Abstract

Description
BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic is by far the worst pandemic since the 1918 Spanish flu. The etiological agent of COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2, a single-stranded positive sense RNA virus that belongs to the beta coronavirus genus (Hu, B., et al., Nat Rev Microbiol 2021, 19, 141-154). Two additional coronaviruses within the same genus, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV, have caused epidemics in humans with mortality rates of 9.6% and 34.3%, respectively. Although SARS-CoV-2 has a lower mortality rate of 2.1% compared to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, it has led to a far greater death toll due to its higher transmission (Piroth, L, et al., The Lancet Respiratory Medicine 2021, 9, 251-259). SARS-CoV-2 differs from SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in that it has a long incubation time after the initial infection (i to 2 weeks), and a large percentage of infected patients continue to shed the virus while being asymptomatic, presenting a daunting task for surveillance and containment (Bar-On, Y. M., et al., Elife 2020, 9, e57309).


Three mRNA vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNtech, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson have been approved by FDA in the United States (Li, Y., et al., A Comprehensive Review of the Global Efforts on COVID-19 Vaccine Development. ACS Central Science 2021). For small molecule antivirals, remdesivir received FDA approval on Oct. 22, 2020 (Eastman, R. T., et al., ACS Central Science 2020, 6, 672-683). Although the polymerase of SARS-CoV-2 has proof-reading function, it continues to mutate at a rate about 10−6 per site per cycle (Bar-On, Y. M., et al., Elife 2020, 9, e57309). Several variants have already emerged and widely circulated among humans since the beginning of the pandemic (Lauring, A. S.; Hodcroft, E. B., JAMA 2021, 325, 529-531). Therefore, there is a dire need for additional antivirals with a novel mechanism of action.


Antivirals are not substituents of vaccines, but rather an important complement that can be used for the treatment of infection from both wild-type (WT) and variant viruses. Among the viral proteins that have been actively pursued as SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drug targets, the main protease (Mpro) and papain-like protease (PLpro) are the most promising ones (Ma, C., et al., Cell Res 2020, 30, 678-692; and Sacco, M. D, et al., Sci Adv 2020, 6, eabe0751). Mpro and PLpro are involved in the proteolytic digestion of the viral polyproteins pp1a and pp1ab, yielding individual functional viral proteins for the replication complex formation. PLpro cleaves at three sites with the recognition sequence “LXGG↓XX” (Rut, W., et al., Sci Adv 2020, 6). PLpro has been shown to play additional roles in dysregulating host immune response and impairing the host type I interferon antiviral effect through its deubiquitinating and deISG15ylating (interferon-induced gene 15) activities, respectively (Freitas, B. T., et al., ACS Infect Dis 2020, 6, 2099-2109; Shin, D., et al., Nature 2020, 587, 657-662; and Klemm, T., et al., Embo J 2020, 39, e106275). SARS-CoV-2 PLpro cleaves ISG15 and polyubiquitin modifications from cellular proteins, and inhibition of PLP led to the accumulation of ISG15-conjugates and poly-ubiquitin-conjugates (Fu, Z., et al., Nat Commun 2021, 12, 488). While SARS-CoV PLpro prefers ubiquitinated substrates, SARS-CoV-2 PLpro prefers the ISGlyated proteins as substrates (Freitas, B. T., et al., ACS Infect Dis 2020, 6, 2099-2109; Shin, D., et al., Nature 2020, 587, 657-662; and Klemm, T., et al., Embo J 2020, 39, e106275). PLpro is part of a membrane anchored multi-domain protein named non-structural protein 3 (nsp-3), an essential component of the replicase-transcriptase complex. The pleiotropic roles of SARS-CoV-2 PLpro make it a promising antiviral drug target. Substantial morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 infection is caused by cytokine storm (Berlin, D. A.; Gulick, R. M.; Martinez, F. J., N Engl J Med 2020, 383, 2451-2460), and suppressing host immune response using dexamethasone and baricitinib has been shown to provide therapeutic benefits in the treatment of severe infections (Kalil, A. C., et al., New England Journal of Medicine 2020, 384, 795-807; and New England Journal of Medicine 2020, 384, 693-704).


