SPIROCYCLIC NUCLEOSIDE ANALOGUES FOR THE TREATMENT OF HEPATITIS E

The present disclosure is directed toward spirocyclic nucleoside analogs, compositions comprising these compounds, and their use for treating hepatitis E infections.

Nucleotide prodrugs of 2′-deoxy-2′-spirooxetane ribonucleosides as novel inhibitors of the HCV NS5B polymerase

The limited efficacy, in particular against the genotype 1 virus, as well as the variety of side effects associated with the current therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection necessitates more efficacious drugs. We found that phosphoramidate prodrugs of 2′-deoxy-2′-spirooxetane ribonucleosides form a novel class of HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitors, displaying EC50 values ranging from 0.2 to >98 μM, measured in the Huh7-replicon cell line, with no apparent cytotoxicity (CC50 > 98.4 μM). Confirming recent findings, the 2′-spirooxetane moiety was identified as a novel structural motif in the field of anti-HCV nucleosides. A convenient synthesis was developed that enabled the synthesis of a broad set of nucleotide prodrugs with varying substitution patterns. Extensive formation of the triphosphate metabolite was observed in both rat and human hepatocyte cultures. In addition, after oral dosing of several phosphoramidate derivatives of compound 21 to rats, substantial hepatic levels of the active triphosphate metabolite were found.

Application of phosphoramidate ProTide technology significantly improves antiviral potency of carbocyclic adenosine derivatives

We report the application of phosphoramidate pronucleotide (ProTide) technology to the antiviral agent carbocyclic L-d4A (L-Cd4A). The phenyl methyl alaninyl parent ProTide of L-Cd4A was prepared by Grignard-mediated phosphorochloridate reaction and resulted in a compound with significantly improved anti-HIV (2600-fold) and HBV activity. We describe modifications of the aryl, ester, and amino acid regions of the ProTide and how these changes affect antiviral activity and metabolic stability. Separate and distinct SARs were noted for HIV and HBV. Additionally, ProTides were prepared from the D-nucleoside D-Cd4A and the dideoxy analogues L-CddA and D-CddA. These compounds showed more modest potency improvements over the parent drug. In conclusion, the ProTide approach is highly successful when applied to L-Cd4A with potency improvements in vitro as high as 9000-fold against HIV. With a view to preclinical candidate selection we carried out metabolic stability studies using cynomolgus monkey liver and intestinal S9 fractions.

Phosphoramidate and phosphate prodrugs of (-)-β-D-(2R,4R)-dioxolane- thymine: Synthesis, anti-HIV activity and stability studies

A series of phosphoramidate and phosphate prodrugs of DOT were synthesized via dichlorophosphate or H-phosphonate chemistry and evaluated for their anti-HIV activity against LAI M184V mutants in PBM cells as well as for their cytotoxicity. The antiviral and cytotoxic profiles of the prodrugs were compared with that of the parent compound (DOT), and it was found that four aryl phosphoramidates 5, 18, 20, and 26 showed a significant enhancement (8- to 12-fold) in anti-HIV activity without cytotoxicity. Chemical stability of these prodrugs was evaluated in phosphate buffer at pH values of biological relevance (i.e., pH 2.0 and 7.4). Enzymatic hydrolysis was also studied in esterase or lipase in buffer solution. Chemical stability studies indicate that the phosphoramidates have good chemical stability at pH 2.0 and at pH 7.4 phosphate buffer. Phosphoramidate prodrugs were hydrolyzed in vitro by esterase or lipase and found to be better substrates for lipases than for esterases. 1,3-Diol cyclic phosphates showed potent anti-HIV activity without increasing the cytotoxicity compared with that of DOT and have good chemical and enzymatic stability. Long-chain lipid phosphates, although showed potent anti-HIV activity, exhibited increased cytotoxicity.

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS

Phosphoramidate derivatives of nucleotides and their use in the treatment of cancer are described. The base moieties of, for example, each of deoxyuridine, cytarabine, gemcitabine and citidine may be substituted at the 5-position. The phosphoramidate moiety has attached to the P atom an aryl-O moiety and an α-amino acid moiety. The α-amino acid moiety may correspond to or be derived from either a naturally occurring or a non-naturally occurring amino acid.

Anti-cancer ProTides: Tuning the activity of BVDU phosphoramidates related to thymectacin

Based on our wide ranging knowledge of phosphoramidate ProTides as anti-viral agents we have tuned the lead anti-cancer agent thymectacin in the ester and amino acid regions and revealed a substantial enhancement in in vitro potency versus colon and prostate cancer cell lines. Twelve analogues have been reported, with yields of 29-78%. The compounds are fully characterised and data clearly reveal the presence of two phosphate diastereoisomers, as expected, in roughly equi-molar proportions. The compounds were evaluated in tissue culture versus three different tumour cell lines, using thymectacin as the control. It is notable that minor structural modification of the parent phenyl methoxyalaninyl structure of thymectacin leads to significant enhancements in potency. In particular, replacement of the methyl ester moiety in the lead by a benzyl ester gave a 175-fold boost in potency versus colon cancer HT115. This derivative emerges as a low micromolar inhibitor of HT115 cells and a new lead for further optimisation.
