BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The oxygen and nitrogen substituted indoles described are useful in the treatment of AIDS.
2. Description of the Related Art
International Publication No. WO 87/01797 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,175,281) discloses compounds which can be visualized as steroid-piperazine-[substituted aromatic] or steroid-piperazine-[substituted heteroaromatic]. The steroid and piperazine being "connected" via the C.sub.17 side-chain of the steroid.
International Publication No. WO 88/08424 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,120,843) disclosed compounds which can be visualized as aromatic-connector-piperazine-[substituted aromatic] or aromatic-connector-piperazine-[substituted heteroaromatic], in particular see the compounds of formulas (I) and (III). None of those compounds were disclosed as having the utility set forth in this invention. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,120,843 it was disclosed that the compounds of formula (I) of International Publication No. WO 88/08424 were useful against AIDS.
An estimated one to one and one-half million people in the United States are infected with a human retrovirus, the human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) which is the etiological agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS, see Science, 661-662 (1986). Of those infected, an estimated two hundred and fifty thousands people will develop AIDS in the next five years, see Science, 1352-1357 (1985). On Mar. 20, 1987, the FDA approved the use of the compound, AZT (zidovudine), to treat AIDS patients with a recent initial episode of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, AIDS patients with conditions other than pneumocystis carinii pneumonia or patients infected with the virus with an absolute CD4 lymphocyte count of less than 200/mm.sup.3 in the peripheral blood. AZT is a known inhibitor of viral reverse transcriptase, an enzyme necessary for human immunodeficiency virus replication.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,724,232 claims a method of treating humans having acquired immunodeficiency syndrome utilizing 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-thymidine (azidothymidine, AZT).
Following the discovery of the anti-HIV activity of AZT, much effort has been focused on a wide variety of other dideoxynucleoside analogues in the search for superior agents. In the case of the 2',3'-dideoxy series, ddC and ddI have shown potent activity against HIV in vitro and have been evaluated in clinical trials, see Drug News & Perspectives, 5(3) 153-169 (1992) in particular page 160. The FDA has approved ddI for the treatment of HIV-1 infections in adults and pediatrics patients who are intolerant to, or whose health has significantly deteriorated while on, AZT treatment, see AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 8(6), 963-990, 1992 (1992) in particular page 966.
It is known in the art that certain antibiotics and polyanionic dyes inhibit retrovirus reverse transcriptase.
Many publications have reported the ability of various sulfated compounds to inhibit virus replication, including HIV.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The substituted indoles (I) of the present invention are prepared by known methods from known starting materials. The invention is the substituted indoles (I) not the methods to prepare them.
For the substituted indoles (I), it is required with regard to X.sub.1 or X.sub.2 that one, but only one, of X.sub.1 or X.sub.2 must be --H or --O--C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl.
Depending on whether the heteroatom attaching the X group to the indole is oxygen (--O--) or nitrogen (--NH--) the substituted indoles (I) are made by different procedures.
