AI Technical Summary
Current antiviral drugs for herpes simplex infections, such as nucleosides and thiazolylamides, suffer from off-target carbonic anhydrase activity, unusual pharmacokinetic profiles, and resistance issues, limiting their effectiveness and safety.
Development of novel antiviral compounds with specific stereoconfiguration, particularly enantiomers, that lack or significantly reduce carbonic anhydrase activity, offering improved solubility and pharmacokinetic profiles, including enantiomers with negative optical rotation that exhibit enhanced potency and exposure in vitro.
These compounds demonstrate at least twice the potency in vitro compared to their counterparts with positive optical rotation and show superior pharmacokinetic profiles, making them suitable for clinical development and use as antiviral drugs.
Abstract
Description
New enantiomers of a series of antiviral compounds SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to novel antiviral compounds with specific stereoconfiguration, especially to specific novel enantiomers, to a process for their preparation and to their use as medicaments, in particular as antiviral medicaments. INTRODUCTION Viral pandemics have plagued humanity since antiquity, causing mucocutaneous infections such as cold sores and genital herpes. The symptoms of these diseases often interfere with daily activities, and occasionally HSV infections cause encephalopathy (encephalitis) or eye diseases (keratitis), especially in newborns, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients such as transplant recipients, cancer patients, or patients with inherited immunodeficiency syndromes or diseases. After infection, alphaherpesviridae viruses persist for life in the host's neurons in a latent form, reactivating periodically and often causing significant psychosocial distress for the patient. Currently, there is no cure available. To date, vaccines, intereukins, interferons, therapeutic proteins, antibodies, immunomodulators, and small molecule drugs with specific or non-specific modes of action lacked the efficacy or safety profile required to replace drugs. PABLO SCHMUKLER - 20117733352 ' Digitally signed by PORTALTRAMITES - INPI Date: 2018.10.19 11:30:55 -03:00 Reason: Digitally Signed by the INPI Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina. Nucleoside drugs acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir are the first-line treatment. The known thiazolamides are the most potent drugs currently under development. These antiviral agents act through a novel mechanism of action and exhibit low rates of resistance in vitro and superior efficacy in animal models compared to nucleoside drugs; however, their development is hampered by off-target carbonic anhydrase activity and an unusual pharmacokinetic profile. This patent application describes novel antiviral compounds that lack (or at least have a significant reduction in) carbonic anhydrase activity, exhibiting improved solubility and a pharmacokinetic profile suitable for use as a drug.

The present invention now discloses novel antiviral compounds with specific stereoconfiguration according to Formula (1a) and (1b) as described herein, novel specific enantiomers, as well as strikingly superior characteristics thereof, and further provides a process for preparing them from a mixture of stereoisomers of the general Formula (1)(1) as described herein. Furthermore, similar to the mixture comprising the stereoisomers of the compounds of the present invention, likewise the novel isolated enantiomers show absence of off-target carbonic anhydrase activity or at least significantly reduced activity at increased solubility and have been found to act more actively in treating viral infections, such as, in particular, herpes simplex virus. Even more surprisingly, enantiomers with a specific counterclockwise, levorotatory, or negative optical rotation in a polarimeter or CD spectra that elute first from a defined chiral HPLC column are at least a factor of 2 more potent in vitro than the respective enantiomers that show a clockwise, dextrorotatory, or positive optical rotation in a polarimeter that elute last from a defined chiral HPLC column. Surprisingly, enantiomers with a specific negative rotation show higher exposures in the pharmacokinetic profile compared to the respective mixture of stereoisomers or the racemate or the respective enantiomer with a specific positive rotation. The optimized pharmacokinetic profile of selected stereoisomers leads to profound antiviral activity in treated mammals, suitable for clinical development in humans and use as a drug.

