Description

Nitrile-Containing Antiviral Compounds
Background ofthe Invention
The invention relates to compounds and methods of inhibiting viral réplication 5 activity comprising contacting a SARS-CoV-2-related 3C-like (“3CL) protéinase with a therapeutically effective amount of a SARS-CoV-2-related 3C-like protease inhibitor. The invention also relates to methods of treating Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID19”) in a patient by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a SARS-CoV-2related 3C-like protease inhibitor to a patient in need thereof The invention further 10 relates to methods of treating COVID-19 in a patient, the method comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount ofthe SARS-CoV-2-related 3C-like protease inhibitor to a patient in need thereof.
A worldwide outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) has been 15 associated with exposures originating in late 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
By mid-2020 the outbreak of COVID-19 has evolved into a global pandémie with millions of people having been confirmed as infected and resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. The causative agent for COVID-19 has been identified as a novel coronavirus which has been named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 20 2 (“SARS-CoV-2”). The genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2 has been sequenced from isolâtes obtained from nine patients in Wuhan, China and has been found to be ofthe subgenus Sarbecovirus ofthe genus Betacoronavirus. Lu, R. étal. The Lancet, 395, 10224, 565-574; online January 29, 2020. The sequence of SARS-CoV-2 was found to hâve 88% homology with two bat-derived SARS-like coronaviruses, bat-SL-CoVZC45 25 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21, which were collected in 2018 in Zhoushan, eastern China.
SARS-CoV-2 was also found to share about 79% homology with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus (“SARS-CoV”), the causative agent of the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003, and about 50% homology with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (“MERS-CoV”), the causative agent of a respiratory viral 30 outbreak originating in the Middle East in 2012. Based on a recent analysis of 103 sequenced genomes of SARS-CoV-2 it has been proposed that SARS-CoV-2 can be divided into two major types (L and S types) with the S type being ancestral and the L type having evolved from the S-type. Lu, J.; Cui, J. et al. On the origin and continuing évolution of SARS-CoV-2; National Science Review, 7(6),June2020, 1012-1023, http://doi.Org/10.1093/nsr/nwaa036. The S and L types can be clearly defined by just two tightîy linked SNPs at positions 8,782 (orfiab:T8517C, synonymous) and 28,144 (ORF8: C251T, S84L). In the 103 genomes analyzed approximately 70% were ofthe L5 type and approximately 30% were of the S-type. It is unclear if the évolution of the Ltype from the S-type occurred in humans or through a zoonotic intermediate but it appears that the L-type is more aggressive than the S-type and human interférence in attempting to contain the outbreak may hâve shifted the relative abundance of the L and S types soon after the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak began. The discovery ofthe proposed S- and L- subtypes of SARS-CoV-2 raises the possibility that an individual could potentially be infected sequentially with the individual subtypes or be infected with both subtypes at the same time. In view of this evolving threat there is an acute need in the art for an effective treatment for COVID-19 and for methods of inhibiting réplication ofthe SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
Recent evidence clearly shows that the newly emerged coronavirus SARS-CoV-
2, the causative agent of COVID-19 (Centers for Disease Control, CDC) has acquired the ability of human-to-human transmission leading to community spread of the virus. The sequence ofthe SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (“RBD”), including its receptor-binding motif (RBM) that directly contacts the angiotensin- converting enzyme 2 receptor, ACE2, is similar to the RBD and RBM of SARS-CoV, strongly suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 uses ACE2 as its receptor. Wan, Y.; Shang, J.; Graham, R.; Baric, R.S.; Li, F.; Receptor récognition by the novel coronavirus from Wuhan: An analysis based on decade-long structural studies of SARS coronavirus; J. Virol. 2020; doi: 10.1128/JVI.00127-20. Several critical residues in SARS-CoV-2 RBM (particularly Gin493) provide favorable interactions with human ACE2, consistent with SARS-CoV-2's capacity for human cell infection. Several other critical residues in SARS-CoV-2’s RBM (particularly Asn501) are compatible with, but not idéal for, binding human ACE2, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 uses ACE2 binding in some capacity for human-to-human transmission.
Coronavirus réplication and transcription function is encoded by the so-called “replicase” gene (Ziebuhr, J., Snijder, E.J., and Gorbalenya, A.E.; Virus-encoded protéinases and proteolytic processing in the Nidovirales. J. Gen. Virol. 2000, 81, 853879; and Fehr, A.R.; Perlman, S.; Coronaviruses: An OverView of Their Réplication and Pathogenesis, Methods Mol. Biol. 2015; 1282: 1-23. doi;10.1007/978-1-4939-2438-
7_1 ), which consists of two overlapping polyproteins that are extensively processed by viral proteases. The C-proximal région is processed at eleven conserved interdomain junctions by the coronavirus main or “3C-like” protease (Ziebuhr, Snijder, Gorbalenya, 2000 and Fehr, Perlman et al., 2015). The name “3C-like” protease dérivés from certain simîlarities between the coronavirus enzyme and the well-known picornavirus
3C proteases. These include substrate preferences, use of cysteine as an active site nucleophile in catalysis, and similarities in their putative overall polypeptide folds. The SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease sequence (Accession No. YP_009725301.1) has been found to share 96.08% homology when compared with the SARS-CoV 3CL protease (Accession No. YP_009725301.1) Xu, J.; Zhao, S.; Teng, T.; Abdalla, A.E.; Zhu, W.;
Xie, L.; Wang, Y.; Guo, X.; Systematic Comparison of Two Animal-to-Human Transmitted Human Coronaviruses: SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV; Viruses 2020, 12, 244; doi:10.3390/v12020244. Very recently, Hilgenfeld and colleagues published a high-resolution X-ray structure of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus main protease (3CL) Zhang, L.; Lin, D.; Sun, X.; Rox, K.; Hilgenfeld, R.; X-ray Structure of Main Protease of the Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Enables Design of α-Ketoamide Inhibitors; bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.17.952879. The structure indicates that there are différences when comparing the 3CL proteases of SARS-CoV-2 and SARSCoV. In the SARS-CoV but not in the SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease dimer, there is a polar interaction between the two domains III involving a 2.60-A hydrogen bond between the side-chain hydroxyl groups of residue Thr285 of each protomer, and supported by a hydrophobie contact between the side-chain of Ile286 and Thr285 Cy2. In the SARS-CoV-2 3CL, the threonine is replaced by alanine, and the isoleucine by leucine when compared with the same residues in the SARS-CoV 3CL. The Thr285Ala replacement observed in the SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease allows the two domains III to approach each other somewhat doser (the distance between the Ca atoms of residues 285 in molécules A and B is 6.77 Â in SARS-CoV 3CL protease and 5.21 Â in SARSCoV-2 3CL protease and the distance between the centers of mass of the two domains III shrinks from 33.4 A to 32.1 A). In the active site of SARS-CoV-2 3CL, Cys145 and His 41 form a catalytic dyad, which when taken together with a with a burîed water molécule that is hydrogen-bonded to His41 can be considered to constitute a catalytic triad of the SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease. In view of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 spread that has caused the current worldwide COVID-19 outbreak, it is désirable to hâve new methods of inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 viral réplication and of treating COVID-19 in patients.

