Anti Viral Compounds

This application claims benefit of patent application Nos. 61/107,448 filed October 22, 2008, 61/109,028 filed October 28, 2008, and 61/228,837 filed July 27, 2009, contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

There is provided small molecule anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) compounds as well as a phenotypic cell-based high throughput screening (HTS) assay for their identification.

Background of the Invention

Almost 30 years after it was first identified [1], HIV continues to be a serious worldwide health problem. Despite many years and billions of dollars invested in research and development aimed at finding a cure for HIV, people continue to be infected with HIV and die due to AIDS. In 2007 alone 2.5 million people were infected with HIV and 2.1 million people died. HIV remains a serious public health problem as there were 33.2 million people living with HIV in 2007 [2]. However, it is not all bad news as global rates of HIV infection have leveled off, and the number of deaths due to AIDS has decreased over the past few years [2]. This decrease coincides with the greater availability of antiretro viral therapy, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where the highest rates of HIV infection and AIDS is found [2]. HIV belongs to the retrovirus family, which contain genetic information in the form of RNA. There are two types of HIV, HIV-I and HIV-2. HIV-I is much more prevalent and is thought to have arisen from cross-species transmission of a chimpanzee virus to humans [3-5]. HIV infects T cells that express CD4 on their surface. HIV infection requires a fusion of viral and cellular membranes. This process is accomplished by viral envelope glycoprotein (gpl20, gp41) and receptors (CD4 and coreceptors, such as CXCR4 or CCR5) on the target cell. After

the virus enters the cell, its RNA is reverse - transcribed to the DNA by a viral enzyme, reverse transcriptase (RT). The viral DNA enters the nucleus, where it is integrated to the genetic material of the cell by the viral enzyme, integrase. When the cell receives a signal to become active, the provirus creates the mRNA through the transcription and then it is translated into viral proteins. The viral enzyme, protease is required to cut a viral polyprotein precursor into individual mature proteins. The HIV proteins and HIVs RNA genetic material assemble at the cell surface into new virions, which then bud from the cell and are released to infect another cell [6,7].

Current antiretroviral therapy is suppressive and cannot cure an individual of HIV infection. Furthermore, shortly after introduction of the first anti-HIV drug, azidothymidine (AZT), HIV-I demonstrated its ability to rapidly generate drug-resistant mutants. In order to overcome the problem of resistance when using one anti-viral agent, combination HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) is now widely used [2,8]. While effective, HAART requires a strict adherence to the treatment protocol and can have severe side-effects [2]. Current anti-HIV drugs are active on only a few targets and stages of the HIV life cycle. Many current drugs act at the stages of viral fusion, reverse transcription and viral maturation. Novel anti-viral compounds that affect other stages of the viral life cycle would be a valuable addition to the anti-HIV armamentarium.

Most the anti-HIV drug discovery performed to date has been focused on identifying inhibitors of known HIV targets (eg. reverse transcriptase, protease) [9]. In this manner, only a few of a potentially large number of targets can be interrogated for their effect on HIV infection.

It was an object of the present invention to develop a phenotypic cell-based assay suitable for high throughput screening that allows for the search of compounds that would prevent HIV infection and replication regardless of the target.

There is provided a high throughput, fully infectious HIV-I cell based assay used to screen a diverse small molecule library. The cell based assay has the advantage of opening up every step of the HIV-I life cycle, and allows for identification of compounds that may inhibit viral and host cell proteins involved in HIV-I infection and replication.

It was another object of the present invention to identify compounds that would prevent HIV infection and replication.

A number of compounds that inhibit HIV-I infection of host cells were identified. These compounds belong to two structural classes, and their anti -HIV-I activity was confirmed and/or determined by dose response and p24 secondary assay.