Preparation of enantiomers The enantiomers according to the present invention can be prepared by separating and isolating the respective stereoselective compounds from the products resulting from non-stereoselective synthesis routes, thus comprising a mixture of the respective enantiomers, by preparative HPLC on a chiral column, as, for example, described in Examples 7, 7a, 7b and 7c below. Furthermore, it is possible to prepare the enantiomers as described herein by stereoselective synthesis and, if necessary, subsequent preparative HPLC on a chiral column or precipitation with chiral compounds, etc. Furthermore, the enantiomers can be prepared as described herein via stereoselective synthetic routes. The most common chiral tetracoordinate sulfur compounds are sulfoximines, which formally arise from asymmetric sulfones by replacing one of the two oxygen atoms with an imino nitrogen. Consequently, substituting both oxygen atoms in asymmetric sulfones with different imino groups leads to other chiral, tetracoordinate structures, namely sulfodiimides. Of interest is the fact that optically active chiral sulfonimidoyl chlorides have also been obtained. Due to the presence of a good leaving group, these chlorides are excellent substrates for the nucleophilic substitution reaction and provide the corresponding esters and amides in a highly stereoselective manner. It is also possible to synthesize optically active sulfoximines from optically active sulfoxides. The review Chem. Lett. 2004:33.482 summarizes the routes for the synthesis of sulfoximines. A recent publication in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016: 55,7203 summarizes the state of the art of sulfoximine synthesis.

In practical use, the compounds used in the present invention can be combined as the active ingredient in an intimate mixture with a pharmaceutical vehicle according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The vehicle can take a wide variety of forms depending on the desired form of administration, for example, oral or parenteral (including intravenous). In the preparation of compositions for oral dosage forms, any of the usual pharmaceutical media can be used, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and the like in the case of liquid oral preparations, such as, for example, suspensions, elixirs, and solutions; or vehicles such as...starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of solid oral preparations such as, for example, powders, hard and soft capsules and tablets, solid oral preparations being preferred over liquid preparations.

If desired, tablets can be coated using standard aqueous or non-aqueous techniques. Such compositions and preparations must contain at least 0.1 percent of the active compound. The percentage of active compound in these compositions can, of course, be varied and can conveniently range from approximately 2 percent to approximately 60 percent of the unit weight. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that an effective dosage will be achieved. Active compounds can also be administered intranasally, for example, as liquid drops or sprays, or as eye drops. Tablets, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain a binder such as tragacanth gum, gum arabic, corn starch, or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, or alginic acid; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose, or saccharin.

The compounds used in the present invention can also be administered parenterally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant, such as hydroxypropyl cellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof, and in oils. Under normal storage and use conditions, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Suitable dosage forms for injection include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the dosage form must be sterile and fluid to the extent that it allows for easy injection. It must be stable under manufacturing and storage conditions and protected from contamination by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The vehicle may be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.

Accordingly, the present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more of the novel compounds of the present invention as described herein and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle and / or excipient and / or at least one additional active ingredient that is effective in treating a disease or disorder associated with viral infections (antiviral active compounds). EXPERIMENTAL PART The mixtures comprising the compounds of the present invention 10 according to Formula (a) and (Ib) and as described in any of the prior embodiments, used in step a) of the process of the present invention as described above, can be prepared by a combination of methods known in the art including the procedures described in Schemes I to III of International Application No. 15 published PCT / EP2017 / 058077 and comprising additional details as set forth below. The synthesis of the acid building block R7(CR5,R6')nCR5R6COOH can be carried out as described in WO2001 / 47904 and coupled to the appropriate thiazole building block. Coupling the acid building block R7(CR5'Re')nCR5R6COOH with a 5-sulfonic acid-substituted thiazole can provide the intermediate lia (Scheme II), which can be converted to sulfonyl chloride llb by treatment with oxalyl chloride. Reaction of this intermediate with NHR2R3 and