Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
NUCLEOSIDE DERIVATIVES AS INHIBITORS OF RNA-DEPENDENT RNA
VIRAL POLYMERASE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides nucleoside derivatives which are inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral polymerase. These compounds are inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and are useful for the treatment of RNA- dependent RNA viral infection. They are particularly useful as inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, as inhibitors of HCV replication, and for the treatment of hepatitis C infection.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major health problem that leads to chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, in a substantial number of infected individuals, estimated to be 2-15% of the world's population. There are an estimated 4.5 million infected people in the United States alone, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control. According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 200 million infected individuals worldwide, with at least 3 to 4 million people being infected each year. Once infected, about 20% of people clear the virus, but the rest harbor HCV the rest of their lives. Ten to twenty percent of chronically infected individuals eventually develop liver-destroying cirrhosis or cancer. The viral disease is transmitted parenterally by contaminated blood and blood products, contaminated needles, or sexually and vertically from infected mothers or carrier mothers to their off-spring. Current treatments for HCV infection, which are restricted to immunotherapy with recombinant interferon-α alone or in combination with the nucleoside analog ribavirin, are of limited clinical benefit. Moreover, there is no established vaccine for HCV. Consequently, there is an urgent need for improved therapeutic agents that effectively combat chronic HCV infection. The state of the art in the treatment of HCV infection has been reviewed, and reference is made to the following publications: B. Dymoc , et al., "Novel approaches to the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection," Antiviral Chemistry & Chemotherapy, 11: 79-96 (2000); H. Rosen, et al., "Hepatitis C virus: current understanding and prospects for future therapies," Molecular Medicine Today, 5: 393- 399 (1999); D. Moradpour, et al., "Current and evolving therapies for hepatitis C,"
European J. Gastroenterol. Hepatol.. 11: 1189-1202 (1999); R. Bartenschlager, "Candidate Targets for Hepatitis C Virus-Specific Antiviral Therapy," Intervirologv. 40: 378-393 (1997); G.M. Lauer and B.D. Walker, "Hepatitis C Virus Infection," N. Engl. J. Med., 345: 41-52 (2001); B.W. Dymock, "Emerging therapies for hepatitis C virus infection," Emerging Drugs. 6: 13-42 (2001); and C. Crabb, "Hard-Won Advances Spark Excitement about Hepatitis C," Science: 506-507 (2001); the contents of all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
Different approaches to HCV therapy have been taken, which include the inhibition of viral serine proteinase (NS3 protease), helicase, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (NS5B), and the development of a vaccine.
The HCV virion is an enveloped positive-strand RNA virus with a single oligoribonucleotide genomic sequence of about 9600 bases which encodes a polyprotein of about 3,010 amino acids. The protein products of the HCV gene consist of the structural proteins C, El, and E2, and the non-structural proteins NS2, NS3, NS4A and NS4B, and NS5A and NS5B. The nonstructural (NS) proteins are believed to provide the catalytic machinery for viral replication. The NS3 protease releases NS5B, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from the polyprotein chain. HCV NS5B polymerase is required for the synthesis of a double-stranded RNA from a single-stranded viral RNA that serves as a template in the replication cycle of HCV. NS5B polymerase is therefore considered to be an essential component in the HCV replication complex [see K. Ishi, et al., "Expression of Hepatitis C Virus NS5B Protein: Characterization of Its RNA Polymerase Activity and RNA Binding," Hepatology, 29: 1227-1235 (1999) and V. Lohmann, et al., "Biochemical and Kinetic Analyses of NS5B RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase of the Hepatitis C Virus," Virology, 249: 108-118 (1998)]. Inhibition of HCV NS5B polymerase prevents formation of the double-stranded HCV RNA and therefore constitutes an attractive approach to the development of HCV-specific antiviral therapies.
It has now been found that nucleoside compounds of the present invention and certain derivatives thereof are potent inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and in particular HCV replication. The 5'-triphosphate derivatives of the nucleoside compounds are inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral polymerase and in particular HCV NS5B polymerase. The instant nucleoside compounds and derivatives thereof are useful to treat RNA-dependent RNA viral infection and in particular HCV infection.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide nucleoside compounds and certain derivatives thereof which are useful as inhibitors of RNA- dependent RNA viral polymerase and in particular as inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase. It is another object of the present invention to provide nucleoside derivatives which are useful as inhibitors of the replication of an RNA-dependent RNA virus and in particular as inhibitors of the replication of hepatitis C virus.

