No. 60/493,879, filed Aug. 8, 2003, entitled “Aryl and Heteroaryl Compounds as Antviral agents”; Ser. No. 60/493,878, filed Aug. 8, 2003, entitled “Aryl and Heteroaryl Componds and Methods to Modulate Red Blood Cell Production”; Ser. No. 60/493,903, filed Aug. 8, 2003, entitled “Aryl and Heteroaryl Compounds and Methods to Modulate Coagulation”, which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0002] The invention disclosed herein was made with Government support under Grant Number 1 R43 A1060151-01 from the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Accordingly, the U.S. Government has certain rights in this invention.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] This invention relates to aryl and heteroaryl compounds and compositions that may possess antiviral activity, and methods of use of such compounds and compositions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Viruses may infect cells to take over the host cell machinery and produce new viral particles via transcription and translation processes. Interception of either of these processes, including pre- and post translation events, may cripple virus propagation.
[0005] Since the discovery of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI), and protease inhibitors (PI), nonnucleoside organic molecules have been designed to combat viral infections by inhibiting a variety of targets responsible for viral replication. Examples of such targets include reverse transcriptases, DNA polymerases, viral proteases (e.g., serine, cysteine, aspartyl, metalloproteases), integrases, helicases, fusion proteins, chemokines (CCR5, CXCR4), and chemokine receptors. For example, there are drugs which may prevent fusion of the viral envelope with the cell membrane and therefore inhibit the entry of viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), into the cell. Also, other drugs may act at the late stage of the viral replication cycle to prevent propagation of virus that is already in the cell.
[0006] Smallpox is a member of the highly homologous orthopox family of viruses. As of the 1990s, it was belileved that smallpox virus was no longer a health concern as the last known case of smallpox had occurred in 1977. Also, universal vaccination programs in the U.S. were discontinued in 1972 because the risk of complications from the vaccine was actually greater than the risk of being infected with the disease. Recently, however, cases of smallpox have been documented. In addition, due to the highly homologous nature of the orthopox family, therapeutics developed against smallpox are also potential candidate therapies for related viruses that continue to plague society such as monkeypox, a virus that recently reemerged in the Africa and spread to the US through exotic animals, and mulluscipox virus, which results in a common cutaneous infection that may be problematic with immunocompromised individuals. Thus, there is a renewed interest in developing antiviral agents to treat orthopox viruses, and more particularly, smallpox.
[0007] A wide spectrum of antiviral agents have been investigated using different strains of variola as well as other orthopoxviruses (Baker, et al., Antiviral research, 57, 13, 2003). Among antiviral compounds found to be useful were cidofovir (DNA polymerase), ribavrin and tiazofurin (IMP dehydrogenase), C-ca3-ADO, and C3-Npc-A (SAH hydrolase). Also, HPMPC (Cidofovir), a DNA Polymerase Inhibitor for the treatment of CMV retinitis in AIDS patients, may have therapeutic potential for treatment of various other herpes viruses, as well as polyomavirus, papillomavirus, adenovirus as well as poxvirus. For example, in vitro evidence demonstrates that HPMPC may be active against all poxviruses studied to date as well as vaccinia and cowpox virus infections. However, treatment with HPMPC is only currently available in either topical or intravenous forms. Also, side effects, including significant nephrotoxicity, may result.
[0008] While useful anti-viral compounds have been identified, viruses can rapidly acquire resistance to drugs. Thus, new anti-viral agents are needed that can be used alone or in a cocktail of drugs where the cocktail can cripple a virus by hitting a multitude of targets.

[0442] Thus, in an embodiment, the following compounds were synthesized according to the Schemes described herein.
General Procedure A:
[0443] To a solution of a carboxylic acid (1.0-1.5 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) was added an amino acid methyl ester (1.0-1.5 mmol), HBTU (1.0-1.5 mmol), and DIEA (2.0-3.0 mmol) and the mixture was stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, sufficient amount of water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with water and brine, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the amide, which was used for further usage without further purification or purified by flash chromatography.
General Procedure B:
[0444] To a mixture of phenol and the aryl fluoride (2 eq) in DMF was added solid potassium carbonate or sodium methoxide (10 eq), and the mixture was heated at 80° C. for 12 h. After completion of the reaction, sufficient amount of water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum and the crude material obtained was purified by flash chromatography to afford the desired aryl ethers.
General Procedure C:
[0445] To a solution of ester in THF, CH3OH (4:1), 2N-lithium hydroxide solution (5 eq) was added, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then warmed to room temperature. After completion of the reaction, 2N HCl was used to neutralize the base, extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the product in pure form.
General Procedure D:
[0446] To a solution of phenyl bromide in DME were added corresponding boronic acid (5 eq), Pd (PPh3)4 (0.5% eq), 2N Na2CO3 solution (5 eq). The mixture was heated at 75° C. for 12 h. After completion of the reaction, solvent was evaporated in vacuo. During the reaction, most of the ester was hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid. The crude product so obtained was re-esterfied by dissolving it in CH3OH containing 1% of HCl. The mixture was refluxed for 6 h and after the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, CH2Cl2) to provide the desired ester. The resulting ester was hydrolyzed as described in procedure C yielding the pure acid.
