Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major human pathogen, infecting an estimated 170 million persons worldwide—roughly five times the number infected by human immunodeficiency virus type 1. A substantial fraction of these HCV infected individuals develop serious progressive liver disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (Lauer, G. M.; Walker, B. D. N. Engl J. Med. 2001, 345, 41-52).
HCV is a positive-stranded RNA virus. Based on a comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence and the extensive similarity in the 5′-untranslated region, HCV has been classified as a separate genus in the Flaviviridae family. All members of the Flaviviridae family have enveloped virions that contain a positive stranded RNA genome encoding all known virus-specific proteins via translation of a single, uninterrupted, open reading frame.
Considerable heterogeneity is found within the nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequence throughout the HCV genome. At least six major genotypes have been characterized, and more than 50 subtypes have been described. The major genotypes of HCV differ in their distribution worldwide, and the clinical significance of the genetic heterogeneity of HCV remains elusive despite numerous studies of the possible effect of genotypes on pathogenesis and therapy.
The single strand HCV RNA genome is approximately 9500 nucleotides in length and has a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a single large polyprotein of about 3000 amino acids. In infected cells, this polyprotein is cleaved at multiple sites by cellular and viral proteases to produce the structural and non-structural (NS) proteins. In the case of HCV, the generation of mature non-structural proteins (NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B) is effected by two viral proteases. The first one is believed to be a metalloprotease and cleaves at the NS2-NS3 junction; the second one is a serine protease contained within the N-terminal region of NS3 (also referred to as NS3 protease) and mediates all the subsequent cleavages downstream of NS3, both in cis, at the NS3-NS4A cleavage site, and in trans, for the remaining NS4A-NS4B, NS4B-NS5A, NS5A-NS5B sites. The NS4A protein appears to serve multiple functions, acting as a cofactor for the NS3 protease and possibly assisting in the membrane localization of NS3 and other viral replicase components. The complex formation of the NS3 protein with NS4A seems necessary to the processing events, enhancing the proteolytic efficiency at all of the sites. The NS3 protein also exhibits nucleoside triphosphatase and RNA helicase activities. NS5B (also referred to as HCV polymerase) is a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is involved in the replication of HCV. The HCV NS5B protein is described in “Structural Analysis of the Hepatitis C Virus RNA Polymerase in Complex with Ribonucleotides (Bressanelli; S. et al., Journal of Virology 2002, 3482-3492; and Defrancesco and Rice, Clinics in Liver Disease 2003, 7, 211-242.
Currently, the most effective HCV therapy employs a combination of alpha-interferon and ribavirin, leading to sustained efficacy in 40% of patients (Poynard, T. et al. Lancet 1998, 352, 1426-1432). Recent clinical results demonstrate that pegylated alpha-interferon is superior to unmodified alpha-interferon as monotherapy (Zeuzem, S. et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2000, 343, 1666-1672). However, even with experimental therapeutic regimens involving combinations of pegylated alpha-interferon and ribavirin, a substantial fraction of patients do not have a sustained reduction in viral load. Thus, there is a clear and important need to develop effective therapeutics for treatment of HCV infection.

The invention includes all stereoisomeric forms, including enantiomers and diastereomers as well as mixtures of stereoisomers such as racemates. Some stereoisomers can be made using methods known in the art.

Methyl 2-bromo-3-cyclohexyl-1H-indole-6-carboxylate can be hydrolyzed to 2-bromo-3-cyclohexyl-1H-indole-6-carboxylic acid (See Scheme 1). This compound can be condensed with a variety of sulfonyl ureas, using for example, 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole in combination with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in anhydrous THF. The resultant acyl sulfamides can be subjected to known coupling reactions with a diversity of 2-formyl boronic acids or esters, using for example, Suzuki coupling conditions, to provide cyclic hemiaminal intermediates of the type depicted. These compounds can be converted to indolobenzazepines derivatives by treatment with methyl 2-(dimethoxyphosphoryl)acrylate under the influence of cesium carbonate in DMF via consecutive Michael and Horner Emmons reactions.