Another aspect of the present invention is concerned with a method of inhibiting HCV NS5B polymerase, 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-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, NJ), pegylated interferon-α2a (Pegasys™), interferon-α2b (such as Intron-A interferon available from Schering Corp., Kenilworth, NJ), 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 an amidino analog of ribavirin disclosed in WO 01/60379 (assigned to ICN Pharmaceuticals). 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.
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, such as LY570310 (VX-950). 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 WO 98/17679, 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 01/74768, WO 01/81325, and GB- 2337262. HCV NS3 protease as a target for the development of inhibitors of HCV replication and for the treatment of HCV infection is discussed in B.W. Dymock,
"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, which is disclosed in WO 97/41211 and WO 01/00622, (assigned to Vertex); another IMPDH inhibitor, such as that disclosed in WO 00/25780 (assigned to Bristol-Myers Squibb); or mycophenolate mofetil [see A.C. Allison and E.M. Eugui, 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-aminoadamaritane) [for a comprehensive description of this agent, see J. Kirschbaum, 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 2'-C-branched ribonucleosides disclosed in R. E. Harry-O'kuru, et al., J. Ore. Chem.. 62: 1754-1759 (1997); M. S. Wolfe, et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 36: 7611-7614 (1995); and U.S. Patent No. 3,480,613 (Nov. 25, 1969), the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Such 2'- C-branched ribonucleosides include, but are not limited to, 2'-C-methyl-cytidine, 2'- C-methyl-adenosine, 2'-C-rnethyl-guanosine, and 9-(2-C~methyl-β-D-ribofuranosyι)- 2,6-diaminopurine.

composition comprising combining any of the compounds described above and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Additionally, the present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of another agent active against RNA-dependent RNA virus and in particular against HCV. Agents active against HCV include, but are not limited to, ribavirin, levovirin, viramidine, thymosin alpha-1, an inhibitor of HCV NS3 serine protease, 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, NJ), interferon-α2b (such as Intron-A interferon available from Schering Corp., Kenilworth, NJ), a consensus interferon, and a purified interferon-α product.

Raybuck, "Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase: Consideration of Structure, Kinetics, and Therapeutic Potential," Ann. Rep. Med. Chem.. 35: 201-210 (2000).
Another aspect of the present invention provides for the use of nucleoside compounds and derivatives thereof and their pharmaceutical compositions for the manufacture of a medicament for the inhibition of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication, in particular HCV replication, and/or the treatment of RNA-dependent RNA viral infection, in particular HCV infection.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprise a compound of structural formula I, IN, or XJJ as an active ingredient or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and may also contain a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and optionally other therapeutic ingredients. The compositions include compositions suitable for oral, rectal, topical, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous), ocular (ophthalmic), pulmonary (nasal or buccal inhalation), or nasal administration, although the most suitable route in any given case will depend on the nature and severity of the conditions being treated and on the nature of the active ingredient. They may be conveniently presented in unit dosage form and prepared by any of the methods well-known in the art of pharmacy.
In practical use, the compounds of structural formulae I, IN, and XJJ can be combined as the active ingredient in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration, e.g., oral'or parenteral (including intravenous). In preparing the compositions for oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations, such as, for example, suspensions, elixirs and solutions; or carriers such as starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of oral solid preparations such as, for example, powders,, hard and soft capsules and tablets, with the solid oral preparations being preferred over the liquid preparations. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. If desired, tablets may be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1 percent of active compound. The percentage of active compound in these compositions may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2 percent to about 60 percent of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that an effective dosage will be obtained. The active compounds can also be administered intranasally as, for example, liquid drops or spray.
The tablets, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin. When a dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil.
Narious other materials may be present as coatings or to modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain, in addition to the active ingredient, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.
Compounds of structural formulae I, IN, and XII may also be administered parenterally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxy-propylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinϊjiry conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g. glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.
Any suitable route of administration may be employed for providing a mammal, especially a human with an effective dosage of a compound of the present invention. For example, oral, rectal, topical, parenteral, ocular, pulmonary, nasal, and the like may be employed. Dosage forms include tablets, troches, dispersions, suspensions, solutions, capsules, creams, ointments, aerosols, and the like. Preferably compounds of structural formulae I, IN, and XJJ are administered orally.