When the heteroatom is an oxygen atom, the substituted indoles (I) are prepared as set forth in CHART A. CHART A exemplifies production of file substituted indole (I) with an oxygen atom at the 6-position of the indole nitrogen, at X.sub.2. However, it should be realized the synthetic process set forth in CHART A is equally applicable when the oxygen function is at the 5-position of the indole, at X.sub.1. The synthetic process begins with the appropriate hydroxyaldehyde (II). The hydroxyaldehyde (II) then has the remaining portion of the desired X group added, by known means, to form X--O--, to produce the substituted aldehyde (III). The substituted aldehyde (III) is then reacted with .alpha.-azidomethylester, preferably the acetate to form the corresponding azide (IV). The reaction is performed in a polar solvent, preferably an alcohol such as methanol and cooled to about -10.degree.. A base such as sodium methoxide in methanol is added dropwise. The reaction is warmed to 20.degree.-25.degree. until TLC indicates the reaction is complete. The azide (IV) is transformed to the corresponding indole ester (V) by heating to reflux in a solvent such as xylene. The indole ester (V) is then hydrolyzed to the corresponding indole acid (VI). The indole acid (VI) is the coupled with the desired amine substituent (Z.sub.1 -aromatic portion) to form the substituted indole (I), see EXAMPLE 5. The desired amine substituent (Z.sub.1 -aromatic portion) are either known to those skilled in the art (in particular see International Publication No. WO 87/01797, PREPARATION A-1 thru PREPARATION A-50) or can readily be prepared be prepared frown known compounds by methods well known to those skilled in the art. The reaction of the indole acid (VI) and the desired amine substituent (Z.sub.1 -aromatic portion) is a very well known reaction. When Z.sub.1 is the molecular fragment (Z-I) which is a piperazine, the amine substituent is a secondary amine and the reaction with the appropriate indole acid (VI) produces an amide. Should the indole acid be reduced to an indole alcohol (R.sub.1 is --CH.sub.2 --), alkyl halide foraged then the substituted indole (I) will be a tertiary amine. The reaction to produce tertiary amines or amides from cyclic amines such as piperazine is very well known to those skilled in the an and requires no special mention. See International Publication Nos. WO 87/01797 and WO 88/08424.
When the heteroatom attaching the X group to the indole is a nitrogen, the substituted indoles are made by the process of CHART B. The amino indoles (VII) are known to those skilled in the an or can be readily be prepared by known means from known starting materials. The amino indoles (VII) are reacted with the sulfonyl chloride, Cl--(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --SO.sub.2 --Cl (VIII) to produce file corresponding ethylene sulfonamide (IX). The ethylene sulfonamide (IX) is then reacted with the desired amine and powdered copper catalyst under reflux to produce the desired substituted indole (I). Similarly amino indoles (VII) can be reacted with Cl--(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --SO.sub.2 --Cl to produce the 3-chloropropylsulfonamides. Alkylation with an amine would produce the desired substituted indoles. Alternatively, one can react the amino or hydroxy indole with functionalized sulfonyl chlorides, which are known in the art, such as 2-(4-pyridyl)ethane sulfonyl chloride to provide the sulfonamides or sulfonates directly.
The process used for synthesizing the substituted indoles (I) where the atom attaching the X group to the indole is nitrogen does not work well when the atom is oxygen because if one starts with the hydroxy indole corresponding to the amino indole (VII), and attempts to alkylate as is done in the synthesis of compound (III), CHART A, then nitrogen atom of the indole would be competitively alkylated. This is not a problem with sulfonylation of the amino indole (VII) because the amino group on the benzene reacts preferentially over the indole nitrogen with R--SO.sub.2 -leaving group.
The amino indole (VII) can be transformed into the desired indole (I) where X.sub.1 or X.sub.2 is a urea (R.sub.a R.sub.b --N--CO--NH-indole-) by reacting the free amino group on the indole with an isocyanate, by known means, see EXAMPLES 18-20. Another way to produce the substituted indole (I) where X.sub.1 or X.sub.2 is a urea is by reaction of the free amino group in the indole with phosgene (or a phosgene equivalent such as carbonyldiimidazole) and trapping with an amine. As is apparent to those skilled in the art, isothiocyanates or thiophosgene equivalents could be used to produce the corresponding --CS-- compounds. Likewise, reaction of the amino indole (VII) with X--SO.sub.2 --X followed by reaction with an amine produces sulfamides, R.sub.a R.sub.b N--SO.sub.2 --NH-indole-by means known to those skilled in the art.
The substituted indoles (I) where R.sub.1 is --CH.sub.2 --can be produced from the corresponding substituted indoles (I) where R.sub.1 is --CO--by reaction with a reducing agent, such as lithium aluminum hydride in an ether such as tetrahydrofuran or ether. Alternatively, one can use starting materials in which R.sub.1 is methylene rather than a carbonyl group.