Therefore, of particular relevance in the context of HIV prevention or treatment is coadministration with one or more other agents aiming at HIV inhibition well known in the art, such as but not limited to, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g, tenofovir, didanosine and the like), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g, efavirenz, delavirdine and the like), HIV-I protease inhibitors (e.g. saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir and the like), HIV-I integrase inhibitors (e.g, raltegravir and the like) and HIV-I entry inhibitors (e.g, maraviroc and the like). Synergistic activity of the pharmaceutical

compositions or combined preparations of this invention against viral infection may be readily determined by means of one or more tests such as, but not limited to, the isobologram method, as previously described by Elion et al. in J. Biol. Chem. (1954) 208:477-488 and by Baba et al. in Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. (1984) 25:515-517, using EC 50 for calculating the fractional inhibitory concentration (hereinafter referred as FIC). When the minimum FIC index corresponding to the FIC of combined compounds (e.g., FlC x +FIC y ) is equal to 1.0, the combination is said to be additive; when it is between 1.0 and 0.5, the combination is defined as sub-synergistic, and when it is lower than 0.5, the combination is by defined as synergistic. When the minimum FIC index is between 1.0 and 2.0, the combination is defined as subantagonistic and, when it is higher than 2.0, the combination is defined as antagonistic. The pharmaceutical composition or combined preparation with synergistic activity against viral infection, especially HIV may contain at least one compound listed in Figure 8A-F or Table 1 over a broad content range depending on the contemplated use and the expected effect of the preparation. Generally, the contents of the at least one compound listed in Figure 8 A-F or Table 1 in the pharamaceutical preparation is within the range of from 0.1 to 99.9% by weight, preferably from 1 to 99% by weight, more preferably from about 5 to 95% by weight.

The pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations may be administered orally or in any other suitable fashion. Oral administration is preferred and the pharmaceutical composition or preparation may have the form of a tablet, aqueous dispersion, dispersable powder or granule, emulsion, hard or soft capsule, syrup, elixir or gel. The dosing forms may be prepared using any method known in the art for manufacturing these pharmaceutical compositions and may comprise as additives sweeteners, flavoring agents, coloring agents, preservatives and the like. Carrier materials and excipients are detailed hereinbelow and may include, inter alia, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, binding agents and the like. The pharmaceutical composition or combined preparation of this invention may be included in a gelatin capsule mixed with any inert solid diluent or carrier material, or has the form of a soft gelatin capsule, in which the ingredient is mixed with a water or oil medium. Aqueous dispersions may comprise the biologically active composition or combined preparation in combination with a suspending agent, dispersing agent or wetting agent. Oil dispersions may comprise suspending agents such as a vegetable oil. Rectal administration is also applicable, for instance in the form of suppositories or gels. Injection (e.g. intramuscularly or intraperiteneously) is also applicable as a mode of administration, for instance in the form of

injectable solutions or dispersions, depending upon the disorder to be treated and the condition of the patient.

The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient" as used herein in relation to pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations means any material or substance with which the active acomponent, , and optionally the additional antiviral agent, may be formulated in order to facilitate its application or dissemination to the locus to be treated, for instance by dissolving, dispersing or diffusing the said composition, and/or to facilitate its storage, transport or handling without impairing its effectiveness. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be a solid or a liquid or a gas which has been compressed to form a liquid, i.e. the compositions or preparations of the present invention can suitably be used as concentrates, emulsions, solutions, granulates, dusts, sprays, aerosols, pellets or powders.

Suitable pharmaceutical carriers for use in the said pharmaceutical compositions and their formulation are well known to those skilled in the art. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include additives such as wetting agents, dispersing agents, stickers, adhesives, emulsifying or surface-active agents, thickening agents, complexing agents, gelling agents, solvents, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents (for example phenol, sorbic acid, chlorobutanol), isotonic agents (such as sugars or sodium chloride) and the like, provided the same are consistent with pharmaceutical practice, i.e. carriers and additives which do not create permanent damage to mammals.

The pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared in any known manner, for instance by homogeneously mixing, dissolving, spray-drying, coating and/or grinding the active ingredients, in a one-step or a multi-steps procedure, with the selected carrier material and, where appropriate, the other additives such as surface-active agents. They may also be prepared by micronisation, for instance in view to obtain them in the form of microspheres usually having a diameter of about 1 to 10 μm, namely for the manufacture of microcapsules for controlled or sustained release of the biologically active ingredient(s).

Suitable surface-active agents to be used in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and/or wetting properties. Suitable anionic surfactants include both water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthetic surface-active agents. Suitable soaps are alkaline or alkaline-earth metal salts, unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids

(C 10-22 ), e.g. the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures obtainable form coconut oil or tallow oil. Synthetic surfactants include sodium or calcium salts of polyacrylic acids; fatty sulphonates and sulphates; sulphonated benzimidazole derivatives and alkylarylsulphonates. Fatty sulphonates or sulphates are usually in the form of alkaline or alkaline-earth metal salts, unsubstituted ammonium salts or ammonium salts substituted with an alkyl or acyl radical having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, e.g. the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulphonic acid or dodecylsulphonic acid or a mixture of fatty alcohol sulphates obtained from natural fatty acids, alkaline or alkaline-earth metal salts of sulphuric or sulphonic acid esters (such as sodium lauryl sulphate) and sulphonic acids of fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. Suitable sulphonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Examples of alkylarylsulphonates include, but are not limited to, the sodium, calcium or alcanolamine salts of dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid or dibutyl- naphthalenesulphonic acid or a naphthalene-sulphonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Also suitable are the corresponding phosphates, e.g. salts of phosphoric acid ester and an adduct of p-nonylphenol with ethylene and/or propylene oxide, or phospholipids. Suitable phospholipids for this purpose are the natural (originating from animal or plant cells) or synthetic phospholipids of the cephalin or lecithin type such as e.g. phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylglycerine, lysolecithin, cardiolipin, dioctanylphosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphoshatidyl-choline and their mixtures.

Suitable non-ionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, polyethoxylated and polypropoxylated derivatives of alkylphenols, fatty alcohols, fatty acids, aliphatic amines or amides containing at least 12 carbon atoms in the molecule, alkylarenesulphonates and dialkylsulphosuccinates, such as polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, said derivatives preferably containing 3 to 10 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenol. Further suitable non- ionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, water-soluble adducts of polyethylene oxide with poylypropylene glycol, ethylenediamino-polypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts preferably contain 20 to 250 ethyleneglycol ether groups and/or 10 to 100 propyleneglycol ether groups. Such compounds usually contain from 1 to 5 ethyleneglycol units per propyleneglycol unit. Representative examples of non-ionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, nonylphenol-polyethoxyethanol, castor oil polyglycolic ethers, polypropylene/polyethylene oxide adducts,

tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethyleneglycol and octylphenoxy-polyethoxyethanol. Fatty acid esters of polyethylene sorbitan (such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate), glycerol, sorbitan, sucrose and pentaerythritol are also suitable non-ionic surfactants.

Suitable cationic surfactants include, but are not limited to, quaternary ammonium salts, preferably halides, having four hydrocarbon radicals optionally substituted with halo, phenyl, substituted phenyl or hydroxy; for instance quaternary ammonium salts containing as N- substituent at least one C 8-22 alkyl radical (e.g. cetyl, lauryl, palmityl, myristyl, oleyl and the like) and, as further substituents, unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl and/or hydroxy-C 1-4 alkyl radicals.

Structure-forming, thickening or gel-forming agents may be included into the pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations of the invention. Suitable such agents are in particular highly dispersed silicic acid, such as the product commercially available under the trade name Aerosil; bentonites; tetraalkyl ammonium salts of montmorillonites (e.g., products commercially available under the trade name Bentone), wherein each of the alkyl groups may contain from 1 to 20 carbon atoms; cetostearyl alcohol and modified castor oil products (e.g. the product commercially available under the trade name Antisettle).

