Isothiazolones

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention provides isothiazolone derivatives which are useful as antiviral agents, anti-inflammatory agents, and anti-atherosclerotic agents. The invention is more particularly directed to bicyclic and polycyclic isothiazolones which are useful for treating retroviruses, including myeloblastosis associated virus, Rous sarcoma virus, human T-cell leukaemia virus, and HIV. The compounds also are effective for treating inflammation and atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Certain isothiazolones are known which have various pharmaceutical utilities, most notably antimicrobial activity. Okachi, et al., J. Med. Chem., 1985; 28:1772-1779, describe several 1,2-benzisothiazolones which have marginal antibiotic activity and which were primarily utilized as intermediates in the synthesis of 2,2'-dithiobis (benzamide) derivatives. Carmellino, et al., Eur. J. Med. Chem., 1994; 29:743-751, disclose a variety of 1,2-benzisothiazolones as antibacterial and antifungal agents. Miller, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,517,022, disclose 2-carbamoyl-1,2-benzisothiazolones which are said to be active against bacteria, fungi, and algae. Morley, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,012,039, describes 2-alkyl-1,2-benzisothiazolones which are useful as antibacterials and antifungals. Sherba, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,219,875, describe synergistic antimicrobial compositions comprising 2-unsubstituted 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one and iodopropargyl butylcarbamate. Laber, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,049,817, describe synergistic antimicrobial compositions containing a variety of 2-substituted and 2-unsubstituted benzisothiazolinones.
Grivos, U.S. Pat. No. 3,761,489, describes a series of substituted N-alkyl benzisothiazolinones which are said to be active against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. Grivos, U.S. Pat. No. 3,661,974, describes the synthesis of various 2-substituted 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-ones from 2-carbalkoxy-phenyl sulfonamides. The thiazolinones are said to be useful as antibacterials and antiseptics.
None of the references describing isothiazolones have disclosed that such compounds can be used to treat and prevent viral infections, inflammation, or atherosclerosis. We have now discovered that isothiazolones are potent anti-retroviral agents, and an object of this invention is to provide a method for preventing and treating viral diseases, including diseases caused by human T-cell leukaemia virus, Rous sarcoma virus, the myeloblastosis associated virus, various animal retroviruses, as well as HIV. A further object of the invention is to provide certain isothiazolones which are new compounds and which are especially useful for treating diseases caused by HIV. Still, a further object is to provide a method for treating inflammation and atherosclerosis by administering an isothiazolone.

The compounds of the invention can be bicyclic or tricyclic, for example, when A in Formula I is a monocyclic ring or a bicyclic ring, respectively.

Typical substituted Het(CR.sup.6 R.sup.7).sub.m -- include: ##STR16##
The compounds to be utilized to treat and prevent retroviral infections, inflammation, and atherosclerosis according to this invention can be prepared by any of several synthetic processes utilizing common methodology. For example, an O-halosulfenylbenzoyl halide can be reacted with an amine according to the following scheme, which is the general method of Fisher and Hurni, Arzneithmittel Forsch., 1964; 14:1301: ##STR17## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.5 are as defined above, and "halo" includes chloro, bromo, iodo, and the like. Typically, the amine and halosulfenylbenzoyl halide are employed in approximately equimolar quantities; however, an excess of the amine can be utilized if desired. The reaction generally is substantially complete within about 1 to 8 hours when carried out in a mutual solvent such as toluene, ethylene dichloride, or methylene chloride at a temperature of about 0.degree. C. to 45.degree. C. Acid scavengers, such as triethylamine, can be utilized if desired. The product isothiazolone is readily isolated by removing the reaction solvent, and further purification can be accomplished by crystallization or chromatography, if desired. The process is equally applicable to all A systems contemplated.
An alternative method of synthesis comprises reacting a 2-unsubstituted isothiazolone with a compound R.sub.5 L, where L is a leaving group such as halo. This reaction is depicted as follows: ##STR18## Specific reaction conditions, such as choice of solvents, temperature, molar ratios, acid scavengers, and the like, are similar to the process described above, and are well within the skill of the art.
