Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a compound that is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, and to processes for the preparation and use of the same.
  • the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infection is disclosed which includes the administration of a benzophenone derivative.
  • HIV human immunodeficiency virus
  • AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • ARC AIDS-related complex
  • HIV is a retrovirus; the conversion of its RNA to DNA is accomplished through the action of the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
  • Compounds that inhibit the function of reverse transcriptase inhibit replication of HIV in infected cells. Such compounds are useful in the prevention or treatment of HIV infection in humans.
  • NNRTIs Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
  • the NNRTIs interact with a specific site of HIV-I reverse transcriptase that is closely associated with, but distinct from, the NRTI binding site.
  • NNRTIs are notorious for rapidly eliciting resistance due to mutations of the amino acids surrounding the NNRTI-binding site (E. De Clercq, // Famaco 54, 26-45, 1999). Failure of long-term efficacy of NNRTIs is often associated with the emergence of drug-resistant virus strains (J. Balzarini, Biochemical Pharmacology, VoI 58, 1-27, 1999).
  • WO 02/070470, WO 01/17982, and US 2006/0025480 disclosed certain benzophenones as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. We have now discovered that the compounds of the present invention are useful as inhibitors of both wild type and mutant variants of HIV reverse transcriptase.

Description

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present invention claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Nos.
60/792,434 and 60/863,846 filed on April 17, 2006 and November 1, 2006, respectively.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a compound that is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, and to processes for the preparation and use of the same. In particular, the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infection is disclosed which includes the administration of a benzophenone derivative.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The human immunodeficiency virus ("HIV") is the causative agent for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ("AIDS"), a disease characterized by the destruction of the immune system, particularly of CD4+ T-cells, with attendant susceptibility to opportunistic infections, and its precursor AIDS-related complex ("ARC"), a syndrome characterized by symptoms such as persistent generalized lymphadenopathy, fever and weight loss. HIV is a retrovirus; the conversion of its RNA to DNA is accomplished through the action of the enzyme reverse transcriptase. Compounds that inhibit the function of reverse transcriptase inhibit replication of HIV in infected cells. Such compounds are useful in the prevention or treatment of HIV infection in humans.
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), in addition to the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors gained a definitive place in the treatment of HIV-I infections. The NNRTIs interact with a specific site of HIV-I reverse transcriptase that is closely associated with, but distinct from, the NRTI binding site. NNRTIs, however, are notorious for rapidly eliciting resistance due to mutations of the amino acids surrounding the NNRTI-binding site (E. De Clercq, // Famaco 54, 26-45, 1999). Failure of long-term efficacy of NNRTIs is often associated with the emergence of drug-resistant virus strains (J. Balzarini, Biochemical Pharmacology, VoI 58, 1-27, 1999). Moreover, the mutations that appear in the reverse transcriptase enzyme frequently result in a decreased sensitivity to other reverse transcriptase inhibitors, which results in cross- resistance. As antiviral use in therapy and prevention of HIV infection continues, the emergence of new resistant new strains is expected to increase. There is therefore an ongoing need for new inhibitors of reverse transcriptase, which have different patterns of effectiveness against the various mutants.
WO 02/070470, WO 01/17982, and US 2006/0025480 disclosed certain benzophenones as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. We have now discovered that the compounds of the present invention are useful as inhibitors of both wild type and mutant variants of HIV reverse transcriptase.