For oral administration to humans, the dosage range is 0.01 to 1000 mg/kg body weight in divided doses. In one embodiment the dosage range is 0.1 to 100 mg/kg body weight in divided doses. In another embodiment the dosage range is
0.5 to 20 mg/kg body weight in divided doses. For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets or capsules containing 1.0 to 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 750, 800, 900, and 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated.
The effective dosage of active ingredient employed may vary depending on the particular compound employed, the mode of administration, the condition being treated and the severity of the condition being treated. Such dosage may be ascertained readily by a person skilled in the art. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response.

Preparation of the Nucleoside Compounds and Derivatives of the Invention The nucleoside compounds and derivatives thereof of the present invention can be prepared following synthetic methodologies well-established in the practice of nucleoside and nucleotide chemistry. Reference is made to the following text for a description of synthetic methods used in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention: "Chemistry of Nucleosides and Nucleotides," L.B. Townsend, ed., Vols. 1-3, Plenum Press, 1988, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
A representative general method for the preparation of compounds of the present invention is outlined in Scheme 1 below. This scheme illustrates the synthesis of compounds of the present invention of structural formula 1^7 wherein the furanose ring has the β-D-ribo configuration. The starting material is a 3,5-bis-O- protected alkyl furanoside, such as methyl furanoside, of structural formula IA . The C-2 hydroxyl group is then oxidized with a suitable oxidizing agent, such as a chromium tri oxide or chromate reagent or Dess-Martin periodinane, or by Swern oxidation, to afford a C-2 ketone of structural formula 1^2. Addition of a Grignard reagent, such as an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl magnesium halide (for example,
MeMgBr, EtMgBr, vinylMgBr, allylMgBr, and ethynylMgBr) or an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl lithium, such as MeLi, across the carbonyl double bond of 1^2 in a suitable organic solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, and the like, affords the C-2 tertiary alcohol of structural formula 1X3. A good leaving group (such as Cl, Br, and I) is next introduced at the C-1 (anomeric) position of the furanose sugar derivative by
treatment of the furanoside of formula J 3 with a hydrogen halide in a suitable organic solvent, such as hydrogen bromide in acetic acid, to afford the intermediate furanosyl halide L . A C-1 sulfonate, such methanesulfonate (MeSO2O-), trifluoromethanesulfonate (CF3SO2O-), or p-toluenesulfonate (-OTs), may also serve as a useful leaving group in the subsequent reaction to generate the glycosidic (nucleosidic) linkage. The nucleosidic linkage is constructed by treatment of the intermediate of structural formula L4 with the metal salt (such as lithium, sodium, or potassium) of an appropriately substituted lH-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine l_-5, such as an appropriately substituted 4-halo-lH-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine, which can be generated in situ by treatment with an alkali hydride (such as sodium hydride), an alkali hydroxide (such as potassium hydroxide), an alkali carbonate (such as potassium carbonate), or an alkali hexamethyldisilazide (such as NaΗMDS) in a suitable anhydrous organic solvent, such as acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, l-methyl-2- pyrrolidinone, or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The displacement reaction can be catalyzed by using a phase-transfer catalyst, such as TDA-1 or triethylbenzylammonium chjforide. in a two-phase system (solid-liquid or liquid- liquid). The optional protecting groups in the protected nucleoside of structural formula 1^6 are then cleaved following established deprotection methodologies, such as those described in T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis," 3rd ed., John Wiley & Sons, 1999. Optional introduction of an amino group at the 4-position of the pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleus is effected by treatment of the 4-halo intermediate 1^6 with the appropriate amine, such as alcoholic ammonia or liquid ammonia, to generate a primary amine at the C-4 position (-NΗ2), an alkylamine to generate a secondary amine (-NHR), or a dialkylamine to generate a tertiary amine (-NRR'). A 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one compound may be derived by hydrolysis of 1^6 with aqueous base, such as aqueous sodium hydroxide. Alcoholysis (such as methanolysis) of 1^6 affords a C-4 alkoxide (-OR), whereas treatment with an alkyl mercaptide affords a C-4 alkylthio (-SR) derivative. Subsequent chemical manipulations well-known to practitioners of ordinary skill in the art of organic/medicinal chemistry may be required to attain the desired compounds of the present invention.

