Benefits of technology

[0006] Thus, an object of this invention is to discover small-molecule compounds that are especially potent antipicornaviral agents. A further object of the invention is to provide intermediates useful for the synthesis of said protease-inhibiting compounds and synthetic methods useful for such syntheses. A yet further object of the invention is to achieve pharmaceutical compositions that are highly effective for treating maladies mediated by inhibition of picornaviral 3C proteases, such as the common cold.
[0007] Such objects have been attained through the discovery of compounds of the invention, which are picornaviral 3C protease inhibitors displaying particularly strong antiviral activity. It has surprisingly been discovered that peptido and peptidomimetic compounds containing a five-membered heterocyclic group have high rhinoviral-protease-inhibiting activity. It has further been surprisingly found that the rhinoviral-protease-inhibiting activity of peptido and peptidomimetic compounds may be significantly enhanced by replacing a glutamine-like moiety found in some known rhinoviral-protease-inhibiting compounds with a side-chain comprising a gamma- or delta-lactam.

Problems solved by technology

To date, there are no effective therapies on the market that cure the common cold, only treatments that relieve the symptoms.

Preparation of Comparison Compound #1: 5-(3′-(Cbz-L-Leu-L-Phe-L-Gln)-E-Propene)-isoxazole

[0183]

Preparation of Intermediate Cbz-L-(Tr-Gln)-OMe

[0184] Cbz-L-(Tr-Gln) (0.26 g, 0.50 mmol, 1 equiv.) was added to a solution of acetyl chloride (0.25 mL, 3.52 mmol, 7.0 equiv.) in CH3OH (5 mL), and stirring was continued at 23° C. for 1 h (hour). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) and washed with water (100 mL), saturated NaHCO3 (100 mL), and brine (100 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and was concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (20% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford Cbz-L-(Tr-Gln)-OMe (0.23 g, 84% yield) as a white solid: mp=139-140° C.; IR (cm−1) 1742, 1207; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 1.16 (t, 1H, J=7.0), 1.77 (m, 1H), 1.97 (m, 1H), 3.61 (s, 3H), 4.99 (m, 1H), 5.03 (s, 2H), 7.02-7.55 (m, 20H), 7.69 (d, 1H, J=7.7), 8.59 (s, 1H); Anal.

Preparation of Compound A-1: Ethyl-3-((5′-Methylisoxazole-3′-carbonyl)-L-Leu-L-Phe-L-Gin)-E-Propenoate

[0191]

Preparation of Intermediate Boc-L-(Tr-Gln)-N(OMe)Me

[0192] Isobutyl chloroformate (4.77 mL, 36.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was added to a solution of Boc-L-(Tr-Gln)-OH (18.7 g, 36.7 mmol, 1 equiv.) and 4-methylmorpholine (8.08 mL, 73.5 mmol, 2.0 equiv.) in CH2Cl2 (250 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min. (minutes), then N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (3.60 g, 36.7 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min. and at 23° C. for 2 hours (h), and then was partitioned between water (150 mL) and CH2Cl2 (2×150 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, and were concentrated. Purification of the residue by flash column chromatography (gradient elution, 40-20% hexanes in EtOAc) provided Boc-L-(Tr-Gln)-N(OMe)Me (16.1 g, 82% yield) as a white foam: IR (cm−1) 3411, 3329, 3062, 1701, 1659; 1H NMR (CDCl3) ...
