Description

TITLE
HIV PROTEASE INHIBITORS
BACKGROUND
Retroviruses, that is, viruses within the family of Retroviridae, are a class of viruses which transport their genetic material as ribonucleic acid rather than deoxyribonucleic acid. Also known as RNA-tumor viruses, their presence has been associated with a wide range of diseases in humans and animals . They are believed to be the causative agents in pathological states associated with ir.fection by Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) , murine leukemia virus (MLV) , mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) , feline leukemia virus (FeLV) , bovine leukemia virus (BLV) , Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV) , simian sarcoma virus (SSV) , simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (SAIDS) , human T- lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I, -II) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1, HIV-2) , which is the etiologic agent of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) and AIDS related complexes, and many others. Although the pathogens have, in many of these cases, been isolated, no effective method for treating this type of infection has been developed. Among these viruses, the HTLV and HIV have been especially well characterized. Although diverse in detail, all retroviruses are rather similar in overall structure. The extracellular virus particle is composed of an outer membrane studded with viral glycoproteins, a core of structural proteins, and a genome of single stranded ribonucleic acid. The retroviral genome has a distinctive regional organization, referred to as the 5'- σaσ-pol-env-3 ' structure, wherein the gag region encodes the core structural proteins, the pol region encodes certain critical viral enzymes such as reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease, and the env region encodes the envelope glycoproteins . . Viral replication occurs only within host cells and is dependent upon host cellular functions . Critical to this replication is the production of functional viral proteins. Protein synthesis is accomplished by translation of the open reading frames into polyprotein constructs, corresponding to the gag, pol and env reading frames, which are processed, at least in part, by a viral protease into the functional proteins. The proteolytic activity provided by the viral protease in processing the polyproteins cannot be provided by the host and is essential to the life cycle of the retrovirus . In fact, it has been demonstrated that retroviruses which lack the protease or contain a mutated form of it, lack infectivity. See Katoh et al., Viroloσv. 145, 280-92(1985), Crawford, et al. , £_. Virol . , 53, 899-907(1985) and Debouk, et al. , Proc. Na l. Acad. Sci. USA. 84, 8903-6(1987) . Inhibiton of retroviral protease, therefore, presents a method of therapy for retroviral disease.
Methods to express retroviral proteases in E. coli have been disclosed by Debouck, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
USA, 8903-06(1987) and Graves, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 85, 2449-53(1988) for the HIV-1 virus. The crystal structure of an HIV-1 protease has been disclosed by Miller St ai.j Science. 246, 1149 (1989) . The method of isosteric replacement has been disclosed as a strategy for the development of protease inhibitors for HIV-1. Published European Patent- applications EP-A 337 714, EP-A 352 000 and EP-A 357 332, EP-A 346 847, EP-A 342 541 and EP-A 393 445 are representative. Similar strategies have also been reported for inhibition of renin in U.S. Patents 4,713,445 and 4,661,473. There remains a need for protease- inhibiting compounds which have a favorable balance of potency and pharmacokinetics properties.

The compounds of this invention are prepared by conventional methods of peptide synthesis. The residue denoted by M is prepared by methods well known in the art, such as those disclosed in U.S. Patents 4,661,473 and 4,713,445 and published European Patent applications EP-A 352 000 and 337 714, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Other methods are disclosed by Holladay j≥t. al ■ . J. Med. Chem.. 30, 374-83(1987) and Kempf, D., J. Qrσ. Chem , 51, 21, 3921-26(1986) . The amino acids or modified amino acids of this invention are generally available commercially or are prepared by conventional methods of organic chemistry. Solution synthesis of the peptides is accomplished using routine methods for coupling the appropriate amino acid residues and optionally removing any protective groups.. Typically, a protected Boc-amino acid which has a free carboxyl group is coupled to a protected amino acid which has a free amino group using a suitable carbodiimide coupling agent, such as N, N1 dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC) , optionally in the presence of catalysts such as 1- hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) and dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) . Suitable protective groups for amino acids and intermediates are disclosed in Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry. John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1981. Other methods for forming peptide bonds, such as the formation of activated esters, anhydrides or acid halides, of the free carboxyl of a protected Boc-amino acid, and subsequent reaction with the free amine of a protected amino acid, optionally in the presence of a base, are also suitable. For example, a protected Boc-amino acid or peptide is treated in an anhydrous solvent, such as methylene chloride or tetrahydrofuran (THF) , in the presence of a base, such as N-methyl morpholine, DMAP or a trialkyl amine, with isobutyl chloroformate to form the "activated anhydride", which is subsequently reacted with the free amine of a second protected amino acid or peptide. The peptide formed by these methods may be deprotected selectively, using conventional techniques, at the amino or carboxy terminus and coupled to other peptides or amino acids using similar techniques . After the peptide has been completed, the protecting groups may be removed as hereinbefore described, such as by hydrogenation in the presence of a palladium or platinum catalyst, treatment with sodium in liquid ammonia, hydrofluoric acid or alkali.