Gelling agents which may be included into the pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations of the present invention include, but are not limited to, cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethylcellulose, cellulose acetate and the like; natural gums such as arabic gum, xanthum gum, tragacanth gum, guar gum and the like; gelatin; silicon dioxide; synthetic polymers such as carbomers, and mixtures thereof. Gelatin and modified celluloses represent a preferred class of gelling agents.

Other optional excipients which may be included in the pharmaceutical compositions and combined preparations of the present invention include additives such as magnesium oxide; azo dyes; organic and inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide; UV-absorbers; stabilisers; odor masking agents; viscosity enhancers; antioxidants such as, for example, ascorbyl palmitate, sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite and the like, and mixtures thereof; preservatives such as, for example, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, propyl gallate, benzylalcohol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben and the like; sequestering agents such as ethylene-diamine tetraacetic acid; flavoring agents such as natural vanillin; buffers such as

citric acid and acetic acid; extenders or bulking agents such as silicates, diatomaceous earth, magnesium oxide or aluminum oxide; densifϊcation agents such as magnesium salts; and mixtures thereof.

Additional ingredients may be included in order to control the duration of action of the biologically-active ingredient in the compositions and combined preparations of the invention. Control release compositions may thus be achieved by selecting appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable polymer carriers such as for example polyesters, polyamino-acids, polyvinylpyrrolidone, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, methylcellulose, carboxy-methylcellulose, protamine sulfate and the like. The rate of drug release and duration of action may also be controlled by incorporating the active ingredient into particles, e.g. microcapsules, of a polymeric substance such as hydrogels, polylactic acid, hydroxymethyl-cellulose, polymethyl methacrylate and the other above-described polymers. Such methods include colloid drug delivery systems like liposomes, microspheres, microemulsions, nanoparticles, nanocapsules and so on. Depending on the route of administration, the pharmaceutical composition or combined preparation of the invention may also require protective coatings.

Pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation thereof. Typical carriers for this purpose therefore include biocompatible aqueous buffers, ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, complexing agents such as cyclodextrins and the like, and mixtures thereof.

Other modes of local drug administration can also be used. For example, the selected active agent may be administered topically, in an ointment, gel or the like, or transdermally, using a conventional transdermal drug delivery system.

Since, in the case of combined preparations including at least at least one compound listed in Figure 8A-F or Table 1, and an additional antiviral agent, both active ingredients do not necessarily bring out their synergistic therapeutic effect directly at the same time in the patient to be treated, the said combined preparation may be in the form of a medical kit or package containing the two ingredients in separate but adjacent form. In the latter context, each ingredient may therefore be formulated in a way suitable for an administration route different from that of the other ingredient, e.g. one of them may be in the form of an oral or parenteral

formulation whereas the other is in the form of an ampoule for intravenous injection or an aerosol.

According to one aspect, there is provided a method of treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), comprising the application of an effective amount of a compound listed in Figure 8A-F or Table 1 to a person in need thereof.

According to the method for preventing or treating a viral infection or a pathologic condition associated therewith, including HIV in a patient, the patient may be a mammal such as a primate, more preferably a human being. The method consists of administering to the patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound listed in Figure 8A-F or Table 1, optionally together with an effective amount of another antiviral agent, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, such as disclosed above in extensive details. The therapeutically effective amount is usually in the range of about 0.01 mg to 20 mg, preferably about 0.1 mg to 5 mg, per day per kg bodyweight for humans. Depending upon the pathologic condition to be treated, the severity of infection, and the patient's condition, the said therapeutically effective amount may be divided into several sub-units per day or may be administered at more than one day intervals. The patient to be treated may be any warm-blooded animal, preferably a mammal, more preferably a human being, suffering from said viral infection or associated pathologic condition.

According to another aspect, there is provided a screening method comprising the steps of

(a) adding compounds that are to be tested to a multi-well plate;

(d) incubating said multi-well plate containing GFP expressing host cells infected with HIV-I virus and said compounds;

(e) analyzing said multi-well plate using automated confocal microscopy and fluorescent microplate readers.

