The present invention is directed to betulinol derivatives and betulinol-antibody conjugates having the formulae:
1
and
HO-antibody-spacer-(A
2
)
n
wherein
A
1
is a moiety having the formula:
2
A
2
is a moiety having the formula:
3
n is an integer from 1 to 100;
X and Y
1
are each independently selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an alkanoyloxy group, and a-peptide-NHNH—C(O)-antibody-OH moiety;
Y
2
is selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, and an alkanoyloxy group; and
HO-antibody-H is an antibody
and, in particular, betulinol dimethyl ether. Methods for making and using these derivatives and conjugates, as well as a method for making and using betulonic aldehyde, are also disclosed.
The present invention relates to methods of treating HIV-1 infection in a subject. These methods involve administering to the subject with HIV-1 infection a therapeutically effective amount of a conjugated or immunoconjugated betulinol derivative compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or derivative thereof, under conditions effective to treat the subject for HIV-1 infection. Also disclosed are methods inhibiting HIV-1 activity in a cell. These methods involve providing a cell infected with HIV-1 and contacting the cell with a conjugated or immunoconjugated betulinol derivative compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or derivative thereof, under conditions effective to inhibit HIV-1 activity in the cell.
