Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to a novel class of pyrrolopyrazinones which are useful as serine protease inhibitors, and more particularly as Hepatitis C virus NS3 protease inhibitors. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and methods of using the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major cause of transfusion and community-acquired non-A, non-B hepatitis worldwide. Approximately 2% of the world's population are infected with the virus. In the Unites States, hepatitis C represents approximately 20% of cases of acute hepatitis. Unfortunately, self-limited hepatitis is not the most common course of acute HCV infection. In the majority of patients, symptoms of acute hepatitis resolve, but alanine aminotransferase (a liver enzyme diagnostic for liver damage) levels often remain elevated and HCV RNA persists. Indeed, a propensity to chroninicity is the most distinguishing characteristic of hepatitis C, occurring in at least 85% of patients with acute HCV infection. The factors that lead to chronicity in hepatitis C are not well defined. Chronic HCV infection is associated with increased incidence of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. No vaccines are available for this virus, and current treatment is restricted to the use of alpha interferon, which is effective in only 15-20% of patients. Recent clinical studies have shown that combination therapy of alpha interferon and ribavirin leads to sustained efficacy in 40% of patients (Poynard, T. et al. Lancet 1998, 352, 1426-1432.). However, a majority of patients still either fail to respond or relapse after completion of therapy. Thus, there is a clear need to develop more effective therapeutics for treatment of HCV-associated hepatitis.

HCV is a positive-stranded RNA virus. Based on comparison of 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, which also includes flaviviruses such as yellow fever virus and animal pestiviruses like bovine viral diarrhea virus and swine fever virus. 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 RNA genome is about 9.6 Kb in length, and encodes a single polypeptide of about 3000 amino acids. The 5′ untranslated region contains an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), which directs cellular ribosomes to the correct AUG for initiation of translation. As was determined by transient expression of cloned HCV cDNAs, the precursor protein is cotranslationally and posttranslationally processed into at least 10 viral structural and nonstructural (NS) proteins by the action of a host signal peptidase and by two distinct viral proteinase activities. The translated product contains the following proteins: core-E1-E2-p7-NS2-NS3-NS4A-NS4B-NS5A-NS5B.

The N-terminal portion of NS3 functions as a proteolytic enzyme that is responsible for the cleavage of sites liberating the nonstructural proteins NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B. NS3 has further been shown to be a serine protease. Although the functions of the NS proteins are not completely defined, it is known that NS4A is a protease cofactor and NS5B is an RNA polymerase involved in viral replication. Thus agents that inhibit NS3 proteolytic processing of the viral polyprotein are expected to have antiviral activity.

There are several patents which disclose HCV NS3 protease inhibitors. WO98/17679 describes peptide and peptidomimetic inhibitors with the following formula: U—E 8 —E 7 -E 6 -E 5 -E 4 -NH—CH(CH 2 G 1 -W1, where W is one of a variety of electrophilic groups, including boronic acid or ester. E4 represents either an amino acid or one of a series of peptidomimetic groups, the sythesis of which are not exemplified. HCV protease inhibitors described in the present case are not covered.

Based on the large number of persons currently infected with HCV and the limited treatments available, it is desirable to discover new inhibitors of HCV NS3 protease.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide novel HCV NS3 protease inhibitors.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel method of treating HCV infection which comprises administering to a host in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the compounds of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof.

It is another object of the present invention to provide pharmaceutical compositions with HCV NS3 protease inhibiting activity comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the compounds of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of inhibiting HCV present in a body fluid sample which comprises treating the body fluid sample with an effective amount of a compound of the present invention. It is another object of the present invention to provide a kit or container containing at least one of the compounds of the present invention in an amount effective for use as a standard or reagent in a test or assay for determining the ability of a potential pharmaceutical to inhibit HCV NS3 protease, HCV growth, or both.

It is another object of the present invention to provide novel compounds for use in therapy.

It is another object of the present invention to provide the use of novel compounds for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of HCV.

