Inhibitors of HIV protease useful for the treatment of AIDS

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A retrovirus designated human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) is the causative agent of the complex disease termed Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and is a member of the lentivirus family of retroviruses. M. A. Gonda, F. Wong-Staal, R. C. Gallo, "Sequence Homology and Morphological Similarity of HTLV III And Visna Virus, A Pathogenic Lentivirus", Science, 227, 173, (1985); P. Sonigo, N. Alizon, et al., "Nucleotide Sequence of the Visna Lentivirus: Relationship to the AIDS Virus", Cell, 42, 369, (1985). The complex disease AIDS includes progressive destruction of the immune system and degeneration of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The HIV virus was previously known or referred to as LAV, HTLV-III or ARV.
A common feature of retrovirus replication is the post-translational processing of precursor polyproteins by a virally encoded protease to generate mature vital proteins required for viral assembly and function. Interruption of this processing appears to prevent the production of normally infectious virus. Unprocessed structural proteins also have been observed in clones of non-infectious HIV strains isolated from human patients. The results suggest that the inhibition of HIV protease represents a viable method for the treatment of AIDS and the prevention or treatment of infection by HIV.
The HIV genome encodes structural protein precursors known as gag and pol, which are processed to afford the protease, reverse transcriptase and endonuclease/integrase. The protease further cleaves gag and gag-pol polyproteins to yield mature structural proteins of the virus core.
Considerable efforts are being directed toward the control of HIV by means of the structural protein precursors which are processed to yield the retroviral protease, reverse transcriptase and endonuclease/integrase. For example, the currently used therapeutic, AZT, is an inhibitor of the viral reverse transcriptase. H. Hitsuya, NS. Broder, "Inhibition of the In Vitro Infectivity in cytopathic Effects of HTLV III", Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 83, 1911 (1986).
Research efforts have also been directed toward HIV protease inhibitors. For example, European Patent Application (EPA) 361 341; EPA 346 847; EPA 402 646; and EPA 337 714 all disclose compounds which are said to be useful as HIV protease inhibitors.
Unfortunately, many of the known compounds suffer from toxicity problems, lack of bioavailability or short in vivo half-lives. Thus, despite the recognized therapeutic potential associated with a protease inhibitor and the research efforts expended thus far, a viable therapeutic agent has not yet emerged.
Accordingly, a primary object of the present invention is to provide novel HIV protease inhibitors which Are useful in the treatment or prevention of HIV infection and/or the resulting acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
A further object of the present invention is to provide therapeutic compositions that are useful in the treatment or prevention of HIV infection and/or AIDS.
Still another object is to provide methods for the treatment or prevention of HIV infection and/or AIDS.
Other objects, features and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description and claims.

Such bases useful in preparing the salts of this invention thus include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and the like. The potassium and sodium salt forms are particularly preferred.
It should be recognized that the particular counterion forming a part of any salt of this invention is not of a critical nature, so long as the salt as a whole is pharmacologically acceptable and as long as the counterion does not contribute undesired qualities to the salt as a whole.
Preferred compounds of this invention are those compounds of formula I where:
R.sup.1 is phenyl;