Esters are often used to protect the terminal carboxyl group of peptides in solution synthesis. They may be converted to carboxylic acids by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate, such as potassium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, in an aqueous alcoholic solution. The acids may be converted to other esters via an activated acyl intermediate as previously described. The amides and substituted amides of this invention are prepared from carboxylic acids of the peptides in much the same manner. Thus, ammonia or a substituted amine may be reacted with an activated acyl intermediate to produce the amide. Use of coupling reagents, such as DCC, is convenient for forming substituted amides from the carboxylic acid itself and a suitable amine.
In addition, the methyl esters of this invention may be converted to the amides, or substituted-amides, directly by treatment with ammonia, or a substituted amine, in methanol solution. A methanol solution of the methyl ester of the peptide is saturated with ammonia and stirred in a pressurized reactor to yield the simple carboxamide of the peptides. Carboxamides are preferred embodiments of this invention due their enhanced stability relative to esters . If the final peptide, after it has been deprotected, contains a basic group, an acid addition salt may be prepared. Acid addition salts of the peptides are prepared in a standard manner in a suitable solvent from the parent compound and an excess of an acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, maleic, succinic or methanesulfonic. The acetate salt form is especially useful. If the final peptide contains an acidic group, cationic salts may be prepared. Typically the parent compound is treated with an excess of an alkaline reagent, such as a hydroxide, carbonate or alkoxide, containing the appropriate cation. Cations such as Na+, K+, Ca++ and NH4 " are examples of cations present in pharmaceutically acceptable salts . Certain of the compounds form inner salts or zwitterions which may also be acceptable.
The compounds of formula (I) , wherein M is -HNCHR;]_R -, are used to induce anti-viral activity in patients which are infected with susceptible viruses and require such treatmen . The method of treatment comprises the administration orally, parenterally, buccally, trans-dermally, rectally or by insufflation, of an effective quantity of the chosen compound, preferably dispersed in a pharmaceutical carrier. Dosage units- of the active ingredient are generally selected from the range of 0.1 to 25 mg/kg, but will be readily determined by one skilled in the art depending upon the route of administration, age and condition of the patient. These dosage units may be administered one to ten times daily for acute or chronic infection. The protease inhibiting properties of the peptides of this invention, are demonstrated by their ability to inhibit the hydrolysis of a peptide substrate by rHIV protease in the range of about 0.1 nM to about 1.0 μM. The following table is representative of the inhibition constants of these peptides.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the peptides of this invention, or derivatives thereof, may be formulated as solutions or lyophilized powders for parenteral administration. Powders may be reconstituted by addition of a suitable diluent or other pharmaceutically acceptable carrier prior to use. The liquid, formulation is generally a buffered, isotonic, aqueous, solution. Examples of suitable diluents are normal isotonic saline solution, standard 5% dextrose in water or buffered sodium or ammonium acetate solution. Such formulation is especially suitable for parenteral administration, but may also be used for oral administration or contained in a metered dose inhaler or nebulizer for insufflation. It may be desirable to add excipients such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, hydroxy cellulose, acacia, polyethylene glycol, mannitol, sodium chloride or sodium citrate.
A preferred composition for parenteral administration may additionally be comprised of a quantity of the compound encapsulated in a liposomal carrier. The liposome may be formed by dispersion of the peptides in an aqueous phase with phospholipids, with or without cholesterol, using a variety of techniques, including conventional handshaking, high pressure extrusion, reverse phase evaporation and microfluidization. A suitable method of making such compositions is more fully disclosed in copending Application Serial No. 06/763,484 and is incorporated herein by reference. Such a carrier may be optionally directed toward its site of action by an immunoglobulin or protein reactive with the viral particle or infected cells. The choice of such proteins would of course be dependent upon the antigenic determinants of the infecting virus. An example of such a protein is the CD-4 T-cell glycoprotein, or a derivative thereof, such as sCD-4 (soluble CD-4), which is reactive with the glycoprotein coat of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) . Such proteins are disclosed in copending Application Serial No. 07/160,463, which is incorporated herein by reference. Similar targeting proteins could be devised, by methods known to the art, for other viruses and are considered within the scope of this invention.
