Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention is directed towards novel 2′,3′-cyclic carbonate-containing nucleosides and their derivatives, including 5′-monophosphate derivatives, their preparation and their uses. More specifically, the novel compounds are useful in the treatment of viral infections, including hepatitis C viral infections, as well as cancer and other diseases and disorders for which treatment with nucleoside derivatives is useful or efficacious.

2. Background Art

The following description of the background of the invention is provided to aid in understanding the invention, but is not admitted to be, or to describe, prior art to the invention. All publications are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

Hepatitis C is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the liver that may lead to cirrhosis, primary liver cancer and other long-term complications. Nucleosides are a well-recognized class of compounds shown to be effective against a variety of viral infections, including those caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HV), and herpes virus.

Nucleosides are generally effective as antiviral agents following conversion of the nucleoside to the corresponding nucleoside 5′-triphosphate (NTP). Conversion occurs inside cells through the action of various intracellular kinases. The first step, i.e., conversion of the nucleoside to the 5′-monophosphate (NMP), is generally the slow step and involves a nucleoside kinase, which is encoded by either the virus or host. Conversion of the NMP to the NTP is generally catalyzed by host nucleotide kinases. The NTP interferes with viral replication through inhibition of viral polymerases and/or via incorporation into a growing strand of DNA or RNA followed by chain termination.

Use of nucleosides to treat viral liver infections is often complicated by one of two problems. In some cases, the desired nucleoside is a good kinase substrate and accordingly produces NTP in the liver as well as other cells and tissues throughout the body. Since NTP production is often associated with toxicity, efficacy can be limited by extrahepatic toxicities. In other cases, the desired nucleoside is a poor kinase substrate so is not efficiently converted into the NMP and ultimately into the NTP.

For instance, U.S. Pat. No. 6,312,662 discloses the use of certain phosphate prodrugs for the liver-specific delivery of various drugs including nucleosides for the treatment of patients with liver diseases such as hepatitis C, hepatitis B and hepatocellular carcinoma.

For example, phosphonate or monophosphate prodrugs are compounds that breakdown chemically or enzymatically to a phosphonic acid or monophosphate or phosphinic acid group or a monoester thereof in vivo. As employed herein the term includes, but is not limited to, the following groups and combinations of these groups:

Acyloxyalkyl esters which are well described in the literature (Farquhar et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 72:324-325 (1983)).

Other acyloxyalkyl esters are possible in which a cyclic alkyl ring is formed. These esters have been shown to generate phosphorus-containing nucleotides inside cells through a postulated sequence of reactions beginning with deesterification and followed by a series of elimination reactions (e.g., Freed et al., Biochem. Pharm, 38:3193-3198 (1989)).

Another class of these double esters known as alkyloxycarbonyloxymethyl esters, as shown in formula A, where R′ is alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, alkylamino, and arylamino; R′, and R″ are independently —H, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, and heterocycloalkyl have been studied in the area of β-lactam antibiotics (Nishimura et al., J. Antibiotics 40(1):81-90 (1987); for a review see Ferres, H., Drugs of Today, 19:499 (1983)). More recently Cathy, M. S. et al. (Abstract from AAPS Western Regional Meeting, April, 1997) showed that these alkyloxycarbonyloxymethyl ester prodrugs on (9-[(R)-2-phosphonomethoxy)propyl]adenine (PMPA) are bioavailable up to 30% in dogs.

wherein R, R′, and R″ are independently H, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, and alicyclic (see, e.g., International Publ. Nos. WO 90/08155 and WO 90/10636).

Other acyloxyalkyl esters are possible in which a cyclic alkyl ring is formed such as shown in Formula B. These esters have been shown to generate phosphorus-containing nucleotides inside cells through a postulated sequence of reactions beginning with deesterification and followed by a series of elimination reactions (see, e.g., Freed et al., Biochem. Pharm. 38:3193-3198 (1989)).

wherein R is —H, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, alkylamino, arylamino, or cycloalkyl.

Aryl esters have also been used as phosphorus prodrugs (e.g., DeLambert et al., J. Med. Chem. 37(7):498-511 (1994); Serafinowska et al., J. Med. Chem. 38(8):1372-1379 (1995)). Phenyl as well as mono and poly-substituted phenyl proesters have generated the parent phosphonic acid in studies conducted in animals and in man (Formula C). Another approach has been described where Y is a carboxylic ester ortho to the phosphate (Khamnei et al., J. Med. Chem. 39:4109-4115 (1996)).

wherein Y is —H, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, alkoxy, acyloxy, halogen, amino, alkoxycarbonyl, hydroxy, cyano, and heterocycloalkyl.

Benzyl esters have also been reported to generate the parent phosphonic acid. In some cases, using substituents at the para-position can accelerate the hydrolysis. Benzyl analogs with 4-acyloxy or 4-alkyloxy group (Formula D below, wherein X≡—H, OR or O(CO)R or O(CO)OR) can generate the 4-hydroxy compound more readily through the action of enzymes, e.g., oxidases, esterases, etc. Examples of this class of prodrugs are described in Mitchell et al., J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 12345 (1992); International Publ. No. WO 91/19721.

wherein X and Y are independently —H, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, alkoxy, acyloxy, hydroxy, cyano, nitro, perhaloalkyl, halo, or alkyloxycarbonyl; and R′ and R″ are independently —H, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, halogen, and cyclic alkyl.

Thio-containing phosphonate proesters may also be useful in the delivery of drugs to hepatocytes. These proesters contain a protected thioethyl moiety as shown in Formula E. One or more of the oxygens of the phosphonate can be esterified. Since the mechanism that results in de-esterification requires the generation of a free thiolate, a variety of thiol protecting groups are possible. For example, the disulfide is reduced by a reductase-mediated process (Puech et al., Antiviral Res. 22:155-174 (1993)). Thioesters will also generate free thiolates after esterase-mediated hydrolysis Benzaria, et al., J. Med. Chem. 39(25):4958-4965 (1996)). Cyclic analogs are also possible and were shown to liberate phosphonate in isolated rat hepatocytes. The cyclic disulfide shown below has not been previously described and is novel.

wherein Z is alkylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, arylcarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, or alkylthio.

Other examples of suitable prodrugs include proester classes exemplified by Biller and Magnin U.S. Pat. No. 5,157,027); Serafinowska et al., J. Med. Chem. 38(8):1372-1379 (1995); Starrett et al., J. Med. Chem. 37:1857 (1994); Martin et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 76:180 (1987); Alexander et al., Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. 59:1853 (1994); and EP 0 632 048 A1. Some of the structural classes described are optionally substituted, including fused lactones attached at the omega position (Formulae E-1 and E-2) and optionally substituted 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolenes attached through a methylene to the phosphorus oxygen (Formula E-3) such as:

wherein R is —H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, or heterocycloalkyl; and wherein Y is —H, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, cyano, alkoxy, acyloxy, halogen, amino, heterocycloalkyl, and alkoxycarbonyl.

The prodrugs of Formula E-3 are an example of “optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl where the cyclic moiety contains a carbonate or thiocarbonate.”

Propyl phosphonate proesters can also be used to deliver drugs into hepatocytes. These proesters may contain a hydroxyl and hydroxyl group derivatives at the 3-position of the propyl group as shown in Formula F. The R and X groups can form a cyclic ring system as shown in Formula F. One or more of the oxygens of the phosphonate can be esterified.

wherein R is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl; X is hydrogen, alkylcarbonyloxy, alkyloxycarbonyloxy; and Y is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, alkoxy, alkylamino, alkylthio, halogen, hydrogen, hydroxy, acyloxy, amino.

Phosphoramidate derivatives have been explored as phosphate prodrugs (e.g., McGuigan et al., J. Med. Chem. 42:393 (1999) and references cited therein) as shown in Formula G and H.

Cyclic phosphoramidates have also been studied as phosphonate prodrugs because of their speculated higher stability compared to non-cyclic phosphoramidates (e.g., Starrett et al., J. Med. Chem. 37:1857 (1994)).

Another type of phosphoramidate prodrug was reported as the combination of S-acyl-2-thioethyl ester and phosphoramidate (Egron et al., Nucleosides Nucleotides 18:981 (1999)) as shown in Formula 3:

Other prodrugs are possible based on literature reports such as substituted ethyls, for example, bis(trichloroethyl)esters as disclosed by McGuigan, et al., Bioorg Med. Chem. Lett. 3:1207-1210 (1993), and the phenyl and benzyl combined nucleotide esters reported by Meier, C. et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 7:99-104 (1997).

The groups illustrated are exemplary, not exhaustive, and one skilled in the art could prepare other known varieties of prodrugs. Such prodrugs of the compounds of Formula I fall within this scope. Prodrugs must undergo some form of a chemical transformation to produce the compound that is biologically active or is a precursor of the biologically active compound. In some cases, the prodrug is biologically active, usually less than the drug itself, and serves to improve drug efficacy or safety through improved oral bioavailability, pharmacodynamic half-life, etc. Prodrug forms of compounds may be utilized, for example, to improve bioavailability, improve subject acceptability such as by masking or reducing unpleasant characteristics such as bitter taste or gastrointestinal irritability, alter solubility such as for intravenous use, provide for prolonged or sustained release or delivery, improve ease of formulation, or provide site-specific delivery of the compound. Prodrugs are described in The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, by Richard B. Silverman, Academic Press, San Diego (1992); Chapter 8: “Prodrugs and Drug delivery Systems,” pp. 352-401; Design of Prodrugs, edited by H. Bundgaard, Elsevier Science, Amsterdam (1985); Design of Biopharmaceutical Properties through Prodrugs and Analogs, Ed. by E. B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association, Washington (1977); and Drug Delivery Systems, ed. by R. L. Juliano, Oxford Univ. Press, Oxford (1980).

In the case of bases, “prodrugs” are preferred at the 6-position of purine analogs. Such substitution may include H, halogen, amino, acetoxy or azido or alkyl carbamoyl groups. Hydrogen substituted prodrugs at the 6-position of guanosine analogs undergo oxidation in vivo by aldehyde oxidase or xanthine oxidase to give the required functionality (Rashidi et al., Drug Metab. Dispos. 25:805 (1997)). While esterases unmask acetoxy groups, amine and halogen substituents are known to be substrates for deaminases. 6-Azido substituted compounds are also known to give the corresponding amino derivatives by the action of reductases (Koudriakova, et al., J. Med Chem. 39:4676 (1996)).

Additional examples of compounds falling within the scope of Formula I and Formula II include the following:

The compounds of the present invention incorporate a carbonate group or derivative thereof when X′ is O, S, NR²⁰, or S—O (wherein R²⁰ is H, optionally substituted alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, C_3-6 cycloalkyl, OH, OR², or O(C═O)R²¹, wherein R²¹ is H, lower alkyl or C_3-6 cycloalkyl) attached to the 2′C and 3′C positions on the ribose sugar as indicated below in the boxed portion of Formula I:

The presence of the carbonate group leads to surprisingly enhanced properties of the compounds of the present invention when compared to the same compounds without a carbonate group at the same location. The compounds of the present invention have improved pharmacological properties including one or more of the following: enhanced absorption, increased chemical stability, increased metabolic stability, and increased liver distribution.

Although not being bound to any particular mechanism, it is believed that the unexpected improvement in pharmacological properties involved one or more of the following:

a) enhanced absorption through improvements in the physical properties of the nucleoside, including one of more of the following: increased lipophilicity, decreased solvation, increased solubility, and increased dissolution in biological fluids;

b) decreased chemical instability that limits oral absorption or first pass liver exposure. The increased stability results from changes in the physical properties of the compound, including one or more of the following:

• • i) decreased chemical instability in gastrointestinal tract through decreasing the susceptibility for glycosyl bond cleavage through changes in preferred conformation and or electronics in the vicinity of the glycosyl bond;
  • ii) decreased hydrolysis in gastrointestinal tract through decreased water exposure as a result of increased lipophilicity;

c) decreased metabolic instability that limits oral absorption or first pass liver exposure. Increased stability results from changes in the physical properties of the compound that result in the compound being less susceptible to enzymes that catalyze its metabolism.