These and other objects, which will become apparent during the following detailed description, have been achieved by the inventors' discovery that compounds of Formula (I):

wherein W, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 8 , R 13 , A 1 , A 2 , and A 3 are defined below, stereoisomeric forms, mixtures of stereoisomeric forms, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms thereof, are effective HCV NS3 protease inhibitors.

DEFINITIONS

The compounds herein described have asymmetric centers. Compounds of the present invention containing an asymmetrically substituted atom may be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. It is well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms, such as by resolution of racemic forms or by synthesis from optically active starting materials. Geometric isomers of double bonds such as olefins and C═N double bonds can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms and all geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated. All processes used to prepare compounds of the present invention and intermediates made therein are considered to be part of the present invention.

The term “substituted,” as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valency is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound. When a substituent is keto (i.e., ═O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Keto substituents are not present on aromatic moieties. When a ring system (e.g., carbocyclic or heterocyclic) is said to be substituted with a carbonyl group or a double bond, it is intended that the carbonyl group or double bond be part (i.e., within) of the ring.

The present invention is intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium. Isotopes of carbon include C-13 and C-14.

When any variable (e.g., R 1a ) occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-3 R 1a , then said group may optionally be substituted with up to three R 1a groups and R 1a at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R 1a . Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating the atom via which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of a given formula, then such substituent may be bonded via any atom in such substituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

As used herein, “alkyl” or “alkylene” is intended to include both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having the specified number of carbon atoms.

“Alkoxy” or “alkyloxy” represents an alkyl group as defined above with the indicated number of carbon atoms attached through an oxygen bridge. For example, “C 1 -C 6 alkoxy” (or alkyloxy), is intended to include C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , C 5 , and C 6 alkoxy groups. Examples of alkoxy include, but are not limited to, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, i-propoxy, n-butoxy, s-butoxy, t-butoxy, n-pentoxy, and s-pentoxy. Similarly, “alkylthio” or “thioalkoxy” represents an alkyl group as defined above with the indicated number of carbon atoms attached through a sulphur bridge; for example methyl-S—, ethyl-S—, and the like.

“Halo” or “halogen” as used herein refers to fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo; and “counterion” is used to represent a small, negatively charged species such as chloride, bromide, hydroxide, acetate, sulfate, and the like.

“Haloalkyl” is intended to include both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having the specified number of carbon atoms, substituted with 1 or more halogen (for example —C v F w where v=1 to 3 and w=1 to (2 v+1)). Examples of haloalkyl include, but are not limited to, trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, pentafluoroethyl, pentachloroethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, heptafluoropropyl, and heptachloropropyl. Examples of haloalkyl also include “fluoroalkyl” which is intended to include both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having the specified number of carbon atoms, substituted with 1 or more fluorine atoms.

“Haloalkoxy” or “haloalkyloxy” represents a haloalkyl group as defined above with the indicated number of carbon atoms attached through an oxygen bridge. For example, “C 1 -C 6 haloalkoxy”, is intended to include C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , C 5 , and C 6 haloalkoxy groups. Examples of haloalkoxy include, but are not limited to, trifluoromethoxy, 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy, pentafluorothoxy, and the like. Similarly, “haloalkylthio” or “thiohaloalkoxy” represents a haloalkyl group as defined above with the indicated number of carbon atoms attached through a sulphur bridge; for example trifluoromethyl-S—, pentafluoroethyl-S—, and the like.

As used herein, “carbocycle” is intended to mean any stable 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7-membered monocyclic or bicyclic or 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13-membered bicyclic or tricyclic, any of which may be saturated, partially unsaturated, or aromatic. Examples of such carbocycles include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, adamantyl, cyclooctyl, [3.3.0]bicyclooctane, [4.3.0]bicyclononane, [4.4.0]bicyclodecane (decalin), [2.2.2]bicyclooctane, fluorenyl, phenyl, naphthyl, indanyl, adamantyl, or tetrahydronaphthyl (tetralin).

