone or cycloalkanone to form compound 270. Still more typically, the process comprises treating shikimic acid with methanol and para-toluenesulfonic acid; evaporating excess methanol to form a residue; treating the residue with 2,2-dimethoxypropane and acetone to form compound 270.
An exemplary embodiment of this process is given as Example 55 below.
Process B, Scheme 36
Compound 270 is used to prepare compound 271 by the following process.
The hydroxy group at position 3 is activated, typically, activated toward displacement reactions, more typically, activated toward epoxide ring forming displacement with an alcohol at position 4.
R.sub.52 is an alcohol activating group, typically, an activating group toward displacement reactions, more typically, an activating group toward epoxide ring forming displacement with an alcohol at position 4. Such groups include those typical in the art such as sulfonic acid esters, more typically, methane, benzene or toluene sulfonic acid esters. In one embodiment, R.sub.52, taken together with O (i.e. --OR.sub.52), is a leaving group such as those common in the art.
Typically the process comprises treating compound 270 with an acid halide to form compound 271. More typically, the process comprises treating compound 270 with a sulfonic acid halide in a suitable solvent to form compound 271. Still more typically, the process comprises treating compound 270 with a sulfonic acid halide in a suitable solvent such as an amine, optionally, in the presence of a cosolvent, such as a haloalkane, to form compound 271. More typically yet, the process comprises treating compound 270 with methane sulfonyl chloride in triethylamine/dichloromethane to form compound 271.
An exemplary embodiment of this process is given as Example 56 below.
Process C, Scheme 36
Compound 271 is used to prepare compound 272 by the following process.

Modification of the exemplary starting materials to form different E.sub.1 groups has been described in detail and will not be elaborated here. See Fleet, G. W. J. et al.; "J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. I", 905-908 (1984), Fleet, G. W. J. et al.; "J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun.", 849-850 (1983), Yee, Ying K. et al.; "J. Med. Chem.", 33:2437-2451 (1990); Olson, R.

The E.sub.1 sulfur analogs of the carboxylic acid compounds of the invention are prepared by any of the standard techniques. By way of example and not limitation, the carboxylic acids are reduced to the alcohols by standard methods. The alcohols are converted to halides or sulfonic acid esters by standard methods and the resulting compounds are reacted with NaSH to produce the sulfide product. Such reactions are described in Patai, "The Chemistry of the Thiol Group" (John Wiley, New York, 1974), pt. 2, and in particular pages 721-735.
Modifications of each of the above schemes leads to various analogs of the specific exemplary materials produced above. The above cited citations describing suitable methods of organic synthesis are applicable to such modifications.
In each of the above 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, size exclusion or ion exchange chromatography, high, medium, or low pressure liquid chromatography, small scale and preparative thin or thick layer chromatography, as well as techniques of small scale thin layer and flash chromatography.
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.
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.
Each of the cited works herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Specifically cited sections or pages of the above cited works are incorporated by reference with specificity. The invention has been described in detail sufficient to allow one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the subject matter of the following claims. It is apparent that certain modifications of the methods and compositions of the following claims can be made within the scope and spirit of the invention.

EXAMPLES
General
The following Examples refer to the Schemes.
Example 1
Epoxy alcohol 1: Prepared from shikimic acid by the procedure of McGowan and Berchtold, "J. Org. Chem.", 46:2381 (1981).
Example 2
Epoxy allyl ether 2: To a solution of epoxy alcohol 1 (2.37 g, 14.08 mmol) in dry benzene (50 mL) was added thallium(I)ethoxide (1.01 mL) in one portion. After 2 hr the reaction was concentrated in vacuo and the residue dissolved in acetonitrile. Allyl iodide (3.0 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred in the dark for 16 h. The solids were filtered thru a celite pad and washed with chloroform. Concentration in vacuo followed by flash chromatography (40% EtOAc in hexane) gave 1.24 g (42%) of 2 as a pale viscous oil.
.sup.1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl.sub.3): .delta.6.75 (1H, m); 6.10-5.90 (1H, m, --CH=, allyl); 5.40-5.15 (2H, m, .dbd.CH.sub.2, allyl); 4.47-4.43 (1H, m); 4.30-4.15 (2H, m, --CH.sub.2 --, allyl); 3.73 (3H, s); 3.55-3.50 (1H, m); 3.45-3.40 (1H, m); 3.15-3.00 (1H, dm, J=19.5 Hz), 2.50-2.35 (1H, dm, J=2.7, 19.5 Hz).
Example 3
Azido alcohol 3: Epoxide 2 (1.17 g, 5.57 mmol), sodium azide (1.82 g) and ammonium chloride (658 mg) were refluxed in MeOH/H.sub.2 O (8:1) (35 mL) for 18 h. The reaction was then concentrated in vacuo and the residue partitioned between ethyl ether and water. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried. Concentration in vacuo gave 3 as a pale oil 1.3 g (92%) which was used without further purification.
.sup.1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl.sub.3): .delta.6.95-6.85 (1H, m); 6.00-5.85 (1H, m, --CH.dbd., allyl); 5.35-5.25 (2H, m, .dbd.CH.sub.2, allyl); 4.25-4.10 (2H, m, --CH.sub.2 --, allyl); 4.12 (1H, bt, J=4.2 Hz); 3.95-3.75 (2H, m); 3.77 (3H, s); 2.85 (1H, dd, J=5.3, 18.3 Hz); 2.71 (1H, bs); 2.26 (1H, dd, J=7.2, 18.3 Hz).
Example 4
Aziridine 4: To a solution of alcohol 3 (637 mg, 2.52 mmol) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (20 mL) cooled to 0.degree. C. was added DMAP (few crystals) and triethyl amine (442 .mu.L). MsCl (287 .mu.L) was then added and the reaction stirred for 2 h at 0.degree. C. Volatiles were removed and the residue partitioned between ethyl ether and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated bicarbonate, brine and then dried. Concentration in vacuo gave 881 mg of crude mesylate.
.sup.1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl.sub.3): .delta.6.87-6.84 (1H, s); 6.00-5.85 (1H, m, --CH.dbd., allyl); 5.40-5.25 (2H, m, .dbd.CH.sub.2, allyl); 4.72 (1H, dd, J=3.9, 8.5 Hz); 4.32 (1H, bt, J=3.9 Hz); 4.30-4.15 (2H, m, --CH.sub.2 --, allyl); 3.77 (3H, s); 3.14 (3H, s); 2.95 (1H, dd, J=5.7, 18.6 Hz); 2.38 (1H, dd, J=6.7, 18.6 Hz).
The crude mesylate was dissolved in dry THF (20 mL) and treated with Ph.sub.3 P (727 mg). After stirring for 3 h at room temperature, water (15 mL) and solid NaHCO.sub.3 (1.35 g) was added and the mixture stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was then concentrated in vacuo and the residue partitioned between EtOAc, saturated bicarbonate and brine. The organic layer was separated and dried over MgSO.sub.4. Concentration in vacuo and flash chromatography of the residue gave the aziridine 4 170 mg (33%) as a pale yellow oil.