Examples of nucleoside and nucleotide degradation that can be affected by a 2′,3′-cyclic carbonate include one or more of the following:

• • i) decreased deamination by enzymes known to catalyze purine or pyrimidine base deamination. These enzymes limit absorption of certain nucleosides, especially nucleoside containing adenine- and cytidine-related analogues. Enzymes known to catalyze deamination include cytosine deaminase, adenosine deaminase and adenylate deaminase. One or more of the 2′ and more often 3′ hydroxyls of ribofuranosyl-containing nucleosides and nucleotides (e.g. with AMP deaminase) interact with protein residues (cytidine deaminase, Marquez 1984), (adenosine deaminase, Sharff, 1992). Cyclic carbonates remove both the 2′ and 3′ hydroxyl which are known to aid in catalytic efficiency.
  • ii) decreased glycosyl bond cleavage by nucleosidases. These enzymes limit absorption by catalyzing the cleavage of the C—N bond of purine, pyrimidine and other related nucleosides. For example, purine nucleoside phosphorylase which is sensitive to modifications at 3′ (Parks et al., 1981). Cyclic carbonates remove both the 2′ and 3′ hydroxyl which are known to aid in catalytic efficiency.
  • iii) decreased modification of either or both the 2′ or 3′ hydroxyl by enzymes that catalyze their oxidation to a ketone or their derivatization to products such as a glucoronide, sulphate, phosphate, or acylated analogue.

The improved properties of the carbonate compounds of the present invention make them particularly useful for the sustained delivery of nucleoside- and nucleotide-containing compounds. Standard prodrugs, such as acylated analogues of nucleosides undergo rapid hydrolysis in vivo resulting in the rapid production of the nucleoside. Compounds that cleave more slowly are useful for sustained delivery of the active drug (nucleoside or phosphorylated metabolites of the nucleoside).

The improved properties of the carbonate compounds of the present invention, including increased liver distribution/targeting, also make them particularly useful for the liver-delivery of nucleoside- and nucleotide-containing compounds. Activation of the prodrug in the liver can result in increased drug levels in the liver and improved efficacy, decreased drug levels outside of the liver and therefore improved safety, or both. Prodrugs that are efficiently activated by enzymes widely distributed throughout the body often result in wide drug distribution and in the case of nucleosides in a variety of toxicities, including for example neuropathies, myelosuppression, gastrointestinal toxicity, renal toxicity and cardiovascular toxicity.

The improved properties of the carbonate compounds of the present invention make them particularly useful for the treatment of chronic liver diseases, including viral hepatitis, primary liver cancer, cancers that metastasize to the liver, liver fibrosis, and metabolic diseases that involve pathways in the liver that are sensitive to nucleosides and phosphorylated metabolites of nucleosides, including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

The compounds of the present invention are also useful for the treatment of nucleoside and nucleotide responsive diseases including the treatment of liver diseases responsive to nucleotides which include hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and other viruses that result in viral hepatitis, primary liver cancer, secondary liver cancer. The compounds of the present invention are also useful for the treatment of diseases outside of the liver but responsive to nucleotide analogues, including viral infections, and cancer. The compounds of the present invention are also useful for the treatment of diseases outside the liver that are responsive to nucleotides and nucleoside analogues which include respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), herpes simplex type 1 and 2, herpes genitalis, herpes keratitis, herpes encephalitis, herpes zoster, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza A virus, hantann virus (hemorrhagic fever), human papilloma virus (HPV), measles, fungal infections, protozoan infections, antiplatelet therapy (P2 receptor antagonists), diabetes (e.g., compounds that bind to the adenosine receptor, P2 receptor ligands, AMP-activated protein kinase (“AMPK”) activators, cardiovascular disease (e.g., with adenosine based compounds that are agonists or antagonists for the adenosine receptor), immunostimulants (e.g., inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (“IMPDH”) inhibitors, guanosine-related compounds), inflammation (e.g., anenosine-related compounds), CNS disorders (sleep, seizure, stroke, pain all of which can be affected by, e.g., adenosine analogues).

Activation of the prodrug compounds of this invention results in the production of a nucleoside monophosphate (“NMP”). NMPs are frequently further phosphorylated inside the hepatocyte to the biologically active nucleoside triphosphate (“NTP”). Drug elimination from the hepatocyte typically entails degradation of phosphorylated metabolites back to a species capable of being transported out of the hepatocyte and into the blood for elimination by the kidney or into the bile for biliary excretion. Often with nucleoside-based drugs, the phosphorylated metabolites are dephosphorylated to the uncharged nucleoside.

Nucleosides that leak back into the systemic circulation result in systemic exposure. If the nucleoside is active systemically, e.g. through entry into virally infected cells and phosphorylation to the active species, escape of the nucleoside from the liver leads to biological activity outside of the liver (i.e. extrahepatic tissues, blood cells). In this case, prodrugs of the invention can be effective for treating diseases outside of the liver, e.g. viral infections. Since many nucleosides exhibit poor oral bioavailability due to breakdown in the gastrointestinal tract either enzymatically (e.g. deamination by adenosine deaminase) or chemically (e.g. acid instability), the prodrug can be used for oral drug delivery. Moreover, given that the prodrugs in some cases are broken down slowly relative to e.g. most ester based prodrugs, the prodrugs could advantageously result in slow, sustained systemic release of the nucleoside.

In other cases, however, systemic exposure to the nucleoside can result in toxicity. This can be minimized by selecting nucleosides that are preferentially excreted through the bile or nucleosides that are unable to undergo phosphorylation in tissues or nucleosides that undergo rapid intrahepatic metabolism to a biologically inactive metabolite. Some enzymes in the hepatocyte are present that can degrade nucleosides and therefore minimize exposure (e.g. Phase I and Phase II enzymes). One example is adenosine deaminase, which can deaminate some adenosine-based nucleosides to produce the corresponding inosine analogue. Rapid intracellular deamination of the nucleoside following its dephosphorylation to the nucleoside limits systemic exposure to the nucleoside and diminishes the risk of toxicity.

Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents including sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents, in order to provide a palatable preparation. Tablets containing the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for manufacture of tablets are acceptable. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium or sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as maize starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, such as starch, gelatin or acacia; and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. Tablets may be uncoated or can be coated by known techniques including microencapsulation to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax may be employed.

Formulations for oral use may be also presented as hard gelatin capsules where the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.

Aqueous suspensions of the invention contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients include a suspending agent, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia, and dispersing or wetting agents such as a naturally occurring phosphatide (e.g., lecithin), a condensation product of an alkylene oxide with a fatty acid (e.g., polyoxyethylene stearate), a condensation product of ethylene oxide with a long chain aliphatic alcohol (e.g., heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol), a condensation product of ethylene oxide with a partial ester derived from a fatty acid and a hexitol anhydride (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate). The aqueous suspension may also contain one or more preservatives such as ethyl or n-propyl p-hydroxy-benzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.

Oil suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, such as arachid oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oral suspensions may contain a thickening agent, such as beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents, such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid.

Dispersible powders and granules of the invention suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, a suspending agent, and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those disclosed above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, such as olive oil or arachid oil, a mineral oil, such as liquid paraffin, or a mixture of these. Suitable emulsifying agents include naturally-occurring gums, such as gum acacia and gum tragacanth, naturally occurring phosphatides, such as soybean lecithin, esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of these partial esters with ethylene oxide, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsion can also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.

Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, such as glycerol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative, a flavoring or a coloring agent.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be in the form of a sterile injectable preparation, such as a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, such as a solution in 1,3-butane-diol or prepared as a lyophilized powder. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile fixed oils may conventionally be employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid may likewise be used in the preparation of injectables.

The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. For example, a time-release formulation intended for oral administration to humans may contain 20 to 2000 μmol (approximately 10 to 1000 mg) of active material compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of carrier material which may vary from about 5 to about 95% of the total compositions. It is preferred that the pharmaceutical composition be prepared which provides easily measurable amounts for administration. For example, an aqueous solution intended for intravenous infusion should contain from about 0.05 to about 50 μmol (approximately 0.025 to 25 mg) of the active ingredient per milliliter of solution in order that infusion of a suitable volume at a rate of about 30 mL/h can occur.

As noted above, formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be administered as a bolus, electuary or paste.

A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder (e.g., povidone, gelatin, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (e.g., sodium starch glycolate, cross-linked povidone, cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein using, for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in varying proportions to provide the desired release profile. Tablets may optionally be provided with an enteric coating, to provide release in parts of the gut other than the stomach. This is particularly advantageous with the compounds of Formula I when such compounds are susceptible to acid hydrolysis.

Formulations suitable for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges comprising the active ingredient in a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; pastilles comprising the active ingredient in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia; and mouthwashes comprising the active ingredient in a suitable liquid carrier.

Formulations for rectal administration may be presented as a suppository with a suitable base comprising for example cocoa butter or a salicylate.

Formulations suitable for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing in addition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.

Formulations suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose sealed containers, for example, ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injections, immediately prior to use.

Injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described.

Formulations suitable for parenteral administration may be administered in a continuous infusion manner via an indwelling pump or via a hospital bag. Continuous infusion includes the infusion by an external pump. The infusions may be done through a Hickman or PICC or any other suitable means of administering a formulation either parenterally or i.v.

Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or unit, daily sub-dose, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of a drug.

It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend on a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the individual being treated; the time and route of administration; the rate of excretion; other drugs which have previously been administered; and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy, as is well understood by those skilled in the art.

Another aspect of the present invention is concerned with a method of inhibiting HCV replication or treating HCV infection with a compound of the present invention in combination with one or more agents useful for treating HCV infection. Such agents active against HCV include, but are not limited to, ribavirin, levovirin, viramidine, thymosin alpha-1, interferon-β, interferon-α, pegylated interferon-α (peginterferon-α), a combination of interferon-α and ribavirin, a combination of peginterferon-α and ribavirin, a combination of interferon-α and levovirin, and a combination of peginterferon-α and levovirin. Interferon-α includes, but is not limited to, recombinant interferon-α2a (such as Roferon interferon available from Hoffmann-LaRoche, Nutley, N.J.), pegylated interferon-α2a (Pegasys™), interferon-α2b (such as Intron-A interferon available from Schering Corp., Kenilworth, N.J.), pegylated interferon-α2b (Peglntron™), a recombinant consensus interferon (such as interferon alphacon-1), and a purified interferon-α product. Amgen's recombinant consensus interferon has the brand name Infergen®. Levovirin is the L-enantiomer of ribavirin which has shown immunomodulatory activity similar to ribavirin. Viramidine is a liver-targeting prodrug analog of ribavirin disclosed in International Publ. No. WO 01/60379 (assigned to ICN Pharmaceuticals). In accordance with this method of the present invention, the individual components of the combination can be administered separately at different times during the course of therapy or concurrently in divided or single combination forms. The instant invention is therefore to be understood as embracing all such regimes of simultaneous or alternating treatment, and the term “administering” is to be interpreted accordingly. It will be understood that the scope of combinations of the compounds of this invention with other agents useful for treating HCV infection includes in principle any combination with any pharmaceutical composition for treating HCV infection. When a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is used in combination with a second therapeutic agent active against HCV, the dose of each compound may be either the same as or different from the dose when the compound is used alone.

Also included within the scope of the invention is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula I, solvate, hydrate, prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one agent useful for treating a viral infection, particularly an HCV infection.

For the treatment of HCV infection, the compounds of the present invention may also be administered in combination with an agent that is an inhibitor of HCV NS3 serine protease. HCV NS3 serine protease is an essential viral enzyme and has been described to be an excellent target for inhibition of HCV replication. Both substrate and non-substrate based inhibitors of HCV NS3 protease inhibitors are disclosed in International Publ. Nos. WO 98/22496, WO 98/46630, WO 99/07733, WO 99/07734, WO 99/38888, WO 99/50230, WO 99/64442, WO 00/09543, WO 00/59929, WO 02/48116, WO 02/48172; in GB-2337262; and in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,323,180 and 6,410,531. Specific embodiments of NS3 protease inhibitors for combination with the compounds of the present invention are BILN 2061 (Boehringer Ingelheim) and VX-950/LY-570310. HCV NS3 protease as a target for the development of inhibitors of HCV replication and for the treatment of HCV infection is discussed in Dymock, B. W., “Emerging therapies for hepatitis C virus infection,” Emerging Drugs 6:13-42 (2001).

Ribavirin, levovirin, and viramidine may exert their anti-HCV effects by modulating intracellular pools of guanine nucleotides via inhibition of the intracellular enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (“IMPDH”). IMPDH is the rate-limiting enzyme on the biosynthetic route in de novo guanine nucleotide biosynthesis. Ribavirin is readily phosphorylated intracellularly and the monophosphate derivative is an inhibitor of IMPDH. Thus, inhibition of IMPDH represents another useful target for the discovery of inhibitors of HCV replication. Therefore, the compounds of the present invention may also be administered in combination with an inhibitor of IMPDH, such as VX-497 (merimepodib), which is disclosed in International Publ. Nos. WO 97/41211 and WO 01/00622 (assigned to Vertex); another IMPDH inhibitor, such as that disclosed in International Publ. No. WO 00/25780 (assigned to Bristol-Myers Squibb); or mycophenolate mofetil (see Allison, A. C. and Eugui, E. M., Agents Action 44 (Suppl):165 (1993)).

