Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pyrone derivatives that are inhibitors of aspartyl proteases, in particular the aspartyl proteases found in retroviruses including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) .
  • the pyrones are expected to have utility as antiviral agents, for the treatment of 10 infection caused by HIV or other retroviruses employing aspartyl proteases, and to be useful in the treatment of diseases caused by the retroviruses, including AIDS.
  • AIDS Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
  • HTV Human Immunodeficiency Virus
  • HIV-l HIV-2
  • HIV will be used as a general term describing a variety of strains and mutants of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
  • the detailed study of HIV has given rise to many approaches to antiviral drug development including inhibition of the viral 25 aspartyl protease (D. Richman, Control of Virus Diseases , 45th Symposium of the Society for General Microbiology, 261-313 (1990)) .
  • Aspartyl proteases have been found in many retroviruses including the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, the 30 Myeloblastosis Associated Virus, HIV, and the Rous Sarcoma * Virus [H. Toh et al . , Nature , 315: 691 (1985); J. Kay, B. M. ⁇ Dunn, Biochim. Biophys . Acta , l: 1048 (1990); C. Cameron et al . , J. Biological Chem . , 168, 11711-720 (1993)]. Since there are structural similarities among the known retroviral 35 proteases, compounds which inhibit the HIV protease may well inhibit other retroviral proteases.
  • HIV aspartyl protease is responsible for post- translational processing of viral precursor polyproteins such as pol and gag. (M. Graves, Structure and Function of the Aspartic Proteases, 395-405 (1991)). Cleavage of these polyproteins by this protease is essential for maturation of the virus, since the proteolytic activity necessary for polyprotein processing cannot be provided by host cellular enzymes. An important finding has been that viruses which lack this protease, or contain a mutation which produces a defective protease, lack infectivity [C. Peng et al . , J. Virol , 63: 2550-2556 (1989) and N. Kohl et al . , Proc. Nati . Acad. Sci .
  • HIV protease inhibitors have been extensively reviewed (see for example A. Tomasselli et al . , Chimica Oggi , 9: 6-27 (1991) and T. Meek, J. Enzyme Inhibition 6: 65-98 (1992)). However, the majority of these inhibitors are peptides and thus unsuitable as drugs, due to the well known pharmacological deficiencies exhibited by most peptide drugs (biliary excretion, low bioavailability and stability in physiological milieu, etc.) Nonpeptidic inhibitors of HIV protease are thus very important, since these may lead to very useful therapeutic agents.
  • Hei 3-227923 claimed coumarins with anti-HIV activity. However, only 4-hydroxycoumarin was specifically described without discussing its mechanism of action.
  • World Patent 89/07939 claimed eight cou arin derivatives as HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors with potential antiviral activity. These derivatives are hexachlorocoumarin, 7-acetoxycoumarin, and the structures shown below.
  • Warfarin (3-( ⁇ -acetonylbenzyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin) , shown below, was reported by R. Nagorny et al . in AIDS, 7: 129-130 (1993) as inhibiting cell-free and cell-mediated HIV infection. However, Warfarin was the only pyrone studied and its mechanism of action in HIV inhibition was not specified.
  • Patent Number 3,206,476 describes several pyrones, specifically 3-substituted-4-hydroxy-6-aryl-2- pyrones, as antihypertensive agents.
  • the range of substituents at the 3-position of these heterocycles is limited to halo and amino groups and alkanoylamino derivatives.
  • United States Patent Number 3,818,046 describes several pyrone derivatives, specifically 4-hydroxypyrones with sulfur- containing carbon chains at the 3-position, as growth stunters and antimicrobial agents. The substitution at the 6-position of these heterocycles is limited to the methyl group.
  • R Me
  • M H or alkali metal
  • the present invention is based in great part on the extraordinary discovery of the inventors that novel tri- and tetrasubstituted pyrones and related compounds, selected from a very broad spectrum of tailored molecular structures, potently inhibit the HIV aspartyl protease blocking infection by HIV.
  • the present invention is also based on the insights of the inventors regarding the mechanism of action of antiviral drugs, especially as revealed by their studies on structure-activity relationships characteristic of anti-HIV compounds that include pyrones.
  • the invented pyrones are expected to be extremely useful in the development of treatments for infections caused by viruses, especially by retroviruses that rely on aspartyl protease activities for replication and infectivity.
  • retrovirus is HIV.
  • virus blockers the pyrones are also expected to be very useful in the treatment of diseases and syndromes associated with viral pathogens.
  • One such syndrome is AIDS.
  • Efficient syntheses of the biologically active pyrones involving either de novo assemblies of the pyrone nucleus or modifications of suitably functionalized pyrones, are disclosed. Furthermore, many working examples outlining the preparation of specific pyrones whose structures contain the desired functional groups in proper geometric arrangements are given.
  • the present inventors contemplate the preparation of pharmaceutically useful antiviral compositions comprising one or more of the invented pyrones and related compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptably carrier. They also contemplate the use of these compositions, alone or in combination with other antiviral treatments, in the treatment of infections and diseases caused by retroviruses, including AIDS.