Alternately, these peptides may be encapsulated, tableted or prepared in a emulsion or syrup for oral administration. Pharmaceutically acceptable solid or liquid carriers may be added to enhance or stabilize the composition, or to facilitate preparation of the composition. Liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, glycerin, saline and water. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, calcium sulfate dihydrate, terra alba, magnesium stearate or stearic acid, talc, pectin, acacia, agar or gelatin. The carrier may also include a sustained release material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or with a wax. The'amount of solid carrier varies but, preferably, will be between about 20 g to about 1 g per dosage unit. The pharmaceutical preparations are made following the conventional techniques of pharmacy involving milling, mixing, granulating, and compressing, when necessary, for tablet forms; or milling, mixing and filling for hard gelatin capsule forms. When a liquid carrier is used, the preparation will be in the form of a syrup, elixir, emulsion or an aqueous or non-aqueous suspension. Such a liquid formulation may be administered directly p.o. or filled into a soft gelatin capsule.
For rectal administration, a pulverized powder of the peptides of this invention may be combined with excipients such as cocoa butter, glycerin, gelatin or polyethylene glycols and molded into a suppository. The pulverized powders may also be compounded with an oily preparation, gel, cream or emulsion, buffered or unbuffered, and administered through a transdermal patch.
Beneficial effects may be realized by co-administering, individually or in combination, other anti-viral agents with the protease inhibiting compounds of this invention.
Examples of anti-viral agents include nucleoside analogues, phosphonoformate, rifabutin, ribaviran, phosphonothioate oligodeoxynucleotides, castanospermine, dextran sulfate, alpha interferon and ampligen. Nucleoside analogues, which include 2 ' ,3 '-dideoxycytidme (ddC) , 2 ' ,3 '-dideoxyadenine (ddA) and 3 '-azido-2 ' ,3 '-dideoxythymide (AZT) , are especially useful. AZT is one preferred agent. Suitably pharmaceutical compositions comprise an anti-viral agent, a protease inhibiting peptide -of this invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The Examples which follow serve to illustrate this invention. The Examples are intended to in no way limit the scope of this invention, but are provided to show how to make and use the compounds of this invention. Purification of Recombinant HIV Protease
Methods for expressing recombinant HIV protease in E. coli have been described by Debouck, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 84, 8903-6(1987) . The enzyme used to assay the peptide of this invention was produced in this manner and purified from the cell pellet as follows . The £__. coli cell pellet was resuspended in a buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris- HCl, pH 7.5; 1.0 mM each DTT, EDTA and PMSF (phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) . The cells were lysed by sonication and insoluble material was removed by centrifugation at 15,000 x g av, for 15 mi . The clarified supernatant was then brought to 40% of saturation with ammonium sulfate. This suspension was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. and then centrifuged as above. The resulting precipitate was redissolved/resuspended in a minimal volume of 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5; 200 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM each DTT and EDTA. The sample was centrifuged again before application (in 5 ml aliquots) to a Beckman TSK G2000SW preparative HPLC gel filtration column (2.1 cm x 60 cm.) .
The column was equilibrated in the same buffer at a flow rate of 4 ml/min. The effluent of the column was monitored at 280 nm and 1 min. fractions collected. Typically, the rHIVPRT (recombinant HIV protease) eluted 45-46 min. into the run. At this stage, the protease was N85-95% pure. By immunoblot analysis >90% of the immunoreactive material was precipitated at the ammonium sulfate step. By activity assay, the highest peak of activity was found in the fractions collected at 45 and 46 minutes. Analysis of the TSK column fractions by RP- HPLC and SDS-PAGE indicated that the majority of the 11,000 Mr protein is also found in fractions 45 and 46. The activity itself cannot be used to obtain reliable recovery data as it is influenced by high salt, i.e., with increasing salt, increasing levels of activity were obtained. Thus, with each step in the purification, more total activity was recovered than was started with. The overall yield of rHIVPRT was Nl mg from a 50 gm E_<_ coli cell pellet. Substrate Kinetics for HIV Protease Activity
Initial rate data for oligopeptides were determined at pH 6.0, 37°C. Reaction mixtures (0.01-0.1 mL) contained 50 5 mM Mes (2-N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid) , 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.2 M NaCl, 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100 (pH 6.0), 10% DMSO, and variable concentrations of the peptides. After incubation at 37°C for several minutes, reaction was initiated by the addition of purified HIV protease (0.01-2
10 g) , and reactions were quenched after 10-30 min. with an equal volume of either ice-cold 0.6 N tricholoroacetic acid or 0.2% trifluoroacetic acid. Samples were centrifuged at 17,000 rpm for 5 min., and the peptide substrates and products were separated and quantified (by peak integration)
15. by reverse phase HPLC. Initial rates were determined as (mM peptide product formed) /min based on the percentage of conversion of substrate to. product for a given concentration of substrate. Typically, reaction rates were linear over the time course of the reaction, and less than 15-20% of the
20 substrate had been converted to product at reaction endpoint. Kinetic constants (Michaelis constants, maximal velocities) were determined by fitting initial rate data to the Michaelis-Menten equation (v = Vmax(S) / (Km + (S) ) ) using the
Fortran program of Cleland (W. W. Cleland, Adv. Enzymol. 29, 25 1, (1967)) . The turnover number (kca-t-) was obtained as kcat = rnax/E-f-, where it is assumed that one active site is present per 22-kD dimer of HIV protease.
