Definitions

  • the present application is directed, inter alia, to nucleotide analogs, pharmaceutical compositions that include a disclosed nucleotide analog, and processes for their synthesis. Also included are methods of treating diseases and/or conditions with the disclosed nucleotide analog, alone or in combination therapy with one or more other agents, including in particular for the treatment of a viral infection such as that caused by a papillomavirus.
  • Viruses are infectious particles that can replicate their DNA or RNA only within host cells. Viral infections may lead to mild to severe illnesses in humans and mammals, and in some instances, can result in death. Examples of viral infections include hepatitis B and C, smallpox, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza, adenovirus, chickenpox, BK virus, JC virus and papillomavirus. Viral infection can lead to cancer in humans and other species. Viruses known to cause cancer include human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV and Epstein Barr virus (EBV).
  • HPV human papillomavirus
  • HBV hepatitis B virus
  • HCV hepatitis C virus
  • HIV Epstein Barr virus
  • Papillomaviruses are a group of non-enveloped DNA viruses, which in humans infect keratinocytes of skin and mucous membranes including in the anogenital area. They are known to cause skin warts, genital warts, and respiratory papillomatosis and cancer. In women, Papillomaviruses can cause precancerous cervical lesions which lead to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, vaginal and anal intraepithelial neoplasia, and ultimately cervical cancer.
  • HPV human immunodeficiency virus
  • Most of the cancer-causing HPV types are from the alpha-7 and alpha-9 species and include types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82.
  • Cancers caused by HPV include cervical, rectal, penile, vaginal and oropharyngeal cancer.
  • the most common cancer-causing HPV types are 16 and 18.
  • HPV-16 and -18 are reported to be the cause of 70% of cervical cancers; and 90% of venereal warts are caused by the low risk HPV types 6 and 11.
  • HPV infection can be detected using a PAP smear and/or DNA probe testing with products such as CEREVISTA® (Hologic), COBAS® (Roche) and other commercially available products.
  • HPV DNA tests detect DNA from 14 high-risk HPV types, including HPV-16 and HPV 18.
  • Vaccines have been developed for HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18, which may be effective if administered prior to sexual debut. However, the HPV vaccines may provide little benefit in sexually active women who have already been infected with HPV.
  • HPV replication and viral DNA synthesis that produce mature virions first takes place in the basilar layer of cervical epithelial cells and amplifies to involve the suprabasilar cells as the infection proceeds. After months or years of infection, elements of the HPV DNA episome can become integrated into the epithelial cell genomic DNA.
  • the integrated elements generally include viral L1, the long control region (LCR), and the E6 and E7 oncogenes. This results in overexpression of E6 and E7 oncoproteins that over time cause the loss of cell cycle controls and progression to cervical cancer.
  • LCR long control region
  • E6 and E7 oncogenes This results in overexpression of E6 and E7 oncoproteins that over time cause the loss of cell cycle controls and progression to cervical cancer.
  • cervical cancer cell lines which have integrated HPV DNA such as HeLa (HPV18), SiHa (HPV16), CaSki (HPV16) and Me180 (HPV39) productive viral replication is not occurring.
  • antiviral drugs are nucleoside or nucleotide analogs, which interfere with DNA or RNA replication necessary for viral growth.
  • antiviral nucleoside analogs include RETROVIR®, ZOVIRAX®, CYTOVENE®, EPIVIR® and EMTRIVA®.
  • Nucleotide analogs include the acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs). Nucleotide analogs were initially designed to circumvent the first phosphorylation of a parent nucleoside. This first phosphorylation has been identified as the limiting step in the generation of the active nucleoside triphosphate. Examples of ANPs include adefovir, tenofovir and cidofovir (CDV) which are active against human infections such as HBV, HIV and CMV, respectively. ANPs are known in the art to be poorly adsorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of mammals due to 1) their molecular weight and 2) the presence of a double negative charge on the phosphonate moiety.
  • ANPs are known in the art to be poorly adsorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of mammals due to 1) their molecular weight and 2) the presence of a double negative charge on the phosphonate moiety.
  • ANPs have been converted to prodrugs to produce clinically useful therapeutic agents.