For example, the compounds of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may exist in unsolvated and solvated forms. When the solvent or water is tightly bound, the complex will hâve a well-defined stoichiometry independent of humidity. When, however, the solvent or water is weakly bound, as in channel solvatés and hygroscopic compounds, the water/solvent content will be dépendent on humidity and drying conditions. In such cases, non-stoichiometry will be the norm.
The compounds of the invention may exist as clathrates or other complexes. Included within the scope of the invention are complexes such as clathrates, drug-host inclusion complexes wherein the drug and host are présent in stoichiometric or nonstoichiometric amounts. Also included are complexes of the compounds of the invention containing two or more organic and/or inorganic components, which may be in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts. The resulting complexes may be ionized, partially ionized, or non-ionized. For a review of such complexes, see J. Pharm. Sci., 64 (8), 1269-1288 by Haleblian (August 1975).
The compounds of the invention hâve asymmetric carbon atoms. The carboncarbon bonds of the compounds of the invention may be depicted herein using a solid line ( ), a solid wedge ( ), or a dotted wedge ( ). The use of a solid line to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is meant to indicate that ail possible stereoisomers (e.g., spécifie enantiomers, racemic mixtures, etc.) at that carbon atom are included. The use of either a solid or dotted wedge to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is meant to indicate that only the stereoisomer shown is meant to be included. It is possible that compounds of Formula I, I’ and I” may contain more than one asymmetric carbon atom. In those compounds, the use of a solid line to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is meant to indicate that ail possible stereoisomers are meant to be included. For example, unless stated otherwise, it is intended that the compounds of Formula I, I’ and I” can exîst as enantiomers and diastereomers or as racemates and mixtures thereof. The use of a solid line to depict bonds to one or more asymmetric carbon atoms in a compound of Formula I, Γ and I” and the use of a solid or dotted wedge to depict bonds to other asymmetric carbon atoms in the same compound is meant to indicate that a mixture of diastereomers is présent.
Stereoisomers of Formula I, Γ and I” include cis and trans isomers, optical isomers such as R and S enantiomers, diastereomers, géométrie isomers, rotational isomers, conformational isomers, and tautomers of the compounds of the invention, including compounds exhibiting more than one type of isomerism; and mixtures thereof (such as racemates and diastereomeric pairs). Also included are acid addition or base addition salts wherein the counterion is optically active, for example, D-lactate or Llysine, or racemic, for example, DL-tartrate or DL-arginîne.
When any racemate crystallizes, crystals of two different types are possible. The first type is the racemic compound (true racemate) referred to above wherein one homogeneous form of crystal is produced containing both enantiomers in equimolar amounts. The second type is the racemic mixture or conglomerate wherein two forms of crystal are produced in equimolar amounts each comprising a single enantiomer.
The compounds of the invention such as those of Formula I, I’ and I” may exhibit the phenomenon of tautomerism; such tautomers are also regarded as compounds of the invention. Ail such tautomeric forms, and mixtures thereof, are included within the scope of compounds of Formula I, I’ and I”. Tautomers exist as mixtures of a tautomeric set in solution. In solid form, usually one tautomer prédominâtes. Even though one tautomer may be described, the présent invention includes ail tautomers of the compounds of Formula I, Γ and I” and salts thereof.
The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable salts(s)”, as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, includes salts of acidic or basic groups which may be présent in the compounds described herein. The compounds used in the methods of the invention that are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of salts with various inorganic and organic acids. The acids that may be used to préparé pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of such basic compounds are those that form non-toxîc acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmacologically acceptable anions, such as the acetate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bicarbonate, bisulfate, bitartrate, borate, bromide, calcium edetate, camsylate, carbonate, chloride, clavulanate, citrate, dihydrochloride, edetate, edislyate, estolate, esylate, ethylsuccinate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glutamate, hexylresorcînate, hydrabamine, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, iodide, isethionate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, malate, maleate, mandelate, mesylate, methylsulfate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, pamoate (embonate), palmitate, pantothenate, phosphate/diphosphate, polygalacturonate, salicylate, stéarate, subacetate, succinate, tannate, tartrate, teoclate, tosylate, triethiodode, and valerate salts.
With respect to the compounds of the invention used in the methods of the invention, if the compounds also exist as tautomeric forms then this invention relates to those tautomers and the use of ail such tautomers and mixtures thereof.
The subject invention also includes compounds and methods of treatment of coronavirus infections such as COVID-19 and methods of inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 with isotopically labelled compounds, which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature.
Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 1SO, 170,31P, 32P, 35S, 13F, and 36CI, respectively. Compounds of the présent invention, prodrugs thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds or of said prodrugs which contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or isotopes of other atoms are with the scope of this invention. Certain isotopically labelled compounds of the présent invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H and 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., 3H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of préparation and detectability.
Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labelled compounds used in the methods of this invention and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures for preparing the compounds disclosed in the art by substituting a readily available isotopically labelled reagent for a non-isotopically labelled reagent.
This invention also encompasses methods using pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating coronavirus infections such as COVID-19 infections through administering prodrugs of compounds of the invention. Compounds having free amino, amido or hydroxy groups can be converted into prodrugs. Prodrugs include compounds wherein an amino acid residue, or a polypeptide Chain of two or more (e.g., two, three or four) amino acid residues is covalently joined through an ester bond to a hydroxy of compounds used in the methods of this invention. The amino acid residues include but are not limited to the 20 naturally occurring amino acids commonly designated by three letter symbols and also include 4-hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, desmosine, isodesmosine, 3-methylhistîdine, norvalin, beta-alanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, citrulline, homocystéine, homoserine, ornithine and méthionine sulfone. Additional types of prodrugs are also encompassed. For instance, free hydroxy groups may be derivatized using groups including but not limited to hemisuccinates, phosphate esters, dimethylaminoacetates, and phosphoryloxymethyloxycarbonyls, as outlined in Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 1996, 19,115. Carbamate prodrugs of hydroxy and amino groups are also included, as are carbonate prodrugs, sulfonate esters and sulfate esters of hydroxy groups. Derivatization of hydroxy groups as (acyloxy)methyl and (acyloxy)ethyl ethers wherein the acyl group may be an alkyl ester, optionally substituted with groups including but not limited to ether, amine and carboxylic acid functionalities, or where the acyl group is an amino acid ester as described above, are also encompassed. Prodrugs of this type are described in J. Med. Chem., 1996, 29, 10. Free amines can also be derivatized as amides, sulfonamides or phosphonamides. Ail of these prodrug moieties may incorporate groups including but not limited to ether, amine and carboxylic acid functionalities.
The compounds of the présent invention can be used in the methods of the invention in combination with other drugs. For example, dosing a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus-infected patient (i.e., a patient with COVID-19) with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus 3CL protease inhibitor of the invention and an interferon, such as interferon alpha, or a pegylated interferon, such as PEG-Intron or Pegasus, may provide a greater clînical benefit than dosing either the interferon, pegylated interferon or the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus inhibitor alone. Other additional agents that can be used in the methods of the présent invention include dexamethasone, azithromycin and remdesivir.
Examples of greater clinical benefits could include a larger réduction in COVID-19 symptoms, a fastertime to alleviation of symptoms, reduced lung pathology, a larger réduction in the amount of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in the patient (viral load), and decreased mortality.
The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infects cells which express P-glycoprotein. Some of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus 3CL protease inhibitors of the invention are Pglycoprotein substrates. Compounds which inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus which are also P-glycoprotein substrates may be dosed with a P-glycoprotein inhibitor. Examples of P-glycoprotein inhibitors are verapamil, Vinblastine, kétoconazole, nelfinavir, ritonavir or cyclosporine. The P-glycoprotein inhibitors act by inhibiting the efflux of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus inhibitors of the invention out of the cell. The inhibition of the P-glycoprotein-based efflux will prevent réduction of intracellular concentrations of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus inhibitor due to P-glycoprotein efflux. Inhibition of the P-glycoprotein efflux will resuit in larger intracellular concentrations of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus inhibitors. Dosing a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus-infected patient with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus 3CL protease inhibitors of the invention and a P-glycoprotein inhibitor may lower the amount of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus 3CL protease inhibitor required to achieve an efficacious dose by increasing the intracellular concentration of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus 3CL protease inhibitor.
Among the agents that may be used to increase the exposure of a mammal to a compound of the présent invention are those that can act as inhibitors of at least one isoform of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. The isoforms of CYP450 that may be beneficially inhibited include, but are not limited to CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. The compounds used in the methods of the invention include compounds that may be CYP3A4 substrates and are metabolized by CYP3A4. Dosing a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus-infected patient with a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus inhibitor which is a CYP3A4 substrate, such as SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus 3CL protease inhibitor, and a CYP3A4 inhibitor, such as ritonavir, nelfinavir or delavirdine, will reduce the metabolism of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus inhibitor by CYP3A4. This will resuit in reduced clearance ofthe SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus inhibitorand increased SARS-CoV- coronavirus inhibitor plasma concentrations. The reduced clearance and higher plasma concentrations may resuit in a lower efficacious dose of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus inhibitor.