It is preferred that Z.sub.l is (Z-I) where n.sub.1 and n.sub.2 are 1. It is also preferred that Z.sub.1 is (Z-II) where n.sub.1 and n.sub.2 are 1. When Z.sub.1 is Z-II it is preferred that Z.sub.2-1 is C.sub.1 alkyl.
It is preferred that R.sub.1 is --CO--.
It is preferred that R.sub.6 is --N.dbd..
It is preferred that for R.sub.8, R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 are R.sub.8 is --CR.sub.8-1 .dbd.where R.sub.8-1 is --H, where R.sub.9 is --CR.sub.9-1 .dbd.where R.sub.9-1 is --H and where R.sub.10 is --CR.sub.10-1 .dbd.where R.sub.10-1 is --H.
It is preferred that R.sub.7 is --N(R.sub.7-5)(R.sub.7-6) where R.sub.7-5 is C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkyl and where R.sub.7-6 is --H. It is preferred that R.sub.7-5 is i-propyl.
It is preferred that one of X.sub.1 or X.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of
--N(X.sub.1-7)--CO--N(X.sub.1-2)(X.sub.1-3) and
--N(X.sub.1-7)--SO.sub.2 --N(X.sub.1-2)(X.sub.1-3).
It is preferred that the other of X.sub.1 or X.sub.2 is --H or alkoxy.
It is preferred that the substituted indole (I) is selected from the group consisting of compounds of EXAMPLES 5, 9, 14-20, 28-30, 32, 34-37, 39, 40, 42, 44, 46-56, 58-61, 63-65, 69-73, 75 and 76. It is more preferred that the substituted indole (I) is selected frown the group consisting of compounds of EXAMPLES 35, 37, 42, 55 and 57; it is even more preferred that the substituted indole (I) is selected from the group consisting of compounds of EXAMPLES 35, 37 and 57. The compounds of EXAMPLES 33, 38, 67, 68 and 74 are not within the scope of claim 1 and therefore are claimed in a claim not dependent on claim 1. In addition, intermediates of EXAMPLES 1-4, 8, 10-13, 21, 31 are claimed.
The substituted indoles (I) are mines, and as such form acid addition salts when reacted with acids of sufficient strength. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of both inorganic and organic acids. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts are preferred over the corresponding free amines since they produce compounds which are more water soluble and more crystalline. The preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of the following acids methanesulfonic, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric, benzoic, citric, tartaric, fumaric, maleic, CH.sub.3 --(CH.sub.2)n --COOH where n is 0 thru 4, HOOC--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --COOH where n is as defined above.
The substituted indoles (I) are useful as inhibitors of viral reverse transcriptase, an enzyme necessary for human immunodeficiency virus replication and therefore would be useful in the treatment of such diseases as AIDS.
The term human retrovirus (HRV) indicates human immunodeficiency virus type I, or strains thereof apparent to one skilled in the art, which belong to the same viral families and which create similar physiological effects in humans as various human retroviruses.
Patients to be treated would include those individuals (1) infected with one or more than one strain of a human retrovirus as determined by the presence of either measurable viral antibody or antigen in the serum and (2) having either a symptomatic AIDS defining infection such as (a) disseminated histoplasmosis, (b) isopsoriasis, (c) bronchial and pulmonary candidiasis including pneumocystic pneumonia (d) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or (e) Kaposi's sarcoma and being less than sixty years old; or having an absolute CD4 lymphocyte count of less than 200/m.sup.3 in the peripheral blood.
The substituted indoles (I) can be given orally. Suitable dosage forms include tablets, capsules, suspensions, solutions and elixirs. An effective amount is from about 0.1 to about 500 mg/kg/day. A typical unit dose for a 70 kg human would be from about 10 mg to about 2000 rag, preferably about 100 mg to about 1000 mg taken one to six times per day.
