The anti-transformning and anti-neoplastic effect of 1,2 benzopyrone were demonstrated in yitr and in vivo (Tseng, gt al, (1987) Pro.NatiL Other known ADPRT polymerase activity inhibitors include 5-ia do-6-amino- 1,2benzopyrone as described in WO 92/06687 published April 30, 1992 and entitled "Novel 5-Iodo-6-Amino-1,2-Benzopyrones and their Mjetabolites Useful as Cystostatic and Anti-Viral Agents" for use as anti-tumor and anti-viral agents. The cited patent discusses the possibility of using 5-iodo-6-nitroso-l, 2-benzopyrone as an anti-tumor or anti-viral agent.
The 6-nitroso-benzopyrones have been hitherto known or described. The only remotely related compounds found in the literature are 6-nitro-1, 2-benzopyrone and 6aamino-i, 2-benzopyrone (6-ABP) Eharm, SOI. M2:615 (1923)) for which, only scarce medicinal evaluation has been reported. In particular, testing was done for sedative and hypnotic effects Pharmn. Soc Lapa, 73,:351 (1953); Hbid, 74:271 (1954)), "Dotehypothermal action (JYak1.gakuLZasshi, 7B.:491 (1958)), and antipyretic, hypnotic, hypotensive and adrenolytic action (bidk, K- 1124 (1963)). No significant application for any of these compounds has been described except for 6-ABP.
2-nitrosobenzamide (Ime-Rasa, K.M. and Koubek, E. (1963) LQrg..Ch=in 28:3240-324 and 4-nitrosobenzamide (Wubbels, Kalhomn, Johnson, D.E.
16283.40 DOci -4and Campbell, D. (1982) 1 OrgJlChem. 47:4664-4670), have been reported in the chemical literature, but no commercial use of these isomers is known. Neither of these articles suggest the use of nitrosobenzamides as ADPRT inhibitors.
The anti-viral and anti-tumorigenic actions of substituted and unsubstituted 6amino-1,2-benzopyrone and 5-iodo-6-amino-1,2-benzopyrone is the subject of WO 9i/04663 published on September 18, 1994 entitled "6-Amino-i, 2-Benzopyrones Useful for Treatment of Viral Diseases" and WO 92/06687 published orn April 30, 1992 entitled "Novel 5-Iodo-6-Amino-1I,2-Benzopyrones and Their Metabolites Useful as Cytostatic and Antiviral Agents", which are incorporated herein by refere, ze.
The precursor molecule, 1,2-benzopyrone (coumnarin), was shown to be an inhibitory ligand of adenosinediphosphoribosyl transferase (ADPRT), a DNA-binding nuclear protein present in all mammalian cells (Tseng, et al., (1987) PrEQS1NaAcad., LJaA, 84.1107-1111).
4 Hakam, et al., FIEBSLett., M12:73 (1987) has shown that 6-amino-1,2is benzopyrone (6-ABP) binds specifically to ADRPT at the site that also *l.go 16283-80 DOCAkjc binds to DNA, indicating that both 6-ABP and DNA compete for the same site on ADPRT. Synthetic 1igands of ADPRT inhibit DNA proliferation, particularly in tumorigenic cells, (Kirsten, gt A. (1991) Ex g ~Res.
L93:1-4). Subsequently, these ligands were found to inhibit viral replication and are the subject of the WO 91/4663 entitled "GAio12Bnoyoe Useful for Treatment of 'Vit~al Diseases, 1 published on April 18, 1994 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
IQ Thus it is of interest to provid' ADPRT polymerase activity inhibitors for use as anti-viral and anti-tumor agents. The subj ect invention provides for novel nitroso-1, 2-benzopyrone, nitroso-benzamide and nitroso-isoquinolinone compounds, and various structurally related other nitroso compounds for usk- as anti-viral and anti-tumor therapeutic agents. The compounds taught for use in the subject invention are believed to be significantl less toxic and far more OV. (500 to 1000 fold) potent than structurally analogous amino compounds.
