Definitions
- This invention provides for the use of a lipid or phospholipid moiety bound to a physiologically acceptable monomer, dimer, oligomer, or polymer in suppressing, inhibiting, preventing, or treating influenza, poxvirus, or a combination thereof in a subject.
- Lipid-conjugates are thought to inhibit the enzyme phospholipase A2 (PLA2, EC 3.1.1.4). Phospholipase A2 catalyzes the breakdown of phospholipids at the sn-2 position to produce a fatty acid and a lysophospholipid. The activity of this enzyme has been correlated with various cell functions, particularly with the production of lipid mediators such as eicosanoid production (prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes), platelet activating factor and lysophospholipids. Lipid-conjugates may offer a wider scope of protection of cells and organisms from injurious agents and pathogenic processes, including the prevention and treatment of microbial infections.
- Microbial infections e.g., infections by viral or bacterial species
- significant resources have been dedicated to identifying compounds having antimicrobial properties, microbial infections continue to present a significant human health risk.
- the invention provides a method of suppressing, inhibiting, preventing, or treating infection with an influenza virus in a subject, comprising the step of contacting the cell with a compound comprising a lipid or phospholipid moiety bound to a physiologically acceptable monomer, dimer, oligomer, or polymer, and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a pharmaceutical product thereof.
- the invention provides a method of suppressing, inhibiting, preventing, or treating a poxvirus infection in a subject, comprising the step of administering an effective amount of a lipid or phospholipid moiety bound to a physiologically acceptable monomer, dimer, oligomer, or polymer, and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a pharmaceutical product thereof to an infected subject.
- the invention provides a method of suppressing, inhibiting, preventing, or treating a pathogenic effect on a cell, comprising the step of contacting the cell with a compound comprising a lipid or phospholipid moiety bound to a physiologically acceptable monomer, dimer, oligomer, or polymer, and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a pharmaceutical product thereof.
- the compounds for use in the present invention are referred to herein as "Lipid-conjugates”.
- "suppressing, inhibiting, preventing, or treating” refers to delaying the onset of symptoms, reducing the severity of symptoms, reducing the severity of an acute episode, reducing the number of symptoms, reducing the incidence of disease-related symptoms, reducing the latency of symptoms, preventing the development of a latent infection, ameliorating symptoms, reducing secondary symptoms, reducing secondary infections, prolonging patient survival, preventing relapse to a disease, decreasing the number or frequency of relapse episodes, increasing latency between symptomatic episodes, increasing time to sustained progression, expediting remission, inducing remission, augmenting remission, speeding recovery, or increasing efficacy of or decreasing resistance to alternative therapeutics.
- symptoms are primary, while in another embodiment, symptoms are secondary.
- primary refers to a symptom that is a direct result of infection with a pathogen
- secondary refers to a symptom that is derived from or consequent to a primary cause.
- symptoms may be any manifestation of a disease or pathological condition, comprising inflammation, swelling, fever, pain, bleeding, itching, runny nose, coughing, headache, migraine, difficulty breathing, weakness, fatigue, drowsiness, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, numbness, dizziness, blurry vision, muscle twitches, convulsions, etc., or a combination thereof.
- treating refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or lessen the targeted pathologic condition or disorder as described hereinabove.
- treating may include suppressing, inhibiting, preventing, treating, or a combination thereof.
- a pathogenic effect is apoptosis, necrosis, membrane blebbing/protrusion, cell death, permeabilized cell membrane, cell enlargement, dilated organelles, ribosome dissociation from endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear disintegration, chromatin condensation, pyknotic or fragmented nuclei, leakage of cellular contents, tissue, inflammation, expression of apoptosis-specific proteins, cell shrinkage, formation of apoptotic bodies, expression of pathogen antigens, granularity, ragged edges, filmy appearance, cell rounding or a combination thereof.

- the Lipid-conjugates are effective in the prophylaxis and treatment of viral infection, particularly infections due to human influenza virus and vaccinia virus. This is demonstrated for human influenza virus in Experiment 1.1-1.2, and for vaccinia in Experiment 1.3 below.
- Viral infection is the cause of a number of human and animal diseases throughout the world.
- the process of viral infection comprises several stages, including attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, maturation, release and reinfection.
- human cell lines were incubated with a preparation of a viral agent, and the ability of the virus to infect cells is compared in the presence and absence of Lipid-conjugate.