  • VIREAD® a disoproxil (diester) fumarate salt
  • Adefovir is marketed as HEPSERA®; a dipivoxil ester, for the treatment of HBV.
  • ANP prodrugs include the phase II pradefovir and phase III GS-7340, see, Pradere, U. et al., “Synthesis of Nucleoside and Phosphonate Prodrugs”, Chemical Reviews, 2014, 114, 9154-9218 and the structures following.
  • alkoxyalkyl monoesters or alkyl monoesters An alternate approach to increasing the oral bioavailability of ANPs has been to prepare alkoxyalkyl monoesters or alkyl monoesters. See, for example, Beadle et al., “Synthesis and Antiviral Evaluation of Alkoxyalkyl Derivatives of 9-(S)-(3-Hydroxy-2-phosphono-methoxypropyl)adenine against Cytomegalovirus”, J. Med.
  • HDP-CDV brincidofovir
  • HDP-CDV brincidofovir
  • the drug is currently in Phase III. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,006,218; 8,993,542; 8,962,829; 8,614,200; 8,569,321; 7,994,143; 7,749,983; 6,599,887; 6,448,392; WO 2007/130783; WO 2008/133966; WO 2009/094190; WO 2011/011519; WO 2011/011710; WO 2011/017253 and WO 2011/053812.
  • PMEG diphosphate is a chain-terminating inhibitor of DNA polymerases alpha, delta and epsilon (Kramata P, Votruba I, Otová B, Hol ⁇ A. Different inhibitory potencies of acyclic phosphonomethoxyalkyl nucleotide analogs toward DNA polymerases alpha, delta and epsilon. Mol Pharmacol. 1996 June; 49(6):1005-11. PubMed PMID: 8649338). However its inhibition of polymerases beta, gamma and epsilon is less pronounced. Pol delta and epsilon are involved in DNA repair and have exonuclease activity.
  • the pyrimidine, 5-fluorouracil, is active against HPV but is highly toxic.
  • the broad spectrum antiviral agent GSK983 has been shown to have anti HPV activity but has not been studied extensively in humans yet.
  • Other small molecules having anti-HPV activity include the cobalt complex CDC-96, indol-3-carbinol (I3C) and the immunomodulatory Imiquimod, see, US 2015/0011488.
  • the invention describes compounds with antiviral activity against a papillomavirus in the absence of a significant antiproliferative host cell effect.
  • the invention includes antiviral agents that selectively inhibit and/or block viral DNA synthesis and/or the production of virions of high risk HPV types. Inhibition and/or blockage of viral DNA synthesis and/or the production of virions of high risk HPV types can then eradicate the papillomavirus infection before cellular changes take place which can lead to invasive cancers, such as those described herein, and thus represent an advance in the art.
  • One embodiment of the invention provides an effective amount of an antiviral compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for ameliorating or treating a host infected with a human papillomavirus, wherein the human papillomavirus can be ameliorated or treated by inhibiting viral replication by inhibiting the synthesis of viral DNA.
  • Another embodiment disclosed herein is a method for ameliorating or treating a host infected with a human papillomavirus that includes contacting a cell infected with the human papillomavirus and/or administering to a subject infected with the human papillomavirus an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the human papillomavirus can be ameliorated or treated by selectively inhibiting viral replication by inhibiting the synthesis of viral DNA.

    • FIELD
  • The present application is directed, inter alia, to nucleotide analogs, pharmaceutical compositions that include a disclosed nucleotide analog, and processes for their synthesis. Also included are methods of treating diseases and/or conditions with the disclosed nucleotide analog, alone or in combination therapy with one or more other agents, including in particular for the treatment of a viral infection such as that caused by a papillomavirus.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Viruses are infectious particles that can replicate their DNA or RNA only within host cells. Viral infections may lead to mild to severe illnesses in humans and mammals, and in some instances, can result in death. Examples of viral infections include hepatitis B and C, smallpox, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza, adenovirus, chickenpox, BK virus, JC virus and papillomavirus. Viral infection can lead to cancer in humans and other species. Viruses known to cause cancer include human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV and Epstein Barr virus (EBV).
