Description

TETRAHYDROCARBAZOLE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR PHARMACEUTICAL USE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel compounds that are useful in the treatment of human papillomaviruses, and also to the methods for the making and use of such compounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small nonenveloped DNA viruses involved in many conditions and diseases. For example HPVs cause a wide variety of benign and pre-malignant tumors.
HPV is spread by direct contact. HPVs may be divided into two categories: cutaneous and mucosal. The cutaneous HPVs cause warts on hands and feet, such as common, plantar, filiform, or flat warts. The mucosal HPV types infect the anogenital region and the oral cavity. Approximately 100 different types of HPV have been characterized to date. Approximately 40 HPV types specifically infect the genital and oral mucosa.
Mucosal HPVs are most frequently sexually transmitted and, with an incidence roughly twice that of herpes simplex virus infection, HPVs are considered one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) throughout the world.
Infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) may not cause any symptoms and does not always produce visible genital warts. When symptoms do develop, they usually occur 2 to 3 months after infection with the virus. Symptoms have been known to develop, however, from 3 weeks to many years after infection occurs. As such, HPV may be spread unknowingly.
More than 25 HPV types that are implicated in anogenital diseases are broadly classified as either low risk or high risk. Low risk HPVs, such as HPV-G and
HPV-11, are the etiological cause of genital warts (condyloma acuminata). High risk
HPVs, such as HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68, usually do not produce visible genital warts. Rather the high-risk viral types may be identified by
DNA testing. High risk HPVs such as HPV-16 and HPV-18 may be found on Pap screening tests and be related to precancerous cervical cell change, cervical dysplasia, and cervical cancer. In fact, high-risk HPV types, such as 16, 18, 31, 33, and 35, are strongly associated with precancerous and cancerous changes of the cervix. Most cervical cancers (about 90%) contain one of these high-risk types. High risk HPV infection creates a lifetime risk of invasive cancer in the range of 5-10% for untreated infection.
In addition to cervical cancer, high risk HPVs are associated with a number of anal and perianal cancers.
Current treatments for genital warts and cervical dysplasia include physical removal such as cryotherapy, electrosurgery, and surgical excision. Currently, there : are no effective antiviral treatments for HPV infection.

Other salts, which are not pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful in the preparation of compounds of this invention and these should be considered to form a further aspect of the invention.
As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute (in this invention, a compound of Formula |, or a salt or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and a solvent. Such solvents, for the purpose of the invention, should not interfere with the biological activity of the solute. Non-limiting examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to water, methanol, ethanol, and acetic acid. Preferably the solvent used is a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent. Non-limiting examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable solvents include water, ethanol, and acetic acid. Most preferably the solvent used is water.
As used herein, the term “physiologically functional derivative” refers to any pharmaceutically acceptable derivative of a compound of the present invention that, upon administration to a mammal, is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound of the present invention or an active metabolite thereof. Such derivatives, for example, esters and amides, will be clear to those skilled in the art, without undue experimentation. Reference may be made to the teaching of Burger's Medicinal
Chemistry And Drug Discovery, 5% Edition, Vol 1: Principles and Practice, which is incorporated herein by reference to the extent that it teaches physiologically functional derivatives.
As used herein, the term "effective amount” means that amount of a drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue,
system, animal, or human that is being sought, for instance, by a researcher or clinician. The term “therapeutically effective amount” means any amount which, as compared to a corresponding subject who has not received such amount, results in improved treatment, healing, prevention, or amelioration of a disease, disorder, or side effect, or a decrease in the rate of advancement of a disease or disorder. The term also includes within its scope amounts effective to enhance normal physiological function. For use in therapy, therapeutically effective amounts of a compound of formula (1), as well as salts, solvates, and physiological functional derivatives thereof, may be administered as the raw chemical. Additionally, the active ingredient may be presented as a pharmaceutical composition.
Accordingly, the invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions that include effective amounts of compounds of the formula (I) and salts, solvates, and physiological functional derivatives thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The compounds of formula (I) and salts, solvates, and physiologically functional derivatives thereof, are as herein described.
The carrier(s), diluent(s) or excipient(s) must be acceptable, in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient of the pharmaceutical composition. in accordance with another aspect of the invention there is also provided a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical formulation including admixing a compound of the formula (1) or salts, solvates, and physiological functional derivatives thereof, with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients.
A therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention will depend upon a number of factors. For example, the species, age, and weight of the recipient, the precise condition requiring treatment and its severity, the nature of the formulation, and the route of administration are all factors to be considered. The therapeutically effective amount ultimately should be at the discretion of the attendant physician or veterinarian. Regardless, an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) for the treatment of humans suffering from frailty, generally, should be in the range of 0.1 to 100 mg/kg body weight of recipient (mammal) per day. More usually the effective amount should be in the range of 1 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day.
