Description

Inhibitors of Neuraminidases Technical Field The present invention relates to novel compounds, compositions and methods for inhibiting neuraminidase, especially influenza neuraminidase. The invention also contemplates a composition and methods for preventing and treating an influenza infection and processes for making such compounds and synthetic intermediates employed in these processes.
Background of the Invention Many disease-causing microorganisms possess a neuraminidase neuraminidase (also known as sialidase) which is involved in the replication process of the microorganism. In particular, viruses of the orthomyxovirus and paramyxovirus groups possess a neuraminidase. Diseases associated with paramyxoviruses include RSV (respiratory syncytial virus-related diseases), pneumonia and bronchiolitis (associated with paramyxovirus type 3) and laryngotracheobronchitis (associated with paramyxovirus type 1 ). Some of the more important disease-causing microorganisms in man and/or animals which possess a neuraminidase include Vibrio cholerae, Clostridium perfringens, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Arthrobacter sialophilus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, mumps virus, Newcastle disease virus, fowl plague virus, equine influenza virus and Sendai virus.
Mortality due to influenza is a serious problem throughout the world. The disease is devastating to man, lower mammals and some birds. Although vaccines containing attenuated influenza virus are available, those vaccines only provide immunological protection toward a few influenza strains and are less effective in otherwise immunologically compromised populations such as the elderly, young children, and in those who suffer from chronic respiratory illness.
The productivity loss from absence due to sickness from influenza virus infection has been estimated to be more than $1 billion per year.
There are two major strains of influenza virus (designated A and B).
Currently, there are only a few pharmaceutical products approved for treating influenza. These include amantadine and rimantadine, which are active only against the A strain of influenza viruses, and ribavirin, which suffers from dose-limiting toxicity. Mutant virus which is resistant to amantadine and rirnantadine emerges quickly during treatment with these agents.
Neuraminidase is one of two major viral proteins which protrude from the envelope of influenza virus. During the release of progeny virus from infected cells, neuraminidase cleaves terminal sialic acid residues from glycoproteins, glycalipids and oligosaccharides on the cell surface. Inhibition of neuraminidase enzymatic activity leads to aggregation of progeny virus at the surface. Such virus is incapable of infecting new cells, and viral replication is therefore retarded or blocked. X-ray crystallographic studies and sequence alignments have shown that the residues which directly contact the sialic acid portion of the substrate are strictly conserved in the neuraminidase from all A and B influenza strains.
Thus, a compound which binds to the sialic acid binding region of the neuraminidase active site will block the replication of both the A and B strains of influenza virus.
Compounds which are influenza neuraminidase inhibitors will be useful for the _2_ prevention of influenza infection and will be useful for the treatment of influenza infection.

The compounds of the invention can comprise asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms. As a result, all stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention are meant to be included in the invention, including racemic mixtures, mixtures of diastereomers, as well as individual optical isomers, including, enantiomers and single diastereomers of the compounds of the invention substantially free from their enantiomers or other diastereomers. By "substantially free" is meant greater than about 80% free of other enantiomers or diastereomers of the compound, more preferably greater than about 90% free of other enantiomers or diastereomers of the compound, even more preferably greater than about 95%
free of other enantiomers or diastereomers of the compound, even more highly preferably greater than about 98% free of other enantiomers or diastereomers of the compound and most preferably greater than about 99% free of other enantiomers or diastereomers of the compound.
In addition, compounds comprising the possible geometric isomers of carbon-carbon double bonds and carbon-nitrogen double are also meant to be included in this invention.
Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of this invention can be prepared by any one of a number of methods which are within the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art. These methods include stereospecific synthesis, chromatographic separation of diastereomers, chromatographic resolution of enantiomers, conversion of enantiomers in an enantiomeric mixture to diastereomers and then chromatographically separating the diastereomers and regeneration of the individual enantiomers, enzymatic resolution and the like.
Stereospecific synthesis involves the use of appropriate chiral starting materials and synthetic reactions which do not cause racemization or inversion of stereochemistry at the chiral centers.
