AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about new compounds that can be used to treat viral infections in mammals. These compounds belong to a specific family of viruses called Flaviviridae. The invention is directed to compounds of Formula I, which have certain features that make them useful in treating these infections. The compounds can be used alone or in combination with other compounds to provide a more effective treatment. The invention also includes methods for making these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.

Problems solved by technology

Chronic infection with HCV is a major health problem associated with liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure.
Liver cirrhosis can ultimately lead to liver failure.
However, a number of patients still have significant side effects, primarily related to ribavirin.
However, none of the compounds described above have progressed beyond clinical trials.6,8

Preparation of 2-(2′-methyl-β-D-ribofuanosyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-2,3,5,6-tetraaza-benzo[cd]azulene (Compound 305)

[0375]

Step 1:

[0376]N-trifluoroacetyl propargylamine was synthesized as described in Tetrahedron Lett. 1988, Vol. 29, No. 41 pp. 5221-5224.

Step 2:

[0377]To a solution of the product from Example 1, Step 3 (125 mg, 0.294 mmol) in DMF (1.7 mL) and THF (5 mL) was added CuI (4.4 mg, 0.0231 mmol) and TEA (0.25 mL, 1.46 mmol). The mixture was degassed with argon under sonication for 2-3 minutes followed by the addition of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (4.4 mg, 0.00627 mmol) and 0.6 mL (6.86 mmol) of n-trifluoroacetyl propargylamine. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The following day, the reaction mixture was concentrated and purified on Phenomenex-C18 reverse phase HPLC with a 0-80% B gradient over 30 min at 10 mL / min (Buffer A=H2O, Buffer B=acetonitrile) to afford 100 mg; MS (M+1): 449.09.

Preparation of 2-(2′-methyl-β-D-ribofuanosyl)-9-methylamino-2,6-dihydro-2,3,5,6-tetraaza-benzo[cd]azulen-7-one (Compound 307)

[0381]

[0382]The product from Example 1, Step 5 (225 mg, 0.598 mmol) in methylamine (9 mL, 1 M in THF) was sealed in an autoclave bomb and heated to 80° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was taken up in 11.6 mL of 0.5 M NaOEt and heated to 80° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was concentrated and purified on Phenomenex-C18 reverse phase HPLC with a 0-40% B gradient over 20 min at 10 mL / min (Buffer A=H2O, Buffer B=acetonitrile) to afford 110 mg; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 0.76 (s, 3H), 2.82 (d, 3H, J=4.2) 3.72-3.98 (m, 4H), 4.81 (d, 1H), 4.88 (t, 1H) 5.24 (d, 1H, J=8.1), 5.25 (s, 1H), 6.20 (s, 1H), 7.08 (d, 1H, J=4.8), 7.80 (s, 1H), 8.32 (s, 1H), 10.16 (s, 1H); MS (M+1): 362.15.

Anti-Hepatitis C Activity

[0383]Compounds can exhibit anti-hepatitis C activity by inhibiting HCV polymerase, by inhibiting other enzymes needed in the replication cycle, or by other pathways. A number of assays have been published to assess these activities. A general method that assesses the gross increase of HCV virus in culture was disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,738,985 to Miles et al. In vitro assays have been reported in Ferrari et al. Jnl. of Vir., 73:1649-1654, 1999; Ishii et al., Hepatology, 29:1227-1235, 1999; Lohmann et al., Jnl of Bio. Chem., 274:10807-10815, 1999; and Yamashita et al., Jnl. of Bio. Chem., 273:15479-15486, 1998.

[0384]WO 97 / 12033, filed on Sep. 27, 1996, by Emory University, listing C. Hagedorn and A. Reinoldus as inventors, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 004,383, filed on September 1995, described an HCV polymerase assay that can be used to evaluate the activity of the of the compounds described herein. Another HCV ...