  • Papillomaviruses are a group of non-enveloped DNA viruses, which in humans infect keratinocytes of skin and mucous membranes including in the anogenital area. They are known to cause skin warts, genital warts, and respiratory papillomatosis and cancer. In women, Papillomaviruses can cause precancerous cervical lesions which lead to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, vaginal and anal intraepithelial neoplasia, and ultimately cervical cancer.
  • Several species of the alpha-papillomavirus genus contain high risk types of HPV which are more likely to lead to human cancer. Most of the cancer-causing HPV types are from the alpha-7 and alpha-9 species and include types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82. Cancers caused by HPV include cervical, rectal, penile, vaginal and oropharyngeal cancer. The most common cancer-causing HPV types are 16 and 18. HPV-16 and -18 are reported to be the cause of 70% of cervical cancers; and 90% of venereal warts are caused by the low risk HPV types 6 and 11. The presence of a HPV infection can be detected using a PAP smear and/or DNA probe testing with products such as CEREVISTA® (Hologic), COBAS® (Roche) and other commercially available products. Currently available HPV DNA tests detect DNA from 14 high-risk HPV types, including HPV-16 and HPV 18. Vaccines have been developed for HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18, which may be effective if administered prior to sexual debut. However, the HPV vaccines may provide little benefit in sexually active women who have already been infected with HPV.
  • HPV replication and viral DNA synthesis that produce mature virions first takes place in the basilar layer of cervical epithelial cells and amplifies to involve the suprabasilar cells as the infection proceeds. After months or years of infection, elements of the HPV DNA episome can become integrated into the epithelial cell genomic DNA. The integrated elements generally include viral L1, the long control region (LCR), and the E6 and E7 oncogenes. This results in overexpression of E6 and E7 oncoproteins that over time cause the loss of cell cycle controls and progression to cervical cancer. However, in cervical cancer cell lines which have integrated HPV DNA such as HeLa (HPV18), SiHa (HPV16), CaSki (HPV16) and Me180 (HPV39) productive viral replication is not occurring. Thus, studies of compounds which inhibit cell division of human cervical cancer cell lines that contain integrated E6 and E7 do not provide knowledge about the inhibition of productive viral DNA synthesis. Additional information regarding HPV and its replication is provided in FIELDS VIROLOGY 1662-1703 (David M. Knipe, Ph.D. and Peter M. Howley, MD eds., 6th ed., Wolters Kluwer, 2013) (2001), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. There is presently no approved antiviral treatment for a human papillomavirus infection.
  • One class of antiviral drugs are nucleoside or nucleotide analogs, which interfere with DNA or RNA replication necessary for viral growth. Examples of antiviral nucleoside analogs include RETROVIR®, ZOVIRAX®, CYTOVENE®, EPIVIR® and EMTRIVA®.
  • Nucleotide analogs include the acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs). Nucleotide analogs were initially designed to circumvent the first phosphorylation of a parent nucleoside. This first phosphorylation has been identified as the limiting step in the generation of the active nucleoside triphosphate. Examples of ANPs include adefovir, tenofovir and cidofovir (CDV) which are active against human infections such as HBV, HIV and CMV, respectively. ANPs are known in the art to be poorly adsorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of mammals due to 1) their molecular weight and 2) the presence of a double negative charge on the phosphonate moiety. Because of their poor oral pharmacokinetic properties, ANPs have been converted to prodrugs to produce clinically useful therapeutic agents. For example, tenofovir is marketed as VIREAD®; a disoproxil (diester) fumarate salt, for the treatment of HIV. Adefovir is marketed as HEPSERA®; a dipivoxil ester, for the treatment of HBV.

Another embodiment disclosed herein is a method for ameliorating or treating a host infected with a human papillomavirus that includes contacting a cell infected with the human papillomavirus and/or administering to a subject infected with the human papillomavirus an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the human papillomavirus can be ameliorated or treated by selectively inhibiting viral replication by inhibiting the synthesis of viral DNA.