Diastereomeric mixtures of compounds resulting from a synthetic reaction can often be separated by chromatographic techniques which are well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers can be accomplished on chiral chromatography resins. Chromatography columns containing chiral resins are commercially available. In practice, the racemate is placed in solution and loaded onto the column containing the chiral stationary phase. The enantiomers are then separated by HPLC.
Resolution of enantiomers can also be accomplished by converting the enantiomers in the mixture to diastereomers by reaction with chiral auxiliaries.
The resulting diastereomers can then be separated by column chromatography.
This technique is especially useful when the compounds to be separated contain a carboxyl, amino or hydroxyl group that will form a salt or covalent bond with the chiral auxiliary. Chirally pure amino acids, organic carboxylic acids or organosulfonic acids are especially useful as chiral auxiliaries. Once the diastereorners have been separated by chromatography, the individual enantiomers can be regenerated. Frequently, the chiral auxiliary can be recovered and used again.
Enzymes, such as esterases, phosphatases and lipases, can be useful for resolution of derivatives of the enantiomers in an enantiomeric mixture. For example, an ester derivative of a carboxyl group in the compounds to be separated can be prepared. Certain enzymes will selectively hydrolyze only one of the enantiomers in the mixture. Then the resulting enantiomerically pure acid can be separated from the unhydrolyzed ester.
In addition, solvates and hydrates of the compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII or IX are meant to be included in this invention.
When any variable (for example R', R2, R3, m, n, etc.) occurs more than one time in any substituent or in the compound of Formula I, II, II1, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII or IX or any other formula herein, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. In addition, combinations of substituents are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. Stable compounds are compounds which can be isolated in a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture.
This invention is intended to encompass compounds having Formula I, I1, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII or IX when prepared by synthetic processes or by metabolic processes. Preparation of the compounds of the invention by metabolic processes include those occurring in the human or animal body (in vivo) or processes occurring in vitro.
Compounds of the invention can be prepared according to the methods described in Schemes 1-8 as shown below.
Throughout the schemes, methods will be illustrated wherein R' is a carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid ester substituent. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that other R' substituents can (a) be obtained either from the carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid .ester group, (b) can be introduced by similar methods to those used to introduce the carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid ester group or (c) can be introduced by other methods generally known in the art.
In adddition, throughout the schemes, methods will be illustrated wherein R4, R6, R', R8, R9 and R'° are hydrogen. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that compounds wherein one or more of these substituents is other than hydrogen can be prepared by methods analogous to those disclosed in the schemes or by other methods generally known in the art.
In addition, throughout the schemes, methods will be illustrated for obtaining compounds of the invention having the preferred relative stereochemistry. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that compounds of the invention having other relative stereochemistry can be prepared by methods analogous to those disclosed in the schemes or by other methods generally known in the art.

In addition, throughout the schemes, methods will be illustrated wherein X
is -C(=O)-NH-. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that other X
groups can be prepared by methods analogous to those disclosed in the schemes or by other methods generally known in the art.
Compounds of the invention can be prepared according to the procedure described in Scheme 1. N-protected amino acid 1 (P' is an N-protecting group, for example, t-butoxycarbonyl or the like) can be prepared by N-protection of amino acid ((t)-(2R,3S)-2-Amino-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-3-carboxylic acid;
Stajer, G. et al. Tetrahedron, 40, 2385 {1984)). Formation of an anhydride derivative of the acid (for example, by reaction with ethyl chloroformate or the like), followed by reduction (for example, with sodium borohydride or the like) provides alcohol 2. The alcohol group is oxidized (for example, by Swern oxidation or the like) to provide aldehyde 3. Reductive amination of the aldehyde (for example with benzyl amine and Na(Ac0)3BH or the like) provides N-protected amine 4 (P2 is an N-protecting group, such as benzyl and the like).