A preferred method for preparing the isothiazolones comprises disproportionate of a 2,2'-dithiobis aryl amide by reaction with an oxidizing agent such as chlorine or bromine according to the following scheme: ##STR19## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.5 are as defined above. This disproportionate reaction requires starting with a 2,2'-dithio bisaryl amide, and these are readily prepared from 2,2'-dithio bisaryl carboxylic acids by reacting the acid with a chlorinating agent such as oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride to produce the corresponding acid chloride, and then reacting the acid chloride with an amine R.sub.5 NH.sub.2. A typical synthesis follows the following scheme: ##STR20##
The 2,2'-dithio-bisaryl carboxylic acids required for the above synthesis are well known in the art or are readily prepared by routine methods. Typical aryl carboxylic acids commonly used include those of the following general structures: ##STR21##
The 2,2'-dithio-bisaryl carboxylic acids are readily converted to the corresponding acid chlorides by reaction with a chlorinating agent such as thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride. The reaction can be carried out neat or in an unreactive organic solvent such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dimethylformamide, or the like. The reaction generally is complete within about 1 to about 8 hours when carried out at a temperature of about 0.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. The product acid chlorides are readily isolated simply by removing the reaction solvent and excess chlorinating agent, for example by evaporation under reduced pressure.
The 2,2'-dithio-bisaryl carboxylic acid chlorides are next converted to 2,2'-dithio-bisarylamides by reaction with a primary amine of the formula R.sup.5 NH.sub.2. Typical primary amines commonly employed include alkyl amines and substituted alkyl amines such as methylamine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, lysine, asparagine, and the like. Aniline and substituted anilines can also be employed, such as 4-hydroxyaniline, 3-aminoaniline, 3-methylthioaniline, 4-dimethylsulfamoylaniline, and the like. The amine and acid chloride generally are mixed in approximately equimolar quantities in a mutual solvent such as acetone, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, and the like. Acid scavengers such as pyridine, triethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, and the like, can be utilized if desired. The reaction generally is complete within about 1 to about 18 hours when carried out at a temperature of about 0.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. The 2,2'-dithio-bisaryl amides that are formed are easily isolated by simply removing the reaction solvents and any excess reactants by evaporation under reduced pressure, and further purification generally is not required.
The 2,2'-dithiobisaryl carboxamides can be converted to the isothiazolones of the invention in either of two ways. The carboxamides readily react with oxidizing agents such as bromine or chlorine to effect cyclization to the corresponding isothiazolones. The oxidation generally is carried out by mixing an excess of chlorine or bromine with the carboxamide in a suitable solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, or the like, typically at a reduced temperature of about 0.degree. C. to about 5.degree. C. The product isothiazolone is generally solid at room temperature and normally precipitates from the reaction mixture. It can be recovered by filtration, and further purified, if desired, by routine methods such as washing, for instance with aqueous sodium bicarbonate or the like, and crystallized from common solvents such as acetone, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and the like.
An alternative method for making the isothiazolones from the 2,2'-dithiobis aryl carboxamides comprises first converting the dithiobis intermediate to the corresponding aryl thiol carboxamide derivative, and then cyclizing the thiol and carboxamide to form the final product. This scheme is depicted below: ##STR22## The dithiobis intermediates are reacted with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol (DTT) in a mutual solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, dioxane, and the like. The reduction typically is carried out at a temperature of about 10.degree. C. to about 30.degree. C., and normally is complete within about 0.5 to about 4 hours. The product aryl thiol carboxamide generally is not isolated, other than removing any reaction solvent by evaporation.
The aryl thiol carboxamide can also be prepared from readily available 2-hydroxycarboxylic acids according to the following scheme: ##STR23## In this process, a 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid is reacted with an excess of a common chlorinating agent such as thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride in an unreactive organic solvent such as ethylene dichloride, chloroform, ethyl chloride, toluene, or the like, typically at a temperature of about 25.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C. The product, a 2-chloro acid chloride derivative, generally is isolated by simply removing the reaction solvent and excess chlorinating agent, for instance by evaporation under reduced pressure. The chloro acid chloride is then reacted with a primary amine, R.sup.5 NH.sub.2, in an unreactive organic solvent such as chloroform, methylene chloride, ethyl chloride, or the like. Typical primary amines commonly employed include natural .alpha.-amino acids such as glycine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, aspartic acid, and the like. Tertiary and aromatic amines such as triethylamine, pyridine, or N-methyl morpholine can be added to act as acid scavenger for the hydrochloric acid that is formed during the reaction. The chloro carboxamide that is produced is readily isolated by removing the reaction solvent, and further purification can be accomplished by routine methods such as crystallization, chromatography, and the like. The chloro carboxamide is next reacted with sodium hydrogen sulfide in a polar solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or the like to give the corresponding 2-thiol carboxamide derivative.