General Procedure E:
[0447] To a solution of an aniline (1.0 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was added a sulfonyl chloride (1.0 mmol), and pyridine (10.0 mmol) and the mixture was stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, 50 mL of DCM was added and the organic layer was washed with 1N HCl, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the sulfonamide, which was purified by flash chromatography.
General Procedure F:
[0448] A flask was charged with phenol or aniline (1.0 equiv), Cu (OAc)2 (1.0 equiv), arylboronic acid (1.0-3.0), and powdered 4 A0 molecular sieves. The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 to yield a solution approximately 0.1M in phenol or aniline, and the Et3N (5.0 equiv) was added. After stirring the colored heterogeneous reaction mixture for 24 h at 25° C. under ambient atmosphere, the resulting slurry was filtered and the diaryl ether or diaryl amine is isolated from the organic filtrate by flash chromatography.
General Procedure G:
[0449] To a solution of a phenol (1.0 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added an alkyl halide (1.2 mmol) (a catalytic amount of NaI is added for alkyl chloirdes), and potassium carbonate (2.5 mmol) and the mixture heated at 70° C. overnight. After completion of the reaction, 5 mL of ethyl acetate and 5 mL of water was added. The organic layer was washed with water, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the ether, which was purified by flash chromatography.
General Procedure H:
[0450] Approximately, 10 ml of DMF per gram of resin was suspended in a round bottomed flask. In a separate flask, 2.5 eqivalents (relative to the resin) of the carboxylic acid was dissolved in a minimum amount of DMF. Next, the same equivalent of HOBT and 0.1 equivalent of DMAP(relative to the acid) was added. The mixture was stirred until the acid and HOBT dissolved, and then the solution was added to the resin. Next, 1.0 equivalent (relative to the acid) of DIC was added to the resin mixture. The flask was equipped with a drying tube and the mixture agitated on shaker overnight. The resin was filtered in a sintered glass funnel and washed 3 times with DMF, 3 times with methanol, and finally 3 times with DCM. The resin was in vacuo to a constant weight.
General Procedure I:
[0451] DIAD or DEAD was added dropwise to a mixture of a phenol, a primary or secondary alcohol (1.5 eq.), and triphenylphosphine (1.5 eq.) dissolved in anhydrous THF, at −20° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred for 1-2 hours while allowing to gradually warm to r.t. The solvent was removed and the residue purified by flash column chromatography to afford the desired alkyl aryl ether.
General Procedure J:
[0452] To 1.0 g (2.5 mmol) of resin-bound naphthoic acid was added a mixture of 1.5 g (7.5 mmol) of 4-Bromophenethylamine, 7.5 mL (7.5 mmol) of 1.0 M DIC in DMF, 7.5 mL (7.5 mmol) of 1.0 M HOBt in DMF, and a catalytic amount of DMAP. The resulting mixture was left on a shaker overnight. The resin was washed with DMF, MeOH, DCM three times of each to give resin-bound N-2-(4-Bromophenyl)ethyl-3-hydroxyl-2-naphthamide.
General Procedure K:
[0453] To the aryl acid (5.0 mmol) solution in DCM (20 ml) and pyridine (20.0 mmol) was added acetyl chloride (20.0 mmol) at −10° C. and the reaction mixture was stirred and allowed to warm up to r.t. The reaction mixture was then poured in to icy water (50 ml) and extracted with DCM (3×50 mL), organic extracts were combined, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to furnish the desired acid.
General Procedure L:
[0454] To a solution of 2-acetoxyaryl acid (10.0 mmol) solution in DCM (50 ml) was added oxalyl chloride (25.0 mmol) at −10° C. and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to r.t. and stirred for 2 hours. Then the reaction mixture concentrated in vacuo to furnish the desired acid chloride.
General Procedure M:
[0455] To a solution of 2-acetoxyaryl acid chloride (5.0 mmol) solution in DCE (20 ml) was added desired amine (5.0 mmol) and 4-methyl morpholine (10.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and poured into water (20 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). Organic extracts were combined and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was then purified with silica gel column chromatography by using ethyl acetate:hexanes (5:95 to 20:80) as eluent system to afford desired amides.
General Procedure N:
[0456] To a solution of N-Boc-protected amino acids (5.0 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) was added hydrochloric acid (5 mL, 4.0 solution in dioxane) and refluxed for 1 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the desired amino ester. Deprotection of Boc groups and esterification of non-amino acids are also performed using this method.
General Procedure O:
[0457] To a solution of N-Boc-amino acid (1.0 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added polymer-supported DCC (2.4 g, 2.0 mmol, as a suspension in chloroform (30 mL)). This mixture was placed to a shaker and was shaken for 10 min. Then pentafluorophenol (300 mg, 1.5 mmol, 5 mL solution in THF) was added to the reaction mixture and placed to the shaker for 16 hours at r.t. The reaction mixture was then filtered through with celite and concentrated in vacuo to give the pentafluoroohenyl ester. This ester was then subjected to further manipulations without purification.