- Kidney cell lines were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The cells were grown in minimal essential medium (Gibco-BRL, Gaithersburg, Md.) supplemented with 0.1% NaHCO 3 and 5 to 9% fetal bovine serum (Hy Clone Laboratories, Logan, Utah). When performing antiviral assays, serum was reduced to 2% and 50 ⁇ g gentamicin (Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO) per ml was added to the medium
- Viruses Influenza type A Strain HlNl, Influenza type A Strain H3N2, Influenza type B, Pichinde virus, Punta Toro virus, and Respiratory syncytial virus
- MOI multiplicity of infection
- the MOIs used were virus dependent and chosen for each strain such that 100% of the cells in the virus controls showed cytopathic effects (CPE) within 5 to 7 days.
- Cell were grown to an 18 h monolayer (80-100% confluent) in 96-well tissue culture plates and were incubated with various concentrations of each compound as described above. Within 5 minutes of compound incubation, a volume of virus equal to that of the compound was added to the cells. The plates were then sealed and incubated at 37°C for approximately 72 to 120 hr until the cells in the virus control wells showed complete viral CPE as observed by light microscopy.
- NR neutral red
- a Neutral Red Dye Uptake assay was performed as described previously (McManus, NH, Appl. Environment. Microbiol. 31:35-38, 1976) to verify the inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity that was observed in the CPE inhibition assay. Briefly, medium was removed from each well of a plate scored for CPE from a CPE inhibition assay, 0.034% NR in S ⁇ renson's citrate buffer (pH 4.0) was added to each well of the plate and the plate incubated for 2 h at 37°C in the dark. The NR solution was removed from the wells.
- each test compound's antiviral activity was expressed as a selectivity index (SI), which is the IC 50 divided by the EC 50 .
- SI selectivity index
- an SI of 10 or greater is indicative of positive antiviral activity, although other factors, such as a low SI for the positive control, are also taken into consideration.
- Tables 1.2 and 1.3 demonstrate the capacity of the Lipid-conjugates evaluated at low concentration to prevent infection of target cells by influenza virus.

Description
USE OF LIPID CONJUGATES IN THE TREATMENT OF INFECTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] This invention provides for the use of a lipid or phospholipid moiety bound to a physiologically acceptable monomer, dimer, oligomer, or polymer in suppressing, inhibiting, preventing, or treating influenza, poxvirus, or a combination thereof in a subject.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Lipid-conjugates are thought to inhibit the enzyme phospholipase A2 (PLA2, EC 3.1.1.4). Phospholipase A2 catalyzes the breakdown of phospholipids at the sn-2 position to produce a fatty acid and a lysophospholipid. The activity of this enzyme has been correlated with various cell functions, particularly with the production of lipid mediators such as eicosanoid production (prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes), platelet activating factor and lysophospholipids. Lipid-conjugates may offer a wider scope of protection of cells and organisms from injurious agents and pathogenic processes, including the prevention and treatment of microbial infections.
[003] Microbial infections (e.g., infections by viral or bacterial species) account for significant morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Although significant resources have been dedicated to identifying compounds having antimicrobial properties, microbial infections continue to present a significant human health risk.
[004] There are relatively few effective pharmaceutical compositions intended or adapted for antiviral, antifungal, or antiparasitic therapy. A major obstacle in the development of antiviral agents is the difficulty in distinguishing viral replicative mechanisms from host replicative processes. An additional limitation of existing antiviral drugs is that they have a narrow antiviral spectrum and are often ineffective against the latent virus.
[005] There are a much larger number of existing antibacterial agents, which has led to a significant decrease in morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases in this century.
This important public health contribution has been largely due to the widespread use of
antibiotics that target specific nutrient, cell wall, DNA5 RNA and protein biosynthetic pathways that are particular to pathogenic bacteria. However, in recent years the capacity to manage infectious diseases has been threatened by the emergence of bacterial strains that are no longer susceptible to currently available antimicrobial agents. The widespread use of available antibacterial agents has led to the development of increasing numbers of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
[006] In fact, the usefulness of most existing antimicrobial treatments are limited by the development of multidrug resistance and the emergence of long-term toxicities. Other challenges include creating a drug that is broadly applicable in combating many different types of microbial infections, which is especially important in the treatment of immunocompromised individuals .

