Application of the Phosphoramidate ProTide Approach to 4‘-Azidouridine Confers Sub-micromolar Potency versus Hepatitis C Virus on an Inactive Nucleoside
摘要:
We report the application of our phosphoramidate ProTide technology to the ribonucleoside analogue 4'-azidouridine to generate novel antiviral agents for the inhibition of hepatitis C virus (HCV). 4'-Azidouridine did not inhibit HCV, although 4'-azidocytidine was a potent inhibitor of HCV replication under similar assay conditions. However 4'-azidouridine triphosphate was a potent inhibitor of RNA synthesis by HCV polymerase, raising the question as to whether our phosphoramidate ProTide approach could effectively deliver 4'-azidouridine monophosphate to HCV replicon cells and unleash the antiviral potential of the triphosphate. Twenty-two phosphoramidates were prepared, including variations in the aryl, ester, and amino acid regions. A number of compounds showed sub-micromolar inhibition of HCV in cell culture without detectable cytotoxicity. These results confirm that phosphoramidate ProTides can deliver monophosphates of ribonucleoside analogues and suggest a potential path to the generation of novel antiviral agents against HCV infection. The generic message is that ProTide synthesis from inactive parent nucleosides may be a warranted drug discovery strategy.
The Application of Phosphoramidate Protide Technology to Acyclovir Confers Anti-HIV Inhibition
摘要:
Recently, it has been reported that phosphorylated acyclovir (ACV) inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase in a cell-free system. To deliver phosphorylated ACV inside cells, we designed ACV monophosphorylated derivatives using ProTide technology. We found that the L-alanine derived ProTides show anti-HIV activity at noncytotoxic concentrations; ester and aryl variation was tolerated, ACV ProTides with other amino acids, other than L-phenylalanine, showed no detectable activity against HIV in cell culture. The inhibitory activity of the prodrugs against herpes simplex virus (HSV) types-1 and -2 and thymidine kinase-deficient HSV-1 revealed different structure-activity relationships but was again consistent with successful nucleoside kinase bypass. Enzymatic and molecular modeling studies have been performed in order to better understand the antiviral behavior of these compounds. ProTides showing diminished carboxypeptidase lability translated to poor anti-HIV agents and vice versa, so the assay became predictive.

Targeting GNE Myopathy: A Dual Prodrug Approach for the Delivery of <i>N</i>-Acetylmannosamine 6-Phosphate
ProTides comprise an important class of prodrugs currently marketed and developed as antiviral and anticancer therapies. The ProTide technology employs phosphate masking groups capable of providing more favorable druglike properties and an intracellular activation mechanism for enzyme-mediated release of a nucleoside monophosphate. Herein, we describe the application of phosphoramidate chemistry to 1,3,4-O-acetylated N-acetylmannosamine (Ac(3)ManNAc) to deliver ManNAc-6-phosphate (ManNAc-6-P), a critical intermediate in sialic acid biosynthesis. Sialic acid deficiency is a hallmark of GNE myopathy, a rare congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) caused by mutations in GNE that limit the production of ManNAc-6-P. Synthetic methods were developed to provide a library of Ac(3)ManNAc-6-phosphoramidates that were evaluated in a series of studies for their potential as a treatment for GNE myopathy. Prodrug 12b showed rapid activation in a carboxylesterase (CPY) enzymatic assay and favorable ADME properties, while also being more effective than ManNAc at increasing sialic acid levels in GNE-deficient cell lines. These results provide a potential platform to address substrate deficiencies in GNE myopathy and other CDGs.