Related fused cyclopropyl ester derivatives can be generated by methods known in the art, including treatment of the indolobenzazepine esters with trimethyl sulfoxonium iodide under strongly basic conditions in DMSO. The residual aliphatic ester moiety in the resultant fused cyclopropanes can be hydrolyzed and the product acids can be condensed with a variety of alkyl-bridged diamines. For example, O-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate and diisopropyl ethyl amine in DMSO can give alkyl bridged diamine carboxamides.
N-protected diamines, for example where W is a protected Diamine, can also be coupled to the intermediate indolobenzazepine acids and the resultant diamine carboxamides can be deprotected using methods known in the art and derivatized using a variety of synthetic protocols, some illustrative examples of which are shown below (See Scheme 2).
An intermediate useful for the synthesis of some compounds of the invention involves the preparation of the tert-butyl ester indolobenzazepine shown in Scheme 3.
This methodology involves base catalyzed hydrolysis of the indole methyl ester shown, followed by its reaction with either thionyl chloride and potassium tertiary butoxide, or alkylation with silver carbonate and tertiary butyl bromides. The resultant compound can be transformed using chemistry analogous to that outlined previously to provide the mixed ester indolobenzazepines shown above.
These intermediates are useful in an alternative procedure that can be employed for the preparation of acylsulfamide and acylsulfonamide alkyl-bridged diamines, as shown in Scheme 4. Cyclopropanation of an intermediate t-butyl ester indolobenzazepine and subsequent cleavage of the t-butyl ester group can generate the acid which can be coupled to a diversity of sulfonamides and sulfonylureas. Subsequent hydrolysis affords the related aliphatic acid, which can be coupled with a diversity of alkyl-bridged diamines. For example, O-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N, N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate and diisopropyl ethyl amine in DMSO can give the alkyl bridged diamine carboxamides.
The reactions depicted in Scheme 4 can be carried out in alternative order to provide the same products. Schemes 4a and 4b show two alternatives. Additionally, a diamine with two secondary amines could be employed at any of the depicted points in the schemes where coupling to the acid on the seven membered ring is depicted and the free NH functionalized prior to completing the remaining steps in the scheme.
Some examples exist as stereoisomeric mixtures. The invention encompasses all stereoisomers of the compounds. Methods of fractionating stereoisomeric mixtures are well known in the art, and include but are not limited to; preparative chiral supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and chiral high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). An example using this approach is shown in scheme 5.
An additional method to achieve such separations involves the preparation of mixtures of diastereomers which can be separated using a variety of methods known in the art. One example of this approach is shown below (Scheme 6).
Some diastereomeric amides can be separated using reverse phase HPLC. After hydroysis, the resultant optically active acids can be coupled with bridged diamines derivatives (Scheme 7). For example, O-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate and diisopropyl ethyl amine in DMSO can be used to give the alkyl bridged carboxamides. Other standard acid amine coupling methods can also be used to give optically active carboxamides.
The compounds demonstrated activity against HCV NS5B as determined in the following HCV RdRp assays.
HCV NS5B RdRp cloning, expression, and purification. The cDNA encoding the NS5B protein of HCV, genotype 1b, was cloned into the pET21a expression vector. The protein was expressed with an 18 amino acid C-terminal truncation to enhance the solubility. The E. coli competent cell line BL21(DE3) was used for expression of the protein. Cultures were grown at 37° C. for ˜4 hours until the cultures reached an optical density of 2.0 at 600 nm. The cultures were cooled to 20° C. and induced with 1 mM IPTG. Fresh ampicillin was added to a final concentration of 50 μg/ml and the cells were grown overnight at 20° C.
Cell pellets (3 L) were lysed for purification to yield 15-24 mgs of purified NS5B. The lysis buffer consisted of 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 500 mM NaCl, 0.5% triton X-100, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 20% glycerol, 0.5 mg/ml lysozyme, 10 mM MgCl2, 15 ug/ml deoxyribonuclease I, and Complete TM protease inhibitor tablets (Roche). After addition of the lysis buffer, frozen cell pellets were resuspended using a tissue homogenizer. To reduce the viscosity of the sample, aliquots of the lysate were sonicated on ice using a microtip attached to a Branson sonicator. The sonicated lysate was centrifuged at 100,000×g for 1 hr at 4° C. and filtered through a 0.2 μm filter unit (Corning).
