Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to substituted isoindoline compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of use thereof for (i) inhibiting HIV replication in a subject infected with HIV, or (ii) treating a subject infected with HIV, by administering such compounds.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) leads to the contraction of acquired immune deficiency disease (AIDS). The number of cases of HIV continues to rise, and currently over twenty-five million individuals worldwide suffer from the virus. Presently, long-term suppression of viral replication with antiretroviral drugs is the only option for treating HIV-1 infection. Indeed, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved twenty-five drugs over six different inhibitor classes, which have been shown to greatly increase patient survival and quality of life. However, additional therapies are still required because of undesirable drug-drug interactions; drug-food interactions; non-adherence to therapy; and drug resistance due to mutation of the enzyme target.


Currently, almost all HIV positive patients are treated with therapeutic regimens of antiretroviral drug combinations termed, highly active antiretroviral therapy (“HAART”). However, HAART therapies are often complex because a combination of different drugs must be administered often daily to the patient to avoid the rapid emergence of drug-resistant HIV-1 variants. Despite the positive impact of HAART on patient survival, drug resistance can still occur. The emergence of multidrug-resistant HIV-1 isolates has serious clinical consequences and must be suppressed with a new drug regimen, known as salvage therapy.


Current guidelines recommend that salvage therapy includes at least two, and preferably three, fully active drugs. Typically, first-line therapies combine three to four drugs targeting the viral enzymes reverse transcriptase and protease. One option for salvage therapy is to administer different combinations of drugs from the same mechanistic class that remain active against the resistant isolates. However, the options for this approach are often limited, as resistant mutations frequently confer broad cross-resistance to different drugs in the same class. Alternative therapeutic strategies have recently become available with the development of fusion, entry, and integrase inhibitors. However, resistance to all three new drug classes has already been reported both in the lab and in patients. Sustained successful treatment of HIV-1-infected patients with antiretroviral drugs will therefore require the continued development of new and improved drugs with new targets and mechanisms of action.


For example, over the last decade HIV inhibitors have been reported to target the protein-protein interaction between HIV-1 integrase and Lens Epithelium Derived Growth Factor/p75 (“LEDGF”). LEDGF is a cellular transcriptional cofactor of HIV-1 integrase that promotes viral integration of reverse transcribed viral cDNA into the host cell's genome by tethering the preintegration complex to the chromatin. Because of its crucial role in the early steps of HIV replication, the interaction between LEDGF and integrase represents another attractive target for HIV drug therapy.

To a stirred solution of (S)-ethyl 2-(tert-butoxy)-2-(2-(3-fluorobenzoyl)-4,7-dimethyl-6-(trimethylsilyl)isoindolin-5-yl)acetate (3.15 g, 6.30 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (52 mL) at 0° C. was added NaHCO3 (10.6 g, 126 mmol). The mixture was then treated with 1M ICI/DCM (6.93 mL, 6.93 mmol) by dropwise addition. After 12 minutes LCMS indicated complete reaction. The solution was partitioned between EtOAc and 5% aqueous sodium thiosulfate and the phases separated. The aqueous phase was extracted once with EtOAc. The combined EtOAc solutions were washed with water (1×), brine (1×), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated at reduced pressure to give 3.67 g of a pale yellow foam. This material was subjected to flash chromatography (silica gel, 0-100% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the title compound (3.20 g, 92%) as a white foam.

1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) (mixture of rotamers and atropisomer) δ ppm 7.54-7.42 (m, 1H), 7.41-7.34 (m, 1H), 7.34-7.24 (m, 2H), 7.24-7.13 (m, 1H), 7.13-7.04 (m, 1H), 6.96-6.80 (m, 1H), 5.35-4.88 (m, 3H), 4.84-4.65 (m, 2H), 2.53-2.26 (m, 6H), 2.00-1.67 (m, 3H), 1.20-1.03 (m, 9H); LCMS (m/z) ES+=524 (M+1).


Anti-HIV Activity
MT4 Assay

Antiviral HIV activity and cytotoxicity values for compounds of the invention from Table 1 were measured in parallel in the HTLV-1 transformed cell line MT-4 based on the method previously described (Hazen et al., 2007, In vitro antiviral activity of the novel, tyrosyl-based human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 protease inhibitor brecanavir (GW640385) in combination with other antiretrovirals and against a panel of protease inhibitor-resistant HIV (Hazen et al., “In vitro antiviral activity of the novel, tyrosyl-based human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 protease inhibitor brecanavir (GW640385) in combination with other antiretrovirals and against a panel of protease inhibitor-resistant HIV”, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2007, 51: 3147-3154; and Pauwels et al., “Sensitive and rapid assay on MT-4 cells for the detection of antiviral compounds against the AIDS virus”, J. of Virological Methods 1987, 16: 171-185).


Luciferase activity was measured 96 hours later by adding a cell titer glo (Promega, Madison, Wis.). Percent inhibition of cell protection data was plotted relative to no compound control. Under the same condition, cytotoxicity of the compounds was determined using cell titer Glo™ (Promega, Madison, Wis.). IC50s were determined from a 10 point dose response curve using 3-4-fold serial dilution for each compound, which spans a concentration range >1000 fold.


These values are plotted against the molar compound concentrations using the standard four parameter logistic equation:






y=((Vmax*x̂n)/(K̂n+x̂n))+Y2


where:


Y2=minimum y n=slope factor


Vmax=maximum y x=compound concentration [M]


K=EC50


When tested in the MT4 assay compounds were found to have IC50 values listed in Table 1.
