Abstract

A method is provided for treating a mammal infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) comprising administering to the mammal an RSV inhibitory effective amount of a compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt of formula (I), wherein R1 is alkyl, aralkyl, aroyl or acyl, and R?2, R3, R4 and R5¿ are H or acyl.

Description

Use of l-deoxynoj1r1myc1n and Its derivatives for treating mammals Infected with respiratory syncytlal virus.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects the general
10 population each winter. While RSV infection affects and inconveniences otherwise healthy adults with symptoms of the common cold, it produces especially serious symptoms in infants and young children. Essentially all children are infected with respiratory syncytial virus before the
15 age of 3, and RSV can cause severe bronchiolitis or pneumonia, progressing to morbid disease or death in a significant percentage of children. See K. Mclntosh and R. Chanoc , Respiratory Syncytial Virus , Chap. 38, in B. Fields et al. (eds.), Virology, Second Edition, Raven
20 Press, Ltd., New York, NY (1990); W. LaVia et al., J. Pediatrics, 121, 503-510 (1992); M. Stretton et al., Pediatr. Pulmonol. 13, 143-150 (1992); and M. Filippell et al., Infection Control 28, 651-671 (1993).
The only drug to be approved by the U.S. Food and
25 Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of repiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is ribavirin, 1-beta-D- ribofuranosyl-lH-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide. This nucleoside analog was originally selected as a potential antiviral compound effective against RSV by in vitro
30 testing. Such in vitro tests are useful and virtually the only practical method of initially screening and testing potential anti-RSV drugs. A serious drawback of ribavirin is that it must be inhaled as an aerosol which, for infants and young children, means that it must be
35 administered in an enclosed atmosphere. Moreover, ribavirin has toxic side-effects. Thus, there is a need for improved anti-RSV drugs, especially drugs which do not need to be administered by aerosol and preferably can be delivered orally. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention a method for treating a mammal infected with respiratory syncytial virus comprising administering to the mammal having a disease caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) an RSV inhibitory effective amount of a compound, for an amount of time sufficient to inhibit or eliminate the disease caused by RSV, the compound being selected from the group consisting of l,5-dideoxy-l,5-imino-D-glucitol or an N-alkyl, N-acyl, N-aroyl, N-aralkyl and/or O-acylated derivative thereof. The above-defined compounds have been found to have useful antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In one of its aspects the present invention entails administration of an RSV inhibitory effective amount of l,5-dideoxy-l,5-imino-D-glucitol or an N-substituted and/or O-acylated derivative thereof to a mammal infected with respiratory syncytial virus. An "RSV inhibitory effective amount" of a compound disclosed herein is an amount of a disclosed compound which inhibits respiratory syncytial virus and does not exhibit adverse toxic effects outweighing the benefit of virus inhibition. l,5-dideoxy-l,5-imino-D-glucitol is a six-membered heterocyclic compound having nitrogen in the ring and four hydroxyl groups. It is thus described by a systematic chemical name as a sugar derivative in which the six-membered ring is considered as a mimic of pyranose, with nitrogen instead of oxygen in the ring. It can also be described structurally as a derivative of piperidine.

The free hydroxyl groups on l,5-dideoxy-l,5-imino-D- glucitol and the N-substituted derivatives thereof may preferably be acylated with up to four, preferably exactly four, O-acyl groups. It is presently preferred to provide the compounds for use in accordance with the present invention as the peracylated derivatives. O-acylated l,5-dideoxy-l,5-imino-D-glucitol and its N-substituted derivatives may be referred to as "prodrugs". The O-acyl groups are enzymatically removed to provide the non-O- acylated (i.e., hydroxy-containing N-substituted or unsubstituted 1,5-dideoxy-l,5-imino-D-glucitol compounds) in vivo. M. Bryant et al., 10th International Conference of AIDS, Berlin, June 7-11, 1993, Abstr. No. WS-A11-2.

