Definitions

  • viruses have been identified which are members of the family Herpesviridae (reviewed in Roizman, B. 1996. Herpesviridae, p. 2221-2230. In B. N. Fields, D. M. Knipe, and P. M. Howley (ed.), Fields Virology, 3rd ed. Lippincott- Raven Publishers, Philadelphia, PA).
  • Each member of this family is characterized by an enveloped virus containing proteinaceous tegument and nucleocapsid, the latter of which houses the viruses' relatively large double-stranded DNA genome (i.e. approximately 80-250 kilobases).
  • HSV-1 and HSV-2 herpes simplex virus type 1
  • HSV-2 herpes simplex virus type 2
  • VZV varicella- zoster virus
  • the human betaherpesviruses are cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7).
  • the gammaherpesviruses are lymphotropic and include Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's herpesvirus (HHV-8). Each of these herpesviruses is causally- related to human disease, including herpes labialis and herpes genitalis (HSV-1 and HSV-2 [Whitley, R.J. 1996.
  • Herpes Simplex Viruses p. 2297-2342.
  • B. N. Fields, D. M. Knipe, and P. M. Howley (ed.), Fields Virology, 3rd ed. Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia, PA] chicken pox and shingles (VZV [Arvin, A. 1996. Varicella-Zoster Virus, p. 2547-2585.
  • infectious mononucleosis EBV [Rickinson, A. B.
  • HCMV Kaposi's sarcoma
  • reactivated virus can be transmitted to infants during birth, causing either skin or eye infection, central nervous system infection, or disseminated infection (i.e. multiple organs or systems). Shingles is the clinical manifestation of VZV reactivation.
  • Treatment of HSV and VZV is generally with antiviral drugs such as acyclovir (Glaxo Wellcome), ganciclovir (Roche) and foscarnet (Asta) which target viral encoded DNA polymerase.
  • HCMV is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen infecting 50-90% of the adult population (Britt, W. J., and Alford, C. A. 1996. Cytomegalovirus, p. 2493-2523. In B. N. Fields, D. M. Knipe, and P. M. Howley (ed.), Fields Virology, 3rd ed. Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia, Pa.).
  • Primary infection with HCMV is usually asymptomatic, although heterophile negative mononucleosis has been observed. The virus is horizontally transmitted by sexual contact, breast milk, and saliva. Intrauterine transmission of HCMV from the pregnant mother to the fetus occurs and is often the cause of serious clinical consequences.
  • HCMV remains in a latent state within the infected person for the remainder of his/her life.
  • Cell-mediated immunity plays a central role in controlling reactivation from latency. Impaired cellular immunity leads to reactivation of latent HCMV in seropositive persons.
  • HCMV disease is associated with deficient or immature cellular immunity.
  • HCMV is one of the two most common pathogens causing clinical disease (the other is Pneumocystis).
  • the most common manifestation of HCMV in AIDS is retinitis, although infection of other organs including the adrenal glands, lungs, GI tract, and central nervous system are also reported frequently.
  • 90% of AIDs patients have active HCMV infection; 25- 40% (-85,000 patients in the United States) have life- or sight-threatening HCMV disease.
  • HCMV is the cause of death in 10% of persons with AIDs.
  • HCMV reactivation or reinfection is common amongst kidney, liver, heart, and allogeneic bone marrow transplant patients. Pneumonia is the most common HCMV disease in these patients, occurring in up to 70% of these transplant patients.
  • Congenital infection due to HCMV occurs in 1% of all births, about 40K per year. Up to 25% of these infants are symptomatic for HCMV disease between ages 0-3 years. HCMV disease is progressive, causing mental retardation and neurological abnormalities, in children. Recent studies suggest that treatment with anti-HCMV drugs may reduce morbidity in these children.
  • ganciclovir a nucleoside analog with hemopoietic cell toxicity
  • foscarnet Astra
  • a pyrophosphate analog with nephrotoxicity Astra
  • cidofovir, Gilead a nucleoside phosphonate with acute nephrotoxicity.
  • Each of these drugs target the viral-encoded DNA polymerase are typically administered intravenously due to their low bioavailability, and, as noted above, are the source of significant toxicity.
  • Ganciclovir-resistant mutants which arise clinically are often cross-resistant with cidofovir. Hence, there is a need for safer (i.e. less toxic), orally bioavailable antiviral drugs which are directed against novel viral targets.
  • Phenyl thioureas are disclosed for use in a variety of pharmaceutical applications. Armistead, et al., WO 97/40028, teaches phenyl ureas and thioureas as inhibitors of the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) enzyme which is taught to play a role in viral replication diseases such herpes.

  • the resulting oil is chromatographed over silica gel (5% ethyl acetate in hexanes is used as the eluant) to provide the desired product as a white powder.
  • Methoxylamine hydrochloride (2.33 g) is added to a solution of 3'-(trifluoromethyl)- acetophenone (1.5 g) in ethanol (20 mL) and pyridine (2 mL). The solution is heated at reflux for 45 minutes. The reaction mixture is then cooled, concentrated under reduced pressure and partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers are washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired product as a colorless oil (1.61 g).
  • the aqueous (acid) layer is basified with sodium hydroxide and extracted twice with ethyl acetate.
  • the organic layer is then washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate.
  • the solvent is removed under reduced pressure to provide the desired product as a yellow oil (0.20 g).
  • Diisobutylaluminum hydride (10 mL of a IM solution in methylene chloride) is added dropwise to a solution of 3-dimethylamino-5-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile (1.06 g) in methylene chloride (25 mL) at 0 °C and the mixture stirred for 2 hours. While still at 0 °C a saturated aqueous solution of sodium potassium tartrate (8 mL) is slowly added and the solution is stirred for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture is then extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the desired product as a yellow solid (0.97 g).
  • Nitromethane (0.473 g) is added to a solution of 3-dimethylamino-5-trifluoromethyl- benzaldehyde (0.885 g) and ammonium acetate (0.339 g) in acetic acid (3.4 mL) and the solution is heated at 110 °C for 6 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to 0 °C and a solid forms which is filtered and washed with 1 : 1 water-acetic acid. This solid is recrystallized from ethanol to provide the desired product as a red solid (0.39 g).
  • Diethylazodicarboxylate (5.2 g) is added dropwise to a solution of 4-bromo- phenethylalcohol (2.01 g), and triphenylphosphine (7.9 g) in diethyl ether (16 mL) at 0 °C.
  • the reaction mixture is stirred for 10 minutes and a solution of acetone cyanohydrin (2.6 g) in diethyl ether (10 mL) is added.
  • the clear orange solution is stirred for 5 minutes at 0 °C and then at 25 °C for 12 hours.
  • the reaction mixture is then filtered, and washed with diethyl ether.
  • the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and chromatographed over silica gel (10% ethyl acetate-hexanes is used as the eluant) to provide the desired product as a pale yellow oil (2.04 g).
