Definitions
- the present invention relates to a group of L-amino acid esters substituted 3-phenyl-3-(aryloxy) propan- 1 -amine compounds.
- the present invention particularly relates to L-amino acid esters substituted 3-phenyl-3-(aryloxy) propan- 1 -amine compounds having antiviral and immunomodulatory potential.
- the clinically used drug is a racemic mixture. From a sterochemcial point of view, as individual enantiomer fluoxetine shows a moderate difference in terms of their serotonin reuptake inhibitory activity. Being a pharmacologically active entity on a wide spectrum of mood disorders fluoxetine has been a clinically accepted drug all over the world for the treatment of major depression (American Journal of Psychiatry, 2000. 157(3): p. 338-343).
- fluoxetine has the ability to modify tumor cell viability as confirmed through in vivo experiments that tumor growth is inhibited through chronic fluoxetine treatment by enhancing the antitumor T-cell activity (Beneficial effect of fluoxetine and sertraline on chronic stress-induced tumor growth and cell dissemination in a mouse model of lymphoma: crucial role of antitumor immunity. Frontiers in immunology, 2018. 9: p. 1341). Thus, there has been ample evidence in literature regarding the ability of fluoxetine to amend the functionality of the immune system. These research findings point to the significance of the novel pharmacological action of fluoxetine and its analogues as immunomodulator aiding to treat several disorders related with immune deficiency and its deregulation.
- Fluoxetine displayed potent inhibitory effect on enterovirus replication as revealed in drug repurposing screens in mice.
- fluoxetine has been used to successfully treat immunocompromised children suffering from severe and lethal enterovirus encephalitis (Synthesis and antiviral effect of novel fluoxetine analogues as enterovirus 2C inhibitors. Antiviral Research, 2020. 178: p. 104781). It has been observed that structural modification of fluoxetine offers a potential strategy for evolving effective immunomodulators and antiviral therapeutics for clinical use.
- the invention provides a focused library of novel fluoxetine analogues, in which amino acids have been introduced on the N-terminus of the original scaffold, to gain insight into the structure-activity relationships of fluoxetine vis-a-vis the antiviral and immunomodulatory potentials.
- Previously reports pointed out that the structural features of the trifluoro-phenoxy moiety and the amino moiety are essential for the antiviral potency whereas the 3- phenyl moiety seems expendable.
- Immunomodulators modify the immune responses either by enhancing or suppressing the immune responses and are classified as an immunostimulant or immunosuppressant respectively. Anti- inflammatory action of antidepressants is finding increasing attention in the field of immunotherapy .
- Fluoxetine has been often utilized to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder and depression because of its tolerability and safety (Multiple autoimmune diseases in a young woman: tuberculosis and splenectomy as possible triggering factors Another example of the “mosaic ” of autoimmunity. The Journal of rheumatology, 2008. 35(6): p. 1224-1227.).
- Clinically fluoxetine is utilized in a racemic form. It is postulated that this first-line anti-depressant drug can decrease the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Available works of literature demonstrate the anti-inflammatory characteristic of fluoxetine. Investigations revealed that fluoxetine noticeably reduces the INF y / IL- 10, suppresses TNF-a release, and increases the formation of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL- 10.
- the present invention discloses designed fluoxetine analogues substituting the methylamine group with various L- alpha amino acids, to explore the need of modification across the basic nitrogen.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Eli-Lily and company in 1976 discovered originally Fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac® ,(N -methyl-3 -phenyl-3 - [4- (trifuoromethyl)phenoxy ] propan- 1 -amine hydrochoride) a selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which was later approved by the FDA in 1987 for therapeutic management of depression (Fluoxetine: a serotonin-specific, second-generation antidepressant. Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 1987. 7(1): p. 1-14). It augments the serotoninergic tone by enhancing the concentration of the neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft through restraining the serotonin transporter. The clinically used drug is a racemic mixture. From a sterochemcial point of view, as individual enantiomer fluoxetine shows a moderate difference in terms of their serotonin reuptake inhibitory activity. Being a pharmacologically active entity on a wide spectrum of mood disorders fluoxetine has been a clinically accepted drug all over the world for the treatment of major depression (American Journal of Psychiatry, 2000. 157(3): p. 338-343). Further research on fuoxetine indicated the possible protection aligned with the adverse effects of various types of stress factors of immune system, oxidative damage through a permutation of mechanisms. This is supposed to be a key role player in neuroprotection, since brain being a high energy demanding organ susceptible to oxidative stress. Abnormal increase in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) results in oxidative stress, which might have implications in the pathogenesis of many neuro- degenerative and psychiatric disorders.