The screening method provided is a phenotypic cell-based assay enabling the search for drugs that interfere with the infection or replication of HIV within host T or B cells or a hybrid thereof. The assay makes use of viral infection induced fluorescent protein expressing living cells infected with HIV-I (Bru) virus and uses automated confocal fluorescence microscopy

and fluorescence intensity to measure infection. The assay has been set-up for the high throughput screening (HTS) of large scale chemical libraries.

The HIV infection screening assay is based on the GFP expression under HIV infection using a LTR-GFP fusion stably expressed in CEM cells. Upon infection by HIV (Bru strain), the viral DNA is integrated and expressed, the viral protein TAT is expressed and promotes the expression of the gene controlled by LTR (i.e. GFP). CEMxI 74 cells were cultured in

RPMIl 640-Glutamax with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (Gibco), 100units/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 2mM sodium pyruvate, 2mM L-Glutamine at 37°C in 5% CO2.

To produce Bru virus, one million CEMxI 74 cells were infected with Bru virus (M.O.I, of 20) for 2 hr. After 24 hr incubation, the virus was transferred to a T-75 flask. After two weeks, ten million fresh cells were added to the flask. After a further two weeks 600 ml of virus- containing supernatant was collected, filtered and assayed for virus levels by a p24 assay. The virus is stocked and the cells are cultured in the same medium.

Chemical compounds

The small synthetic molecules from the screening libraries were resuspended in pure DMSO at an initial concentration of 1OmM (master plates) in 96 well polypropylene plates. To perform the primary screening, master plates of 96 well plates were reformatted to mother plates of the 384 well polypropylene plates (Greiner) and diluted to a final concentration of 2mM in pure DMSO. The compounds were kept frozen until use. For screening, the compound plates were thawed at room temperature. The compounds were directly added to the assay plates from the DMSO stock using an EVObird liquid handler (Evotec Technologies) which transfers 250nl of compound to achieve a dilution step of 1 :200. A fast mixing is performed to ensure complete diffusion of the small volume in the assay well.

Positive controls AZT, Nevirapine, and Saquinavir as well as negative control (DMSO) were added manually to each plate in columns 1-2 and 23-24.

During this study, a total of 56,980 compounds were tested. These compounds were sourced from Timtec (25,000 from the ActiProbe diverse library, 1,000 from the Kinase inhibitors ActiTargK library and 500 from the Protease inhibitors ActitargP library), ChemBridge

(20,000 from the NOVACore library) and Cerep (10,480 from the Odyssey II library). They were initially screened at one concentration (primary screen, concentration = lOuM). The "positives" identified from the primary screen were then confirmed either with a first step at 3 concentrations (10, 1 and 0.IuM) to identify the most active and/or by 10 concentration serial dilutions (from lOuM to 0.25nM).

Virus infection assay scale-up

Cells (4,000/well) were dispensed using a Wellmate (Matrix) into 384 well Evotec glass plates pre-dispensed with lOul of compound diluted in PBS and incubated for 1 hr at 37 degrees, 5% CO2. Cells were then infected with Bru virus at multiplicity of infection (MOI) 3.7 and incubated for 5 days at 37 degrees, 5% CO2. The plates were read for fluorescence detection using Victor3. Cells were then stained with SytoόO (Invitrogen) for Ih for imaging by an automated fluorescent confocal microscope OperaTM (Evotec Technologies).

Image acquisition and data analysis

Confocal images were recorded on an automated fluorescent confocal microscope OperaTM (Evotec Technologies) using 20X-water objective (NA 0.70), 488nm, 635nm lasers and 488/635 primary dichroic mirror. Each image was then processed using Accapella software (Evotec technologies). ActivityBase (IDBS) and DecisionSite (Tibco Spotfire) were used to store and analyze the screening data. IC 50 values were calculated in Prism (GraphPad software) from assay data using non-linear regression analysis and curve fitting to a sigmoidal dose-response (variable slope) model.

