The present invention relates to novel betulinic acid derivatives and related compounds, compositions useful for therapeutic treatment of viral diseases and particularly HIV mediated diseases.
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has now been established as the causative agent of the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) for over 20 years (Science 1983, 220,868-871; N. Eng. J. Med. 1984, 311,1292-1297). AIDS is characterized by the destruction of the immune system, particularly of CD4+T-cells. HIV is a retrovirus, and the HIV life cycle encompasses several crucial steps, starting from the attachment of the virus to the host cell membrane and finishing with the release of progeny virons from the cell.
The natural compound betulinic acid, isolated from Syzygium clavifolium and several other plant species was found to possess anti-HIV activity. Chemical modifications were undertaken by several research groups in an attempt to identify potent anti-HIV agents by making semi-synthetic analogs of betulinic acid, leading to the discovery of bevirimat as a compound with a novel mechanism of action (J. Nat. Prod. 199457(2):243-7; J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39(5),1016). Further studies shown that bevirimat acts by disrupting Gag processing (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2003, 100(23):13555-60; Antimicrob. Agents. Chemother. 2001, 45(4),1225-30; J. Virol. 2004, 78(2): 922-9; J. Biol. Chem. 2005, 280(51):42149-55; J. Virol. 2006, 80(12): 5716-22) and to be a first-in-class maturation inhibitor with a potent activity against HIV-1. Bevirimaet went upto phase 2 clinical trials, in clinic despite optimal plasma concentrations, not all patients given bevirimat have a robust viral load reduction. It was reported that non-respondent patients had more frequent base line Gag polymorphisms near the capsid SP-1 cleavage site than responders. (HIV gag polymorphism determines treatment response to bevirimat. XVII inter national HIV drug resistance work shop Jun. 10-14, 2008, Stiges, Spain).
Encouraged by these developments, medicinal chemists started exploring betulinic acid derivatives and related compounds intensively for their therapeutic activities. For example, WO 2011153319, WO 2011153315, WO 2011007230, WO 2009082819, and WO 2009100532 disclosed novel 17 β lupine derivatives as anti-HIV agents in an attempt to overcome gag poly morphism issues mentioned above. The patent publication WO 2008057420 describes extended triterpene derivatives as antiretroviral agents; WO 2007141391 describes Betulin derived compounds useful as antiprotozoal agents; WO 2007141390 describes preparation of betulin derived compounds as antiviral agents; WO 2008127364 describes preparation of betulinic acid derivatives for use in antiviral and anticancer pharmaceutical compositions; US 20080207573 describes preparation of triterpene derivatives for therapeutic use in the treatment of viral infections; WO 2007141389 describes preparation of betulin derived compounds as antibacterial agents; US 20040204389 describes anti-HIV agents with dual sites of action; WO 2007002411 describes antiviral compounds; CN 1861627 describes antitumor agents; WO 2006053255 describes novel betulin derivatives, preparation and use thereof; WO 2009082818 describes novel C-21 keto lupine derivatives preparation and use thereof; and WO 2006105356 describes methods of manufacturing bioactive 3-esters of betulinic aldehyde and betulinic acid.
Some more references disclose betulinic acid related compounds. For example, WO 2007141383 describes betulin derivatives as antifeedants for plant pests; U.S. Pat. No. 6,670,345 describes use of betulinic acid and its derivatives for inhibiting cancer growth and process for the manufacture of betulinic acid; WO 2002091858 describes anxiolytic marcgraviaceae compositions containing betulinic acid, betulinic acid derivatives, and methods of preparation and use; WO 2000046235 describes preparation of novel betulinic acid derivatives for use as cancer growth inhibitors; WO 2007141392 describes cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising betulonic acid and betulin derivatives; and Pharmaceutical chemistry journal, 2002, 36(9), 29-32 describes synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of new acylated betulin derivatives.
Given the fact of the world wide epidemic level of AIDS, there is a strong continued need for new effective drugs for treatment of HIV infected patentis, disease conditions and/or disorders mediated by HIV by discovering new compounds with novel structures and/or mechanism of action(s).

