Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel compounds useful as HIV protease inhibitors and to the use of such compounds as antiviral agents for treatment of HIV infected individuals.
  • This invention also relates to methods of preparation of these compounds and to intermediates that are useful in the preparation thereof.
  • AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
  • HTLV-III human T-lymphotropic retrovirus III
  • HIV is a member of the class of viruses known as retroviruses.
  • the retroviral genome is composed of RNA which is converted to DNA by reverse transcription.
  • This retroviral DNA is then stably integrated into a host cell's chromosome and, employing the replicative processes of the host cells, produces new retroviral particles and advances the infection to other cells.
  • HIV appears to have a particular affinity for the human T-4 lymphocyte cell which plays a vital role in the body's immune system. HIV infection of these white blood cells depletes this white cell population.
  • the immune system is rendered inoperative and ineffective against various opportunistic diseases such as, among others, pneumocystic carini pneumonia, Kaposi's sarcoma, and cancer of the lymph system.
  • the drug azidothymidine has been found effective for inhibiting the reverse transcription of the retroviral genome of the HIV virus, thus giving a measure of control, though not a cure, for patients afflicted with AIDS.
  • the search continues for drugs that can cure or at least provide an improved measure of control of the deadly HIV virus.
  • Retroviral replication routinely features post-translational processing of polyproteins. This processing is accomplished by virally encoded HIV protease enzyme. This yields mature polypeptides that will subsequently aid in the formation and function of infectious virus. If this molecular processing is stifled, then the normal production of HIV is terminated. Therefore, inhibitors of HIV protease may function as anti-HIV viral agents.
  • HIV protease is one of the translated products from the HIV structural protein pol gene. This retroviral protease specifically cleaves other structural polypeptides at discrete sites to release these newly activated structural proteins and enzymes, thereby rendering the virion replication-competent. As such, inhibition of the HIV protease by potent compounds may prevent proviral integration of infected T-lymphocytes during the early phase of the HIV-I life cycle, as well as inhibit viral proteolytic processing during its late stage. Additionally, the protease inhibitors may have the advantages of being more readily available, longer lived in virus, and less toxic than currently available drugs, possibly due to their specificity for the retroviral protease.
  • HIV proteases Related inhibitors of HIV proteases have been described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,962,640, U.S. Pat. No. 5,932,550, Australian Patent No. 705193, Canadian Patent Application No. 2,179,935, Europan Patent Application No. 0 751 145, and Japanese Patent Application No.100867489.

Description

  • This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/166,979, filed Jun. 11, 2002, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/297,460, filed on Jun. 11, 2001, and U.S. Provisional Application 60/297,729, filed on Jun. 11, 2001.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • This invention relates to novel compounds useful as HIV protease inhibitors and to the use of such compounds as antiviral agents for treatment of HIV infected individuals. This invention also relates to methods of preparation of these compounds and to intermediates that are useful in the preparation thereof.
  • 2. Related Background Art
  • Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) causes a gradual breakdown of the body's immune system as well as progressive deterioration of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Since its initial recognition in the early 1980's, AIDS has spread rapidly and has now reached epidemic-proportions within a relatively limited segment of the population. Intensive research has led to the discovery of the responsible agent, human T-lymphotropic retrovirus III (HTLV-III), now more commonly referred to as the human immunodeficiency virus or HIV.
  • HIV is a member of the class of viruses known as retroviruses. The retroviral genome is composed of RNA which is converted to DNA by reverse transcription. This retroviral DNA is then stably integrated into a host cell's chromosome and, employing the replicative processes of the host cells, produces new retroviral particles and advances the infection to other cells. HIV appears to have a particular affinity for the human T-4 lymphocyte cell which plays a vital role in the body's immune system. HIV infection of these white blood cells depletes this white cell population. Eventually, the immune system is rendered inoperative and ineffective against various opportunistic diseases such as, among others, pneumocystic carini pneumonia, Kaposi's sarcoma, and cancer of the lymph system.
  • Although the exact mechanism of the formation and working of the HIV virus is not understood, identification of the virus has led to some progress in controlling the disease. For example, the drug azidothymidine (AZT) has been found effective for inhibiting the reverse transcription of the retroviral genome of the HIV virus, thus giving a measure of control, though not a cure, for patients afflicted with AIDS. The search continues for drugs that can cure or at least provide an improved measure of control of the deadly HIV virus.
