ANTIVIRAL COMPOUNDS RELATED APPLICATION This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.63/335,283,  filed on April 27, 2022. The entire teachings of the above application are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates generally to compounds and pharmaceutical  compositions useful as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) inhibitors and Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) inhibitors. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a negative sense virus, containing a  non-segmented, single-stranded linear RNA genome. As a Paramyxovirus of two serotypes in the genus Pneumoviridae, HRSV contains 10 genes that encode for 11 proteins. The nucleocapsid protein (N), the RNA polymerase protein (L), the phosphoprotein (P) and the transcription anti-termination factor (M2-1) along with the RNA genome make up the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. Several small-molecule compounds have been shown to  target the RNP complex. Additionally, the fusion protein (F), paramount for viral attachment to the host, has been extensively studied. High resolution structures of the F protein interacting with inhibitors have been attained, while structural studies with the N protein are earlier in development. A direct result of the HRSV protein studies and research, the F protein, L protein and N protein have been the major focus of drug discovery efforts.   The increased effort in HRSV drug discovery is a result of HRSV being the leading cause of acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in patients of all ages. In addition to respiratory infections, patient populations at high risk during HRSV infections include the elderly, immunocompromised, children up to the age of two and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) or chronic heart failure (CHF). HRSV was found  over four years to cause 177,500 hospital admissions and 14,000 deaths in the U.S. elderly population. It is well-known that almost all children will be infected with HRSV in the first 3 years after birth and HRSV infection is more severe in premature infants. In fact, HRSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants under the age of one in the U.S. It is estimated that approximately 3.2 million hospitalizations and 66,000 deaths worldwide in children less than 5 years old are due to HRSV. HRSV has been associated with more deaths of infants below one year old and more infant hospitalizations than influenza. HRSV infection can also affect healthy individuals and repeated HRSV infections  even over the course of two months can occur. Symptoms are similar to colds in healthy individuals, however fever, wheezing, rapid and difficult breathing, and cyanosis occur in more severe cases. Currently, the treatment options for HRSV infection are quite limited and there is no vaccine due to unsuccessful attempts to date. Palivizumab is a monoclonal antibody that is approved  for prophylactic use, but its use is limited due to its high price. Palivizumab is generally only used for high risk infants, such as premature infants or those with cardiac/lung disease, but has been only 60% effective in reducing hospitalizations. Ribavirin is approved as an inhalation treatment option, but its effectiveness is limited and there are safety concerns associated with it. Taking into account the treatment options, and the consistent seasonality  of the HRSV epidemic, the development of new therapeutic agents for the treatment of HRSV is desirable. There have been several RSV fusion inhibitors that have been disclosed in the following publications: WO2010/103306, WO2012/068622, WO2013/096681, WO2014/060411, WO2013/186995, WO2013/186334, WO 2013/186332, WO 2012080451,  WO 2012/080450, WO2012/080449, WO 2012/080447, WO 2012/080446, WO 2015/110446, WO 2017/009316, WO 2021/214136, J. Med. Chem.2015, 58, 1630-1643, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 2015, 25, 976-981 and Nat. Commun., 2017, 8, 167. Examples of other N-protein inhibitors for treatment of HRSV have been disclosed in the following publications: WO 2004/026843, J. Med. Chem.2006, 49, 2311-2319, and J. Med. Chem.  2007, 50, 1685-1692. Examples of L-protein inhibitors for HRSV have been disclosed in the following publications: WO 2023/052593, WO 2021/214136, WO 2021/198981, WO 2021/150806, WO 2021/066922, WO 2011/005842, WO 2005/042530, Antiviral Res.2005, 65, 125-131, and Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.2013, 23, 6789-6793. Examples of nucleosides/polymerase inhibitors have been disclosed in the following publications: WO  2011/ 005842, WO 2013/242525, WO 2014/031784, WO 2015/026792, WO 2016/ 0055791, WO 2016/138158, and J. Med. Chem.2015, 58, 1862-1878. Likewise, human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA enveloped virus, that belongs to the Pneumoviridae family and Metapneumovirus genus discovered by van Den Hoogen in 2001, is also a common cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTIs). Although often mild, this virus can be serious and life-threatening in high-risk groups, such as children under the age of 5 years, elderly adults over the age of 65 years, and adults with underlying disease (e.g., Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, congestive heart failure, or diabetes). In healthy adults over the age of 65  years, the annual incidence rate of HMPV infection is 1.2/1,000, and 38% of disease (e.g., COPD), and individuals are twice as likely to have symptomatic disease and requirement for medical care. In immunocompromised individuals, HMPV is responsible for 6% of total respiratory infections in lung transplants and 3% of lower respiratory infections associated with stem cell transplant. HMPV infection is also thought to be associated with acute graft  rejection. Like HRSV, infection is thought to attach to the target cell via the glycoprotein (G) protein interactions and followed by fusion via the F protein. HMPV L protein sequence is homologous to HRSV L protein. HMPV infection is the second most common cause of lower respiratory tract infection  in children (behind HRSV) and is also problematic for the elderly population. There are 4 subtypes of HMPV found in clinical isolates (A1, A2, B1 and B2). Reinfection occurs throughout childhood following initial infection. No therapeutics are currently available for HMPV infection. Taking into account the seasonality and predictability of the HRSV and HMPV  epidemics, HRSV epidemics in elderly institutions, and the severity of infection in high risk infants, the need for a potent and effective treatment for HRSV and HMPV is clear. The present invention has identified compounds that are heterocyclic molecules that are potent against HRSV-A/B and HMPV. The invention includes methods to prepare these molecules, methods for the RSV cell-based assay, the HMPV- TN/94-49 A2 cell-based assay and small-  molecules that have potential to treat HRSV/HMPV infection.