I. Preparation of Protease and Gag Fractions
A. Culture of E. coli K12 L507/pHP10D
Lyophils of E. coli K12 L507/pHP10D were obtained from the Northern Regional Research Laboratory, Peoria, Ill. 61604, under the accession number NRRL B-18560 (deposited Nov. 14, 1989). The lyophils were decanted into tubes containing 10 mL LB medium (10 g Bacto-tryprone, 5 g Bacto-yeast extract, and 10 g sodium chloride per liter; the pH was adjusted to 7.5 and incubated at 32.degree. C., overnight).
A small portion of the overnight culture was placed on LB-agar (LB medium with 15 g/L Bacto-agar) plates containing 12.5 .mu.g/mL tetracycline in a manner so as to obtain a single colony isolate of E. coli K12 L507/pHP10D. The single colony obtained was inoculated into 10 mL of LB medium containing 12.5 .mu.g/mL tetracycline and incubated overnight at 32.degree. C. with vigorous shaking. The 10 mL overnight culture was inoculated into LB medium containing 12.5 .mu.g/mL tetracycline and incubated at 32.degree. C. with vigorous shaking until the culture reached mid-log phase.
B. Culture of E. coli K12 L507/pHGAG
Lyophils of E. coli K12 L507/pHGAG were obtained from the NRRL under the accession number NRRL B-18561 (deposited Nov. 14, 1989). A purified colony of E. coli K 12 L507/pHGAG was isolated, and used as an inoculum for a culture which was grown to mid-log phase in substantial accordance with the teaching of Step A, above, for E. Coli K12 L507/pHP10D.
C. Preparation of Protease Fraction
A culture of E. coli K12 L507/pHP10D was grown to mid-log phase at 32.degree. C. in LB media containing 12.5 .mu.g/ml tetracycline. The cultivation temperature was quickly elevated to 40.degree. C. to induce gene expression, and the cells were allowed to grow for 2.5 hours at this temperature before the culture was quickly chilled on ice. The cells were centrifuged and the cell pellet was resuspended in 20 mL 50 mmol MES buffer (pH 6.0) containing 1 mmol EDTA, 1 mmol DTT, 1 mmol PMSF and 10% glycerol ("Buffer A"). Cells were lysed by sonication using a Fischer Model 300 Dismembrator and a microtip probe. Following centrifugation at 27,000.times.g, the supernatant was diluted to a total volume of 60 mL with Buffer A and loaded onto a 2.0.times.19 cm QAE-Sepharose column (1 mL/min, 4.degree. C.), that had been equilibrated in Buffer A. The column was washed isocratically for 180 min and then eluted with a gradient eluent of 0-1.0M sodium chloride in Buffer A over 120 min. Enzymatic activity was measured by HPLC using the synthetic peptide SQNYPIV as described in Margolin et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 167, 554-560 (1990); the production of the p1 peptide (SQNY) was measured.
The active fractions were combined, made 1.2M in ammonium sulfate, and applied to a 2.0.times.18 cm hexyl agarose column that had been equilibrated in Buffer A containing 1.2M ammonium sulfate. The sample was loaded at a flow rate of 1 mL/min at 4.degree. C., washed with the equilibration buffer for 240 min (1 mL/min) and then eluted using a reverse linear gradient of 1.2-0M ammonium sulfate in Buffer A for 120 min at the same flow rate. The column was then washed isocratically in Buffer A for 120 min.
The active fractions were combined, concentrated to 10 mL using an Amicon stirred cell with a YM-10 membrane and then applied to a MonoS cation exchange column (1.0.times.10 cm) that had been equilibrated in Buffer A. The sample was loaded at a flow rate of 1 mL/min at 25.degree. C. After washing isocratically for 30 min, the protease was eluted using a linear gradient of 0-0.45M sodium chloride in Buffer A over 40 min. The column was washed isocratically in Buffer A containing 0.45M sodium chloride for 30 min.
The active fractions were combined and concentrated to 200 .mu.L using an Amicon stirred cell and a YM-10 membrane and then the protease was applied to a Superose 6 size exclusion column equilibrated in Buffer A containing 0.1M sodium chloride. The column was washed isocratically in this buffer at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, following which the HIV protease was eluted as a single peak.
QAE-Sepharose, and hexyl agarose were purchased from Sigma Chemical Company. Superose 6 and MonoS were were purchased from Pharmacia. Buffers and reagents were obtained from Sigma.

In an analogous manner, a culture of E. coli K12 507/pHGAG was grown to mid-log phase at 32.degree. C. then shifted to 40.degree. C. for about 4 to 5 hours. The culture was chilled on ice and centrifuged, then the pellet was resuspended in 8 mL lysis buffer containing 5 mg/mL lysozyme. Lysis buffer was comprised of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8), 5 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 100 mM NaCl, 1 .mu.g/mL E64 and 2 .mu.g/mL aprotinin. The culture was incubated about 30 to 60 minutes at 4.degree. C., then briefly sonicated in a Branson.RTM. Cell Disrupter at 60% power, for three 20 second bursts with chilling between each burst. The culture was then centrifuged at 15,000.times.g. The supernatant, which contains the unprocessed gag protein, was partially purified by size exclusion chromatography on a Sephadex G-50 column and stored at -20.degree. C. in 50% glycerol and lysis buffer.

