Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of U.S. provisional application No. 63/062,899, filed on Aug. 7, 2020, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

FIELD

Compounds, compositions, and methods useful for treating a viral infection, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, are disclosed.

BACKGROUND

Human immunodeficiency virus infection and related diseases are a major public health problem worldwide. Human immunodeficiency virus encodes three enzymes that are required for viral replication: reverse transcriptase, protease, and integrase. Drugs targeting reverse transcriptase are in wide use and have shown effectiveness, particularly when employed in combination with, for example, protease inhibitors and integrase inhibitors. No HIV cure is known, and accordingly, those affected by HIV can require life-long treatments. Improved treatments for HIV and other viral infections are desirable.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound of a hydroxy group include the anion of said compound in combination with a suitable cation such as Na⁺ and NX₄ ⁺ (wherein X is independently selected from H or a C_1-4alkyl group).
For therapeutic use, salts of active ingredients of the compounds disclosed herein will typically be pharmaceutically acceptable, i.e., they will be salts derived from a physiologically acceptable acid or base. However, salts of acids or bases which are not pharmaceutically acceptable may also find use, for example, in the preparation or purification of a compound of formula I or another compound of the embodiments disclosed herein. All salts, whether or not derived from a physiologically acceptable acid or base, are within the scope of the embodiments disclosed herein.
Metal salts typically are prepared by reacting the metal hydroxide with a compound according to the embodiments disclosed herein. Examples of metal salts which are prepared in this way are salts containing Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺. A less soluble metal salt can be precipitated from the solution of a more soluble salt by addition of the suitable metal compound.
In addition, salts may be formed from acid addition of certain organic and inorganic acids, e.g., HCl, HBr, H₂SO₄, H₃PO₄or organic sulfonic acids, to basic centers, typically amines. Finally, it is to be understood that the compositions herein comprise compounds disclosed herein in their un-ionized, as well as zwitterionic form.
“Prevention” or “preventing” means any treatment of a disease or condition that causes the clinical symptoms of the disease or condition not to develop. Compositions may, in some embodiments, be administered to a subject (including a human) who is at risk of having the disease or condition. As used herein, the terms “preventing” and “prevention” encompass the administration of a compound, composition, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt according to the embodiments disclosed herein pre- or post-exposure of the individual to HIV, or HBV, but before the appearance of symptoms of HIV infection, or HBV infection, and/or prior to the detection of the virus in the blood. The terms also refer to prevention of the appearance of symptoms of the disease and/or to prevent the virus from reaching detectible levels in the blood. The terms include both pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), as well as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and event driven or “on demand” prophylaxis. The terms also refer to prevention of perinatal transmission of HIV from mother to baby, by administration to the mother before giving birth and to the child within the first days of life. The terms also refer to prevention of transmission of HIV through blood transfusion.
“Spiro” or “spirocyclo” refers to a ring structure described herein which has two ring structures, each of which may be carbocyclic or heterocyclic, that are connected via a single, shared atom (which atom is denoted a spiro atom). Accordingly, “spirocyclo” refers to a spiro cycloalkyl radical, or a spiro heterocycloalkyl radical. “Dispiro” or dispirocyclo” refers to a ring structure described herein which has three ring structures, each of which may be carbocyclic or heterocyclic, that are connected via two spiro atoms.
A “stereoisomer” refers to a compound made up of the same atoms bonded by the same bonds but having different three-dimensional structures, which are not interchangeable. The present disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and includes “enantiomers”, which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superimposable mirror images of one another. In any of the embodiments disclosed herein, compounds disclosed herein may be in the form of a stereoisomer thereof.
As used herein, the term “subject” refers to an organism, typically a mammal (e.g., a human). In some embodiments, a human subject is an adult, adolescent, or pediatric subject. In some embodiments, a subject is suffering from a relevant disease or condition. In some embodiments, a subject is susceptible to a disease or condition. In some embodiments, a subject displays one or more symptoms or characteristics of a disease or condition. In some embodiments, a subject does not display any symptom or characteristic of a disease or condition. In some embodiments, a subject is someone with one or more features characteristic of susceptibility to or risk of a disease or condition. In some embodiments, a subject is a patient. In some embodiments, a subject is an individual to whom diagnosis and/or therapy and/or prophylaxis is and/or has been administered.
As used herein, “therapeutically effective amount” is an amount that produces the desired effect for which it is administered. In some embodiments, the term “therapeutically effective amount” or “therapeutically effective dose” means an amount that is sufficient, when administered to a population suffering from or susceptible to a disease or condition in accordance with a therapeutic dosing regimen, to treat the disease or condition. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is one that reduces the incidence and/or severity of, stabilizes one or more characteristics of, and/or delays onset of, one or more symptoms of the disease or condition. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the term “therapeutically effective amount” does not in fact require successful treatment be achieved in a particular individual. Rather, a therapeutically effective amount may be that amount that provides a particular desired pharmacological response in a significant number of subjects when administered to patients in need of such treatment. In some embodiments, reference to a therapeutically effective amount may be a reference to an amount as measured in one or more specific tissues (e.g., a tissue affected by the disease or condition) or fluids (e.g., blood, saliva, serum, sweat, tears, urine, etc.). Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that, in some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount may be formulated and/or administered in a single dose. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount may be formulated and/or administered in a plurality of doses, for example, as part of a dosing regimen.
“Treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results may include one or more of the following: a) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g., decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, and/or diminishing the extent of the disease or condition); b) slowing or arresting the development of one or more clinical symptoms associated with the disease or condition (e.g., stabilizing the disease or condition, preventing or delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition, and/or preventing or delaying the spread (e.g., metastasis) of the disease or condition); and/or c) relieving the disease, that is, causing the regression of clinical symptoms (e.g., ameliorating the disease state, providing partial or total remission of the disease or condition, enhancing effect of another medication, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival. As used herein, the terms “treatment” and “treating” encompass the administration of a compound, composition, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt according to the embodiments disclosed herein to alleviate or eliminate symptoms of HIV infection, or HBV infection, and/or to reduce viral load in a subject in need thereof. In some embodiments, a subject is a patient.
As used herein, “tricycloalkyl” refers to a hydrocarbon radical having the specified number carbon atoms and three rings, which rings may be bridged, fused, spirocyclo, or a combination thereof relative to one another. In certain embodiments, the tricycloalkyl has from ten to sixteen carbon atoms, or from nine to twelve carbon atoms, and is saturated and attached to the rest of the molecule by a single bond. For example, tricyclodecyl may be bridged tricyclodecyl, fused tricyclodecyl, dispirocyclo decyl, or mixed (e.g., bridged-fused) tricyclodecyl, respectively, as depicted below:
The embodiments disclosed herein are also meant to encompass all pharmaceutically acceptable compounds of formula I being isotopically labeled by having one or more atoms replaced by an atom having a different atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the disclosed compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, 35S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ¹²³I, and ¹²⁵I, respectively. In certain embodiments, these radiolabeled compounds are useful to help determine or measure the effectiveness of the compounds, by characterizing, for example, the site or mode of action, or binding affinity to pharmacologically important site of action. Certain isotopically labeled compounds of formula I, for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e., ³H, and carbon-14, i.e., ¹⁴C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.
In certain embodiments, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., ²H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability. For example, in vivo half-life may increase or dosage requirements may be reduced. Thus, heavier isotopes may be preferred in some circumstances.
Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O, and ¹³N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically labeled compounds of formula I can be prepared by techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.
The methods, compositions, kits and articles of manufacture provided herein use or include compounds (e.g., a compound of formula I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in which from 1 to n hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon atom may be replaced by a deuterium atom or D, in which n is the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule. As known in the art, the deuterium atom is a non-radioactive isotope of the hydrogen atom. Such compounds increase resistance to metabolism, and thus are useful for increasing the half-life of compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, when administered to a mammal. See, e.g., Allen B. Foster, Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism, 5 Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 524, 524-27 (1984). Such compounds can be synthesized by means known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by deuterium.
The embodiments disclosed herein are also meant to encompass the in vivo metabolic products of the disclosed compounds. Such products may result from, for example, the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, and the like of the administered compound, primarily due to enzymatic processes. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed herein include compounds produced by a process comprising administering a compound according to the embodiments disclosed herein to a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof. Such products are typically identified by administering a radiolabeled compound according to the embodiments disclosed herein in a detectable dose to an animal, such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to human, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur, and isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood or other biological samples.
The compounds of the embodiments disclosed herein, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids. The present disclosure is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic, scalemic, and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (−), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using methods such as chromatography and fractional crystallization. Techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