The aryl thiol carboxamide is next reacted with an agent to effect cyclization. Typical agents routinely utilized include chlorocarbonyl sulfenyl chloride, iodine, bromine, and the like. The cyclization is accomplished by mixing equimolar quantities of the thiol carboxamide and cyclizing agent in an unreactive organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or the like, and stirring the mixture for about 0.5 to about 18 hours at a temperature of about 0.degree. C. to about 30.degree. C. The product isothiozolone typically precipitates as it is formed, and is readily isolated by filtration, and further purified, if desired, by crystallization, chromatography, and the like.
Many of the compounds embraced by Formula I can have functional substituent groups (e.g., R.sup.1 and R.sup.2) which may need to be derivatized in order to avoid unwanted side reactions during synthesis. Such functional substituent groups include, for example, hydroxy groups, amino groups, especially primary and secondary amino groups, and carboxylic acid groups. For example, hydroxy groups, in order to prevent unwanted side reactions, generally need to be converted to protected hydroxy groups such as ethers or esters during chemical reactions at other sites in the molecule. The hydroxy protecting group is subsequently removed to provide the free hydroxy group. Amino groups and carboxylic acid groups are similarly derivatized to protect them against unwanted side reactions. Carboxy groups generally are converted to esters such as tert.-butyl ester, benzyl or p-nitrobenzyl ester, and the like. Amino groups typically are acylated, for example with acetyl chloride or the like, or silylated with trimethylsilyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl groups. Typical protecting groups, and methods for attaching and cleaving them, are described fully by Greene and Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons, New York, (2nd Ed; 1991), and McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press, New York, 1973.
Many of the isothiazolones of Formula I are capable of forming pharmaceutically acceptable salts, including acid addition salts and base salts, as well as solvates, such as hydrates and alcoholates. All of these pharmaceutical forms are contemplated by this invention and are included herein. Acid addition salts are readily formed when a Formula I compound contains amino substituent groups, or nitrogen atoms are present in the A ring system. Base salts can be formed when carboxylic acid substituent groups are present, for example, when R.sup.5 is a carboxy substituted alkyl such as carboxymethyl or the like.
Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of Formula I include salts derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric, hydrobromic, hydriodic, phosphoric, and the like, as well as the salts derived from organic acids, such as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. Such salts thus include sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, nitrate, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, chloride, bromide, iodide, acetate, propionate, caprylate, isobutyrate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, suberate, sebacate, fumarate, maleate, mandelate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, phthalate, benzenesulfonate, toluenesulfonate, phenylacetate, citrate, lactate, maleate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, and the like. Also contemplated are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like and gluconate, galacturonate (see, for example, Berge S.M., et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977; 66:1-19.
The acid addition salts of basic compounds are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt in the conventional manner. The free base form may be regenerated by contacting the salt form with a base and isolating the free base in the conventional manner. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to their respective free base for purposes of the present invention.
Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Examples of suitable amines are N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, and procaine (see, for example, Berge S.M., et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977; 66:1-19.
The base addition salts of acidic compounds are prepared by contacting the free acid form with a sufficient amount of the desired base to produce the salt in the conventional manner. The free acid form may be regenerated by contacting the salt form with an acid and isolating the free acid in the conventional manner. The free acid forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to their respective free acid for purposes of the present invention.
Many of the isothiazolones of Formula I contain one or more asymmetric carbon atoms, and as such, can exist in optically active forms. For example, a preferred group of compounds are those wherein R.sup.5 is a residue of an .alpha.-amino acid such as alanine, valine, leucine, threonine, and the like. Such groups have one or more asymmetric centers. The racemates can be separated into their respective enantiomers by routine methodology, including fractional crystallization, high performance liquid chromatograph, asymmetric synthesis, and the like. The racemates and individual enantiomers are contemplated equally by this invention.
While the forms of the invention herein constitute presently preferred embodiments, many others are possible. It is not intended herein to mention all of the possible equivalent forms or ramifications of the invention. It is understood that the terms used herein are merely descriptive rather than limiting, and that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
The following detailed examples illustrate specific embodiments of the invention. The examples are intended to be a general illustration of how to make and use the invention, and are not intended to be limiting in any respect.
Unless otherwise stated, all reagents were obtained from commercial sources. Many of the aryl thiol carboxamides which are utilized as starting materials are known or are available by the methods described, for example, by Bell, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1942:2905, Carmellino, et al., Eur. J. Med. Chem., 1994;29:743-751, Bennett, et al., Organic Prep. and Proced. Int., 1974;6(6):287-293 and Vitali, et al., Il Farmaco Ed. Sc., 1968;23:468-476.

