INHIBITORS OF HISTONE DEACETYLASE USEFUL FOR THE TREATMENT OR PREVENTION OF HIV INFECTION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to inhibitors of histone deacetylase, compositions comprising at least one inhibitor of histone deacetylase, and methods of using the inhibitors of histone deacetylase for treating or preventing HIV infection in a subject.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

DNA in the nucleus of the cell exists as a hierarchy of compacted chromatin structures. The basic repeating unit in chromatin is the nucleosome, which consists of a histone octamer of proteins in the nucleus of the cell around which DNA is wrapped twice. The orderly packaging of DNA in the nucleus plays an important role in the functional aspects of gene regulation. Covalent modifications of the histones have a key role in altering chromatin higher order structure and function, and ultimately, gene expression. The covalent modification of histones, such as acetylation, occurs by enzymatically mediated process.

Regulation of gene expression through the inhibition of the nuclear enzyme histone deacetylase (HD AC) is one of the several possible regulatory mechanisms whereby chromatin actively can be affected. The dynamic homeostasis of the nuclear acetylation of histone can be regulated by the opposing activity of the enzymes histone acetyl transferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HD AC). Transcriptionally silent chromatin can be characterized by nucleosomes with low levels of acetylated histones. Acetylation reduces the positive charge of histones, thereby expanding the structure of the nucleosome and facilitating the interaction of transcription factors with the DNA. Removal of the acetyl group restores the positive charge, condensing the structure of the nucleosome. While histone acetylation can activate DNA transcription, enhancing gene expression, histone deacetylase can reverse the process and can serve to repress gene expression. Inhibition of the histone deacetylase (HD AC inhibition) can also increase the activation of DNA transcription. See, for example, Grunstein, Nature, 389, 349-352 (1997); Pazin et ah, Cell 89, 325-328 (1997); Wade et ah, Trends Biochem Sci. 22, 128- 132 (1997); and Wolffe, Science 272, 371-372 (1996).

With the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV became a controllable chronic disease. The combination of ART (cART) targets specific stages of the viral life cycle, and is effective at combatting active viral load down to undetectable levels.

However, HIV persists within the body of infected individuals undergoing therapy, and cessation of ART leads to a viral rebound within 3-4 weeks. The HIV can persist in resting memory and naive CD4+ T cells and other long-lived cells, such as infected astrocytes and cells of macrophage lineage. HIV can persist in these resting cells by establishing a latent or“silent” infection. In these cells, virus is integrated into the host genome, but viral production does not occur as a result of inhibition of both viral transcriptions from proteins. However, these latently infected cells still do contain replication competent virus, and once cART is stopped, rebound in plasma HIV RNA is observed in nearly all patients.

One approach currently being explored to eliminate latently infected CD4+ T cells is to activate viral production from these cells in the presence of cART, when the production of the virus should kill the infected cells. Histone deacetylase inhibitors have shown promise in vitro in activating virus production from latent infected cells, and therefore this class of drugs is being studied as part of a strategy aimed at a cure of HIV.

Eleven members of the HD AC family has been identified in humans, which share a conserved catalytic domain and are grouped into two classes: class I (1,2, 3, 8), homologous to yeast Rpd3; and class Ila (4, 5, 7, 9) and lib (6, 10), homologous to yeast Hdal. HDAC 11 shares homology with both classes, but is at the same time distinct from all the other ten subtypes. The first generation of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) are promising therapeutic agents against cancer and other diseases, and showed in vitro activation of virus production from latent infected cells. However, due to their poor selectivity, those that entered clinical trials, all show similar adverse effects. The poorly selective HDACi’ s are not suitable for healthy HIV patents on cART, thus the interest is high for the discovery and development of novel and subtype selective HDAC inhibitors.

When any substituent or variable (e.g., R ⁴ ) occurs more than one time in any constituent or in Formula I, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence, unless otherwise indicated.

As used herein, the term“composition” is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.

