(en)CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This Continuation application claims the benefit of U.S. Ser. No. 11/835,462 filed Aug. 8, 2007, now allowed, which in turn claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application U.S. Ser. No. 60/836,996 filed Aug. 11, 2006, now expired.


The present disclosure is generally directed to antiviral compounds, and more specifically directed to compounds which can inhibit the function of the NS5A protein encoded by Hepatitis C virus (HCV), compositions comprising such compounds, and methods for inhibiting the function of the NS5A protein.
HCV is a major human pathogen, infecting an estimated 170 million persons worldwide—roughly five times the number infected by human immunodeficiency virus type 1. A substantial fraction of these HCV infected individuals develop serious progressive liver disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Presently, the most effective HCV therapy employs a combination of alpha-interferon and ribavirin, leading to sustained efficacy in 40% of patients. Recent clinical results demonstrate that pegylated alpha-interferon is superior to unmodified alpha-interferon as monotherapy. However, even with experimental therapeutic regimens involving combinations of pegylated alpha-interferon and ribavirin, a substantial fraction of patients do not have a sustained reduction in viral load. Thus, there is a clear and long-felt need to develop effective therapeutics for treatment of HCV infection.
HCV is a positive-stranded RNA virus. Based on a comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence and the extensive similarity in the 5′ untranslated region, HCV has been classified as a separate genus in the Flaviviridae family. All members of the Flaviviridae family have enveloped virions that contain a positive stranded RNA genome encoding all known virus-specific proteins via translation of a single, uninterrupted, open reading frame.
Considerable heterogeneity is found within the nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequence throughout the HCV genome. At least six major genotypes have been characterized, and more than 50 subtypes have been described. The major genotypes of HCV differ in their distribution worldwide, and the clinical significance of the genetic heterogeneity of HCV remains elusive despite numerous studies of the possible effect of genotypes on pathogenesis and therapy.
The single strand HCV RNA genome is approximately 9500 nucleotides in length and has a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a single large polyprotein of about 3000 amino acids. In infected cells, this polyprotein is cleaved at multiple sites by cellular and viral proteases to produce the structural and non-structural (NS) proteins. In the case of HCV, the generation of mature non-structural proteins (NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B) is effected by two viral proteases. The first one is believed to be a metalloprotease and cleaves at the NS2-NS3 junction; the second one is a serine protease contained within the N-terminal region of NS3 (also referred to herein as NS3 protease) and mediates all the subsequent cleavages downstream of NS3, both in cis, at the NS3-NS4A cleavage site, and in trans, for the remaining NS4A-NS4B, NS4B-NS5A, NS5A-NS5B sites. The NS4A protein appears to serve multiple functions, acting as a cofactor for the NS3 protease and possibly assisting in the membrane localization of NS3 and other viral replicase components. The complex formation of the NS3 protein with NS4A seems necessary to the processing events, enhancing the proteolytic efficiency at all of the sites. The NS3 protein also exhibits nucleoside triphosphatase and RNA helicase activities. NS5B (also referred to herein as HCV polymerase) is a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is involved in the replication of HCV.
Compounds useful for treating HCV-infected patients are desired which selectively inhibit HCV viral replication. In particular, compounds which are effective to inhibit the function of the NS5A protein are desired. The HCV NS5A protein is described, for example, in Tan, S.-L., Katzel, M. G. Virology 2001, 284, 1-12; and in Park, K.-J.; Choi, S.-H, J. Biological Chemistry 2003.

Asymmetric centers exist in the compounds of the present disclosure. These centers are designated by the symbols “R” or “S”, depending on the configuration of substituents around the chiral carbon atom. It should be understood that the disclosure encompasses all stereochemical isomeric forms, or mixtures thereof, which possess the ability to inhibit NS5A. Individual stereoisomers of compounds can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials which contain chiral centers or by preparation of mixtures of enantiomeric products followed by separation such as conversion to a mixture of diastereomers followed by separation or recrystallization, chromatographic techniques, or direct separation of enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns. Starting compounds of particular stereochemistry are either commercially available or can be made and resolved by techniques known in the art.
Certain compounds of the present disclosure may also exist in different stable conformational forms which may be separable. Torsional asymmetry due to restricted rotation about an asymmetric single bond, for example because of steric hindrance or ring strain, may permit separation of different conformers. The present disclosure includes each conformational isomer of these compounds and mixtures thereof.
The term “compounds of the present disclosure”, and equivalent expressions, are meant to embrace compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable enantiomers, diastereomers, and salts thereof. Similarly, references to intermediates are meant to embrace their salts where the context so permits.
The compounds of the present disclosure can exist as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt,” as used herein, represents salts or zwitterionic forms of the compounds of the present disclosure which are water or oil-soluble or dispersible, which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of patients without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and are effective for their intended use The salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting a suitable nitrogen atom with a suitable acid. Representative acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, citrate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate; digluconate, dihydrobromide, dihydrochloride, dihydroiodide, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, formate, fumarate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, mesitylenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, naphthylenesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylproprionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, trichloroacetate, trifluoroacetate, phosphate, glutamate, bicarbonate, para-toluenesulfonate, and undecanoate.