The above considérations in regard to effective formulations and administration procedures are well known in the art and are described in standard textbooks. Formulation of drugs is discussed in, for example, Hoover, John E., Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pennsylvania, 1975; Liberman et al., Eds., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, Marcel Decker, New York, N.Y., 1980; and Kibbe et al., Eds., Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (3rd Ed.), American Pharmaceutical Association, Washington, 1999.
The compounds of the présent invention can be used, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, in the treatment of various conditions or disease States. The compound(s) of the présent invention and other therapeutic agent(s) may be administered simultaneously (either in the same dosage form or in separate dosage forms) or sequentially. Two or more compounds may be administered simultaneously, concurrently or sequentially. Additionally, simultaneous administration may be carried out by mixing the compounds prior to administration or by administering the compounds at the same point in time but at different anatomie sites or using different routes of administration. The phrases “concurrent administration, “co-administration,” “simultaneous administration,” and “administered simultaneously” mean that the compounds are administered in combination.
The présent invention includes the use of a combination of a compound of the invention and one or more additional therapeutic agent(s). If a combination of active agents is administered, then they may be administered sequentially or simultaneously, in separate dosage forms or combined in a single dosage form. Accordingly, the présent invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising an amount of: (a) a first agent comprising a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable sait of the compound; (b) a second therapeutic agent; and (c) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

A dose of the pharmaceutical composition may contain at least a therapeutically effective amount of a SARS-CoV-2-inhibiting agent and preferably is made up of one or more pharmaceutical dosage units. The selected dose may be administered to a mammal, for example, a human patient, in need of treatment mediated by inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 related coronavirus activity, by any known or suitable method of administering the dose, including topically, for example, as an ointment or cream; orally; rectally, for example, as a suppository; parenterally by injection; intravenously; or continuously by intravaginal, intranasal, intrabronchial, întraaural, or intraocular infusion.
The phrases “therapeutically effective amount” and “effective amount” are intended to mean the amount of an inventive agent that, when administered to a mammal in need of treatment, is sufficient to effect treatment for injury or disease conditions alleviated by the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 viral réplication. The amount of a given SARS-CoV-2-inhibitmg agent used in the method ofthe invention that will be therapeutically effective will vary depending upon factors such as the particular SARSCoV-2-inhibiting agent, the disease condition and the severity thereof, the identity and characteristics ofthe mammal in need thereof, which amount may be routinely determined by those skilled in the art.
It will be appreciated that the actual dosages of the SARS-CoV-2-inhibiting agents used in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention will be selected according to the properties ofthe particular agent being used, the particular composition formulated, the mode of administration and the particular site, and the host and condition being treated. Optimal dosages for a given set of conditions can be ascertaîned by those skilled in the art using conventional dosage-determination tests.
For oral administration, e.g., a dose that may be employed is from about 0.01 to about 1000 mg/kg body weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 500 mg/kg body weight, and even more preferably from about 1 to about 500 mg/kg body weight, with courses of treatment repeated at appropriate intervals. For intravenous dosing a dose of up to 5 grams per day may be employed. Intravenous administration can occur for intermittent periods during a day or continuously over a 24-hour period.
The terms “cytochrome P450-inhibiting amount and “cytochrome P450 enzyme activity-inhibiting amount”, as used herein, refer to an amount of a compound required to decrease the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes or a particular cytochrome P450 enzyme isoform in the presence of such compound. Whether a particular compound decreases cytochrome P450 enzyme activity, and the amount of such a compound required to do so, can be determined by methods know to those of ordinary skill in the art and the methods described herein.
Protein functions required for coronavirus réplication and transcription are encoded by the so-called “replicase” gene. Two overlapping polyproteins are translated from this gene and extensively processed by viral proteases. The C-proximal région is processed at eleven conserved interdomain junctions by the coronavirus main or “3CIike” protease. The name “3C-like” protease dérivés from certain similarities between the coronavirus enzyme and the well-known picornavirus 3C proteases. These include substrate préférences, use of cysteine as an active site nucleophile in catalysis, and similarities in their putative overall polypeptide folds. A comparison of the amino acid sequence ofthe SARS-CoV-2-associated coronavirus 3C-like protease to that of other known coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV shows the amino acid sequences hâve approximately 96% shared homology.
Amino acids of the substrate in the protease cleavage site are numbered from the N to the C terminus as follows: -P3-P2-P1-PT-P2’-P3’, with cleavage occurring between the P1 and PT residues (Schechter& Berger, 1967). Substrate specificity is largely determined by the P2, P1 and PT positions. Coronavirus main protease cleavage site specificities are highly conserved with a requirement for glutamine at P1 and a small amino acid at PT [Journal of General Virology, 83, pp. 595-599 (2002)].