Prodrugs and solvates of the compounds of the invention are also contemplated herein. A discussion of prodrugs is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems (1987) 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, (1987) Edward B. Roche, ed., American Pharmaceutical Association and

Pergamon Press. The term“prodrug” means a compound (e.g, a drug precursor) that is transformed in vivo to provide a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound. The transformation may occur by various mechanisms (e.g., by metabolic or chemical processes), such as, for example, through hydrolysis in blood. For example, if a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate of the compound contains a carboxylic acid functional group, a prodrug can comprise an ester formed by the replacement of the hydrogen atom of the acid group with a group such as, for example, (Ci-Cx)alkyf (C2-Ci ₂ )alkanoyloxym ethyl, l-(alkanoyloxy)ethyl having from 4 to 9 carbon atoms, 1 -methyl- l-(alkanoyloxy)-ethyl having from 5 to 10 carbon atoms,

alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, l-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl having from 4 to 7 carbon atoms, 1 -methyl- l-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl having from 5 to 8 carbon atoms, N-(alkoxycarbonyl)aminom ethyl having from 3 to 9 carbon atoms, l-(N- (alkoxycarbonyl)amino)ethyl having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, 3-phthalidyl, 4-crotonolactonyl, gamma-butyrolacton-4-yl, di -A', N-(C i -C ₂ )al kyl a i no(C2-C ₃ )al kyl (such as b- dimethylaminoethyl), carbarn oyl-(Ci-C2)alkyl, A', A'-di (Ci-C2)alkylcarbamoyl-(Ci-C2)alkyl and piperidino-, pyrrolidino- or morpholino(C2-C ₃ )alkyl, and the like.

Similarly, if a compound of Formula I contains an alcohol functional group, a prodrug can be formed by the replacement of one or more of the hydrogen atoms of the alcohol groups with a group such as, for example, (Ci-C ₆ )alkanoyloxym ethyl, l-((Ci- C ₆ )alkanoyloxy)ethyl, 1 -methyl- l-((Ci-C ₆ )alkanoyloxy)ethyl, (Ci-C ₆ )alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl, N-(Ci-C ₆ )alkoxycarbonylaminomethyl, succinoyl, (Ci-C ₆ )alkanoyl, a-amino(Ci-C ₄ )alkyl, a- amino(Ci-C4)alkylene-aryl, arylacyl and a-aminoacyl, or a-aminoacyl-a-aminoacyl, where each a-aminoacyl group is independently selected from the naturally occurring L-amino acids, or glycosyl (the radical resulting from the removal of a hydroxyl group of the hemiacetal form of a carbohydrate).

If a compound of Formula I incorporates an amine functional group, a prodrug can be formed by the replacement of a hydrogen atom in the amine group with a group such as, for example, R-carbonyl-, RO-carbonyl-, NRR’ -carbonyl- wherein R and R’ are each

independently (Ci-Cio)alkyl, (C3-C7) cycloalkyl, benzyl, a natural a- aminoacyl, -C(OH)C(0)OY ¹ wherein Y ¹ is H, (Ci-C ₆ )alkyl or benzyl, -C(OY ² )Y ³ wherein Y ² is (C1-C4) alkyl and Y ³ is (Ci-C ₆ )alkyl; carboxy (Ci-C ₆ )alkyl; amino(Ci-C4)alkyl or mono-N- or di- N,N-(Ci-C ₆ )alkylaminoalkyl; -C(Y ⁴ )Y ⁵ wherein Y ⁴ is H or methyl and Y ⁵ is mono-N- or di-N,N- (Ci-C ₆ )alkylamino morpholino; piperidin-l-yl or pyrrolidin-l-yl, and the like.