The exact dosage mid frequency of administration depends on the particular substituted indole (I) used, the particular condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age, weight, general physical condition of the particular patient, other medication the individual may be taking as is well known to those skilled in the an and can be more accurately determined by measuring the blood level or concentration of the diaromatic substituted compounds (III), the anti-AIDS piperazines (IV) and the indoles (V) in the patient's blood and/or the patient's response to the particular condition being treated.
The substituted indoles (I) of this invention can be used in conjunction with other antiviral agents such as AZT.
The utility of the substituted indoles (I) of this invention can be determined by their ability to inhibit viral reverse transcriptase, an enzyme essential for human immunodeficiency virus replication. This enzyme has characteristics which differentiate it from other known cellular polymerases and it is a unique enzyme which is not found in uninfected cells. Viral reverse transcriptase is found in extracts from bacterial clones prepared according to the procedure described in AIDS Virus Reverse Transcriptase defined by high level expression in Escherichia coli, EMBO J. 6:3133-3137 (1987). Inhibition of this enzyme is determined in a cell free assay which measures the level of radioactive precursors incorporated into DNA. Extracts prepared according to the procedure of Science, 1125-1129 (1981) are incubated in a mixture of inhibitor, 20 mM dithiothreitol, 60 mM sodium chloride, 0.05% NP-40, 10 mM magnesium chloride, 50 mM Tris pH 8.3, 10 .mu.M [.sup.35 S]-labeled deoxynucleoside-5'-triphosphate, 10 .mu.g/ml RNA template (poly rC or poly rG) and 5 .mu.g/ml DNA primer (oligo dG or oligo dT) for 30 minutes at 37.degree. C. Incorporation of radio-labeled precursor is determined by spotting aliquots of the reaction mixture on DE81 paper, washing the papers to remove unincorporated precursor, drying and determining counts. The results (IC.sub.50 means the concentration, in .mu.M of drug, required to inhibit the reverse transcriptase activity to the extent of 50%) of various assay(s) are combined and reported as % inhibition and IC.sub.50 (calculated).
The utility of this invention is further demonstrated by the ability of the substituted indoles (I) to inhibit HIV-induced syncytia formation in a tissue culture assay using MT-2 cells infected with HIV-1. This test is described in Quantitative Infectivity Assay for HIV-1 and -2., Nature 332: 469-470, 1988 as well as in AIDS RESEARCH AND HUMAN RETROVIRUSES, Vol. 4, No. 6, pages 449-455 (1988), Mary Ann Liebent, Inc., Publishers; in an article entitled "Nucleotide Dimers Suppress HIV Expression In VITRO". The results (IC.sub.50 means the concentration, in .mu.M of drug, required to inhibit syncytia formation to the extent of 50%) of various assay(s) are combined and reported as % inhibition and IC.sub.50 (calculated). The known commercial compound, AZT, exhibited anti-HIV potency in this assay with 100 percent and 50 percent reduction in syncytia formation at concentrations of approximately 1 .mu.M and 0.5 .mu.M, respectively.
The exact dosage and frequency of administration depends on the particular substituted indole (I) used, the particular condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age, weight, general physical condition of the particular patient, other medication the individual may be taking as is well known to those skilled in the art and can be more accurately determined by measuring the blood level or concentration of the substituted indoles (I) in the patient's blood and/or the patient's response to the particular condition being treated.
DEFINITIONS AND CONVENTIONS
The definitions and explanations below are for the terms as used throughout this entire document including both the specification and the claims.