The compounds of the present invention cause the extrusion of zinc from the nucleocapsid protein (NCp7) of HIV-1. The NC protein is highly conserved among all retroviruses (South T., Blake P., et al., Biochemistry, 1990;;29:7786) and is essential for viral infectivity (Aldovini A. and Young R., J. Virology, 1990;64:1920 and Gorelick R., Nigida S., et al., J. Virology, 1990;64:3207). The zinc is normally held in NC proteins by 1 or 2 zinc fingers. In the case of HIV-1, 2 zinc fingers are present (Summers M., South T., et al., Biochemistry, 1990;29:329) and are involved specifically with the PSI site on viral RNA which controls the packaging of viral RNA. Interference of this packaging causes the formation of non-infectious virions (Dannull J., Surovoy A., et al., EMBO, 1994;13:1525). It has previously been shown that compounds that cause zinc extrusion have potent anti-HIV activity in multiple cell lines and against all retroviruses (Rice W., Schaeffer C., et al., Nature, 1993;361:473).
A fluorescence-based assay has been developed to monitor the ejection of zinc from purified HIV-1 NCp7. The fluorophore, N-(6-methoxy-8-quinolyl)-p-toluenesulfonamide (TSQ), has an increased fluorescent signal upon bonding zinc ion in solution. The NCp7 protein containing 2 Zn-fingers and 2 Zn ions is incubated with drug causing the extrusion of Zn ions. The released Zn is then sequestered by the TSQ and the increased fluorescence monitored relative to control. The assay was performed as follows: 10 .mu.M compound was added to 2.8 .mu.M NCp7 and 47 .mu.M TSQ in 20 .mu.L of pH 7.4 buffer at 26.degree. C. for 90 minutes. Fluorescence (excitation 355 nM emission 400 nM) was monitored versus time. Controls were the NCp7 under assay conditions without drug, and apo NCp7 (no Zn) with drug. The % Zn extrusion was calculated based on the actual fluorescence measured divided by the fluorescence of all theoretical Zn extruded (5.6 .mu.M).times.100.
Electrospray ionization mass spectral analysis was also performed. Using 40 .mu.M NCp7 in ammonium acetate buffer at pH 6, 320 .mu.M 4-(3-oxo-3h-benzo�d!isothiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (Example 1) in acetonitrile was added. After 3 minutes, a mass peak at 6360 (100%) corresponding to apo NCp7 (loss of 2 Zn) appeared. In addition, a peak at 6740 corresponding to the NCp7+308 + Zn appeared. This peak represents the NCp7 with one zinc extruded and a covalently attached compound of 308 MW corresponding exactly to the MW of Example 1 indicating the extrusion of zinc and the formation of a covalent bond between the cysteine of the zinc finger and the isothiazolone.
The test systems utilized to establish the cellular antiviral activity of the isothiazolones of Formula I are well recognized in the art and are routinely employed for such purpose. For example, the assay utilized to evaluate the compounds activity against the HIV virus is that employed by the U.S. National Cancer Institute as described by Weislow O. S., et al., J. Natl. Cancer Inst., .1989;81:577-586, incorporated herein by reference.
The procedure is designed to detect agents acting at any stage of the virus reproductive cycle. The assay basically involves the killing of T4 lymphocytes by HIV. Small amounts of HIV are added to cells, and at least two complete cycles of virus reproduction are necessary to obtain the required cell killing. Agents which interact with virions, cells, or virus gene-products to interfere with viral activities will protect cells from cytolysis. The system is automated in several features to accommodate large numbers of candidate agents, and is generally designed to detect anti-HIV activity. However, compounds which degenerate or are rapidly metabolized in the culture conditions may not show activity in this screen.
Another test system utilized to evaluate the invention compounds is called HIV H9 assay. The HIV H9 cell assay measures the inhibitor concentration required to suppress HIV-1 virus replication. In this system, viral growth occurs through multiple rounds of the life-cycle. Any suppression of the replication kinetics results in a geometric decrease in virus production. As a result, this assay is a sensitive means of measuring the ability of a compound to inhibit HIV-1 viral replication.
The H9 T-cell line is batch infected with HIV virus at an MOI of 0.01. After 2 hours absorption, the cells are washed, resuspended in RPMI-1640/10% fetal calf serum, and seeded at 5.times.10-3 cells/well of a 96-well plate. A duplicate plate of uninfected H9 cells is prepared for the cytotoxicity assay. Drugs are serially diluted 1/3.16 in DMSO, transferred to media at an 8.times. concentration, and then added to the cultures in triplicate. The final DMSO concentration of 0.002 (0.2%).