Antiviral HIV activity and cytotoxicity of compounds present invention can be measured in parallel by following the methods published in the literature.
The cytotoxic effect of compounds can be analyzed by measuring the proliferation of cells using the 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazlium bromide (MTT) staining. Cells (5×103 cells/well) will be incubated in 96 well plates in the presence or absence of compounds. At the end of treatment, 20 μl of MTT (5 mg/ml in PBS) will be added to each well and incubated for an additional 4 hours at 37° C. The purple-blue MTT formazan precipitate will be dissolved in a triplex reagent containing 10% SDS, 5% isobutanol and 10 mmol/lit HCl. The activity of mitochondria, reflecting cellular growth and viability, will be evaluated by measuring the optical density at 570 nm on micro titer plate.
Action of compounds on replication of HIV in Sup-T cells can be determined by the method published by Roda Rani et al., 2006 (Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Volume 456, Issue 1, 1 Dec. 2006, Pages 79-92).
Briefly, 1×106 Sup-T1 cells with 100% cell viability will be seeded in RPMI 1640, 0.1% FBS four 12 well plates. Increasing concentrations of Epap-1 peptides will be added to the cells and will be infected with HIV193 IN 101 each at final concentration of virus equivalent to 2 ng of p24 per ml. The infected cells will be incubated at 37 C and 5% CO2 incubator for 2 hours. After 2 hrs the cells will be pelleted at 350 g for 10 min, supernatant will be discarded and cell will be held with RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS. The cells will be resuspended in the same medium with increasing concentrations of Epap-1 peptides and will be incubated for 96 hours. The cells will be supplemented with peptides at every 24 hours. The supernatants will be collected after 96 hours and analyzed using P24 antigen capture assay kit (SAIC Fredrick). The infection in the absence of Epap-1 will be considered to be 0% inhibition Azidothymidine (AZT) will be taken as positive control.

Briefly, cells will be seeded in to wells of 24 well plates 1 day prior to the experiment. The cells will be transfected with Tat-reporter. The virus inoculum will be adjusted to 1,000-4,000 TCID 50/ml in assay medium (DMEM, 10% FCS, glutamine and antibiotics), 50 μl aliquots will be incubated with serial dilutions of compounds (50 μl) for 1 hr at 37° C. The reporter expression will be quantified at appropriate time calculated inhibitory doses referrers to the concentration of these agents in this preincubation mixture.

The compounds described herein can be tested for their antiviral activity following procedures known to a person of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the following protocols can be employed for testing the compounds. These protocols are illustrative and do not limit to the scope of the invention.
MT2 cells were infected with HIV-1 strain 92HT599 (10 TCID 50/30000 cells). The infected cells were plated at the concentration of −30 000 cells per well in 96 well plate. Test compound was added to the micro plate in defined format with the final concentration of DMSO (vehicle) is not more than 1%. Incubation was carried out in CO2 incubator for ˜96 hours for viral infection. At the end of incubation period an aliquot from each well was taken for p24 estimation. The quantitation of p24 is an index for antiviral activity of the compound. Percent inhibition was calculated with reference to control values (vehicle controls).
p-24 estimation was carried out using Advance biosciences kit as per the procedure detailed by supplier.
Results
For cyto-toxicity assay the same amount of MT2 cells as in antiviral assay without virus was added to the 96 well plates. The cyto-toxicity was measured using MTT reagent in parallel with p24 estimation. The percent viability is calculated in comparison with vehicle control.
Results
The test item was administered through oral route to animals (rat/mice) at 30 mg/kg dose in a suitable vehicle at 10 ml/kg dose volume. Blood samples (˜50 uL at each time point) were collected from retro-orbital plexus using K3 EDTA as anticoagulant in eppendorf tubes at defined time intervals under light ether anesthesia. The samples were centrifuged at 3500×g to separate plasma and stored at −80° C. until analysis.
Sample analysis: Test samples were analyzed using LC-MS-MS after developing fit-for-purpose method for each of test compound.