Significant progress has been made in developing SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors (Ma, C., et al., Cell Res 2020, 30, 678-692; Sacco, M. D, et al., Sci Adv 2020, 6, eabe0751; Qiao, J., et al., Science 2021, 371, 1374-1378; Zhang, L., et al., Science 2020, 368, 409-412) and the Pfizer's nirmatrelvir is approved by FDA. In comparison, PLpro represents a more challenging drug target, and GRL0617 remains one of the most potent PLpro inhibitors reported to date despite several high-throughput screening and medicinal chemistry optimization campaigns (Rut, W., et al., Sci Adv 2020, 6; Freitas, B. T., et al., ACS Infect Dis 2020, 6, 2099-2109; Shin, D., et al., Nature 2020, 587, 657-66; Klemm, T., et al., Embo J 2020, 39, e106275; Osipiuk, J., et al., Nat Commun 2021, 12, 743; and Ratia, K., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 2008, 105, 16119-24). GRL0617 was originally developed as a deubiquitinase inhibitor and was later identified as a SARS-CoV PLpro inhibitor through a high-throughput screening (Ratia, K., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 2008, 105, 16119-24). As SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV PLpro share a sequence identity of 83% and similarity of 90%, GRL0617 was also repurposed for SARS-CoV-2 PLpro and it was reported to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 PLpro with IC50 values of around 2 μM and SARS-CoV-2 viral replication with EC50 values around 20 μM from multiple studies (Klemm, T., et al., Embo J 2020, 39, e106275; Fu, Z., et al., Nat Commui 2021, 12, 488; Osipiuk, J., et al., Nat (Commun 2021, 12, 743; and Gao, X., et al., Acta Pharm Sin B 2021, 11, 237-245). Currently there is a need for SARS-CoV-2 antiviral agents that can be used alone or in combination with other drugs (e.g., protease inhibitors).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following definitions are used, unless otherwise described: halo or halogen is fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo. Alkyl, alkoxy, etc. denote both straight and branched groups; but reference to an individual radical such as propyl embraces only the straight chain radical, a branched chain isomer such as isopropyl being specifically referred to.


The term “alkyl”, by itself or as part of another substituent, means, unless otherwise stated, a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon radical, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e., C1-8 means one to eight carbons). Examples include (C1-C5)alkyl, (C2-C5)alkyl, C1-C6)alkyl, (C2-C6)alkyl and (C3-C6)alkyl. Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, and and higher homologs and isomers.


The term “alkoxy” refers to an alkyl groups attached to the remainder of the molecule via an oxygen atom (“oxy”).


The term “cycloalkyl” refers to a saturated or partially unsaturated (non-aromatic) all carbon ring having 3 to 8 carbon atoms (i.e., (C3-C5)carbocycle). The term also includes multiple condensed, saturated all carbon ring systems (e.g., ring systems comprising 2, 3 or 4 carbocyclic rings). Accordingly, carbocycle includes multicyclic carbocyles such as a bicyclic carbocycles (e.g., bicyclic carbocycles having about 3 to 15 carbon atoms, about 6 to 15 carbon atoms, or 6 to 12 carbon atoms such as bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane), and polycyclic carbocycles (e.g tricyclic and tetracyclic carbocycles with up to about 20 carbon atoms). The rings of the multiple condensed ring system can be connected to each other via fused, spiro and bridged bonds when allowed by valency requirements. For example, multicyclic carbocyles can be connected to each other via a single carbon atom to form a spiro connection (e.g., spiropentane, spiro[4,5]decane, etc), via two adjacent carbon atoms to form a fused connection (e.g., carbocycles such as decahydronaphthalene, norsabinane, norcarane) or via two non-adjacent carbon atoms to form a bridged connection (e.g., norbornane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, etc). Non-limiting examples of cycloalkyls include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, pinane, and adamantane.


The term “aryl” as used herein refers to a single all carbon aromatic ring or a multiple condensed all carbon ring system wherein at least one of the rings is aromatic. For example, in certain embodiments, an aryl group has 6 to 20 carbon atoms, 6 to 14 carbon atoms, 6 to 12 carbon atoms, or 6 to 10 carbon atoms. Aryl includes a phenyl radical. Aryl also includes multiple condensed carbon ring systems (e.g., ring systems comprising 2, 3 or 4 rings) having about 9 to 20 carbon atoms in which at least one ring is aromatic and wherein the other rings may be aromatic or not aromatic (i.e., cycloalkyl.

Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994. The compounds of the invention can contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the invention, including but not limited to, diastereomers, enantiomers and atropisomers, as well as mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L, or R and S, are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and l or (+) and (−) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (−) or 1 meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer can also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which can occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The terms “racemic mixture” and “racemate” refer to an equimolar mixture of two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity.