Thus, for a 70 kg adult mammal the actual amount per day would usually be from 70 to 700 mg. This amount may be given in a single dose per day or in a number (such as two, three, four, five, or more) of sub-doses per day such that the total daily dose is the same. An effective amount of a salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof, may be determined as a proportion of the effective amount of the compound of formula (I) per se. Similar dosages should be appropriate for treatment of the other conditions referred to herein.
Pharmaceutical formulations may be presented in unit dose forms containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient per unit dose. Such a unit may contain, as a non-limiting example, 0.5mg to 1g of a compound of the formula (1), depending on the condition being treated, the route of administration, and the age, weight, and condition of the patient. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Such pharmaceutical formulations may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the pharmacy art.
Pharmaceutical formulations may be adapted for administration by any appropriate route, for example by an oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual or transdermal), vaginal, or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intradermal) route. Such formulations may be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy, for example by bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier(s) or excipient(s). By way of example, and not meant to limit the invention, with regard to certain conditions and disorders for which the compounds of the present invention are believed useful certain routes will be preferable to others. Based upon the physical manifestations that are often associated with HPV infection, rectal, topical, or vaginal routes of administration may be preferable. As one example, for the treatment or prophylaxis of cervical dysplasia the preferred route may be a vaginal route.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions, each with aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or whips; or oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil liquid emulsions. For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Generally, powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with an appropriate pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate, as, for example, starch or mannitol. Flavorings, preservatives, dispersing agents, and coloring agents can also be present.
Capsules are made by preparing a powder, liquid, or suspension mixture and encapsulating with gelatin or some other appropriate shell material. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the mixture before the encapsulation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested. Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Examples of suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth, or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like. Lubricants useful in these dosage forms include, for example, sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl! cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like.
Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant, and pressing into tablets.
A powder mixture may be prepared by mixing the compound, suitably comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above. Optional ingredients include binders such as carboxymethylcellulose, aliginates, gelatins, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, solution retardants such as paraffin, resorption accelerators such as a quaternary salt, and/or absorption agents such as bentonite, kaolin, or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be wet-granulated with a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acadia mucilage or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials, and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet-forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compounds of the present invention can also be combined with a free flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material, and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.
Oral fluids such as solutions, syrups, and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound.
Syrups can be prepared, for example, by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored agueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a non-toxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated generally by dispersing the compound in a non-toxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxy ethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives; flavor additives such as peppermint oil, or natural sweeteners, saccharin, or other artificial sweeteners; and the like can also be added.
Where appropriate, dosage unit formulations for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release as for example by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax or the like.
The compounds of formula (1) and salts, solvates, and physiological functional derivatives thereof,.can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, suchas cholesterol, stearylamine, or phosphatidylcholines.
The compounds of formula (I) and salts, solvates, and physiologically functional derivatives thereof may also be delivered by the use of monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled.
The compounds may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamide—phenol, polyhydroxyethyl- aspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxidepolylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug; for example, polylactic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates, and cross-linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for transdermal administration may be presented as discrete patches intended to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period of time. For example, the active ingredient may be delivered from the patch by iontophoresis as generally described in Pharmaceutical Research, 3(6), 318 (1986), incorporated herein by reference as related to such delivery systems.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administration may be formulated as ointments, creams, suspensions, lotions, powders, solutions, pastes, gels, sprays, aerosols, or oils.
For treatments of the eye or other external tissues, for example mouth and skin, the formulations may be applied as a topical ointment or cream. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredient may be employed with either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base or a water-in-oil base.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administrations to the eye include eye drops wherein the active ingredient is dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges, pastilles, and mouthwashes.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for nasal administration, where the carrier is a solid, include a coarse powder having a particle size for example in the range 20 to 500 microns. The powder is administered in the manner in which snuff is taken, i.e., by rapid inhalation through the nasal passage from a container of the powder held close up to the nose. Suitable formulations wherein the carrier is a liquid, for administration as a nasal spray or as nasal drops, include aqueous or oil solutions of the active ingredient.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for administration by inhalation include fine particle dusts or mists, which may be generated by means of various types of metered dose pressurized aerosols, nebulizers, or insufflators.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for rectal administration may be presented as suppositories or as enemas.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or spray formulations.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and solutes that render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqusous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injections, immediately prior touse. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets.
In addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question. For example, formulations suitable for oral administration may include flavoring or coloring agents.
The compounds of the present invention and their salts, solvates, and physiologically functional derivatives thereof, may be employed alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents. The compound(s) of formula (I) and the other pharmaceutically active agent(s) may be administered together or separately and, when administered separately, administration may occur simultaneously or sequentially, in any order. The amounts of the compound(s) of formula (1) and the other pharmaceutically active agent(s) and the relative timings of administration will be selected in order to achieve the desired combined therapeutic effect. The administration in combination of a compound of formula (J) salts, solvates, or physiologically functional derivatives thereof with other treatment agents may be in combination by administration concomitantly in: (1) a unitary pharmaceutical composition including both compounds; or (2) separate pharmaceutical compositions each including one of the compounds. Alternatively, the combination may be administered separately in a sequential manner wherein one treatment agent is administered first and the other second or vice versa. Such sequential administration may be close in time or remote in time.