  • The present invention includes at least the following features:
  • (a) an antiviral compound of Formula I as described herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof (each of which and all subgenuses and species thereof considered individually and specifically described);
  • (b) an antiviral Formula I as described herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof, for use in treating or preventing a viral infection such as papillomavirus;
  • (c) use of Formula I, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for use in treating or preventing a viral disease such as papillomavirus;
  • (d) a process for manufacturing a medicament intended for the therapeutic use for treating or preventing treating or preventing a viral disease such as papillomavirus further herein characterized in that Formula I as described herein is used in the manufacture;
  • (e) a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an effective host-treating amount of the Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent;
  • (f) Formula I as described herein in substantially pure form, including substantially isolated from other chemical entities (e.g., at least 90 or 95%);
  • (g) processes for the manufacture of the compounds of Formula I and salts, compositions, dosage forms thereof; and
  • (h) processes for the preparation of therapeutic products that contain an effective amount of Formula I, as described herein.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions
  • Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. All patents, applications, published applications and other publications referenced herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety unless stated otherwise. In the event that there are a plurality of definitions for a term herein, those in this section prevail unless stated otherwise.
  • As used herein, any “R” group(s) such as, without limitation, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, and R11 represent substituents that can be attached to the indicated atom. An R group may be substituted or unsubstituted. If two “R” groups are described as being “taken together” the R groups and the atoms they are attached to can form a cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl or heterocycle. For example, without limitation, if Ra and Rb of an NRaRb group are indicated to be “taken together,” it means that they are covalently bonded to one another to form a ring:
  • Figure US20220395510A1-20221215-C00004
  • In addition, if two “R” groups are described as being “taken together” with the atom(s) to which they are attached to form a ring as an alternative, the R groups are not limited to the variables or substituents defined previously.
  • Whenever a group is described as being “optionally substituted” that group may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more of the indicated substituents. Likewise, when a group is described as being “unsubstituted or substituted” if substituted, the substituent(s) may be selected from one or more of the indicated substituents. If no substituents are indicated, it is meant that the indicated “optionally substituted” or “substituted” group may be substituted with one or more group(s) individually and independently selected from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, aryl(alkyl), heteroaryl(alkyl), (heterocyclyl)alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyl, cyano, halogen, thiocarbonyl, O-carbamyl, N-carbamyl, O-thiocarbamyl, N-thiocarbamyl, C-amido, N-amido, S-sulfonamido, N-sulfonamido, C-carboxy, O-carboxy, isocyanato, thiocyanato, isothiocyanato, nitro, azido, silyl, sulfenyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, trihalomethanesulfonyl, trihalomethanesulfonamido, an amino, a mono-substituted amino group and a di-substituted amino group.
  • As used herein, “Ca to Cb,” “Ca-Cb,” “Ca-b” and the like in which “a” and “b” are integers, refer to the number of carbon atoms in an alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group, or the number of carbon atoms in the ring of a cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl or heterocyclyl group. That is, the alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, ring of the cycloalkyl, ring of the cycloalkenyl, ring of the aryl, ring of the heteroaryl or ring of the heterocyclyl can contain from “a” to “b”, inclusive, carbon atoms. Thus, for example, a “C1 to C4 alkyl” group refers to all alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbons, that is, CH3—, CH3CH2—, CH3CH2CH2—, (CH3)2CH—, CH3CH2CH2CH2—, CH3CH2CH(CH3)— and (CH3)3C—. If no “a” and “b” are designated with regard to an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl cycloalkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl or heterocyclyl group, the broadest range described in these definitions is to be assumed.
  • As used herein, “alkyl” refers to a straight or branched hydrocarbon chain that comprises a fully saturated (no double or triple bonds) hydrocarbon group. The alkyl group may have 1 to 20 carbon atoms (whenever it appears herein, a numerical range such as “1 to 20” refers to each integer in the given range; e.g., “1 to 20 carbon atoms” means that the alkyl group may consist of 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, etc., up to and including 20 carbon atoms, although the present definition also covers the occurrence of the term “alkyl” where no numerical range is designated). The alkyl group may also be a medium size alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. The alkyl group could also be a lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The alkyl group of the compounds may be designated as “C1-C4 alkyl” or similar designations. By way of example only, “C1-C4 alkyl” indicates that there are one to four carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, i.e., the alkyl chain is selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl and t-butyl. Typical alkyl groups include, but are in no way limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tertiary butyl, pentyl and hexyl. The alkyl group may be substituted or unsubstituted.
  • As used herein, “alkenyl” refers to an alkyl group that contains in the straight or branched hydrocarbon chain one or more double bonds. An alkenyl group may be unsubstituted or substituted.
