Description

ANTIVIRAL COMPOUNDS
AND ANTIHYPERTENSIVE COMPOUNDS
BACKGROUND
This invention relates to compounds having antiviral activity and to compounds having antihypertensive activity, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and methods of treatment utilizing the compositions. In particular, this invention is related to compounds having antiviral activity against viruses of the herpes group, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, and methods of treating infections with viruses of the herpes group using the pharmaceutical compositions.
There are four separate viruses of the herpes group which infect and cause disease in humans. These are (1) herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively); (2) cytomegalovirus (CMV); (3) varicellazoster virus (VZ); and (4) Epstein-Barr virus (EB). Examples of diseases associated with herpes simplex virus infection include herpes labialis, genital herpes (herpes progenitalis), neonatal herpes, herpetic keratitis, eczema herpeticum, disseminated herpes, occupational herpes, herpetic
gingivostomatitis, meningitis (aseptic), and encephalitis.
CMV is widespread in humans and numerous other mammals. The great majority of human CMV infections are subclinical; that is, the primary infection occurs with no signs or symptoms. An exception to this is a congenital infection which occasionally gives rise to cytomegalic inclusion body disease in infants. There is also a mononucleosis-like syndrome caused by the virus. The great majority of serious cases due to CMV infection come from recurring infections in immuno-compromised patients, such as transplant patients and cancer patients. It has been estimated that silent CMV
infections have occurred in a majority of humans by the time adulthood is reached.
VZ virus is associated with chicken-pox (varicella) and shingles
(zoster) in humans.
EB virus is quite common and causes glandular fever; it is also believed to be responsible for genetic damage that leads to Burkitt's lymphoma.
Examples of drugs used to treat herpes infections include: (1 ) IUDR (5'-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine); (2) Ara-C (1-[beta-D-arabinofuranosyl]-cytosine); (3) Ara-A (9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine); and (4) Acyclovir (9-[(2- hydroxyethoxy)methyl]guanine). Also Haines et al. (U.S. P. 4,757,088 issued July 12,1988) disclose that lidocaine (2-(diethylamino)-N-(2,6- dimethylphenyl)acetamide) is an antiviral agent in cell culture against HSV-1 and HSV-2, and is able to treat herpes virus infections of mammals. Haines et al. also disclose that lidocaine is particularly effective in the treatment of HSV oral and genital lesions in humans. According to Haines et al., the addition of pantothenic acid or its alcohol and salt forms, dexpanthenoi and pantothenate respectively, to lidocaine or lidocaine hydrochioride
significantly enhances the antiviral activity of those drugs.
Human hypertension is a disease of multiple etiologies. Drugs that act to control one form may not be effective in controlling another. Therefore, further drugs that can be useful in treating hypertension are desirable.
In view of current interest in the art for finding useful antihypertensive and useful antiviral agents, in particular, useful agents against herpes group viruses, any new compounds exhibiting antihypertensive activity or antiviral activity would be a welcome contribution to the art. This invention provides such a contribution.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention provides compounds which are useful as antiviral agents against DNA-containing viruses such as herpes group viruses. In particular, the compounds of this invention are useful against HSV-1 and HSV-2 and may also prove useful against CMV and EB.
The compounds of this invention are advantageous over known compounds because they inhibit early events in the viral replication.
One embodiment of this invention provides antiviral compounds of Formula

The compounds of this invention may be administered by any conventional mode of administration by employing an effective antiviral amount of a compound of this invention for such mode. The dosages may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient in the judgment of the attending clinician, the severity of the condition being treated and the particular compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Treatment can be initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the
compound. Thereafter, the dosage should be increased by small amounts until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For
convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired.
Thus, depending on the mode, dosages of from about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day may be administered to provide antiviral activity. For example, when administered orally doses of from about 20 to about 60 mg/kg of body weight may be used; and when administered parenterally, e.g., intravenously, dosages of from about 5 to aoout 20 mg/kg body weight may be used. When administered topically, the amount of compound administered varies widely with the amount of skin being treated, as well as with the concentration of active ingredient applied to the affected area. Preferably, topical compositions contain from about 0.10 to about 10 percent by weight of the active ingredient and are applied as needed according to the judgment of the attending clinician. When administered rectally, the compounds of this invention may be administered in daily doses rangling from about 0.1 mg/kg to abut 100mg/kg of body weight.