Example 1 : Development and validation of a visual, high-throughput HIV-I full replication

In order to develop a high-throughput HIV-I full replication assay, reporter cell lines harbouring an integrated HIV mini-genome encoding only the EGFP gene under the transcriptional control of the genuine HIV LTR promoter were constructed. Briefly, CEMx 174 [10] cells were stably transfected with TRIP-LTR-EGFP vector particles [11] and cloned. Cell lines were selected that expressed minimal levels of basal EGFP in an uninfected state, but responded to HIV-I infection with high levels of EGFP fluorescence. Individual clones were screened for high susceptibility to HIV-I infection and the cell line with the most desirable phenotype (named CEMx 174 #CG8) was chosen for further characterization. To facilitate effective screening under high-throughput conditions, optimized conditions for cell density (4,000 cells/well), the amount of virus used for infection (10 ng p24/well, M.O.I, of 3.7) and the incubation time (5 days) in 384-well plates were determined.

Example 2: High Throughput Screening

A 56,980 member small molecule library from Timtec, ChemBridge and Cerep was screened using CEMxl74 cells. This library is composed of a diverse 25,000 compound set (Timtec - ActiProbe-25K), a diverse 20,000 compounds set (ChemBridge - NOVACore), a diverse 10,480 compound set (Cerep - Odyssey II), a 1,000 compound kinase focused library (Timtec - ActiTarg-K) and a 500 compound protease focused library (Timtec - ActiTarg-P). The primary screen of the Timtec compounds was performed in singlet and was of high quality, with a ε of 0.45 for the entire screen (Figure 1). Based on a statistical cut off of 70% inhibition of infection, 1,891 compounds were identified as being active against HIV infection in CEMx 174 cells (Figure 2), an active rate of 7%. The plate and well locations of the active compounds were examined in order to identify any plate and/or well bias in the screen. The actives were found to be evenly distributed across the plates tested, except in the cases of structurally similar compounds that are grouped together on the plate (Figure 3). As the active rate is high, and only the most active compounds will be selected for further characterization,

a 3 step process was used to identify the most active and structurally interesting compounds. The overall process is shown in Figure 5. The active compounds were cherry picked from the compound library and re-screened at 3 concentrations (10, 1 and 0.1 uM) in order to filter out false positives and gain a first measure of active potency and toxicity. Image analysis was used to assess compound toxicity. Fluorescence intensity was also used to quantify compound activity, and a resazurin-based cell viability assay was used to complement the image based cell toxicity data. This active confirmation screen was performed in duplicate with both cell lines. Of the 1,891 compounds tested, 1,237 were active at the primary screening concentration of 10 uM, an active confirmation rate of 65% (Figure 4A). Compounds were selected for further characterization based on their ability to inhibit HIV infection by 50% at the intermediate concentration of 1 uM (Figure 4B). Although a number of these compounds exhibited some toxicity based on cell number quantification and resazurin-based cell viability, they were included for further analysis. Thus, 170 compounds were selected for a third round of characterization. Among the compounds identified were a number of known anti-HIV compounds. These included colchicine, an inhibitor of microtubule polymerization and weak inhibitor of HIV replication [12], and floxuridine and 5-fluorouridine, inhibitors of thymidylate synthase that suppress replication of multidrug-resistant HIV type 1 when used in combination with zidovudine or stavudine [13]. In the third round of active compound selection, compounds were tested in 10 point dose-response experiments, using CEMx 174 cells. Compound activity was measured by FI and compound toxicity was assessed by image analysis and resazurin-based cell viability in the presence and absence of HIV. As with the 3 concentration experiment, the compounds were tested in duplicate. A total of 7 compounds from the Timtec compound library were determined to be active with cell protection. These 7 compounds were grouped into three scaffolds, one of which, Scaffold I (4 compounds; 8A-D) is disclosed herein. These four compounds, Timtec I, II, III and IV were purchased as

required or Timtec II was also synthesized in-house and is also referred to as Compound 1 (Table 1) herein.