It is to be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited in any way by the scope of the following exampîes and préparations. In the following examples molécules with a single chiral center may exist as a single enantiomer or a racemic mixture. Those molécules with two or more chiral centers may exist as a single enantiomer, a racemic or otherwise mixture of two enantiomers, or as various mixtures of diastereomers. Such enantiomers, racemates, and diastereomers may be obtained and / or separated by methods known to those skilled in the art. Itwill be appreciated by one skilled in the art that certain synthetic manipulations may epimerize or racemize a stereocenter, and synthetic conditions may be selected to either promote or discourage such epimerization or racemization.
Scheme 1 illustrâtes a synthetic sequence for the préparation of compounds of Formula I as shown, wherein the N-BOC methyl ester of Formula 1 (WO 2005/113580) is converted to a primary amide of Formula 3 (N-BOC being N-fert-butoxycarbonyl). This may be accomplished directly, for example by treatment with ammonia (NH3) in a sealed vessel in a solvent such as methanol or éthanol, for example, optionally in the presence of additives such as calcium chloride (CaCk) or magnésium dimethoxide, Mg(OMe)2.
Scheme 1
The transformation ofthe compound of Formula 1 to the compound of Formula 3 may also be carried out by prior conversion to the carboxylic acid of Formula 2 (WO
2005/113580). In this case the compound of Formula 2 may be converted to the compound of Formula 3 using methods well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the compound of Formula 2 may be treated with a reagent such as O-(7azabenzotriazol-l-yO-ZX/.A/.A/’j/V-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), isobutyl chloroformate, 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) and hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), or 1 ,Τ-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), optionally in the presence of a base such as Ν,Ν-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), 4methylmorphoîine (NMM), or triethylamine (TEA), followed by treatment with NH3 administered as a gas or a solution in a reaction compatible solvent, or with a sait of NH3 such as ammonium acetate or ammonium chloride în the presence of a base such as Ν,Ν-diisopropylethylamine, 4-methylmorpholine, or triethylamine. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, dichloromethane (CH2CI2), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), tetrahydrofuran (THF), or acetonitrile (CH3CN).
The compound of Formula 3 may be A/-deprotected to provide an amine of Formula 4 using methods well known to those skilled in the art for effecting such 20 deprotections. Frequently acidic reagents such as hydrogen chloride, methanesulfonic acid, or trifluoroacetic acid are used, typically in a reaction compatible solvent such as CH2CI2, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dichloroethane, orCHaCN. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the compound of Formula 4 will frequently be obtained as an acid addition sait. The compound of Formula 4 may then be transformed into a compound of Formula 6 by 5 treatment with an /V-protected amino acid compound of Formula 5 under appropriate conditions. Such methods are well known to those skilled in the art, and in general standard peptide coupling conditions may be selected.
The compound of Formula 6 may be /V-deprotected to provide an amine of Formula 7 using methods well known to those skilled in the art for effecting such 10 deprotections. Frequently acidic reagents such as hydrogen chloride, methanesulfonic acid, or trifluoroacetic acid are used, typically in a reaction compatible solvent such as CH2CI2, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dichloroethane, or CH3CN. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the compound of Formula 7 will frequently be obtained as an acid addition sait. The compound of Formula 7 may then be transformed into a compound of Formula 9 by 15 treatment with a carboxylic acid compound of Formula 8 under appropriate conditions.
Such methods are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, when X = a chlorine atom, the carboxylic acid compound is known as an acid chloride and the reaction is conducted in the presence of a base to consume the hydrogen halide HX produced as a by-product of the reaction. Examples of suitable bases include, but are not limited to, 20 tertiary amines such as 4-methylmorpholine, 2,6-dimethylpyridine, or N,Ndiisopropylethylamine, or inorganic bases such as magnésium oxide (MgO), sodium carbonate (NazCOs), or potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3). Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, CH2CI2, DMF, THF, or CH3CN. When X = OH, it is customary to use a reagent or combination of reagents to facilitate the reaction of the carboxylic acid 25 compound of Formula 8. One skilled in the art may choose to use, for example, a carbodiimide reagent such as 1-[3-(dimethylamÎno)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) or Ν,Ν’-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC), optionally in the presence of an auxiliary nucleophile such as hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) or 2-hydroxypyridine-Noxide (HOPO). Further, when X = OH, one skilled in the art may choose to use reagents 30 that are suitable for the formation of mixed carboxyl / carbonic anhydrides, such as GDI, isobutyl or ethyl chloroformate, frequently in the presence of a base such as described above. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, CH2CI2, THF, or CH3CN. Another approach commonly used by those skilled in the art when X = OH is to treat the carboxylic acid compound of Formula 8 with a carboxylic acid chloride, for example such as 35 MeaCCOCI, in the presence of a base such as described above to generate a mixed carboxylic anhydride of the Formula R3C(O)O(O)CCMe3. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, CH2CI2, THF, or CH3CN. In many cases it is possible to use a symmetric anhydride of the desired carboxylic acid compound of Formula 8 to effect the reaction, optionally in the presence of a base such as described above, in which case X = 0(0)CR3 5 and the carboxylic acid compound of Formula 8 is therefore R3C(O)O(O)CR3. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, CH2CI2, THF, or CH3CN.
The compound of Formula 9 may be transformed into the compound of Formula I by treatment under dehydrating conditions well known to those skilled in the art. Frequently this déhydration step may be accomplished using an excess of trifluoroacetic 10 anhydride or phosphorus oxychloride, generally in the presence of a base such as pyridine, Ν,Ν-diisopropylethylamine, 4-methylmorpholine, or triethylamine.
One skilled in the art will know that the N-BOC protected amino acids of Formula 5 are known in the Chemical literature, are commercially available, and may be prepared from the corresponding known and commercially available amino acids by one skilled in 15 the art using well established procedures for the synthesis of N-protected amino acids.
Likewise, one skilled in the art will understand that the carboxylic acid compounds of Formula 8 may be known in the Chemical literature, and ! or are commercially available, and / or may be prepared by published methods or by analogy to published methods.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that the bond-forming steps in Scheme 1 may 20 be conducted in a different order with appropriate considérations, for example as shown in Scheme 2.
Scheme 2
In Scheme 2, the compound of Formula 3 is converted into the compound of
Formula 10 by treatment under dehydratmg conditions well known to those skilled in the art. Frequently this déhydration step may be accomplished using an excess of trifluoroacetic anhydride or phosphorus oxychloride, generally in the presence of a base such as pyridine, Ν,Ν-diisopropylethylamine, 4-methylmorpholine, or triethylamine. The compound of Formula 10 is N-deprotected to provide an amine of Formula 11 using methods well known to those skilled in the art for effecting such deprotections. Frequently, acidic reagents such as hydrogen chloride, methanesulfonic acid, or trifluoroacetic acid are used, typicaîly in a reaction-compatible solvent such as CH2CI2, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dichloroethane, or CH3CN. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the compound of Formula 11 will frequently be obtained as an acid addition sait. The compound of Formula 11 may then be transformed into a compound of Formula I by treatment with a compound of Formula 12 under appropriate conditions. Such methods are well known to those skilled in the art, and in general standard peptide coupling conditions may be selected. Compounds of Formula 12 are exceptionally well known in the Chemical literature, and one skilled in the art may choose to préparé any given compound of Formula 12 using methods analogous to those described in the Chemical literature.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that the bond-forming steps in Schemes 1 and 2 may be conducted in still further different orders with appropriate considérations, for example as shown in Scheme 3.