It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that compounds of the invention having a chiral center may exist in and be isolated in optically active and racemic forms. Some compounds may exhibit polymorphism. It is to be understood that the present invention encompasses any racemic, optically-active, polymorphic, or stereoisomeric form, or mixtures thereof, of a compound of the invention, which possess the useful properties described herein, it being well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms (for example, by resolution of the racemic form by recrystallization techniques, by synthesis from optically-active starting materials, by chiral synthesis, or by chromatographic separation using a chiral stationary phase.


When a bond in a compound formula herein is drawn in a non-stereochemical manner (e.g. flat), the atom to which the bond is attached includes all stereochemical possibilities. When a bond in a compound formula herein is drawn in a defined stereochemical manner (e.g. bold, bold-wedge, dashed or dashed-wedge), it is to be understood that the atom to which the stereochemical bond is attached is enriched in the absolute stereoisomer depicted unless otherwise noted.

In cases where compounds are sufficiently basic or acidic, a salt of a compound of formula I can be useful as an intermediate for isolating or purifying a compound of formula I. Additionally, administration of a compound of formula I as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base salt may be appropriate. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are organic acid addition salts formed with acids which form a physiological acceptable anion, for example, tosylate, methanesulfonate, acetate, citrate, malonate, tartarate, succinate, benzoate, ascorbate, α-ketoglutarate, and α-glycerophosphate. Suitable inorganic salts may also be formed, including hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, bicarbonate, and carbonate salts.


Salts may be obtained using standard procedures well known in the art, for example by reacting a sufficiently basic compound such as an amine with a suitable acid affording a physiologically acceptable anion. Alkali metal (for example, sodium, potassium or lithium) or alkaline earth metal (for example calcium) salts of carboxylic acids can also be made.


The compounds of formula I can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions and administered to a mammalian host, such as a human patient in a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route of administration, i.e., orally or parenterally, by intravenous, intramuscular, topical or subcutaneous routes.


Thus, the present compounds may be systemically administered, e.g., orally, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle such as an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. They may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, may be compressed into tablets, or may be incorporated directly with the food of the patient's diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be combined with one or more 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 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2 to about 60% of the weight of a given unit dosage form. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that an effective dosage level will be obtained.


The tablets, troches, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain the following: binders such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, fructose, lactose or aspartame or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry flavoring may be added. When the unit dosage form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier, such as a vegetable oil or a polyethylene glycol. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the solid unit dosage form. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with gelatin, wax, shellac or sugar and the like. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose or fructose 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 unit dosage form should be pharmaceutically acceptable and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, the active compound may be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and devices.


The active compound may also be administered intravenously or intraperitoneally by infusion or injection. Solutions of the active compound or its salts can be prepared in water, optionally mixed with a nontoxic surfactant. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, triacetin, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.


The pharmaceutical dosage forms suitable for injection or infusion can include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions or sterile powders comprising the active ingredient which are adapted for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable or infusible solutions or dispersions, optionally encapsulated in liposomes. In all cases, the ultimate dosage form should be sterile, fluid and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. The liquid carrier or vehicle can be a solvent or liquid dispersion medium comprising, for example, water, ethanol, a polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and the like), vegetable oils, nontoxic glyceryl esters, and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the formation of liposomes, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions or 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, buffers 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 filter sterilization. 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 techniques, which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient present in the previously sterile-filtered solutions.


For topical administration, the present compounds may be applied in pure form, i.e., when they are liquids. However, it will generally be desirable to administer them to the skin as compositions or formulations, in combination with a dermatologically acceptable carrier, which may be a solid or a liquid.


Useful solid carriers include finely divided solids such as talc, clay, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, alumina and the like. Useful liquid carriers include water, alcohols or glycols or water-alcohol/glycol blends, in which the present compounds can be dissolved or dispersed at effective levels, optionally with the aid of non-toxic surfactants. Adjuvants such as fragrances and additional antimicrobial agents can be added to optimize the properties for a given use. The resultant liquid compositions can be applied from absorbent pads, used to impregnate bandages and other dressings, or sprayed onto the affected area using pump-type or aerosol sprayers.


Thickeners such as synthetic polymers, fatty acids, fatty acid salts and esters, fatty alcohols, modified celluloses or modified mineral materials can also be employed with liquid carriers to form spreadable pastes, gels, ointments, soaps, and the like, for application directly to the skin of the user.