The primary screen of the ChemBridge and Cerep compounds was performed in duplicate and was of high quality, with a T of 0.56 for both replicates (Figure 6). Based on a statistical cut off of activity of greater than 6 standard deviations from the mean of the average percentage inhibition of infection, 782 compounds were identified as being active against HIV infection in CEMx 174 cells (Figure 7), an active rate of 3%. This lower hit rate as compared to the Timtec library is likely a result of screening in duplicate versus singlet, and the different chemical compositions of the libraries. Active compounds were tested in 10 point dose- response experiments using CEMx 174 cells. Compound activity was measured by FI and compound toxicity was assessed by image analysis and resazurin-based cell viability in the absence of HIV. Testing was performed in duplicate. A total of 7 compounds from the ChemBridge and Cerep compound libraries were determined to be active with cell protection. Two of these compounds were grouped as Scaffold II (ChemBridge compound library; 8E-F) which is disclosed herein. These two compounds, ChemBridge I and II were purchased from ChemBridge but were also synthesized in-house and are also referred to as Compound 278 and 280 respectively (Table 1) herein.

Based on the screening of the compound libraries mentioned herein, 4 Timtec (Scaffold I) and 2 ChemBridge (Scaffold II) compounds were identified that exhibited potent activity against HIV infection of CEMx 174 while also showing a cell protective effect, similar to that seen with HIV reference compounds (Figure 8G) and have additional structure activity relationship data disclosed herein.

To confirm that the 6 compounds are active against HIV infection and are not interfering with the fluorescence-based assay and are false positives, the activity of the compounds was assessed in a p24 activity assay. All 6 compounds showed a dose-dependent effect on the

amount of p24 core antigen (not shown), confirming the results of the GFP-based assay, and indicating that the 6 compounds are hits against HIV infection.

Example 3: Derivatization of anti -HIV-I Scaffolds I and II

Scaffolds I and II underwent derivatization according to the methods outlined below. Scaffold I derivatives correspond to compounds 1 to 323 and Scaffold II derivatives correspond to compounds 324 to 650. Resulting derivatives were examined for inhibitory activity using the assay(s) described above and the results are summarized in Table 1.

After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO 3 (10 mL) and extracted with CH 2 Cl 2 (4 x 20 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na 2 SO 4 . After filtration and concentration in vacuo, the residue was purified via flash column chromatography (SiO 2 , n- Hexanes/EtOAc/AcOH = 5:1 :0.5) to give Biginelli adduct (1.31 g, 77%) as a pale yellow solid.

To a solution of Biginelli adduct (1.30 g, 3.69 mmol) in DMF (19 mL) was added TBSCl (834 mg, 5.53 mmol) and imidazole (377 mg, 5.53 mmol) at 25 °C. After stirring for overnight at 25 °C, the reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of H 2 O (30 mL), extracted with EtOAc (3 x 30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (30 mL) and dried over Na 2 SO 4 . After filtration and concentration in vacuo, the residue was purified via flash column chromatography (SiO 2 , «-Hexanes/Et 2 O = 5:1 → n-Hexanes/EtOAc = 2: 1 to 1 : 1 → CH 2 Cl 2 MeOH = 20: 1) to give a TBS protected product with a quantitative yield as a white solid: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 7.81 (s, IH), 7.14-7.12 (m, 3H), 7.01- 6.98 (m, 3H), 6.70 (d, J= 7.2 Hz, IH), 6.61 (bs, IH), 6.60 (d, J= 8.4 Hz, IH), 5.48 (bs, IH), 5.21 (s, IH), 4.91 (s, 2H), 2.67-2.57 (m, 2H), 1.09-1.05 (m, 3H), 0.81 (s, 9H), 0.00 (s, 6H); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 164.9, 156.1, 153.2, 152.5, 144.9, 136.0, 129.8, 128.4, 128.0, 127.9, 119.7, 119., 118.1, 99.9, 65.9, 55.4, 25.7, 25.3, 18.2, 12.5, -4.4; TLC R 1 (CH 2 Cl 2 MeOH 10:1) = 0.51.