[008] In another embodiment, the invention provides a method of suppressing, inhibiting, preventing, or treating a poxvirus infection in a subject, comprising the step of administering an effective amount of a lipid or phospholipid moiety bound to a physiologically acceptable monomer, dimer, oligomer, or polymer, and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a pharmaceutical product thereof to an infected subject.

[0088] Thus, in one embodiment, the invention provides a treatment method that utilizes a lipid or phospholipid moiety bound to a physiologically acceptable monomer, dimer, oligomer, or polymer. These Lipid-conjugates display a wide-range combination of cytoprotective pharmacological activities. These compounds may in some embodiments, interfere with bacterial and viral spread and signs of infection, alleviate airway obstruction, attenuate oxidative damage to tissue proteins and cell membranes, reduce intracellular levels of chemokines and cytokines after exposure to bacterial endotoxins, and protect CNS cells by reducing release of neurotoxic agents.
[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, the useful pharmacological properties of the Lipid-conjugates, some of which are described hereinabove, may be applied for clinical use, and disclosed herein as methods for the prevention or treatment of a disease. The biological basis of these methods may be readily demonstrated by standard cellular and animal models of disease, for example, as described in Example 1, hereinbelow.
[0090] In one embodiment, the pharmacological activities of Lipid-conjugates, including membrane stabilization, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant action, and attenuation of chemokine levels, may contribute to a Lipid-conjugate-treated cell's resistance to pathogenic infection, such as influenza, vaccinia, smallpox, poxvirus, and chordopoxvirinae infection.

[0092] In one embodiment, the methods of the present invention include a composition comprising the compounds as described and may be formulated for administration by topical, oral, nasal, aerosol, intravenous, intraocular, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, or suppository routes as will be described hereinbelow.
[0093] In one embodiment of the invention, the Lipid-conjugates described herein can be used to treat disease, through amelioration, or prevention, of tissue injury arising in the course of pathological disease states by stabilizing cell membranes; limiting oxidative damage to cell and blood components; or attenuating physiological reactions to stress, as expressed in elevated chemokine levels.
[0094] The medicinal properties of the compounds for use in the present invention are readily exemplified using animal models of particular diseases of interest. The patients to whom the lipid or phospholipid conjugates should be administered are those that are experiencing symptoms of disease or who are at risk of contracting the disease or experiencing a recurrent episode or exacerbation of the disease. Thus, the lipid or phospholipid conjugates of the present invention may be used to treat an individual with a disease or disorder or to prevent an individual from contracting a disease or developing a disorder.

In one embodiment, the Lipid-conjugates of this invention possess a combination of multiple and potent pharmacological effects in addition to the ability to inhibit the extracellular form of the enzyme phospholipase A2. While the pharmacological activity of the Lipid- conjugates described herein may be due in part to the nature of the lipid moiety, the
multiple and diverse combination of pharmacological properties observed for the Lipid- conjugates emerges from the ability of the compound structure to act essentially as several different drugs in one chemical entity.
[0096] In the cases described herein, the diversity of biological activities and the effectiveness in disease exhibited by the compounds for use in the present invention far exceed the properties anticipated by use of the starting materials themselves, when administered alone or in combination. However, the phospholipid conjugate compounds, alone or in combination, are valuable when used in the methods of treating diseases and conditions specifically described herein.
[0097] In one embodiment, methods of the present invention involve treating a subject by inter alia controlling the expression, production, and activity of phospholipases such as PLA2; controlling the production and/or action of lipid mediators, such as eicosanoids, platelet activating factor (PAF) and lyso-phospholipids; amelioration of damage to cell surface glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and proteoglycans; controlling the production of oxidants, oxygen radicals and nitric oxide; protection of cells, tissues, and plasma lipoproteins from damaging agents, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and phospholipases; controlling the expression, production, and activity of cytokines, chemokines and interleukins; anti-oxidant therapy; anti-endotoxin therapy or any combination thereof.

[00124]In one embodiment, the set of compounds comprising phosphatidylethanolamine covalently bound to a physiologically acceptable monomer or polymer, is referred to herein-as the PE-conjugates. In another embodiment, related derivatives, in which either phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidic acid or phosphatidylglycerol are employed in lieu of phosphatidylethanolamine as the lipid moiety provide equivalent therapeutic results, based upon the biological experiments described below for the Lipid-conjugates and the structural similarities shared by these compounds.