Alkoxy groups include C ₁ -C ₁₂ -alkoxy, C ₁ -C ₈ -alkoxy, C ₁ -C ₆ -alkoxy, C ₁ -C ₄ -alkoxy and C ₁ -C ₃ -alkoxy groups.Examples of alkoxy groups includes, but are not limited to, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, 2-propoxy (isopropoxy) and the higher homologs and isomers. Preferred alkoxy is C ₁ -C ₃ alkoxy.   An “aliphatic” group is a non-aromatic moiety comprised of any combination of carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, halogen atoms, oxygen, nitrogen or other atoms, and optionally contains one or more units of unsaturation, e.g., double and/or triple bonds. Examples of aliphatic groups are functional groups, such as alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, O, OH, NH, NH ₂ , C(O), S(O) ₂ , C(O)O, C(O)NH, OC(O)O, OC(O)NH, OC(O)NH ₂ , S(O) ₂ NH,  S(O) ₂ NH ₂ , NHC(O)NH ₂ , NHC(O)C(O)NH, NHS(O) ₂ NH, NHS(O) ₂ NH ₂ , C(O)NHS(O) ₂ , C(O)NHS(O) ₂ NH or C(O)NHS(O) ₂ NH ₂ , and the like, groups comprising one or more functional groups, non-aromatic hydrocarbons (optionally substituted), and groups wherein one or more carbons of a non-aromatic hydrocarbon (optionally substituted) is replaced by a functional group. Carbon atoms of an aliphatic group can be optionally oxo-substituted. An  aliphatic group may be straight chained, branched, cyclic, or a combination thereof and preferably contains between about 1 and about 24 carbon atoms, more typically between about 1 and about 12 carbon atoms. In addition to aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, as used herein, aliphatic groups expressly include, for example, alkoxyalkyls, polyalkoxyalkyls, such as polyalkylene glycols, polyamines, and polyimines, for example. Aliphatic groups may be  optionally substituted.