  • Retroviral replication routinely features post-translational processing of polyproteins. This processing is accomplished by virally encoded HIV protease enzyme. This yields mature polypeptides that will subsequently aid in the formation and function of infectious virus. If this molecular processing is stifled, then the normal production of HIV is terminated. Therefore, inhibitors of HIV protease may function as anti-HIV viral agents.
  • HIV protease is one of the translated products from the HIV structural protein pol gene. This retroviral protease specifically cleaves other structural polypeptides at discrete sites to release these newly activated structural proteins and enzymes, thereby rendering the virion replication-competent. As such, inhibition of the HIV protease by potent compounds may prevent proviral integration of infected T-lymphocytes during the early phase of the HIV-I life cycle, as well as inhibit viral proteolytic processing during its late stage. Additionally, the protease inhibitors may have the advantages of being more readily available, longer lived in virus, and less toxic than currently available drugs, possibly due to their specificity for the retroviral protease.
  • Related inhibitors of HIV proteases have been described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,962,640, U.S. Pat. No. 5,932,550, Australian Patent No. 705193, Canadian Patent Application No. 2,179,935, Europan Patent Application No. 0 751 145, and Japanese Patent Application No.100867489. Other related HIV protease inhibitors have been described in K. Yoshimura, et al., Proct. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 96, 8675-8680 (1999) and T. Mimoto, et al., J. Med. Chem., 42, 1789-1802 (1999).
  • On-going treatment of HIV-infected individuals with compounds that inhibit HIV protease has led to the development of mutant viruses that possess protesases that are resistant to the inhibitory effect of these compounds. Thus, to be effective, new HIV protease inhibitors must be effective not only against wild-type strains of HIV, but must also demonstrate efficacy against the newly emerging mutant strains that are resistant to the commercially available protease inhibitors. Accordingly, there continues to be a need for new inhibitors targeting the HIV protease in both wild type and mutant strains of HIV.

Methanesulfonic acid (0.36 mL, 5.32 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes, then at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was re-cooled to 0° C. and quenched with 5% Na2CO3 (5 mL) then extracted with EtOAc (10 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give 3 as a yellow oil. The yellow oil 3 (0.34 g, 1.15 mmol) was dissolved in EtOAc (12 mL). AMB-AHPBA 4 (0.40 g, 1.09 mmol) was added followed by HOBt (0.15 g, 1.09 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature 1 h, then cooled to 0° C. DCC (0.24 g, 1.15 mmol) was slowly added as solution in EtOAc (6 mL). The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was washed with 1N HCl (10 mL), saturated NaHCO3 (10 mL), brine (10 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give a crude white solid (contaminated with DCU). The DCU was removed by flash chromatography (30% to 50% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide a white solid, which was dissolved in MeOH (2 mL) and treated with 4N HCl in 1,4-dioxane (0.26 mL, 1.1 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight then partitioned between 1N HCl (10 mL) and EtOAc (10 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to a residue which was purified by flash chromatography (60% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide the title compound as a white solid: mp=125-126° C.; IR (cm−1) 3320, 2932, 1704, 1644, 1530, 1454, 1361, 1284; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 9.36 (s, 1H), 8.28 (d, J=8.6, 1H), 8.21 (d, J=8.8, 1H), 7.35-6.91 (m, 10H), 6.76 (d, J=8.0, 1H), 6.54 (d, J=7.5, 1H), 5.34 (d, J=6.0, 1H), 5.13 (d, J=9.0, 1H), 5.02 (d, J=9.0, 1H), 4.60-4.30 (m, 4H), 2.81-2.68 (m, 4H), 1.81 (s, 3H), 1.78-1.60 (m, 4H), 1.48 (s, 3H), 1.45 (s, 3H); Anal.

