  • pharmaceutically acceptable salt refers to a formulation of a compound that does not cause significant irritation to an organism to which it is administered and does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compound.
  • Pharmaceutical salts can be obtained by reacting a compound of the invention with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid and the like.
  • Any amine, hydroxy, or carboxyl side chain on the compounds of the present invention can be esterified.
  • the procedures and specific groups to be used to achieve makes such esters are known to those of skill in the art and can readily be found in reference sources such as Greene and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3 rd Ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY, 1999, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
  • An "amide” is a chemical moiety with formula -(R) n -C(O)NHR' or -(R) compassion- NHC(O)R', where R and R' are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl (bonded through a ring carbon) and heteroalicyclic (bonded through a ring carbon), and where n is 0 or 1.
  • An amide may be an amino acid or a peptide molecule attached to a molecule of the present invention, thereby forming a prodrug.
  • Any amine, hydroxy, or carboxyl side chain on the compounds of the present invention can be esterified or amidified.
  • a "prodrug” refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility over the parent drug.
  • prodrug a compound of the present invention which is administered as an ester (the "prodrug") to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water- solubility is beneficial.
  • a further example of a prodrug might be a short peptide (polyaminoacid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety.
  • prodrug are protected thiol compounds. Thiols bearing hydrolyzable protecting groups can unmask protected SH groups prior to or simultaneous to use. As shown below, the moiety -C(O)-R E of a thioester may be hydrolyzed to yield a thiol and a pharmaceutically acceptable acid HO-C(O)-R E .
  • thiol protecting group refers to thiols bearing hydrolyzable protecting groups that can unmask protected SH groups prior to or simultaneous to use.
  • Preferred thiol protecting groups include but are not limited to thiol esters which release pharmaceutically acceptable acids along with an active thiol moiety. Such pharmaceutically acceptable acids are generally nontoxic and do not abbrogate the biological activity of the active thiol moiety.
  • Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acids include, but are not limited to: N,N-diethylglycine; 4-ethylpiperazinoacetic acid; ethyl 2-methoxy-2- ⁇ henylacetic acid; N,N-dimethylglycine; (nitrophenoxysulfonyl)benzoic acid; acetic acid; maleic acid; fumaric acid; benzoic acid; tartraric acid; natural amino acids (like glutamate, aspartate, cyclic amino acids such proline); D-amino acids; butyric acid; fatty acids like palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleate; pipecolic acid; phosphonic acid; phosphoric acid; pivalate (trimethylacetic acid); succinic acid; cinnamic acid; anthranilic acid; salicylic acid; lactic acid; and pyruvic acids.
  • alkyl refers to an aliphatic hydrocarbon group.
  • the alkyl moiety may be a "saturated alkyl” group, which means that it does not contain any alkene or alkyne moieties.
  • the alkyl moiety may also be an "unsaturated alkyl” moiety, which means that it contains at least one alkene or alkyne moiety.
  • An “alkene” moiety refers to a group consisting of at least two carbon atoms and at least one carbon-carbon double bond
  • an “alkyne” moiety refers to a group consisting of at least two carbon atoms and at least one carbon-carbon triple bond.
  • the alkyl moiety may be branched, straight chain, or cyclic.
  • the alkyl group may have 1 to 20 carbon atoms (whenever it appears herein, a numerical range such as “1 to 20" refers to each integer in the given range; e.g., "1 to 20 carbon atoms” means that the alkyl group may consist of 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, etc., up to and including 20 carbon atoms, although the present definition also covers the occurrence of the term "alkyl” where no numerical range is designated).
  • the alkyl group may also be a medium size alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
  • Typical alkyl groups include, but are in no way limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tertiary butyl, pentyl, hexyl, ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and the like.

Since a drug must be soluble in the gastrointestinal fluid to be orally active, the rate and extent of dissolution depend critically upon intrinsic water solubility (neutral species solubility) ( Dressman, J.; Amindo, G. L.,; Reppas, C; Shah. V. P. Pharm. Res., 1998, 15, 11.) Experimental and computational approaches to estimate solubility and permeability in drug discovery and development setting have been described (Lipinski C. A. et al. 1991 Adv. Drug Delis. Rev. 23, 3-25)Adv. Drug Delis. Rev. 23, 3-25 ).

In this method a compound is extensively shaken in the buffer of choice, filtered through a micropore membrane, and the concentration of dissolved compound in the filtrate determined. This approach results in a thermodynamic solubility assessment. For discovery, it is beneficial to measure kinetic solubility in which a compound DMSO solution is added to aqueous buffer.