It is understood that any embodiment of the compounds of any one of formulas I, II, III, IV, and V, as set forth above, and any specific group or substituent set forth herein (e.g., R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, and substituents thereof) in the compounds of formulas I, II, III, IV, and V as set forth above, may be independently combined with other embodiments and/or substituents of compounds of any one of formulas I, II, III, IV, and V, to form embodiments not specifically set forth above. In addition, in the event that a list of substituents are not listed for any particular R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁷, and R⁸group in a particular embodiment and/or claim, it is understood that each individual substituent may be deleted from the particular embodiment and/or claim and that the remaining list of substituents will be considered to be within the scope of the embodiments disclosed herein.
The compounds of formulas I, II, III, IV, and V, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are prodrugs, with the promoiety being cleaved rapidly in intracellular environments to yield tenofovir (TFV). In some embodiments, the compounds of formulas I, II, III, IV, and V, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are suitable for use in long-acting formulations. For certain patients, for example, those with difficult or limited access to health care, adherence to daily oral treatment or prophylactic regimens to treat or prevent viral infections (e.g., HIV infection) can be challenging. Drugs that offer favorable pharmaceutical or physicochemical properties for slow release (for example, improved potency, long acting pharmacokinetics, reduced solubility, enhanced plasma stability, and/or other properties) can be amenable to less frequent administration and can provide for better patient compliance. Such improvements can, in turn, optimize drug exposure and limit the emergence of drug resistance.
Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the low solubility of the compounds of formulas I, II, III, IV, and V, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can result in slow release of the compounds after intramuscular or subcutaneous administration and sustained intracellular levels of the pharmacologically active agent, tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP), making them capable of maintaining the therapeutically effective concentration of TFV-DP in relevant cell types for an extended period of time and useful as durable or long acting agents to treat or prevent viral infection. The development of poorly soluble prodrugs for safe and effective long acting injectable formulations is discussed in Remenar, Mol. Pharmaceutics 2014, 11, 1739-1749.