A
second N-protecting group can be introduced to give 5 (P3 is an N-protecting group, for example, benzyioxycarbonyl or the like). Optionally, the mono-protected amino group can be alkylated (for example, by reaction with a non-nucleophilic base and an alkyl halide). The bicyclic ring is oxidatively cleaved (for example, with RuOZ and Na104 or the like) to give a diacid which is esterified to give diester 6 (P4 is a carboxylic acid protecting group, for example, loweralkyl, such as methyl, ethyl or the like). The N-protecting groups P2 and P3 are selectively removed (for example, by hydrogenation or the like) to provide amine 7. Amine 7 can be further functionalized to complete the introduction of the X- substituent (for example, by reaction of the amine with an acylating agent such as acetic anhydride or the like) to give 8. Removal of the acid protecting groups P4 (for example, by base hydrolysis) provides diacid 9. Diacid 9 can be monoprotected (for example, by treatment with acetic anhydride, followed by methanol and triethylamine) and chromatographic separation to give 10 (P5 is a carboxylic acid protecting group, for example, loweralkyl or the like). The acid group of 10 can also be transformed to a variety of substituents Y of the compounds of the invention using methods known to those skilled in the art to give 11, followed by N-deprotection, to give compounds of the invention 12.
As shown in Scheme 2, substituents R3 can be introduced via reaction of aldehyde 3 with a Grignard reagent (for example, R3MgBr or the like) to give alcohol 13. Oxidation of alcohol 13 (for example, Swern oxidation or the like) provides ketone 14. Reductive amination of ketone 14 (for example, by reaction with ammonium acetate and sodium cyanoborohydride in methanol or the like) gives amine 15. Amine 15 can be further functionalized to complete introduction of the R2-X- substituent (for example, by reaction of the amine with an acylating agent such as acetic anhydride or the like or by other acylation methods), followed by chromatographic separation of the diastereomers to give 16a. The other diastereomer (16b) can also be isolated and further transformed according to the scheme.
Oxidation of 16a and esterification gives 17 (in a manner analogous to that disclosed in Scheme 1). Also similar to Scheme 1, the diacid resulting from hydrolysis of diester 17 can be selectively protected to give give 1$, which can then be transformed to compounds of the invention 19.
As shown in Scheme 3, diol 20 is selectively diprotected (Culbertson, et al., Journal of the American Chemical Society 82, 2541-2547 (1960)) by reaction with one equivalent of a hydroxy protecting agent, followed by reaction with a second hydroxy protecting agent, to give 21 (P6 is a hydroxy protecting group, for example, acetyl or the like and P' is a hydroxy protecting group, for example, benzyl or the like). Oxidation and esterification provide 22. Removal of protecting group P', followed by transformation of the hydroxy group to an amine, which is then N-protected, provides 24. Transformation of 24 in a manner analogous to the transformation of 2 to 11 or 12 in Scheme 1 provides compounds of the invention 27 or 28.
As shown in Scheme 4, alcohol 31 can be transformed to compounds of the invention 38 in a manner analogous to the transformation of 13 to 19 in Scheme 2.
As shown in Scheme 5, aldehyde 39 can be reacted with a Grignard reagent to introduce substituent R3 to give 40. Oxidation (for exampie, by Swern oxidation or the like) provides 41a, which can be epimerized (for example, with sodium methoxide or the like) and 41 b can be obtained by chromatography.
Ketone 41b can be transformed to compounds of the invention 47 in a manner analogous to the transformation of 14 to 19 in Scheme 2.
As shown in Scheme 6, olefin 48 (P8 is a hydroxy protecting group) is converted to alcohol 48a (for example, by reaction with borane dimethylsulfide complex and hydrogen peroxide or the like). Oxidation of the alcohol to a carboxylic acid, followed by esterification with a carboxylic acid protecting group P9 and deprotection of the diol, provides 49. Selective protection of the primary alcohol with a hydroxy protecting group P'° gives 50. Oxidation of 50 (for example, Swern oxidation or the like) provides ketone 51. Reductive amination of ketone 51 (for example, by reaction with ammonium acetate and sodium cyanoborohydride in methanol or the like) gives amine 52. Amine 52 can be further functionalized to complete the introduction of the R2-X- substituent ( for example, by reaction with an acylating agent such as acetic anhydride or the like or by other acylation methods), followed by chromatographic separation of the diastereomers to give 53a. The other diastereomeric amide (53b) can also be isolated and further functionalized according to this scheme.