For the treatment of HCV infection, the compounds of the present invention may also be administered in combination with the antiviral agent amantadine (1-aminoadarnantane) and its hydrochloride salt (for a comprehensive description of this agent, see Kirschbaum, J., Anal. Profiles Drug Subs. 12:1-36 (1983)).

The compounds of the present invention may also be combined for the treatment of HCV infection with antiviral 1-C, 2′-C—, or 3′-C-branched ribonucleosides disclosed in R. E. Harry-O'kuru, et al., J. Org. Chem. 62:1754-1759 (1997); M. S. Wolfe, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 36:7611-7614 (1995); U.S. Pat. No. 3,480,613 (Nov. 25, 1969); International Publ. No. WO 01/90121 (29 Nov. 2001); International Publ. No. WO 01/92282 (6 Dec. 2001); and International Publ. No. WO 02/32920 (25 Apr. 2002); the contents of each of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Such branched ribonucleosides include, but are not limited to, 2′-C-methylcytidine, 2′-C-methyluridine, 2′-C-methyladenosine, 2′-C-methylguanosine, and 9-(2-C-methyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2,6-diaminopurine, and prodrugs thereof.

The compounds of the present invention may also be combined for the treatment of HCV infection with other nucleosides having anti-HCV properties, such as those disclosed in International Publ. No. WO 02/51425 (4 Jul. 2002), assigned to Mitsubishi Pharma Corp.; International Publ. Nos.WO 01/79246, WO 02/32920 (25 Apr. 2002), and WO 02/48165 (20 Jun. 2002), assigned to Pharmasset, Ltd.; International Publ. No. WO 01/68663 (20 Sep. 2001), assigned to ICN Pharmaceuticals; International Publ. No. WO 99/43691 (2 Sep. 1999); International Publ. No. WO 02/18404 (7 Mar. 2002), assigned to Hoffmann-LaRoche; U.S. 2002/0019363 (14 Feb. 2002); International Publ. No. WO 02/057287 (25 Jul. 2002), assigned to Merck & Co. and Isis Pharmaceuticals; and International Publ. No. WO 02/057425 (25 Jul. 2002), assigned to Merck & Co. and Isis Pharmaceuticals.

The compounds of the present invention may also be combined for the treatment of HCV infection with non-nucleoside inhibitors of HCV polymerase such as those disclosed in International Publ. No. WO 01/77091 (18 Oct. 2001), assigned to Tularik, Inc.; International Publ. No. WO 01/47883 (5 Jul. 2001), assigned to Japan Tobacco, Inc.; International Publ. No. WO 02/04425 (17 Jan. 2002), assigned to Boehringer Ingelheim; International Publ. No. WO 02/06246 (24 Jan. 2002), assigned to Istituto di Ricerche di Biologia Moleculare P. Angeletti S. P. A.; and International Publ. No. WO 02/20497 (3 Mar. 2002). International Publ. No. WO 01/47883 discloses a large number of benzimidazole derivatives, such as JTK-003, which is claimed to be an orally active inhibitor of NS5B that is currently undergoing clinical evaluation.

Synthesis of Nucleoside Compound Derivatives

The following description provides procedures for synthesizing 2′,3′-cyclic carbonate NMP prodrugs of the present invention and is organized into three sections: (1) synthesis of 2′,3′-carbonates, (2) synthesis of phosphorylation precursors, and (3) synthesis of NMP prodrugs.

Synthesis of 2′,3′-cyclic Carbonate of Nucleoside Derivatives:

Synthesis of 2′,3′-carbonate of nucleoside derivatives of formula I may be organized into two following sections: (i) synthesis of 2′,3′-carbonate of nucleoside analogs; and (ii) synthesis of 2′,3′-carbonate of nucleotide analogs.

(i) Synthesis of 2′,3′ Cyclic Carbonate of Nucleoside Analogs:

Synthesis of 2′,3′-carbonate of nucleoside analogs may be achieved by a variety of known methods (Greene T. W., Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1999)). Following are two general routes wherein path A is an approach via carbonylation of 2′,3′-vicinal diols of 5′-hydroxy protected nucleosides and path B is an approach wherein direct carbonylation is attained on unprotected nucleosides.

Synthesis via path A includes carbonylation of nucleosides with masked 5′-hydroxy group. Protection of the 5′-hydroxy group may be attained by acid labile functionality such as silyl or trityl groups. These nucleoside derivatives containing a protected 5′-hydroxy then undergo carbonylation via a range of reagents, such as N,N′-carbonyl diimidazole (Kutney et al., Synth. Commun. 5:47 (1975)) or p-nitrophenyl chloroformate (Cook et al., J. Org. Chem. 33:3589 (1968)) under mild conditions. Such methods are applicable to a variety of nucleosides with diverse sugar as well as base substitutions. The final step of the sequence (path A) involves removal of the 5′-protective group under mildly acidic or neutral reaction conditions.

Synthesis of 2′,3′-carbonate of ribonucleoside derivatives via direct carbonylation as shown in path B can be attained without a protective group at the 5′-position. Thermal reaction of diaryl carbonates upon reaction with nucleosides in polar solvents such as DMF or N-methylpyrrolidine gives rapid conversion of nucleosides to the desired 2′,3′-carbonate derivatives (Hampton et al., Biochemistry 5:2076 (1966)). Such reactions with diphenyl carbonate were found to be accelerated by microwave mediated thermal conditions. Direct carbonylation can also be achieved with p-nitrophenylchloroformate in the case of uridine nucleoside analogs (Letsinger et al., J Org. Chem. 32:296 (1967)).

(ii) Synthesis of 2′,3′-carbonate of Nucleotide Analogs.

2′,3′-Carbonate containing nucleotide analogs may be prepared via two different protocols. These compounds can be made starting from 2′,3′-carbonate derivative of nucleosides as shown via path A or from path B from phosphorylated nucleoside analogs. As in path A, 2′,3′-carbonate derivative of nucleosides can be phosphorylated to give nucleoside monophosphate (NMP) prodrugs via phosphorylation utilizing P(EI) or P(V) intermediates (Maclman et al., Ann. Rep. Med. Chem. 39:305 (2004)). Alternatively, such prodrugs may be prepared via carbonylation as shown in path B following conditions described in the earlier section.

Synthesis of 2′3′-thionocarbonate Prodrugs:

2′,3′-Thionocarbonate containing compounds of the present invention (compounds where X′ is S) can be made by the procedures described above, by replacing carbonylation reaction with thionocarbonate formation from the earlier synthetic sequences. Several well-known methods are available for such transformation. For example, thionocarbonate formation can be achieved by treatment of vicinal diols of nucleoside derivatives by 1,1′-thiocarbonyldiimidazole (Yu et al., Org. Lett. 4:1919 (2002)) or by 1,1′-thiocarbonyldi-2(1H)-pyridone (Kim et al., J. Org. Chem. 51:2615 (1986)). Reactions of phenyl chlorothionoformate (Halila et al., Carbohydrate Res. 337:69 (2002)), or thiophosgene (He et al., J. Org. Chem. 65:7627 (2000)) are also known to convert vicinal 1,2-diols to corresponding thionocarbonates. Such mild reaction conditions can be utilized to form the 2′,3′-thionocarbonate functionality at any desired stage of prodrug synthesis.

Synthesis of Phosphorylation Precursors:

Synthesis of phosphorylation precursors is attained in two stages: 1. Synthesis of 1,3-diols; and 2. Synthesis of phosphorylation precursor.

Synthesis of 1,3-Diols:

A variety of synthetic methods are known to prepare the following types of 1,3-diols: a) 1-substituted; b) 2-substituted; and c) 1,2- or 1,3-annulated in their racemic or enantioenriched form. The V, W, Z groups of Z″ of Formula II (i.e., V, W, and Z groups of Formula II) can be introduced or modified either during synthesis of diols or after the synthesis of prodrugs.

Synthesis of 1-(aryl)-Propane-1,3-Diols:

The suitable methods to prepare 1,3-diols are divided into two types as following: 1) synthesis of racemic 1-(aryl)-propane-1,3-diols; and 2) synthesis of enantioenriched 1-(aryl)-propane-1,3-diols.

Synthesis of Racemic 1-(aryl)-Propane-1,3-Diol:

1,3-Dihydroxy compounds can be synthesized by several well-known methods from the literature. Substituted aromatic aldehydes are utilized to synthesize racemic 1-(aryl)propane-1,3-diols via addition of lithium enolate of alkyl acetate followed by ester reduction (path A) (Turner, J. Org. Chem. 55:4744 (1990)). Alternatively, aryl lithium or aryl Grignard additions to 1-hydroxy propan-3-al also give 1-(arylsubstituted)propane-1,3-diols (path B). This method will enable conversion of various substituted aryl halides to 1-(arylsubstituted)-1,3-propane diols (Coppi, et al., J. Org. Chem. 53:911 (1988)). Aryl halides can also be used to synthesize 1-substituted propane diols by Heck coupling of 1,3-diox-4-ene followed by reduction and hydrolysis (Sakamoto, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 33:6845 (1992)). Pyridyl-, quinolyl-, isoquinolyl-propan-3-ol derivatives can be hydroxylated to 1-substituted-1,3-diols by N-oxide formation followed by rearrangement in the presence of acetic anhydride (path C) (Yamamoto, et al., Tetrahedron 37:1871 (1981)). A variety of aromatic aldehydes can also be converted to 1-substituted-1,3-diols by vinyl lithium or vinyl Grignard addition followed by hydroboration reaction (path D).

Synthesis of Enantioenricbed 1-(aryl)-Propane-1,3-Diol:

A variety of known methods for resolution of secondary alcohols via chemical or enzymatic agents may be utilized for preparation of diol enantiomers (Harada, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 28:4843 (1987)). Transition metal catalyzed hydrogenation of substituted 3-aryl-3-oxo-propionic acids or esters is an efficient method to prepare R- or S-isomers of beta hydroxy acids or esters in high enantiomeric purity (Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis, Jacobsen, E. N., et al., eds., Springer (1999); Noyori, R., Asymmetric Catalysis in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley (1994)). These beta hydroxy acid or ester products can be further reduced to give required 1-(aryl)-propane-1,3-diols in high enantiomeric excess (ee). (path A). The β-keto acid or ester substrates for high pressure hydrogenation or hydrogen transfer reactions may be prepared by a variety of methods such as condensation of acetophenone with dimethylcarbonate in the presence of a base (Chu, et al., J. Het Chem. 22:1033 (1985)), by ester condensation (Turner, et al., J. Org. Chem. 54:4229 (1989)) or from aryl halides (Kobayashi, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 27:4745 (1986)). Alternatively, 1,3-diols of high enantiomeric purity can be obtained by enantioselective borane reduction of p-hydroxyethyl aryl ketone derivatives or β-keto acid derivatives (path B) (Ramachandran, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 38:761 (1997)). In another method, commercially available cinnamyl alcohols may be converted to epoxy alcohols under catalytic asymmetric epoxidation conditions. These epoxy alcohols are reduced by Red-Al to result in 1,3-diols with high ee's (path C) (Gao, et al., J. Org. Chem. 53:4081 (1980)). Enantioselective aldol condensation is another well-described method for synthesis of 1,3-oxygenated functionality with high ee's starting from aromatic aldehydes. (path D) (Mukaiyama, Org. React. 28:203 (1982)).

Synthesis of 2-Substituted 1,3-Diols:

Various 2-substituted-1,3-diols can be made from commercially available 2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propane-diol. Pentaerythritol can be converted to triol via decarboxylation of diacid followed by reduction (path a) (Werle, et al., Liebigs. Ann. Chem. 944 (1986)) or diol-monocarboxylic acid derivatives can also be obtained by decarboxylation under known conditions (Iwata, et. al., Tetrahedron Lett. 28:3131 (1987)). Nitrotriol is also known to give triol by reductive elimination (path b) (Latour, et. al., Synthesis 8:742 (1987)). The triol can be derivatized by mono acylation or carbonate formation by treatment with alkanoyl chloride, or alkylchloroformate (path d) (Greene and Wuts, Protective groups in organic synthesis, John Wiley, New York (1990)). Aryl substitution can be affected by oxidation to aldehyde and aryl Grignard additions (path c). Aldehydes can also be converted to substituted amines by reductive amination reaction (path e).