Basic addition salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds by reacting a carboxy group with a suitable base such as the hydroxide, carbonate, or bicarbonate of a metal cation or with ammonia or an organic primary, secondary, or tertiary amine. The cations of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum, as well as nontoxic quaternary amine cations such as ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, diethylamine, ethylamine, tributylamine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaniline, N-methylpiperidine, N-methylmorpholine, dicyclohexylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N,N-dibenzylphenethylamine, and N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine. Other representative organic amines useful for the formation of base addition salts include ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperidine, and piperazine.
When it is possible that, for use in therapy, therapeutically effective amounts of a compound of formula (I), as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may be administered as the raw chemical, it is possible to present the active ingredient as a pharmaceutical composition. Accordingly, the disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions, which include therapeutically effective amounts of compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The term “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refers to the total amount of each active component that is sufficient to show a meaningful patient benefit, e.g., a reduction in viral load. When applied to an individual active ingredient, administered alone, the term refers to that ingredient alone. When applied to a combination, the term refers to combined amounts of the active ingredients that result in the therapeutic effect, whether administered in combination, serially, or simultaneously. The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are as described above. The carrier(s), diluent(s), or excipient(s) must be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. In accordance with another aspect of the present disclosure there is also provided a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical formulation including admixing a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable,” as used herein, refers to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of patients without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and are effective for their intended use.
Pharmaceutical formulations may be presented in unit dose forms containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient per unit dose. Dosage levels of between about 0.01 and about 250 milligram per kilogram (“mg/kg”) body weight per day, preferably between about 0.05 and about 100 mg/kg body weight per day of the compounds of the present disclosure are typical in a monotherapy for the prevention and treatment of HCV mediated disease. Typically, the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure will be administered from about 1 to about 5 times per day or alternatively, as a continuous infusion. Such administration can be used as a chronic or acute therapy. The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition, the time of administration, the route of administration, the rate of excretion of the compound employed, the duration of treatment, and the age, gender, weight, and condition of the patient. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Treatment may be initiated with small dosages substantially less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. In general, the compound is most desirably administered at a concentration level that will generally afford antivirally effective results without causing any harmful or deleterious side effects.
When the compositions of this disclosure comprise a combination of a compound of the present disclosure and one or more additional therapeutic or prophylactic agent, both the compound and the additional agent are usually present at dosage levels of between about 10 to 150%, and more preferably between about 10 and 80% of the dosage normally administered in a monotherapy regimen.
Pharmaceutical formulations may be adapted for administration by any appropriate route, for example by the oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual, or transdermal), vaginal, or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intracutaneous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional, intravenous, or intradermal injections or infusions) route. Such formulations may be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy, for example by bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier(s) or excipient(s). Oral administration or administration by injection are preferred.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or whips; or oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil emulsions.
For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with a similarly comminuted pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate, as, for example, starch or mannitol. Flavoring, preservative, dispersing, and coloring agent can also be present.
Capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture, as described above, and filling formed gelatin sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested.
Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, betonite, xanthan gum, and the like. Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant, and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitable comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethylcellulose, an aliginate, gelating, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt and/or and absorption agent such as betonite, kaolin, or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting with a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acadia mucilage, or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc, or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compounds of the present disclosure can also be combined with a free flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material, and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.
Oral fluids such as solution, syrups, and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a non-toxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxyethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives, flavor additive such as peppermint oil or natural sweeteners, or saccharin or other artificial sweeteners, and the like can also be added.
Where appropriate, dosage unit formulations for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release as for example by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax, or the like.
The compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine, or phophatidylcholines.
The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may also be delivered by the use of monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled. The compounds may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamidephenol, polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxidepolylysine substituted with palitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates, and cross-linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for transdermal administration may be presented as discrete patches intended to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period of time. For example, the active ingredient may be delivered from the patch by iontophoresis as generally described in Pharmaceutical Research 1986, 3(6), 318.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administration may be formulated as ointments, creams, suspensions, lotions, powders, solutions, pastes, gels, sprays, aerosols, or oils.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for rectal administration may be presented as suppositories or as enemas.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for nasal administration wherein the carrier is a solid include a course powder having a particle size for example in the range 20 to 500 microns which is administered in the manner in which snuff is taken, i.e., by rapid inhalation through the nasal passage from a container of the powder held close up to the nose. Suitable formulations wherein the carrier is a liquid, for administration as a nasal spray or nasal drops, include aqueous or oil solutions of the active ingredient.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for administration by inhalation include fine particle dusts or mists, which may be generated by means of various types of metered, dose pressurized aerosols, nebulizers, or insufflators.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or spray formulations.
Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and soutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injections, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets.
It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.
The term “patient” includes both human and other mammals.
The term “treating” refers to: (i) preventing a disease, disorder or condition from occurring in a patient that may be predisposed to the disease, disorder, and/or condition but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (ii) inhibiting the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., arresting its development; and (iii) relieving the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., causing regression of the disease, disorder, and/or condition.
The compounds of the present disclosure can also be administered with a cyclosporin, for example, cyclosporin A. Cyclosporin A has been shown to be active against HCV in clinical trials ( Hepatology 2003, 38, 1282; Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2004, 313, 42; J. Gastroenterol. 2003, 38, 567).
Table 1 below lists some illustrative examples of compounds that can be administered with the compounds of this disclosure. The compounds of the disclosure can be administered with other anti-HCV activity compounds in combination therapy, either jointly or separately, or by combining the compounds into a composition.