Selective removal of the P8 hydroxy protecting group in 53a provides alcohol 54. Oxidation of the alcohol to an aldehyde (for example, Swern oxidation or the like) provides 55. The aldehyde can serve as a precursor for various substituents Y in the compounds of the invention. For example, olefination of 55 (for example, with Ph3PCH2, or triphenylphosine/methylene chlorideln-BuLi, or I-Ph3P+CH2CH~/KOtBu, or the like) provides 56 wherein Y
is an olefinic substituent. Removal of the P'° hydroxy protecting group gives alcohol 57.
The alcohol can serve as a precursor for a variety of R3 substituents in the compounds of the invention. For example, the alcohol of 57 can be oxidized to an aldehyde -(for example, by Dess-Martin oxidation or the like) to give 58.
Aldehyde 58 can be reacted with Grignard reagents (R'4MgBr or the like) or other organometallic reagents (for example, organolithium reagents such as R'aLi or the like) to provide 59 as a mixture of alcohol diastereomers which can be separated chromatographically to provide the major isomer 59a and the other isomer 59b. Isomer 59a or the mixture of isomers 59 can be oxidized (for example, by Dess-Martin oxidation or the like) to give ketone 62. Reduction of ketone 62 (for example, with sodium borohydride in ethanol or the like) provides alcohol 59b as the major isomer, which can be isolated by chromatography.
Ester hydrolysis provides compounds of the invention 63a or fi3b, respectively, wherein Y is an olefinic substituent.
Alkylation of alcohol 59a or 59b provides ethers 60a or 60b, respectively.
Ester hydrolysis provides compounds of the invention 61a or 61b, respectively, wherein Y is an olefinic substituent.
As shown in Scheme 7, reaction of ketone 62 with with Grignard reagents (R3'aMgBr or the like) or other organometallic reagents (for example, organolithium reagents such as R3'aLi or the like) provides alcohols 64a and 64b as a mixture of alcohol diastereomers which can be separated chromatographically. Ester hydrolysis provides compounds of the invention fi5a or 65b, respectively, wherein Y is an olefinic substituent.

Alkylation of alcohol 64a or 64b provides ethers 66a or 66b, respectively.
Ester hydrolysis provides compounds of the invention 67a or 67b, respectively, wherein Y is an olefinic substituent.
Scheme 8 shows the preparation of precursor 74 for compounds of the invention which are substituted tetrahydrofurans. Alcohol 68 is oxidized to a ketone (for example, by Swern oxidation or the like), followed by oxidation of the olefin to a diol (for example, by treatment with Os04 and N-methylmorpholine N-oxide or the like) to give 69. Diol 69 is protected as the acetonide 70.
Oxidation of 70 (for example, with MCPBA -or the like) provides lactone 71. Iodination via the enolate .-of 71 provides 72. Reaction of 72 with potassium carbonate and methanol provides ester 73. Reduction of the ester provides aldehyde 74. The aldehyde provides a functional group via which substituents R3 and R2-X- can be introduced. Deprotection of the diol and oxidation of the diol provides functional groups via which substituents Y and R' can be introduced.
Esters or prodrugs of the compounds of the invention can be prepared by methods known in the art.

Neuraminidase Inhibition Assav:
Influenza virus A/N1/PRIB/34 was grown in the allantoic cavity of fertilized eggs and purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation (Layer, W. G.
(1969) in "Fundamental Techniques in Virology" (K. Habel and N. P. Salzman, eds.) pp.
92-86, Academic Press, New York). Influenza virus A/N2/Tokyo/3/67 was obtained from the tissue culture supernatents of virus grown on MDCK cells.
Neuraminidase from B/Memphis/3/89 virus was prepared by digestion of the virus with TPCK-trypsin followed by centrifugation and then purification of the neuraminidase catalytic fragment using sucrose density gradient centrifugation and dialysis as described previously (Air, G. M., Layer, W. G., Luo, M., Stray, S. J., Legrone, G., and Webster, R. G. (1990) Virolo 177, 578-587).