One skilled in the art will recognize that still further permutations of the bond- forming steps and functionaî group manipulations in Schemes 1,2 and 3 may be applied with appropriate considérations. Such permutations in the sélection of step order are well known in the Chemical literature and one skilled in the art may consult the Chemical literature for further guidance if desired. One skilled in the art will recognize that other 20 sélections of protecting groups and reagents for effecting the various transformations may be made.

When appropriate, reaction apparatuses were dried under dynamic vacuum using a heat gun, and anhydrous solvents (SureSeal™ products from Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin or DriSolv™ Products from EMD Chemicals, Gibbstown, NJ) were employed. In some cases, commercial solvents were passed through columns packed with 4Â molecular sieves, until the following QC standards for water were attained: a) <100 ppm for dichloromethane, toluene, /V,A/-dimethylformamide, and tetrahydrofuran; b) <180 ppm for methanol, éthanol, 1,4-dioxane, and diisopropylamine. For very sensitive reactions, solvents were further treated with metallic sodium, calcium hydride, or molecular sieves, and distilled just prior to use. Other commercial solvents and reagents were used without further purification. For synthèses referencing procedures in other Examples or Methods, reaction conditions (reaction time and température) may vary. Products were generally dried under vacuum before being carried on to further reactions or submitted for biological testing.

UV détection was used to trigger fraction collection. For synthèses referencing procedures in other Examples or Methods, purifications may vary: in general, solvents and the solvent ratios used for eluents/gradients were chosen to provide appropriate Rts or rétention times.
Mass spectrometry data are reported from LCMS analyses. Mass spectrometry (MS) was performed via atmospheric pressure Chemical ionization (APCI), electrospray ionization (ESI), électron impact ionization (El) or électron scatter ionization (ES) sources. Proton nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (1H NMR) Chemical shifts are given in parts per million downfield from tetramethylsilane and were recorded on 300, 400, 500, or 600 MHz Varian, Bruker, or Jeol spectrometers. Chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm, δ) referenced to the deuterated solvent residual peaks (chloroform, 7.26 ppm; CD2HOD, 3.31 ppm; acetonitrile-c/2, 1.94 ppm; dimethyl sulfoxide-cfs, 2.50 ppm; DHO, 4.79 ppm).

Collection of powder X-ray diffraction data
The powder X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted using a Bruker AXS D4 Endeavor diffractometer equipped with a Cu radiation source. The divergence slit was set at 0.6 mm while the secondary optics used variable slits. Diffracted radiation was detected by a PSD-Lynx Eye detector. The X-ray tube voltage and amperage were set 20 to 40 kV and 40 mA respectively. Data was collected in the Theta-2Theta goniometer at the Cu wavelength from 3.0 to 40.0 degrees 2-Theta using a step size of 0.020 degrees and a step time of 0.3 second. Samples were prepared by placing them in a Silicon low background sample holder and rotated during collection.
The powder X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted using a Bruker AXS D8 25 Advance diffractometer equipped with a Cu radiation source. Diffracted radiation was detected by a LYNXEYE_EX detector with motorized slits. Both p ri mary and secondary equipped with 2.5 soller slits. The X-ray tube voltage and amperage were set at 40kV and 40 mA respectively. Data was collected in the Theta-Theta goniometer in a locked couple scan at Cu K-alpha (average) wavelength from 3.0 to 40.0 degrees 2-Theta with 30 an incrément of 0.02 degrees, using a scan speed of 0.5 seconds per step. Samples were prepared by placement in a Silicon low background sample holder.
Data were collected with both instruments using Bruker DIFFRAC Plus software and analysis was performed by EVA DIFFRAC plus software. The PXRD data file was
125 not processed prior to peak searching. Using the peak search algorithm in the EVA software, peaks selected with a threshold value of 1 were used to make preliminary peak assignments. To ensure validity, adjustments were manually made; the output of automated assignments was visually checked, and peak positions were adjusted to the peak maximum. Peaks with relative intensity of a 3% were generally chosen. Typically, the peaks which were not resolved or were consistent with noise were not selected. A typical error associated with the peak position from PXRD stated in USP up to +/- 0.2° 2Theta (USP-941).

Collection of powder X-ray diffraction data
Powder X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted using a Bruker AXS D8 io Endeavor diffractometer equipped with a Cu radiation source (K-α average). The divergence slit was set at 15 mm continuous illumination. Diffracted radiation was detected by a PSD-Lynx Eye detector, with the detector PSD opening set at 2.99 degrees. The X-ray tube voltage and amperage were set to 40 kV and 40 mA respectively. Data was collected in the Theta-Theta goniometer at the Cu wavelength 15 from 3.0 to 40.0 degrees 2-Theta using a step size of 0.00998 degrees and a step time of 1.0 second. The antiscatter screen was set to a fixed distance of 1.5 mm. Samples were rotated at 15/minute during collection. Samples were prepared by placing them in a Silicon low-background sample holder and rotated during collection. Data were collected using Bruker DIFFRAC Plus software and analysis was performed by EVA 20 DIFFRAC Plus software. Using the peak search algorithm in the EVA software, peaks selected with a threshold value of 1 were used to make preliminary peak assignments. To ensure validity, adjustments were manually made; the output of automated assignments was visually checked and peak positions were adjusted to the peak maximum. Peaks with relative intensity of > 3% were generally chosen. The 25 peaks which were not resolved or were consistent with noise were not selected. A typical error associated with the peak position from PXRD stated in USP is up to +/- 0.2° 2-Theta (USP-941).

The structure was solved by intrinsic phasing using SHELX software suite in the orthorhombic class space group P2i2i2i. The structure was subsequently refîned by the full-matrix least squares method. Ail non-hydrogen atoms were found and refîned using anisotropic displacement parameters.
The hydrogen atoms located on nitrogen were found from the Fourier différence 10 map and refîned with distances restrained. The remaining hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and were allowed to ride on their carrier atoms. The final refinement included isotropie displacement parameters for ail hydrogen atoms.
Analysis of the absolute structure using likelihood methods (Hooft, 2008) was performed using PLATON (Spek). The results indicate that the absolute structure has been correctîy assigned. The method calculâtes that the probability that the structure is correctly assigned is 100%. The Hooft parameter is reported as -0.01 with an esd (estimated standard déviation) of (3) and the Parson’s parameter is reported as -0.01 with an esd of (2).

The final R-index was 3.3%. A final différence Fourier revealed no missing or misplaced électron density.
Pertinent crystal, data collection, and refinement information is summarized in Table E. Atomic coordinates, bond lengths, bond angles, and displacement parameters are listed in Tables F - H.

