The present invention relates to the field of nucleoside analogs
Ribavirin (1-3-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide) is a nucleoside analog that has demonstrated efficacy in treating viral diseases both as monotherapy (respiratory syncytial virus, Hall, C. B.; McBride, J. T.; Walsh, E. E.; Bell, D. M.; Gala, C. L.; Hildreth,
S.; Ten Eyck, L. G.; W. J. Hall. Aerosolized ribavirin treatment of infants with respiratory syncytial viral infection. N. Engl. J. Med. 1983, 308, 1443-1447), and in combination therapy with interferon-alpha (hepatitis C virus, Reichard, O.; Norkrans, G.; Fryden, A.; Braconier, J-
H.; Sonnerborg, A.; Weiland, O. Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial of interferon alpha 2B with and without ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C. Lancet 1998, 351, 83- 87). Recently reported studies indicate that the in vivo utility of ribavirin can result not only from direct inhibition of viral replication, but also from its ability to enhance T cell-mediated immunity (Hultgren, C.; Milich, D. R.; Weiland, O.; Sailberg, M. The antiviral compound ribavirin modulates the T helper Typel/Type2 subset balance in hepatitis B and C virus- specific immune responses. J. Gen. Virol. 1998, 79, 2381-2391; Ning, Q.; Brown, D.; Parodo,

Effects of the ribavirin- interferon alpha combination on cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells from chronic hepatitis C patients. Cytokine 1998, 79, 2381-2391. This immunomodulatory effect of ribavirin is demonstrable in vitro by measuring the levels of Type 1 cytokines produced by activated T cells from both humans and mice (Tam, R. C. Pai, B.; Bard, J.; Lim, C.; Averett,
D. R.; Phan, U. T.; Milovanovic, T. Ribavirin polarizes hv.man T cell responses towards a
Type 1 cytokine profile. J. Hepatol. 1999, 30, 376-382), and by other measures. The induction of a Type 1 cytokine bias by ribavirin is functionally significant in vivo in murine systems (Tam, R. C.; Lim, C.; Bard, J.; Pai, B. Contact hypersensitivity responses following ’ ribavirin treatment in vivo are influenced by Type. 1 cytokine polarization, regulation of IL- . 10 expression and costimulatory signaling. J. Immunol. 1999, 163, 3709-3717). :
Mammalian immune systems contain two major classes of lymphocytes: B lympho- cytes (B cells), which originate in the bone marrow; and T lymphocytes (T cells) that originate in the thymus. B cells are largely responsible for humoral immunity (i.e., antibody production), while T cells are largely responsible for cell-mediated immunity.
T cells are generally considered to fall into two subclasses, helper T cells and cytotoxic T cells. Helper T cells activate other lymphocytes, including B cells and cytotoxic
T cells, and macrophages, by releasing soluble protein mediators called cytokines that are involved in cell-mediated immunity. As used herein, lymphokines are a subset of cytokines.
Helper T cells are also generally considered to fall into two subclasses, Type 1 and
Type 2. Type | cells produce interleukin 2 (IL-2), tumor necrosis factor (TNFa) and interferon gamma (IFNy). and are responsible primarily for cell-mediated immunity such as delayed type hypersensitivity and antiviral immunity. In contrast, Type 2 cells produce interleukins, IL4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10 and IL-13, and are primarily involved in assisting humoral immune responses such as those seen in response to allergens, e.g. IgE and 1gG4 antibody isotype switching (Mosmann, 1989, Annu Rev Immunol, 7:145-173).
As used herein, the terms Type 1 and Type 2 “responses” are meant to include the entire range of effects resulting from induction of Type 1 and Type 2 lymphocytes, respectively. Among other things, such responses include variation in production of the corresponding cytokines through transcription, translation, secretion and possibly other mechanisms, increased proliferation of the corresponding lymphocytes, and other effects associated with increased production of cytokines, including motility effects.
Previous applications (09/462714, 09/291097, 09/291093, 09/471513, 60/164365, 60/164366, 60/172097, 60/175111), each of which is incorporated herein by reference, relate to aspects of our recent discoveries involving the effect of various nucleosides (which are defined herein io include derivatives and analogs of native nucleosides) on selectively modulating lymphocyte responses relative to each other. Among other things, we have shown that either of Type 1 and Type 2 responses can be selectively suppressed while the other is either induced or left relatively unaffected, and either of Type 1 or Type 2 responses ) can be selectively induced while the other is either suppressed or left relatively unaffected.
