WO 01/05230 PCT/US00/19626 TITLE OF THE INVENTION ALPHA-HYDROXY-GAMMA-[[(CARBOCYCLIC- OR HETEROCYCLIC SUBSTITUTED)AMINO]CARBONYL]ALKANAMIDE DERIVATIVES AND USES THEREOF 5 FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a-hydroxy-y-[[(carbocyclic- or heterocyclic-substituted)amino]carbonyl]alkanamide derivatives, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, their synthesis, and their use as inhibitors of HIV 10 protease. The compounds of the present invention are useful for preventing or treating infection by HIV and for treating AIDS. References are made throughout this application to various publications in order to more fully describe the state of the art to which this invention pertains. The disclosures of these references are hereby incorporated by reference in 15 their entireties. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A retrovirus designated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the etiological agent of the complex disease that includes progressive destruction 20 of the immune system (acquired immune deficiency syndrome; AIDS) and degeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system. This virus was previously known as LAV, HTLV-I1, or ARV. A common feature of retrovirus replication is the extensive post-translational processing of precursor polyproteins by a virally encoded protease to generate mature viral proteins required for virus 25 assembly and function. Inhibition of this processing prevents the production of normally infectious virus. For example, Kohl et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. 1988, 85: 4686, demonstrated that genetic inactivation of the HIV encoded protease resulted in the production of immature, non-infectious virus particles. These results indicated that inhibition of the HIV protease represents a viable method for 30 the treatment of AIDS and the prevention or treatment of infection by IV. Nucleotide sequencing of HIV shows the presence of a pol gene in one open reading frame [Ratner et al., Nature 1985, 313: 277]. Amino acid sequence homology provides evidence that the pol sequence encodes reverse transcriptase, an endonuclease and an HIV protease [Toh et al., EMBO J. 1985, 4: 1267; Power et al., 35 Science 1986, 231: 1567; Pearl et al., Nature 1987, 329: 351]. -1- WO 01/05230 PCT/US00/19626 Several HIV protease inhibitors are presently in clinical use for the treatment of AIDS and HIIV infection, including indinavir (see US 5413999), nelfinavir (US 5484926), saquinavir (US 5196438), and ritonavir (US 5484801). Each of these protease inhibitors is a peptidomimetic, competitive inhibitor of the 5 viral protease which prevents cleavage of the HIV gag-pol polyprotein precursor. Indinavir, for example, has been found to be highly effective in reducing HIV viral loads and increasing CD4 cell counts in HIV-infected patients, when used in combination with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. See, for example, Hammer et al., New England J. Med. 1997, 337: 725-733 and Gulick et al., New 10 EnglandJ. Med. 1997, 337: 734-739. A substantial and persistent problem in the treatment of AIDS has been the ability of the HIV virus to develop resistance to the therapeutic agents employed to treat the disease. Resistance to HIV-1 protease inhibitors has been associated with 25 or more amino acid substitutions in both the protease and the 15 cleavage sites. Many of these viral variants are resistant to all of the HIV protease inhibitors currently in clinical use. See Condra et al., Drug Resistance Updates 1998, 1: 1-7; Condra et al., Nature 1995, 374: 569-571; Condra et al., J. Virol. 1996, 70: 8270-8276; Patrick et al., Antiviral Ther. 1996, Suppl. 1: 17-18; and Tisdale et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 1995, 39: 1704-1710. 20 Attempts to address the resistance issue with "salvage therapy" consisting of high doses of multiple protease inhibitors have only been moderately successful due to the high level of cross resistance and toxicities associated with these protease inhibitors. Accordingly, there remains a need for new protease inhibitors having improved effectiveness against the viral variants. 25 The present invention is directed to novel protease inhibitors which are much more potent against HIV viral mutants than the known protease inhibitors. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 30 The present invention provides a novel group of c-hydroxy-y [[(carbocyclic- or heterocyclic-substituted)amino]carbonyl]alkanamide derivatives which are potent inhibitors of HIV protease including mutant forms thereof that are resistant to known protease inhibitors. These compounds are useful in the inhibition of HIV protease, the prevention of infection by HIV, the treatment of infection by 35 HIV and in the treatment of AIDS and/or ARC, when employed as compounds or -2- WO 01/05230 PCT/US00/19626 pharmaceutically acceptable salts or hydrates (when appropriate) thereof, optionally as pharmaceutical composition ingredients, and optionally in combination with other antivirals, anti-infectives, immunomodulators, antibiotics or vaccines.