Pharmaceutically acceptable esters of the present compounds include the following groups: (1) carboxylic acid esters obtained by esterification of the hydroxy group of a hydroxyl compound, in which the non-carbonyl moiety of the carboxylic acid portion of the ester grouping is selected from straight or branched chain alkyl ( e.g ., methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, t-butyl, sec-butyl or n-butyl), alkoxyalkyl (e.g., methoxymethyl), aralkyl (e.g, benzyl), aryloxyalkyl (for example, phenoxymethyl), aryl (e.g, phenyl optionally substituted with, for example, halogen, C i _-4 alkyl, -0-(Ci- ₄ alkyl) or amino); (2) sulfonate esters, such as alkyl- or aralkyl sulfonyl (for example, methanesulfonyl); (3) amino acid esters, including those corresponding to both natural and non-natural amino acids (e.g, L-valyl or L-isoleucyl); (4) phosphonate esters and (5) mono-, di- or triphosphate esters. The phosphate esters may be further esterified by, for example, a Ci-2o alcohol or reactive derivative thereof, or by a 2,3 -di (C ₆ -24)acyl glycerol. One or more compounds of the invention may exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like, and it is intended that the invention embrace both solvated and unsolvated forms. "Solvate" means a physical association of a compound of this invention with one or more solvent molecules. This physical association involves varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Non limiting examples of solvates include ethanolates, methanolates, and the like. A "hydrate" is a solvate wherein the solvent molecule is water.

One or more compounds of the invention may optionally be converted to a solvate. Preparation of solvates is generally known. Thus, for example, M. Caira et al , ./.

Pharmaceutical Sci., 93(3). 601-611 (2004) describe the preparation of the solvates of the antifungal fluconazole in ethyl acetate as well as from water. Similar preparations of solvates, hemisolvates, hydrates and the like are described by E. C. van Tonder et al, AAPS

PharmSciTech., 5(1). article 12 (2004); and A. L. Bingham et al, Chem. Commun., 603-604 (2001). A typical, non-limiting, process involves dissolving the inventive compound in desired amounts of the desired solvent (organic or water or mixtures thereof) at a higher than room temperature, and cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals which are then isolated by standard methods. Analytical techniques such as, for example IR spectroscopy, show the presence of the solvent (or water) in the crystals as a solvate (or hydrate).

The compound of Formula I can form salts which are also within the scope of this invention. Reference to a compound of Formula I herein is understood to include reference to salts thereof, unless otherwise indicated. The term "salt(s)", as employed herein, denotes acidic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids, as well as basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic bases. In addition, when a compound of Formula I contains both a basic moiety, such as, but not limited to a pyridine or imidazole, and an acidic moiety, such as, but not limited to a carboxylic acid, zwitterions ("inner salts") may be formed and are included within the term "salt(s)" as used herein. In one embodiment, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non toxic, physiologically acceptable) salt. In another embodiment, the salt is other than a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Salts of the Compounds of Formula I may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of Formula I with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization. Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates, ascorbates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, fumarates, hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, lactates, maleates, methanesulfonates, naphthalenesulfonates, nitrates, oxalates, phosphates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates, tartarates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates (also known as tosylates) and the like.

Additionally, acids which are generally considered suitable for the formation of

pharmaceutically useful salts from basic pharmaceutical compounds are discussed, for example, by P. Stahl et al, Camille G. (eds.) Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts. Properties, Selection and Use. (2002) Zurich: Wiley-VCH; S. Berge et al , Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66(1) 1-19; P. Gould, International J. of Pharmaceutics (1986) 33 _. 201-217; Anderson et al, The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry (1996), Academic Press, New York; and in The Orange Book (Food & Drug Administration, Washington, D.C. on their website). These disclosures are incorporated herein by reference thereto.

Exemplary basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium, lithium, and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases (for example, organic amines) such as dicyclohexylamine, t-butyl amine, choline, and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like. Basic nitrogen- containing groups may be quartemized with agents such as lower alkyl halides (e.g., methyl, ethyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g., dimethyl, diethyl, and dibutyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g., decyl, lauryl, and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), arylalkyl halides (e.g., benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others.

All such acid salts and base salts are intended to be pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention and all acid and base salts are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds for purposes of the invention.

Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well-known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher’s acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Sterochemically pure compounds may also be prepared by using chiral starting materials or by employing salt resolution techniques. Also, some of the compound of Formula I may be atropisomers (e.g., substituted biaryls) and are considered as part of this invention. Enantiomers can also be directly separated using chiral chromatographic techniques.