We have also discovered the surprising fact that some nucleosides effective in selectively modulating Type 1 and Type 2 responses relative to one another tend to have a bimodal effect. Among other things, some nucleosides that tend to generally suppress or induce both
Type 1 and Type 2 activity at a relatively higher dose tend to selectively modulate Type and Type 2 relative to each other at relatively lower doses.
Viramidine™ (1-4-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamidine hydrochloride) has been shown active in ten different viruses that is comparable to Ribavirin. (J. T.
Witkowski, R. K. Robins, G. P. Khare, R. W. Sidwell, J. Med. Chem., 16, 935-937, 1973; R.
W. Sidwell, J. H. Huffman, D. L. Barnard, D. Y. Pifat, Antiviral Research, 10, 193-208, 1988; B. Gabnelsen, M. J. Phelan, L. Barthel-Rosa, C. See, J. W. Huggins, D. F. Kefauver, T.
P. Monath, M. A. Ussery, G. N. Chmumy, E. M. Schubert, K. Upadhya, C. Kwong, D. A. _ Carter, J. A. Secrist II, J. J. Kirsi, W. M. Shannon, R. W. Sidwell, G. D. Kini, R. K. Robins,
J. Med. Chem., 35, 3231-3238, 1992). In addition, Viramidine™ like Ribavirin is an inhibitor of IMP dehydrogenease (R. C. Willis, R. K. Robins, J. E. Seegmiller, Molecular
Pharmacology, 18, 287-295, 1980). Furthermore, preliminary toxicology studies suggests that Viramidine™ is less toxic than ribavirin (D. Y. Pifat, R. W. Sidwell, P. G. Canonico,
Antiviral Research, 9, 136, 1988). Also, recent studies at our lab (R. Tam, K. Ramasamy,
ICN Pharmaceuticcals, Inc.,unpublished results, 1999) revealed that Viramidine™ and ribavirin exhibited similar immunomodulatory properties. These results coupled with low bioavailability and the toxicity associated with ribavirin prompt us not only tc develop
Viramidine™ for other viral diseases but also to prepare other derivatives of Viramidine™, including the synthesis of prodrugs of Viramidine™, and screen them as potential antiviral agents.
The effect of other nucleoside analog compounds on selectively modulating lymphocyte responses relative to each other has not been previously studied or documented.
We have discovered that the bimodal effect, or selective modulation of Type 1 and Type 2 responses relative to one another, also occurs after administration of other nucleoside analog compounds, such as pro-drug forms of the compounds.
There are many barrier: to overcome in developing biologically active compounds into clinically useful agents. M any potent biologically active compounds never become clinically useful agents becaus: of their undesirable biopharmaceutical properties which ’ include low bioavailability due tc. iow permeability through biological barriers, such asthe blood brain barrier (BBB) and the intestinal barrier. Although many factors affect the : bioavailability of a drug, the undesirable physicochemical properties (e.g., charge, lipophilicity, hydrogen bonding potential, size) of many drugs is probably one of the most commonly encountered factors that hinder the permeation of drugs through biological barriers. Therefore, optimization of the physicochemical characteristics (charge, lipophilicity, hydrogen bonding potential, size) of a drug is probably the most likely general strategy to facilitate the transport of drugs through such membrane barriers.
To optimize the physicochemical properties of drugs, one possible strategy is that of prodrugs. (H. Bundgaard, Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1985; N. Bodor, L.
Prokai, W. M. Wu, H. Farag, S. Jonalagadda, M. Kawamura, J. Simpkins, Science, 257, 1698-1700, 1992; H. E. Taylor, K. B. Sloan, J. Pharm. Sci, 87, 5-20, 1998). The term prodrug is used to describe an agent, which must undergo chemical or enzymatic transformation to the active or parent drug afier administration, so that the metabolic product or parent drug can subsequently exhibit the desired pharmacological response. By derivatizing certain polar functional groups in small organic molecules transiently and bioreversibly, the undesirable physicochemical characteristics (e.g., charge, hydrogen bonding potential) of these groups have been “masked” without permanently altering the pharmacological properties of the molecules. This strategy has been very successfully used in cases where the prodrug derivatization involves converting a carboxy! or a hydroxyl functional group into an ester, which can be readily hydrolyzed in vivo either chemically, or enzymatically. The promising prodrug concept, we anticipate that the introduction of other moieties in the parent drug would increase the bioavailabilty, adsorption and antiviral effects.