[00126]Other Lipid-conjugate derivatives relevant to this invention are Lipid-conjugates wherein at least one of the fatty acid groups of the lipid moieties at position Cl or C2 of the glycerol backbone are substituted by a long chain alkyl group attached by either ether or alkyl bonds, rather than ester linkages.
[00127]As defined by the structural formulae provided herein for the Lipid-conjugates, these compounds may contain between one to one thousand lipid moieties bound to a single physiologically acceptable polymer molecule.
[00128] In the methods, according to embodiments of the invention, the Lipid-conjugates administered to the subject are comprised from at least one lipid moiety covalently bound through an atom of the polar head group to a monomeric or polymeric moiety (referred to
herein as the conjugated moiety) of either low or high molecular weight. When desired, an optional bridging moiety can be used to link the Lipid-conjugates moiety to the monomer or polymeric moiety. The conjugated moiety may be a low molecular weight carboxylic acid, dicarboxylic acid, fatty acid, dicarboxylic fatty acid, acetyl salicylic acid, cholic acid, cholesterylhemisuccinate, or mono- or di-saccharide, an amino acid or dipeptide, an oligopeptide, a glycoprotein mixture, a di- or trisaccharide monomer unit of a glycosaminoglycan such as a repeating unit of heparin, heparan sulfate, hyaluronic, acid, chondroitin-sulfate, dermatan, keratan sulfate, or a higher molecular weight peptide or oligopeptide, a polysaccharide, a hetero-polysaccharide, a homo-polysaccharide, a polypyranose, polyglycan, protein, glycosaminoglycan, or a glycoprotein mixture. The composition of phospholipid-conjugates of high molecular weight, and associated analogues, are the subject of US 5,064,817.
[00129] In one embodiment of the invention, when the conjugated carrier moiety is a polymer, the ratio of lipid moieties covalently bound may range from one to one thousand lipid residues per polymer molecule, depending upon the nature of the polymer and the reaction conditions employed. For example, the relative quantities of the starting materials, or the extent of the reaction time, may be modified in order to obtain Lipid- conjugate products with either high or low ratios of lipid residues per polymer, as desired.
[0013O]In one embodiment, the term "moiety" means a chemical entity otherwise corresponding to a chemical compound, which has a valence satisfied by a covalent bond.
[0013I]In one embodiment, examples of polymers which can be employed as the conjugated moiety for producing Lipid-conjugates for use in the methods of this invention may be physiologically acceptable polymers, including water-dispersible or - soluble polymers of various molecular weights and diverse chemical types, mainly natural and synthetic polymers, such as glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acids, heparin, heparin sulfates, chondroitin sulfates, chondroitin-6-sulfates, chondroitin-4-sulfates, keratins, keratin sulfates, dermatins, dermatan sulfates, dextrans, plasma expanders, including polygeline ("Haemaccel", degraded gelatin polypeptide cross-linked via urea
bridges, produced by "Behring"), "hydroxyethylstarch" (Hetastarch, HES) and extrans, food and drug additives, soluble cellulose derivatives (e.g., methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose), polyaminoacids, hydrocarbon polymers (e.g., polyethylene), polystyrenes, polyesters, polyamides, polyethylene oxides (e.g. polyethyleneglycols, polycarboxyethyleneglycols, polycarboxylated polyethyleneglycols), polyvinnylpyrrolidones, polysaccharides, hetero-polysaccharides, homo-polysaccharides, polypyranoses, alginates, assimilable gums (e.g., xanthan gum), peptides, injectable blood proteins (e.g., serum albumin), cyclodextrin, and derivatives thereof.
[00132]In one embodiment, examples of monomers, dimers, and oligomers which can be employed as the conjugated moiety for producing Lipid-conjugates for use in the methods of the invention may be mono- or disaccharides, trisaccharides, oligopeptides, carboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acids, fatty acids, dicarboxylic fatty acids, salicylates, slicyclic acids, acetyl salicylic acids, aspirins, lactobionic acids, maltoses, amino acids, glycines, glutaric acids, succinic acids, dodecanoic acids, didodecanoic acids, bile acids, cholic acids, cholesterylhemisuccinates, and di- and trisaccharide unit monomers of glycosaminoglycans including heparins, heparan sulfates, hyaluronic acids, chondroitins, chondroitin sulfates, chondroitin-6-sulfates, chondroitin-4-sulfates, dermatins, dermatan sulfates, keratins, keratan sulfates, or dextrans.