The dosage to be administered and the route of administration depends upon the particular compound used, the age and general health of the patient and the severity of the viral condition. Thus, the dose ultimately decided upon must be left to the judgment of a trained health-care
practitioner.

BIOLOGICAL DATA
Cell and Virus Culture
HeLa and Vero cell cultures were maintained in Eagles Minimal Essential Medium (EMEM) which was supplemented with glutamine, penicillin, streptomycin and 10% fetal calf serum (10% EMEM). Stock cultures of HSV-2 (strain MS available from ATCC VR-540) were grown in and harvested from Vero cells. Viral stocks were titered in Vero cells according to established procedures. Plasmid Constructions
Piasmid pON 245ori - contains the promoter of the HSV-1 thymidine kinase (tk) gene located immediately 5' of the E. coli lac Z gene. In this arrangement, the tk promoter controls transcription from the bacterial gene in transient expression assays. Additionally, an SV40 polyadenylation signal is present at the 3' end of the lac Z gene to allow for the efficient translation of the mRNA in eucaryotic cells. The expression of beta galactosidase in a transient assay using pON 245ori- is dependent upon superinfection of the transfected cells with HSV. Therefore, a compound which interferes with early steps of HSV replication will also inhibit beta-gaiactosidase production in transfected cells. For example see U.S. Application Serial No. 07/435,491 filed September 5, 1989, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto. Transient Expression of Beta Galactosidase in Transfected Cells
HeLa cells were seeded into 98 well microtiter plates and allowed to grow to 80% confluency (approximately 35000 cells/well). One half microgram of plasmid pON 245ori- DNA was introduced into the cells of each well by the DEAE Dextran precipitation technique (Grahman and Van der Eb, 1973). Four to six hours later, the cells were rinsed with hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), overlaid with 10% EMEM and incubated at 37°C. At 24 hours post-transfection, cells were rinsed, overlaid with 10% EMEM again and re-incubated at 37°C. At 48 hours post-transfection, cells were rinsed and overlaid with either EMEM containing 2% fetal calf serum (2% EMEM), 2% EMEM containing HSV-2 (strain MS, Multiplicity of Infection [moi] = 5 pfu/cell) or 2% EMEM containing HSV-2 and the appropriate concentration of Schering compound to be tested. Twenty-four hours later, the cells were harvested and assayed for beta galactosidase activity as described below. Beta Galactosidase Assay
All determinations of beta galactosidase activity were performed in 96 well microtiter plates. The intracellular level of beta galactosidase activity in each well was determined from cell lysates of the monolayer cultures.
Aliquots were assayed by incubation in the presence of beta galactosidase substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-galactoside (MUG, 125 ug/ml, Sigma), for 2 hours. The generation of fluorescent product was quantified on a Microfluor microfluorimeter (Dynatech) after addition of 0.1 M glycine, pH 10.3 (Spaete and Mocarski, 1985). The inhibitory activity of a compound was plotted versus the concentration and an IC50 value (the concentration of compound required to reduce beta glactosidase expression by 50%) was obtained for each compound tested.
Compound Toxicity Assay
Compounds which demonstrated a significant inhibitory activity in the HeLa cell beta galactosidase assay were assayed for their inhibitory effect on HeLa cell translation. HeLa cells were treated with inhibitory compound for 24 hours, after which levels of translational activity were assayed.
For assay of translational activity, HeLa cultures were grown to 80% confluency in 96 well microtiter plates, treated with appropriate
concentrations of compound in 2% EMEM during an overnight incubation at 37°C, then rinsed with HBSS and overlaid with 0.8 ml of 2% EMEM containing 8 uCi of tritiated leucine (3H-LEU, 141 Cu/mMol, Amersham
Corp., Arlington Heights, IL). After a 1 hour incubation at 36.5°C, the cells were rinsed twice with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and lysed in 400 ul/well of 1 x PBS, 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). After a 10 min incubation at 36.5°C, the contents of the well were transferred to a well in a Millititer HA microfiltration plate (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA). The TCA insoluble proteins were precipitated onto the filter disc by a 10 min fixation with 5% TCA, followed by filtration under vacuum and three 10 minute rinses with 95% ethanol. The filters were dried at room temperature, cut from the milititier plate and transferred to scintillation vials. TCA precipitable counts were assayed in 5 ml of Scintisol (Isolab, Akron, OH). The inhibitory activity of a compound was plotted versus the concentration and an IC50 value (that concentration of the compound required to decrease cellular translational activity by 50%) was derived for each compound. Analysis of In Vivo Efficacy
The in vivo assessment of anti-HSV efficacy was determined in the prophylactic guinea pig model of HSV infection described by Stansberry et al (1982). Dosing of guinea pigs comprised an initial treatment with test compound given 24 hours prior to virus infection and subsequent
administration of the compound every eight hours (T.I.D.) for a total of 10 days. Test compounds were administered subcutaneously in 0.5% buffered methyl celluslose at a dose of 60 mg per kg body weight of the animal.