The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized to —NO—, —SO—, or —SO 2 —. The heterocyclic ring may be attached to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom which results in a stable structure. The heterocyclic rings described herein may be substituted on carbon or on a nitrogen atom if the resulting compound is stable. If specifically noted, a nitrogen in the heterocycle may optionally be quaternized. It is preferred that when the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocycle exceeds 1, then these heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another.

“Amino acids residue” also refers to various amino acids where sidechain functional groups are coupled with appropriate protecting groups known to those skilled in the art. “The Peptides”, Vol 3, 3-88 (1981) discloses numerous suitable protecting groups and is incorporated herein by reference for that purpose. Examples of amino acids where sidechain functional groups are coupled with appropriate protecting groups include, but are not limited to, Asp(OMe), Glu(OMe), Hyp(OMe), Asp(O t Bu), Glu(O t Bu), Hyp(O t Bu), Thr(O t Bu), Asp(OBzl), Glu(OBzl), Hyp(OBzl), and Thr(OBzl).

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound is modified by making acid or base salts thereof. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic groups such as amines; and alkali or organic salts of acidic groups such as carboxylic acids. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the conventional non-toxic salts or the quaternary ammonium salts of the parent compound formed, for example, from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric, and nitric; and the salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, oxalic, and isethionic.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the parent compound which contains a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two; generally, nonaqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile are preferred. Lists of suitable salts are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1985, p. 1418, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Since prodrugs are known to enhance numerous desirable qualities of pharmaceuticals (e.g., solubility, bioavailability, manufacturing, etc.) the compounds of the present invention may be delivered in prodrug form. Thus, the present invention is intended to cover prodrugs of the presently claimed compounds, methods of delivering the same and compositions containing the same. “Prodrugs” are intended to include any covalently bonded carriers which release an active parent drug of the present invention in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of the present invention are prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compound. Prodrugs include compounds of the present invention wherein a hydroxy, amino, or sulfhydryl group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the present invention is administered to a mammalian subject, it cleaves to form a free hydroxyl, free amino, or free sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups in the compounds of the present invention.

“Stable compound” and “stable structure” are meant to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.

“Therapeutically effective amount” is intended to include an amount of a compound of the present invention or an amount of the combination of compounds claimed effective to inhibit HCV infection or treat the symptoms of HCV infection in a host. The combination of compounds is preferably a synergistic combination. Synergy, as described for example by Chou and Talalay, Adv. Enzyme Regul. 1984, 22, 27-55, occurs when the effect (in this case, inhibition of the desired target) of the compounds when administered in combination is greater than the additive effect of the compounds when administered alone as a single agent. In general, a synergistic effect is most clearly demonstrated at suboptimal concentrations of the compounds. Synergy can be in terms of lower cytotoxicity, increased antiviral effect, or some other beneficial effect of the combination compared with the individual components.

SYNTHESIS

The compounds of the present invention can be prepared in a number of ways well known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis. The compounds of the present invention can be synthesized using the methods described below, together with synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or variations thereon as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, those described below. All references cited herein are hereby incorporated in their entirety herein by reference.

The novel compounds of this invention may be prepared using the reactions and techniques described in this section. The reactions are performed in solvents appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and are suitable for the transformations being effected. Also, in the description of the synthetic methods described below, it is to be understood that all proposed reaction conditions, including choice of solvent, reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature, duration of the experiment and workup procedures, are chosen to be the conditions standard for that reaction, which should be readily recognized by one skilled in the art. It is understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on various portions of the molecule must be compatible with the reagents and reactions proposed. Such restrictions to the substituents which are compatible with the reaction conditions will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art and alternate methods must then be used.