  • As used herein, “alkynyl” refers to an alkyl group that contains in the straight or branched hydrocarbon chain one or more triple bonds. An alkynyl group may be unsubstituted or substituted.
  • As used herein, “cycloalkyl” refers to a completely saturated (no double or triple bonds) mono- or multi-cyclic hydrocarbon ring system. When composed of two or more rings, the rings may be joined together in a fused fashion. Cycloalkyl groups can contain 3 to 10 atoms in the ring(s) or 3 to 8 atoms in the ring(s). A cycloalkyl group may be unsubstituted or substituted. Typical cycloalkyl groups include, but are in no way limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and cyclooctyl.
  • As used herein, “cycloalkenyl” refers to a mono- or multi-cyclic hydrocarbon ring system that contains one or more double bonds in at least one ring; although, if there is more than one, the double bonds cannot form a fully delocalized pi-electron system throughout all the rings (otherwise the group would be “aryl,” as defined herein). When composed of two or more rings, the rings may be connected together in a fused fashion. A cycloalkenyl group may be unsubstituted or substituted.
  • As used herein, “aryl” refers to a carbocyclic (all carbon) monocyclic or multicyclic aromatic ring system (including fused ring systems where two carbocyclic rings share a chemical bond) that has a fully delocalized pi-electron system throughout all the rings. The number of carbon atoms in an aryl group can vary. For example, the aryl group can be a C6-C14 aryl group, a C6-C10 aryl group, or a C6 aryl group. Examples of aryl groups include, but are not limited to, benzene, naphthalene and azulene. An aryl group may be substituted or unsubstituted.
  • As used herein, “heteroaryl” refers to a monocyclic or multicyclic aromatic ring system (a ring system with fully delocalized pi-electron system) that contain(s) one or more heteroatoms, that is, an element other than carbon, including but not limited to, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. The number of atoms in the ring(s) of a heteroaryl group can vary. For example, the heteroaryl group can contain 4 to 14 atoms in the ring(s), 5 to 10 atoms in the ring(s) or 5 to 6 atoms in the ring(s). Furthermore, the term “heteroaryl” includes fused ring systems where two rings, such as at least one aryl ring and at least one heteroaryl ring, or at least two heteroaryl rings, share at least one chemical bond. Examples of heteroaryl rings include, but are not limited to, furan, furazan, thiophene, benzothiophene, phthalazine, pyrrole, oxazole, benzoxazole, 1,2,3-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, thiazole, 1,2,3-thiadiazole, 1,2,4-thiadiazole, benzothiazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, indole, indazole, pyrazole, benzopyrazole, isoxazole, benzoisoxazole, isothiazole, triazole, benzotriazole, thiadiazole, tetrazole, pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, purine, pteridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, quinazoline, quinoxaline, cinnoline and triazine.

  • As will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, the useful in vivo dosage to be administered and the particular mode of administration will vary depending upon the age, weight, the severity of the affliction, and mammalian species treated, the particular compounds employed, and the specific use for which these compounds are employed. The determination of effective dosage levels, that is the dosage levels necessary to achieve the desired result, can be accomplished by one skilled in the art using routine methods, for example, human clinical trials and in vitro studies.
  • The dosage may range broadly, depending upon the desired effects and the therapeutic indication. Alternatively dosages may be based and calculated upon the surface area of the patient, as understood by those of skill in the art. Although the exact dosage will be determined on a drug-by-drug basis, in most cases, some generalizations regarding the dosage can be made. The daily dosage regimen for an adult human patient may be, for example, an oral dose of between 0.01 mg and 3000 mg of each active ingredient, preferably between 1 mg and 700 mg, e.g. 5 to 200 mg. For a topical or intravaginal administration, the dose may be between 0.02 mg to 200 mg. The dosage may be a single one or a series of two or more given in the course of one or more days, as is needed by the subject. In embodiments, the compounds will be administered for a period of continuous therapy, for example for a week or more, or for months or years. In embodiments, a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be administered less frequently compared to the frequency of administration of another agent. In embodiments, the total time of the treatment regime with a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can less compared to the total time of the treatment regime with another agent.