  • The title compound was prepared as follows. (R)-5,5-Dimethyl-thiazolidine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid 3-tert-butyl ester 1 (1.95 g, 7.47 mmol) was dissolved in EtOAc (25 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Diphenyl chlorophosphate (1.71 mL, 8.23 mmol) was added followed by TEA (1.14 mL, 8.23 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, and treated with (S)-Cyclohex-2-enylamine (0.8 g, 8.23 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, then partitioned between 1N HCl (25 mL) and EtOAc (30 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to a yellow oil. The resulting oil (2.54 g, 7.47 mmol) was dissolved in EtOAc (30 mL) and then cooled to 0° C. Methanesulfonic acid (2.27 mL, 33.62 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes, then at room temperature for 4 h. The mixture was re-cooled to 0° C. and quenched with 10% Na2CO3 (30 mL) then extracted with EtOAc (30 mL). Organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow oil 3. The resulting yellow oil (1.86 g, 7.74 mmol) was dissolved in EtOAc (77 mL). BOC-AHPBA 4 (2.29 g, 7.74 mmol) was added followed by HOBt (1.05 g, 7.74 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature 1 h, then cooled to 0° C. DCC (1.60 g, 7.74 mmol) was slowly added as solution in EtOAc (30 mL). The mixture was allowed to gradually warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was washed with 1N HCl (40 mL), saturated NaHCO3 (40 mL), brine (40 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give a crude white solid (contaminated with DCU). The DCU was removed by flash chromatography (30% to 50% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide a white solid (4 g, 7.73 mmol), which was dissolved in EtOAc (30 mL) and then cooled to 0° C. Methanesulfonic acid (2.35 mL, 34.76 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes, then at room temperature for 3 h. The mixture was re-cooled to 0° C. and quenched with 10% Na2CO3 (35 mL) then extracted with EtOAc (30 mL). Organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give a material which was recrystalized from 60% EtOAc in hexanes to provide B1 (2.41 g, 80%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.21 (d, J=8.1, 1H), 7.31-7.17 (m, 5H), 5.80 (d, J=5.6, 1H), 5.52-5.48 (m, 2H), 5.30-5.25 (m, 2H), 4.89 (s, 2H), 4.26 (s, 1H), 4.21-4.00 (m, 3H), 3.15-2.70 (m, 2H), 2.50-2.00 (m, 2H), 2.00-1.00 (m, 4H), 1.49 (s,-3H), 1.31 (s, 3H); Anal.

  • The synthesis of compounds with the general structure 24 is as follows. The boc-protected carboxylic acids 20a-j are coupled to the requisite amines 2 to yield amino amides 23 using a two step process. The process includes treatment of 20 with 2 in the presence of either diphenyl chlorophosphate or EDCI, followed by exposure to HCl or methane sulfonic acid. Final compounds 24 are obtained by a DCC-mediated coupling of 23 and 4 followed by deprotection of the P2 phenol. Final compounds were purified either by flash chromatography or preparative HPLC.

  • The title compound was prepared as follows. (R)-5,5-Dimethyl-thiazolidine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid 3-tert-butyl ester 1 (1.0 g, 3.80 mmol) was dissolved in benzene (10 mL) and cooled to 0° C. with magnetic stirring. Two drops of DMF were added followed by a drop wise addition of oxalyl chloride (0.33 mL, 3.80 mmol). When gas evolution ceased, the solution was concentrated to a yellow/red residue. The material was dissolved in dry THF (10 mL) and cooled to −78° C. with magnetic stirring. The grignard reagent, 3-butenylmagnesium bromide (7.7 mL, 3.80 mmol) was added dropwise over 10 min. The result was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h then at −55° C. for 30 min. The reaction was quenched at −55° C. with sat NH4Cl soln.(3 mL) and then poured into H2O (50 mL). The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organics were washed with brine (1×100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated.

  • The combinatorial building block, 8, is prepared using the following method. The boc-protected thiazolidine carboxylic acid, 1, is treated with allyl bromide in the presence of NaHCO3 to yield the boc-protected thiazolidine allyl ester, 2. Deprotection of boc-protected allyl ester, 2, with HCl (g) in EtOAc gives the HCl salt of the thiazolidine allyl ester amine, 3, which is treated with TEA and coupled to 4 in the presence of HOBT and DCC to give the building block precursor, 5. Deprotection of the building block, 5, with 4N HCl yields the phenol, 6. Loading the building block, 6, on to activated cross-linked trityl chloride polystyrene beads, 7, was accomplished in the following manner. The polystyrene cross-linked trityl alcohol was activated to the trityl chloride, 7, by treatment with 20% acetyl chloride in anhydrous CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The trityl chloride beads were combined with the phenol 6 in the presence of Hunig's base in anhydrous CH2Cl2 to yield the substrate loaded polystyrene beads 8. Intermediates were purified either by flash chromatography or preparative HPLC.

