Design and synthesis of vidarabine prodrugs as antiviral agents.

ABSTRACT: 5'-O-D- and L-amino acid derivatives and 5'-O-(D- and L-amino acid methyl ester phosphoramidate) derivatives of vidarabine (ara-A) were synthesized as vidarabine prodrugs. Some compounds were equi- or more potent in vitro than vidarabine against two pox viruses and their uptake by cultured cells was improved compared to the parent drug.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of antiviral agents targeting flavivirus envelope proteins.

Project description:Flavivirus envelope proteins (E proteins) have been shown to play a pivotal role in virus assembly, morphogenesis, and infection of host cells. Inhibition of flavivirus infection of a host cell by means of a small molecule envelope protein antagonist is an attractive strategy for the development of antiviral agents. Virtual screening of the NCI chemical database using the dengue virus envelope protein structure revealed several hypothetical hit compounds. Bioassay results identified a class of thiazole compounds with antiviral potency in cell-based assays. Modification of these lead compounds led to a series of analogues with improved antiviral activity and decreased cytotoxicity. The most active compounds 11 and 36 were effective in the low micromolar concentration range in a cellular assay system.

Design and synthesis of phosphotyrosine peptidomimetic prodrugs.

Project description:A novel approach to the intracellular delivery of aryl phosphates has been developed that utilizes a phosphoramidate-based prodrug approach. The prodrugs contain an ester group that undergoes reductive activation intracellularly with concomitant expulsion of a phosphoramidate anion. This anion undergoes intramolecular cyclization and hydrolysis to generate aryl phosphate exclusively with a t(1/2) = approximately 20 min. Phosphoramidate prodrugs (8-10) of phosphate-containing peptidomimetics that target the SH2 domain were synthesized. Evaluation of these peptidomimetic prodrugs in a growth inhibition assay and in a cell-based transcriptional assay demonstrated that the prodrugs had IC50 values in the low micromolar range. Synthesis of phosphorodiamidate analogues containing a P-NH-Ar linker (16-18) was also carried out in the hope that the phosphoramidates released might be phosphatase-resistant. Comparable activation rates and cell-based activities were observed for these prodrugs, but the intermediate phosphoramidate dianion underwent spontaneous hydrolysis with a t(1/2) = approximately 30 min.

Design, Synthesis and In-Vitro Biological Evaluation of Antofine and Tylophorine Prodrugs as Hypoxia-Targeted Anticancer Agents.

Project description:Phenanthroindolizidines, such as antofine and tylophorine, are a family of natural alkaloids isolated from different species of Asclepiadaceas. They are characterized by interesting biological activities, such as pronounced cytotoxicity against different human cancerous cell lines, including multidrug-resistant examples. Nonetheless, these derivatives are associated with severe neurotoxicity and loss of in vivo activity due to the highly lipophilic nature of the alkaloids. Here, we describe the development of highly polar prodrugs of antofine and tylophorine as hypoxia-targeted prodrugs. The developed quaternary ammonium salts of phenanthroindolizidines showed high chemical and metabolic stability and are predicted to have no penetration through the blood-brain barrier. The designed prodrugs displayed decreased cytotoxicity when tested under normoxic conditions. However, their cytotoxic activity considerably increased when tested under hypoxic conditions.

γ-Non-Symmetrically Dimasked TriPPPro Prodrugs as Potential Antiviral Agents against HIV.

Project description:Nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) and nucleoside analogue monophosphate prodrugs are used in combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The design of antivirally active nucleoside triphosphate prodrugs is a recent and an important advancement in the field of nucleoside analogue drug development. Here, we report on TriPPPro-derivatives of nucleoside analogue triphosphates (NTPs) that comprised two different acyloxybenzyl-masks at the γ-phosphate of the NTP aiming to achieve the metabolic bypass. Thus, γ-non-symmetrically dimasked TriPPPro-compounds (γ-(AB,ab)-d4TTPs) were synthesized and they proved to be active against HIV-1 and HIV-2 in cultures of infected wild-type human CD4+ T-lymphocyte (CEM/0) cells and more importantly also in thymidine kinase-deficient CD4+ T-cells (CEM/TK-). From hydrolysis studies both in phosphate buffer (PB, pH 7.3) and CEM cell extracts, there was surprisingly no differentiation in the cleavage of the two acyloxybenzyl prodrug-masks. However, if within one of the two acyloxybenzyl groups a short PEG-type methoxytriglycol group was introduced, the "standard" acyloxybenzyl-mask was cleaved with high preference.

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of prodrugs of ertapenem.