[00133]In some cases, according to embodiments of the invention, the monomer or polymer chosen for preparation of the Lipid-conjugate may in itself have select biological properties. For example, both heparin and hyaluronic acid are materials with known physiological functions. In the present invention, however, the Lipid-conjugates formed from these substances as starting materials display a new and wider set of pharmaceutical activities than would be predicted from administration of either heparin or hyaluronic acid which have not been bound by covalent linkage to a phospholipid. It can be shown, by standard comparative experiments as described below, that phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) linked to hyaluronic acid (Compound XXII), to heparin (Compound XXIV), to chondroitin sulfate A (Compound XXV), to carboxymethylcellulose (Compound XXVI), to Polygeline (haemaccel) (Compound XXVII), or to hydroxyethylstarch (Compound XXVIII), are far superior in terms of potency and range of useful pharmaceutical activity
to the free conjugates (the polymers above and the like). In fact, these latter substances are, in general, not considered useful in methods for treatment of most of the diseases described herein, including the treatment of pathogenic infections. Thus, the combination of a phospholipid such as phosphatidylethanolamine, or related phospholipids which differ with regard to the polar head group, such as phosphatidylserine (PS)5 phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and phosphatidylglycerol (PG), results in the formation of a compound which has novel pharmacological properties when compared to the starting materials alone.
[00134]The biologically active Lipid-conjugates described herein can have a wide range of molecular weight, e.g., above 50,000 (up to a few hundred thousands) when it is desirable to retain the Lipid conjugate in the vascular system and below 50,000 when targeting to extravascular systems is desirable. The sole limitation on the molecular weight and the chemical structure of the conjugated moiety is that it does not result in a Lipid-conjugate devoid of the desired biological activity, or lead to chemical or physiological instability to the extent that the Lipid-conjugate is rendered useless as a drug in the method of use described herein.

The compounds used in the examples below were prepared as described in United States Patent Application 10/952,496, which is incorporated herein by reference.
EXAMPLE 1: Viral Infection
[00212] The Lipid-conjugates are effective in the prophylaxis and treatment of viral infection, particularly infections due to human influenza virus and vaccinia virus. This is demonstrated for human influenza virus in Experiment 1.1-1.2, and for vaccinia in Experiment 1.3 below.
[00213] Viral infection is the cause of a number of human and animal diseases throughout the world. The process of viral infection comprises several stages, including attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, maturation, release and reinfection. In order to assess the ability of Lipid-conjugates to prevent viral infection, human cell lines were incubated with a preparation of a viral agent, and the ability of the virus to infect cells is compared in the presence and absence of Lipid-conjugate.
[00214iExperiment 1.1 : The effect of Lipid-conjugate treatment on human influenza virus infection in vitro.
[00215] Virus and cell lines. Each virus was obtained from the source described in Table 1.1. Kidney cell lines were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The cells were grown in minimal essential medium (Gibco-BRL, Gaithersburg, Md.) supplemented with 0.1% NaHCO3 and 5 to 9% fetal bovine serum (Hy Clone Laboratories, Logan, Utah). When performing antiviral assays, serum was reduced to 2%
and 50 μg gentamicin (Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO) per ml was added to the medium

1. Inhibition of Viral Cytopathic Effect (CPE)
[00216] A. Visual Observation
[00217]A viral CPE assay was performed as described (Barnard DL et al. Antivir Chem Chemother. 2001 Jul;12(4):241-250).
[00218] Compounds were evaluated using four loglO dilutions of each test compound (e.g., 1000, 100, 10, 1 μg/ml) (Tables 1.2 and 1.3) with an additional concentration of 2000 μg/ml for some experiments (Tables 1.4 and 1.5). Viruses (Influenza type A Strain HlNl, Influenza type A Strain H3N2, Influenza type B, Pichinde virus, Punta Toro virus, and Respiratory syncytial virus) were used at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.001 to 0.010. The MOIs used were virus dependent and chosen for each strain such that 100% of the cells in the virus controls showed cytopathic effects (CPE) within 5 to 7 days. Cell were grown to an 18 h monolayer (80-100% confluent) in 96-well tissue culture plates and were incubated with various concentrations of each compound as described above. Within 5 minutes of compound incubation, a volume of virus equal to that of the compound was added to the cells. The plates were then sealed and incubated at 37°C for approximately 72 to 120 hr until the cells in the virus control wells showed complete viral CPE as observed by light microscopy.