Synthesis of cyclic-1,3-diols:

Compounds of Formula II where V-Z or V-W are fused by four carbons are made from cyclohexane diol derivatives. Commercially available cis, cis-1,3,5-cyclohexane-triol can be used as is or modified as described in case of 2-substituted propan-1,3-diols to give various analogues. These modifications can either be made before or after ester formation. Various 1,3-cyclohexane-diols can be made by Diels-Alder methodology using pyrone as diene (Posner, et. al., Tetrahedron Lett. 32:5295 (1991)). Cyclohexanediol derivatives are also made by nitrile oxide-olefin additions (Curran, et. al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 107:6023 (1985)). Alternatively, cyclohexyl precursors are also made from commercially available quinic acid (Rao, et. al., Tetrahedron Lett. 32:547 (1991).)

Synthesis of Substituted 1,3-hydroxyamines and 1,3-diamines:

A large number of synthetic methods are available for the preparation of substituted 1,3-hydroxyamines and 1,3-diamines due to the ubiquitous nature of these functionalities in naturally occurring compounds. Following are some of these methods organized into: 1. synthesis of substituted 1,3-hydroxy amines; 2. synthesis of substituted 1,3-diamines and 3. synthesis of chiral substituted 1,3-hydroxyamines and 1,3-diamines.

Synthesis of Substituted 1,3-hydroxy Amines:

1,3-Diols described in the earlier section can be converted selectively to either hydroxy amines or to corresponding diamines by converting hydroxy functionality to a leaving group and treating with anhydrous ammonia or required primary or secondary amines (Corey, et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1989, 30, 5207: Gao, et al., J. Org. Chem. 53:4081 (1988)). A similar transformation may also be achieved directly from alcohols under Mitsunobu type of reaction conditions (Hughes, D. L., Org. React. 42 (1992)).

A general synthetic procedure for 3-aryl-3-hydroxy-propan-1-amine type of prodrug moiety involves aldol type condensation of aryl esters with alkyl nitrites followed by reduction of resulting substituted benzoylacetonitrile (Shih et al., Heterocycles 24:1599 (1986)). The procedure can also be adapted for formation of 2-substituted aminopropanols by using substituted alkylnitrile. In another approach, 3-aryl-3-amino-propan-1-ol type of prodrug groups are synthesized from aryl aldehydes by condensation of malonic acid in presence of ammonium acetate followed by reduction of resulting substituted β-amino acids. Both these methods enable to introduce wide variety of substitution of aryl group (Shih, et al., Heterocycles. 9:1277 (1978)). In an alternate approach, P-substituted organolithium compounds of 1-amino-1-aryl ethyl dianion generated from styrene type of compounds undergo addition with carbonyl compounds to give variety of W, W′ substitution by variation of the carbonyl compounds (Barluenga, et al., J. Org. Chem. 44:4798 (1979)).

Synthesis of Substituted 1,3-diamines:

Substituted 1,3-diamines are synthesized starting from a variety of substrates. Arylglutaronitriles can be transformed to 1-substituted diamines by hydrolysis to amide and Hofmann rearrangement conditions (Bertochio, et al., Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1809 (1962)). Whereas, malononitrile substitution will enable variety of Z substitution by electrophile introduction followed by hydride reduction to corresponding diamines. In another approach, cinnamaldehydes react with hydrazines or substituted hydrazines to give corresponding pyrazolines which upon catalytic hydrogenation result in substituted 1,3-diamines (Weinhardt, et al., J. Med. Chem. 28:694 (1985)). High trans-diastereoselectivity of 1,3-substitution is also attainable by aryl Grignard addition on to pyrazolines followed by reduction (Alexakis, et al., J. Org. Chem. 576:4563 (1992)). 1-Aryl-1,3-diaminopropanes are also prepared by diborane reduction of 3-amino-3-arylacrylonitriles which in turn are made from nitrile substituted aromatic compounds (Domow, et al., Chem Ber. 82:254 (1949)). Reduction of 1,3-diimines obtained from corresponding 1,3-carbonyl compounds are another source of 1,3-diamine prodrug moiety which allows a wide variety of activating groups V and/or Z (Barluenga, et al., J. Org. Chem. 48:2255 (1983)).

Synthesis of Chiral Substituted 1,3-hydroxyamines and 1,3-diamines:

Enantiomerically pure 3-aryl-3-hydroxypropan-1-amines are synthesized by CBS enantioselective catalytic reaction of β-chloropropiophenone followed by displacement of halo group to make secondary or primary amines as required (Corey, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 30:5207 (1989)). Chiral 3-aryl-3-amino propan-1-ol type of prodrug moiety may be obtained by 1,3-dipolar addition of chirally pure olefin and substituted nitrone of arylaldehyde followed by reduction of resulting isoxazolidine (Koizumi, et al., J. Org. Chem. 47:4005 (1982)). Chiral induction in 1,3-polar additions to form substituted isoxazolidines is also attained by chiral phosphine palladium complexes resulting in enantioselective formation of amino alcohols (Hori, et al., J. Org. Chem. 64:5017 (1999)). Alternatively, optically pure 1-aryl substituted amino alcohols are obtained by selective ring opening of corresponding chiral epoxy alcohols with desired amines (Canas et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 32:6931 (1991)).

Several methods are known for diastereoselective synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted aminoalcohols. For example, treatment of (E)-N-cinnamyltrichloroacetamide with hypochlorous acid results in trans-dihydrooxazine which is readily hydrolysed to erythro-β-chloro-γ-hydroxy-γ-phenylpropanamine in high diastereoselectivity (Commercon et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 31:3871 (1990)). Diastereoselective formation of 1,3-aminoalcohols is also achieved by reductive amination of optically pure 3-hydroxy ketones (Haddad et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 38:5981 (1997)). In an alternate approach, 3-aminoketones are transformed to 1,3-disubstituted aminoalcohols in high stereoselectivity by a selective hydride reduction (Barluenga et al., J. Org. Chem. 57:1219 (1992)).

Synthesis of Phosphorylation Precursors:

Synthesis of phosphorylation precursors is divided in to two sections: (a) synthesis of P(III) phosphorylation precursors, and (b) stereoselective synthesis of P(V) phosphorylation precursors.

Synthesis of P(I) Phosphorylation Precursors:

Phosphorylation of 5′-alcohol is achieved using cyclic 1′,3′-propanyl esters of phosphorylating agents where the agent is in the P(I) oxidation state. One preferred phosphorylating agent is a chloro phospholane (L′=chloro). Cyclic chlorophospholanes are prepared under mild conditions by reaction of phosphorus trichloride with substituted 1,3-diols (Wissner, et al, J. Med. Chem. 35:1650 (1992)). Alternatively phosphoramidites can be used as the phosphorylating agent (Beaucage, et al., Tetrahedron 49:6123 (1993)). Appropriately substituted phosphorarnidites can be prepared by reacting cyclic chlorophospholanes with N,N-dialkylamine (Perich, et al., Aust. J. Chem. 43:1623 (1990); Perich, et al, Synthesis 2:142 (1988)) or by reaction of commercially available dialkylaminophosphorochloridate with substituted propane-1,3-diols.

Synthesis of P(V) Phosphorylation Precursors:

In general, synthesis of phosphate esters is achieved by coupling the alcohol with the corresponding activated phosphate precursor for example, Chlorophosphate (L′=chloro) condensation with 5′-hydroxy of nucleoside is a well known method for preparation of nucleoside phosphate monoesters. The activated precursor can be prepared by several well known methods. Chlorophosphates useful for synthesis of the prodrugs are prepared from the substituted-1,3-propanediol (Wissner, et al, J. Med. Chem. 35:1650 (1992)). Chlorophosphates are made by oxidation of the corresponding chlorophospholanes (Anderson, et al, J. Org. Chem. 49:1304 (1984)), which are obtained by reaction of the substituted diol with phosphorus trichloride. Alternatively, the chlorophosphate agent is made by treating substituted-1,3-diols with phosphorus oxychloride (Patois, et al, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. I:1577 (1990)). Chlorophosphate species may also be generated in situ from corresponding cyclic phosphites (Silverburg, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 37:771 (1996)), which in turn can be either made from a chlorophospholane or phosphoramidate intermediate. Phosphorofluoridate intermediate prepared either from pyrophosphate or phosphoric acid may also act as precursor in preparation of cyclic prodrugs (Watanabe et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 29:5763 (1988)).

Phosphoramidates (L′=NRR′) are also well-known intermediates for the synthesis of phosphate esters. Monoalkyl or dialkylphosphoramidate (Watanabe, et al, Chem Pharm Bull 38:562 (1990)), triazolophosphoramidate (Yamakage, et al., Tetrahedron 45:5459 (1989)) and pyrrolidinophosphoramidate (Nakayama, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 112:6936 (1990)) are some of the known intermediates used for the preparation of phosphate esters. Another effective phosphorylating procedure is a metal catalyzed addition of cyclic chlorophosphate adduct of 2-oxazolone. This intermediate attains high selectivity in phosphorylation of primary hydroxy group in presence of secondary hydroxyl group (Nagamatsu, et al, Tetrahedron Lett. 28:2375 (1987)). These agents are obtained by reaction of a chlorophosphate with the amine or alternatively by formation of the corresponding phosphoramidite followed by oxidation.

Synthesis of Enantiomerically Enriched P(V) Phosphorylation Precursors:

The enantioenriched activated phosphorylating agent is synthesized by phosphorylation of an enantioenriched 1-(V)-1,3-propanediol with phosphorodichloridates of formula L-P(O)Cl₂ in the presence of a base (Ferroni, et al., J. Org. Chem. 64:4943 (1999)). Phosphorylation of an enantiomerically pure substituted diol with, for example, a commercially available phosphorodichloridate R—OP(O)Cl₂, where RO is a leaving group, preferably aryl substituted with electron withdrawing groups, such as a nitro or a chloro, produces two diastereomeric intermediates. The relative configuration of the phosphorus atom is easily determined by comparison of the ³¹P NMR spectra. The chemical shift of the equatorial phosphoryloxy moiety (trans-isomer) is always more upfield than the one of the axial isomer (cis-isomer) (Verkade, et al, J. Org. Chem. 42:1549 (1977)). These diastereomers can be further equilibrated to give a trans-2,4-substituted phosphorylating agents in presence of a base such as triethyl amine or DBU. The equilibration to complete inversion of 2,4-cis-diastereomer is also achieved in presence of appropriately substituted sodium phenoxide. The equilibration step results in greater than 95% ee of the isolated trans-phosphorylating agent.

Synthesis of Nucleosides

All nucleoside moieties of Formula I and Formula II are well described in the literature. 2′-C-methyl-adenosine and 2′-C-methyl-guanosine analogs are made by Lewis acid catalyzed reactions of the persilylated base and 1′-acetate or benzoate sugar intermediate (Walton et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 88:4524 (1966); Harry-O'Kuru et al., J. Org. Chem. 62:1754 (1997); WO 01/90121). The 7-deaza analogs are made as described earlier from 1′-bromo sugar intermediate via reaction of sodium salt of the bases (US2002-0147160A1 or WO 02/057827). The glycosylation products are subjected to deprotection and amination via ammonolysis reaction.

The nucleoside moieties and derivatives thereof of the compounds of the present invention may be synthesized by many well-established general methods described in the nucleoside literature. Several nucleosides analogs described herein are synthesized as illustrated in WO 04/046331 and by the methods cited therein. These compounds of the present invention can also be made from a wide variety of commercial bases utilizing the 2′-methyl riboglycosylation precursor (US2002-0147160A1 or WO 02/057827) via a range of well-known glycosylation reactions (Vorbruggen and Ruh-Pohlenz, Handbook of Nucleoside Synthesis, Wiley, New York (2001)). Furthermore, deaza and aza nucleoside analogs may be prepared utilizing the methods reported in the case of corresponding ribo-analogs by glycosylation with 2′-methyl glycosylation precursor (Robins, et al., Advances in Antiviral Drug Design, Vol. 1, De Clercq, ed., JAI Press, Greenwich, Conn. (1993), pp 39-85). In addition, new base analogs of the nucleosides can be synthesized by modification of the available nucleosides or via synthesis of new bases followed by glycosylation (Chemistry of Nucleosides and Nucleotides, Vols. 1-3, Townsend, ed., Plenum, New York (1988); and Nucleic Acid Chemistry, Vols. 1-4, Townsend and Tipson Eds., Wiley, New York (1986)).

Synthesis of Prodrugs via Coupling of Nucleosides and Prodrug Moiety.