The compounds of this invention are intended to interact with the catalytic serine hydroxyl of Hepatitis C NS3 protease, and therefore incorporate an electrophilic moiety capable of such interaction. In the synthetic schemes below, this moiety, or its synthetic equivalent or precursor, is referred to as a “serine trap” and is defined by structure 1-10.

Synthesis of inhibitors 1-11, 1-12, and 1-13

Scheme 1 illustrates the synthesis of inhibitors of structure 1-11, 1-12 and 1-13. In Scheme 1, R 3 , A 3 , R 8 , R 1 ,and W are as defined above; R 1″ , is H or small alkyl group, for example methyl or ethyl, P is a nitrogen protecting group, and R is a standard leaving group for carboxylic acids, wherein such protecting and leaving groups are known to one skilled in the art.

a) Protected cyclic amine (n=1-3) is oxidized with rutnenium oxide in a two-phase system (Yoshifuji, S. et al, Chem. Pharma. Bull. 1986, 34, 3873-3878) to the corresponding lactam 1-1 (n=1-3), then treated with strong base and alkylated with electrophile. It can be monoalkylated or dialkylated with R 3 -X″ and R 13 -X″ to give 4-substituted pyroglutamate 1-2. Pyroglutamate 1-2 is reduced by diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) or lithium triethylborohydride (super hydride) to the corresponding aminal 1-3, which is exchanged with methanol under acidic condition through acyl-iminium ion chemistry to 5-methoxyl-1-tert-butoxycarbonylpyroglutamate 1-4. Synthesis of compound 1-4 may also be accomplished using the chemistry outlined in Scheme 2. Briefly, N-protected glutamic acid derivative 2-4a is converted to thioester 2-4b catalyzed by EDC/DMAP. The thioester 2-4b is reduced to aldehyde by triethylsilane (Fukuyama, T. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 7050-7051), which reacts in an intramolecular fashion to give compound 1-4 in methanol.

b) 5-Methoxy pyroglutamate 1-4 is reacted with trimethylsilyl cyanide catalyzed by a Lewis acid such as ZnCl 2 or BF 3 etherate in methylene chloride to give 5-cyano pyroglutamate 1-5. The protecting group is removed to generate aminonitrile salt 1-6. The salt is reacted with oxalyl chloride or bromide at elevated temperature to produce dihydropyrrolopyrazinone 1-7 wherein R6 is Cl or Br.

c) Dihydropyrrolopyrazinone 1-7 reacts with amine A 3 R 8 NH 2 regiospecifically to give 3-amino-dihydropyrrolopyrazinone 1-8 in ethyl acetate or dioxane. When A 3 ═R 8 ═H, the amino group can be coupled to a suitably protected peptide fragment by methods known to one skilled in the art. The remaining chlorine or bromine is then optionally removed by hydrogenolysis or can be coupled to organometalic reagents using the chemistry known as Heck and Suzuki coupling (Suzuki et al. Chem. Rev. 1995, 95, 2457-2483). Hydrolysis of the ester 1-8 to the free acid, and peptide coupling with a serine trap H 2 NC(R 1 R 1″ )W (1-10) affords the inhibitor 1-11. Similarly, an inhibitor of formula 1-12 or 1-13 can be made from precursor 1-1a following the analogous chemistry describe above. 1-1a is made according to the chemistry described by Sardina et al (Blanco, M. et al, J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 8786-8793).

Compound 1-11, 1-12 or 1-13 are further purified by techniques known to those skilled in the art. These include silica gel chromatography, reverse phase HPLC, and size exclusion chromatography using Sephedex™ LH-20.