The compounds and processes of the present disclosure will be better understood in connection with the following synthetic schemes which illustrate the methods by which the compounds of the present disclosure may be prepared. Starting materials can be obtained from commercial sources or prepared by well-established literature methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art. It will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the compounds defined above can be synthesized by substitution of the appropriate reactants and agents in the syntheses shown below. It will also be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that the selective protection and deprotection steps, as well as the order of the steps themselves, can be carried out in varying order, depending on the nature of the variables to successfully complete the syntheses below. The variables are as defined above unless otherwise noted below.
Scheme 1
Symmetric or Asymmetric Biphenyls
Aryl halide 1 and boronic ester 2 can be coupled to produce biaryl 3 using standard Suzuki-Miayura coupling conditions ( Angew Chem. Int. Ed. Engl 2001, 40, 4544). It should be noted that the boronic acid analog of 2 may be used in place of the ester. Mono-deprotection of the pyrrolidine moiety may be accomplished when R 12 and R 13 are different. When R 12 =benzyl, and R 13 =t-butyl treatment to hydrogenolytic conditions produces 4. For example, Pd/C catalyst in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate can be used. Acylation of 4 can be accomplished under standard acylation conditions. A coupling reagent such as HATU in combination with an amine base such as Hunig's base can be used in this regard. Alternatively, 4 may be reacted with an isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride to provide compounds of formula 5 where R 9 is an amine. Further deprotection of 5 can be accomplished by treatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Standard conditions analogous to those used to convert 4 to 5 can be used to prepare 7 from 6. In another embodiment where R 12 =R 13 =t-Bu, direct conversion to 8 can be accomplished by treatment of 3 with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Conversion of 8 to 7 is accomplished in analogous fashion to the methods used to prepare 5 from 4 or 7 from 6. In this instance however, the caps in 7 will be identical.









Conversion of 6 (from Scheme 1) to 10 can be done using standard amide coupling conditions such as HATU with an amine base, such as Hunig's base. Deprotection can be accomplished with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid affording 11. Compound 11 can then be converted to 12, 13, or 14 using an acid chloride, an isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride, or a chloroformate respectively.









Compound 15 (15=7 (Scheme 1) wherein each R 9 is —CH(NHBoc)R 18 ) can be converted to 16 via treatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Compounds 17, 18, and 19 can be prepared from 16 by treating 16 with an appropriate chloroformate, isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride, or an acid chloride respectively.