The neuraminidase inhibition assays used the neuraminidase enzymatic activity associated with the A/N11PR/8/34 or A/N2ITokyo/3167 whole virus, or the B/Memphisl3/89 catalytic head fragment. The whole virus or catalytic fragment was diluted appropriately with 20 mM N-ethylmorpholine, 10 mM calcium choride, pH 7.5 buffer on the day of the experiment. Neuraminidase inhibition assays were conducted in 20 mM N-ethylmorpholine, 10 mM calcium choride, pH 7.5 buffer with 5% DMSO. Reaction mixtures included neuraminidase, inhibitor (test compound) and 20-30,uM 4-methylumbeiliferyl sialic acid substrate in a total volume of 200,uL and were contained in white 96-well U-shaped plates.
Typically, five to eight concentrations of inhibitor were used for each Ki value measurement.
The reactions were initiated by the addition of enzyme and allowed to proceed for 30-60 minutes at room temperature. The fluorescence for each well of the plate was measured once each minute during the reaction period by a Fluoroskan Il plate reader (ICN Biomedical) equipped with excitation and emission filters of +/- 35 nm and 460 +/- 25 nm, respectively. The plate reader was under the control of DeItaSoft II software {Biometallics) and a Macintosh computer. If the compound exhibited linear reaction velocities during the reaction period, then ttie reaction velocities for the dose-response study were fit to equation 1 using a nonlinear regression program (Kaleidagraph) to determine the overall Ki value (Segel, I. H. (1975) in Enzyme Kinetics, pp. 105-106, Wiley-Interscience, New York).
(1 - Vi/Vo) _ [I]/ {[I] + Ki(1 + [S]/Km)} eqn 1 In equation 1, Vi and Vo represent inhibited and uninhibited reaction velocities, respectively, and Km = 16 - 40,uM depending on the neuraminidase strain tested. For those compounds exhibiting slow-binding inhibition (Morrison, J.
F.
{1982) Trends Biochem. Sci. 7, 102-105), a second experiment was performed in a manner identical to the first except that neuraminidase and inhibitor were preincubated in the absence of substrate for 2 hours at room temperature prior to initiating the reactions with substrate. Data analysis for the resulting linear velocities was conducted as described above.
Equation 2 was used to measure Ki values in the sub-nanomofar range (Morrison; J. F. And Stone, S. R. (1985) Comments Mol. Cell Biophys. 2, 347-368).
V = A{sqrt{(Ki' + It -Et)~2 + 4Ki'Et} - (Ki' + It - Et)] eqn. 2 In equation 2, V = velocity; A = akcat[S]I2(Km + [S]); a is a factor to convert fluorescence units to molar concentrations; Ki' = Ki(1 + [S]IKm); It = total inhibitor concentration and Et = total active concentration. of neuraminidase.
The compounds of the invention inhibit influenza A neuraminidase and influenza B neuraminidase with Ki values between about 24 micromolar and about 0.9 micromolar.

The ability of the compounds of the invention to inhibit plaque formation in cell culture can be determined by the method described below.
Cell Culture Pla4ue Formation Inhibition Assay Cell Cultures: MDCK cells obtained from the American Type Culture Collection were grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) high glucose (GibcoBRL) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (JRH Biosciences), 40 mM
HEPES buffer (GibcoBRL) and antibiotics {GibcoBRL). Cells were routinely cultured in flasks or roller bottles at 37°C and 5% C02. At confluence cells were reduced to a density of 500,000 cells in a ml using trypsin/EDTA (GibcoBRL) treatment of the monolayer followed by cell centrifugation, resuspension, and dilution into growth media. Cells were planted at a volume to surface area ratio of 1 ml over 1 cm2 of growth surface.
Plaque Assay Protocol: On MDCK cell confluent 6 well plates growth media was removed and the cells were overlaid with 1.5 ml of assay media (DMEM with 1 % fetal calf serum, 40 mM HEPES buffer and antibiotics) containing pre-mixed virus (influenza A/Tokyo/3167 [H2N2]) (40 -100 plaque forming units) and 2x concentration test compound. The plates were placed on a rocker and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. During the virus adsorption period agar overlay media was prepared. In a microwave oven 2X agarose (final concentration of 0.6% agarose) in overlay media (DMEM with 40 mM HEPES buffer) was melted and then placed in a 48°C water bath for temperature equilibration.
