INTRAVENOUS ANTIVIRAL TREATMENTS
Related Applications This patent document claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Application No.
60/772,748, filed February 13, 2006, and of International Application No.
PCT/US2006/013535, filed April 12, 2006.
Background The influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitor peramivir has marked activity against the influenza virus in vitro and in experimentally infected mice (Govorkova et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 45(10), 2723-2732 (2001); and Smee etal., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 45(3), 743-748 (2001)). Unfortunately, clinical trials using this drug showed a suboptimal therapeutic effect on influenza infection in humans following oral administration over a period of days. Currently there is a need for methods and formulations that are useful for treating viral infections (e.g., influenza infections) in humans.
Summary It has unexpectedly been discovered that a single intravenous administration of peramivir to a mouse is effective to treat influenza. These findings are unexpected not only because of the high effectiveness of a single administration of the compound, but also because of the low dose of the compound that was found to provide effective treatment. The ability to obtain therapeutically useful effects with a single administration is important inter alia because it minimizes patient compliance issues resulting from the need for multiple administrations. Additionally, the administration of a low dose is important because it minimizes cost and the potential for side-effects. It has also been unexpectedly discovered that intravenous and intramuscular injections of peramivir to humans provides high plasma concentrations of peramivir with an extended half-life.

3a Brief Description of the Figures Figure 1. Figure 1 depicts plasma peramivir concentration time curves after 15 minute intravenous infusions of peramivir to healthy human volunteers.
Figure 2. Figure 2 depicts plasma peramivir concentration time curves after intramuscular injections of peramivir to healthy human volunteers.
Detailed Description The influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitor peramivir has been previously shown to have marked activity against influenza virus in vitro and in experimentally infected mice (Govorkova et al., (2001); and Smee etal., (2001)). Unfortunately, clinical trials using this drug showed an inadequate inhibitory effect on influenza in humans.
This effect was attributed to a poor adsorption of the drug when administered once daily orally in patients.
It has been discovered that peramivir is well adsorbed when administered intravenously (i.v.) in mice and that the compound remains at relatively high levels in the plasma for at least 6 hours. A series of experiments presented herein indicates that a single treatment of peramivir given i.v. will protect mice infected with an influenza virus.

Mice infected with influenza A/Duck/MN/1525/81 (H5N1) virus were treated a single time iv. 1 hour pre-virus exposure with peramivir at doses of 20, 10 and 3 mg/kg. Peramivir was significantly protective to the mice at the two highest dosages used, as seen by prevention of deaths, lessening of lung consolidation, and inhibition of lung virus titers. The 3 mg/kg dose was moderately inhibitory to lung parameters. The compound appeared well tolerated in concomitantly run toxicity controls. These data indicate that a single i.v. peramivir treatment is efficacious in influenza virus-infected mice.
The compounds used in the invention are known in the art and can be synthesized by the art worker using available methods (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No.

The compounds of formula I, II, III, and IV can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions and administered to a mammalian host, such as a human patient, by intravenous routes. Solutions of the active compound or its salts can be prepared in water, optionally mixed with a nontoxic surfactant.
Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, triacetin, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical dosage forms suitable for injection or infusion can include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions or sterile powders comprising the active ingredient(s) which are adapted for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable or infusible solutions or dispersions, optionally encapsulated in liposomes. In all cases, the ultimate dosage form should be sterile, fluid and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. The liquid carrier or vehicle can be a solvent or liquid dispersion medium comprising, for example, water, ethanol, a polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and the like), vegetable oils, nontoxic glyceryl esters, and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the formation of liposomes, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions or by the use of surfactants.

These data indicate that peramivir is a significant influenza inhibitor when used in a single i.v. injection.
Example 2. Effects of IV and IM Treatment with Peramivir in Humans Peramivir was studied in a placebo-controlled phase I clinical study in healthy human volunteers to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetic parameters using intravenous and intramuscular administrations. Blood samples were 28 =

collected from the subjects at different time points after drug administration to determine the concentration of the drug in plasma. The time course plots are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 for intravenous and intramuscular administrations respectively.
In the intravenous study, peramivir concentrations followed linear kinetics with an unusually extended plasma half life of greater than 12 hours. At doses of 2 mg/kg and above, the level of peramivir in plasma at 48 hours post-dose is greater than the IC50 for all strains of influenza virus tested, including H5 virus types. For doses greater than 4 mg/kg, even at 72 hours, the levels of the drug are greater than the IC50 values.
In the intramuscular study, peramivir concentrations also followed linear kinetics with an unusually extended plasma half life. Even at 72 hours post-dosing, the levels of peramivir are higher than the IC50 values for all the influenza virus strains tested.
The long plasma half-life and the high levels of peramivir in human volunteers are unusual and unexpected findings and indicate that intravenous and intramuscular administrations of peramivir are beneficial in the treatment of influenza in humans.