The subject invention provides for novel anti-tumor and anti-viral conpounds. These compounds include 3-nitrosobenzamide. bfeinvention also provides for compositions containing one or more of the compounds, and for methods of treating viral infections and cancer with these *0 ~r L~ SOW SM"ON SO~~d er69MOZ S 9~ 19 SdBJ.UM NOISIS WO 93/07868 PCT/US91/08902 -6compounds and compositions.

The disclosed synthesis for 5-nitroso-l(2H)-isoquinolinone may produce 2 closely related structural isomers, 7-nitroso-1(2H)- isoquinolinone and 8-nitroso-1(211)isoquinolinone. Although experiments testing the biological activity of 5-nitrcso-l(2H)- S* isoquinolinone may have contained significant quantities of 8-nitroso-1(2H)isoquinolinone or 7-nitroso-l(2H)-isoquinolinone, all three isomers are believed to possess similar anti-tumor and anti-viral activity on the basis of their close structural similarity. This hypothesis may be conveniently tested by separating the isomers by thin layer chromatography or similar methods, and comparing the anti-tumor and anti-viral activities of the separated compounds.

Synthesis of Ni troso- 1( 2 H)isoquinolinones (a mixture of and 7-nitroso-isomers) 1(2H)-Isoquinoinonone (isocarbostyril) (Aldrich) was nitrated using a general method for isoquinoline compounds LeFevre and R.J.W. LeFevre, J. Chem. eSc. 1470 (1935)). The nitration product (a mixture of the 5-nitro and 7-nitro isomers, as assigned by Y. Kawazoe and Y. Yoshioka, Chem. Pharm. Bull. (Tokyo) 1 :715- 720 (1968), although one of the isomers could be the 8-nitro isomer) was then reduced to the corresponding amino-1(2H)-isoquinolinones using a combination of potassium borohydride and palladium-on-carbon catalyst in aqueous methanol. To the resultant amino-1(2H)isoquinolinones (as free bases) (0.560 g, 3.50 mmol) in ethyl acetate (175 mL) at 30'C was added 1.208 g of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (Aldrich).

IV. ADPRT Inactive Studies The compounds of the subject invention were tested for their ability to inactivate the polymerase activity of adenosinediphosphoribosyl transferase (ADPRT). Assays were performed according to the method of Buki and Kun, Bighetm. 27:5990-5995 (1988), using calf thymus ADPRT. The assay results as given in Table I provide the I (the concentration of the compound that inhibits enzyme activity values for ADPRT of the nitroso precursor (6- WO 93/67868 PCr/US91/08902 -19amino-1,2-benzopyrone) and the more potent iodo-derivative (Table I, compounds 1 and 2, respectively). The nitroso compounds (3,4,5 in Table I) are all highly active as anti-tumor and anti-HIV molecules (as shown in later sections) and are effective even after exposure of cells for a period as short as 30 minutes. 5-1-6nitroso-1,2-benzopyrone (compound 6) in these studies has been shown to be a relatively poor inhibitor of ADRPT (It is believed that the iodo substitution deactivates the NO group as an electrophile) and its biological action is times weaker than that of 6-NO-1,2-benzopyrone.
For these reasons, the compositions of the present invention are believed to be superior to 5-I-6-nitroso-1,2 benzopyrone, which has been shown to be A poor permeant molecule.

WO 93/07868 PCT/US91/08902 Figure 1 illustrates the inactivation of ADPRT polymerase activity observed after 2 hours of incubation with the nitroso-compound inhibitors at several concentrations.
Additional experiments involving the equilibration between 6SZn+2 and ADPRT-bound Zn 2 suggest that the ADPRT inhibition activity of the nitroso compounds appears to act by destabilizirg the protein through the ejecting of Zn 2 (Buki Bauer Mendeleyev, F.; Hakam, H. and Kun E. (1991) E.'IS Lett. 290:181- 185). The above mechanism of action for ADPRT inhibitors is speculative and does not constitute any limitation on claimed subject matter.