Symmetrical biphenyl analogs (compounds of formula 7 where both halves of the molecule are equivalent) can be synthesized starting from bromoketone 20. Amination by displacement with a nucleophile such as azide, phthalimide or preferably sodium diformylamide (Yinglin and Hongwen, Synthesis 1990, 122) followed by deprotection affords 21. Condensation under standard amination conditions such as HATU and Hunig's base with an appropriately protected amino acid provides 22. Heating with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditions results in the formation of 3 which can be deprotected with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid (R 12 =R 13 =t-Bu) or by hydrogenolysis with hydrogen gas and a transition metal catalyst such as Pd/C(R 12 =R 13 =benzyl). Acylation can be affected with a carboxylic acid (R 9 CO 2 H) in a manner similar to the conversion of 21 to 22. Urea formation can be accomplished by treatment with an appropriate isocycante (R 9 =R 24 R 25 N; R 25 ═H) or carbamoyl chloride (R 9 =R 24 R 25 N; R 25 is other than hydrogen).









Scheme 5 describes the preparation of some of the starting materials required for the synthetic sequences depicted in Schemes 1-4. Key intermediate 25 (analogous to 1 in Scheme 1) is prepared from keto-amide 24 or keto-ester 27 via heating with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditions. Keto-amide 24 can be prepared from 23 via condensation with an appropriate cyclic or acyclic amino acid under standard amide formation conditions. Bromide 26 can give rise to 23 by treatment with a nucleophile such as azide, phthalimide or sodium diformylamide ( Synthesis 1990, 122) followed by deprotection. Bromide 26 can also be converted to 27 by reacting with an appropriate cyclic or acyclic N-protected amino acid in the presence of base such as potassium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. Bromination of 28 with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, NBS, or CBr 4 results in the formation of 26. Bromide 25 can be converted to boronic ester 2 via treatment with bis-pinacalotodiboron under palladium catalysis according to the method described in Journal of Organic Chemistry 1995, 60, 7508, or variations thereof.









In another embodiment, starting materials such as 31a (analogous to 25 in Scheme 5 and 1 in Scheme 1) may be prepared by reacting bromoimidazole derivatives 31 under Suzuki-type coupling conditions with a variety of chloro-substituted aryl boronic acids which can either be prepared by standard methodologies (see, for example, Organic Letters 2006, 8, 305 and references cited therein) or purchased from commercial suppliers. Bromoimidazole 31 can be obtained by brominating imidazole 30 with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, CBr 4 , or N-bromosuccinimide. Imidazole 30 can be prepared from N-protected amino acids which are appropriately substituted by reacting with glyoxal in a methanolic solution of ammonium hydroxide.









In yet another embodiment of the current disclosure, aryl halide 32 can be coupled under Suzuki-Miyaura palladium catalyzed conditions to form the heteroaryl derivative 34. Compound 34 can be elaborated to 35 by treatment to hydrogenolytic conditions with hydrogen and a transition metal catalyst such as palladium on carbon (R 13 =benzyl). Acylation of 35 can be accomplished with an appropriate acid chloride (R 9 COCl) in the presence of a base such as triethylamine, with an appropriately substituted carboxylic acid (R 9 CO 2 H) in the presence of a standard coupling reagent such as HATU, or with an isoscyanate (R 27 NCO wherein R 9 =R 27 R 28 N—; R 28 ═H) or carbamoyl chloride (R 27 R 28 NCOCl wherein R 9 =R 27 R 28 N—). Compound 37 can be prepared from 36 (R 12 =t-Bu) via treatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Acylation of the resulting amine in 37 to give 38 can be accomplished as in the transformation of 35 to 36. In cases where R 12 =R 13 , 34 can be directly transformed into 39 by treatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid (R 12 =R 13 =t-Bu) or by employing hydrogenolytic conditions with hydrogen and a transition metal catalyst such as palladium on carbon (R 12 =R 13 =benzyl). Acylation of 39 can be accomplished in analogous fashion to that described for the transformation of 35 to 36.









Heteroaryl chloride 29 can be converted to symmetrical analog 40 via treatment with a source of palladium such as dichlorobis(benzonitrile) palladium in the presence of tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene at elevated temperature. Removal of the SEM ether and Boc carbamates found in 40 can be accomplished in one step by treatment with a strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid providing 41. Conversion to 42 can be accomplished in similar fashion to the conditions used to convert 38 to 39 in Scheme 7.