It is also possible that the compound of Formula I may exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are embraced within the scope of the invention. For example, all keto-enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included in the invention.

Unless otherwise indicated, all stereoisomers (for example, geometric isomers, optical isomers and the like) of the present compounds (including those of the salts, solvates, hydrates, esters and prodrugs of the compounds as well as the salts, solvates and esters of the prodrugs), such as those which may exist due to asymmetric carbons on various substituents, including enantiomeric forms (which may exist even in the absence of asymmetric carbons), rotameric forms, atropisomers, and diastereomeric forms, are contemplated within the scope of this invention. If a compound of Formula I incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced within the scope of the invention.

When a subsituent on a chiral carbon atom is depicted without specific stereochemistry (by using a straight line bond to a chiral center), it is to be understood that both the alpha and beta configurations of said subtituent group are to be considered part of the present invention. For example, the compound of the present invention, which is drawn as follows:

is understood to encompass both stereoisomers at the indicated chiral center, the structures of which are as follows:

and

In the Examples section below, compounds of the present invention that have been purified as individual stereoisomers are sometimes depicted in non-stereospecific form but identifed using one or more of the terms:“diastereomer 1,”“diastereomer 2,”“isomer 1,”

“isomer 2,”“enantiomer A” and“enantiomer B.” In this instance, the absolute stereochemistry of each isolated diastereomer and enantiomeric center has not been determined and the terms used above are used to represent each individual purified stereochemically pure compound.

Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention may, for example, be substantially free of other isomers, or may be admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other selected, stereoisomers. The chiral centers of the present invention can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. The use of the terms "salt", "solvate",“ester”, "prodrug" and the like, is intended to apply equally to the salt, solvate, ester and prodrug of enantiomers, stereoisomers, rotamers, tautomers, racemates or prodrugs of the inventive compounds.

In the Compounds of Formula I, the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. The present invention is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of generic Formula I. For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium (¾) and deuterium ( ² H). Protium is the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may provide certain therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing dosage requirements, or may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological samples.

Isotopically-enriched Compounds of Formula I can be prepared without undue experimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein using appropriate isotopically-enriched reagents and/or intermediates. In one embodiment, a Compound of Formula I has one or more of its hydrogen atoms replaced with deuterium.

The compounds of Formula I may be useful in human and veterinary medicine for treating or preventing HIV infection in a subject. In one embodiment, the compounds of Formula I can be inhibitors of HIV viral replication. In a specific embodiment, the compound of Formula I are inhibitors of HIV-l. Accordingly, the compounds of Formula I may be useful for treating HIV infections and AIDS. In accordance with the invention, the compounds of Formula I can be administered to a subject in need of treatment or prevention of HIV infection. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the invention provides methods for treating HIV infection in a subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides methods for treating AIDS in a subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

HDAC inhibition assays

The histone deacetylase activities of HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC6, and HDAC8 were measured in modified FLUOR DE LYS assays in 384-well format. In this assay, HDAC enzymes are initially incubated with an e-acetyl (or -trifluoroacetyl)-L-lysine- containing substrate with a C-terminal amide having aminomethylcoumarin as the amine component. HDACs cleave the e-acetyl group, rendering the resulting product susceptible to AMC cleavage by trypsin. The released AMC is then detected by its fluorescence.

The HD AC 1, 2assays employed buffer A, which contained 20 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 1 mM MgCh, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KC1, 0.05% BSA. The HDAC3/SMRT assay employed buffer B, consisting of 20 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 1 mM MgCh, 50 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KC1, 0.05% BSA, 0.005% Tween 20, and 10 mM IP4.