In these reactions, it is also possible to make use of variants which are themselves known to those of ordinary skill in this art, but are not mentioned in 10 greater detail. Furthermore, other methods for preparing compounds of the invention will be readily apparent to the person of ordinary skill in the art in light of the following reaction schemes and examples. Unless otherwise indicated, all variables are as defined above. The preparation of the compounds of the present invention can be 15 carried out in sequential or convergent synthetic routes, as shown in Schemes 1-6 below. A compound of Formula (I) can be prepared in accordance with Scheme 1, wherein Compound 1 is readily prepared via literature procedures described in Dorsey et al., J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37: 3443-3451, and also in US 5413999. Oxidation of compound 1 to acid 2 can be carried out by a number of methods known to those 20 skilled in the art including oxidation with chromium trioxide in acetic acid. Amide coupling of compound 2 with an amine such as 3 is typically performed by the carbodiimide method with reagents such as EDC and HOBT in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane. Other methods of forming the amide or peptide bond include, but are not limited to, the synthetic routes via an acid chloride, azide, mixed anhydride 25 or activated ester. Compound 4 is then hydrolyzed with aqueous lithium hydroxide and the resulting hydroxy acid 5 is conveniently protected with a standard silyl protecting group such as t-butyldimethyl silyl by reaction with either t butyldimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of imidazole in an inert solvent or the reaction with the silyl triflate and diisopropyl ethylamine again in an inert solvent 30 such as dichloromethane. Mild aqueous hydrolysis of the silyl ester provides the protected hydroxy-acid 6 which is then coupled to NH2R 5 using standard amide coupling reactions as described above to produce compound 7. The protecting group is removed with fluoride to arrive at compound 8. As shown in Scheme 2, compounds of the invention of Formula (H1) 35 can be prepared in accordance with Scheme 1 by substituting the appropriate amine 9 -56- WO 01/05230 PCT/US00/19626 for 3 in the amide coupling reaction with acid 2 to produce compound 10, which is then carried on to the desired compound 11.

Point mutations were incorporated into the DNA with a bias toward optimal codon usage in E. Coli to yield amino acid mutations listed in Table 2 below. The oligonucleotides were annealed and ligated into pUC-18 or pUC-19 by Midland Certified Reagent Company. The 20 primary sequence was verified before subcloning into a pET-3b expression vector via Nde I and Bpul 102 I sites and reconfirmed by automated double-stranded DNA sequencing. Clones carrying the mutant DNA were transformed and expressed as previously described in Schock et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1996, 271: 31957-31963 and Chen et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1995, 270:: 21433-21436. The cells were lysed in 50 mM 25 Tris-HCI pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% NP40, 10 mM MgCl 2 , and 100pg / mL DNase I using a microfluidizer processor ( Microfluidics International Corp., Newton, MA). The mutant protease was extracted, refolded, and purified over affinity columns as previously described in Schock et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1991, 271: 31957-31963. Protein concentrations were determined by amino acid analysis and purity was confirmed by 30 SDS gel electrophoresis.

Various concentrations of inhibitor in 2 mL DMSO were added to 50 gL of the peptide solution in buffer. The reaction is initiated by the addition of 28 gL of 14.3 pM (wild type, K-60, Q-60) and 28.6 pM (V-18) protease in a solution of 50mM Na acetate pH 5 5.5 and 0.1% bovine serum albumin. The reaction was quenched with 120 gL of 10% phosphoric acid. Products of the reaction were separated by HPLC (VYDAC wide pore 5 cm C-18 reverse phase, acetonitrile gradient, 0.1% phosphoric acid). The extent of inhibition of the reaction was determined from the peak heights of the products. HPLC of the products, independently synthesized, proved quantitation 10 standards and confirmation of the product composition. The compounds of the invention prepared in Examples 1-24 exhibited IC50 values ranging from about 0.05 to about 1 nM against the wild-type enzyme. The indinavir IC50 value against the wild type enzyme is 0.6 nM (average). The compounds of the invention prepared in Examples 1-24 exhibited IC50 values in the range of 0.2 to 5 nM against the mutant 15 enzymes Q-60, K-60, and V-18.