Scheme 1 shows a presently preferred method for making N-substituted, O-acylated DNJ wherein R1 represents N-alkyl or N-aralkyl, and 0(0)--^ represents the O-acyl moieties defined hereinbefore, the method involving [step (a) ] reductively alkylating DNJ 1 with an alkylaldehyde or arylaldehyde in the presence of hydrogen gas and a catalyst such as palladium/carbon to give N-alkylated DNJ 2, or alternatively alkylating the imino-nitrogen with an alkylhalide or alkyl ester such as an alkyl tosylate, followed by acylation [step (b) ] with the carboxylic acid chloride or carboxylic acid anhydride of an alkyl or aralkyl moiety to provide an O-acylated, N-alkyl (or aralkyl) DNJ 3. Suitable alkylaldehydes include but are not limited to butyraldehyde, ethylbutyraldehyde, 2-methylvaleraldehyde, caproaldehyde, and nonylaldehyde. Illustrative arylaldehydes are, e.g., benzaldehyde, ethylbenzaldehyde and hydrocinnamaldehyde. Suitable alkylating agents include, for example, isopropylbromide, tert-butyl tosylate, 3-heptyliodide, alpha- phenethylmesylate and the like. Suitable acid anhydrides include but are not limited to the acetic-, propionic-, butyric-, isobutyric- and benzoic anhydrides.
Scheme 2 shows a presently preferred method for making N-substituted or unsubstituted, optionally 0- acylated, DNJ derivatives starting from carbobenzyloxy- protected DNJ. (See, Example 1 herein) . In step c, l,5-(Benzyoxycarbonylimino)-1,5- dideoxy-D-glucitol 4 is acylated as described in step (a) to give the compound 5. Step (d) consists of reductive removal of the carbobenzoxy protecting group by catalytic hydrogenation to give a peraσylated DNJ 6. Reductive alkylation (e) of 6 as described above for step (a) gives an N-alkyl, O-acylated DNJ derivative 8. Alternatively, an amide formation reaction (f) with a peracylated DNJ 6 and a carboxylic acid chloride or carboxylic acid anhydride of an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl moiety in the presence of a base provides an N-acylated, O-acylated DNJ derivative 7. The compound 7 can be hydrolyzed with an acid or base to provide the corresponding N-acyl compound 7A. The hydrolysis of the ester groups of 7 without hydrolysis of the amide group may be carried out as is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art with reagents such as sodium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, hydrochloric acid and the like. Reduction of 7 or 7A to provide 2 or 8 (not shown) may be accomplished by using, e.g., lithium aluminum hydride.
Scheme 3 shows a preferred reaction for providing N- substituted, 2,3-O-acylated DNJ deriviatives wherein N- alkyl DNJ 2 is 4-6-O-protected by acetal exchange (h) with dimethoxybenzaldehyde in the presence of acid, followed by acylation (i) and reductive removal of the protecting group (j) essentially as described above for steps (c) and (d) , respectively.