The HDAC8 assay employed buffer D, consisting of 20 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 1 mM MgCh, 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM KC1, 0.1% n- octyl -b-D-gl ucosi de (Anatrace) and 0.05% BSA. All steps were performed at room temperature (23°C). The assay was performed by pre-incub ating serial dilutions of test compounds with the target HD AC prior to initiation with substrate. Each compound was titrated in a lO-point dose response, using a 1 :3 fold dilution scheme, with 0.15 ul of solution added by ECH0555 to the plate, followed by the addition of 20 mΐ of the appropriate HD AC isoform diluted in appropriate assay buffer. The incubation was allowed to proceed for 3 hours, then the appropriate substrate diluted in assay buffer (final substrate concentration ~K _m ) was added and the reaction allowed to proceed for 60 min. Final conditions used for each assay were: 1. HD AC 1, 0.3 nM total enzyme, 20 mM substrate BML-KI104; 2.

HDAC 2, 1.5 nM total enzyme, 40 mM substrate BML-KI104; 3. HDAC 3/SMRT, 0.3 nM total enzyme, 20 mM substrate BML-KI104; 4. HDAC 6, 1.3 nM total enzyme, 2.5 mM substrate BML-KI104; 5. HDAC 8, 1.3 nM total enzyme, 200 mM substrate BML-KI178; the final high dose of test compound was 30 mM. For potent compounds, 900 nM was used as the final high dose. The reactions were stopped and developed by addition of 30 ul of HDAC developer solution containing a saturating level of HDAC inhibitor as follows: 1. HDACs 1, 2, 3 and 6, developer BML-KI105 (stock diluted 1 : 125, containing 20 uM SAHA, 2. HDAC 8, developer BML-KI176 (1 : 100 plus 40 uM SAHA, and the plates were shaken to assure good mixing, briefly centrifuged, incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature and then the fluorescence intensity (excitation 380nm, emission 460nm) measured using a PHERAstar plate reader. For each assay plate, both minimal inhibition (100% DMSO; 0% inhibition) and maximal inhibition (either 10 uM SAHA or 100 uM TSA; 100% inhibition) controls were added. For data analysis, background subtracted product (fluorescence) vs. time data for each inhibitor concentration was fitted using a 4-parameter fit.

All compounds prerpared were tested in the binding assays with HDAC1, 2, 3,

6 and 8.

An atmosphere of 5% C0 ₂ and 90% humidity was used for all culture work. Cells were split and reseeded into T175 flasks at a density of 0.2 x 10 ⁶ cells/ml, in 40 ml of media, every 3-4 days.

KARN Assay

Day 1 : After the 3-4 day growth period, the cells were transferred from the T175 flask to a 50 ml conical tube and gently pelleted at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant was removed and the cells gently resuspended in assay media RPMI 1640 medium containing L-glutamine but without Phenol Red (Life Technologies, catalog number 11835-030), 5% FBS and 100 pg /ml Penicillin-Streptomycin, and then reseeded such that the original flask is now divided into two T175 flasks. These flasks were returned to the incubator.

Day 2: Cell Preparation: The next day, the cells were transferred from each T175 flask to an individual 50 ml conical tube and gently pelleted at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. The cells were gently resuspended in assay media (30 ml) and pelleted again. The cell pellets were each resuspended in 30 ml of RPMI 1640 medium containing L-glutamine but without Phenol Red, 100 pg/ml Penicillin-Streptomycin and containing either 0.1% or 5% normal human serum (NHS; Biospecialty, catalog number 115-00 Anticoagulant free). The cells were counted using the ViCell (Beckman Coulter) and diluted as necessary. A Multidrop (Combi, Thermo

Scientific) with a sterile head was used to seed the cells into the wells of a 384-well solid black plate with lid (Perkin Elmer, catalog number 6007660) at 4000 cells/30 mΐ/well for the 5% NHS assay media and 6000 cells/30 m 1/well for 0.1% NHS assay. The plates were covered and returned to the incubator prior to compound addition.

Compound Preparation: Solutions of control inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA; Sigma, catalog number SML0061) and test compounds in 100% DMSO were titrated into 384- well polypropylene plates (Labcyte, catalog number P-05525) using a 20-point dose response and 2-fold dilutions. The reference compounds, DMSO and SAHA were then added to the compound plate. Using the Access system (Labcyte), 120 nl of these inhibitor and control solutions were added to the individual wells of the plates containing the cells, and the plates were then returned to the incubator for ~20 hr (range from 18-24 hr). The final high concentration for SAHA and the test compounds in the assays was 40 mM. The final DMSO concentration in all wells was 0.4%. The minimal induction reference compound used was DMSO and the maximal induction reference compound used was SAHA (2 mM final concentration in the assay).