[0458] To a solution of above pentafluorophenyl ester (300 mg, 0.5 mmol) was added desired alkylamideoxime (1.0 mmol) and molecular sieves (100 mg) in dry chlorobenzene (20 mL). The reaction mixture was then heated at 120° C. for 4-5 hours and concentrated in vacuo to remove most of chlorobenzene. To this slurry was added DCM (50 mL) and filtered through with a plug of silica gel, again concentrated in vacuo. This crude product was then purified with ethyl acetate:hexanes 5:95 to 10:90 to give the desired oxadiazoles.
[0459] The intermediate alkyloxyaryl oxadiazole was then deprotected using hydrochloric acid (1 mL, 4.0 M solution in dioxane) following by general procedure N to give free amine. This free amine was then subjected to general procedure A to give the desired amides in a quantitative yield.
General Procedure P:
[0460] To a solution of alkylphenyl ether (0.2 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (10 mL) was added boron tribromide (0.5 mmol, 1.0 M solution in DCM or neat) at −78° C. and the reaction mixture stirred at −78° C. for 3 hours and allowed to warm up to the ambient temperature. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was slowly quenched with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (5 mL) and extracted with DCM (3×20 mL). The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. This crude product was then purified by silica gel chromatography with hexanes:ethyl acetate (from 95:5 to 80-20) as an eluent system to obtain desired phenols.
General Procedure Q:
[0461] To the phosphonate ester (1.0 mmol) in DCM was added DBU (1.0 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 10 min, then the aldehyde (0.9 mmol) was added to the mixture and stirred for another 2 h. Aqueous citric acid was then added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). Organic extracts were combined and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was then purified on a silica gel column chromatography by using ethyl acetate:hexanes as eluent system to afford desired alkenes.
General Procedure R:
[0462] To a solution of an aniline (1.0 mmol) in DCE (10 mL) was added an aldehyde (2.0-2.2 mmol), acetic acid (3.0 mmol), and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (2.5 mmol) and the mixture was stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, 50 mL of DCM was added and the organic layer was washed with 1N HCl, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the amine, which was purified by flash chromatography.

Biological Assay
[0720] The following assay methods may be used to identify compounds of Formula (I) that are effective in showing antiviral activity against vaccinia virus.
General Assay Procedures
[0721] Cytopathic effect was measured on the BSC40 african green monkey kidney cells using 100 μM concentrations of the compounds of Formula (I). In this assay, 96-well black Packard viewplates were seeded with BSC40 cells (2.25×104 cells/well) in Minimum Essential Media supplemented with 5% FCS, 2 mM L-glutamine and 10 μg/mL gentamycin sulfate. When the cells became confluent (24 hrs) they were treated with 100 μM compound diluted in media. The cells were place in an incubator at 37° C. (5% CO2) for 24 hours, and checked for toxicity via direct observation under the microscope and also with alamar blue which assesses cell viability and proliferation (healthy cells produce a visible color change from blue to red). The cells were scored on a scale of 0-3 where 0 corresponds to normal healthy cells, 1 corresponds to sick cells but not rounding up, 2 corresponds to cells that are rounding up, and 3 corresponds to cells that have rounded up and pulled off the plate. Compounds at concentrations that scored 1 or greater were diluted and the above assay was repeated to find the concentration at which the compound scored 0.
[0722] A vaccinia virus green fluorescent protein (vvGFP) assay was performed to test the ability of compounds of Formula (I) to inhibit viral growth as measured by a reduction in fluorescence from vaccinia virus expressing the green fluorescent protein. In this assay, 96-well black Packard viewplates were seeded with BSC40 cells in Minimum Essential Media supplemented with 5% FCS, 2 mM L-glutamine and 10 μg/mL gentamycin sulfate. When the cells became confluent, they were washed with PBS and then infected with vaccinia virus at a multiplicity of infection (moi) of 0.1 for 30 min in PBS. At 30 minutes, the cells were overlaid with 100 μl of infection media supplemented with 100 μM test compound. As controls infected cells are treated with rifampicin (blocks assembly of DNA and protein into mature virus particles), with no compound, or mock infected. Cells were placed in an incubator at 37° C. (5% CO2) for 24 hrs. At 24 hours post infection (hpi), the plates were removed from the incubator, washed with PBS and fluorescence measure on a Wallac plate reader (excite at 485 nm and read at 535 nm). Wells that showed reduced fluorescence were checked visually under the microscope to verify a reduction in viral infection versus a loss of cells due to cytopathic effect from virus infection. Compounds that are found to inhibit viral replication were then checked for inhibitory effect at various concentrations to determine the IC50 and the therapeutic index.
[0723] The compounds of Formula (I) listed in Table 1 have an IC50 of less than or equal to about 100 μM.