Synthesis of a serine trap of structure 1-10

a) Synthesis of •-amino boronic ester

Scheme 3 outlines a route to mono-substituted amino boronic esters. In Scheme 3, a Grignard reagent is reacted with a borate ester 3-12a, which can be prepared by the reaction of pinanediol with trialkylborate, providing boronate 3-12b. Homologation of 3-12b with the anion of dichloromethane gives the •-chloro boronic ester 3-12c. (Matteson, D. S.; Majumdar, D. Organometallics 1983, 2, 1529-1535). Displacement of the chloride by lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide gives silyl amine 3-12d, which is converted to the amine hydrochloride salt 3-12e with anhydrous HCl. (Matteson, D. S. Sadhu, K. M. Organometallics 1984, 3, 1284-1288). Notice that 3-12e is shown protected as the pinanediol ester. This is the preferred protecting group, but other diol protecting groups, for example but not to be limiting the scope of workable and known diol protecting groups, pinacol, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,2-diisopropylethanediol, 5,6-decanediol, 1,2-dicyclohexylethanediol, are known to those skilled in the art.

Peptide boronic esters can be prepared from commercially available materials by methods known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis. Peptide boronic acids and esters are generally well known in the art; however, for a general reference to synthesis of peptide boronic esters, see: Kettner, C; Forsyth, T. Houben - Weyl Methods of Organic Chemistry 1999, in press; for a reference to synthesis of fluorinated peptide residues see Matassa, V. et al., PCT Application WO 9964442, published Dec. 12, 1999.

No. 60/145,631, filed Jul. 26, 1999; herein incorporated in its entirety by reference.

b) Synthesis of α-ketoamide, α-ketoester and α-diketone

α-Ketoamides and other α-keto derivatives are generally introduced in the hydroxy form and oxidized to the active ketone form in the final synthetic step after it is coupled to the pyrazinone carboxylic acid 1-9. Scheme 4 illustrates the synthesis of α-hydroxy esters and α-hydroxy amides. In Scheme 4, substituted acrylate ester 4-13a is aminohydroxylated using a Sharpless's procedure (Tao, B., Sharpless, K. B. et al. Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 2507-2510) to Cbz-protected amino alchol 4-13b. Catalytic hydrogenation of 4-13b gives a-hydroxy ketoester 4-13c. Alternatively, 4-13b is hydrolyzed to free acid 4-13d and coupled to amine H 2 N-Q to give Cbz-protected amino α-hydroxy amide 4-13e. Catalytic hydrogenation of 4-13e gives α-hydroxy ketoamide 4-13f. For other methods to prepare α-keto esters, amides or other electrophilic carbonyl derivatives, see: N. P. et al. Tetrahedron Lett . Peet, 1988, 3433-3436; Edwards, P. D.; Bernstein, P. R. Medicinal Res. Reviews 1994, 14, 127-194, and references cited therein; Sharpless, K. B.; et al, Angew. Chem . Int. Ed. Engl. 1996, 35, 451; and Sharpless, K. B. et al, Angew. Chem . Int. Ed. Engl. 1996, 35, 2813. Many of the α, β-unsaturated esters, 4-13a, are commercially available or may be easily prepared from commercially available materials.

Amines of formula H 2 N-Q can be prepared from commercially available materials by methods known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis. More preferably, see techniques disclosed in copending commonly assigned U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/168,998, filed Dec. 3, 1999; herein incorporated in its entirety by reference.

c) Synthesis of amino trifluoromethyl and pentafluoroethyl ketones.

Similar toa-ketoamides and other a-keto derivatives, the trifluoromethyl or pentafluoroethyl ketone functionality is also introduced in the hydroxy form and oxidized to the active ketone form in the final step. Scheme 5 illustrates the synthesis of amino trifluoromethyl alcohol (Skiles, J. W. et al. J. Med. Chem. 1992, 35, 641-662) and amino pentafluoroethyl alcohol (Ogilvie, W. et al. J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 4113-4135). In Scheme 5, a Henry reaction between a nitroalkane R 1 NO 2 and trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal affords nitro alcohol 5-14a, which is hydrogenated over Ra-Ni and the resulting amino alcohol 5-14b is converted to the N-Boc derivative 5-14c. Treatment of the Boc-amine with anhydrous HCl affords the hydrochloride salt 5-14d. A solid-phase synthesis of peptidyl trifluoromethyl ketones is also known, see: Poupart, M.-A., et al. J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 1356-1361. Alternatively, condensation of the Weinreb amide 5-15a with CF 3 CF 2 Li followed by reduction with NaBH 4 gives pentafluoroethyl substituted alcohol 5-15b. Deprotection of 5-15b gives the amino alcohol salt 5-15d.