Day 3 : The luciferase detection reagent was prepared by transferring the contents of one bottle of Steady-Glo buffer to one bottle of Steady-Glo aubstrate (Steady-Glo Luciferase Assay System, Promega, catalog number E2520), followed by gently mixing until the substrate was thoroughly dissolved and the solution was equilibrated to room temperature. The cell culture assay plates were removed from the incubator and brought to room temperature (15 min). The Steady-Glo Reagent was added to the plates (30 pl/well), which were then covered with a black lid and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. The plates were then read for

luminescence on an Envision (Perkin Elmer) using the ultrasensitive mode (US LUM), 0.1 counts per second and 384-well aperture. Luminescence counts in the DMSO reference wells were considered as 0% induction, while those in the 2 mM SAHA reference wells were considered as 100% induction. Dose response curves were plotted as test compound concentration (X-axis) vs. percent activation (Y-axis) using a 4-parameter fit based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.

All HD AC inhibitors were tested in the KARN assays for their cell functional activity:

Treatment or Prevention of HIV Infection

The Compounds of Formula I may be useful in the activation of HIV latency, the the treatment of HIV infection and/or reduction of the likelihood or severity of symptoms of HIV infection and the inhibition of HIV viral replication and/or HIV viral production in a cell-based system. For example, the Compounds of Formula I may be useful in treating infection by HIV after suspected past exposure to HIV by such means as blood transfusion, exchange of body fluids, bites, accidental needle stick, or exposure to subject blood during surgery or other medical procedures.

Accordingly, in one embodiment, the invention provides methods for treating

HIV infection in a subject, the methods comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of at least one Compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. In a specific embodiment, the amount administered is effective to treat or prevent infection by HIV in the subject. In another specific embodiment, the amount administered is effective to inhibit HIV viral replication and/or viral production in the subject. In one embodiment, the HIV infection has progressed to AIDS.

The Compounds of Formula I are also useful in the preparation and execution of screening assays for antiviral compounds. For example the Compounds of Formula I may be useful for identifying resistant HIV cell lines harboring mutations, which are excellent screening tools for more powerful antiviral compounds. Furthermore, the Compounds of Formula I may be useful in establishing or determining the binding site of other antivirals to the HIV Integrase. The compositions and combinations of the present invention may be useful for treating a subject suffering from infection related to any HIV genotype.

Combination Therapy

In another embodiment, the present methods for treating or preventing HIV infection can further comprise the administration of one or more additional therapeutic agents which are not Compounds of Formula I.

In one embodiment, the additional therapeutic agent is an antiviral agent.

In another embodiment, the additional therapeutic agent is an immunomodulatory agent, such as an immunosuppressive agent.

Accordingly, in one embodiment, the present invention provides methods for treating a viral infection in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject: I at least one Compound of Formula I (which may include two or more different Compounds of Formula I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, and (ii) at least one additional therapeutic agent that is other than a Compound of Formula I, wherein the amounts administered are together effective to treat or prevent a viral infection.

When administering a combination therapy of the invention to a subject, therapeutic agents in the combination, or a pharmaceutical composition or compositions comprising therapeutic agents, may be administered in any order such as, for example, sequentially, concurrently, together, simultaneously and the like. The amounts of the various actives in such combination therapy may be different amounts (different dosage amounts) or same amounts (same dosage amounts). Thus, for non-limiting illustration purposes, a Tricyclic Heterocycle Compound and an additional therapeutic agent may be present in fixed amounts (dosage amounts) in a single dosage unit ( e.g ., a capsule, a tablet and the like).

In one embodiment, at least one Compound of Formula I is administered during a time when the additional therapeutic agent(s) exert their prophylactic or therapeutic effect, or vice versa.

