DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to certain hydrocarbon derivatives bearing polar substituents and their use in the inhibition of retroviral proteases, for example in the treatment of HIV viral infections such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The invention also relates to processes for preparing such hydrocarbon derivatives bearing polar substituents, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and to methods for the treatment or prophylaxis of retroviral infections. The invention also relates to a process for enhancing the water-solubility of a pharmaceutical or veterinary substance.


BACKGROUND ART

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a pathogenic retrovirus causing AIDS and its related disorders. The development of antiviral chemotherapy against AIDS has been the subject of an intense research effort since the discovery of HIV. (For a recent review on molecular targets for AIDS therapy see Mitsua et al, Science, 1990, pp 1533-1544). The HIV Proteases (HIV PR), and aspartyl proteases, were first suggested as a potential target for AIDS therapy by Kramer et al. (Science 231, 1580 (1986)). Since that time the potential usefulness of HIV PR inhibitors as effective agents in treatment of AIDS has been widely recognized (for a review of the HIV PR as a therapeutic target see Tomaselli et al. Chimica Oggi, May 1991, pp 6-27 and Huff J. R., J. Med. Chem. 34, 2314-2327 (1991)). Of the classical transition state mimics for aspartyl proteases, the hydroxyethylene, dihydroxyethylene, hydroxyethylamine and phosphinic acid isosteres appear to provide the greatest affinity for HIV PR. Many inhibitors of HIV PR have been shown to have an antiviral activity at concentrations in the nanomolar range in the different cell systems and are described as such in the patent literature.


OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide compounds useful as retroviral protease inhibitors. It is another object of the present invention to provide pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds useful for the treatment or prophylaxis of retroviral infections. It is a further object of the present invention to provide methods for the treatment or prophylaxis of retroviral infections, in particular AIDS. Other objects of the present invention are to provide processes for preparing compounds useful as retroviral protease inhibitors, and processes for enhancing the water-solubility of pharmaceutical or veterinary substances, in particular retroviral protease inhibitors.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention provides compounds which are useful as inhibitors of retroviral proteases, particularly aspartyl proteases and more particularly HIV proteases, and which are effective in treating conditions characterized by unwanted activity of these enzymes, in particular acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
In the following description of the invention, the teaching of each of the publications mentioned is incorporated herein by reference.
A first embodiment of the invention is directed to compounds of the general formula or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof: --Y*, --CN, --N.dbd.CR.sub.5 R.sub.5*, --C(R.sub.5).dbd.NR.sub.3, --C(R.sub.5).dbd.NOR.sub.3, --C(NR.sub.3 R.sub.4).dbd.NR.sub.5**, C(D)OR.sub.3, --C(D)SR.sub.3 and --C(D)NR.sub.3 R.sub.4, wherein consisting of R.sub.6 and a solubilising group Px which is labile in vivo, wherein R.sub.6 is selected from the group consisting of -C.sub.18)alkyl, -C.sub.18)alkenyl, -C.sub.18)alkynyl, independently are selected from hydrogen and R.sub.20 as previously defined, or R.sub.21 and R.sub.22 together, or R.sub.22 and R.sub.23 together form a saturated or unsaturated cyclic, bicyclic or fused ring system as defined below, unsaturated cyclic, bicyclic or fused ring system as defined below, is as defined below, R.sub.10 has the meaning of R.sub.6 as previously defined, defined, P(O)(OR.sub.7)R.sub.8, S(O).sub.z OR.sub.7 and S(O).sub.z NR.sub.7 R.sub.8, wherein z is 1 or 2 and R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 independently have the meaning of