Kinetic Solubility from Compound DMSO Stocks: 100-fold dilutions of each compound DMSO stock solution were prepared in singleton by combining 3 μL of DMSO stock with 297 μL of the appropriate medium in a Millipore solubility filter plate with a 0.45 μM polycarbonate filter membrane using Hamilton STARlet liquid handling. The final DMSO concentration was 1.0% (v/v) and maximum theoretical compound concentration is 100 μM (for compound stock concentration of 10 mM). The filter plate was sealed. Following 24-hour incubation at ambient temperature (24.2-27.5° C.), the samples were vacuum filtered and the filtrates were collected in a 96 well polypropylene plate for analysis. The collection plate was sealed for analysis. Filtrates were injected into the Antek 8060 chemiluminescent nitrogen detector for quantification. The results are reported in μM.
Calculation of Results: The equimolar nitrogen response of the detector was calibrated using standards which spanned the dynamic range of the instrument from 0.08 to 4500 g/mL nitrogen. The filtrates were quantified with respect to this calibration curve. Each calculated solubility value was corrected for background nitrogen present in the DMSO and in the medium used to prepare the sample. All reported values for compounds containing adjacent nitrogen atoms in a ring structure were increased by approximately 25%.

Example 109: TFV-DP Formation in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs)

Compounds were tested in a 96-well assay format for the level of TFV-DP loading in PBMCs in the presence of human serum. PBMCs were activated with 100 units/mL recombinant human TL-2 and 2 pg/mL phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) for 36 hrs. After activation, PBMCs (2 million) were incubated with compounds (1 μM) and cell culture media with 50% serum in a 96 well plate for 2 hrs at 37° C. Cells were transferred to a 96 well deep block plate and spun down. Liquid was removed, and cells were washed 2× with 1 mL of 0.9% saline with spin downs between washes. After a final wash and liquid removal, 500 μL of MeOH+200 nM C1-ATP+200 nM [adenine-¹³Cs]-tenofovir diphosphate (tetra ammonium salt) was added and thoroughly mixed with the cells. The plate was then spun down and 450 μL of sample was transferred to a new 96 well plate. Supernatants were then evaporated, reconstituted in 80 μl of 1 mM ammonium phosphate and thoroughly vortexed. Blank samples were pooled for serial dilution to construct calibration standards for TFV, TFV-DP and TFV-TP in pmol/million cells. Samples were then transferred to a short-well 96 well plate, centrifuged and injected on an LC-MS/MS for quantification. Values were reported in μM units using an intracellular volume of 0.2 μL/cell.

Example 110: TFV-DP Formation in Primary Human Hepatocytes (PHHs)

Compounds were tested in a 24-well assay format for the level of TFV-DP formation in PHHs. Cells were seeded (4.0×10⁵cells/well) in collagen coated plates and incubated at 37° C. After 4-6 hours the liquid was removed, 500 μl of new media (2% FBS, 1.5% DMSO) was added, and the cells were incubated at 37° C. overnight. The media is then replaced (2% FBS, 1.0% DMSO), compounds (1 μM) were added and the cells were incubated at 37° C. in the presence of compounds for 1 hour. Media was then removed and cells were washed 2× with 500 μl of 0.9% saline. After a final wash and liquid removal, 500 μL of MeOH+200 nM C1-ATP+200 nM [adenine-¹³C5]-tenofovir diphosphate (tetra ammonium salt) was added and cells were incubated at −80° C. for 30 minutes. The cells were kept on water ice while the MeOH/standard supernatant is pipetted up and down several times and then transferred to a 96 deep-well plate. Supernatants were then evaporated, samples were reconstituted in 80 μl of 1 mM ammonium phosphate and then thoroughly vortexed. Blank samples were pooled for serial dilution to construct calibration standards for TFV, TFV-DP and TFV-TP in pmol/million cells. Samples are then transferred to a short-well 96 well plate, centrifuged and injected on an LC-MS/MS for quantification. Values were reported in μM units using an intracellular volume of 3 μL/cell.