The foregoing compounds can be demonstrated to have inhibitory activity against respiratory syncytial virus in a tetrazolium based cell viability assay. See Example 44. l,5-dideoxy-l,5-imino-D-glucitol and N-alkyl, N- aralkyl, N-acyl and O-acylated derivatives thereof which have been found to exhibit RSV inhibitor activity, are known to have alpha- and beta-glucosidase inhibitory activity and to inhibit HIV.
The anti-RSV compounds described herein may be used for administration to a mammalian host infected with respiratory syncytial virus by conventional means, preferably in formulation with pharmaceutically acceptable diluents and carriers. The compounds described for use in accordance with the present invention may be used in the free amine form or in their salt form. Pharmaceutically acceptable salt derivatives are illustrated, for example, by the hydrochloride salt.
An "RSV inhibitory effective amount" of a compound disclosed herein is an amount of a disclosed compound which exhibits RSV inhibition, which benefit is not outweighed by adverse toxic effects. An RSV inhibitory effective amount of a 1,5-dideoxy-l,5-imino-D-glucitol or N-alkyl, N-aralkyl, N-acyl and/or O-acylated derivative thereof may be an amount which is from about 0.5 milligrams/kilogram body weight/day to about 750 milligrams/kilogram body weight/day, and may be readily determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on in vitro efficacy and/or in vivo effect. Clinical improvement of a patient being treated in accordance with the method of the present invention may be readily determined by an ordinarily skilled clinician, such as by virological testing or by disappearance of clinically characteristic symptoms of RSV infection. A therapeutically effective regimen for treating RSV infection may entail administration of an inhibitory effective amount of an anti-RSV disclosed herein at a rate of 2 to 4 times or more per day for about 7 days to about 14 days or longer. The dosage of an anti-RSV compound which is given and/or the length of treatment time may be increased or decreased based on the type and severity of disease, the age (e.g., pediatric v. adult use) and general health of the patient, and like factors of which a clinician of ordinary skill in the art is aware and utilizes in the management of a patient. An RSV inhibitor compound as disclosed herein may be administered by oral, intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intranasal or other conventional route which is employed in the art. Oral administration of an RSV inhibitory compound in the form of a tablet, capsule, syrup, elixir or the like is presently preferred. Suitable formulations of the active compound in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable diluents and carriers in therapeutic dosage form may be readily prepared by reference to general texts in the field of pharmaceutical science such as Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Ed., A. Gennaro, 17th Edition, 1985, Mack Publishing Co., Easton PA.

RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS ASSAY
This example describes a tetrazolium-based cell viability assay and demonstrates the anti-RSV activity of various compounds which were prepared as described above. The tetrazolium based cell viability assay is based upon the ability of mitochondrial dehydrogenase which is present in viable cells to catalyze the reduction of a yellow tetrazolium salt known as MTT [3-(4,5- dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylthtiazolium bromide] to a dark blue/purple formazon product, generally as described by K. Rubino et al., J. Virological Methods, 39, 55-67 (1992)
Formazan is only slightly soluble in aqueous solutions, and therefore appears as dark cell-associated crystals. The crystals may be readily solublized in an organic solvent and the absorbance of the resulting blue/purple solution may be quantified using a multi-well plate spectrophotometer. The absorbance values obtained by the method described below have been found to be directly proportional to the number of viable cells present. RSV infection results in a marked reduction in cell viability and thus a lowered rate of formazan production. The assay method gives a very low absorbance value (practically zero) in wells which contain virus-infected cells and no compound or a compound which lacks anti-RSV activity. Compounds which inhibit RSV replication should prevent cell death and will therefore result in an increased intensity of color of the formazan solution. The measurement of viral growth as a function of cell viability allows the assay to be used for establishing levels of compound cytotoxicity in uninfected cells within the same assay. Thus, the assay provides a rapid colorimetric method for measuring RSV specific cytopathic effect. The HEp-2 cells and RSV strain A2 virus which are used in the assay are publicly available and were obtained from the American Tissue Culture Collection. HEp-2 cells correspond to ATCC accession no. CCL32; and Respiratory Syncytial Virus, strain A2 corresponds to ATCC accession no. VR-1302. Respiratory syncytial virus was grown (i.e., multiplied) and titered in HEp-2 cells.
The RSV inhibition assay was carried out as follows. The assay was performed in 96 well microtiter plates seeded with 2.5xl04 cells per well. To provide a sufficient number of cells to seed the plates, stock cultures of HEp-2 cells were first grown in tissue culture flasks to about 80-100% confluency. The cell layer was washed with room temperature PBS (without calcium and magnesium) and then trypsinized (JRH Biosciences cat. #59- 22877P) in a minimal volume of trypsin solution at 37°C to detach them from the growth surface. Detached cells were resuspended and carefully dispersed in Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) (JRH Biosciences cat. #210-3510) containing 2% FBS (fetal bovine serum) and the concentration of viable cells was determined by trypan blue exclusion.
Cell density was adjusted to 2.5 x 105 viable cells/ml by further dilution in MEM + 2% FBS.
Test compound(s) and positive control (ribavirin) were added and serially diluted in the microtiter plate to the desired concentrations (8 replicates/compound/ concentration plus 8 control wells/plate which received no compound) .
The cell suspension was divided into a first portion to which respiratory syncytial virus (RSV A2) was added at a multiplicity of infection of 1, and a second portion to which no virus was added. The virus-infected cell suspension was mixed by low speed vortexing and 100 μl of the virus-infected cell suspension was immediately added to half of the wells in the 96 well plate (corresponding to 4 replicates of each compound dilution) . 100 μl of the virus-free cell suspension was added to the other half of the wells in the microtiter plate (corresponding to the other 4 replicates for each compound and dilution) . A multiplicity of infection equal to 1 was selected based on the observation this concentration of virus is just sufficient to produce a cytopathic effect that essentially eliminated MTT metabolism in infected, untreated cells during the time course of the assay (determined previously by a viral dilution assay) .
The plates were incubated at 37°C, 5% C02 for 5 to 6 days.
After the incubation period, MTT (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, Cat. #M2128) was dissolved in serum free MEM to give a 3mg/ml solution and 100 μl of MTT solution was added to each well and the plates further incubated for 2 hours at 37°C. The reaction was stopped by aspiration of the media to chemical waste, being careful not to remove the formazan crystals, and 200 μl of isopropanol was added to the wells to dissolve the crystals. The optical density of the formazan/isopropanol solution from each well was determined using a Dynatech MR5000 multiplate reader at 570 nm with a 630 nm reference. The multiplate reader was connected to a computer which received and stored the optical density values on a file server such that the optical density values could be later calculated.
The optical density obtained for each of the four replicate wells per assay condition were averaged and used - 46 - in the following formula derived by N-Ayisi et al., J. Virological Methods, 33, 335-344 (1991), to calculate the % cell protection values for each compound/concentration. The % cell protection values and % cytotoxicity values were in turn used to calculate the EC50 and CC50 values.