Nat'l Acad. Sci. 1988, 85: 5449-5453. Infectious mutant proviral clones were constructed by subcloning the 833-b.p. Apal-Sse83871 fragment containing the mutagentized protease gene into the corresponding sites of plasmid pNL4-3 (see J. Virol. 1986, 59: 284-291).

The amino acid changes from wild type sequence for three of these viral constructs are shown in Table 2. 15 Example 28 Cell Spread Assay Inhibition of the spread of HIV in cell culture was measured according to Nunberg et al., J. Virol. 1991, 65: 4887. In this assay, MT-4 T-lymphoid cells were 20 infected with HIV-1 (wild-type, unless otherwise indicated) by using a predetermined inoculum, and cultures were incubated for 24 h. At this time, <1% of the cells were positive by indirect immunofluorescence. Cells were then extensively washed and distributed into 96-well culture dishes. Serial twofold dilutions of inhibitor were added to the wells, and cultures were continued for 3 additional days. At 4 days 25 postinfection, 100% of the cells in control cultures were infected. HIV-1 p24 accumulation was directly correlated with virus spread. The cell culture inhibitory concentration was defined as the inhibitor concentration in nanomoles/liter which reduced the spread of infection by at least 95%, or CIC 9 5 . The compounds of the invention prepared in Examples 1-24 exhibited CIC95 values in the range of from 30 about 8 to about 50 nM against the wild-type viral construct.

The compounds of the invention prepared in Examples 1-24 exhibited CIC95 values in the range of about 8 to about 125 nM against the viral constructs Q60, K-60, and V-18. These CIC95 values range from about 8-fold to more than about 35-fold more potent than 35 indinavir's values of greater than 1000 nM against these same viral constructs. - 144 - WO 01/05230 PCT/US00/19626 EXAMPLE 29 Inhibition of Virus Spread 5 A.

Cells were infected and 10 grown in the following medium: RPMI 1640 (Whittaker BioProducts), 10% inactivated fetal bovine serum, 4 mM glutamine (Gibco Labs) and 1:100 Penicillin Streptomycin (Gibco Labs). The mixture was incubated overnight at 37oC in 5% CO2 atmosphere. 15 B. Treatment with Inhibitors A matrix of nanomolar range concentrations of the pairwise combinations is prepared. At Day 1, aliquots of 125 ml of inhibitors are added to equal volumes of HIV-infected MT-4 cells (50,000 per well) in a 96-well microtiter cell culture plate. Incubation is continued for 3 days at 37 0 C in 5% CO2 atmosphere. 20 C. Measurement of Virus Spread Using a multichannel pipettor, the settled cells are resuspended and 125 ml harvested into a separate microtiter plate. The supernatant is assayed for HIV p24 antigen. 25 The concentration of HIV p24 antigen is measured by an enzyme immunoassay, described as follows. Aliquots of p24 antigen to be measured are added to microwells coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for HIV core antigen. The microwells are washed at this point, and at other appropriate steps that follow. Biotinylated HIV-specific antibody is then added, followed by conjugated 30 streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase. A color reaction occurs from the added hydrogen peroxide and tetramethylbenzidine substrate. Color intensity is proportional to the concentration of HIV p24 antigen. - 145 - WO 01/05230 PCT/US00/19626 Calculation of Degree of Synergy When there is synergy, pairwise combinations of inhibitors are found to exhibit markedly enhanced inhibition of virus spread, in comparison to each inhibitor alone, or in comparison to merely additive inhibition of each inhibitor. 5 The data is processed as follows: fractional inhibitory concentration ratios (FIC) are calculated according to Elion, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1954, 208: 477. The minimum sum of FICs, which is the maximum synergy, is determined for various pairwise combinations. The smaller the number, the greater the synergy. 10 While the foregoing specification teaches the principles of the present invention, with examples provided for the purpose of illustration, the practice of the invention encompasses all of the usual variations, adaptations and/or modifications that come within the scope of the following claims. - 146 -