After the virus adsorption period was completed 1.5 ml agar over media was added and mixed with the 1.5 ml virus and test compound containing media per well.
Cultures were incubated at 35°C for the period required for plaque development, usually several days. Plaques were fixed with 3.7% formaiin in PBS for 20 minutes followed by removal of the agar overlay and staining with 0.1 % crystal violet in distilled water for 15 minutes. Plaques were counted and EC 50 concentration determined from multiple concentrations of the tested compound using regression analysis.
Viral Stocks: Stocks were prepared in MDCK confluent roller bottles incubated at 37°C in DMEM supplemented with 1 % FCS, 40mM HEPES buffer, and antibiotics. Bottles were inoculated with a multiplicity of infection of approximately 0.1 plaque forming unit for each cell. Roller bottles were harvested after the cytopathic effect of the virus was observed to be complete. Stocks were prepared from the supernatant resulting from the low speed centrifugation of the media and cell iysate. Stocks were titered and stored at -80°C.
The compounds of the invention can be tested for in vivo antiviral activity using the method described below.
In Vivo Antiviral Efficac rLMethod Female BALB/c mice were placed under anesthesia {sevoflurane) and inoculated intranasally (IN) with 0.1 ml of influenza A VR-95 (Puerto Rico PR8-34) at 10-2 (diluted from frozen stock). This viral concentration consistently produced disease in mice within 5 days of inoculation. Animals were treated 4h.
pre-infection and 4h. post-infection, and periodically thereafter, with one of the following therapies: no treatment; test compound (100, 25, 6.25, 1.39 mg/kg/day BID, PO); or vehicle (sterile water BID, PO). A group of ten animals (designated as control) was inoculated with 0.9% saline. Percent survival was determined.
On day five, lungs were harvested, weighed and assigned scores of 0,1, 2, 3 or based on percentage consolidation (0; 10-20; 25-50; 50-75; 75-100%, respectively). In addition, each lung pair was image analyzed to determine objective lung consolidation percentages.

Other examples of prodrugs of the present invention include esters of hydroxyl-substituted compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VI1, VIII or IX which have been acylated with a blocked or unblocked amino acid residue, a phosphate function, a hemisuccinate residue, an acyl residue of the formula R'°°C(O)- or R'°°C(S}- wherein R'°° is hydrogen, lower alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, thioalkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, thioaikoxyalkyl or haloalkoxy, or an acyl residue of the formula Ra-C(Rb)(Rd)-C(O)- or Ra-C(Rb)(Rd)-C(S)- wherein Rb and Rd are independently selected from hydrogen or lower alkyl and Ra is -N(Re)(Rf), -ORe or -SRe wherein Re and Rf are independently selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl and haloaikyl, or an amino-acyl residue having the formula R'°'NH(CH2)2NHCH2C(O)- or R'°'NH(CHZ)20CHZC(0}- wherein R'°' is hydrogen, lower alkyl, (aryl)alkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, acyl, benzoyl or an a-amino acyl group. The amino acid esters of particular interest are of glycine and lysine; however, other amino acid residues can also be used, including any of the naturally occuring amino acids and also including those wherein the amino acyl group is -C(O)CH2NR'°zR'°3 wherein R'°2 and R'°3 are independently selected from hydrogen and lower alkyl, or the group -NR'°2 R'°3, where R'°2 and R'°3, taken together, forms a nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring.
Other prodrugs include a hydroxyl-substituted compound of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, Vlll or IX wherein the hydroxyl group is functionalized with a substituent of the formula -CH(R'°4)OC(O)R'°5 or -CH(R'°4)OC(S)R'o5 wherein R'°5 is lower alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, thioalkoxy or haloalkoxy and R'°4 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl or dialkylaminocarbonyl. Such prodrugs can be prepared according to the procedure of Schreiber (Tetrahedron Lett. 1983, 24, 2363) by ozonolysis of the corresponding rnethallyl ether in methanol followed by treatment with acetic anhydride.