Acta 82: 2052 (1999) and J. Med. Chem.1991, 34, 2195) in anhydrous CΗ2C12 (1.5 mL) was cooled to -15°C in a dry ice/CH3CN bath. After cooling the reaction mixture for 10 min. under the argon atmosphere, 33% HBr/ AcOH (370 μL, 1.5 equiv.) was added slowly over 20 min keeping the bath temperature around -15°C. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at -10°C for 1 hr. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the
residue azeotroped with anhydrous toluene (5x10 mL). In a separate flask, 2-amino-4- chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3--i]pyrimidine (210 mg, 1.2 mmol) was suspended in anhydrous CΗ3CN (10 mL) and cooled to -10°C. To this was added 60% NaH dispersion in oil (57 mg) in two portions, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 45 min. during which time the solid dissolved and the bath temperature rose to 0°C. The bath was removed and stirring was continued for about 20 additional min. It was cooled back to -10°C and the bromo sugar, prepared above, was taken up in anhydrous CH3CN (1.5 mL) and added slowly to the anion of nucleobase . After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 45 min allowing the temperature of the reaction to rise to 0°C. The bath was removed and the reaction allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 hr. Methanol was added carefully to the reaction mixture and the separated solid removed by filtration. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residual oil dissolved in EtOAc (50 mL) and washed with water (3x20mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give an oil. It was purified by column chromatography to furnish fully protected 2-amino-7-(5-O- (p-toluoyl)-2-O-benzyl-3-de xy-3-fluoro-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-4-chloro-7H- pyrrolo[2,3-£-]pyrimidine (190 mg) as an o/β mixture (1:1) . After conversion of 4- chloro to 4-oxo by heating the compound with 2N NaOH/dioxane mixture at 105°C and after the usual workup the residue was debenzylated using 20 mol% w/w of 10% Pd/C and ammonium formate in refluxing methanol to give title compound after purification by HPLC; yield 10%. ESMS: calcd. for CnH13FN4O4 284.24, found 283.0 (M + 1).

Purification and Purity Analysis of Nucleoside 5'-Triphosphates
Triphosphates were purified by anion exchange (AX) chromatography using a 30 x 100 mm Mono Q column (Pharmacia) with a buffer system of 50 mM Tris, pH 8. Elution gradients were typically from 40 mM NaCl to 0.8 M NaCl in two column volumes at 6.5 mlJmin. Appropriate fractions from anion exchange chromatography were collected and desalted by reverse-phase (RP) chromatography using a Luna C18 250 x 21 mm column (Phenomenex) with a flow rate of 10 ml/min. Elution gradients were generally from 1% to 95% methanol in 14 min at a constant concentration of 5 mM triethylammonium acetate (TEAA). Mass spectra of the purified triphosphates were determined using online HPLC mass spectrometry on a Hewlett-Packard (Palo Alto, CA) MSD 1100. A Phenomenex Luna (C18(2)), 150 x 2 mm, plus 30 x 2 mm guard column, 3-μm particle size was used for RP HPLC. A 0 to 50% linear gradient (15 min) of acetonitrile in 20 mM TEAA (triethylammonium acetate) pH 7 was performed in
series with mass spectral detection in the negative ionization mode. Nitrogen gas and a pneumatic nebulizer were used to generate the electrospray. The mass range of 150- 900 was sampled. Molecular masses were determined using the HP Chemstation analysis package. The purity of the purified triphosphates was determined by analytical
RP and AX HPLC. RP HPLC with a Phenomonex Luna or Jupiter column (250 x 4.6 mm), 5-μm particle size was typically run with a 2-70% acetonitrile gradient in 15 min in 100 mM TEAA, pH 7. AX HPLC was performed on a 1.6 x 5 mm Mono Q column (Pharmacia). Triphosphates were eluted with a gradient of 0 to 0.4 M NaCl at constant concentration of 50 mM Tris, pH 8. Purity of the triphosphates was generally >80%.

BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS
The assays employed to measure the inhibition of HCV NS5B polymerase and HCV replication are described below.
The effectiveness of the compounds of the present invention as inhibitors of HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) was measured in the following assay.
A. Assay for Inhibition of HCV NS5B Polymerase:
This assay was used to measure the ability of the nucleoside derivatives of the present invention to inhibit the enzymatic activity of the RNA- dependent RNA polymerase (NS5B) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on a heteromeric RNA template.