Viral production is measured by RT assay and cytotoxicity is measured by XTT assay at 7 days post-infection. The RT assay is performed as a modification of Borroto-Esoda and Boone, J. Virol., 1991;65:1952-1959 and quantitated using a Molecular Dynamics Phosphoimager with Imagequant software. The XTT assay is performed as a modification of Roehm, et al., J. Immuno. Methods., 1991;142:257-265 and quantitated using a molecular Devices Thermomax plate reader with Softmax software.
Data is electronically transferred to a Microsoft Excell spreadsheet for analysis. The RT assay values equivalent to 50% and 90% inhibition of virus production are calculated from the untreated controls. The concentrations of inhibitor required to produce these values (IC.sub.50 and IC.sub.90) are interpolated from data points flanking these RT activities. The XTT assay values equivalent to 50% cytotoxicity are calculated from the untreated controls. The concentrations of inhibitor required to produce this value are interpolated from data points flanking these XTT values.
Yet another test system employed to determine antiviral activity is called the CEM cell assay.
T4 lymphocytes (CEM cell line) are exposed to HIV at a virus to cell ratio approximately 0.05, and plated along with noninfected control cells in 96-well microliter plates.
Candidate agent is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (unless otherwise noted), then diluted 1:200 in cell culture medium. Further dilutions (half-log.sub.10) are prepared before adding to an equal volume of medium containing either infected or noninfected cells.
Cultures are incubated at 37.degree. in a 5% carbon dioxide atmosphere for 6 or 7 days. The tetrazolium salt, XTT, is added to all wells, and cultures are incubated to allow formazan color development by viable cells J. National Cancer Institute, 1989;81:577-586. Individual wells are analyzed spectrophotometrically to quantitate formazan production, and in addition are viewed microscopically for detection of viable cells confirmation of protective activity.
Drug-tested virus-infected cells are compared with drug-treated noninfected cells and with other appropriate controls (untreated infected and untreated noninfected cells, drug-contain wells without cells, etc.) on the same plate. Data are reviewed in comparison with other tests done at the same time and a determination about activity is made.

The compounds of the invention have utility against a wide range of retroviral infections, and accordingly, have broad application. Examples of possible viruses that may be suitable for treatment using the present invention include Type C and Type D retroviruses, HTLV-1, HTLV-2, FLV, SIV, MLV, BLV, BIV, equine infectious viruses, anemia viruses, avian sarcoma viruses, and the like.
The isothiazolones of Formula I are also effective for treating inflammation and atherosclerosis. A characteristic feature of atherosclerosis is the accumulation of cholesteryl ester engorged from foam cells. Foam cells are derived from circulating monocytes which invade artery walls in response to hypercholesterolemia, and mature into tissue macrophages. The enzyme 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) has been implicated in inflammatory disorders and in the origin and recruitment of foam cells (see Harats, et al., Trends Cardioivasc. Med., 1995;5(1):29-36. This enzyme is capable of oxidizing esterified polylnoic fatty acids, such as those found in phospholipids. Treatment of experimental animals with antioxidants which reduce hydroperoxides produced by 15-LO has been shown to retard the progression of atherosclerotic lesions. Accordingly, administering compounds which inhibit 15-LO is an effective way to treat and prevent atherosclerosis. The isothiazolones of Formula I are effective inhibitors of 15-LO when evaluated in standard assays routinely utilized to measure 15-LO activity. Specifically, representative compounds were evaluated by the methods described by Auerbach, et al., Analytical Biochemistry, 1992;201:375-380. Two in vitro assays were utilized, both utilizing rabbit reticulocyte 15-LO, and linoleic acid as substrate, to enzymatically produce a peroxide oxidation product known as 13(S)-HPODE. N-Benzoyl leucomethylene blue was utilized as a colorimetric reagent for detection and quantification of the peroxide formation. Also, HPLC was utilized to quantify the oxidation following incubation at 4.degree. C. for 10 minutes.
The 15-LO inhibitory activity of representative isothiazolones is presented in Tables 3 and 4. Table 3 gives the concentration of compound required to inhibit 50% of the activity of 15-LO (IC.sub.50) when measured by the HPLC method of Auerbach, et al. Table 4 gives the percent inhibition of 15-LO activity when evaluated by the calorimetric method.

The compounds of Formula I are therefore useful for treating atherosclerosis by virtue of their ability to inhibit 15-LO.