The reaction mixture was hydrogenated with H 2 gas (3 bar) for 3 h at 25 °C. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was resuspended in water (20 mL) and acidified with IN HCl (~3 mL, pH < 2). The resulting suspension was sonicated for 10 min and then filtered and washed with H 2 O. After freeze drying in vacuo, the resulting acid (white solid, 529 mg, 91%) was used in the following step without further purification. To a suspension of acid (1.00 g, 2.655 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) was added cinchonine (782 mg, 2.655 mmol) at 76 ° C. The resulting suspension was treated with the slow addition of MeOH (10 mL) at 76 °C. The resulting clear solution was slowly cooled to room temperature followed by overnight storage at -20 °C. The next day, the salt was filtered and rinsed with

EtOH to give an acid/cinchonine salt (614 mg, 69%) as a white solid. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was resubjected to fractional crystallization in MeOH (10 mL) to give an additional acid/cinchonine salt (125 mg, 14%).

The salt above (80 mg) was resuspended in water (4 mL) and acidified with IN HCl (500 μL, pH < 2). The resulting suspension was sonicated for 10 min and then centrifuged to remove the upper layer. After repeating the same procedure one more time, the resulting solid was washed with H 2 O (3 x 4 mL) and freeze dried to give a salt-free acid (43 mg, 97%) as a white solid: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-J 6 ) δ 8.90 (s, IH), 7.47 (s, IH), 7.03 (t, J= 8.0 Hz, IH), 6.70 (d, J= 7.6 Hz, IH), 6.58 (s, IH), 6.55 (d, J= 8.0 Hz, IH), 4.90 (d, J= 3.6 Hz, IH), 2.50- 2.47 (m, 2H), 0.94 (t, J= 7.2 Hz, 3H), 0.77 (s, 9H), 0.00 (s, 6H); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, OMSO-d 6 ) δ 167.5, 155.8, 153.4, 147.1, 130.1, 120.1, 119.2, 118.1, 54.2, 26.2, 24.6, 18.6,

General procedure for the synthesis of β-keto thiol esters

To a 0 0 C solution of diisopropylamine (707 μL, 5.00 mmol, 1.1 equiv) in THF (10 mL) was added n-BuLi (2.5 M in «-Hexanes, 2.0 mL, 5.00 mmol, 1.1 equiv) via a syringe under Ar. After 30 min at 0 0 C, the reaction was cooled to -78 °C and then treated with a solution of thiol ester (4.54 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (2 mL) via a cannula. After 30 min at -78 °C, aldehyde (4.54 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was added dropwise, and the whole reaction mixture was allowed to stir at -78 °C for another 10 min. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous NH 4 Cl (10 mL), and the reaction mixture was extracted with CH 2 Cl 2 (3 x 20 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na 2 SO 4 , filtered, and concentrated in

vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO 2 , π-Hexanes/Et 2 O = 5:1→ 2:1) to give β -hydroxy thiol esters.

To a 0 °C solution of the above β-hydroxy thiol ester (1.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and NaHCO 3 (253 mg, 3.00 mmol, 3.0 equiv) in CH 2 Cl 2 (10 mL) was added Dess-Martin periodinane solution (15% by wt in CH 2 Cl 2 , 2.5 mL, 1.20 mmol, 1.2 equiv). After 5 min at 0 0 C, the reaction was warmed to 25 ° C and then further stirred for 1 h. The resulting mixture was diluted with n-Hexanes (10 mL) and filtered through a pad of silica gel (rinsed with n- Hexanes/EtOAc = 2:1). After concentrated in vacuo, the residue was purified via flash column chromatography (SiO 2 , rø-Hexanes/Et 2 O = 15:1) to give β-keto thiol esters.

General procedure for Biginelli reaction with β-keto thiol esters