The preparation of esters of hydroxyl-substituted compounds of formula Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, Vlli or IX is carried out by reacting a hydroxyl-substituted compound of formula Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII or IX, with an activated amino acyl, phosphoryl, hemisuccinyl or acyl derivative.
Prodrugs of hydroxyl-substituted-compounds of the invention can also be prepared by alkylation of the hydroxyl substituted compound of formula Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VI1, VIII or IX, with (halo)alkyl esters, transacetalization with bis-(alkanoyl)acetals or condensation of the hydroxyl group with an activated aldehyde followed by acylation of the intermediate hemiacetal.
In preparing prodrugs it often is necessary to protect other reactive functional groups, in order to prevent unwanted side reactions. After protection of the reactive groups the desired group can be functionalized. The resulting functionalized product is then deprotected, to remove the protecting groups that were added to prevent unwanted side reactions. This will provide the desired prodrug. Suitable reaction conditions for preparing protecting groups are well known in the art. One source for reaction conditions is found in T.H. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Or acLnic Synthesis, 2nd edition, John Wiley &
Sons, New York (1991 ).
This invention also encompasses compounds of the Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII or IX which are esters or prodrugs and which are also salts. For example, a compound of the invention can be an ester of a carboxylic acid and also an acid addition salt of an amine or nitrogen-containing substituent in the same compound.

The compounds of the present invention are also useful for the treatment of infections caused by influenza viruses, orthomyxoviruses, and paramyxoviruses in vivo, especially the human diseases caused by influenza A and influenza B viruses.
The compounds of the present invention are also useful for the prophylaxis of infections caused by influenza viruses, orthomyxoviruses, and paramyxoviruses in vivo in humans and other mammals, especially the prophylaxis of influenza A
and influenza B viral infections; and, in particular, the prophylaxis of influenza A
and influenza B viral infections in human subjects who are at high risk of developing other respiratory diseases concurrent with or as a consequence of influenza virus infections, or who suffer from chronic respiratory illness, such as asthma, emphysema, or cystic fibrosis.
Total daily dose administered to a human or other mammal host in single or divided doses may be in amounts, for example, from 0.001 to 300 mg/kg body weight daily and more usually 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight daily. Dosage unit compositions may contain such amounts of submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.
The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration.

It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy.
Administration of a compound of this invention will begin before or at the time of infection or after the appearance of established symptoms andlor the confirmation of infection.
The compounds of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, sublingually, intranasally, by intrapulmonary administration, by inhalation or insufflation as a solution, suspension or dry powder (for example, in a spray), or rectally, in dosage unit formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles as desired. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques.
Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-propanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution.
in addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable nonirritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration may include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose lactose or starch.
Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
The compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or mufti-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium.
Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic.

Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Bioloay, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. {1976}, p. 33 et seq.
While the compounds of the invention can be administered as the sole active pharmaceutical agent, they can also be used in combination with one or more anti-infective agents and/or other agents used to treat other acute or chronic respiratory ailments. Other agents to be administered in combination with a compound of the present invention include: an influenza vaccine; other influenza inhibitors such as, for example, amantadine, rimantadine, ribavirin, and the like; another influenza neuraminidase inhibitor, such as, for example, zanamivir or GS 4104 and the like; agents used to treat respiratory bacterial infections and bronchitis, such as, for example, erythromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin and the like; and agents used to treat asthma, such as, for example, zileuton, albuterol (safbutamol), salmeterol, formoterol, ipratropium bromide, inhaled steroids and the like, or anti-inflammatory agents for treating asthma such as, for example, beclomethasone dipropionate, fluticasone propionate, budesonide, triamcinolone acetonide, flunisolide, cromolyn, zafirlukast, montelukast used in combination with a compound of the present invention.
When administered as a combination, the therapeutic agents can be formulated as separate compositions which are given at the same time or different times, or the therapeutic agents can be given as a single composition.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the disclosed compounds. Variations and changes which are obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be within the scope and nature of the invention which are defined in the appended claims.