Despite the existence of as-yet undefined mechanisms, we have discovered that ’ enormous potential benefits can be derived from selective modulation of Type 1 and Type 2 responses relative to each other. We have concluded, for example, that specific modulation of
Type 1 relative to Type 2 can be useful in treating a wide variety of conditions and diseases, ranging from infections, infestations, tumors and hypersensitivities to autoimmune diseases.
These discoveries are especially significant because modern treatment strategies for many of the above-listed diseases have limited effectiveness, significant side effects, or both.
Treatment of autoimmune disease, for example, is frequently limited to palliative measures, ’ removal of toxic antibodies (as in myasthenia gravis), and administration of hazardous drugs including corticosteroids, chloroquine derivatives, and antimetabolic or antitumor drugs, and drugs such as cyclosporines that target immune system cells.

Still other contemplated uses of the compounds according to the present invention include use as intermediates in the chemical synthesis of other nucleoside or nucleotide analogs that are, in turn, useful as therapeutic agents or for other purposes.
In yet another aspect, a method of treating a mammal comprises administering a ) therapeutically and/or prophylactically effective amount of a pharmaceutical containing a compound of the present invention. In this aspect the effect may relate to modulation of some portion of the mammal’s immune system, especially modulation of lymphokines profiles of
Type 1 and Type 2 with respect to one another. Where modulation of Type 1 and Type 2 lymphokines occurs, it is particularly contemplated that the modulation may include suppression of both Type 1 and Type 2, and more preferably stimulation of Type 1 lymphokines, or a relative increase of a type 1 response to a type 2 response.
It is particularly contemplated that Viramidine™ (1.39 pg/ml) increases the express- ion and synthesis of Type 1 cytokines in (preferably activated) T-lymphocytes, and results from various experiments are shown in Figures 2-5. Figure 2 depicts the effect of SuM
Viramidine (a compound according to Formula 1), Ribavirin, and levovirin on Type 1 cytokine synthesis in SEB-activated human T cells (n= 5 donors), in which viramidine shows a clear increase in the Type 1 response as compared to the control with Triazole. Figure 3 is a graphical representation of a dose-response effect of Viramidine in the range of 0.625 — 10 uM on Type 1 cyickine synthesis in SEB (Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B)-activated human T cells (data represent 4 individual donors). The in vivo effect of an increased Type 1 response in a contact hyper-sensitivity (CHS) assay of Viramidine is clearly demonstrated in Figure 4, and Figure 5 shows a comparison between Viramidine and Levovirin/Ribavirin ii: respect to peak response nucleoside concentration and pcak range of responses (y-axis depicts number of responders in a particular experiment).
Preparation of human T-cells and activation in vitro
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from healthy donors or rheumaioid arthritis patients by density gradient centrifugation followed by T cell enrichment using . Lymphokwik (One Lambda, Canoga Park CA). Contaminating monocytes were removed by adherence to plastic. Purified T cells were > 99% CD2+ , <1% HLA-DR+ and < 5% CD25+ and were maintained in RPMI-APS (RPMI-1640 medium containing 20 mM HEPES buffer,
pH 7.4, 5% autologous plasmi:, 1% L-glutamine, 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 0.05% 2- mercaptoethanol). . For determination of cytokine protein levels, T-cells (1 x 10° cells in a volume of 1 ml) were activated by the addition of 10 ng PMA plus 0.5 pg ionomycin (both from : Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA) and incubated in 24 well plates in the presence of 0 to 20 uM nucleoside for up to 48 h at 37°C and 5% CO; in a humidified incubator. Following activation, supernatants were analysed for cell-derived cytokine production. For proliferation and viability studies, the protocol as above was modified to a 96 well-plate format using 0.2 x 10° cells in a volume of 0.2 ml and activation with 2ng PMA and 0.1 pig ionomycin. In separate experiments, 5 x 10° T cells in 2m! were activated with 20 ng PMA plus 1 ug ionomycin. Alternatively, cells can be activated in vitro with SEB following published procedures. Here total RNA was isolated from T cells following 6 - 24h incubation and analyzed by RT -PCR to determine mRNA levels of various cytokines and inflammatory mediators. Also in separate experiments, human T cells were purified further (using cell enrichment reagents from Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC) to give pure populations of CD4+ (< 1% CD8+ using RosetteSep human CD4+ T cell isolation reagent), and CD8+ (< 1% CD4+ using RosetteSep human CD4+ T cell isolation reagent) T cell subsets, after which 1 x 10% cells per ml were activated with PMA and ionomycin, as in the total T cell experi- ments.