The protected peptide-resin N.sup..alpha. -Boc-Gly-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr(BrZ)-Pro-Ile-Val-Gly-Lys(2-ClZ)-OCH.sub.2 -PAM-resin SEQ ID NO:2. was synthesized on an Advanced Chemtech Model 200 peptide synthesizer at 1.5 mmol scale using the standard double-couple protocol. The amino terminal Boc group was removed with 50% trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride and the resulting resin neutralized with 5% di(isopropyl)ethylamine (DIEA) in methylene chloride. Then, 1.1 g (4.5 mmol) of biotin in 20 mL of dimethylsulfoxide was added to the peptide resin, followed by 4.5 mmol of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in 9 mL of methylene chloride. The resulting reaction mixture was diluted to 40 mL total volume using 11 mL methylene chloride, and then allowed to react for approximately 5 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated, the resin washed sequentially with dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide and methylene chloride and then neutralized with 5% DIEA in methylene chloride. This reaction was repeated twice, with the reaction time being extended to 12 hours per reaction. Ninhydrin analysis of the resin indicated complete reaction of the biotin with the glycine amine group. The final peptide resin was washed extensively with dimethylformamide and methylene chloride and dried to provide 4.3 g (98%).
B. Deprotection
The peptide was deprotected and cleaved from the resin using 50 mL of a hydrofluoric acid/m-cresol solution, 0.degree. C., 1 hour. After removal of the hydrofluoric acid by vacuum distillation, the m-cresol was extracted from the reaction mixture using 100 mL of diethylether.

The resulting solution was applied to a 2.2.times.25 cm. reverse phase column of octadecyl-silica (Vydac C-18) which had been equilibrated with the same buffer. The peptide was eluted using an 855 minute linear gradient of 7.5-25% acetonitrile, at 2 mL/minute, with collection of fractions. These fractions were analyzed using Analytical HPLC was performed on a 4.6.times.250 mm Vydac C-18 column using similar buffer conditions. The fractions containing the desired material were combined, frozen and lyophilized to provide 1.206 g (62%).

Fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry gave a molecular ion mass peak of 1288, in agreement with theory.
D. Labeling
The purified peptide was labeled with a fluorescent marker at the C-terminal end for use in the Pandex assay. N.sup..alpha. -Biotin-Gly-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr-Pro-Ile-Val-Gly-Lys-OH SEQ ID NO:3. (1.206 g, 0.936 mmol) was dissolved in 100 mL of 0.1M sodium borate, pH 9.5. Then, a solution of 3 g (7.7 mmol) of fluorescein isothiocyanate in 15 mL dimethyl sulfoxide was added to the reaction mixture in 10 equal portions over two hours. The resulting mixture was allowed to react for one hour after the final addition. The solution was adjusted to pH 3 using 5N hydrochloric acid, resulting in the formation of a precipitate which was removed by centrifugation.
The peptide solution was then adjusted to pH 7.8 using 5N sodium hydroxide and then diluted to 200 mL total volume by the addition of 0.1M ammonium acetate, pH 7.5. The resulting solution was then filtered through a 0.22 micron filter and loaded onto a 2.2.times.25 cm column of Vydac C-18 which had been equilibrated with of 5% acetonitrile in 0.1M ammonium acetate (pH 7.5). The peptide was eluted from the column using an 855 minute linear gradient of 5-25% acetonitrile, at 2 mL/minute, with collection of fractions. Analytical HPLC was used to analyze the fractions. The fractions containing the desired product were then combined, frozen and lyophilized to provide 190.2 mg (12%).