Solid-state NMR analysis of the compound of Example 13, Forms 1 and 4 was conducted on a CPMAS probe positioned into a Bruker-BioSpin Avance III 500 MHz (1H frequency) NMR spectrometer, A magic angle spinning rate of 15.0 kHz was used.
Form 1 spectra were collected at ambient température (température uncontrolled) and
Form 4 spectra were collected at 15°C.
13C ssNMR spectra were collected using a proton decoupled cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) experiment. A phase modulated proton decoupling field of 80100 kHz was applied during spectral acquisition. The cross-polarization contact time was set to 2 ms and the recycle delay to 3.5 seconds for Form 1 and Form 4. The number of scans was adjusted to obtain an adéquate signal to noise ratio. The 13C Chemical shift scale was referenced using a 13C CPMAS experiment on an external standard of crystalline adamantane, setting its up-field résonance to 29.5 ppm.
19F ssNMR spectra were collected using a proton decoupled magic angle spinning (MAS) experiment. A phase modulated proton decoupling field of 80-100 kHz was applied during spectral acquisition. Spectra were collected with a recycle delay to 6 seconds for Form 1 and 5.25 seconds for Form 4. The number of scans was adjusted to obtain an adéquate signal to noise ratio. The 19F chemical shift scale was referenced
150 using a 19F MAS experiment on an externai standard of trifluoroacetic acid (50%/50% v/v in H2O), setting its résonance to -76.54 ppm.
Automatic peak picking was performed using Bruker-BioSpin TopSpin version 3.6 software. Generally, a threshold value of 4% relative intensity was used for preliminary peak sélection. The output of the automated peak picking was visually checked to ensure validity and adjustments were manually made if necessary. Although spécifie solid-state NMR peak values are reported herein there does exist a range for these peak values due to différences in instruments, samples, and sample préparation. This is common practice in the art of solid-state NMR because of the variation inhérent in peak positions. A typical variability for a 13C Chemical shift x-axis value is on the order of plus or minus 0.2 ppm, unless otherwise stated, for a crystalline solid. The variability for the «F Chemical shift x-axis value is on the order of plus or minus 0.1 ppm. The solid-state NMR peak heights reported herein are relative intensities. Solid-state NMR intensifies can vary depending on the actual setup of the experimental parameters and the thermal 15 history of the sample.
13C solid-state NMR of Example 13, Form 1 was obtained as described above and the following peak list of Example 13, Form 1 was determined. The variability for 13C Chemical shift values is + 0.2 ppm, unless otherwise specified.

Single Crystal X-Ray Analysis
Data collection was performed on a Broker D8 Venture diffractometer at -100 “C. Data collection consisted of oméga and phi scans.
The structure was solved by intrinsic phasing using SHELX software suite in the orthorhombic class space group P2i2i2i. The structure was subsequently refined by the full-matrix least squares method. Ail non-hydrogen atoms were found and refined using anisotropic displacement parameters.
The hydrogen atoms located on nitrogen were found from the Fou rie r différence io map and refined with distances restrained. The remaining hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and were allowed to ride on their carrier atoms. The final refinement included isotropic displacement parameters for ail hydrogen atoms.
Analysis ofthe absolute structure using likelihood methods (Hooft, 2008) was performed using PLATON (Spek). The absolute stereochemistry was not determined, 15 due to out-of-specification values of Hooft / Parsons / Flack parameters and standard déviations.

The final R-index was 6.3%. A final différence Fourier revealed no missing or misplaced électron density.
Pertinent crystal, data collection, and refinement information is summarized in Table L. Atomic coordinates, bond lengths, bond angles, and displacement parameters are listed in Tables M - P.

13, methyl tert-butyl ether solvaté
To a 0 °C slurry of C43 (5.0 g, 9.7 mmol) in propan-2-yl acetate (7.6 mL/g, 38 mL) was charged 4-methylmorpholine (4.5 équivalents; 4.8 mL, 44 mmol). To the resulting slurry was charged trifluoroacetic anhydride (2.25 équivalents; 3.1 mL, 22 mmol) over 1 hour via a dosing pump. After stirring at 0 °C for at least 1 hour, the reaction mixture was warmed to about 20 °C, quenched with water (8 mL/g, 40 mL), and stirred for at least 10 minutes. After décantation, the bottom (aqueous) layer was discarded and water (8 mL/g, 40 mL) was added to the organic layer. After stirring for at least 10 minutes, the layers were separated, and the bottom (aqueous) layer was discarded. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to approximately 4 mL/g (around 20 mL), whereupon the vacuum was broken using nitrogen and the solution was warmed to approximately 50 °C. Methyl tert-butyl ether (12 mL/g, 60 mL) was slowly added over at least 4 hours via addition funnel, and the reaction mixture was maîntained at 50 °C for at least 1 hour before being cooled to 25 °C over 1 hour. The resulting slurry was held at 25 °C overnight, then filtered, washed
168 sequentially with a mixture of propan-2-yl acetate and methyl tert-butyl ether [1:3 (v/v);
mL/g] and with methyl tert-butyl ether (2 mL/g, 10 mL), and dried on the filter for at least 30 minutes.

To a room température slurry of C43 (4.0 g, 7.7 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL/g, 40 mL) was charged 1-methyl-1/-/-imidazole (4.6 équivalents; 2.84 mL, 35.6 mmol) and the resulting mixture was warmed to approximately 30 °C. A solution of 2,4,6-tripropyl1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphinane 2,4,6-trioxide (50% solution by weight in acetonitrile; 2 équivalents; 10.8 mL) was added over at least 6 hours using a pump. After the reaction mixture had been stirred for at least 10 hours, it was cooled to 25 °C and carefully quenched by addition of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (7 mL/g, 28 mL) (exothermic and off-gassing). Acetonitrile was then distilled off under reduced pressure; to the resulting mixture was added ethyl acetate (10 mL/g, 40 mL) and additional saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (5 mL/g, 20 mL). After phase split, the bottom (aqueous) layer was discarded and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (3.5 mL/g; 14 mL). The aqueous layer was again discarded, and the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure down to approximately 1 mL/g (4 mL). Methyl tert-butyl ether (9 mL/g; 36 mL) was
169 charged and the resulting solution was warmed to 50 °C, quickly resulting in a slurry.