The following procedures on the preparation of prodrugs illustrate the general procedures used to prepare the NMP prodrugs. Prodrug moieties can be introduced at different stages of the synthesis. Most often they are made at a later stage, because of the general sensitivity of these groups to various reaction conditions. Optically pure prodrugs containing a single isomer at the phosphorus center are made by coupling of enantiomerically enriched activated phosphate intermediates.

All the procedures described herein, where Y′ and Y″ of —P(O)Y′R¹¹Y″R¹¹ of Z″ are oxygen, are also applicable for the preparation of the prodrugs where they are NRV by appropriate substitution or protection of nitrogen.

The preparation of prodrugs is further organized into (1) synthesis via P(III) intermediates, (2) synthesis via P(V) intermediates, and (3) miscellaneous methods.

Synthesis of Prodrugs via P(III) Intermediates:

wherein Q is N or CH; and L is H and M is NH₂ or M is OH and L is NH₂.

Chlorophospholanes are used to phosphorylate alcohols on nucleosides in the presence of an organic base (e.g., triethylamine, pyridine). Alternatively, the phosphite can be obtained by coupling the nucleoside with a phosphoramidate in the presence of a coupling promoter such as tetrazole or benzimidazolium triflate (Hayakawa et al., J. Org. Chem., 1996, 61, 7996). Phosphite diastereomers may be isolated by column chromatography or crystallization (Wang, et al, Tetrahedron Lett 38:3797 (1997); Bentridge et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 111:3981 (1989)). Since condensation of alcohols with chlorophospholanes or phosphoramidites is an S_N2(P) reaction, the product is expected to have an inverted configuration. This allows for the stereoselective synthesis of cyclic phosphites. Isomeric mixtures of phosphorylation reactions can also be equilibrated (e.g., thermal equilibration) to a more thermodynamically stable isomer.

The resulting phosphites are subsequently oxidized to the corresponding phosphate prodrugs using an oxidant such as molecular oxygen or t-butylhydroperoxide (Meier et al., Bioorg, Med. Chem. Lett. 7:1577 (1997)). Oxidation of optically pure phosphites is expected to stereoselectively provide optically active prodrugs (Mikolajczyk, et al., J. Org. Chem. 43:2132 (1978). Cullis, P. M., J. Chem. Soc., Chem Commun. 1510 (1984); Verfurth, et al., Chem. Ber. 129:1627 (1991)).

Synthesis of Prodrugs via P(V) Intermediates:

For the synthesis of cis-prodrugs of Formula I and Formula II, the prodrug moiety can be introduced at different stages of the synthesis. Most often the cyclic phosphates are introduced at a later stage, because of the general sensitivity of these groups to various reaction conditions. The synthesis can also proceed through using a protected or unprotected nucleoside or nucleoside analog depending on the reactivity of the functional groups present in the compound. Single stereoisomers of the cis-prodrugs can be made either by separation of the diastereoisomers/enantiomers by a combination of column chromatography and/or crystallization, or by enantiospecific or enantioselective synthesis using enantioenriched activated phosphate intermediates.

Synthesis of Enantiomerically Enriched Prodrugs:

wherein Q is N or CH; and L is H and M is NH₂ or M is OH and L is NH₂.

The general procedure for the phosphorylation of protected nucleosides is accomplished by reacting a suitably protected nucleoside with a base and reacting the alkoxide generated with the phosphorylating reagent. The protected nucleoside can be prepared by one skilled in the art using one of the many procedures described for the protection of nucleosides (Greene T. W., Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1999)). The nucleoside is protected in such a way as to expose the hydroxyl group on which to add the phosphate group while protecting all the remaining hydroxyls and other functional groups on the nucleoside that may interfere with the phosphorylation step or lead to regioisomers. In one aspect, the protecting groups selected are resistant to strong bases, e.g., ethers, silyl ethers and ketals. In one aspect, the protecting groups are optionally substituted MOM ethers, MEM ethers, trialkylsilyl ethers and symmetrical ketals. In another aspect, the protecting groups are t-butyldimethylsilyl ether and isopropylidene. Further protection entails masking of the amino group of the base moiety, if present, so as to eliminate any acidic protons. In one aspect the selected N-protecting groups are selected from the groups of dialkyl formamidines, mono and dialkyl imines, mono and diaryl imines. In one aspect, the N-protecting groups are selected from the groups of dialkyl formamidines and mono-alkyl imine and mono aryl imine. In one aspect the mono-alkyl imine is benzylimine and the mono-aryl imine is phenylimine. In another aspect, the N-protecting group is a symmetrical dialkyl formamidine selected from the group of dimethyl formamidine and diethyl formamidine.

Generation of the alkoxide of the exposed hydroxyl group on the suitably protected nucleoside is accomplished with a base in an aprotic solvent that is not base sensitive such as THF, dialkyl and cyclic formamides, ether, toluene and mixtures of those solvents. In one aspect, the solvents are DMF, DMA, DEF, N-methylpyrrolidinone, THF, and mixture of those solvents.

Many different bases have been used for the phosphorylation of nucleosides and non-nucleoside compounds with cyclic and acyclic phosphorylating agents. For example trialkylamines such as triethylamine (Roodsari et al., J. Org. Chem. 64:7727 (1999)) or N,N-diisopropylethylamine (Meek et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 110:2317 (1988)); nitrogen containing heterocyclic amines such as pyridine (Hoefler et al., Tetrahedron 56(11), 1485 (2000)), N-methylimidazole (Vankayalapati et al., J. Chem. Soc. Perk T 1 14:2187 (2000)), 1,2,4-triazole (Talcaku et al., Chem. Lett. (5):699 (1986)) or imidazole (Dyatkina et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 35:1961 (1994)); organometallic bases such as potassium t-butoxide (Postel et al., J. Carbohyd. Chem. 19:171 (2000)), butyllithium (Torneiro et al., J. Org. Chem. 62:6344 (1977)), t-butylmagnesium chloride (Hayakawa et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 28:2259 (1987)) or LDA (Aleksiuk et al., J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Comm. (1), 11 (1993)); inorganic bases such as cesium fluoride (Takaku, et al., Nippon Kagaku Kaishi (10), 1968 (1985)), sodium hydride (Hanaoka et al., Heterocycles 23:2927 (1985)), sodium iodide (Stromberg, et al., J. Nucleos. Nucleot. 6:815 (1987)), iodine (Stromberg, et al., J. Nucleos. Nucleot. 6:815 (1987)) or sodium hydroxide (Attanasi, et al., Phosphorus Sulfur 35:63 (1988)); metals such as copper (Bhatia, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 28:271 (1987)). However, no reaction or racemization at the phosphorus stereogenic center was observed when coupling of phosphorylating reagent was attempted using the previously described procedures. Especially, no reaction was observed with bases previously used with substituted cyclic phosphorylating agent to give the corresponding cyclic phosphate in high yield such as sodium hydride (Thuong et al., Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 667 (1974)), pyridine (Ayral-Kaloustian et al., Carbohydr. Res. 187 (1991)), butyl-lithium (Hulst et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1339 (1993)), DBU (Merckling et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 2217 (1996)), triethylamine (Hadvary et al., Helv. Chim. Acta 69:1862 (1986)), N-methylimidazole (Li, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 6615 (2001)) or sodium methoxide (Gorenstein et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 5077 (1980)). It was found that the use of Grignard reagents promoted phosphorylation with minimal epimerization of the phosphorus center. In one aspect, Grignard reagents are alkyl and aryl Grignards. In another aspect, the Grignard reagents are t-butyl magnesium halides and phenyl magnesium halides. In another aspect, the Grignard reagents are t-butylmagnesium chloride and phenylmagnesium chloride.

In another aspect magnesium alkoxides are used to generate the magnesium 5′-alkoxide of the nucleoside. In one aspect magnesium alkoxides are selected from the group of Mg(O-t-Bu)₂, and Mg(O-iPr)₂.

The protected prodrugs generated as described above are then subjected to a deprotection step to remove all the protecting groups using one of the many methods known to those skilled in the art (Greene, T. W., Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1999)) and that are compatible with the stability of the phosphate prodrug. In one aspect, deprotection reagents include fluoride salts to remove silyl protecting groups, mineral or organic acids to remove acid labile protecting groups such as silyl and/or ketals and N-protecting groups, if present. In another aspect, reagents are tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF), hydrochloric acid solutions and aqueous TFA solutions. Isolation and purification of the final prodrugs, as well as all intermediates, are accomplished by a combination of column chromatography and/or crystallization.

The sequence provides methods to synthesize single isomers of compounds of Formula I and Formula II. For compounds of Formula II, due to the presence of a stereogenic center at the carbon where V is attached on the cyclic phosphate reagent, this carbon atom can have two distinct orientations, namely R or S. As such the trans-phosphate reagent prepared from a racemic diol can exist as either the S-trans or R-trans configuration and results in a S-cis and R-cis prodrug mixture. The reaction of the C′-S-trans-phosphate reagent generates the C′-S-cis-prodrug of the nucleoside while reaction with the C′-R-trans-phosphate reagent generates the C′-R-cis-prodrug.

Miscellaneous Phosphorylation Methods:

Coupling of activated phosphates with alcohols is accomplished in the presence of an organic base. For example, chlorophosphates synthesized as described in the earlier section react with an alcohol in the presence of a base such as pyridine or N-methylimidazole. In some cases phosphorylation is enhanced by in situ generation of iodophosphate from chlorophosphate (Stomberg, et al., Nucleosides & Nucleotides. 5:815 (1987)). Phosphorofluoridate intermediates have also been used in phosphorylation reactions in the presence of a base such as CsF or n-BuLi to generate cyclic prodrugs (Watanabe et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 29:5763 (1988)).

Phosphoramidate intermediates are known to couple by transition metal catalysis (Nagamatsu, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 28:2375 (1987)).

Reaction of the optically pure diastereomer of phosphoramidate intermediate with the hydroxyl of nucleoside in the presence of an acid produces the optically pure phosphate prodrug by direct S_N2(P) reaction (Nakayama, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 112:6936 (1990)). Alternatively, reaction of the optically pure phosphate precursor with a fluoride source, preferably cesium fluoride or TBAF, produces the more reactive phosphorofluoridate which reacts with the hydroxyl of the nucleoside to give the optically pure prodrug by overall retention of configuration at the phosphorus atom (Ogilvie, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 99:1277 (1977)).

Prodrugs of Formula I are synthesized by reaction of the corresponding phosphodichloridate and an alcohol (Khamnei, et al., J. Med. Chem. 39:4109 (1996)). For example, the reaction of a phosphodichloridate with substituted 1,3-diols in the presence of base (such as pyridine and triethylamine) yields compounds of Formula I.

Such reactive dichloridate intermediates can be prepared from the corresponding acids and the chlorinating agents such as thionyl chloride (Starrett, et al, J. Med. Chem. 1857 (1994)), oxalyl chloride (Stowell, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 31:3261 (1990)), and phosphorus pentachloride (Quast, et al., Synthesis 490 (1974)).

Phosphorylation of an alcohol is also achieved under Mitsunobu reaction conditions using the cyclic 1′,3′-propanyl ester of phosphoric acid in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate (Kimura, et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 52:1191 (1979)). The procedure can be extended to prepare enantiomerically pure phosphates from the corresponding phosphoric acids. Phosphate prodrugs are also prepared from the free acid by Mitsunobu reactions (Mitsunobu, Synthesis, 1 (1981); Campbell, J. Org. Chem. 52:6331 (1992)), and other acid coupling reagents including, but not limited to, carbodiimides (Alexander, et al., Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. 59:1853 (1994); Casara, et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2:145 (1992); Ohashi, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 29:1189 (1988)), and benzotriazolyloxytris-(dimethylamino)phosphonium salts (Campagne, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 34:6743 (1993)). Cyclic-1,3-propanyl prodrugs of phosphates are also synthesized from NMP and substituted propane-1,3-diols using a coupling reagent such as 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in presence of a base (e.g., pyridine). Other carbodiimide based coupling agents such as 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide and the water soluble reagent, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) can also be utilized for the synthesis of cyclic prodrugs.

Phosphate prodrugs can be prepared by an alkylation reaction between the phosphate corresponding tetrabutylammonium salts and substituted-1,3-diiodopropanes made from 1,3-diols (Farquhar, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 36:655 (1995)). Furthermore, phosphate prodrugs can be made by conversion of nucleoside to the dichloridate intermediate with phosphoryl chloride in presence of triethylphosphite and quenching with substituted-1,3-propanediols (Farquharet al., J. Org. Chem. 26:1153 (1983)).