An estimate of substrate viability was obtained by determination of a relative initial velocity (rel VD) . This
30 assay was run in the same manner, except the percent hydrolysis of substrate after 10-20 min. was compared to the percent hydrolysis of Ac-Arg-Ala-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr-Pro-Val-Val- NH2 (control) after a similar incubation. This established a comparison of initial reaction velocity at one time point 35 relative to the control peptide. Inhibition of HIV protease activity
A typical assay contained 10 mL MENDT buffer (50 mM Mes (pH 6.0; 2- (N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid), 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 200 mM NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100) ; 2, 3, or 6 mM N-acetyl-L-arginyl-L-alanyl-L-seryl-L-glutaminyl-L- asparaginyl-L-tyrosyl-L-prolyl-L-valyl-L-valinamide (Ac-Arg- Ala-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr-Pro-Val-Val-NH2; Km=7 mM) ; and micromolar and sub-micromolar concentrations of synthetic compounds . Following incubation at 37°C for several minutes, the reaction was initiated with purified 0.01-1 mg HIV protease. Reaction mixtures (37°C) were quenched after 10-20 minutes • with an equal volume of cold 0.6 N trichloroacetic acid, and, following centrifugation to remove precipitated material, peptidolysis products were analyzed by reverse phase HPLC
(Beckman Ultrasphere ODS, 4.5 mm x 25 mm; mobile phase: 5-20% acetonitrile/H20 - .1% TFA (15 min), 20% acetonitrile/H2θ -
.1% TFA (5 min) at 1.5 mL/min, detection at 220 nm. The elution positions of Ac-Arg-Ala-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr-Pro-Val-Val- NH2 (17-18 min) and Ac-Arg-Ala-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr (10-11 min) were confirmed with authentic material. Initial rates of Ac- Arg-Ala-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr formation were determined from integration of these peaks, and typically, the inhibitory properties of the synthetic compounds were determined from slope/intercept analysis of a plot of 1/v vs. [inhibitor] (Dixon analysis) . Kj_ values resulting from this type of primary analysis are accurate for competitive inhibitors only, and under conditions in which the Michaelis constant of the substrate used is well-determined.

Liposomal Dosage Unit Composition
Phosphatidylcholine (1.4 g) and phosphatidylglycerol ( .6g) are dissolved in 300 ml of a 20% methanol in chloroform solvent and evaporated to dryness. A solution of the peptide (30 mg in 200 ml of phosphate buffered saline) is added to the dry phospholipid film which is allowed to equilibrate at room temperature for 1-2 hr. The liposome dispersion formed is then vortexed to insure uniform mixing. The resulting suspension is extruded through a 0.2μ polycarbonate filter five times to produce a uniform size distribution. If necessary the suspension can be dialysed or ultracentrifuged to remove non-encapsulated peptide.
Example 13
Liposomal Dosage Unit Composition
In a beaker, cholesterol (49 mg) and oleic acid (.358 g) are warmed to 65°C for 20-30 min. Maintaining the temperature, phospholipids (1 g) are added slowly, ensuring complete wetting by the oleic acid. A solution of arginine (.22 g in 3.37 g water) at 40°C is added in small aliquots and thoroughly mixed into the slurry. Mixing is maintained at 40°C- After equilibration for one week, the peptide (150 mg) is mixed thoroughly into the gel. The pH is adjusted to 7.0 with acetic acid if necessary. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) is added in small aliquots with vortexing to achieve a concentration of 200 mg of liposomal gel per ml. Liposomes form spontaneously. This procedure produces 5 g of liposomal suspension. A standard dosage unit is 1 g of liposomal suspension.
Example 14
Parenteral Dosage Unit Composition
A preparation which contains 25 mg of a peptide of this invention is prepared as follows: 25 mg of the peptide is dissolved in 15 ml of distilled water. The solution is filtered under sterile conditions in to a 25 ml multi-dose ampoule and lyophilized. The powder is reconstituted by addition of 20 ml of 5% dextrose in water (D5W) for intravenous or intramuscular injection. The dosage is thereby determined by the injection volume. This solution is also suitable for use in other methods for administration, such as addition to a bottle or bag for IV drip infusion.
Example 15
Oral Dosage Unit Composition
A capsule for oral administration is prepared by mixing and milling 35 mg of the peptide with 75 mg of lactose and 5 mg of magnesium stearate. The resulting powder is screened and filled into a hard gelatin capsule.
The above description fully discloses how to make and use this invention. This invention, however, is not limited to the precise embodiments described herein, but encompasses all modifications within the scope of the claims which follow.