The protein was purified using two sequential chromatography steps: Heparin sepharose CL-6B and polyU sepharose 4B (Pharmacia). The chromatography buffers were identical to the lysis buffer but contained no lysozyme, deoxyribonuclease I, MgCl2 or protease inhibitor and the NaCl concentration of the buffer was adjusted according to the requirements for charging the protein onto the column. Each column was eluted with a NaCl gradient which varied in length from 5-50 column volumes depending on the column type. After the final chromatography step, the resulting purity of the enzyme is >90% based on SDS-PAGE analysis. The enzyme was aliquoted and stored at −80° C.
Standard HCV NS5B RdRp enzyme assay. HCV RdRp genotype 1b assays were run in a final volume of 60 μl in 96 well plates (Corning 3600). The assay buffer is composed of 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 2.5 mM KCl, 2.5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 1.6 U RNAse inhibitor (Promega N2515), 0.01 mg/ml BSA (Sigma B6917), and 2% glycerol. All compounds were serially diluted (3-fold) in DMSO and diluted further in water such that the final concentration of DMSO in the assay was 2%. HCV RdRp genotype 1b enzyme was used at a final concentration of 28 nM. A polyA template was used at 6 nM, and a biotinylated oligo-dT12 primer was used at 180 nM final concentration. Template was obtained commercially (Amersham 27-4110). Biotinylated primer was prepared by Sigma Genosys. 3H-UTP was used at 0.6 μCi (0.29 μM total UTP). Reactions were initiated by the addition of enzyme, incubated at 30 ° C. for 60 min, and stopped by adding 25 μl of 50 mM EDTA containing SPA beads (4 μg/μl, Amersham RPNQ 0007). Plates were read on a Packard Top Count NXT after >1 hr incubation at room temperature.
Modified HCV NS5B RdRp enzyme assay. A modified enzyme assay was performed essentially as described for the standard enzyme assay except for the following: The biotinylated oligo dT12 primer was precaptured on streptavidin-coated SPA beads by mixing primer and beads in assay buffer and incubating at room temperature for one hour. Unbound primer was removed after centrifugation. The primer-bound beads were resuspended in 20 mM Hepes buffer, pH 7.5 and used in the assay at final concentrations of 20 nM primer and 0.67 μg/μl beads. Order of addition in the assay: enzyme (1.75 nM) was added to diluted compound followed by the addition of a mixture of template (0.36 nM), 3H-UTP (0.6 μCi, 0.29 μM), and primer-bound beads, to initiate the reaction; concentrations given are final. Reactions were allowed to proceed for 4 hours at 30° C.
IC50 values for compounds were determined using seven different [I]. IC50 values were calculated from the inhibition using the formula y=A+((B−A)/(1+((C/x)^D))).
FRET Assay Preparation. The HCV FRET screening assay was performed in 96-well cell culture plates. The FRET peptide (Anaspec, Inc.) (Taliani et al., Anal. Biochem. 1996, 240, 60-67) contains a fluorescence donor, EDANS, near one end of the peptide and an acceptor, DABCYL, near the other end. The fluorescence of the peptide is quenched by intermolecular resonance energy transfer (RET) between the donor and the acceptor, but as the NS3 protease cleaves the peptide the products are released from RET quenching and the fluorescence of the donor becomes apparent. The assay reagent was made as follows: 5× cell Luciferase cell culture lysis reagent from Promega (#E153A) diluted to 1× with dH2O, NaCl added to 150 mM final, the FRET peptide diluted to 20 μM final from a 2 mM stock.
To prepare plates, HCV replicon cells, with or without a Renilla luciferase reporter gene, were trypsinized and plated in a 96-well plate with titrated test compounds added in columns 3 through 12; columns 1 and 2 contained a control compound (HCV control inhibitor), and the bottom row contained cells with DMSO only. The plates were then placed in a CO2 incubator at 37° C.