  • Figure US20070021354A1-20070125-C00387
  • The solid phase combinatorial synthesis of HIV protease inhibitors was performed using the IRORI Directed Sorting Technology. Commercial 4-formyl-3-methoxyphenoxymethyl polystyrene resin 1a (PS-MB-CHO, Argonaut Technologies) or 4-formyl-3,5-dimethoxyphenoxymethyl polystyrene resin 1b (PL-FDMP resin, Polymer Laboratories) was loaded into individual MiniKans.
  • Step A. Reductive Amination with P2′ Amines
  • To separate flasks containing sorted MiniKans was added DCM (3 mL/MiniKan). The appropriate primary P2′ amine (3 eq), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (5 eq), and acetic acid (3 eq) were added, and the mixtures were placed under argon, agitated with periodic venting at room temperature for 1-2 hours, and allowed to react overnight. For resin 1a, the filtrates were poured off and the MiniKans were washed with DCM, MeOH (2×), DCM (2×), Et3N/DCM (1:3, 3×), DCM (2×), MeOH (3×), and DCM (4×). For resin 1b, a washing sequence of DCM, MeOH (2×), DCM (2×), Et3N/DCM (1:3, 3×), DCM (2×), DMF, 1M NaOH/DMF (1:5, 3×), DMF (3×), MeOH (3×), and DCM (3×) was used. The MiniKans were dried under vacuum and taken on in Step B.
  • Step B. Peptide Coupling with P1′ Amino Acids
  • To separate flasks containing the sorted MiniKans was added DMF (3 mL/MiniKan). The appropriate FMOC-protected amino acid (2.5 eq) and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAT) (3 eq) were added and mixed until dissolved, and 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) (3 eq) was added. The containers were placed under argon and agitated at room temperature overnight. The filtrates were poured off, and the MiniKans were washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (3×), DCM (2×), and DMF (2×). The MiniKans were taken directly on to Step C.
  • Step C. FMOC Deprotection
  • A container of MiniKans in DMF and piperidine (25%) with a total reaction volume of 3 mL/MiniKan was agitated under argon at room temperature for 45 minutes. The filtrate was removed, and the reaction procedure was repeated. The MiniKans were filtered and washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (2×), DCM (3×), and DMF, and taken directly on to Step D.
  • Step D. Peptide Coupling with FMOC-APNS
  • FMOC-Allophenylnorstatine (APNS) (3 eq) was added to the flask of MiniKans in DMF (3 mL/MiniKan). After dissolution, HOAT (3.5 eq) and DIC (3.5 eq) were added. The mixture was placed under argon and agitated at room temperature overnight. The reaction was filtered and the MiniKans were washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (3×), DCM (3×), and DMF. FMOC deprotection was carried out as in Step C, and the MiniKans were washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (2×), DCM (3×), dried under vacuum and taken on to Step E or F.
  • Step E. Peptide Coupling with P2 Acids
  • To separate flasks containing the sorted MiniKans in DMF (3 mL/MiniKan) was added the appropriate P2 acid (3 eq), HOBT hydrate (4 eq), and (3-(dimethylamino)propyl)ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) (3.5 eq). The reaction was agitated under argon at room temperature for 3 hours. After filtration, the MiniKans were washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (3×), and DCM (3×), dried under vacuum, and taken on to Step G.
  • Step F. Reaction with P2 Isocyanates and Chloroformates
  • To separate flasks containing the sorted MiniKans in DCM (3 mL/MiniKan) was added the P2 isocyanate (3 eq) or P2 chlorofornate (5 eq) and diisopropylethylamine (10 eq). The containers were agitated under argon at room temperature for 2-4 hours. After filtration, the MiniKans were washed with DCM (3×), MeOH (3×), and DCM (3×), dried under vacuum, and taken on to Step G.
  • Step G. Cleavage and Processing of the HIV Analogs
  • The individual MiniKans were sorted into cleavage racks and a solution of 25% TFA in DCM (3 mL/MiniKan) was added. The racks were agitated for 1.5 hours. The individual filtrates and DCM rinses were collected, concentrated, and purified by HPLC to provide the final compounds.

    Scheme 3 Experimental
  • The solid phase combinatorial synthesis of HIV protease inhibitors was performed using the IRORI Directed Sorting Technology. Commercial 4-formyl-3-methoxyphenoxymethyl polystyrene resin 1a (PS-MB-CHO, Argonaut Technologies) or 4-formyl-3,5-dimethoxyphenoxymethyl polystyrene resin 1b (PL-FDMP resin, Polymer Laboratories) was loaded into individual MiniKans.