Phosphorylation can also be achieved by making the mixed anhydride of the cyclic diester of phosphoric acid and a sulfonyl chloride, preferably 8-quinolinesulfonyl chloride, and reacting the hydroxyl of the nucleoside in the presence of a base, preferably N-methylimidazole (Takaku, et al, J. Org. Chem. 47:4937 (1982)). In addition, starting from an enantiomerically pure cyclic diester of a phosphoric acid, obtained by resolution (Wynberg, et al., J. Org. Chem. 50:4508 (1985)), one can obtain enantiomerically pure phosphates.

Synthesis of compounds of Formula I, wherein Z″ is P(O)Y′R¹¹Y″R¹¹ and each R¹¹ is independently substituted by acyclic groups, Y′ and Y″ are each independently selected from the group consisting of —O—, and —NR^v— may be also attained by the procedures described above for the cyclic prodrugs.

Synthesis of 6-substituted Prodrugs:

Prodrugs at the 6-position may be prepared from the corresponding halo derivatives of the nucleosides. The prodrug substitution is made at the nucleoside stage (before 5′-prodrug formation) from the corresponding chloro or hydroxy functionalities in the case of compounds of in which B is a purine base or purine base derivative substituted at the 6-position (e.g., N₃, H, —COR, CO₂R). Synthesis of such nucleoside precursors are attained as described earlier (WO 02/057287). Preparation of these purine analogs by azido displacement (Aso et al., J. Chem Soc Perkin Trains II 8:1637 (2000)) or hydrogention (Freer et al., Tetrahedron 56:45 (2000)) are well known methods. Subsequently, these prodrug functionality substituted nucleosides are transformed to corresponding monophosphate cyclic prodrugs of Formula I or Formula II.

To a −78° C. solution of diisopropylamine (2 mmol) in THF (0.7 mm/mmol diisopropylamine) was slowly added n-butyllithium (2 mmol, 2.5 M solution in hexanes). The reaction was then stirred for 15 min at −78° C. before a solution of ethyl acetate (2 mmol) in THF (0.14 mmol ethyl acetate) was slowly introduced. After stirring an additional 30 min at −78° C., a THF solution containing the aryl aldehyde (1.0 mmol in 0.28 mL THF) was added. The reaction was then stirred at −78° C. for 30 min, warmed to room temperature and stirred an additional 2 h. After aqueous work up (0.5 M HCl), the organic layer was concentrated to a crude oil (beta-hydroxyester).

Step B:

The crude hydroxyester was dissolved in ether (2.8 mL/mmol), cooled to ice bath temperature, and lithium aluminum hydride (3 mmol) was added batch wise. The reaction was stirred allowing the cooling bath to melt and the reaction to reach room temperature. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction was cooled back to ice bath temperature and quenched with ethyl acetate. Aqueous work up (0.5 M HCl) afforded the crude diol, which was purified either by chromatography or distillation.

(ice bath). Concentrated HCl solution (300 mL of 12 M solution) was added and the mixture was vigorously stirred. The layers were separated and aqueous phase was further acidified with con. HCl (30 mL) and extracted again with t-butyl methyl ether (1.0 L). The combined MTBE extracts were washed with brine (1 L), dried (MgSO₄, 70 g), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 827 g of a yellow solid. The crude solid was slurried in hexanes (2.2 L) and transferred to a 5 L, 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer. The mixture was stirred at <10° C. (ice bath) for 1 h, then filtered, washed with hexanes (4×100 mL) and dried to constant weight (−30 in. Hg, ambient temperature, 14 h). Recovery=309 g of a pale yellow powder.

Step B: Preparation of (S)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxypropanoic Acid:

A 12 L, 3-neck round bottom flask was equipped with a mechanical stirrer and addition funnel (1 L). The flask was flushed with nitrogen and charged with 3-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-oxo-propanoic acid (275.5 g) and dichloromethane (2.2 L). A thermocouple probe was immersed in the reaction slurry and the stirred contents were cooled to −20° C. Triethylamine (211 mL) was added over 5 min. to the stirred slurry and all solids dissolved. A dichloromethane solution of (−)-β-chlorodiisopinocampheylborate (1.60 M, 1.04 L) was charged to the addition funnel, then added slowly with stirring, maintaining the temperature between −20 and −25° C. After the addition was complete (35 min), the solution was warmed to ice bath temperature (2-3° C.) and stirred for 4 h. Water (1.2 L) was added to the cloudy orange reaction mixture, followed by 3 M NaOH solution (1.44 L). The mixture was vigorously stirred for 5 min, then transferred to a separatory funnel. The layers were separated and the basic aqueous phase was washed with ethyl acetate (1.0 L). The aqueous phase was acidified with conc. HCl (300 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×1.3 L). The two acidic ethyl acetate extracts were combined, washed with brine (600 mL), dried (MgSO₄, 130 g), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 328 g of a yellow oil (the oil crystallized on standing). The solid was slurried in ethyl acetate (180 mL) and transferred to a 2 L, 3-neck round bottom flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer. The stirred mixture was cooled to <10° C. (ice bath), then diluted with hexanes (800 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at ice bath temperature for 4 h, then filtered. The collected solid was washed with 4:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate (3×50 mL) and dried to constant weight (−30 in. Hg, ambient temperature, 12 h). Recovery=207.5 g of a white powder.

Step C: Preparation of (S)-(−)-1-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,3-propanediol:

The compound was prepared as described in Example 7, Step D.

The residue was dissolved in methanol (1 mL) and analyzed by chiral HPLC (see, Example 7; Step B). ee>98%.

The Preparation of 1,3-Diols via Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation

Step A:

Beta-ketoester starting material was synthesized as described in Example 7, step A.

Step B:

A solution containing beta-ketoester (1 mmol) in either methanol or ethanol (5-10 mL/mmol ketoester) was degassed through several pump/vent (N₂) cycles at room temperature. The degassed solution was moved into a glove bag and under an atmosphere of N₂ was poured into a stainless steel bomb containing a stir bar and 1.0 mole % Ru-BINAP catalyst. The bomb was sealed, removed from the glove bag and purged with H₂ prior to stirring 18-24 h at room temperature and 150 psi H₂. After venting the hydrogen pressure, the bomb was opened and the reaction mixture was removed and concentrated. The crude beta-hydroxyester was used for hydrolysis.

Step C:

Crude beta-hydroxy ester was hydrolyzed as described in Example 7, step C.

Step D:

Optically active beta-hydroxy acid was reduced as described in Example 7, step D.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of trans-4-(aryl)-2-(4-nitrophenoxy)-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes

Example 11.1

Synthesis of trans-4-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenoxy)-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane

A solution of 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,3-propane diol (25 g, 134 mmol) and triethylamine (62.5 mL, 4421 mmol) in THF was added to a solution of 4-nitrophenyl-phosphorodichloridate (37.7 g, 147 mmol) in THE at room temperature and the resulting solution was heated at reflux. After 2 h, TLC indicated complete consumption of the starting diol and formation of the cis and trans isomers in a 60/40 ratio (HPLC). The clear yellow solution was cooled to 30° C., sodium 4-nitrophenoxide (56 g, 402 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux. After 90 min. the reddish reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and stirred at room temperature for 2 h then placed in the refrigerator overnight. The final ratio was determined by HPLC to be 96/4 trans/cis. The reaction mixture was quenched with a saturated solution of ammonium chloride and diluted with ethyl acetate. The layers were separated and the organics were washed 4 times with 0.3 N sodium hydroxide to remove the nitrophenol, then saturated sodium chloride and dried over sodium sulfate. The filtered solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give large off white needles (45 g, mp=115-116° C., purity 98 A %).

The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min before 3-chlorobenzaldehyde (20.1 mL, 178 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and quenched with saturated aq NH₄Cl (500 mL). The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×200 mL) and the combined organic extracts were washed with water and dried (anhydrous Na₂SO₄).

Synthesis of (−)-(4S)-trans-(pyrid-4-yl)-2-(4-nitrophenoxy)-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane

A 12 L round bottom flask equipped with an overhead stirrer and nitrogen inlet was charged with (S)-(−)-1-(pyrid-4-yl)-1,3-propanediol (1.2 kg, 7.83 mol) and pyridine (6 L) The mixture was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h until all the solids had dissolved. Meanwhile, a 22 L, 3-neck flask was equipped with an overhead stirrer, thermocouple, cooling bath, and nitrogen inlet. This vessel was charged with 4-nitrophenyl phosphorodichloridate (2.01 kg, 7.83 mol) and pyridine (6 L). The resulting mixture was cooled to 3.3° C. After the diol was completely dissolved (0.5 h), triethylamine (190 mL, 1.36 mol) was added and the slightly cloudy, yellow-brown solution was transferred in portions to a 2 L addition funnel on the 22 L flask. The solution was added to the cold phosphorodichloridate solution over 3.25 h. After the addition was complete, the cooling bath was drainedand stirring was continued for 3 h. During this time, a 50 L, 3-neck flask was equipped with an overhead stirrer, thermocouple, addition funnel, cooling bath (ice water) and nitrogen inlet. This flask was then charged with sodium hydride (180 g, 4.5 mol) and THF (1 L) and the addition funnel was charged with a solution of 4-nitrophenol (817 g, 5.87 mol) in THF (1 L). The nitrophenol solution was slowly added to the cold suspension of sodium hydride. After the addition was complete, the resulting bright orange suspension was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. After the diol-dichloridate reaction was judged complete the dark suspension was subjected to vacuum filtration. The glassware and filter cake (triethylamine-HCl) were rinsed with THF (1 L) and the combined filtrate and rinse were poured into the orange, sodium 4-nitrophenoxide suspension. The resulting mixture was then heated at 40° C. for 3.5 h at which time the heating mantle was turned off and the reaction was stirred an additional 11 h at room temperature. The crude reaction mixture was concentrated on a rotary evaporator at 45-50° C. at reduced pressure (oil pump). The resulting thick, black, foamy tar was dissolved in 1.5 M aq HCl (12 L) and ethyl acetate (8 L). The mixture was transferred to a 12.5-gallon separatory funnel, stirred 10 min, and the phases separated. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an additional 1.3 L of 1.5 M aq HCl. To the combined aqueous layers was added dichloromethane (8 L) and the vigorously stirred mixture was carefully neutralized with solid sodium bicarbonate. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (8 L). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate (600 g) and filtered. The solution was concentrated on a rotary evaporator until most of the solvent was removed and a thick suspension resulted. 2-Propanol (5 L) was added and evaporation continued until 4 L of distillate were collected. 2-Propanol (3 L) was added and evaporation continued until 3 L of distillate were collected. The thick slurry was diluted with 2-propanol (2 L) and the mixture stirred with cooling (ice bath) for 1 h. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with 2-propanol (2 L), and dried in a vacuum oven (−30 in. Hg, 55° C., 18 h) to a constant weight of 1.86 kg. mp 140-142° C.

A 1 liter 3-neck round bottom flask was equipped with a mechanical stirrer, addition funnel, a thermometer and a N₂ inlet. The flask is charged with S-(−)-1-(pyrid-4-yl)-propane-1,3-diol (25 g, 163.4 mmol) and ethyl acetate (250 mL) and the resulting suspension was treated slowly with a 4N HCl solution in dioxane (43 mL, 176 mmol) over a period of 15 min. After stirring for 30 min at room temperature, 4-nitrophenylphosphorodichloridate (41.81 g, 163.4 mmol) was added as a solid as quickly as possible under a positive flow of N₂. The internal temperature of the reaction mixture was adjusted to −110° C. with the help of a dry ice-acetone cooling bath. A solution of triethylamine (79 mL, 572 mmol) in ethyl acetate (100 mL) was added maintaining the reaction temperature at <−5° C. Thirty minutes after the complete addition of the triethylamine solution, the cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove triethylamine-hydrochloride salt, which is washed with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL) until the filtrate shows only faint absorption. The filtrate was evaporated down to a volume of 150-175 mL under reduced pressure. 4-Nitrophenol (7.5 g, 54.3 mmol) and triethylamine (9 mL) were added to the concentrated solution and the resulting orange reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The solid formed in the reaction mixture was collected by filtration, washed with ethyl acetate (2×25 mL) and methyl t-butyl ether (25 mL) and dried under vacuum at 55° C. to give 31.96 g of the desired product.

5′-O-[4-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-yl]-2′-C-methyladenosine

2′-C-methyl adenosine was made as described in WO 01/90121.

