Non-nucleoside Inhibitors of the Measles Virus RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase: Synthesis, Structure–Activity Relationships, and Pharmacokinetics
摘要:
The measles virus (MeV), a member of the paramyxovirus family, is an important cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide. In an effort to provide therapeutic treatments for improved measles management, we previously identified a small, non-nucleoside organic inhibitor of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase by means of high-throughput screening. Subsequent structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies around the corresponding pyrazole carboxamide scaffold led to the discovery of 2 (AS-136a), a first generation lead with low nanomolar potency against life MeV and attractive physical properties suitable for development. However, its poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability (F) in rat suggested that the lead could benefit from further SAR studies to improve the biophysical characteristics of the compound. Optimization of in vitro potency and aqueous solubility led to the discovery of 2o (ERDRP-00519), a potent inhibitor of MeV (EC50 = 60 nM) with an aqueous solubility of approximately 60 mu g/mL. The agent shows a 10-fold exposure (AUC/C-max) increase in the rat model relative to 2, displays near dose proportionality in the range of 10-50 mg/kg and exhibits good oral bioavailability (F = 39%). The significant solubility increase appears linked to the improved oral bioavailability.

Measles virus (MV) is one of the most infectious pathogens known. In spite of the existence of a vaccine, approximately 350000 deaths/year result from MV or associated complications. Antimeasles compounds Could conceivably diminish these statistics and provide a therapy that complements vaccine treatment. We recently described a high-throughput screening hit compound 1 (16677) against MV-infected cells with the capacity to eliminate viral reproduction at 250 nM by inhibiting the action of the virus's RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex (RdRp). The compound, 1-methyl-3-(trifluoroi-nethyl)-N-[4-sulfonylphenyl]-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide, 1 carries a critical CF3 moiety on the 1,2-pyrazole ring. Elaborating on the preliminary structure-activity (SAR) study, the present work presents the synthesis and SAR of a much broader range of low nanomolar nonpeptidic MV inhibitors and speculates on the role of the CF3 functionality.