(ODT)mock = optical density in the absence of virus, but in the presence of compound
(ODC)mock = optical density in the absence of virus and in the absence of compound
(ODC)RSV = optical density in the presence of virus, but in the absence of compound
The EC50 values were calculated from the % cell protection values obtained. The CC50 values were calculated from the % cytotoxicity values obtained. The data was best fit to a curve using an adaptation of the Levenberg-Marquardt method of least squares minimization as explained in the book Numerical Recipes in C (Second Edition) by Cambridge University Press, in chapter 15, page 683 in accordance with the following algorithm:
y = (D - A)/(l + exp(B*C - B*ln(x)))
where: y = dependent variable (biological response) x — independent variable (concentration of compound tested) A = minimum value of assay B = "slope"
C = ln(EC50) (or ln(CC50)) D = maximum value of assay
* represents multiplication.
The nonlinear regression routine used allows for weighted adjustments based on standard deviation of each observed data value. However, this implementation assumes that data errors are normally distributed uniformly across the range of the observed values, so the array of sigmas are just set to 1.0's to effectively remove the weighing. To fit the data to a curve so as to obtain EC50 and
CC50 values, first A is set to equal a value which is 0.99
* the minimum observed assay value; D is set to equal 1.01
* the maximum observed assay value; slope (B) is calculated by applying the LINEST Excel function (Microsoft Excel Version 4.0, function reference p.254, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA) to the sets of predicted valules and predicted concentrations; and C, the ln(EC50) , equals the Y-intercept calculated by applying the LINEST Excel function to the sets of predicted values and predicted concentrations. In the event that the obtained results show D or A to differ significantly from 100% or 0% respectively, curve fits were repeated with the value for D fixed to 100% and/or the value of A fixed to 0%, in which case the program calculates only the slope and the ln(EC50) values using the fixed minimum and maximum provided.
The predicted values are calculated as follows:
min + (max - min)
(1 + exp(slope * ln(EC50) - slope * ln(observed value)))
The predicted concentrations are calculated as In(concentration) .
The maximum number of iterations performed to achieve convergence is 100, and the convergence criterion relative to Y values is 0.00000001. The results of the inhibition assay are set forth in the following table.