Compound 43 (analogous to 42 wherein R 23 =—CH(NHBoc)R 24 ) may be elaborated to 45, 46, and 47 via similar methodologies to those described in Scheme 3. In cases where R 20 =alkoxymethyl (ie; SEM), removal can be accomplished simultaneously with removal of the Boc carbamate (cf; 43 to 44) using strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid.









Heteroaryl bromides 54 may be reacted with a vinyl stannane such as tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)tin in the presence of a source of palladium such as dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) to provide 55 which can be subsequently transformed into bromoketone 51 via treatment with a source of bromonium ion such as N-bormosuccinimide, CBr 4 , or bromine. Alternatively, keto-substituted heteroaryl bromides 53 may be directly converted to 51 via treatment with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, CBr 4 , or N-bromosuccinimide. Bromide 51 can be converted to aminoketone 48 via addition of sodium azide, potassium phthalimide or sodium diformylamide ( Synthesis 1990 122) followed by deprotection Aminoketone 48 can then be coupled with an appropriately substituted amino acid under standard amide formation conditions (i.e.; a coupling reagent such as HATU in the presence of a mild base such as Hunig's base) to provide 49. Compound 49 can then be further transformed into imidazole 50 via reacting with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditions. Alternatively, 51 can be directly reacted with an appropriately substituted amino acid in the presence of a base such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate providing 52 which can in turn be reacted with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditions to provide 50. Imidazole 50 can be protected with an alkoxylmethyl group by treatment with the appropriate alkoxymethyl halide such as 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl chloride after first being deprotonated with a strong base such as sodium hydride.









Substituted phenylglycine derivatives can be prepared by a number of methods shown below. Phenylglycine t-butyl ester can be reductively alkylated (pathway A) with an appropriate aldehyde and a reductant such as sodium cyanoborohydride in acidic medium. Hydrolysis of the t-butyl ester can be accomplished with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Alternatively, phenylglycine can be alkylated with an alkyl halide such as ethyl iodide and a base such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate (pathway B). Pathway C illustrates reductive alkylation of phenylglycine as in pathway A followed by a second reductive alkylation with an alternate aldehyde such as formaldehyde in the presence of a reducing agent and acid. Pathway D illustrates the synthesis of substituted phenylglycines via the corresponding mandelic acid analogs. Conversion of the secondary alcohol to a competent leaving group can be accomplished with p-toluensulfonyl chloride. Displacement of the tosylate group with an appropriate amine followed by reductive removal of the benzyl ester can provide substituted phenylglycine derivatives. In pathway E a racemic substituted phenylglycine derivative is resolved by esterification with an enantiomerically pure chiral auxiliary such as but not limited to (+)-1-phenylethanol, (−)-1-phenylethanol, an Evan's oxazolidinone, or enantiomerically pure pantolactone. Separation of the diastereomers is accomplished via chromatography (silica gel, HPLC, crystallization, etc) followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary providing enantiomerically pure phenylglycine derivatives. Pathway H illustrates a synthetic sequence which intersects with pathway E wherein the aforementioned chiral auxiliary is installed prior to amine addition. Alternatively, an ester of an arylacetic acid can be brominated with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, N-bromosuccinimide, or CBr 4 . The resultant benzylic bromide can be displaced with a variety of mono- or disubstituted amines in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine or Hunig's base. Hydrolysis of the methyl ester via treatment with lithium hydroxide at low temperature or 6N HCl at elevated temperature provides the substituted phenylglycine derivatives. Another method is shown in pathway G. Glycine analogs can be derivatized with a variety of aryl halides in the presence of a source of palladium (0) such as palladium bis(tributylphosphine) and base such as potassium phosphate. The resultant ester can then be hydrolyzed by treatment with base or acid. It should be understood that other well known methods to prepare phenylglycine derivatives exist in the art and can be amended to provide the desired compounds in this description. It should also be understood that the final phenylglycine derivatives can be purified to enantiomeric purity greater than 98% ee via preparative HPLC.