In another embodiment, at least one Compound of Formula I and the additional therapeutic agent(s) are administered in doses commonly employed when such agents are used as monotherapy for treating a viral infection.

In another embodiment, at least one Compound of Formula I and the additional therapeutic agent(s) are administered in doses lower than the doses commonly employed when such agents are used as monotherapy for treating a viral infection.

In still another embodiment, at least one Compound of Formula I and the additional therapeutic agent(s) act synergistically and are administered in doses lower than the doses commonly employed when such agents are used as monotherapy for treating a viral infection.

In one embodiment, at least one Compound of Formula I and the additional therapeutic agent(s) are present in the same composition. In one embodiment, this composition is suitable for oral administration. In another embodiment, this composition is suitable for intravenous administration. In another embodiment, this composition is suitable for

subcutaneous administration. In still another embodiment, this composition is suitable for parenteral administration.

Viral infections and virus-related disorders that may be treated or prevented using the combination therapy methods of the present invention include, but are not limited to, those listed above.

In one embodiment, the viral infection is HIV infection.

In another embodiment, the viral infection is AIDS

The at least one Compound of Formula I and the additional therapeutic agent(s) can act additively or synergistically. A synergistic combination may allow the use of lower dosages of one or more agents and/or less frequent administration of one or more agents of a combination therapy. A lower dosage or less frequent administration of one or more agents may lower toxicity of therapy without reducing the efficacy of therapy.

In one embodiment, the administration of at least one Compound of Formula I and the additional therapeutic agent(s) may inhibit the resistance of a viral infection to these agents.

As noted above, the present invention is also directed to use of a compound of Formula I with one or more anti-HIV agents. An "anti-HIV agent" is any agent which is directly or indirectly effective in the inhibition of HIV reverse transcriptase or another enzyme required for HIV replication or infection, the treatment or prophylaxis of HIV infection, and/or the treatment, prophylaxis or delay in the onset or progression of AIDS. It is understood that an anti -HIV agent is effective in treating, preventing, or delaying the onset or progression of HIV infection or AIDS and/or diseases or conditions arising therefrom or associated therewith. For example, the compounds of this invention may be effectively administered, whether at periods of pre-exposure and/or post-exposure, in combination with effective amounts of one or more anti- HIV agents selected from HIV antiviral agents, immunomodulators, antiinfectives, or vaccines useful for treating HIV infection or AIDS. Suitable HIV antivirals for use in combination with the compounds of the present invention include, for example, those listed in Table A as follows:

It is understood that the scope of combinations of the compounds of this invention with anti-HIV agents is not limited to the HIV antivirals listed in Table A, but includes in principle any combination with any pharmaceutical composition useful for the treatment or prophylaxis of AIDS. The HIV antiviral agents and other agents will typically be employed in these combinations in their conventional dosage ranges and regimens as reported in the art, including, for example, the dosages described in the Physicians' Desk Reference. Thomson PDR, Thomson PDR, 57 ^th edition (2003), the 58 ^th edition (2004), the 59 ^th edition (2005), and the like. The dosage ranges for a compound of the invention in these combinations are the same as those set forth above.

The doses and dosage regimen of the other agents used in the combination therapies of the present invention for the treatment or prevention of HIV infection may be determined by the attending clinician, taking into consideration the approved doses and dosage regimen in the package insert; the age, sex and general health of the subject; and the type and severity of the viral infection or related disease or disorder. When administered in combination, the Tricyclic Heterocycle Compound(s) and the other agent(s) may be administered

simultaneously {i.e., in the same composition or in separate compositions one right after the other) or sequentially. This is particularly useful when the components of the combination are given on different dosing schedules, e.g., one component is administered once daily and another component is administered every six hours, or when the pharmaceutical compositions are different, e.g, one is a tablet and one is a capsule. A kit comprising the separate dosage forms is therefore advantageous.

Compositions and Administration

When administered to a subject, the Compounds of Formula I may be administered as a component of a composition that comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or vehicle. The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of at least one Compound of Formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