  • In instances where human dosages for compounds have been established for at least some condition, those same dosages may be used, or dosages that are between about 0.1% and 500%, more preferably between about 25% and 250% of the established human dosage. Where no human dosage is established, as will be the case for newly-discovered pharmaceutical compositions, a suitable human dosage can be inferred from ED50 or ID50 values, or other appropriate values derived from in vitro or in vivo studies, as qualified by toxicity studies and efficacy studies in animals.
  • In cases of administration of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, dosages may be calculated as the free base. As will be understood by those of skill in the art, in certain situations it may be necessary to administer the compounds disclosed herein in amounts that exceed, or even far exceed, the above-stated, preferred dosage range in order to effectively and aggressively treat particularly aggressive diseases or infections.
  • Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active moiety which are sufficient to maintain the modulating effects, or minimal effective concentration (MEC). The MEC will vary for each compound but can be estimated from in vitro data. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. However, HPLC assays or bioassays can be used to determine plasma concentrations. Dosage intervals can also be determined using MEC value. Compositions should be administered using a regimen which maintains plasma levels above the MEC for 10-90% of the time, preferably between 30-90% and most preferably between 50-90%. In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the drug may not be related to plasma concentration.
  • It should be noted that the attending physician would know how to and when to terminate, interrupt, or adjust administration due to toxicity or organ dysfunctions. Conversely, the attending physician would also know to adjust treatment to higher levels if the clinical response were not adequate (precluding toxicity). The magnitude of an administrated dose in the management of the disorder of interest will vary with the severity of the condition to be treated and to the route of administration. The severity of the condition may, for example, be evaluated, in part, by standard prognostic evaluation methods. Further, the dose and perhaps dose frequency, will also vary according to the age, body weight, and response of the individual patient. A program comparable to that discussed above may be used in veterinary medicine.
  • Compounds disclosed herein can be evaluated for efficacy and toxicity using known methods. For example, the toxicology of a particular compound, or of a subset of the compounds, sharing certain chemical moieties, may be established by determining in vitro toxicity towards a cell line, such as a mammalian, and preferably human, cell line. The results of such studies are often predictive of toxicity in animals, such as mammals, or more specifically, humans. Alternatively, the toxicity of particular compounds in an animal model, such as mice, rats, rabbits, or monkeys, may be determined using known methods. The efficacy of a particular compound may be established using several recognized methods, such as in vitro methods, animal models, or human clinical trials. When selecting a model to determine efficacy, the skilled artisan can be guided by the state of the art to choose an appropriate model, dose, route of administration and/or regime.
  • As described herein, a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can have a moiety(ies) that neutralize the charge of the phosphonate. By neutralizing the charge on the phosphonate, penetration of the cell membrane may be facilitated as a result of the increased lipophilicity of the compound. Once absorbed and taken inside the cell, the groups attached to the phosphorus can be easily removed by esterases, proteases and/or other enzymes. In embodiments, the groups attached to the phosphorus can be removed by simple hydrolysis. Inside the cell, the phosphonate thus released may then be metabolized by cellular enzymes to the monophosphate or to the diphosphate, the active metabolite. Furthermore, In embodiments, varying the substituents on a compound described herein, such as a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can help maintain the efficacy of the compound by reducing undesirable effects, such as isomerization.
  • In embodiments, a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can act as a chain terminator of DNA synthesis. Once the compound is incorporated into a DNA chain, no further elongation is observed to occur. In embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is metabolized such that the groups attached to the phosphorus atom are removed to generate a phosphonic acid. The phosphonic acid can then be anabolized to a diphosphate, the active metabolite, that can act as a chain terminator of DNA synthesis. Once the compound is incorporated into a DNA chain, no further elongation is observed to occur.
  • Additionally, In embodiments, the presence of a moiety(ies) that neutralizes the charge of the phosphonate can increase the stability of the compound by inhibiting its degradation. Also, In embodiments, the presence of a moiety(ies) that neutralizes the charge of the phosphonate can make the compound more resistant to cleavage in vivo and provide sustained, extended efficacy. In embodiments, a moiety(ies) that neutralizes the charge of the phosphonate can facilitate the penetration of the cell membrane by a compound of Formula (I) by making the compound more lipophilic. In embodiments, a moiety(ies) that neutralizes the charge of the phosphonate can have improved oral bioavailability, improved aqueous stability and/or reduced risk of byproduct-related toxicity.