A mixture of 10 (10.0 mg, 22.0 pmol), tetra-n-butylammonium decatungstate (TBADT; 3.66 mg, 1.10 pmol), and AMIuoro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzenesulfonamide (8.34 mg, 26.4 pmol) was treated with acetonitrile (0.75 mL), water (0.5 mL), and trifluoroacetic acid (1.69 uL, 21.9 pmol) under argon. The reaction vial was then sealed, placed in an EvoluChem™ PhotoRedOx Box equipped with a fan, and irradiated with black light (PAR20-18W LG 365 nm, 100-240 VAC) at 25 °C for 16 hours. To the reaction mixture was added aqueous potassium phosphate solution (1 M, pH 7.45; 1 mL), followed by alternating aliquots of water and acetonitrile to maintain a clarified solution at a final volume of 18 mL. Aliquots (3 mL) of this mixture were applied to Biotage Isolute C18 solid phase extraction cartridges that had been preconditioned with methanol (3 mL) followed by aqueous ammonium acetate solution (10 mM; 3 mL). The cartridges were washed with aqueous ammonium acetate solution (10 mM; 3 mL) and with 20% acetonitrile in 20 mM ammonium acetate (3 mL), then eluted with acetonitrile (3 mL). After the eluates had been evaporated in a vacuum centrifuge, the residues were reconstituted in a mixture of 1% aqueous formicacid and acetonitrile, and

This préparation was carried out using the general procedure reported by C. Uyeda and J. Werth, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57, 13902-13906. A 3-neck flask equipped with magnetic stirring bar, reflux condenser, thermometer, and nitrogen inlet was charged with cobalt(ll) bromide (0.15 équivalents; 0.146 g, 0.667 mmol), (1E,TE)1 ,T-pyridine-2,6-diylbis[/V-(2-te/t-butylphenyl)ethanimine] (2 iBuPDI; 0.15 équivalents; 0.284 g, 0.667 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (11 mL). The thick, green suspension was stirred overnight at room température, and zinc (2.4 équivalents; 0.70 g, 11 mmol) and zinc bromide (1.1 équivalents; 1.1 g, 4.9 mmol) were added. After stirring for 15 minutes, the reaction mixture turned purple and a solution of 1-tert-butyl 2-methyl (2S)2,5-dihydro-1/-/-pyrrole-1,2-dicarboxylate (1.0 équivalent; 1.0 g, 4.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (7.5 mL) and 2,2-dichloropropane (2.0 équivalents; 1.0 g, 8.8 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room température for 5 days, whereupon it was filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth and rinsed with tetrahydrofuran (10.8 mL). The filtrate was combined with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (3.5 mL) and ethyl acetate (9.5 mL); the layers were then separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (8.4 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (10.5 mL), dried over magnésium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to dryness, providing 3-tert-butyl 2-methyl (1 R,2S,5S)-6,6-dimethyl-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,3dicarboxylate (C90) as a yellow oil.

Step 1. Synthesîs of 3-methyl-A/-(trifluoroacetyl)-L-valine (C91 ).
A solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (25 weight%; 28.5 mL, 124 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-methyl-L-valine (99%, 15 g, 113 mmol) in methanol (30 mL). Ethyl trifluoroacetate (130 mmol) was then added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 40 “C until the reaction was complété (approximately 2.5 hours), whereupon it was cooled to 20 °C. After addition of hydrochloric acid (1 M; 136 ml, 136 mmol), the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (150 mL) and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed twice with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over magnésium sulfate, and filtered. Heptane was added to the filtrate, whereupon the solution was concentrated at 50 °C to a volume of 5 mL/g. This procedure was carried out twice; after the second distillation, seed crystals of C91 (50 mg; see below) were
268 added. The resulting solid was collected via filtration, washed with heptane, and dried at 40 °C to provide C91 as an off-white solid. Yield: 22.2 g, 97.7 mmol, 86%.
The seed crystals used above were obtained from a similar reaction carried out using 3-methyl-L-valine; after the organic layer containing C91 had been dried over magnésium sulfate and filtered, concentration in vacuo provided a solid. A portion of this solid was used as the seed material.
Physicochemical data was obtained on sampies of C91 obtained from reactions carried out in the same manner. HRMS-ESI+ (m/z): [M+H]+ Calculated for C8H13F3NO3, 228.0842; Found, 228.0842. Primary ion observed as C8HiiF3NNa2O3[M+Na+];

Single Crystal X-Ray Analysis
Data collection was performed on a Bruker D8 Quest diffractometer at -100 °C, Data collection consisted of oméga and phi scans.
The structure was solved by intrinsic phasing using SHELX software suite in the io tetragonal class chiral space group P4i2i2. The structure was subsequently refined by the full-matrix least squares method. Ail non-hydrogen atoms were found and refined using anisotropic displacement parameters.
The hydrogen atoms located on nitrogen and oxygen were found from the Fourier différence map and refined with distances restrained. Hydrogen on O2(H2Z) 15 and O3(H3Z) was shared as a charge and refined as 10.5 occupancy each. The remaining hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and were allowed to ride on their carrier atoms. The final refinement included isotropie displacement parameters for ail hydrogen atoms.
Population occupancy disorder as a ratio of -67/33 at the -CF3 segment was 20 identified and modeled accordingly.
Analysis of the absoîute structure using likelihood methods (Hooft, 2008) was performed using PLATON (Spek). The results indicate that the absoîute structure has been correctly assigned. The method calculâtes that the probability that the structure is correctly assigned is 100%, The Hooft parameter is reported as 0.02 with an esd (estimated standard déviation) of (4) and the Parson’s parameter is reported as 0.02 with an esd of (4).

Step 3. Synthesis of (1R,2S)5S)-6,6-dimethy^3-[3-methyl·N-(trifluoroacetyl)-L-valyl]-3azabicyclo[3.1 0]hexane-2-carboxylic acid (C42).
A mixture of C91 (1.29 g, 5.68 mmol), 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (0.60 g, 4.8 5 mmol), and A/,N-diisopropyleth y lamine (1.70 mL, 9.75 mmol) in tetra hydrofuran (10 mL), was treated with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (0.99 g, 5.2 mmol). After the reaction mixture had been stirred for 2 hours at 20 °C, C92 (75.7 mass%, 1.00 g, 4.70 mmol) was charged and stirring was continued overnight at 20 °C. The resulting siurry was mixed with propan-2-yl acetate (10 mL) and washed sequentially with aqueous citric 10 acid solution (10%, 10 mL) and with water (10 mL),. The organic layer was then concentrated, whereupon propan-2-yl acetate (5 mL) was added, followed by drop-wise addition of heptane (15 mL) from an addition funnel. Solids were isolated via filtration and dried under vacuum to afford (1R,2S,5S)-6,6-dΐmethyl·3-[3-methyl-/V' (trifluoroacetyl)-L-valyl]-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2-carboxylic acid (C42) as a white 15 solid. Yield: 1.2 g. This compound displays two sets of NMR signais. The major and minor sets correspond to the Z and E isomers of the tertiary amide, respectively, with a molar ratio of 20:1. The sample also contains isopropyl acetate of 37% molar ratio relative to C42, showing “Ή résonances at4.86, 1.96, and 1.17 ppm, and 13C résonances at 169.7, 66.9, 21.5, and 21.0 ppm. Ή and 13C signais were referenced 20 using the TMS signal, set to 0 ppm in both.

The powder X-ray diffraction pattern for C42 is given in Figure 14; characteristic peaks are 5 listed in Table X.
Crystallization for both the powder X-ray diffraction work and the single-crystal Xray structural détermination was carried out as follows. A solution of C42 (2.96 g) in éthanol (9 mL) was heated to 40 °C with stirring (3500 rpm), whereupon water (10.5 mL) was added over 10 minutes. Additional water (16.5 mL) was then added over 4 hours, and the mixture was cooled to 10 °C and allowed to stir overnight. After filtration, the filter cake was washed with water (6 mL) and dried at 50 °C to afford crystalline C42 (2.6 g).