In a further embodiment of this invention, the compounds can be formulated into compositions suitable for applying to surfaces such as wood, metal, ceramic, and the like, and for administering to animals, including humans, for treating and preventing diseases caused by viruses, as well as inflammation and atherosclerosis. The compounds can be formulated for administration by any route, for instance orally, parenterally, topically, and rectally. For oral administration, for example, an invention compound can be mixed with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or it may be enclosed in a hard or soft shell gelatin capsule, or it may be compressed into tablets, or it may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 1% by weight of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 5% to about 80% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a therapeutically effective dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions or preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit form contains between about 5 and 1000 mg of active compound, and ideally about 25 to about 750 mg.
The tablets, troches, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain common pharmaceutical excipients such as binders, sweeteners, and the like. Typical binders include gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch, and gelatin, as well as excipients such as dicalcium phosphate. Typical disintegrating agents include corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid, and the like. A commonly used lubricant is magnesium stearate. Typical sweetening agents are sucrose, lactose, or saccharin, and flavoring agents such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry flavoring can be utilized. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar, or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye, and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any dosage unit form should be pharmaceutically pure and substantially nontoxic in the amounts employed.
The isothiazolone compounds of the invention can also be formulated for topical administration, for instance as patches, salves, creams, ointments, and the like. Agents commonly utilized to enhance transdermal passage can also be employed. The compounds can also be formulated with waxes and the like for convenient rectal administration.
The active compound may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations may contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, a polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin; by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants the prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredient into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and the freeze-drying technique which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.
As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutical active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the mammalian subjects to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the novel dosage unit forms of the invention are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the active material and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active material for the treatment of disease in living subjects having a diseased condition in which bodily health is impaired as herein disclosed in detail.
The principal active ingredient is compounded for convenient and effective administration in effective amounts with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in dosage unit form as hereinbefore disclosed. The term "effective amount" means that quantity of isothiazolone which has a positive therapeutic effect for treating the viral infection, the inflammation, or the atherosclerosis which affects the mammal to be treated. A unit dosage form can, for example, contain the principal active compound in amounts ranging from about 5 to about 1000 mg, with from about 25 to about 750 mg being preferred. A typical dose will be about 50 to about 500 mg. In the case of compositions containing supplementary active ingredients, the dosages are determined by reference to the usual dose and manner of administration of the said ingredients. The unit dosages typically will be administered from one to four times per day, or as otherwise needed to effect treatment of the disease state.
In a further embodiment, the isothiazolones are utilized in combination with other agents having antiviral activity. For example, commonly used agents include acyclovir, AZT (azidothymidine, zidovudine), ribavirin, vidarabine, ganciclovir dideoxyinosine (ddI), and the like. The isothiazolones will be administered in combination with such other antiviral agents generally in their respective normal dosing regimens. The specific combinations to be utilized, the respective amounts administered, and the frequency of dosing will, of course, be determined by the attending medical technician or physician in view of the particular agents employed, the specific condition being treated, and the severity of the disease.

The active ingredients of the therapeutic compositions and the compounds of the present invention exhibit excellent anti-retrovirus activity when administered in amounts ranging from about 1.0 to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. A preferred dosage regimen for optimum results would be from about 2.0 to about 50 mg/kg of body weight per day, and such dosage units are employed so that a total of from about 0.2 to about 3.0 g of the active compound for a subject of about 70 kg of body weight are administered in a 24-hour period. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimum therapeutic response and is preferably administered one to four times a day in dosages of about 250 to about 750 mg per administration. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. A decided practical advantage is that the active compound may be administered in a convenient manner such as by the oral, intravenous (where water soluble), intramuscular or subcutaneous routes.
The active compounds can be formulated as aqueous solutions and suspensions for washing surfaces such as wood, steel, ceramic, and the like in order to eliminate and control growth due to viruses.
Another embodiment of the invention is a method for treating atherosclerosis in mammals suffering therefrom and in need of treatment. The compounds are effective in inhibiting the activity of 15-lipoxygenase, and as such can be administered to a mammal, including a human, to effectively diminish and treat atherosclerosis. The compounds will be administered at a dose which is effective to treat atherosclerosis, typically from about 1.0 to about 100 mg/kg of body weight of the subject being treated.
The compounds also are useful for treating inflammation, for example, swelling due to injuries, swelling around bones and joints, and the like. The compounds will be administered to an animal suffering from inflammation in an amount that is effective to treat the inflammation. Typical doses will be from about 1.0 to about 100 mg/kg of body weight.