In another embodiment of the present disclosure, acylated phenylglycine derivatives may be prepared as illustrated below. Phenylglycine derivatives wherein the carboxylic acid is protected as an easily removed ester, may be acylated with an acid chloride in the presence of a base such as triethylamine to provide the corresponding amides (pathway A). Pathway B illustrates the acylation of the starting phenylglycine derivative with an appropriate chloroformate while pathway C shows reaction with an appropriate isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride. Each of the three intermediates shown in pathways A-C may be deprotected by methods known by those skilled in the art (ie; treatment of the t-butyl ester with strong base such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid).









Amino-substituted phenylacetic acids may be prepared by treatment of a chloromethylphenylacetic acid with an excess of an amine

Preparation of (S)-2-(methoxycarbonylamino)-3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)propanoic acid (Cap-126)









This procedure is a modification of that used to prepare Cap-51. To a suspension of (S)-2-amino-3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)propanoic acid (0.80 g, 4.70 mmol) in THF (10 mL) and H 2 O (10 mL) at 0° C. was added NaHCO 3 (0.88 g, 10.5 mmol). The resulting mixture was treated with ClCO 2 Me (0.40 mL, 5.20 mmol) and the mixture allowed to stir at 0° C. After stirring for ca. 2 h LCMS showed no starting material remaining. The reaction was acidified to pH 2 with 6 N HCl.
The solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue was suspended in 20 mL of 20% MeOH in CH 2 Cl 2 . The mixture was filtered and concentrated to give a light yellow foam (1.21 g). LCMS and 1 H NMR showed the material to be a 9:1 mixture of the methyl ester and the desired product. This material was taken up in THF (10 mL) and H 2 O (10 mL), cooled to 0° C. and LiOH (249.1 mg, 10.4 mmol) was added. After stirring ca. 1 h LCMS showed no ester remaining. Therefore the mixture was acidified with 6N HCl and the solvents removed in vacuo. LCMS and 1 H NMR confirm the absence of the ester. The title compound was obtained as its HCl salt contaminated with inorganic salts (1.91 g, >100%). The compound was used as is in subsequent steps without further purification.

The reaction flask was purged with nitrogen, capped and heated with an oil bath at 80° C. for 16.5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was partitioned carefully between CH 2 Cl 2 (150 mL) and an aqueous medium (50 mL water+10 mL saturated NaHCO 3 solution). The aqueous layer was extracted with CH 2 Cl 2 , and the combined organic phase was dried (MgSO 4 ), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting material was purified with flash chromatography (sample was loaded with eluting solvent; 20-35% ethyl acetate/CH 2 Cl 2 ) to provide boronate 1c, contaminated with pinacol, as an off-white dense solid; the relative mole ratio of 1c to pinacol was about 10:1 ( 1 H NMR).

A 50 mL flask equipped with a stir bar was sequentially charged with 2.5 mL acetonitrile, 0.344 g (2.25 mmol, 2.5 equiv) hydroxy benzotriazole hydrate, 0.374 g (2.13 mmol, 2.4 equiv) N-(methoxycarbonyl)-L-valine, 0.400 g (2.09 mmol, 2.4 equiv) 1-(3-dimethyaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and an additional 2.5 mL acetonitrile. The resulting solution was agitated at 20° C. for 1 hour and charged with 0.501 g (0.88 mmol, 1 equiv) Example A-1e-4. The slurry was cooled to about 0° C. and 0.45 g (3.48 mmol, 4 equiv) diisopropylethylamine was added over 30 minutes while maintaining a temperature below 10° C. The solution was slowly heated to 15° C. over 3 hours and held at 15° C. for 16 hours. The temperature was increased to 20° C. and stirred for 3.25 hours. The resulting solution was charged with 3.3 g of 13 wt % aqueous NaCl and heated to 50° C. for 1 hour. After cooling to 20° C., 2.5 mL of isopropyl acetate was added. The rich organic phase was washed with 2×6.9 g of a 0.5 N NaOH solution containing 13 wt % NaCl followed by 3.3 g of 13 wt % aqueous NaCl. The mixture was then solvent exchanged into isopropyl acetate by vacuum distillation to a target volume of 10 mL. The resulting hazy solution was cooled to 20° C. and filtered through a 0.45 μm filter. The clear solution was then solvent exchanged into ethanol by vacuum distillation with a target volume of 3 mL. 1.67 mL (2.02 mmol, 2.3 equiv) of 1.21 M HCl in ethanol was added. The mixture was then stirred at 25° C. for 15 hours. The resulting slurry was filtered and the wet cake was washed with 2.5 mL of 2:1 acetone:ethanol. The solids were dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. to give 0.550 g (0.68 mmol, 77%) of the desired product.
Recrystallization of Example 24-23