I. CONVENTIONS FOR FORMULAS AND DEFINITIONS OF VARIABLES
The chemical formulas representing various compounds or molecular fragments in the specification and claims may contain variable substituents in addition to expressly defined structural features. These variable substituents are identified by a letter or a letter followed by a numerical subscript, for example, "Z.sub.1 " or "R.sub.i " where "i" is an integer. These variable substituents are either monovalent or bivalent, that is, they represent a group attached to the formula by one or two chemical bonds. For example, a group Z.sub.1 would represent a bivalent variable if attached to the formula CH.sub.3 --C(.dbd.Z.sub.1)H. Groups R.sub.i and R.sub.j would represent monovalent variable substituents if attached to the formula CH.sub.3 --CH.sub.2 --C(R.sub.i)(R.sub.j)--H. When chemical formulas are drawn in a linear fashion, such as those above, variable substituents contained in parentheses are bonded to the atom immediately to the left of the variable substituent enclosed in parenthesis. When two or more consecutive variable substituents are enclosed in parentheses, each of the consecutive variable substituents is bonded to the immediately preceding atom to the left which is not enclosed in parentheses. Thus, in the formula above, both R.sub.i and R.sub.j are bonded to the preceding carbon atom. Also, for any molecule with an established system of carbon atom numbering, such as steroids, these carbon atoms are designated as C.sub.i, where "i" is the integer corresponding to the carbon atom number. For example, C.sub.6 represents the 6 position or carbon atom number in the steroid nucleus as traditionally designated by those skilled in the an of steroid chemistry. Likewise the term "R.sub.6 " represents a variable substituent (either monovalent or bivalent) at the C.sub.6 position.
Chemical formulas or portions thereof drawn in a linear fashion represent atoms in a linear chain. The symbol "-" in general represents a bond between two atoms in the chain. Thus CH.sub.3 --O--CH.sub.2 --CH(R.sub.i)--CH.sub.3 represents a 2-substituted-1-methoxypropane compound. In a similar fashion, the symbol ".dbd." represents a double bond, e.g., CH.sub.2 .dbd.C(R.sub.i)--O--CH.sub.3, and the symbol ".tbd." represents a triple bond, e.g., HC.tbd.C--CH(R.sub.i)--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.3. Carbonyl groups are represented in either one of two ways: --CO--or --C(.dbd.O)--, with the former being preferred for simplicity.
Chemical formulas of cyclic (ring) compounds or molecular fragments can be represented in a linear fashion. Thus, the compound 4-chloro-2-methylpyridine can be represented in linear fashion by N*=C(CH.sub.3)--CH.dbd.CCl--CH.dbd.C*H with the convention that the atoms marked with an asterisk (*) are bonded to each other resulting in the formation of a ring. Likewise, the cyclic molecular fragment, 4-(ethyl)-1-piperazinyl can be represented by --N* --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --N(C.sub.2 H.sub.5)--CH.sub.2 --C*H.sub.2.
A rigid cyclic (ring) structure for any compounds herein defines an orientation with respect to the plane of the ring for substituents attached to each carbon atom of the rigid cyclic compound. For saturated compounds which have two substituents attached to a carbon atom which is pan of a cyclic system, --C(X.sub.1)(X.sub.2)--the two substituents may be in either an axial or equatorial position relative to the ring and may change between axial/equatorial. However, the position of the two substituents relative to the ring and each other remains fixed. While either substituent at times may lie in the plane of the ring (equatorial) rather than above or below the plane (axial), one substituent is always above the other. In chemical structural formulas depicting such compounds, a substituent (X.sub.1) which is "below" another substituent (X.sub.2) will be identified as being in the alpha (.alpha.) configuration and is identified by a broken, dashed or dotted line attachment to the carbon atom, i.e., by the symbol " - - - " or " . . . ". The corresponding substituent attached "above" (X.sub.2) the other (X.sub.1) is identified as being in the beta (.beta.) configuration and is indicated by an unbroken line attachment to the carbon atom.