triphenylphosphine gives the target compound lie, which can then be oxidized, for example, with tert-butyl hypochlorite in the presence of NH2R8 to give the target compound lid. An alternative route to lid derivatives using readily available sulfonimides is described in Y. Chen et al. (RSC Advances 2015:5,4171) using nucleophilic substitution of sulfonimidoyl chloride formed in situ with different amines. Additional routes for lid derivatives are described in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013:52,9399 and ChemMedChem 2013:8,1067. Scheme II The coupling of the acid building block R7(CR5,R6')nCR5R6COOH with a 5-alkylthio-substituted thiazole can provide intermediate IIa (Scheme III), which can be oxidized to the alkylsulfinyl derivative IIb. Likewise, oxidation of intermediate IIa with the azide derivative N3R8 and FeCl2 can provide the sulfinimidoyl derivative IIe, which can be further oxidized, for example with Na2O3 to provide the sulfonimidoyl derivative IId. In the case where R8 represents a cyano moiety, an alternative route can also be used as outlined in SJ Park et al. (ChemMedChem 2013:8,217) (H2NCN, Phl(OAc)2, then mefaCPBA). Yo Scheme III In all cases, R2R3o R8 can serve as a protecting group and can be deprotected in a manner similar to that described in, for example, 5 Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (ISBN: 978-1-118-05748-3). The compounds of the invention have a chiral sulfur atom attached to the thiazole ring, giving rise to two enantiomers, which have either an R or S configuration at the sulfur atom and which are the subject of the present invention. In particular, this is the case for the S-substituted sulfoximines as represented in Scheme IV: the Ib Illa lllb S-enantiomer R-enantiomer Scheme IV The general fragment structures Ia and Ib are pairs of enantiomers. In the case of R9, it is an alkyl group, for example, methyl, and R8 is a proton, as represented in fragment structures Illa and lllb. Illa has the S configuration, and lllb has the R configuration. The homochiral compounds of the invention can be prepared by separating the racemic mixture by chromatography on a chiral stationary phase, for example, using HPLC or SCF technology with an appropriate chiral stationary phase (chiral column material) and appropriate mobile phases, under appropriate conditions such as flow rate, pressure, and temperature. Alternatively, the homochiral compounds of the present invention can be prepared by classical resolution, using the formation of an appropriate diastereomeric salt, subsequent recrystallization, and final release of the free base. Furthermore, a racemic mixture of chiral sulfoximines can be resolved into its enantiomers by organocatalytic kinetic resolution as described in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016:138,2166. Alternatively, the homochiral compounds of the present invention can be prepared by stereoselective synthesis, resulting in enantho-enriched final compounds that can be recrystallized to provide enantiopure homochiral compounds. It is also possible to synthesize optically active sulfoximines from optically active sulfoxides. The review in Chem. Lett. 2004:33.482 summarizes routes for the synthesis of sulfoximines. A recent publication in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016:55,7203 summarizes the state of the art for the synthesis of sulfoximines. In the reaction schemes, the remaining substituents may have the meaning defined in the present invention.

The 'H NMR and MS data correspond to Example 10a. Biological assays The novel compounds according to the invention exhibit a surprisingly broad spectrum of activity. They display not only antiviral activity, especially against members of the Herpesviridae family, particularly herpes simplex virus (HSV), but also improved solubility and reduced carbonic anhydrase activity. These compound characteristics lead to an enhanced pharmacokinetic profile for the novel compounds of the present invention and, consequently, to profound antiviral activity in vivo. Therefore, they are suitable for the treatment and prophylaxis of disorders caused by viruses, especially herpesviruses, and in particular, disorders caused by herpes simplex virus. The new compounds according to the invention exhibit a surprising and unpredictable reduced carbonic anhydrase activity. The new compounds according to the invention exhibit a surprising and unpredictable reduced carbonic anhydrase activity, in particular, reduced or unprovoked side effects from carbonic anhydrase activity, such as urothelial hyperplasia or diuretic pharmacological activity (G. Durand-Cavagna et al. Fund. Appl. Toxico!. 