A solution of (S)-2-[5-(2-{4-[2-((S)-1-Benzyloxycarbonyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-phenyl}-pyrimidin-5-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (317.1 mg, 0.48 mmol) in MeOH (1 mL) was added to a stirred suspension of 10% palladium on carbon (60 mg) and K 2 CO 3 (70 mg) in a solution of MeOH (5 mL) and H 2 O (0.1 mL) at room temperature under N 2 . The flask was charged and evacuated three times with H 2 and stirred for 3 h at atmosphere pressure. Additional catalyst (20 mg) was then added and the reaction mixture was stirred further for 3 h before it was suction-filtered through diatomaceous earth (Celite®) and concentrated. The residue was diluted with MeOH, filtered through a PVDF syringe filter (13 mm×0.45 μm), distributed into 4 pHPLC vials and chromatographed (gradient elution from 20% B to 100% B over 10 min on a Phenomenex-Gemini C18 column (30×100 mm, 10 μm) where A=95% water, 5% acetonitrile, 10 mM NH 4 OAc, B=10% water, 90% acetonitrile, 10 mM NH 4 OAc). After concentration of the selected test tubes by speed vacuum evaporation, there was isolated the title compound as a yellow solid (142.5 mg, 56% yield).

Example 152k-1 from 152j-27. {(R)-2-Oxo-1 phenyl-2-[(S)-2-(5-{4-[5-((S)-2-pyrrolidin-2-yl-3H-imidazol-4-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-phenyl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-ethyl}-carbamic acid methyl ester









Cold (0° C.) 4 NHCl in dioxanes (4 mL) was added via syringe to (S)-2-{5-[2-(4-{2-[(S)-1-((R)-2-methoxycarbonylamino-2-phenyl-acetyl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (104.6 mg, 0.146 mmol) in a 100 mL pear-shaped flask followed by MeOH (0.5 mL). The homogeneous mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min before a precipitate was observed. After stirring further for 1.75 h, the suspension was diluted with ether and hexanes. Suction-filtration of a small portion of the suspension yielded the title compound as a yellow solid which was used for characterization purposes. The balance of the suspension was concentrated down to dryness and placed under high vacuum for 16 h. There was isolated the rest of the title compound also as a yellow solid (137.7 mg, 123%) which was used without further purification.

Preparation of 1-Methyl-2-(methylthio)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole hydroiodide









The title compound was prepared according to: Kister, J.; Assef, G.; Dou, H. J.-M.; Metzger, J. Tetrahedron 1976, 32, 1395. Thus, a solution of N-methylethylenediamine (10.8 g, 146 mmol) in EtOH—H 2 O (1:1, 90 mL) was preheated to 60° C. and CS 2 (9.0 mL, 150 mmol) was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was heated at 60° C. for 3 h and then conc. HCl (4.7 mL) was slowly added. The temperature was raised to 90° C. and stirring was continued for 6 h. After the cooled mixture had been stored at −20° C., it was filtered and the resulting solid dried in vacuo to afford 1-methylimidazolidine-2-thione (8.43 g, 50%) as a beige solid. 1 HNMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 5.15 (s, br, 1H), 3.67-3.70 (m, 2H), 3.53-3.58 (m, 2H), 3.11 (s, 3H).
To a suspension of 1-methylimidazolidine-2-thione (5.17 g, 44.5 mmol) in acetone (50 mL) was added MeI (2.9 mL, 46.6 mmol). The solution was allowed to stir at room temperature for 4 h and the resulting solid was quickly filtered and then dried in vacuo to give 1-methyl-2-(methylthio)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole hydroiodide (8.79 g, 77%) as beige solid.

Reaction was stirred at −78° C. for two hours and then warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 hours. Reaction was poured into saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and stirred until bubbling ceased. Layers were separated and aqueous layer washed one time with CH 2 Cl 2 . Combined organics were washed with brine, dried (MgSO 4 ), filtered, and concentrated to give a yellow oil. The oil was triturated with CH 2 Cl 2 and pentane to yield (3R,3′R,5S,5′S)-tert-butyl 5,5′-(5,5′-(biphenyl-4,4′-diyl)bis(1H-imidazole-5,2-diyl))bis(3-fluoropyrrolidine-1-carboxylate) JG-1 as a tan solid (0.98 g, 71%).

