Liver/plasma concentration ratio for dosing hepatitis C virus protease inhibitor

Compositions and therapeutic combinations are provided including at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of Formulae I to XXVI as defined herein as well as methods of treatment, prevention or amelioration of one or more symptoms of hepatitis C, treating disorders associated with HCV virus, modulating activity of HCV protease, in which liver to plasma concentration ratio of the compound ranges from about 2:1 to about 10:1.

Discovery of (1R,5S)-N-[3-amino-1-(cyclobutylmethyl)-2,3-dioxopropyl]-3- [2(S)-[[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]carbonyl]amino]-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutyl]-6, 6-dimethyl-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2(S)-carboxamide (SCH 503034), a selective, potent, orally bioavailable hepatitis C virus NS3 protease inhibitor: A potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of hepatitis C infection

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the major cause of chronic liver disease, leading to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, which affects more than 170 million people worldwide. Currently the only therapeutic regimens are subcutaneous interferon-α or polyethylene glycol (PEG)-interferon-α alone or in combination with oral ribavirin. Although combination therapy is reasonably successful with the majority of genotypes, its efficacy against the predominant genotype (genotype 1) is moderate at best, with only about 40% of the patients showing sustained virological response. Herein, the SAR leading to the discovery of 70 (SCH 503034), a novel, potent, selective, orally bioavailable NS3 protease inhibitor that has been advanced to clinical trials in human beings for the treatment of hepatitis C viral infections is described. X-ray structure of inhibitor 70 complexed with the NS3 protease and biological data are also discussed.

All methods comprise adminstering at least one HCV protease inhibitor in combination with food, the at least one HCV protease inhibitor selected from the group consisting of compounds of Formulae I-XXVI, described herein. Administration of compounds of the present invention in combination with food provides improved bioavailability and increased peak serum levels of the compounds as compared to administration without food.

METHOD FOR MODULATING ACTIVITY OF HCV PROTEASE THROUGH USE OF A NOVEL HCV PROTEASE INHIBITOR TO REDUCE DURATION OF TREATMENT PERIOD

Methods are provided for using at least one novel hepatitis C ("HCV") protease inhibitor in combination with at least one antiviral and/or immunomodulatory agent, which is different from the at least one HCV protease inhibitor, for treating a wide variety of diseases or disorders associated with hepatitis C virus by modulating the activity of HCV protease (for example HCV NS3/NS4a serine protease) and reducing HCV viral load in a subject in a reduced treatment period. With the present invention, a hepatitis C viral load is reduced in a subject to a concentration of less than 6?10-5 HCV virions per milliliter of plasma in a time period of less than or equal to about 24 weeks. With the present invention, a hepatitis C viral production is suppressed with an effectiveness in a range of 0.7 to 0.997. "