[0003] Antidepressant therapy has been inseparably linked to immune disorders. Investigational research findings specify that lymphocytes express the serotonin transporter and ability of fluoxetine to alter the immune functioning through a serotonin-dependent pathway and through a novel independent way. In addition, fluoxetine has the ability to modify tumor cell viability as confirmed through in vivo experiments that tumor growth is inhibited through chronic fluoxetine treatment by enhancing the antitumor T-cell activity (Beneficial effect of fluoxetine and sertraline on chronic stress-induced tumor growth and cell dissemination in a mouse model of lymphoma: crucial role of antitumor immunity. Frontiers in immunology, 2018. 9: p. 1341). Thus, there has been ample evidence in literature regarding the ability of fluoxetine to amend the functionality of the immune system. These research findings point to the significance of the novel pharmacological action of fluoxetine and its analogues as immunomodulator aiding to treat several disorders related with immune deficiency and its deregulation.
[0004] Furthermore, Fluoxetine displayed potent inhibitory effect on enterovirus replication as revealed in drug repurposing screens in mice. In addition to this, fluoxetine has been used to successfully treat immunocompromised children suffering from severe and lethal enterovirus encephalitis (Synthesis and antiviral effect of novel fluoxetine analogues as enterovirus 2C inhibitors. Antiviral Research, 2020. 178: p. 104781). It has been observed that structural modification of fluoxetine offers a potential strategy for evolving effective immunomodulators and antiviral therapeutics for clinical use. The invention provides a focused library of novel fluoxetine analogues, in which amino acids have been introduced on the N-terminus of the original scaffold, to gain insight into the structure-activity relationships of fluoxetine vis-a-vis the antiviral and immunomodulatory potentials. Previously reports pointed out that the structural features of the trifluoro-phenoxy moiety and the amino moiety are essential for the antiviral potency whereas the 3- phenyl moiety seems expendable. Immunomodulators modify the immune responses either by enhancing or suppressing the immune responses and are classified as an immunostimulant or immunosuppressant respectively. Anti-
inflammatory action of antidepressants is finding increasing attention in the field of immunotherapy .
[0005] Fluoxetine has been often utilized to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder and depression because of its tolerability and safety (Multiple autoimmune diseases in a young woman: tuberculosis and splenectomy as possible triggering factors Another example of the “mosaic ” of autoimmunity. The Journal of rheumatology, 2008. 35(6): p. 1224-1227.). Clinically fluoxetine is utilized in a racemic form. It is postulated that this first-line anti-depressant drug can decrease the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Available works of literature demonstrate the anti-inflammatory characteristic of fluoxetine. Investigations revealed that fluoxetine noticeably reduces the INF y / IL- 10, suppresses TNF-a release, and increases the formation of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL- 10.
[0006] Literature clearly indicates a remarkable increase in immunological diseases thus great attention is required for the development of immunomodulators (Learning about the safety of drugs — a half-century of evolution. New England journal of medicine, 2011. 365(23): p. 2151-2153.). There is a huge worldwide demand for efficient immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory drugs for the adjunct therapy of viral infections. In this endeavour, the present invention reveals the synthesis and immunological and antiviral screening of a focused library of novel designer amino acid analogues of fluoxetine. Fluoxetine is reported as a potential serotonin re-uptake inhibitor used for the treatment of depression. Apart from this pharmacological attribute, fluoxetine is not used clinically as an antiviral and antiinflammatory drug.
[0007] The present invention discloses designed fluoxetine analogues substituting the methylamine group with various L- alpha amino acids, to explore the need of modification across the basic nitrogen. The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized spectroscopically and tested for their immunomodulatory and anti-viral activities.