  • The term “N-linked alpha-amino acid ester” refers to an amino acid that is attached to the indicated moiety via a main-chain amino or mono-substituted amino group and wherein the main-chain carboxylic acid group has been converted to an ester group. Examples of alpha-amino acids include, but are not limited to, alanine, asparagine, aspartate, cysteine, glutamate, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, tyrosine, arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. When the amino acid is attached in an —N-linked amino acid, one of the hydrogens that is part of the main-chain amino or mono-substituted amino group is not present and the amino acid is attached via the nitrogen. In embodiments, the ester group has a formula selected from alkyl-O—C(═O)—, cycloalkyl-O—C(═O)—, aryl-O—C(═O)— and aryl(alkyl)-O—C(═O)—. N-linked alpha-amino acid esters can be substituted or unsubstituted. When R1 and/or R2 is an N-linked alpha-amino acid ester, the main-chain nitrogen of the main-chain amino or mono-substituted amino group is the nitrogen of Z1 and/or Z2, respectively.

  • Without being bound by any particular theory, it is possible that rapidly dividing epithelial cells cannot effectively repair PMEG terminated viral primers. In embodiments the compounds described herein release PMEG very slowly thereby moderating intracellular levels of PMEG diphosphate, the active metabolite favoring antiviral activity and inhibition of HPV DNA synthesis, while higher intracellular levels of PMEG diphosphate (resulting from prodrugs that release PMEG diphosphate more quickly in the cell) lead to inhibition of cell division in a number of human cancers. It has been discovered herein, inter alia, that the anti-proliferative activity of the active metabolite PMEG diphosphate may be separated from the antiviral action of the active metabolite PMEG diphosphate by careful selection of the prodrug moiety to moderate the release rate of the active metabolite in the cell.

    • Example 21. Low Risk and High Risk HPV Assays
  • An origin-containing low risk or high risk HPV plasmid was co-transfected with homologous E1 and E2 protein expression vectors into HEK 293 cells. At 4 h post-transfection, cells were treated with test compound dilutions and then incubated for 48 h. HPV origin plasmid replication was detected after digestion with DpnI and exonuclease III to remove unreplicated transfected plasmids. Remaining replicated DNA was quantified by quantitative real time PCR (qPCR). In a parallel experiment in uninfected cells cytotoxicity was determined by trypan blue exclusion or CELLTITER-GLO® to find the concentration that reduced viable cell number by 50% (CC50). CC50 values were determined by trypan blue exclusion or CELLTITER-GLO® and the selectivity index calculated (Selectivity index=CC50/EC50). The low risk HPV tested was HPV-11, and the high-risk HPV tested was HPV-16 and HPV-18.

    • Example 22. Cytotoxicity Assay
  • Cytotoxicity Assays in HEK-293 cells. Cytotoxicity assays are performed in concurrently with every antiviral assay using the same cell line and media to ensure the same compound exposure. For the antiviral studies against HPV11 in HEK-293 cells, transfected cells are seeded in duplicate plates. Following a 2 h exposure, compound dilutions are prepared in both the antiviral plate and the duplicate cytotoxicity plate. At 48 h following compound addition, CELLTITER-GLO® (Promega) is added to each well and luminescence is determined on a luminometer. Concentrations of compounds sufficient to reduce cell viability by 50% are calculated from the experimental data (CC50 values).
  • Cytotoxicity Assays in Primary Human Foreskin Fibroblast Cells. Cytotoxicity was also evaluated in human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cells as they are a highly sensitive indicator of toxicity in a standard assay with 7 d of compound exposure. A total of 4000 cells/well are seeded in 384-well plates in cell culture media containing 2% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics. Following a 24 h incubation, 5-fold compound dilutions are performed in duplicate wells directly in the plates containing monolayers of HFF cells. At 7 d following compound addition, CellTiter-Glo reagent is added to each well and resulting luminescence is measured on a luminometer to assess the number of viable cells in each well. Data are then used to calculate CC50 values. The data is disclosed in Table 2 below.