Project description:Carbapenems are intravenous lifesaving hospital antibiotics. Once patients leave the hospital, they are sent home with antibiotics other than carbapenems since they cannot be administered orally due to lack of oral absorption primarily because of very highly polarity. A prodrug approach is a bona fide strategy to improve oral absorption of compounds. Design and synthesis, in vitro and in vivo evaluation of diversified prodrugs of ertapenem, one of the only once daily dosed carbapenems is described. Many of the prodrugs prepared for evaluation are rapidly hydrolyzed in rat plasma. Only bis-(5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4-yl)methyl (medoxomil) ester prodrug was rapidly hydrolyzed in most of the plasmas including rat, human, dog, and monkey. Although the rate of conversion of ertapenem diethyl ester prodrug (6) was slow in in vitro plasma hydrolysis, it showed the best in vivo pharmacokinetic profile in dog by an intraduodenal dosing giving >31% total oral absorption.

Substituted 3-benzylcoumarins as allosteric MEK1 inhibitors: design, synthesis and biological evaluation as antiviral agents.

Project description:In order to find novel antiviral agents, a series of allosteric MEK1 inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Based on docking results, multiple optimizations were made on the coumarin scaffold. Some of the derivatives showed excellent MEK1 binding affinity in the appropriate enzymatic assays and displayed obvious inhibitory effects on the ERK pathway in a cellular assay. These compounds also significantly inhibited virus (EV71) replication in HEK293 and RD cells. Several compounds showed potential as agents for the treatment of viral infective diseases, with the most potent compound 18 showing an IC?? value of 54.57 nM in the MEK1 binding assay.

Phosphotyrosine prodrugs: design, synthesis and anti-STAT3 activity of ISS-610 aryloxy triester phosphoramidate prodrugs.

Project description:Unmasked phohate groups of phosphotyrosine-containing molecules carry two negative charges at physiological pH, which compromise their (passive) cellular uptake. Also, these phosphate groups are often cleaved off by phosphatases. Together, these ultimately limit the pharmacological efficacy of the phosphotyrosine-containing compounds. To address these drawbacks, we herein present the application of the aryloxy triester phosphoramidate prodrug technology, a monophosphate prodrug technology, to the phosphotyrosine-containing compound ISS-610-Met, an analogue of the anticancer STAT3 dimerization inhibitor ISS-610. Our data shows that the generated ISS-610-Met prodrugs exhibited enhanced pharmacological activity and inhibition of STAT3 downstream signaling compared to the parent compound ISS-610-Met and the known STAT3 dimerization inhibitor ISS-610. These encouraging results provide a compelling proof of concept for the potential of the aryloxy triester phosphoramidate prodrug technology in the discovery of novel therapeutics that contain phosphotyrosine and its phospho mimics.

Serine peptide phosphoester prodrugs of cyclic cidofovir: synthesis, transport, and antiviral activity.

Project description:Cidofovir (HPMPC, 1), a broad-spectrum antiviral agent, is currently used to treat AIDS-related human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) retinitis and has recognized therapeutic potential for orthopox virus infections, but is limited by its low oral bioavailability. Cyclic cidofovir (2) displays decreased nephrotoxicity compared to 1, while also exhibiting potent antiviral activity. Here we describe in detail the synthesis and evaluation as prodrugs of four cHPMPC dipeptide conjugates in which the free POH of 2 is esterified by the Ser side chain alcohol group of an X-L-Ser(OMe) dipeptide: 3 (X=L-Ala), 4 (X=L-Val), 5 (X=L-Leu), and 6 (X=L-Phe). Perfusion studies in the rat establish that the mesenteric permeability to 4 is more than 20-fold greater than to 1, and the bioavailability of 4 is increased 6-fold relative to 1 in an in vivo murine model. In gastrointestinal and liver homogenates, the cHPMPC prodrugs are rapidly hydrolyzed to 2. Prodrugs 3, 4, and 5 are nontoxic at 100 microM in HFF and KB cells and in cell-based plaque reduction assays had IC 50 values of 0.1-0.5 microM for HCMV and 10 microM for two orthopox viruses (vaccinia and cowpox). The enhanced transport properties of 3-6, conferred by incorporation of a biologically benign dipeptide moiety, and the facile cleavage of the Ser-O-P linkage suggest that these prodrugs represent a promising new approach to enhancing the bioavailability of 2.

Synthesis, transport and antiviral activity of Ala-Ser and Val-Ser prodrugs of cidofovir.

Project description:We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of Ala-(Val-)l-Ser-CO(2)R prodrugs of 1, where a dipeptide promoiety is conjugated to the P(OH)(2) group of cidofovir (1) via esterification by the Ser side chain hydroxyl group and an ethyl group (4 and 5) or alone (6 and 7). In a murine model, oral administration of 4 or 5 did not significantly increase total cidofovir species in the plasma compared to 1 or 2, but 7 resulted in a 15-fold increase in a rat model and had an in vitro EC(50) value against human cytomegalovirus comparable to 1. Neither 6 nor 7 exhibited toxicity up to 100 ?M in KB or HFF cells.