d) Synthesis of difluoro β-ketoamide

Scheme 6 outlines the synthesis of hydroxy difluoro β-ketoamides (see: Veale, C. A. et al. J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 3173-3181; Wolfe, M. S. et al. J. Med. Chem. 1998, 41, 6-9). In Scheme 6, protected aminoaldehyde 6-16a (For preparation of α-aminoaldehyde, see: Fukuyama, T. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 7050-7051 and Scheidt, K. A. et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. 1998, 6, 2477-2499) is reacted with 2-bromo-2,2-difluoroacetate to produce difluoro alcohol 6-16b. The alcohol 6-16b is hydrolyzed to the acid and coupled to an amine H 2 N-Q to give 6-16c. The nitrogen protecting group Pg is removed according to procedures known to one skilled in the art (see Greene, T. W. in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis , John Wiley & Sons, 2 nd Ed, 1991), producing difluoro β-ketoamide 6-16d.

The serine traps described above are generally coupled to the free acid of the dihydropyrrolopyrazinone using known peptide coupling procedures, preferably by the phosphonium salt PyAOP (Carpino, et al. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1994, 201-203). The alcohol functionality of the hydroxy serine trap is oxidized by procedures known to those skilled in the art, such as Dess-Martin periodinane method (Dess, D. B, Martin, J. C. J. Org. Chem. 1983, 48, 4155-4156) in the final step to give a compound of structure 1-11 and 1-12

wherein W contains an activated carbonyl.

When required, separation of the racemic material can be achieved by HPLC using a chiral column or by a resolution using a resolving agent such as camphonic chloride (Steven D. Young, et al, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotheraphy 1995, 2602-2605). A chiral compound may also be directly synthesized using a chiral catalyst or a chiral ligand (Andrew S. Thompson, et al, Tet. lett. 1995, 36, 8937-8940).

UTILITY

The compounds of Formula (I) are expected to inhibit the activity of Hepatitis C Virus NS3 protease and, therefore, to possess utility in the cure and prevention of HCV infections. The NS3 protease inhibition is demonstrated using assays for NS3 protease activity, for example, using the assay described below for assaying inhibitors of NS3 protease. The compounds of Formula (I) are expected to show activity against NS3 protease in cells, as demonstrated by the cellular assay described below. A compound is considered to be active if it has an IC 50 value of less than about 100 μM in this assay. It is more preferred if it has an IC 50 value of less than about 60 μM. It is even more preferred if it has an IC 50 value of less than about 1 μM.

It is most preferred if it has an IC 50 value of less than about 0.1 μM. Compounds of the present invention have been shown to have an IC 50 value of less than about 100uM in this assay.

