AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about new compounds that can prevent or treat HIV infections. Specifically, it relates to 4′-substituted nucleoside derivatives that can inhibit the activity of HIV reverse transcriptase. The invention also provides a process for making these compounds and certain intermediates that are useful in this process. This invention can help in the development of effective treatments for HIV and AIDS.

Problems solved by technology

Affected individuals exhibit severe immunosuppression which makes them highly susceptible to debilitating and ultimately fatal opportunistic infections.
A particular problem is the development of mutant HIV strains that are resistant to the known inhibitors.
The published routes to EFdA have drawbacks with respect to production of multi-kilogram quantities of drug substance required for further studies.
In particular, some of the published routes use the chiral starting material (R)-glyceraldehyde acetonide, which is not readily available at large scale and is also prone to stereochemical erosion.
In addition, the published routes lack a sufficient number of crystalline intermediates to enable purity control without resort to chromatographic purification.
The published routes also use hazardous or impractical reagents, and synthetic methods that are not optimized for large-scale implementation due to the reagents' toxicities or the methods' hazards.

Step 1: Synthesis of 2,4-dichloro-5-fluoro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine

[0201]2,4-dichloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1 g, 5.32 mmol) was massed into a 250 mL round-bottom flask and dried over P2O5 under vacuum overnight. To this were injected acetonitrile (60 mL) and acetic acid (12 mL) at room temperature, followed by the addition of 1-(chloromethyl)-4-fluoro-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium tetrafluoroborate (2.64 g, 7.45 mmol) under argon atmosphere. The mixture was heated to 70° C. and stirred for 36 hours. The resulting mixture was cooled to 25° C., diluted with DCM (150 mL), washed with water (2×50 mL) and brine (2×50 mL) successively. The organic layer was collected, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. silica gel column using ethyl acetate / petroleum ether (0% to 20% Et...

Synthesis of Ammonium ((2R,3S,5R)-5-(4-amino-2-chloro-5-fluoro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)-2-ethynyl-3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl Triphosphate (2)

[0223]

Step 1: Synthesis of 2-((4,4,6,6-tetraoxido-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphinan-2-yl)oxy)benzoate

[0224]In a glove box under an argon atmosphere, dry tributylamine (0.4 ml, 1.679 mmol) was added to the flask containing tributylammonium pyrophosphate (112 mg, 0.205 mmol) dissolved in 0.4 mL dimethylformamide (DMF) to give a clear solution. The clear solution was then injected into the flask containing dry 2-chloro-4H-benzo[d][1,3,2]dioxaphosphinin-4-one (27.6 mg, 0.136 mmol) in dimethylformamide (0.4 mL) under vigorous stirring. The resulting mixture was stirred at 30° C. for 30 min to give 2-((4,4,6,6-tetraoxido-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphinan-2-yl)oxy)benzoate which was used to the next reaction directly without any work-up.

[0227]To a stirred solution of 2-fluoro-7H-purin-6-amine (4.79 g, 31.3 mmol) in MeCN (210 mL) was added N, O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (35.3 mL, 144 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 81° C. and stirred for 1 hour. The resulting solution was cooled to room temperature and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (7.84 mL, 43.3 mmol) was added, followed by acetonitrile (105 mL). To the above was added a solution of (2R,3S)-5-acetoxy-2-ethynyl-2-(((4-methylbenzoyl)oxy)methyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl 4-methylbenzoate (10.5 g, 24.06 mmol) in MeCN (100 mL) over 2 hours.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to 4′-substituted nucleoside derivatives of Formula Iand their use in the inhibition of HIV reverse transcriptase, the prophylaxis of infection by HIV, the treatment of infection by HIV, and the prophylaxis, treatment, and delay in the onset or progression of AIDS and / or ARC. The present invention also provides processes for the preparation of 4′-substituted nucleoside derivatives of Formula I and derivatives thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The retrovirus designated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), particularly the strains known as HIV type-1 (HIV-1) and type-2 (HIV-2), have been etiologically linked to the immunosuppressive disease known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV seropositive individuals are initially asymptomatic but typically develop AIDS related complex (ARC) followed by AIDS. Affected individuals exhibit severe immunosuppression which makes them highly susceptible to debilitating and ultimately fatal opportunistic infections. Replication of HIV by a host cell requires integration of the viral genome into the host cell's DNA. Since HIV is a retrovirus, the HIV replication cycle requires transcription of the viral RNA genome into DNA via an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase (RT).[0002]Reverse transcriptase has three known enzymatic functions: The enzyme acts as an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, as a ribonuclease, and as a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. In...
