ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention is in the field of antiviral agents and specifically relates to compounds, compositions and methods for treating Herpes Simplex Virus.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
There is a great need for new therapies for the treatment of viral diseases. Whereas there has been great progress in developing a variety of therapies for the treatment of bacterial infections, there are few viable therapies for the treatment of viruses. Zidovudine is the primary approved treatment for human immunodeficiency virus. Ganciclovir, acyclovir, and foscarnet are currently utilized for the treatment of herpesvirus infections. However, these therapies can have substantial side effects based on their deleterious effects on host cell DNA replication or their effect on a limited number of viral infections. In addition, viruses are known to develop resistance to therapies, which causes a progressive decline in efficacy.
Viruses are classified into broad categories based on whether they incorporate RNA or DNA. Important virus families classified of the DNA type include adenoviridae, poxviridae, papovaviridae and herpesviridae.
Herpesviridae is a family of DNA viruses which include herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2), cytomegalovirus (CMV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus-6 (HHV6), human herpesvirus-7 (HHV7), human herpesvirus-8 (HHV8), pseudorabies and rhinotracheitis, among others.
It is known that herpesviruses express their genetic content by directing the synthesis of a number of proteins encoded by the herpesvirus DNA in the host cell. One of the important virus-encoded proteins is made as a precursor consisting of an amino terminal-located protease and carboxyl terminal-located assembly protein. This precursor is proteolytically processed in an autocatalytic manner at a specific amino acid sequence known as the “release” site yielding separate protease and assembly protein. The assembly protein is cleaved further by the protease at another specific amino acid sequence known as the “maturation” cleavage site. Recently, EP 514,830, published Nov. 25, 1992, describes a virus-specific serene protease which has a role in herpesvirus replication. Additionally, Lui and Roizman (
J. Virol,
65, 5149 (1991)) describe the sequence and activity of a protease and the associated assembly protein encoded by U
L
26 of HSV-1. A. R. Welch et al. (
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci
. USA, 88, 10792 (1991) and WO93/01291, published Jan. 21, 1993) describe the related protease (also known as assemblin) and assembly protein encoded by U
L
80 of CMV. An approach currently being investigated for potential use in the treatment of herpesvirus infections is the development of inhibitors of herpesvirus proteases.
4H-3,1-Benzoxazinones have been described in the literature as having serine protease activity, among others. For example, Teshima et al. (
J. Biol. Chem.,
257, 5085-5091 (1982)) describes various 2-alkyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones as enzyme inhibitors. Moorman and Abeles (

Biochemistry,
26, 4126-4130, (1987)) describes 2-alkyl-4H-benzoxazin-4-ones, with further substitution at the 5, 6 and 7 positions, as inhibiting the elastase enzyme. WO92/18488 (published Oct. 29, 1992) describes 2-alkyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones with substitution at the 5 and 7 positions as selective inhibitors of elastase. EP Pub. 206,323 (published Dec. 30, 1985) describes 2-alkoxy-, 2-aryloxy- and 2-aralkoxy-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones, having substitution at the 5, 6, 7 and 8 positions, as enzyme inhibitors. U.S. Pat. No. 4,745,116 to A. Kranz et al. describes 2-alkoxy, 2-aryloxy- and 2-aralkoxy-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones, having further substitution at the 5, 7 and 8 positions, as enzyme inhibitors. U.S. Pat. No. 5,428,021 to Hiebert et al. describes 6-(aminoacid)amino-2-alkoxybenzoxazinones as elastase inhibitors. WO 96/07648, published Mar. 14, 1996, describes 2-phenylamino-benzoxaziones for the treatment of Alzheimer's, and specifically 6-chloro-2-(2-iodophenylamino)-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one is described.
2-Amino-4H-3,1-benzoxazinones have been described. A Krantz et al. (
J. Med. Chem.,
33, 464-479 (1990)) describes 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones substituted with alkyl, alkylamino, alkoxy and alkylthio substituents at the 2-position, and with further substitution at the 5, 6 and 7 positions, as elastase inhibitors. Uejima et al. (
J. Pharm. Exp. Ther.,
265, 516-522 (1993)) describe 2-alkylamino-5-methyl-7-acylamino-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones as highly selective elastase inhibitors with significant plasma stability. U.S. Pat. No. 4,657,893 to Krantz et al. describes 2-alkylamino- and 2-alkylurido-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones having further substitution at the 5,7 and 8 positions, as enzyme inhibitors.