  • Step A. Reductive Amination with P2′ Amines
  • To separate flasks containing sorted MiniKans was added DCM (3 mL/MiniKan). The appropriate primary P2′ amine (3 eq), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (5 eq), and acetic acid (3 eq) were added, and the mixtures were placed under argon, agitated with periodic venting at room temperature for 1-2 hours, and allowed to react overnight. For resin 1a, the filtrates were poured off and the MiniKans were washed with DCM, MeOH (2×), DCM (2×), Et3N/DCM (1:3, 3×), DCM (2×), MeOH (3×), and DCM (4×). For resin 1b, a washing sequence of DCM, MeOH (2×), DCM (2×), Et3N/DCM (1:3, 3×), DCM (2×), DMF, 1M NaOH/DMF (1:5, 3×), DMF (3×), MeOH (3×), and DCM (3×) was used. The MiniKans were dried under vacuum and taken on in Step B.
  • Step B. Peptide Coupling with P1′ Amino Acids
  • To separate flasks containing the sorted MiniKans was added DMF (3 mL/MiniKan). The appropriate FMOC-protected amino acid (2.5 eq) and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAT) (3 eq) were added and mixed until dissolved, and 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) (3 eq) was added. The containers were placed under argon and agitated at room temperature overnight. The filtrates were poured off, and the MiniKans were washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (3×), DCM (2×), and DMF (2×). The MiniKans were taken directly on to Step C.
  • Step C. FMOC Deprotection
  • A container of MiniKans in DMF and piperidine (25%) with a total reaction volume of 3 mL/MiniKan was agitated under argon at room temperature for 45 minutes. The filtrate was removed, and the reaction procedure was repeated. The MiniKans were filtered and washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (2×), DCM (3×), and DMF, and taken directly on to Step D.
  • Step D. Peptide Coupling with FMOC-APNS
  • FMOC-Allophenylnorstatine (APNS) (3 eq) was added to the flask of MiniKans in DMF (3 mL/MiniKan). After dissolution, HOAT (3.5 eq) and DIC (3.5 eq) were added. The mixture was placed under argon and agitated at room temperature overnight. The reaction was filtered and the MiniKans were washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (3×), DCM (3×), and DMF. FMOC deprotection was carried out as in Step C, and the MiniKans were washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (2×), DCM (3×), dried under vacuum and taken on to Step E or F.
  • Step E. Peptide Coupling with P2 Acids
  • To separate flasks containing the sorted MiniKans in DMF (3 mL/MiniKan) was added the appropriate P2 acid (3 eq), HOBT hydrate (4 eq), and (3-(dimethylamino)propyl)ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) (3.5 eq). The reaction was agitated under argon at room temperature for 3 hours. After filtration, the MiniKans were washed with DMF (3×), MeOH (3×), and DCM (3×), dried under vacuum, and taken on to Step G.
  • Step F. Reaction with P2 Isocyanates and Chloroformates
  • To separate flasks containing the sorted MiniKans in DCM (3 mL/MiniKan) was added the P2 isocyanate (3 eq) or P2 chloroformate (5 eq) and diisopropylethylamine (10 eq). The containers were agitated under argon at room temperature for 24 hours. After filtration, the MiniKans were washed with DCM (3×), MeOH (3×), and DCM (3×), dried under vacuum, and taken on to Step G.
  • Step G. Cleavage and Processing of the HIV Analogs
  • The individual MiniKans were sorted into cleavage racks and a solution of 25% TFA in DCM (3 mL/MiniKan) was added. The racks were agitated for 1.5 hours. The individual filtrates and DCM rinses were collected, concentrated, and purified by HPLC to provide the final compounds.

    • Biological Evaluation
  • Cells and Virus
  • T-cell lines, CEM-SS, and MT-2, and viruses HIV-1 RF and HIV-1 NL4-3 (pNL4-3) were obtained from the National Institutes of Health (AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program, Bethesda, MD). HIV-1 NL4-3 (184V/L90M) was derived from a clinical isolate that exhibited the protease inhibitor-resistance associated substitutions 184V and L90M, by cloning of an reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction amplified fragment into the unique AgeI and SpeI restriction sites of pNL4-3.