Extracellular cvtokine analvses
Human cytokine levels were determined in cell supernatants, following appropriate dilution, using ELISA kits specific for IL-2, IFNg, TNFa, IL-4 and IL-5 (Biosource Inter- national, Camarillo, CA). Murine cytokine levels were determined using ELISA Kits specific for murine [FNg and IL-4 (R and D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). All ELISA results were expressed as pg/ml. Some data are shown as percentage of aciivated control, calculated as the ratio of activated T cell cytokine level in the presence of test nucleoside over the cytokine : level of untreated activated T cells x 100 %. Zero effect on cytokine levels by test "nucleosides would give a percentage of activated control value of 100 %. Alternatively data were shown as percentage change from activated control ([(test pg/ml — activated control pg/ml)/activated control pg/ml] x 100%). Zero effect on cytokine levels by test nucleosides would be 0 %.
Contact hypersensitivity (CHS)
Reactivity to the contact allergen, DNFB, was determined, in BALB/C mice, as - previously described (Ishii, N., K. Takahashi, H. Nakajima, S. Tanaka, P.W. Askenase. 1994. DNFB contact sensitivity (CS) in BALB/c and C3H/He mice. J. Invest. Dermatol. ) 102:321). Briefly, mice were sensitized by application of 20ul of 0.3% DNFB in acetone : olive oil, 4 : 1 onto the shaved abdomens of naive mice. For optimal elicitation of CHS, the mice were challenged on both sides of each ear with 20ul of 0.12% DNFB, five days after sensitization. Unsensitized mice were also challenged and used as controls in each experiment. After 24h, ear thickness measurements were taken and response tc DNFB was assessed by subtracting post-challenge from pre-challenge values. Where indicated, 7--D- ribofuranosyl-4-oxopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamidine, at a dose of 6.2 pug in 50ul
PBS (0.3 mg/kg) or 12.4 pg in 100ul PBS (0.6 mg/kg), was administered by 1.p. injection at the time of challenge with DNFB. These doses of 7--D-ribofuranosyl-4-oxopyrrolo[2,3- d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamidine gave maximal effect in preliminary optimization studies.
Following final ear thickness measurements, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and * axillary/lateral axillary lymph nodes were removed. Following isolation of total cellular RNA from isolated lymph node cells, RT-PCR and Southern Blot analyses were performed to monitor for mouse IFNg, IL-2, and IL-10 mRNA levels.
Further experiments
It is generally contemplated that a shift of an immune response towards a Type 1 response is favorable. Consequently, it is contemplated that compounds according to the inventive subject matter may be particularly useful in treatment of viral diseases (preferably in viral infections in which the type 1 response is reduced or suppressed). To confirm the effectiveness of modulating an immune response, various experiments have been conducted, and the following is an exemplary summary of some of the experiments conducted with contemplated compounds:
In vitro — Viramidine inhibited Punta Toro virus infection of LLC-MK2 (rhesus ’ monkey kidney cells) with EC50 of 8 mg/ml (Adames sirain) and 12 mg/ml (Balliet strain) -
CC50 was 320 mg/m! (1.0 - 1.2 virus rating).
WD 01/60379 PCT/US01/40148
In vivo - Administration s.c., or oral viramidine resulted in 100% survival (10
C57BL/6 mice/gp) of PTV injected s.c. (Adames strain). . For 24h post infection by PTV in vivo the minimum effective s.c. dose of 32 mg/kg for ribavirin and for viramidine was 96 mg/kg given s.c. b.i.d for 5 days. For 24h post : infection by PTV in vivo the minimum effective p.o. dose of 20 mg/kg for ribavirin and for viramidine was 40 mg/kg given p.o. b.i.d for 5 days.
In general, the most preferred uses according to the present invention are those in which the active compounds are relatively less cytotoxic to the non-target host cells and relatively more active against the target. In this respect, it may also be advantageous that L- nucleosides may have increased stability over D-nucleosides, which could lead to better pharmacokinetics. This result may attain because L-nucleosides may not be recognized by enzymes. and therefore may have longer half-lives.