V. 'ioloaical Anti-Cancer Activities of litosobenzopyrones. Nitroobenzamides and Nicroso-isoquinolinones Experiments were perfomed in which various human leukemia cell lines were exposed to increasing concentrations of 6-amino-1,2benzopyrone (ABP), 5-iodo-6-amino-1,2benzopyrone (IABP), 6-nitro-1,2-benzopyrone
(NO
2 BP), 6-nitroso-1,2-benzopyrone (NOBP), 3nitrosobenzamide (NOBA) or 5(7)-nitroso-1(2H)isoquinolinone (MOQ) (a mixture of the nitroso and 7 nitroso isomers), and the level of thymidine uptake was determined as a measure of cellular proliferation. As shown in Figure 2, for each of the cell lines tested (855-2 cells, Fig. 2A; H9 cells, Fig. 2B; HLcells, Fig. 2C; K562 cells, Fig. 2D) the nitroso-containing ligands (NOBP, NOBA, NOQ) were able to inhibit "H-thymidine uptake in lower molar concentrations than the other compounds. NOBP, NOBA and NOQ powerfully WO 93/07868 PCT/US91/08902 -21inhibited "H-thymidine uptake at a concentration of r1l JM, a concentration at which the other compounds exhibited comparatively slight inhibitory effects.
Experiments with H9 cells grown in 10% fetal boviae serum (FCS) (Fig. 2B) found NOQ to be the most potent inhibitor, demonstrating almost complete inhibition at 10 AM levels. NOBP demonstrated about a 30% decrease in thymidine uptake at 10 IM, and an almost complete inhibition of uptake at 100 AM. NOBA demonstrated about 75% level of inhibition at AM, about 85% inhibition at 100 JM, and almost complete inhibition at 250 IM. The remaining amino and nitro compounds were significantly less potent and did not display complete inhibition until concentrations of 1000 jM were reached.
Experiments with K562 cells grown in 10% fetal bovine serum (Fig. 2D) found NOQ and NOBP to be the most potent inhibitors of cell growth. Both NOQ and NOBP resulted in the almost complete inhibition at concentrations of 10 pM. NOBP was almost as potent as NOQ and produced about inhibition at a concentration of 10 AM, and almost complete inhibition at a concentration of 100 AM. The other 3 compounds tested were significantly less potent.
Experiments with 855-2 cells grown in fetal bovine serum (Fig. 2A) found that NOQ, and NOBP produced almost complete inhibition at a concentration of 10 IM. At a concentration of 1 AM, NOQ produced somewhat more inhibition than NOBP, and NOBP produced somewhat more inhibition WO 93/07868 PCT/US91/08902 -22than NOBA. Experiments using HL-60 cells (Fig.
2C) provided similar conclusions. The other 3 compounds tested were significantly less potent.
The effect of different growth factors on the growth inhibitory effects of NOBP was tested.
855-2 cells that were grown in media with (1) fetal bovine serum, autocrine growth factor (AGF) and low molecular weight-BCGF (a T cell derived lymphokine) were exposed to increasing concentrations of the ADRPT ligands.
The results are provided in Figure 2(A, E, F).
Cells grown in each of the growth factors were all potently inhibited by the nitroso-containing rompounds, with concentrations of 5 to 10 pM resulting in 100% inhibition, Thus, NOBP, NOBA and NOQ exurt potent inhibitory effects regardless of the source of growth factor activity.
In order to exclude the possibility that NOBP and NOBA manifest their growth inhibitory effects through inactivation of growth factors, the effects of 10 IM NOBP or NOBA (constant concentration) on 855-2 cells in the presence of 2E increasing concentrations of fetal bovine serum (FCS) were tested (PCS) contains growth factors for 855-2 cells). The data are provided in Figure 3. Growth arrest occurs irrespective of the concentration of FCS, Thus, the mode of action of NOBP, does not appear to be by antagonism of growth factors but at ADPRT sites related to DNA-replication.