Step A:

General procedure for synthesis of cyclic phosphoramidites from substituted diols:

To a solution of commercially available diisopropyl phosphoramidous dichloride (1 nmol) in THF (5 mL) was added 1,3-diol (1 mmol) and triethylamine (4 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at −78° C. over 30 min. The reaction was slowly warmed to room temperature and left stirring overnight. Reaction mixture was filtered to remove salts and filtrate was concentrated to give crude product. Silica gel column chromatography provided pure cyclic diisopropyl phosphoramidite of 1,3-diol.

Step B:

General procedure for nucleoside-cyclic phosphoramidite coupling and oxidation (J. Org. Chem. 61:7996 (1996)):

To a solution of nucleoside (1 mmol) and cyclic phosphoramidite (1 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added benzimidazolium triflate (1 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 30 min at room temperature.

Example A

Conversion of Compound 31.5 to 2′-β-methyladenosine in Liver S9 from Various Species

The rate of Compound 31.5 conversion to nucleoside was evaluated in liver S9 obtained from rat, dog, monkey and human liver.

Methods:

Rat liver S9 was prepared from a freshly harvested liver homogenized in ice-cold 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. The homogenate was centrifuged in a Sorvall RC-5B Refrigerated Superspeed Centrifuge (30 minutes at 10,000 g) and the resulting supernatant used in the assays. The other S9 preparations were purchased from 1n Vitro Technologies.

Compound 31.5 was incubated in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 containing liver S9 (1-10 mg/mL protein) for up to 120 minutes in an Eppendorf Thermomixer R (37° C., 850 rpm). Aliquots of the reaction mixture were quenched with 2 volumes of ice-cold acetonitrile/0.2% formic acid (pH 3.0) at appropriate time intervals, briefly vortexed, and then immediately placed on dry ice. After all time points were taken, the samples were centrifuged in an Eppendorf microfuge (14,000 rpm, 10 minutes). The supernatant fractions were analyzed for disappearance of prodrug (and appearance of 2′-β-methyladenosine) by reverse phase HPLC on an Agilent Zorbax SB-Aq column (511m, 4.6×150 mm). The loading mobile phase buffer (Buffer A) consisted of a 9:1 ratio (v/v) of 20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.2 and acetonitrile. The column was eluted with a gradient from Buffer A to 60% acetonitrile over 16 minutes at a 1.0 mL/min flow rate. The elution of reaction components was monitored at 260 mm. Quantitation was by comparison to authentic standards prepared in liver S9 and processed in an identical fashion to the unknown samples. The rate of prodrug conversion was calculated from the linear portion of the reaction curves and expressed as nmoles converted per mg of S9 protein per minute of reaction time.

Results:

The rate of Compound 31.5 activation in liver S9 from the various species tested is shown in the table below:

             Specific activity*,
S9 Source    nmoles/min/mg
Rat liver    0.28 ± 0.03
Beagle liver 2.0 ± 0.3
Monkey liver 0.024 ± 0.003
Human liver  0.03 ± 0.005
*rate of prodrug disappearance

Conclusions:

The S9 fraction from rat, dog, monkey and human liver catalyzed the conversion of Compound 31.5 to 2′-β-methyladenosine. Liver from all four species thus expresses the enzymatic machinery required for carbonate prodrug conversion.

Example B

HepDirect-carbonate Prodrug Activation in Rat Liver Microsomes. Byproduct Capture Assay

Prodrugs were tested for activation in rat or human liver microsomes by means of a prodrug byproduct capture assay.

Methods:

Prodrugs were tested for activation by rat or human liver microsomes purchased from In Vitro Technologies. The study was performed at 2 mg/mL liver microsomes, 100 mM KH₂PO₄, 10 mM glutathione, 25 μM or 250 μM compound, and 2 mM NADPH for 0-7.5 min. in an Eppendorf Thermomixer 5436 (37° C., 850 rpm). The reactions were initiated by addition of NADPH following a 2-min. preincubation. Reactions were quenched with 60% methanol at 0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 min. L-Glutamyl-L-(S-(3-oxo-3-(3-chlorophenyl)propyl)cysteinylglycine, a glutathione adduct of the by-product of prodrug activation, 3-chlorophenyl vinyl ketone, was quantified following extraction of the reaction with 1.5 volumes of methanol. The extracted samples were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm in an Eppendorf microfuge and the supernatant analyzed by HPLC for L-glutamyl-L-(S-(3-oxo-3-(3-chlorophenyl)propyl)cysteinylglycine content. Spiked L-glutamyl-L-(S-(3-oxo-3-(3-chlorophenyl)propyl)cysteinylglycine standards (1-30 μM) were prepared in 2 mg/mL microsomes under reaction conditions and then quenched and processed in an identical fashion to unknown samples. For HPLC analysis, the loading mobile phase buffer (Buffer A) consisted of a 9:1 ratio (v/v) of 20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.2 and acetonitrile. Extract (100 μL) was injected onto a Beckman Ultrasphere ODS column (4.6×250 mM). The column was eluted with a gradient to 60% acetonitrile. The elution of L-glutamyl-L-(S-(3-oxo-3-(3-chlorophenyl)propyl)cysteinylglycine (retention time 10.4 min.) was monitored at 245 nm.

Results:

The rate of enzymatic cleavage of the HepDirect prodrug moiety of Compound 34.1 as assessed by the generation of the glutathione capture product assay in rat and human liver microsomes (HLM and RLM, respectively) is shown in the table below:

	HLM activation rate,	RLM activation rate,
34.1 concentration	nmoles/min/mg	nmoles/min/mg
25 μM	0.68 ± 0.02	0.13 ± 0.01
250 μM	0.59 ± 0.1	0.22 ± 0.024

Conclusions:

Rat and human liver microsomes catalyze the removal of the HepDirect protecting group from HepDirect-carbonate prodrugs.

Example C

Kinetics of Conversion of HepDirect-Carbonate Prodrugs to Nucleoside Monophosphates by Human Liver Microsomes

The kinetics of activation of prodrug analogues to NMP were evaluated in the microsomal fraction of human liver.

Methods:

Human liver microsomes were purchased from In Vitro Technologies. The study was performed at 2 mg/mL human liver microsomes, 100 mM KH₂PO₄, 10 mM glutathione, 0-250 μM compound, and 2 mM NADPH for 0-7.5 min. in an Eppendorf Thermomixer 5436 (37° C., 850 rpm). The reactions were initiated by addition of NADPH following a 2-min. preincubation. Reactions were quenched with 60% methanol at 0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 min. The resulting extracts were clarified by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm in an Eppendorf microfuge (20 min.). The supernatants (200 μL) were evaporated under vacuum and, heat to dryness. The dried residue was reconstituted with 200 μL of water and the mixture was centrifuged for 10 min at 14,000 rpm. A mixture of 35 μL aliquot of supernatant and 35 μL of mobile phase A (20 mM N—N-dimethylhexylamine and 10 mM propionic acid in 20% methanol) was analyzed by LC-MS/MS (Applied Biosystems, API 4000) equipped with an Agilent 1100 binary pump and a LEAP injector. NMP was detected by using MS/MS mode (M⁻/78.8) and quantified based on comparison to a standard of lamivudine monophosphate. Kinetic parameters were determined from a Lineweaver-Burke plot of the data with use of SigmaPlot 9.0 software.

Results:

Compound	Km, μM	Vmax, nmoles/min/mg
30.1	64	0.36
30.10	44.5	0.12

Conclusions:

The HepDirect-carbonate prodrugs evaluated (Compounds 30.1 and 30.10) were activated to the corresponding NMP in human liver microsomes, indicating that the enzymes required for removal of both the HepDirect and the carbonate prodrug moieties are present in this reaction system. In addition, the affinity of the prodrugs for the enzyme systems was high, as indicated by the relatively low apparent Km values.

The activation of prodrug analogues to NMP was evaluated in the microsomal fraction of human liver.

Methods:

NMP generation was evaluated in human liver microsomes essentially as described above in Example C. A single concentration of each prodrug was tested (25 μM).

Results:

The rates of activation of the prodrugs evaluated, expressed as nmoles of NMP generated per minute per milligram of microsomal protein, are shown in the table below:

Compound nmoles/min/mg
30.1     0.2
30.2     0.23
30.3     0.13
30.4     0.11

Conclusions:

The prodrugs evaluated were generally well activated to generate the NMP in human liver microsomes.

Example E

Susceptibility of an 2′-β-C-Methyladenosine and its 2′,3′-Carbonate and HepDirect Prodrugs to Non-Productive Metabolism In Vitro and In Vivo

The susceptibility of 2′-β-C-methyladenosine, and its 2′,3′-carbonate prodrugs to non-productive metabolism was evaluated in vitro and in vivo.

Methods:

In Vitro—2′-β-C-methyladenosine and Compounds 31.5, 30.1, and 30.10 were separately incubated in heparinized whole rat blood or plasma at 37° C. Aliquots of the blood and plasma samples were removed periodically and extracted with perchloric acid and methanol, respectively, and then centrifuged. The acidic supernatants were neutralized with potassium carbonate and recentrifuged. The neutralized supernatants and methanolic extracts were then analyzed for the major metabolite of 2′-β-C-methyladenosine, i.e., 2′-β-C-methylinosine, as described below.

The methanolic plasma extracts were analyzed by HPLC using an Agilent 1100. Analysis (50 μL) was performed on an Agilent Zorbax SB-Aq column (4.6×150 mm) eluted with a gradient consisting of a mixture of Buffer A (20 mM potassium phosphate pH 6.2) and Buffer B (acetonitrile) (0-10 min, 0-10%; 10-20 min, 10-80%, 20-21 min, 80-0%; 21-30 min, 0-0%) and UV absorbance monitoring at 265 nm. The flow rate was 1.5 mL/min and the column temperature was set at 40° C. Concentrations of metabolite were determined from calibration curves prepared by spiking known amounts of standards to plasma and processing as before. The LOQ of 2′-β-C-methylinosine was 1 μM.

In Vivo—2′-β-C-Methyladenosine and Compounds 31.5, 30.1, and 30.10 were administered by IV bolus and oral gavage to separate sets of male Sprague-Dawley rats. At pre-specified times at 20 min, 1, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hrs post dose, liver, heart, and thigh muscle samples (˜1 g) were harvested by freeze-clamping and homogenized in 3 volumes of ice-old acetonitrile. Following centrifugation to clarify the homogenate, aliquots of the tissue extracts were analyzed for deaminated products, such as 2′-B-C-methylinosine, and other nucleoside metabolites by HPLC as described in Example E. Also at the pre-specified times, blood (heparinized) was collected from the vena cava and centrifuged briefly to obtain plasma. Following extraction of the plasma with 1.5 volumes of methanol, the samples were vortexed and centrifuged to remove the precipitate. The supernatant was then analysis for deaminated products and other metabolites by LC-UV as described above. The area under the curve (AUC) to the last measurable time point was calculated by trapezoidal summation of the plasma, liver, heart, and muscle concentration-time profile of the major metabolite 2′-β-C-methylinosine.

Results:

While 2′-β-C-methylinosine was observed after incubation of 2′-β-C-methyladenosine and Compound 31.5 in rat whole blood in vitro, no deaminated products were detected following the incubation of Compounds 30.1 and 30.10. After IV or oral administration of Compound 31.5 to rats, 2′-B-C-methylinosine was detected in plasma, liver, heart, and muscle tissue but no or only trace levels of the deaminated product were measurable following dosing of Compounds 30.1 and 30.10 as summarized in the table below (IV data shown only).

		AUC 2′-MeIno*	AUC

30.10	<2.9	<2.9	<7.2
nd = not determined
*dose normalized to 5.5 mg/kg nucleoside equivalents

Conclusions:

Prodrugs of 2′-β-C-methyladenosine, Compounds 30.1 and 30.10, were significantly less susceptible to deamination and other non-productive metabolism both in vitro and in vivo when compared to the free nucleoside. Compound 31.5 also showed reduced susceptibility to deamination relative to 2′-β-C-methyladenosine. The improved enzymatic stability profiles are expected to provide enhanced bioavailability of 2′-β-methyladenosine and consequently the delivery of higher levels of the active phosphorylated form of the nucleoside to the target organ (liver).

NTP Generation in Hepatocytes Following Incubation with Nucleoside Analogues and their Prodrugs

Nucleoside analogues and their prodrugs were evaluated for their ability to generate NTPs in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes.