[00219]Each concentration of drug was assayed for virus inhibition in triplicate. Three wells were set aside as uninfected, untreated cell controls per test and three wells per test compound receive untreated, virus-infected cells and represented positive controls for
virus replication. Ribavirin, used as a positive control drug, was evaluated in parallel with compounds for each virus.
[00220] The 50% effective concentrations (EC50) were calculated by regression analysis of the means of the CPE ratings as compared to untreated, uninfected controls for each concentration. Cells were rated based on changes in enlargement, granularity, ragged edges, filmy appearance, rounding, detachment from the surface of the well, and other changes. Morphological changes results from cytotoxicity of a compound were graded on a scale of 0-5; 0 = no toxicity, 1 == partial toxicity-slight, 2 = partial toxicity, 3 = partial toxicity-heavy, 4 = partial toxicity-very heavy, and 5 = complete cytotoxicity, based on the degree of cytotoxicity observed. The CPE results were then quantified spectrophotometrically by neutral red (NR) uptake assay (see below).
[00221] B. Increase in Neutral Red (NR) Dye Uptake
[00222]A Neutral Red Dye Uptake assay was performed as described previously (McManus, NH, Appl. Environment. Microbiol. 31:35-38, 1976) to verify the inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity that was observed in the CPE inhibition assay. Briefly, medium was removed from each well of a plate scored for CPE from a CPE inhibition assay, 0.034% NR in Sδrenson's citrate buffer (pH 4.0) was added to each well of the plate and the plate incubated for 2 h at 37°C in the dark. The NR solution was removed from the wells. After rinsing and aspirating to dryness, the remaining dye was extracted for 30 min, at room temperature in the dark, from the cells using absolute ethanol buffered with Sorenson's citrate buffer. The percentage of NR uptake, indicating viable cells, was read on a microplate autoreader (Bio-Tek EL 1309; Bio-Tek Instruments, Winooski, Vt., USA) at dual wavelengths of 405 and 540 nm. The difference between the two readings were calculated to eliminate background. Absorbance values were expressed as percentages of untreated controls, and EC50 values were calculated as described above.
2. Cytotoxicity Assay
[00223] A. Visual Observation
[00224]Uninfected cells were treated with each concentration of test compound in duplicate and run in parallel with the infected, treated wells in the CPE inhibition tests described above. The toxicity control cells (uninfected and treated) were examined under a light microscope for changes in cell appearance compared to control cells (uninfected, untreated) on the same plate as described above. The 50% cell inhibitory (cytotoxic) concentrations (IC50) were calculated by regression analysis.
[00225] B. Neutral Red Uptake
[00226] The toxicity control cells (uninfected and treated) described in the previous section were further examined for neutral red dye uptake compared to control cells (uninfected, untreated) on the same plater Neutral red was added to the toxicity control wells, and the degree of color intensity was determined spectrophotometrically as described above. A neutral red IC50 (NR IC50) was subsequently determined. Absorbance values were expressed as percentages of uninfected, untreated controls, and IC50 values were calculated as described above.
3. Data analysis
[00227]Each test compound's antiviral activity was expressed as a selectivity index (SI), which is the IC50 divided by the EC50. Generally, an SI of 10 or greater is indicative of positive antiviral activity, although other factors, such as a low SI for the positive control, are also taken into consideration.
[00228]Tables 1.2 and 1.3 demonstrate the capacity of the Lipid-conjugates evaluated at low concentration to prevent infection of target cells by influenza virus.
[00229]Nine compounds were evaluated for in vitro antiviral testing against influenza A (HlNl strain) virus, influenza A (H3N2 strain) vims, influenza B virus, respiratory syncitial virus (RSV), Punta Toro virus, and Pichinde virus using various kidney cell lines described in Table 1.1. Two series of Lipid-conjugate dosages were used as described in the methods hereinabove.