1992:18,137). The increased solubility improves the formulation of compounds, enhances the characteristics of ADME, and especially the formulations used for intravenous applications. Aqueous solubility (PBS, pH 7.4) was determined at Eurofins, Cerep, Panlabs according to CA Lipinski et al. Adv. Drug Del. Rev. 1997:46,3. In vitro activity Viruses and cells: HSV (HSV-1 Walki, HSV-1F, HSV-2 MS, clinical HSV isolates, and HSV-resistant strains) were cultured in Vero cells (ATCC CCL-81) under the following conditions: Cells were cultured in M199 medium (5% fetal terephthalene serum, 2 mM glutamine, 100 µL / mL penicillin, 100 pg / mL streptomycin) in cell culture flasks at 37 °C and 5% CO₂. Cells were divided twice weekly (1:4). For infection, the medium was removed, cells were washed with Hank's solution, separated using 0.05% trypsin and 0.02% EDTA, and incubated at a density of 4 × 10⁵ cells / mL under the above conditions for 24 hours. The medium was removed and the virus solution was added at a moi of <0.05 in a volume of 2 ml per 175 cm2 surface. Infected cells were incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for 1 hour and then the medium was made up to a volume of 50 ml per 175 cm2 bottle.Three days after infection, the cultures showed clear signs of a cytopathic effect. The virus was released by freezing (80 °C) and thawing (37 °C) the infected cultures twice. Cell debris was removed by centrifugation (300 g, 10 minutes, 4 °C) and the supernatant was frozen in aliquots at -80 °C. The virus titer was determined using a plaque assay. For this purpose, Vero cells were seeded in 24-well plates at 4 x 10⁵ cells per well and, after 24 hours of incubation (37 °C, 5% CO₂), infected with 100 µL of inoculum (dilutions (10⁻² to 10¹²) of the virus stock). One hour after infection, the medium was removed and the cells were coated with 1 mL of coating medium (0.5% methylcellulose, 0.22% sodium bicarbonate, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 µL / mL penicillin, 100 pg / mL streptomycin, 5% fetal bovine serum in MEM-Eagle medium with Earl's salt) and incubated for 3 days in a cell incubator at (37 °C, 5% CO₂). The cells were fixed using 4% formalin for 1 hour, washed with water, stained with Giemsa for 30 minutes, and then washed and dried. Using a plate viewer, the virus titer was determined. The stocks used for the experiments had a titer of 1 x 10⁵ / ml to 1 x 10⁸ / ml. The antiviral activity was determined using a patented (DE10235967 and W02004 / 015416) and subsequently published (G. Kleymann et al. J. Biomol. Screen. 2004;9,578) activity selectivity assay in 96- or 384-well microtiter plates using various cell lines of neuronal, lymphoid, and epithelial origin, such as, for example, Vero (African green monkey kidney cells), MEF (murine embryonic fibroblasts), HELF (human embryonic fibroblasts), NT2 (human neuronal cell line), or Jurkat (human lymphoid T cell line). The relevant experimental details from the aforementioned patent and publication for evaluating the antiviral activity of the invention (disclosed compounds) are described below. The effect of the substances on the spread of the cytopathogenic effect was determined in comparison with the reference compound acyclovir-sodium (ZoviraxTM), a clinically approved anti-herpes chemotherapeutic agent.The compounds (50 mM stock solution diluted in DMSO) are examined in microtiter plates (e.g., 96-well flat-bottom cell culture plates) at a final concentration of 250 to 0.5 μM or, in the case of potent antiviral compounds, from 250 to 0.5 nM in 2 to 4 replicates (4 to 2 substances per plate). Toxic and cytostatic effects or precipitation of the compounds are also examined. After appropriate dilution of the compounds (1:2) in the microtiter plate in the appropriate medium (100 μL), a cell suspension (50 μL, 1 x 10⁴ cells per well), such as, for example, Vero cells in M199 (medium 199 with 5% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine and, optionally, 100 IU / ml penicillin and 100 pg / ml streptomycin) or MEF or HELF cells in EMEM (Eagle minimal essential medium with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine and, optionally, 100 IU / ml penicillin and 100 pg / ml streptomycin) or NT2 and Jurkat cells in DMEM ((4,5 mg / L glucose plus pyridoxine) with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, non-essential amino acids, and optionally 100 IU / mL penicillin and 100 pg / mL streptomycin) are added to each well, and the cells in the relevant wells are infected with the appropriate amount of virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2, which has an MOI (multiplicity of infection) of 0.0025 for Vero, HELF, and MEF cells, and an MOI of 0.1 for NT2 and Jurkat cells). The plates were then incubated at 37 °C in a CO2 cell incubator (5% CO2) for several days. After this time, the cellular grass of, for example, Vero cells in virus-free controls from 25 infection sites is completely destroyed or lysed by the cytopathic effect (CPE) of herpesviruses (100% CPE). The plates are initially evaluated visually using a microscope and then analyzed using a fluorescent dye. For this purpose,The cell supernatant is aspirated from all wells of the MTP plate, and the wells are filled with 250 µL of PBS wash solution (phosphate-buffered saline). The PBS is then aspirated, and all wells are filled with 200 µL of fluorescent dye solution (fluroscein diacetate, 10 pg / ml in PBS). After an incubation time of 30 to 90 minutes, the test plates are read on a fluorescence detector at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 538 nm. In this case,The IC50 is the semimaximal fluorescence intensity relative to the uninfected cell control (value 100%). The IC50 [%] value ((infected cells treated with compound minus untreated virus-infected cells) divided by (cell control or infected cells treated with Zovirax minus untreated infected cells) × 100) can also be referenced to a suitable active compound control (see assay description: infected cells in the presence of suitable concentrations of an antiviral compound such as, for example, Zovirax 20 μM). This active compound control achieves fluorescence intensities of approximately 85 to 100% relative to the uninfected cell control.