Any aryl moiety present in such esters advantageously comprises a phenyl group.
Ethers of the compounds of the present invention include, but are not limited to methyl, ethyl, butyl and the like.
As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute (in this invention, a compound of the present invention) 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.
For use in therapy, therapeutically effective amounts of a compound of the present invention 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 a compound of the present invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The compounds of the present invention 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 composition including admixing a compound of the present invention 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 composition, 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 the present invention 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 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day. The actual amount per day would usually be from 0.3 to 3,000 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 pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof may be determined as a proportion of the effective amount of a compound of the present invention per se. Similar dosages should be appropriate for treatment of the other conditions referred to herein. Pharmaceutical compositions 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, 0.5 mg to 1 g of a compound of the present invention, depending on the condition being treated, the route of administration, and the age, weight, and condition of the patient. Preferred unit dosage compositions are those containing a daily dose or sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Such pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the pharmacy art.
Pharmaceutical compositions 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 compositions 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).
Pharmaceutical compositions 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 may be combined with an oral, nontoxic 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 may 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 may be added to the mixture before the encapsulation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate may 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 may 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 may be 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 may 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 may be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules may 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 may 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 may be provided. Dyestuffs may be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.
Oral fluids such as solutions, syrups, and elixirs may be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound. Syrups may be prepared, for example, by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous solution, while elixirs may be prepared through the use of a non-toxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions may 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 may also be added. Where appropriate, dosage unit compositions for oral administration may be microencapsulated. The composition may 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 the present invention may also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes may be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine, or phosphatidylcholines. The compounds of the present invention 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 may 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 compositions 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 compositions 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 compositions may be applied as a topical ointment or cream. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredient may be employed with either a paraffϊnic 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 compositions 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 compositions adapted for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges, pastilles, and mouthwashes.
Pharmaceutical compositions 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 compositions 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 compositions 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 compositions adapted for rectal administration may be presented as suppositories or as enemas.
Pharmaceutical compositions adapted for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or spray formulations.
Pharmaceutical compositions 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 aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The compositions 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 to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets.
In addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the compositions may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question. For example, compositions suitable for oral administration may include flavoring or coloring agents.

Example 6: Biological Activity Inhibition of Viral Replication I. HeLa Cell Assay
The HeLa cell assay was performed according to a modifcation of Kimpton J. and Emerman M., Detection of replication-competent and pseudotyped human immunodeficiency virus with a sensitive cell line on the basis of activation of an integrated β-galactosidase gene, J. Virol. 66:2232-2239 (1992), in which HIV-I infection is detected by the activation of an HIV-LTR driven β-galactosidase reporter that is integrated into the genome of a CD4+ HeLa cell line. Quantitation of β -galactosidase is achieved by measuring the activation of a chemiluminescent substrate (Applied Biosystems). The concentration of each compound required to inhibit 50% (IC50) of the HIV-I induced β -galactosidase signal, relative to untreated controls, was determined for each isogenic, recombinant virus.
A. Materials HeLa-CD4-LTR- β -gal cell line (AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program,
Division of AIDS, NIAID)
DMEM (GibcoBRL # 12430-047)
Trypsin-EDTA (GibcoBRL #25300-054)
Heat inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (Hyclone # SH30070.03) Geneticin (GibcoBRL # 10131 -035)
Hygromycin B (GibcoBRL #1687-010)
96-well, black, clear-bottom, tissue culture-treated plates (Costar # 3904)

Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) (ATCC # 741625) Gal-Screen Reporter Gene Assay System (Applied Biosystems # T 1030)
B. Growth and Maintenance of the CD4-HIV LTR- β -gal HeLa cell line. HeLa-CD4-LTR- β -gal cells are propagated in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum + 0.2 mg/ml geneticin + 0.1 mg/ml hygromycin B. Cells are split by standard trypsinization when confluency reaches 80% (roughly every 2 to 3 days).
C. Construction of HIV-I reverse transcriptase (RT) mutants
DNA encoding the HIV-I reverse transcriptase was subcloned from a M13 phage into a general shuttle vector, pBCSK+, as a -1.65 kbp EcoRI/Hindlll ended DNA fragment. The HIV DNA insert of the resulting plasmid, pRT2, was completely sequenced on both strands prior to use in site directed mutagenesis experiments. Specific amino acid replacements were made using Stratagene Quick Change reagents and mutagenic oligonucleotides from Oligos. Following mutagenesis, the entire mutant RT coding sequence was verified by sequencing both DNA strands.
D. Construction of isogenic HIV-I RT mutant virus Mutant HIV-I strains were isolated by a modified Recombinant Virus Assay
(Kellam P. and Larder B., Recombinant virus assay: a rapid, phenotypic assay for assessment of drug susceptibility of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 38:23-30, 1994). 1 X 107 MT4 T-cells (maintained in RPMI containing 10% fetal bovine serum, split 1 :5 every 5 to 6 days) were co-transfected with EcoRI/Hindlll digested mutant RT plasmid and Bst Ell-digested HIV- 1HXB2ΔRT DNA in the presence of DMRIE-C transfection reagent (Gibco) according to supplier's recommended protocol. Each mutant RT coding sequence was crossed into the RT-deleted HIV-I viral DNA backbone by in vivo homologous recombination. Transfected cell cultures were expanded and monitored until syncitia formation and CPE were extensive. Virus was harvested by clear spin of the culture supernatants and frozen at - 800C as primary stock. Recombinant progeny virus was sequenced in the RT region to confirm the mutant genotype. Virus stocks were further expanded by infection of MT4 cells, harvested and stored as frozen aliquots. Stocks were titered in HeLa MAGI cells for assay.
E. Titering of virus stocks. HIV-I virus stocks were titered in the HeLa-CD4-LTR- β-gal assay system to establish the appropriate infecting dose. The endpoint for this assay is relative light units (RLUs), and titer is recorded as RLUs/ml. Virus stocks are diluted (serial 1 :2) into DMEM containing 10% FBS plus 25ug/ml DEAE-dextran and assayed as described in the "Experimental Protocol" section below without test compound.
A "multiplicity of infection" (MOI) defined as infectious units per cell is usually not calculated but is typically «1.0. Relationship of RLUs/ml to other measures of infectivity such as HeLa PFU/ml or MT4 TCID50/ml may not be consistent from lot to lot or strain to strain and should be determined for each lot.
F. Experimental Protocol
Day 1 1. Seed 96-well plate(s) (Costar #3904) with HeLa-CD4-LTR- β-gal @ 3 X 103 cells per well in lOOul DMEM containing 10% FBS. Incubate @ 370C, 5% CO2 overnight.
Day 2 1. Thaw virus stock in a water bath (room temperature) and dilute into DMEM +10% FBS + 25ug/ml DEAE-dextran to an infectious dose of approximately 10 million RLU/ml. The dilution of virus will vary depending on the titer of the stock (see "Titering of virus stocks" above).
2. Remove all of the media from every well with an 8 or 12-channel manifold aspirator. Work with one plate at a time to prevent drying of the HeLa-CD4-LTR- β-gal monolayer. Add 35ul (approximately 350,000 total RLUs) of diluted virus to each well. Incubate @ 370C, 5% CO2 for 2 hours.
3. During the virus adsorption period prepare compound titration plates at 1.35X final concentration. In general, test compounds are titrated robotically in a four- fold stepwise manner from 2.7uM (2uM final) down to 0.0 InM (0.008nM final). This scheme will allow for 8 test compounds per 96-well plate with 10 dilution points and 2 controls per compound (n=l). Test compounds are titrated into DMEM + 10% FBS + 0.135% DMSO (0.1% final). The final volume of titrated compound in each well should be at least 150ul and DMSO should be at 0.135% (0.1% final) including the no compound controls.
4. Remove lOOul of titrated compound from every well of the titration plate prepared in step 3 above and add to the virus adsorption plate (step 2 above).
5. Incubate @ 370C, 5% CO2 for 72 hours.
Day 5
1. Reduce supernatants to 5OuL and add 5OuL of reconstituted Gal-Screen according to manufacturer's recommended protocol.
2. Mix plate(s) virgorously on a platform shaker.
3. Read plate(s) in a Topcount luminometer (Packard) at Is/well.
G. Data Analysis
Raw data are transformed into percent of control by the following formula: (raw signal in each well / average raw signal for the two no compound controls in the same row)* 100. Percent of control is plotted vs. compound concentration using either Robsage or Robofit programs (GSK). The default model is Y=Vmax*l-(xΛn/(KΛn+xΛn)), however, any other model giving a reasonable estimation of the IC50 ("K" in formula) may be used.