  • Cytopathic Effect (CPE) Inhibition Assays
  • The ability of compounds to protect cells against HIV infection was measured by the MTT dye reduction method, essentially as described (See Pauwels, R. Balzarini, J. Baba, M. Snoeck, R. Schols, D. Herdewijn, P. Desmyter, J. and De Clercq, E. 1988, “Rapid and automated tetrazolium-based calorimetric assay for the detection of anti-HIV compounds,”. J Virol. Methods., 20: 309-321 and Weislow, O. S. Kiser, R. Fine, D. L. Bader, J. Shoemaker, R. H. and Boyd, M. R. 1989. “New soluble-formazan assay for HIV-1 cytopathic effects: application to high-flux screening of synthetic and natural products for AIDS-antiviral activity”. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 81:577-586). Subject cells were infected with test virus at an moi of 0.025 to 0.819 or mock infected with medium only and added at 2×104 cells per well into 96 well plates containing half-log dilutions of test compounds. Six days later, 50 μl of XTT (1 mg/ml XTT tetrazolium, 0.02 nM phenazine methosulfate) was added to the wells and the plate was reincubated for four hours. Viability, as determined by the amount of XTT formazan produced, was quantified spectrophotometrically by absorbance at 450 nm. Data from CPE assays were expressed as the percent of formazan produced in compound-treated cells compared to formazan produced in wells of uninfected, compound-free cells. The fifty percent effective concentration (EC50) was calculated as the concentration of compound that effected an increase in the percentage of formazan production in infected, compound-treated cells to 50% of that produced by uninfected, compound-free cells. The 50% cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) was calculated as the concentration of compound that decreased the percentage of formazan produced in uninfected, compound-treated cells to 50% of that produced in uninfected, compound-free cells. The therapeutic index was calculated by dividing the cytotoxicity (CC50) by the antiviral activity (EC50).
  • Susceptibility Assays
  • Compounds were tested in phenotypic susceptibility assays at Virologic, Inc., (See Petropoulos C. J., Parkin N. T., Limoli K. L., Lie Y. S., Wrin T., Huang W., Tian H., Smith D., Winslow G. A., Capon D J, Whitcomb J M. 2000, “A novel phenotypic drug susceptibility assay for human immunodeficiency virus type 1,” Antimicrob Agents Chemother 44(4):920-928) or using the assay described here. MT-2 cells were infected with either HIV-1 NL4-3 or HIV-1 NL4-3(184V/L90M) and incubated in the presence of serial 0.5 log dilutions of test compounds. Three days later, culture supernatants were collected and virus production, as determined by p24 ELISA, was assayed. Percent inhibition was calculated as p24 concentration in compound-treated samples as compared to infected, compound-free controls. Inhibition of viral replication is determined by measuring reduction in HIV p24 present in the culture supernatant, using a Beckman-Coulter p24 HIV-1 Ag EIA kit and following the supplied protocol. Absorbance is read on a MRX microplate reader (Dynex Technologies). The EC50 was calculated as the concentration of compound that effected a decrease in the p24 production by infected, compound-treated cells to 50% of that produced by infected, compound-free cells.
  • HIV-1 Protease RET Assay
  • Ki's for the inhibitors of HIV-1 protease were determined using a resonance energy transfer (RET) assay. A mutant form of this enzyme (Q7S) is used for this assay because it is more stable against auto-proteolysis than the wild-type protein. This enzyme is first partially purified as inclusion bodies from cell lysate. It is then solublized in 8M urea and passed through a Q-Sepharose column (Pharmacia) for further purification. To refold this protein, samples containing Q7S is dialyzed into 50 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM DTT, and 10% glycerol.
  • The commercially available peptide substrate (Molecular Probes Cat. #H-2930) RE(EDANS)SQNYPIVQK(DABCYL)R is used to assess activity and Ki's. This peptide is cleaved quantitatively by HIV-1 Pr at the Tyr-Pro bond. The EDANS fluorophore absorbs at 340 mm and emits at 490 nm. The reaction is carried out in a 96 well plate in a total volume of 100 μL and is run for 12 minutes at 37 C under steady-state conditions with 5 μM substrate and 2 nM active dimer enzyme concentration. The literature value Km for this substrate and enzyme is 103 +/−8 μM (See Matayoshi, et al., “Novel Fluorogenic Substrates for Assaying Retroviral Proteases by Resonance Energy Transfer,” Science 247, 954 (1990)). The buffer for this reaction is 0.1M sodium acetate pH 4.8, 1M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 5 mM dithiothreitol, 10% dimethyl sulfoxide and 1 mg/ml bovine serum 5 albumin. Inhibition curves are fit using the Morrison tight binding equation.