As shown in Table 1, Examples 7, 7a, 7b, and 7c exhibit antiviral activity even when present as mixtures of their respective enantiomers. Furthermore, Examples 7, 7a, 7b, and 7c also demonstrate antiviral activity for the isolated enantiomers, confirming that individual enantiomers will also exhibit antiviral activity. The results also show that, surprisingly, enantiomers with a specific counterclockwise, levorotatory, or negative rotation exhibit more potent antiviral activity compared to the racemate and enantiomers with a specific clockwise, dextrorotatory, or positive rotation. The results also show that, surprisingly, the 7(-) enantiomer with the absolute (S) configuration exhibits more potent antiviral activity compared to the racemate and the 7(+) enantiomer with the absolute (R) configuration. The new compounds according to the invention are thus active compounds useful for the treatment and prophylaxis of disorders. caused by viruses, particularly herpesviruses and especially herpes simplex virus. The particularly active enantiomers are those that show a specific negative optical rotation and that elute first in the chiral column defined in the case of 7(-) the absolute configuration is (S), since they are at least a factor of two more potent than the respective enantiomers with opposite absolute configuration (R) with a specific positive optical rotation and that elute second in the chiral column defined in the case of 7(+). Examples of areas of indication that can be mentioned are: 1) Treatment and prophylaxis of herpes infections, particularly herpes simplex infections in patients with herpetic disease, such as oral herpes, genital herpes and herpes-related keratitis, Alzheimer's disease, encephalitis, pneumonia, hepatitis or viral dissemination, etc. 2) Treatment and prophylaxis of herpes infections, particularly herpes simplex infections, in patients with a suppressed immune system (e.g., patients with AIDS, cancer patients, patients with a genetic or hereditary immunodeficiency, transplant patients). 3) Treatment and prophylaxis of herpes infections, particularly herpes simplex infections, in newborn and infant children 4) Treatment and prophylaxis of herpes infections, in particular herpes simplex infections and in herpes-positive relatives, in particular herpes simplex-positive patients, to suppress recurrence or elimination of the virus (suppression therapy). 5) Treatment and prophylaxis of herpes infections, in particular herpes simplex infections and in herpes-positive patients, in particular herpes simplex-positive patients, who are resistant to nucleoside antiviral treatment such as acyclovir, penciclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, valacyclovir etc. Carbonic anhydrase activity Carbonic anhydrase II activity and its respective inhibition were performed according to R. Iyer et al. J. Biomol. Screen. 2006: 11.782 and / or in the case of carbonic anhydrase I activity according to AR Katritzky et al. J. Med. Chem. 1987:30,2058 based on human starting material. The following describes a protocol for determining the enzymatic activity of carbonic anhydrase at room temperature using the pH indicator method: One µL of inhibitor (50 mM stock solution in DMSO) is diluted to a final test concentration ranging from 100 µM to 1 nM (or 1 µL of water in controls) and incubated for 2 min with 0.5 to 2 EU of human carbanhydrase I (180 U / mg) in 400 µL of water and 200 µL of phenol red indicator solution (20 mg / L). An enzyme unit (EU) is defined as an amount that doubles the uncatalyzed rate. The hydration reaction is initiated by adding 100 µL of 0.5 M bicarbonate buffer (30.3 M Na₂CO₃; 30.2 M NaHCO₃) and subsequent CO₂ discharge through a needle (0.7 x 30 mm; 22G x 1.25) into the test solution at a rate of 10 mL of gas / min. The color change time (pH 7.2) is determined using a micro-chronometer or stopwatch. The percentage of inhibition is calculated as described below: (time to change color without enzyme - time to change color with enzyme and inhibitor) / (time to change color without enzyme - time to change color with enzyme). The IC50 (inhibitory concentration) values reflect the molar amount of inhibitor, which reduces EU activity in the test system by 50%. In the test system, carbonic anhydrase inhibition was not detected nor was it significantly reduced