[00230] Using a lower range of doses, Compound XXIV had significant anti-viral activity against influenza A (HlNl strain) virus (Table 1.2). The EC50 vs this virus was 5 μg/ml by visual assay and 2.5 μg/ml by neutral red assay, with an IC50 (cytotoxicity) >100 μg/ml. Against the influenza A (H3N2 strain) virus, the EC50 was 35 μg/ml by visual assay and 45 μg/ml by neutral red assay with the same IC50 as above. Compound XXIV was also efficacious vs RSV5 with an EC50 of 4 μg/ml using visual assay only, but was not active by neutral red assay. Compound XXIV'did not display a virus inhibitory effect against Punta Toro virus at the concentrations tested.
[00231] Compound XXV was less active, with EC50 values vs the influenza A (HlNl strain) virus of 50 μg/ml by visual assay and 35 μg/ml by neutral red assay and an IC50 >100 μg/ml (Table 1.3). This compound did not demonstrate a virus inhibitory effect against influenza A (H3N2 strain), influenza B, or RSV at the concentrations tested. Compound XXV did not display a virus inhibitory effect against Punta Toro virus.

[00232]Using higher concentrations of Lipid-conjugates, the results demonstrate a strong effect of Compound XXIV (100) against infection with Influenza A virus HlNl strain (Tables 1.4 and 1.5). In addition, Compound XXIII (170) and Compound XXIII (80)
showed antiviral activity against the H3N2 strain of Influenza A virus in the visual test but not the neutral red assay (Table 1.5).

r00234iExperiment 1.2 demonstrates the effect of Lipid-conjugate treatment on human influenza virus infection in vivo. We use young adult (18-21 g) female BALB/c mice infected intranasally with either influenza A/NWS/33 (HlNl), A/PR8/34 (HlNl), A/New Caledonia/20/99 (HlNl)5 A/Victoria/3/75 (H3N2), A/Port Chalmers/1/73 (H3N2), B/Hong Kong/5/72, B/Lee/40, B/Sichuan/379/99, or A/Duck/MN/1525/81 (H5N1) virus at sufficient dose to render death in approximately 90% of the mice, with the mean day to death being 6-10 days. The animals are monitored for arterial oxygen saturation levels using a pulse oximeter on days 3 through 11 (the infection usually induces major declines in these levels by about day 9-10 due to lung consolidation). We also sacrifice mice on days 1, 3, 6, and 9 for assay of lung score, lung weight increase, and lung virus titer. We usually use 22 infected mice for each dosage of test compound, and 35 infected mice treated with placebo. Three uninfected mice are included as toxicity controls, these are treated in parallel to the above, and weight loss or gain is determined during the period of treatment. A group of normal controls are also run in parallel to ascertain their weight gain during the study as well as the normal arterial oxygen saturation levels. Some of these animals are also killed to determine normal lung parameters.
[00235]If the test compound is considered to be_ an immunomodulator, we would inject mice with the compound intraperitoneally every other day for a total of 4 treatments beginning 24 h prior to virus exposure. If the material is considered to be antiviral, a twice daily for 5 days treatment schedule is recommended, with therapy beginning 4 h pre-virus exposure. We generally try to select three dosages varying 2-fold or 1/2 loglO from each other, with the high dose being approximately the maximum tolerated dose.
[00236]Ribavirin is usually included at a single dose as a known positive control.
[00237iExperiment 1.3 demonstrates the effect of Lipid-conjugate treatment on vaccinia virus infection in vitro.
[00238]BS-C-l cell monolayers (3xlO6 cells), in 3 cm diameter plastic dishes, were infected with a dilution of a crude stock of vaccinia virus (WR strain), to give a m.o.i. of
1 PFU per 10 cells. After adsorption for 1 hr, the cells were washed and 2 ml of Dulbecco's MEM5 supplemented with 2% fetal calf serum, containing 1:10 dilution of the compound to be tested, were added. The cultures were incubated for 2 days at 370C and then harvested. Control infected cultures that were not treated with the compounds, were harvested at 0 time and at 48 hr. The virus titer in all cultures was determined, after three cycles of freezing and thawing, by plaque assay in BS-C-I cells.
[00239]Table 1.6 demonstrates the capacity of the Lipid-conjugates to prevent infection of target cells by vaccinia virus. Compounds XXII, XXIII, and XXV inhibited viral infection in culture by 62-99%.