Procedure:
Assay Buffer Conditions: (50 μL -total/reaction)
20 mM Tris, pH 7.5 50 μM EDTA
5 mM DTT
2 mM MgCl2
80 M KC1
0.4 U/μL RNAsin (Promega, stock is 40 units/μL) 0.75 μg t500 (a 500-nt RNA made using T7 runoff transcription with a sequence from the NS2/3 region of the hepatitis C genome)
1.6 μg purified hepatitis C NS5B (form with 21 amino acids C-terminally truncated)
1 μM A,C,U,GTP (Nucleoside triphosphate mix)
[alpha-32P]-GTP or [alpha-33P]-GTP
The compounds were tested at various concentrations up to 100 μM final concentration.
An appropriate volume of reaction buffer was made including enzyme and template t500. Nucleoside derivatives of the present invention were pipetted into the wells of a 96-well plate. A mixture of nucleoside triphosphates (NTP's), including the radiolabeled GTP, was made and pipetted into the wells of a 96-well plate. The reaction was initiated by addition of the enzyme-template reaction solution and allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1-2 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of 20 μL 0.5M EDTA, pH 8.0.
Blank reactions in which the quench solution was added td the NTPs prior to the addition of the reaction buffer were included.
50 μL of the quenched reaction were spotted onto DE81 filter disks (Whatman) and allowed to dry for 30 min. The filters were washed with 0.3 M ammonium formate, pH 8 (150 mL/wash until the cpm in 1 mL wash is less than 100, usually 6 washes). The filters were counted in 5-mL scintillation fluid in a scintillation counter.
The percentage of inhibition was calculated according to the following equation: % Inhibition = [l-(cpm in test reaction - cpm in blank) / (cpm in control reaction - cpm in blank)] x 100.
Representative compounds tested in the HCV NS5B polymerase assay exhibited ICso's less than 100 micromolar.
B. Assay for Inhibition of HCV RNA Replication: The compounds of the present invention were also evaluated for their ability to affect the replication of Hepatitis C Virus RNA in cultured hepatoma (HuH- 7) cells containing a subgenomic HCV Replicon. The details of the assay are described below. This Replicon assay is a modification of that described in V. Lohmann, F. Komer, J-O. Koch, U. Herian, L. Theilmann, and R. Bartenschlager, "Replication of a Sub-genomic Hepatitis C Virus RNAs in a Hepatoma Cell Line," Science 285: 110 (1999).
Protocol:
The assay was an in situ Ribonuclease protection, Scintillation Proximity based-plate assay (SPA). 10,000 - 40,000 cells were plated in 100-200 μL
of media containing 0.8mg/mL G418 in 96-well cytostar plates (Amersham). Compounds were added to cells at various concentrations up to 100 μM in 1% DMSO at time 0 to 18 h and then cultured for 24-96 h. Cells were fixed (20 min, 10% formalin), permeabilized (20 min, 0.25%) Triton X-100/PBS) and hybridized (overnight, 50°C) with a single-stranded 33P RNA probe complementary to the (+) strand NS5B (or other genes) contained in the RNA viral genome. Cells were washed, treated with RNAse, washed, heated to 65°C and counted in a Top-Count. Inhibition of replication was read as a decrease in counts per minute (cpm).
Human HuH-7 hepatoma cells, which were selected to contain a subgenomic replicon, carry a cytoplasmic RNA consisting of an HCV 5' non- translated region (NTR), a neomycin selectable marker, an EMCV IRES (internal ribosome entry site), and HCV non-structural proteins NS3 through NS5B, followed by the 3' NTR.
Representative compounds tested in the replication assay exhibited EC5o's less than 100 micromolar.

The plates were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for a specified period of time. After the incubation period, 20 μL of CellTiter 96 Aqueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay reagent (MTS) (Promega) was added to each well and the plates were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for an additional period of time up to 3 h. The plates were agitated to mix well and absorbance at 490 nm was read using a plate reader. A standard curve of suspension culture cells was* prepared with known cell numbers just prior to the addition of MTS reagent. Metabolically active cells reduce MTS to formazan. Formazan absorbs at 490 nm. The absorbance at 490 nm in the presence of compound was compared to absorbance in cells without any compound added. Reference: Cory, A.