When a variable substituent is bivalent, the valences may be taken together or separately or both in the definition of the variable. For example, a variable R.sub.i attached to a carbon atom as --C(.dbd.R.sub.i)--might be bivalent and be defined as oxo or keto (thus forming a carbonyl group (--CO--) or as two separately attached monovalent variable substituents .alpha.-R.sub.i-j and .beta.-R.sub.i-k. When a bivalent variable, R.sub.i, is defined to consist of two monovalent variable substituents, the convention used to define the bivalent variable is of the form ".alpha.-R.sub.i-j :.beta.-R.sub.i-k " or some variant thereof. In such a case both .alpha.-R.sub.i-j and .beta.-R.sub.i-k are attached to the carbon atom to give --C(.alpha.-R.sub.i-j (.beta.--R.sub.i-k)--. For example, when the bivalent variable R.sub.6, --C(.dbd.R.sub.6)--is defined to consist of two monovalent variable substituents, the two monovalent variable substituents are .alpha.--R.sub.6-1 :.beta.--R.sub.6-2 . . . .alpha.--R.sub.6-9 :.beta.--R.sub.6-10, etc, giving --C(.alpha.--R.sub.6-1)(.beta.--R.sub.6-2)--, . . . --C(.alpha.--R.sub.6-9)(.beta.--R.sub.6-10)--, etc. Likewise, for the bivalent variable R.sub.11 --C(.dbd.R.sub.11)--, two monovalent variable substituents are .alpha.--R.sub.11-1 :.beta.--R.sub.11-2. For a ring substituent for which separate .alpha. and .beta. orientations do not exist (e.g. due to the presence of a carbon carbon double bond in the ring), and for a substituent bonded to a carbon atom which is not part of a ring the above convention is still used, but the .alpha. and .beta. designations are omitted.
Just as a bivalent variable may be defined as two separate monovalent variable substituents, two separate monovalent variable substituents may be defined to be taken together to form a bivalent variable. For example, in the formula --C.sub.1 (R.sub.i)H--C.sub.2 (R.sub.j)H--(C.sub.1 and C.sub.2 define arbitrarily a first and second carbon atom, respectively) R.sub.i and R.sub.j may be defined to be taken together to form (1) a second bond between C.sub.l and C.sub.2 or (2) a bivalent group such as oxa (--O--) and the formula thereby describes an epoxide. When R.sub.i and R.sub.j are taken together to form a more complex entity, such as are group --X--Y--, then the orientation of are entity is such that C.sub.1 in the above formula is bonded to X and C.sub.2 is bonded to Y. Thus, by convention are designation " . . . R.sub.i and R.sub.j are then together to form --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O--CO-- . . . " means a lactone in wh the carbonyl is bonded to C.sub.2. However, when designated " . . . R.sub.j and R.sub.i are taken together to form --CO--O--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -the convention means a lactone in which the carbonyl is bonded to C.sub.1.
The carbon atom content of variable substituents is indicated in one of two ways. The first method uses a prefix to the entire me of the variable such as "C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 ", where both "1" and "4" are integers representing the minimum and maximum number of carbon atoms in the variable. The prefix is separated from the variable by a space. For example, "C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl" represents alkyl of 1 through 4 carbon atoms, (including isometric forms thereof unless an express indication to the contrary is given). Whenever this single prefix is given, the prefix indicates the entire carbon atom content of the variable being defined. Thus C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkoxycarbonyl describes a group CH.sub.3 --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --O--CO--where n is zero, one or two. By the second method the carbon atom content of only each portion of the deflation is indicated separately by enclosing are "C.sub.i -C.sub.j " designation in parentheses and placing it immediately (no interesting space) before the portion of the definition being defined. By this optional convention (C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)alkoxycarbonyl has the same meaning as C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkoxycarbonyl because the "C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 " refers only to the carbon atom content of the alkoxy group. Similarly while both C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkoxyalkyl and (C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)alkoxy(C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)alkyl define alkoxyalkyl groups containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, are two definitions differ since the former definition allows either the alkoxy or alkyl portion alone to contain 4 or 5 carbon atoms while the latter definition limits either of these groups to 3 carbon atoms.
When the claims contain a fairly complex (cyclic) substituent, at the end of the phrase naming/designating that particular substituent will be a notation in (parentheses) which will correspond to the same name/designation in one of the CHARTS which will also set forth the chemical structural formula of that particular substituent.