Step a: Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride (0.92 mL, 10 mmol) was added slowly to a solution of (S)-benzyl 2-amino-3-methylbutanoate hydrochloride (2.44 g; 10 mmol) and Hunig's base (3.67 mL, 21 mmol) in THF (50 mL). The resulting white suspension was stirred at room temperature overnight (16 hours) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO 4 ), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting yellow oil was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate:hexanes (1:1).

Example D5
(S)-tert-butyl 2-(5-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate









Bromine (0.54 mL, 10.6 mmol) was added dropwise to a cold (0° C.) solution of 4-bromo-2-fluoroacetophenone (2.30 g, 10.6 mmol) in dioxane (80 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (80 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C. and warmed to RT for 15 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated NaHCO 3 solution, 5% sodium thiosulfate solution and brine prior to drying (Na 2 SO 4 ). 2-Bromo-1-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)ethanone (D1) was isolated as a colorless film which solidified upon further concentration under high vacuum. This solid was dissolved into anhydrous acetonitrile (50 mL) and treated with N-Boc-L-proline (2.28 g, 10.6 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (1.85 mL, 10.6 mmol). After being stirred for 3 h at RT, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned into ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with 0.1N hydrochloric acid, saturated NaHCO 3 solution and brine prior to drying (Na 2 SO 4 ), filtration, and concentration. This residue was taken up in xylenes (50 mL) and treated to solid NH 4 OAc (4.1 g, 53.0 mmol). The mixture was heated at 140° C. for 2 hr in a thick-walled, screw-top flask before it was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated NaHCO 3 solution and brine prior to drying (Na 2 SO 4 ) and concentration. Purification of the residue by Biotage™ flash chromatography on silica gel (65M column, preequilibration with 16% B for 1800 mL followed by gradient elution with 16% B to 16% B for 450 mL, 16% B to 50% B for 2199 ml and finally 50% B to 100% B for 2199 mL) afforded title compound (D5) (3.61 g, 83%) as a brownish/caramel-colored oil. A small portion (40 mg) of the title compound was further purified by preparative HPLC (20% B to 100% B over 14 min where B is 10 mM NH 4 OAc in 10:90 H 2 O/ACN and A is 10 mM NH 4 OAc in 95:5 H 2 O/CAN using a Phenomenex-Gemini 30×100 mm S10 column flowing at 40 mL/min) to afford pure title compound (31.8 mg) as a white solid.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
An HCV Replion assay was utilized in the present disclosure, and was prepared, conducted and validated as described in commonly owned PCT/US2006/022197 and in O'Boyle et. al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2005 April; 49(4):1346-53.
HCV 1b-377-neo replicon cells were used to test the currently described compound series as well as cells resistant to compound A due to a Y2065H mutation in NS5A (described in application PCT/US2006/022197). The compounds tested were determined to have more than 10-fold less inhibitory activity on cells resistant to compound A than wild-type cells indicating a related mechanism of action between the two compound series. Thus, the compounds of the present disclosure can be effective to inhibit the function of the HCV NS5A protein and are understood to be as effective in combinations as previously described in application PCT/US2006/022197 and commonly owned WO/O4014852. Further, the compounds of the present disclosure can be effective against the HCV 1b genotype. It should also be understood that the compounds of the present disclosure can inhibit multiple genotypes of HCV. Table 2 shows the EC50 values of representative compounds of the present disclosure against the HCV 1b genotype. In one embodiment compounds of the present disclosure are active against the 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, and 5a genotypes. EC50 ranges against HCV 1b are as follows: A=1-10 μM; B=100-999 nM; C=1-99 nM; and D=10-999 pM.
The compounds of the present disclosure may inhibit HCV by mechanisms in addition to or other than NS5A inhibition. In one embodiment the compounds of the present disclosure inhibit HCV replicon and in another embodiment the compounds of the present disclosure inhibit NS5A.

It will be evident to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the foregoing illustrative examples, and that it can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the essential attributes thereof. It is therefore desired that the examples be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing examples, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
The compounds of the present disclosure may inhibit HCV by mechanisms in addition to or other than NS5A inhibition. In one embodiment the compounds of the present disclosure inhibit HCV replicon and in another embodiment the compounds of the present disclosure inhibit NS5A. Compounds of the present disclosure may inhibit multiple genotypes of HCV.