Methods:

Hepatocytes were prepared from fed Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) according to the procedure of Berry and Friend (Berry, M. N. Friend, D. S., J. Cell Biol. 43:506-520 (1969)) as modified by Groen (Groen, A. K. et al., Eur. J. Biochem 122:87-93 (1982)). Hepatocytes (20 mg/mL wet weight, >85% trypan blue viability) were incubated at 37° C. in 2 mL of Krebs-bicarbonate buffer containing 20 mM glucose, and 1 mg/mL BSA for 2 h in the presence of 1-250 μM nucleoside or prodrug (from 25 mM stock solutions in DMSO). Following the incubation, 1600 μL aliquot of the cell suspension was centrifuged and 300 μL of acetonitrile was added to the pellet, vortexed and sonicated until the pellet broke down. Then 200 μL of water was added to make a 60% acetonitrile solution. After 10 min centrifugation at 14,000 rpm, the resulting supernatant was transferred to a new vial and evaporated to near dryness in a Savant SpeedVac Plus at room temperature: The dried residue was reconstituted with 200 μL of water and the mixture was centrifuged for 10 min at 14,000 rpm. A mixture of 35 μL aliquot of supernatant and 35 μL of mobile phase A (20 mM N—N-dimethylhexylamine and 10 mM propionic acid in 20% methanol) was analyzed by LC-MS/MS (Applied Biosystems, API 4000) equipped with an Agilent 1100 binary pump and a LEAP injector. NTP was detected by using MS/MS mode (M⁻/78.8) and quantified based on comparison to a standard of lamivudine triphosphate.

Results:

The amount of NTP generated over a 2 hour period in rat hepatocytes following incubation of nucleosides and prodrugs at a concentration of 25 μM, is shown in the table below:

Antiviral Activity of Nucleosides and Prodrugs in HCV-Infected Human Liver Slice Assay

The effect of various compounds on HCV replication in human liver tissue was evaluated as described below.

Methods:

Liver from a brain-dead HCV antibody-positive human patient was perfused with ice-cold Viaspan (Dupont Pharmaceutical) preservation solution and received on ice in Viaspan.

Precision-cut liver slices of ˜200-250 μm thickness and 8 cm diameter were prepared and cultured in Waymouth's cell culture medium (Gibco, Inc.) that was supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 10 mL/L Fungi-Bact at 37° C., and gassed with carbogen (95% O₂, 5% CO₂) at 0.75 liters/min. Tissue slices were maintained in culture for 72 h. Cell culture medium containing test compound in solution was changed on a daily basis.

At appropriate times of liver slice incubation, liver slices and medium were collected for analysis of HCV RNA (tissue and medium) and nucleotide levels (NTP). All collected media and tissue slices were maintained in liquid N₂ until analysis.

Medium and tissue samples were analyzed for HCV RNA levels according to published procedures (Bonacini et. al., 1999) which utilize an automated, multicycle, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technique. This assay has a lower limit of detection for HCV RNA of 100 viral copies/ml. Frozen liver slices were disrupted by using a combination of ultrasound probe sonication, Branson Sonifier 450 (Branson Ultrasonics, Danbury, Conn.) and homogenization using a Dounce conical pestle in 200 μls of 10% (v/v) perchloric acid (PCA). After a 5 min centrifugation at 2,500×g, the supernatants were neutralized using 3 M KOH/3 M KHCO₃ and mixed thoroughly. The neutralized samples were centrifuged at 2,500 g for 5 min and NTP levels were determined by ion exchange phase HPLC (Hewlett Packard 1050) using a Whatman Partisil 5 SAX (5 μm, 4.6×250 mm) column. Samples (50 μL) were injected onto the column in 70% 10 mM ammonium phosphate buffer and 30% 1 M ammonium phosphate buffer, both at pH 3.5 and containing 6% ethanol. Nucleoside triphosphates were eluted from the column using a linear gradient to 80% 1 M ammonium phosphate pH 3.5/6% ethanol buffer, at a flow rate of 1.25 mL/min and detected by UV absorbance (254 nm).

Results:

HCV RNA levels present in the liver slice culture media decreased from the levels present in control, untreated slices following incubation with 2′-β-methyladenosine and Compounds 30.1 and 31.5 (see table below). Dose-dependent formation of the corresponding NTP was observed in treated slices. Liver slice ATP levels were large unaffected by treatment.

	2.5	83	0	93
	25	94	94	85
	100	92	96	75

Conclusions:

2′-β-methyladenosine and Compounds 30.1 and 31.5 reduced hepatitis C virus RNA levels in the HCV-infected human liver slice assay. Dose-dependent conversion of nucleoside and prodrugs to the active NTP was observed in slices. Assuming good pharmacokinetic properties, the results suggest that Compounds 30.1 and 31.5 are likely to reduce viral titers in human patients.

Example H

Liver NTP Generation Following Oral Administration of Nucleoside Analogues and their Prodrugs

The potential for oral efficacy of various nucleosides and prodrugs was assessed in the rat by evaluating liver NTP generation following oral administration.

Methods:

Nucleoside analogues and their prodrugs were administered at 30 mg/kg (in terms of nucleoside equivalents) to Sprague-Dawley rats by oral gavage. At 2 or 3 hours following drug administration, liver samples (˜1 g) were collected, snap-frozen, and homogenized in 3 volumes of ice-cold 60% acetonitrile. Following centrifugation to clarify the homogenate, aliquots of the supernatants (100 μL) were evaporated to dryness on a Savant Speed-Vac Plus (1 hr, room temperature). The resulting dried residue was reconstituted with 100 μL of mobile phase and then analyzed for nucleotides by an LC-MS/MS method as described below.

The reconstituted extracts in mobile phase A (20 mM N,N-dimethylhexylamine and 10 mM propionic acid in 20% methanol) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS (Applied Biosystems, API 4000) equipped with an Agilent 1100 binary pump and a LEAP injector. Ten μL of sample was injected onto an Xterra MS C18 column (3.5 um, 2.1×50 mm, Waters Corp.) with a SecurityGuard C18 guard column (5 um, 4.0×3.0 mm, Phenomenex) and eluted with a gradient mobile phase A and B (20 mM N—N-dimethylhexylamine and 10 mM propionic acid in 80% methanol) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min (0 min, 0% B, 0-1 min, 0-50% B; 1-3 min, 50-100% B, 3-6 min, 100% B; 6-6.1 min, 100-0% B; 6.1-9 min, 0% B). NTP was detected by using MS/MS mode (M⁻/78.8). If nucleotide standards were available, then the quantitative analysis of liver NTP was calculated based on a calibration curve generated from their respective standards (0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3, 10, and 30 μM).

Results:

Conclusions:

The majority of the compounds of the invention evaluated generated the corresponding NTP in liver following oral administration to rats. This indicates that the compounds have good oral bioavailability and, as HCV is a hepatotrophic virus, have the potential of demonstrating antiviral activity in vivo.

Example I

Assessment of Oral Bioavailability of 2′,3′-Carbonate Prodrugs of 2′-B-C-methyladenosine in the Rat Based on Liver Nucleotide Concentrations

The oral bioavailability (OBAV) of 2′-β-C-methyladenosine and its carbonate prodrugs was evaluated in the rat based on the liver concentration-time profile of the generated nucleotides, including the 5′-triphosphate (NTP), the form of the nucleoside that is generally considered the active antiviral agent.

Methods:

2′-β-C-Methyladenosine and its carbonate prodrugs, Compound 31.5, Compound 30.1, and Compound 30.10, were administered by IV bolus and oral gavage to separate sets of male Sprague-Dawley rats. At pre-specified times of 20 min, 1, 3, 5, 8, 16, and 24 hrs post dose, liver samples (˜1 g) were collected by freeze-clamping and homogenized in 3 volumes of ice-cold 60% acetonitrile. Following centrifugation to clarify the homogenate, aliquots of the supernatants (100 μL) were evaporated to dryness on a Savant Speed-Vac Plus (1 hr, room temperature). The resulting dried residue was reconstituted with 100 μL of mobile phase and then analyzed for nucleotides by an LC-MS/MS method as described below.

The reconstituted extracts in mobile phase A (20 mM N,N-dimethylhexylamine and 10 mM propionic acid in 20% methanol) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS (Applied Biosystems, API 4000) equipped with an Agilent 1100 binary pump and a LEAP injector. Ten μL of sample was injected onto an Xterra MS C18 column (3.5 um, 2.1×50 mm, Waters Corp.) with a SecurityGuard C18 guard column (5 um, 4.0×3.0 mm, Phenomenex) and eluted with a gradient mobile phase A and B (20 mM N,N-dimethylhexylamine and 10 mM propionic acid in 80% methanol) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min (0 min, 0% B, 0-1 min, 0-50% B; 1-3 min, 50-100% B, 3-6 min, 100% B; 6-6.1 min, 100-0% B; 6.1-9 min, 0% B). NMP, NDP, and NTP were detected by using MS/MS mode (M/78.8). Where possible, the quantitative analysis of liver NMP, NDP, and NTP were calculated based on a calibration curve generated from their respective standards (0.01-30 μM).

The area under the curve (AUC) to the last measurable time point were calculated by trapezoidal summation of the liver concentration-time profile of total nucleotides and NTP. The OBAV was determined by dividing the dose-normalized AUC following oral administration by the AUC following IV dosing.

Results:

The OBAV values of 2′-β-C-methyladenosine and its carbonate prodrugs, Compounds 31.5, 30.1, and 30.10 in the rat are summarized in the table below. The OBAV of the free nucleoside is very low (<5%) whereas the OBAV of its carbonate prodrugs are >20%.

Conclusions:

The OBAV of 2′-β-C-methyladenosine, was significantly enhanced as a 2′,3′-carbonate prodrug. The presence of the carbonate moiety improves the OBAV potentially by increasing permeability of the nucleoside in the gut and/or by protecting the nucleoside from non-productive metabolism (see Example E).

Evaluation of Liver Selectivity of an Antiviral Nucleoside

Analog and Its 2′,3′-Carbonate Prodrugs The liver selectivity of an antiviral nucleoside, 2′-B-C-methyladenosine, and its 2′,3′-carbonate prodrugs was evaluated in the rat by comparing liver nucleotide concentrations to levels of a major metabolite in the plasma or to concentrations of extrahepatic nucleotides. An elevated liver selectivity index is an indication of improved liver targeting of the antiviral agent and reduced exposure to other organs that may be potential targets of toxicity.

Methods:

2′-β-C-Methyladenosine and its carbonate prodrugs, Compound 31.5, Compound 30.1, and Compound 30.10, were administered by IV bolus and oral gavage to separate sets of male Sprague-Dawley rats. At pre-specified times of 20 min, 1, 3, 5, 8, 16, and 24 hrs post dose, liver, heart, and thigh muscle samples (˜1 g) were harvested by freeze-clamping and homogenized in 3 volumes of ice-cold acetonitrile. Following centrifugation to clarify the homogenate, aliquots of the tissue extracts were evaporated to dryness on a Savant Speed-Vac Plus (1 hr, room temperature). The resulting dried residue was reconstituted with 100 μL of mobile phase and then analyzed for nucleotides by an LC-MS/MS method as described in Example I. In addition to solid tissue, blood was collected in heparin tubes at the pre-specified times and centrifuged to obtain plasma. The plasma samples (100 μL) were extracted with 1.5 volumes of methanol and centrifuged for 20 min at top speed on a microfuge. Plasma concentrations of a major metabolite of 2′-B-C-methyladenosine, i.e., 2′-B-C-methylinosine, were determined by LC-UV as described in Example E.

The area under the curve (AUC) to the last measurable time point was calculated by trapezoidal summation of the liver, heart, and muscle concentration-time profile of total nucleotides and NTP and of the plasma concentration-time profile of the major metabolite 2′-B-C-methylinosine. The liver selectivity index was determined by two methods: (1) dividing liver NTP AUC by heart nucleotide AUC and (2) dividing liver NTP AUC by plasma 2′-3-C-methylinosine AUC.

Results:

Whereas concentrations of nucleotides of 2′-methyladenosine were measurable in heart and muscle tissue following administration of the free nucleoside, the nucleotides were barely detectable in these tissues following dosing of the 2′,3′-carbonate prodrugs. Plasma concentrations of the main metabolite, 2′-B-C-methylinosine, were detectable after administration of the free nucleoside but not after dosing of the prodrug. A measure of liver targeting, the liver selectivity indices are therefore significantly higher for the 2′,3′-carbonate prodrugs as summarized in the table below.

CONCLUSIONS

The delivery of the antiviral nucleoside analog, 2′-B-C-methyladenosine, to the liver by its carbonate prodrug not only led to an increase of the therapeutic agent in the liver but also reduced peripheral drug exposure and any consequential toxicities. By diminishing the release of potential toxic elements to the systemic circulation, hepatic extraction and/or metabolism improved the liver targeting index of the nucleoside analog.