Assays. Subsequent to addition of the test compounds described above (FRET Assay Preparation), at various times the plate was removed and Alamar blue solution (Trek Diagnostics, #00-100) was added to measure cellular toxicity. After reading in a Cytoflour 4000 instrument (PE Biosystems), plates were rinsed with PBS and then used for FRET assay by the addition of 30 ul of the FRET peptide assay reagent described above (FRET Assay Preparation) per well. The plate was then placed into the Cytoflour 4000 instrument which had been set to 340 excite/490 emission, automatic mode for up to 20 cycles and the plate read in a kinetic mode. Typically, the signal to noise using an endpoint analysis after the reads was at least three-fold. Alternatively, after Alamar blue reading, plates were rinsed with PBS, then used for luciferase assay using the Promega Dual-Glo Luciferase Assay System or the Promega EnduRen Live Cell Substrate assay.
Compound analysis was performed by quantification of the relative HCV replicon inhibition and the relative cytotoxicity values. To calculate cytoxicity values, the average Alamar Blue fluorescence signals from the control wells were set as 100% non-toxic. The individual signals in each of the compound test wells were then divided by the average control signal and multiplied by 100% to determine percent cytotoxicity. To calculate the HCV replicon inhibition values, an average background value was obtained from the two wells containing the highest amount of HCV control inhibitor at the end of the assay period. These numbers were similar to those obtained from naïve Huh-7 cells. The background numbers were then subtracted from the average signal obtained from the control wells and this number was used as 100% activity. The individual signals in each of the compound test wells were then divided by the averaged control values after background subtraction and multiplied by 100% to determine percent activity. EC50 values were calculated as the concentration which caused a 50% reduction in FRET or luciferase activity. The two numbers generated for the compound plate, percent cytoxicity and percent activity, were used to determine compounds of interest for further analysis.

General procedure for the transformation of esters of formula I to corresponding amides. In a 100 mL round-bottomed flask was added 1 N sodium hydroxide (3 eq., 1.583 ml, 1.583 mmol) and bridged ester 1 (1 eq., 0.528 mmol) in methanol (4.00 ml) and THF (4.00 ml) to give a yellow solution. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. 3 equivalents of 1 N HCl was then added, the product diluted with ethyl acetate then extracted, washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. Filtration and subsequent evaporation of volatiles gave the carboxylic acids 2 in near quantitative yield. To a 0.10 mmol solution of carboxylic acid 2 in 1 mL of anhydrous N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) in a 2 dram vial equipped with a Teflon™ lined screw cap was added 0.3 mmol (3 eq.) of 2-(1H-Benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3,-Tetramethyluronium Tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) in 1.0 mL of anhydrous DMF followed by the addition of 0.2 mmol (2 eq.) of amine 3 in 1.0 mL of anhydrous DMF and 0.4 mmol of neat N,N-diisopropylethylamine. The reaction was shaken on a VWR Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer overnight at room temperature. The reaction volumes were then reduced in a Savant Speedvac and the crude products were taken up in 1.2 mL of methanol and purified using a Shimadzu preparative HPLC employing methanol/water and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid buffer with a Phenomenex Luna, C18, 30 mm×100 mm, 10 μm column at a gradient of 40-100% B and a flow rate of 40 mL/min. over 10 minutes with a 5-10 minute hold, to give carboxamides 4 as yellow amorphous solids (65%-70% yield). Post-purification LC/MS data was obtained on a Shimadzu analytical LC/Micromass Platform LC (ESI+) at 220 nm using the following set of conditions: Column I (Phenomenex 10 μm C18, 4.6×30 mm), Solvent system I (gradient of 0-100% B where B=90% HPLC grade methanol/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid/10% HPLC grade water), in 2 minutes with a 1 minute hold at a flow rate of 5 mL/minute.

General procedure for reductive alkylation. To a 2 dram vial was added 0.05 mmol of piperidine carboxamide in 600 μL of methanol and 60 μL of water, along with 1.0 eq. of 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole, 2.0 eq. of aqueous formaldehyde and 2.0 equivalents of neat triethylamine. The vials were capped and shaken over night at room temperature on an orbital shaker. The reaction mixtures were then diluted with 2 mL of methanol and dry sodium borohydride was slowly added (2 eq). When effervescence ceased, the vials were recapped and heated at 65° C. with shaking in a dry block for ˜90 min.