Examples of useful dermatological compositions which can be used to deliver the compounds of formula I to the skin are known to the art; for example, see Jacquet et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,392), Geria (U.S. Pat. No. 4,992,478), Smith et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,157) and Wortzman (U.S. Pat. No. 4,820,508).


Useful dosages of the compounds of formula I can be determined by comparing their in vitro activity, and in vivo activity in animal models. Methods for the extrapolation of effective dosages in mice, and other animals, to humans are known to the art; for example, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,938,949.


The amount of the compound, or an active salt or derivative thereof, required for use in treatment will vary not only with the particular salt selected but also with the route of administration, the nature of the condition being treated and the age and condition of the patient and will be ultimately at the discretion of the attendant physician or clinician.


The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided doses administered at appropriate intervals, for example, as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day. The sub-dose itself may be further divided, e.g., into a number of discrete loosely spaced administrations; such as multiple inhalations from an insufflator or by application of a plurality of drops into the eye.


Compounds of the invention can also be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, for example, other agents that are useful for the treatment of viral infections (e.g., protease inhibitors). Examples of such agents include nirmatrelvir, ensitrelvir, molnupiravir, VV116, and remdesivir. Accordingly, in one embodiment the invention also provides a composition comprising a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, at least one other therapeutic agent, and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier. The invention also provides a kit comprising a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, at least one other therapeutic agent, packaging material, and instructions for administering the compound of formula I or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the other therapeutic agent or agents to an animal to treat a viral infection.


The invention will now be illustrated by the following non-limiting Examples.

General Coupling Procedure.

To a solution of methyl 5-bromo-2-methylbenzoate (1.0 equiv) in dry toluene in sealed tube, corresponding amine (1.5 equiv), XPhos (0.04 equiv), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0.02 equiv) and Cs2CO3 (2.0 equiv) were added. The reaction mixture was degassed and purged with argon, and then the tube was sealed and heated to 110° C. overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and was then washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Hexanes/EtOAc=1:1) to provide the desired product.

Synthetic Procedures for Scheme 3
General Procedures for the Buchwald Coupling I.

To a solution of methyl 5-bromo-2-methylbenzoate (1.0 equiv) in dry toluene in sealed tube, corresponding amine (1.5 equiv), XPhos (0.04 equiv), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0.02 equiv) and Cs2CO3 (2.0 equiv) were added. The reaction mixture was degassed and purged with argon, and then the tube was sealed and heated to 110° C. overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and was then washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Hexanes/EtOAc=1:1) to provide the desired intermediate. The intermediate was dissolved in DCM and HCl (4M in dioxane, 10.0 equiv) was added. When the starting material was consumed entirely as monitored by LCMS, the mixture was diluted with DCM, adjusted to pH=10, and then washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give a residue which was purified by Prep-HPLC to give the final product A-8 as a white solid.


General Procedures for the Ester Hydrolysis.

A solution of (A-8, 1.0 equiv) in HCl (2 M aqueous, 8 mL/gm) was stirred at 110° C. for 16 h. LCMS indicated that the starting material completely consumed, and the desired product was detected. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, basified to pH 6 using NaOH (2 M aqueous) the mixture was concentrated under vacuum to give the desired product A-9, 90% yield as a white solid.


General Procedures for the Mitsonobu Reaction.

To a solution of compound methyl 5-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoate (1.0 equiv) in dry toluene in a sealed tube corresponding alcohol (1.5 equiv) and cyanomethylene trimethylphosphorane (CMMP) (2.0 equiv) were added. The reaction mixture was degassed and purged with argon, and then the tube was sealed and heated to 110° C. overnight. When the starting material was consumed entirely as monitored by LCMS, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (DCM/MeOH=20:1) to provide the desired product A-10 as a white solid.

To a solution of (S)—N—((R)-1-(2-chloroquinolin-4-yl)ethyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (A-6) (1.0 equiv) in dioxane/H2O (4:1) in a microwave reaction vial was added 1-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (1.5 equiv) and tripotassium phosphate (1.8 equiv). The mixture was purged with nitrogen for 5 min, then XPhosPdG2 (0.1 equiv) was added. The resulting mixture was heated in the biotage microwave reactor at 140° C. for 90 min. LCMS indicated that the starting material was completely consumed. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and extracted with water and brine. The organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue for the next step without purification. The crude was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (0.1 M) and then concentrated HCl was added. The reactions were stirred at room temperature. When the starting material was consumed entirely as monitored by LCMS, solvent was removed under vacuum to give 100, which was used in the next step without purification. Yellow solid, 67% yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.24 (s, 1H), 8.16 (s, 1H), 7.97 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.84 (s, 1H), 7.71-7.61 (m, 1H), 7.48 (t, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 1.51 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 3H). 13C NMR (101 MHz, CD3OD) δ 154.15, 153.22, 149.22, 139.25, 131.74, 130.74, 129.71, 127.05, 125.64, 124.69, 123.91, 115.55, 47.10, 39.24, 24.40.