The compounds of the present invention may be used in the treatment of a variety of disorders and conditions and, as such, the compounds of the present invention may be used in combination with a variety of other suitable therapeutic agents useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of those disorders or conditions.
Treatment will depend upon the nature and type of HPV infection. As discussed briefly above, treatment for warts can be divided into ablative and medical approaches. The compounds of the present invention may be combined with either or both approaches.

The compounds of this invention may be made by a variety of methods, including well-known standard synthetic methods. Illustrative general synthetic methods are set out below and then specific compounds of the invention are prepared in the working Examples.
In all of the examples described below, protecting groups for sensitive or reactive groups are employed where necessary in accordance with general principles of synthetic chemistry. Protecting groups are manipulated according to standard methods of organic synthesis (T. W. Green and P. G. M. Wuts (1991) Protecting
Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, incorporated by reference with regard to protecting groups). These groups are removed at a convenient stage of the compound synthesis using methods that are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The selection of processes as well as the reaction conditions and order of their execution shall be consistent with the preparation of compounds of formula (1).
Those skilled in the art will recognize if a stereocenter exists in compounds of formula (1). Accordingly, the present invention includes all possible stereoisomers and includes not only racemic compounds but the individual enantiomers as well.
When a compound Is desired as a single enantiomer, such may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis, by resolution of the final product or any convenient intermediate, or by chiral chromatographic methods as are known in the art.
Resolution of the final product, an intermediate, or a starting material may be effected by any suitable method known in the art. See, for example, Stereochemistry of
Organic Compounds by E. L. Eliel, S. H. Wilen, and L. N. Mander (Wiley-
Interscience, 1994), incorporated by reference with regard to stereochemistry.

BIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTALS AND DATA
Compounds of the current invention are believed useful in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions and diseases associated with HPV infection. Activity mediated through HPV was determined using the following W-12 cellular assay.
Cell culture and medium
The W12 cell line used contains HPV16 DNA and was derived from a low-grade cervical dysplasia tissue by Margaret Stanley and subsequently clonally selected by
Paul Lambert (University of Wisconsin). One of these clones, W12-20850, contains 1000 copies of episomal HPV16 DNA and was used in the cell-based assay. W12- 20850 cells were routinely cultured with a gamma-irradiated (6000 rads) feeder layer of 3T3 cells. Assays, however, were run in the absence of a 3T3 feeder layer. W12- 20850 and 3T3 cells were routinely split when they were sub-confluent. W12-20850 were grown in W12 Medium which is constituted of 25% DMEM (Gibco BRL, Cat # 12430-047), 75% F12 Media (Gibco BRL, Cat # 11765-021) and 2.5% FBS. The additives include 24.0 mg/ml Adenine (Sigma, Cat # A-9795), 0.4 mg/ml
Hydrocortisone (Calbiochem, Cat # 386698), 5.0 mg/mi Bovine Insulin (Sigma, Cat #
I-1882), 8.4 ng/ml cholera toxin (Fluka, Cat # 26694) and 10 ng/ml EGF (Invitrogen,
Cat # 13247-051). 3T3 cells were grown in DMEM containing 10% FBS. Cell lines were incubated at 37°C, in the presence of 5% CO..
Cell based assay
For the assay, W12-20850 cells were seeded into a 96 well plate-containing compound. Plates were incubated at 37°C in the presence of 5% COx, for four days.
On the fourth day, cells were lysed and the amount of episomal HPV-16 DNA was quantified using a non-radioactive hybrid capture technique with HPV-16 specific capture and detection probes. The percent inhibition relative to untreated control cells was then determined.
Hybrid capture
The hybrid capture assay is run in a 96 well plate format. Hybridization plates (Nunc
Maxisorb Cat # 450320) were coated with a mixture of capture probe and ReactiBind solution for at least 4 hours and then washed with 0.2X SSC, 0.05% Tween20 (SSCT) prior to blocking with 150 pliwell of 0.2 N NaOH, 1% Igepal, 10 mg/ml hsDNA for 6-8 hours. The hybridization was carried out by mixing 27 i of lysed cells with 45 pl of denatured detection probe in 6M guanidine isothiocyanate. To prevent evaporation, 50 pl of mineral oil was added to each well. The plate was then heated to 90°C for 6.5 minutes and the hybridization continued at 42°C overnight. Assay plates were washed 6 times with SSC/T. Anti-digoxigenin HRP-conjugated Ab (Boehringer Mannheim 1207733, 1:5000) was incubated in the wells for 30 min at room temperature and washed with PBS/0.05% Tween-20. SuperSignal LBA substrate (Pierce Cat # 37070) was added, and chemiluminescence was measured using Wallac 1420 Victor plate reader.