Thionyl chloride was the reagent of choice to convert amino acid into corresponding acid chloride following a literature procedure. Methanol and ethanol were used as the solvents as
well as reactants to produce methyl and ethyl ester 2. Mitsunobu reaction was performed between 3 -chloro- 1-phenylpropan-l-ol 3 and substituted phenol 4 to achieve 4-substituted l-(3-chloro-l-phenylpropoxy)-4-benzene 5 as colourless oil, in moderate to good yield.

After the removal of the ice bath, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove excess thionyl chloride. The resultant white solid was combined twice with respective alcohol, and this was again removed under reduced pressure to remove adhered thionyl chloride completely. The product was then recrystallized from respective alcohols and dried under high vacuum to afford compound 2 in good yields (95-99%).

Dry THF (25 ml) was added into the reaction pot and this mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 20 minutes. Phenol 4 (11.72 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF (5 ml) and added into the reaction pot and stirred for 4 hours. 3 -chloro- 1-phenylpropan-l-ol 3 (11.72 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF (5 ml) and transferred into reaction pot and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 16 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. Reaction progress was monitored on TLC (thin layer chromatography) plate. After completion of reaction, solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified by column chromatography technique, using hexane as a mobile phase and silica gel (60-120 mesh size) as stationary phase to afford the pure product 5 in moderate yields (65-70%).

In a separate flask, aliphatic ester of amino acid (0.79 mmol.) and diisopropylethylamine (DiPEA) (0.95 mmol.) were dissolved in DMF and stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. This mixture was poured into the solution of 5 and sodium iodide at room temperature. This reaction mixture was refluxed at 130 °C for 5 hours. Reaction progress was monitored on TLC plate. After completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled down at room temperature, quenched with ice cold water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2x25 ml). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine solution, dried with anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain crude product. The crude was purified by column chromatography to give the final product with 70-85% yield. All analogues are confirmed by using various spectroscopic techniques like 1 H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS spectrometry.

Biological evaluation:
[00052] The antiviral and immunomodulatory properties of the above novel molecules were carried out using in vitro assays-
[00053] Anti-viral activity: Huh 7 cells were cultured in 96-well plates (2 x 10 4 cells/well) for 16 h. Then differing concentrations of compounds are added to viral inoculums (minimal numbers required for causing infection) and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. The cells were infected with these mixtures at 37 °C for 2 h. Afterwards, the virus was removed, and cells were washed three times with PBS, and the medium was replaced by complete DMEM. The cells were incubated for 48 h at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The reduction of viral cytopathic effect was determined by measuring cell viability measured using MTS.
[00054] Immunomodulatory activity: Dweller macrophages were accessed by peritoneal bath of crude mice. 2% starch solution was prepared by adding starch to the sterile Millipore water and making it clear solution by sonication. The starch solution was stored for 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature and then was used at same concentration. 2ml of 2% starch injection was given to mice at intra peritoneal site. After 4-5 days of immunization, the mice were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation and 5 ml PBS injection was given to same site. After 5 min the fluid was collected from
peritoneal site either through syringe or dropper. The suspension was centrifuged at 2000rpm, 621g for 10 min at RT. The pellets so collected were cultured in high glucose DMEM and stored at 37°C. The macrophages were treated with the analogues at four different concentrations (1000-lpg/ml) in ten-fold dilution and pro inflammatory cytokines were estimated.
Cytokine estimation- Sandwich ELISA
[00055] Quantification of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL- 10 from cell supernatant of macrophages was carried out by Opti Elisa Kit (BD) according to manufacturer’s protocol. The supernatant was collected from treated well separately for cytokine estimation by coating ELISA plates with purified antimouse antibody diluted with bicarbonate - carbonate buffer and incubated at 4°C overnight. Plates were washed thrice with PBST 20 and blocked with lOOpl of 1% BSA. After 1 hour incubation at RT, plates were again washed thrice with same washing buffer. lOOpl of cell supernatant sample was added along with serially diluted recombinant antibody. Plates were incubated for 3 hours at 37°C. Post incubation was followed by four times washing and then addition of detection antibody prepared in BSA with 1 hour incubation at RT. After four times washing, HRP streptavidin (1 :3000) in 1% BSA was added lOOpl each and kept for incubation for 30 min at RT. TMB substrate (TMBA:TMBB; 1:1) was added after thrice washing and kept for incubation till development of colour or for 15 min. The reaction was stopped by adding 50pl of 2N H2SO4 and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm in ELISA reader (Tecan, Infinite pro).