General Procedures for Amide Coupling

The corresponding acid (A-9) or (A-11) (1.1 equiv), HATU (1.1 equiv) and DIPEA (3.0 equiv) were dissolved in DMF (0.2 M) and stirred for 15 min. After that (R)-1-(2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)quinolin-4-yl)ethan-1-amine (100) (1.0 equiv) was added and stirred at room temperature overnight. When the starting material was consumed entirely as monitored by LCMS, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc and was then washed with saturated aq. NaHCO3, water, and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give a residue which was purified by Prep-HPLC to give the final product.

The mixture was purged with nitrogen for 5 min, then XPhosPdG2 (0.1 equiv) was added. The resulting mixture was heated in the biotage microwave reactor at 140° C. for 90 min. LCMS indicated that the starting material was completely consumed. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and extracted with water and brine. The organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue for the next step without purification. The crude was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (0.1 M) and then concentrated HCl was added. The reactions were stirred at room temperature. When the starting material was consumed entirely as monitored by LCMS, solvent was removed under vacuum to give 101, which was used in the next step without purification.

General Procedures for Amide Coupling

The corresponding acid (A-11) or (A-9) (1.1 equiv), HATU (1.1 equiv) and DIPEA (3.0 equiv) were dissolved in DMF (0.2 M) and stirred for 15 min. After that (R)-1-(2-(1-ethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)quinolin-4-yl)ethan-1-amine (102, 1.0 equiv) was added and stirred at room temperature overnight. When the starting material was consumed entirely as monitored by LCMS, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc and was then washed with saturated aq. NaHCO3, water, and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give a residue which was purified by Prep-HPLC to give the final product.

The reaction mixture was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and H2O (250/150 mL). The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was re-extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 30 mL MeOH, then 10 mL 1 N HCl was added to the solution at 20° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 1 h, then partitioned between ethyl acetate and H2O (250/150 mL). The organic layer was discarded, and the aqueous layer was basified with NH3·H2O to pH=9 at 0° C., followed by extraction with DCM (200 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried with anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford B-4 (1.44 mg, 65%) as a white solid.

Example 116. Biological Assays
FRET-Based PLpro Enzymatic Assay

The SARS-CoV-2 PLpro enzymatic assays were carried out as follows. The assay was assembled in 96-well plates with 100 μl of 200 nM PLPro protein in PLPro reaction buffer [50 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 0.01% Triton X-100, and 5 mM DTT]. Then, 1 μl of testing compound at various concentrations was added to each well and incubated at 30° C. for 30 minutes. The enzymatic reaction was initiated by adding 1 μl of 1 mM FRET substrate (the final substrate concentration is 10 μM). The reaction was monitored in a Cytation 5 image reader with filters for excitation at 360/40 nm and emission at 460/40 nm at 30° C. for 1 hour. The initial velocity of the enzymatic reaction with and without testing compounds was calculated by linear regression for the first 15 minutes of the kinetic progress curve. The IC50 values were calculated by plotting the initial velocity against various concentrations of testing compounds with a dose-response function in Prism 8 software. Data for representative compounds is provided in the following table.


Cytotoxicity Assay in Vero E6 Cells

Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of compounds was carried out using the neutral red uptake assay (Repetto, G., et al., Nat Protoc 2008, 3, 1125-31). Briefly, 80.000 cells/ml of the tested cell lines were dispensed into 96-well cell culture plates at 100 μl per well Twenty-four hours later, the growth medium was removed and washed with 150 μl of PBS buffer. Two hundred microliters of fresh serum-free medium containing serial diluted compounds was added to each well. After incubating for 2 days at 37° C., the medium was removed and replaced with 100 μl of DMEM medium containing neutral red (40 μg/ml) and incubated for 2 to 4 hours at 37° C. The amount of neutral red taken up was determined by measuring the absorbance at 540 nm using a Multiskan FC Microplate Photometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) The CC50 values were calculated from best-fit dose-response curves with variable slope in Prism 8. Data for representative compounds is provided in the following table.