for Example 7, 7(-), 7(+), 7c, 7c(-), 7c(+) and 7b. In contrast to this finding, Example 87 (document WO2001 / 047904) shows carbonic anhydrase inhibition in the 1 to 3 pM range (IC50). The example compounds, comprising a mixture of the respective enantiomers, are indicated in Table 2 with #. As shown in Table 2, Examples 7b and 7c show zero or reduced carbonic anhydrase inhibition, even when present as mixtures of the respective enantiomers. Furthermore, for Examples 7 and 7c, the isolated enantiomers also show zero or reduced carbonic anhydrase inhibition. This demonstrates that individual enantiomers will also exhibit reduced or non-reduced carbonic anhydrase inhibition (even if not explicitly shown here, as in Example 7b). The results are shown below in TABLE 2: TABLE 2 Example CI50 (pM) human carbanhydrase II 7* >10 7(-) >10 7(+) >10 7c* >10 7c(-) >10 7c(+) >10 7b* >10 reference example 87 (W02001 / 47904) 1.7 acetazolamide 0.026 Aqueous solubility (PBS, pH 7.4) The measurement of aqueous solubility was performed according to Lipinski, CA et al. Adv. Drug Del. Rev. 1997:46,3. The relevant information from the literature is described below. Aqueous solubility (μM, shaker flask, 24 h incubation, ta) of a compound (10 mM stock in DMSO) was determined by comparing the peak area (HPLC-UV / VIS) of the main peak in a calibration standard (200 pM) containing organic solvent (methanol / water, 60 / 40, v / v) with the peak area of the corresponding peak in a buffer sample (PBS, pH 7.4). Additionally, chromatographic purity (%) was defined as the peak area of the main peak relative to the total integrated peak area in the HPLC chromatogram of the calibration standard. In the aqueous solubility test system, a significantly increased solubility (at least one order of magnitude) was detected for Example 7 compared to Example 87 (WO2001 / 047904). The example compounds, comprising a mixture of the respective enantiomers, are indicated in Table 3 with #. The results are shown below in TABLE 3: TABLE 3 Example Solubility [pM] (PBS, pH 7.4, test concentration 200 pM) Detection wavelength [nm] Chromatographic purity [%] 7* 5 260 100 reference example 87 (W02001 / 47904) 0.7 260 100 Simvastatin 18.7 230 100 Similarly, good solubility can be expected for the individual enantiomers. Mechanism of action To elucidate the mechanism of action, compound-resistant herpesviruses were selected in the presence of, for example, 2 pM of Example 7(-) or 10 pM of Example 7c(-) according to G. Kleymann et al. Nat. Med. 2002;8,392. The viral DNA was prepared as described and used as a template in a subsequent PCR reaction employing the following method parameters: 5 min denaturation at 95 °C, 35 cycles denaturation at 95 °C 30 s, annealing at 60 °C 30 s, amplification / extension at 72 °C 30 s, final step 5 15 mins at 72 °C and then cool to 4-5 °C; “PCR Primers: Inv. Primer. VHS1 / 2 (5' atgagccgcgacaggaac 3'), dir primer VHS1 / 2 (5' ggtggatgattaacgccctg 3'). The amplified products (~849 bp in size) were purified by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and subsequently sequenced using the sequencing primer (5' ttaacgccctgtaccacacc 3'). Sequencing revealed resistance conferred by the K356Q and K356R mutations in the HSV-1 helicase gene compared to the susceptible strain used as starting material for selected resistant viruses in the presence of the compounds from Example 7(-) and 7c(-). The K356R mutation is novel and has not been previously described for HHV-1. In vivo activity Pharmacoclinical Pharmacokinetic parameters for Example 7, 7(· ), 7{+) and 7c were determined in C57BL / 6J strain male mice at an intravenous (iv) dose of 5 mg / kg (DMSO 5% in heterologous plasma, 2.5 ml / kg ) and an oral (vo) dose of 10 mg / kg (DMSO / 0.5% HPMC (5:95), 5 ml / kg). Surprisingly, enantiomers with a specific negative optical rotation can show a better pharmacokinetic profile, illustrated by Example 7c(-), which demonstrates the highest exposure in the C57BL / 6J mouse strain with respect to Cmax (6647 ng / ml) and AUC (38034 ng * h / ml) at 10 mg / kg orally (DMSO / 0.5% HPMC (5:95), 5 ml / kg) compared to the racemate (Example 7c, Cmax 4289 ng / ml, AUC 22482 ng*h / ml) and the opposite enantiomer (Example 7c(+), Cmax 5704 ng / ml, AUC 31237 ng*h / ml) with a specific positive optical rotation. In addition, Example 7 in particular shows the highest brain exposure (*13-14 μM, 6000 ng / g of brain), which allows for the treatment of herpes encephalitis. Animal model Animal experiments were conducted in accordance with patent W02001 / 047904 or subsequent publications (UAK Betz et al. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2002:46,1766 or G. Kleymann et al. Nat. Med. 2002;8,392). The relevant experimental details from the aforementioned patent and publication for evaluating the antiviral activity of the Invention (disclosed compounds) in vivo (animal models) are described below. Animals: Six-week-old female mice, BALB / cABom strain, were obtained from a commercial breeder. Infection: The animals were anesthetized with EbO in a sealed glass container. Fifty milliliters of a dilution of the virus stock (infection dose of 5 x 10⁴ PFU [plaque-forming units]) were introduced into the noses of the anesthetized animals using a pipette. In 90–100% of the animals, this infection dose caused death from systemic infection with prominent retinal and central nervous system symptoms on average after 5–8 days. Treatment and evaluation: Hours after infection, the animals were treated with doses of 0.1–150 mg / kg body weight, three times daily at 7 am, 2 pm, and 7 pm (tid), twice daily at 7 am and 7 pm (bid), or once daily at 1 pm (od) for a period of 5 days. The compounds were pre-dissolved in DMSO and resuspended in 0.5% HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) in water or PBS (DMSO / 0.5% HPMC [maximum 5:95, ideally 1.5% HPMC]). DMSO, 0.5% HPMC in water or PBS). After the last administration, the animals were monitored further and the time of death was determined. A comparison of survival curves showed, for the compound in Example 7, for example, an ED50 of less than 10 mg / kg for either HSV-1 or HSV-2, where ED50 means that 50% of infected animals survive this dose. In particular, the Example 7(-) enantiomer shows an ED50 of less than 5 mg / kg for HSV-1. However, based on the in vivo data for Example 7, even if analyzed here as a mixture of the respective enantiomers, the activity of the individual enantiomers can also be expected. The novel active enantiomers of the present invention can be formulated in a known manner into common formulations, such as tablets, oblong tablets, sugar-coated tablets, pills, granules, aerosols, syrups, and pharmaceutically suitable vehicles and solvents. In this case, the therapeutically active compound should be present in each formulation at a concentration of approximately 0.1 to 90% by weight of the total mixture, i.e., in quantities sufficient to achieve the indicated dosage range. The formulations are prepared, for example, by extending the active compounds with solvents and / or excipients, if appropriate using emulsifiers and / or dispersants, if possible, for example, if the diluent used is water, to use, if appropriate, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Administration is carried out in a routine manner, preferably orally, parenterally or topically, particularly perlingually or intravenously. In the case of parenteral administration, solutions of the active compounds using suitable liquid vehicle materials may be employed. In general, it has been shown that in the case of intravenous administration, it is advantageous to administer quantities of approximately 0.001 to 20 mg / kg, preferably approximately 0.01 to 10 mg / kg of body weight to achieve effective results, and in the case of oral administration, the dose is approximately 0.01 to 30 mg / kg, preferably 0.1 to 20 mg / kg of body weight. Despite this, it may be necessary, if appropriate, to deviate from the stated amounts. This depends on factors such as body weight, route of administration, individual response to the medication, formulation, and the timing or interval at which administration takes place. Therefore, in some cases, a lower minimum dose than stated may be suitable, while in others, the upper limit should be exceeded. When administering relatively large amounts, it may be advisable to divide the dose into several individual administrations throughout the day. If appropriate, it may be useful to combine the compounds according to the invention with other active substances, in particular antiviral active compounds, the so-called combination therapy.