Animals were monitored daily for the development of genital lesions and neurological symptomology, both of which were recorded and compared to the results obtained with parallel groups which received placebo or acyclovir treatment. Efficacy was evaluated for each compound by scoring the ability of the compound to ameliorate genital lesions produced by infection with HSV-2, strain MS, expressed as Maximum Lesion Scores (MLS) on a scale of 1 (least lesions) to 4 (severe lesions).

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE ACTIVITY
I. SHR Analysis
The ability of the compounds to lower blood pressure can be assessed in vivo in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). SHR males are purchased from Taconic Farms, Germantown, New York and are approximately 16-18 weeks old when anesthetized with ether. The caudal (ventral tail) artery is cannulated with polyethylene tubing (PE50) and blood pressure and heart rate are recorded as described by Baum, T. et. al. J. Cardiovasc. Pharmacol. Vol 5, pp. 665-667, (1983). Rats are placed into pastic cylindrical cages where they rapidly recover consciousness. Blood pressure and heart rate are allowed to stabilize for aporoximately 90 minutes prior to compound administration. Compounds are administered orally as solutions or suspensions in 0.4% aqueous methylcellulose vehicle via a feeding needle. The compound or 0.4% aqueous methylcellulose vehicle are given in a volume of 4 ml/kg to SHRs that had been fasted overnight.
Alternatively, compounds are administered intravenously. The compound is solubilized with a minimum amount of an organic solvent such as ethanol or dimethylsulfoxide and given in physiological saline. Activity is expressed as the fall in mean blood pressure (MBP) in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Compound-induced changes are compared with the changes in an
appropriate placebo group.
The SHR results are set forth in Table V.
Figure imgf000050_0001
II. Phosphodiesterase inhibition in vitro
Phosphodiesterase enzymes are known to hydrolyze cGMP in smooth muscle. High levels of cGMP are associated with the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, with a consequent subsequent reduction in blood pressure. Thus, it is believed that by inhibiting these phosphodiesterase enzymes, cGMP levels in muscle will be either maintained or increased with a subsequent reduction in blood pressure.
Compounds are evaluated for inhibition of a phosphodiesterase enzyme which hydrolyzes cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). The enzyme, cGMP phosphodiesterase (cGMP-PDE), is a homogeneous enzyme obtained from bovine lung and purified by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and sucrose gradient centrifugation. cGMP-PDE is highly selective for cGMP. Bovine aorta homogenates and primary cultures of bovine aortic endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells contain an enzyme with properties very similar to the lung isozyme.
The enzyme assay is performed using a Biomek Automated Pipetting Station. Compounds are dissolved in distilled water or DMSO and diluted with 10% DMSO. Compounds are tested at several concentrations at log intervals, typically 0.1 ,1.0,10, and 100 μM final concentration.
Assays contain the following components:
1 μM substrate 3H-cGMP
50 mM Tris-HCI, pH 7.5, 5 mM magnesium chloride (MgCI2)
0.5 mg/ml snake venom alkaline phosphatase
Assays are initiated by addition of enzyme and stopped by addition of 10 mM isobutylmethylxanthine, a general phosphodiesterase inhibitor.
Assays are performed for 25 minutes at room temperture to achieve 5-10% hydrolysis of substrate. The negatively charged substrates are then separated from guanosine by binding to an anion-exchange resin (AGI-X8) and centrifugation or filtration, and the product is quantitated by scintillation counting in counts.
% lnhibition= 100-[(cpm compound-blank)/(cpm control-blank)X100] Activity is expressed as the IC50 value, i.e., the concentration required to inhibit activity of the enzyme by 50 per cent. The cGMP-PDE IC50 results are set forth in Table VI.