Expression and Purification of NS3 Protease

The plasmid cf1SODp600, containing the complete coding region of HCV NS3 protease, genotype 1a, was obtained from ATCC (database accession: DNA Seq. Acc. M62321, originally deposited by Chiron Corporation). PCR primers were designed that allow amplification of the DNA fragment encoding the NS3 protease catalytic domain (amino acids 1 to 192) as well as its two N-terminal fusions, a 5 amino acid leader sequence MGAQH (serving as a expression tag) and a 15 amino acid His tag MRGSHHHHHHMGAQH. The NS3 protease constructs were cloned in the bacterial expression vector under the control of the T7 promoter and transformed in E. coli BL 21 (DE3) cells. Expression of the NS3 protease was obtained by addition of 1 mM IPTG and cells were growing for additional 3h at 25° C. The NS3 protease constructs have several fold difference in expression level, but exhibit the same level of solubility and enzyme specific activity. A typical 10 L fermentation yielded approximately 200 g of wet cell paste. The cell paste was stored at −80° C. The NS3 protease was purified based on published procedures (Steinkuhler C. et al. Journal of Virology 70, 6694-6700, 1996 and Steinkuhler C. et al. Journal of Biological Chemistry 271, 6367-6373, 1996.) with some modifications. Briefly, the cells were resuspended in lysis buffer (10 mL/g) containing PBS buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl), 50% glycerol, 10 mM DTT, 2% CHAPS and 1 mM PMSF. Cell lysis was performed with use of microfluidizer. After homogenizing, DNase was added to a final concentration 70 U/mL and cell lysate was incubated at 4° C. for 20 min. After centrifugation at 18,000 rpm for 30 min at 4° C. supernatant was applied on SP Sepharose column (Pharmacia), previously equilibrated at a flow rate 3 mL/min in buffer A (PBS buffer, 10% glycerol, 3 mM DTT). The column was extensively washed with buffer A and the protease was eluted by applying 25 column volumes of a linear 0.14-1.0 M NaCl gradient. NS3 containing fractions were pooled and concentrated on an Amicon stirred ultrafiltration cell using a YM-10 membrane. The enzyme was further purified on 26/60 Superdex 75 column (Pharmacia), equilibrated in buffer A. The sample was loaded at a flow rate 1 mL/min, the column was then washed with a buffer A at a flow rate 2 mL/min. Finally, the NS3 protease containing fractions were applied on Mono S 10/10 column (Pharmacia) equilibrated in 50 mM Tris.HCl buffer, pH 7.5, 10% glycerol and 1 mM DTT and operating at flow rate 2 mL/min. Enzyme was eluted by applying 20 column volumes of a linear 0.1-0.5 M NaCl gradient. Based on SDS-PAGE analysis as well as HPLC analysis and active site titration, the purity of the HCV NS3 la protease was greater than 95%. The enzyme was stored at −70° C. and diluted just prior to use.

Enzyme Assays

Concentrations of protease were determined in the absence of NS4a by using the peptide ester substrate Ac-DED(Edans)EEAbuψ[COO]ASK(Dabcyl)-NH 2 (Taliani et al. Anal. Biochem. 240, 60-67, 1996.) and the inhibitor, H-Asp-Glu-Val-Val-Pro-boroAlg-OH (administered as Example Q9701 which hydrolyzes to the boronic acid), and by using tight binding reaction conditions (Bieth, Methods Enzymol. 248, 59-85, 1995). Best data was obtained for an enzyme level of 50 nM. Alternately, protease (63 μg/mL) was allowed to react with 3 μM NS4a, 0.10 mM Ac-Glu-Glu-Ala-Cys-pNA, and varying level of Q9701 (0-6 μM). Concentrations of protease were determined from linear plots of Activity vs.[Q9701]. Molar concentrations of proteases were determined from the x-intercept.

K m values were determined measuring the rate of hydrolysis of the ester substrate over a range of concentrations from 5.0 to 100 μM in the presence of 3 μM KKNS4a (KKGSVVIVGRIVLSGKPAIIPKK). Assay were run at 25° C., by incubating ˜1 nM enzyme with NS4a for 5 min in 148 μl of buffer (50 mM Tri buffer, pH 7.0, 50% glycerol, 2% Chaps, and 5.0 mM DTT. Substrate (2.0 μl) in buffer was added and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 15 min. Reactions were quenched by adding 3.0 μL of 10% TFA, and the levels of hydrolysis were determined by HPLC. Aliquots (50 μL) were injected on the HPLC and linear gradients from 90% water, 10% acetonitrile and 0.10 % TFA to 10% water, 90% acetonitrile and 0.10% TFA were run at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min over a period of 30 min. HPLCs were run on a HP1090 using a Rainin 4.6×250 mm C18 column (cat # 83-201-C) fluorescent detection using 350 and 500 nm as excitation and emission wavelengths, respectively. Levels of hydrolysis were determined by measuring the area of the fluorescent peak at 5.3 min. 100% hydrolysis of a 5.0 μM sample gave an area of 7.95±0.38 fluorescence units.). Kinetic constants were determined from the iterative fit of the Michaelis equation to the data. Results are consistent with data from Liveweaver Burk fits and data collected for the 12.8 min peak measured at 520 nm.