It is contemplated that compounds according to the present invention will be administered in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo in any appropriate pharmaceutical formulation, and . under any appropriate protocol. Thus, administration may take place orally, parenterally (including subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscularly, by intrasternal injection or infusion techniques), by inhalation spray, or rectally, topically and so forth, and in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles.
By way of example, it is contemplated that compounds according to the present invention can be formulated in admixture with a pharmaccutically acceptable camer. For example, the compounds of the present invention can be administered orally as pharmacologically acceptable salts. Because the compounds of the present invention are mostly water soluble, they can be administered intravenously in physiclogical saline solution (e.g., buffered to 2 pH of about 7.2 to 7.5). Conventional buffers such as phosphates, bicarbonates or citrates can be used for this purpose. Of course, one of ordinary skill in the art ) may modify the formulations within the teachings of the specification to provide numerous formulations for a particular route of administration without rendering the compositions of the present invention unstable or compromising their therapeutic activity. In particular, the modification of the present compounds to render them more soluble in water or other vehicle, for example, may be easily accomplished by minor modifications (salt formulation,
esterification, efc.) that are well within the ordinary skill in the art. It is also well within the ordinary skill of the art to modify the route of administration and dosage regimen of a particular compound in order to manage the pharmacokinetics of the present compounds for : | maximum beneficial effect in patients. : In addition, compounds according to the present invention may be administered alone or in combination with other agents for the treatment of the above infections or conditions.

Floron™, Lidex™, Topicort and Valisone; and metabolic agents such as insulin, and other drugs which may not nicely fit into the above categories, including cytokines such as IL2, : IL4, 116, IL8, IL10 and IL12. Especially preferred primary drugs are AZT, 3TC, 8- "substituted guanosine analogs, 2,3-dideoxynucleosides, interleukin II, interferons such as ’ IaB-interferons, tucaresol, levamisole, isoprinosine and cyclolignans.
Examples of such further therapeutic agents include agents that are effective for the modulation of immune systerr or associated conditions such as AZT, 3TC, 8-substituted guanosine analogs, 2°, 3’-dideoxynucleosides, interleukin II, interferons, such as a-interferon, ’ tucaresol, levamisole, isoprinosi:ae and cyclolignans. Certain compounds according to the present invention may be effective for enhancing the biological activity of certain agents according to the present invention by reducing the metabolism or inactivation of other compounds and as such, are co-administered for this intended effect.
With respect to dosage, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that a therapeutically effective amount will vary with the infection or condition to be treated, its severity, the treatment regimen to be employed, the pharmacekinetics of the agent used, as well as the patient (animal or human) treated. It is contemplated that various alternative dosages are also appropriate, including dosages between 0.5 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg and less, but also dosages between 0.5 and 1.0mg/kg and more. It is further contemplated that while treatment success may be achieved with some viral infections at relatively low plasma concentrations of the compounds of Formula 1, other viral infections may require relatively high dosages. It is contemplated, however, that an appropriate regimen will be developed by administering a small amount, and then increasing the amount until the side effects become unduly adverse, or the intended effect is achieved.
Administration of the active compound may range from continuous (intravenous drip) to several oral administrations per day (for example, Q.1.D.) and may include oral, topical, parenteral, intramuscular, intravenous, sub-cutaneous, transdermal (which may include a penetration enhancement agent), buccal and suppository administration. among other routes of administration.
To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention, a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the compounds according to the present invention is preferably intimately admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier . according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques to produce a dose. A carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for : administration, e.g., oral or parenteral. In preparing pharmaceutical compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be used. Thus, for liquid oral preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions, suitable carriers and additives including water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavouring agents, preservatives, colouring agents and the like may be used. For solid oral preparations such as powders, tablets, capsules, and for solid preparations such as suppositories, suitable carriers and additives including starches, sugar carrier, such as dextrose, mannitol, lactose and related carers, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like may be used. If desired, the tablets or capsules may be enteric-coated or sustained release by standard techniques.
For parenteral formulations, the carrier will usually comprise sterile waier or aqueous sodium chloride solution, though other ingredients including those that aid dispersion may be included. Of course, where sterile water is to be used and maintained as sterile, the compositions and carriers must also be sterilized. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared, in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed.