Single Crystal X-Ray Analysis
Data collection was performed on a Bruker D8 Venture diffractometer at room température. Data collection consisted of oméga and phi scans. A spécial data strategy of 0.3 degree Width per frames was applied in order to separate the domains, thereby eliminating any TWIN and pseudosymmetry issues.
The structure was solved by intrinsic phasing using SHELX software suite in the rhombohedral class group R3. The structure was subsequently refined by the fùll-matrix least squares method. Ail non-hydrogen atoms were found and refined using anisotropic displacement parameters.
The hydrogen atoms Iocated on nitrogen and oxygen were found from the Fourier différence map and refined with distances restrained. The remaining hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and were aliowed to ride on their carrier atoms. The final refinement included isotropie displacement parameters for ail hydrogen atoms.
Analysis ofthe absolute structure using likelihood methods (Hooft, 2008) was performed using PLATON (Spek). The results indicate that the absoluté structure has been correctly assigned. The method calculâtes that the probabilîty that the structure is correctly assigned is 100%. The Hooft parameter is reported as -0.08 with an esd (estimated standard déviation) of (7) and the Parson’s parameter is reported as -0.09 with an esd of (6).
Population site disorder at the C1_F1_F2 segment as a ratio of 78:22 was identified and treated accordingly.
The final R-index was 5.8%. A final différence Fourier revealed no missing or misplaced électron density.
Pertinent crystal, data collection, and refinement information is summarized in Table Y. Atomic coordinates, bond lengths, bond angles, and displacement parameters are listed in Tables Z - BB.
The list of Software and References employed may be found in Single-crystal Xray Structural Détermination of Example 13, Solid Form 1.

Antiviral activity from SARS-CoV-2 infection
The ability of compounds to prevent SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus-induced cell death or cytopathic effect can be assessed via cell viability, using an assay format that utilizes luciferase to measure intracellular ATP as an endpoint. In brief, VeroE6 cells that are enriched for hACE2 expression were batched inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 (USA_WA1/2020) at a multiplicity of infection of 0.002 in a BSL-3 lab. Virus-inoculated cells were then added to assay-ready compound plates at a density of 4,000 cells/well.
Following a 3-day incubation, a time at which virus-induced cytopathic effect is 95% in the untreated, infected control conditions, cell viability was evaluated using Cell TiterGlo (Promega), according to the manufacturées protocol, which quantitates ATP levels. Cytotoxicity of the compounds was assessed in parallel non-infected cells. Test compounds are tested either alone or in the presence of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor CP-100356 ata concentration of2 pM. The inclusion of CP-100356 is to assess if the test compounds are being effluxed out of the VeroE6 cells, which hâve high levels of expression of P-glycoprotein. Percent effect at each concentration of test compound was calculated based on the values for the no virus control wells and viruscontaining control wells on each assay plate. The concentration required for a 50% response (ECso) value was determined from these data using a 4-parameter logistic model. ECso curves were fit to a Hill slope of 3 when >3 and the top dose achieved 2 50% effect. If cytotoxicity was detected at greater than 30% effect, the corresponding concentration data was eliminated from the ECso détermination.
For cytotoxicity plates, a percent effect at each concentration of test compound was 25 calculated based on the values for the cell-only control wells and hyamine-containing control wells on each assay plate. The CCso value was calculated using a 4-parameter logistic model. A Tl was then calculated by dividing the CC50 value by the EC50 value.

SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus 3C Protease FRET Assay and Analysis
The proteolytic activity of the main protease, 3CLpro, of SARS-CoV-2 was monitored using a continuous fluorescence résonance energy transfer (FRET) assay. The SARS5 CoV-2 3CLpro assay measures the activity of full-length SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease to cleave a synthetic fluorogenic substrate peptide with the following sequence: DabcylKTSAVLQ-SGFRKME-Edans modelled on a consensus peptide (V. Grum-Tokars et al. Evaluating the 3C-like protease activity of SARS-coronavirus: recommendations for standardized assays for drug discovery. Virus Research 133 (2008) 63-73). The 10 fluorescence of the cleaved Edans peptide (excitation 340 nm / émission 490 nm) is measured using a fluorescence intensity protocol on a Flexstation reader (Molecular Devices). The fluorescent signal is reduced in the présent of PF-835231, a potent inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro. The assay reaction buffet contained 20 mM Tris-HCI (pH 7.3), 100 nM NaCI, 1 mM EDTA and 25 μΜ peptide substrate. Enzyme reactions 15 were initiated with the addition of 15 nM SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease and ailowed to proceed for 60 minutes at 23 °C. Percent inhibition or activity was calculated based on control wells containing no compound (0% inhibition/100% activity) and a control compound (100% inhibition/0% activity). IC50 values were generated using a fourparameter fit model using ABASE software (IDBS). Ki values were fit to the Morrison 20 équation with the enzyme concentration parameter fixed to 15 nM, the Km parameter fixed to 14 μΜ and the substrate concentration parameter fixed to 25 μΜ using ABASE software (IDBS).
Proteolytic activity of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus 3CL protease is measured using a 25 continuous fluorescence résonance energy transfer assay. The SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro
FRET assay measures the protease catalyzed cleavage of TAMRASlTSAVLQSGFRKMK-(DABCYL)-OH to TAMRA - SITSAVLQ and SGFRKMK(DABCYL)-OH. The fluorescence of the cleaved TAMRA (ex. 558 nm I em. 581 nm) peptide was measured using a TECAN SAFIRE fluorescence plate reader over 30 the course of 10 min. Typical reaction solutions contained 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.0), 1 mM EDTA, 4.0 μΜ FRET substrate, 4% DMSO and 0.005% Tween-20. Assays were initiated with the addition of 25 nM SARS 3CLPro (nucléotide sequence 9985-10902 of the Urbani strain of SARS coronavirus complété genome sequence (NCBI accession number AY278741 )). Percent inhibition was determined in duplicate at 0.001 mM level

of inhibitor. Data was analyzed with the non-linear régression analysis program Kalidagraph using the équation:
FU = offset+ (limit)(1 - e’<kobsH) where offset equals the fluorescence signal of the un-cleaved peptide substrate, and limit equals the fluorescence of fully cleaved peptide substrate. The kobs is the first order rate constant for this reaction, and in the absence of any inhibitor represents the utilization of substrate. In an enzyme start reaction which contains an irréversible inhibitor, and where the calculated limit is less than 20% of the theoretical maximum limit, the calculated kobs represents the rate of inactivation of coronavirus 3C protease, The slope (kobs/1) of a plot of kobs vs. [I] is a measure of the avidity of the inhibitor for an enzyme. For very fast irréversible inhibitors, kobs/l is calculated from observations at only one or two [I] rather than as a slope.