Enzyme activity was also measured by measuring the increase in fluorescence with time by exciting at 355 nm and measuring emission at 495 nm using a Perkin Elmer LS 50 spectrometer. A substrate level of 5.0 μM was used for all fluorogenic assays run on the spectrometer.

Inhibitor Evaluation In vitro

Inhibitor effectiveness was determined by measuring enzyme activity both in the presence and absence of inhibitor. Velocities were fit to the equation for competitive inhibition for individual reactions of inhibitors with the enzyme using

v i V o =[Khd m (1+ I/K i )+ S]/[K m +S].

The ratio v i /v o is equal to the ratio of the Michaelis equations for velocities measured in the presence (v i ) and absence (v o ) of inhibitor. Values of v i /v o were measured over a range of inhibitor concentrations with the aid of an Excel™ Spreadsheet. Reported K i values are the average of 3-5 separate determinations. Under the conditions of this assay, the IC 50 and K i s are comparable measures of inhibitor effectiveness.

Using the methodology described above, a number of compounds of the present invention were found to exhibit a K i of ≦60 μM, thereby confirming the utility of the compounds of the present invention as effective NS3 protease inhibitors.

Inhibitor Evaluation in Cell Assay.

The following method was devised to assess inhibitory action of test compounds on the HCV NS3 protease in cultured cells. Because it is not possible to efficiently infect cells with hepatitis C virus, an assay was developed based on co-expression in transfected cell lines of two plasmids, one is able to direct synthesis of the NS3 protease and the other to provide a polypeptide analogous to a part of the HCV non-structural protein containing a single known peptide sequence highly susceptible to cleavage by the protease.

When installed in cultured cells by one of a variety of standard methods, the substrate plasmid produces a stable polypeptide of approximately 50 KD, but when the plasmid coding for the viral protease is co-expressed, the enzymatic action of the protease hydrolyzes the substrate at a unique sequence between a cysteine and a serine pair, yielding products which can be detected by antibody-based technology, eg, a western blot. Quantitation of the amounts of precursor and products can be done by scanning film auto-radiograms of the blots or direct luminescense-based emissions from the blots in a commercial scanning device. The general organization of the two plasmids is provided in Scheme 6. The coding sequences for the NS3 protease and the substrate were taken from genotype la of HCV, but other genotypes, eg 2a, may be substituted with similar results.

The DNA plasmids are introduced into cultured cells using electroporation, liposomes or other means. Synthesis of the protease and the substrate begin shortly after introduction and may be detected within a few hours by immunological means. Therefore, test compounds are added at desired concentrations to the cells within a few minutes after introducing the plasmids. The cells are then placed in a standard CO 2 incubator at 37° C., in tissue culture medium eg Dulbecco-modified MEM containing 10% bovine serum. After 6-48 hours, the cells are collected by physically scraping them from plastic dishes in which they have been growing, centrifuging them and then lysing about 10 6 of the concentrated cells in a minimal volume of buffered detergent, eg 20 μl of 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate in 0.10 M Tris-HCl, pH 6.5, containing 1% mercaptaethanol and 7% glycerol. The samples are then loaded onto a standard SDS polyacrylamide gel, the polypeptides separated by electrophoresis, and the gel contents then electroblotted onto nitrocellulose or other suitable paper support, and the substrate and products detected by decoration with specific antibodies.

Although this invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, the details of these embodiments are not to be construed as limitations. Various equivalents, changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention, and it is understood that such equivalent embodiments are part of this invention.