Tumor cell inhibitory concentrations of NOBP and NOBA were shown not to affect adversely the viability of normal cells. Experiments were WOs 93/67868 PCT/US91/08902 -23performed in which the functions of various cancer cells (855-2 and HL-60 leukemia cells, D32, D37 and CRL 7712 glioblastoma cell lines, 186 medulla tumor cell line, L1210 murine leukemia cell line, MDA-468 human breast tumor cell line) and normal cells (neutrophil leukocytes and bone marrow or peripheal blood stream cells) were assessed in the absence or presence of the compounds. The results are shown in Figures 4-9. Together, the data indicate that a concentration of 10 AM of the nitroso-containing ligands effectively suppressed cancer cell growth but demonstrated only modest effects the functions on normal cells.
VI. Toxicity of NOBP The cytotoxicity of 0, 2 lM, 4 8 pM and IM NOBP was measured by examining the effect of the compound on the colony formation (CFU-GM) of normal human stem cells (PBSC). The results of the experiments are provided in figure Toxicity was not detected, even though levels of NOBP sufficient to block 855-2 cell proliferation completely were tested.
A similar CFU stem cell toxicity assay was performed in which comparisons were made between (ABP) 6-amino-1,2-benzopyrone 1 mM, (IABP) I-6-amino-1,2-benzopyrone 250 pM, (NO 2 BP) 6nitro-1,2-benzopyrone (weakly active) 250 JM, NCOP 10 AM, and NOBA 10 AM. The results of the experiments are provided in figure 5A. Whereas the 6-amino-1,2-benzopyrone, 5-I-6-amino-1,2benzopyrone and the 6-nitro derivative were toxic at the tested given doses, the almost ineffective (against tumor cells) G-nitro WO 93/07868 PCT/US91/08902 -24derivative and the highly effective (against tumor cells) NOBP and NOBA were non-toxic.
The effects of 10/m NOBP and NOBA on superoxide generation by normal human peripheral blood neutrophil leukocytes was tested. The results are provided in table II. Only minor reductions in superoxide generation were observed.

Comparative Efficacy Studies Vincristine, a highly toxic chemetherapeutic compound, is the currently used in the treatment of leukemia and other malignancies. Studies were performed in order to determine the concentration of vincristine that produces the same level of growth inhibition as 10 LM NOBP, when assayed on 855-2 leukemia cells grown in vitro. Vincristine was tested in doses of 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 AM. As shown in FigUre 7. 100 AM of vincristine (a highly toxic concentration) was required to produce the same level of inhibition as 10 iM of NOBP, thus NOBP is about times more potent than an equal concentration of vincristine, and is not toxic to normal cells.
Thus certain aromatic nitroso molecules that are alto inhibitors of ADPRT polymerase activity WO 9307868 PCT/US91/08902 may be useful chemotherapeutic cytostatic agents because of their effectiveness combined with low toxicity.
VIII. Anti-HIV action of NOBP. NOBA and NQOon stimulated human lymphoblasts.
The ability of NOBP (6-nitroso-1,2benzopyrone) and NOBA (3-nitrosobenzamide) to inhibit HIV infections were tested using the methods described in the Journal of Immunological Methods 76:171-183 (1985).
Exposure to the two drugs was only for minutes at the commencement of viral infection, and drugs were never re-added. The results given in Table III provide the ID, of HIV titer days after infection of cell cultures with HIV. The data in Table III demonstrate that JM of the nitroso-containing ligands causes a three log decrease in the HIV-1 infectivity titer.

Cytocidal Activity of ADRPT ligands MTT Experimets were perfornted to determine if the inhibition of proliferation of 855-2 cells seen in culture and in soft agar is due to the cytostatic or cytocidal effect of the nitroso compounds NOBP, NOBA, and NC'. Cells at WO 93/07868 PCI/US91/08902 -26- 1xl10/ml (concentration used in bone marrow assay) were treated with NOBP, NOBA and NOQ at 1, 2.5, 5 and 10/m for 2 hours then stimulated with 10% fetal calf serum and incubated for 24 hours. MTT (3-[4,5-Dimethyl-2-yl]-2,5diphenyltetrazolium bromide) at 1 mg/ml was then added for 16 hours. The absorbance of the pelleted cell was then measured at 550nm after adding DMSO to solubilze the cells.
Results: With 10pM NOBP, NOBA and NOQ, complete killing was observed in 855-2 cells at 100,000/ml.