The term "leaving group" means a functional group or atom which can be displaced by another functional group or atom in a substitution reaction, such as a nucleophilic substitution reaction. By way of example, representative leaving groups include chloro,  bromo and iodo groups; sulfonic ester groups, such as mesylate, tosylate, brosylate, nosylate and the like; and acyloxy groups, such as acetoxy, trifluoroacetoxy and the like. The term "aprotic solvent," as used herein, refers to a solvent that is relatively inert to proton activity, i.e., not acting as a proton-donor. Examples include, but are not limited to, hydrocarbons, such as hexane and toluene, for example, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as,  for example, methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, chloroform, and the like, heterocyclic compounds, such as, for example, tetrahydrofuran and N-methylpyrrolidinone, and ethers such as diethyl ether, bis-methoxymethyl ether. Such compounds are well known to those skilled in the art, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that individual solvents or mixtures thereof may be preferred for specific compounds and reaction conditions, depending upon such factors as the solubility of reagents, reactivity of reagents and preferred temperature ranges, for example. Further discussions of aprotic solvents may be found in organic chemistry textbooks or in specialized monographs, for example: Organic Solvents Physical Properties and Methods of Purification, 4th ed., edited by John A. Riddick et al.,  Vol. II, in the Techniques of Chemistry Series, John Wiley & Sons, NY, 1986. The term “protic solvent,” as used herein, refers to a solvent that tends to provide protons, such as an alcohol, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, t-butanol, and the like. Such solvents are well known to those skilled in the art, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that individual solvents or mixtures thereof may be  preferred for specific compounds and reaction conditions, depending upon such factors as the solubility of reagents, reactivity of reagents and preferred temperature ranges, for example. Further discussions of protogenic solvents may be found in organic chemistry textbooks or in specialized monographs, for example: Organic Solvents Physical Properties and Methods of Purification, 4th ed., edited by John A. Riddick et al., Vol. II, in the Techniques of Chemistry  Series, John Wiley & Sons, NY, 1986. Combinations of substituents and variables envisioned by this invention are only those that result in the formation of stable compounds. The term “stable,” as used herein, refers to compounds which possess stability sufficient to allow manufacture and which maintains the integrity of the compound for a sufficient period of time to be useful for the  purposes detailed herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a subject). The synthesized compounds can be separated from a reaction mixture and further purified by a method such as column chromatography, high pressure liquid chromatography, or recrystallization. As can be appreciated by the skilled artisan, further methods of synthesizing the compounds of the Formula herein will be evident to those of ordinary skill in  the art. Additionally, the various synthetic steps may be performed in an alternate sequence or order to give the desired compounds. Synthetic chemistry transformations and protecting group methodologies (protection and deprotection) useful in synthesizing the compounds described herein are known in the art and include, for example, those such as described in R. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, 2 ^nd Ed. Wiley-VCH (1999); P.G.M. Wuts,  Greene’s Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 5th edition, John Wiley & Sons, Hoboken, NJ (2014); L. Fieser and M. Fieser, Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1994); and L. Paquette, ed., Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1995), and subsequent editions thereof. The term “subject,” as used herein, refers to an animal. Preferably, the animal is a mammal. More preferably, the mammal is a human. A subject also refers to, for example, a dog, cat, horse, cow, pig, guinea pig, fish, bird and the like. The compounds of this invention may be modified by appending appropriate  functionalities to enhance selective biological properties. Such modifications are known in the art and may include those which increase biological penetration into a given biological system (e.g., blood, lymphatic system, central nervous system), increase oral availability, increase solubility to allow administration by injection, alter metabolism and alter rate of excretion.   The compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-, or as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids. The present invention is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optical isomers may be prepared from their respective optically active  precursors by the procedures described above, or by resolving the racemic mixtures. The resolution can be carried out in the presence of a resolving agent, by chromatography or by repeated crystallization or by some combination of these techniques which are known to those skilled in the art. Further details regarding resolutions can be found in Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates, and Resolutions (John Wiley & Sons, 1981). When the compounds  described herein contain olefinic double bonds, other unsaturation, or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers or cis- and trans- isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. Tautomers may be in cyclic or acyclic. The configuration of any carbon-carbon double bond appearing herein is selected for convenience  only and is not intended to designate a particular configuration unless the text so states; thus a carbon-carbon double bond or carbon-heteroatom double bond depicted arbitrarily herein as trans may be cis, trans, or a mixture of the two in any proportion. Certain compounds of the present invention may also exist in different stable conformational forms which may be separable. Torsional asymmetry due to restricted  rotation about an asymmetric single bond, for example because of steric hindrance or ring strain, may permit separation of different conformers. The present invention includes each conformational isomer of these compounds and mixtures thereof. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt," refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge, et al. describes pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 66: 2-19 (1977).  The salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of the invention, or separately by reacting the free base function with a suitable organic acid. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic  acids such as acetic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentane-propionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate,  fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate,  undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like.

Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms,  sulfonate and aryl sulfonate. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable ester" refers to esters which hydrolyze in vivo and include those that break down readily in the human body to leave the parent compound or a salt thereof. Suitable ester groups include, for example, those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable aliphatic carboxylic acids, particularly alkanoic, alkenoic,  cycloalkanoic and alkanedioic acids, in which each alkyl or alkenyl moiety advantageously has not more than 6 carbon atoms. Examples of particular esters include, but are not limited to, formates, acetates, propionates, butyrates, acrylates and ethylsuccinates. PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients.   As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient" means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium   carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; glycols such as propylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic  saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non- toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator.   The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally or via an implanted reservoir, preferably by oral administration or administration by injection. The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may contain any conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, adjuvants or vehicles. In some cases, the pH of the  formulation may be adjusted with pharmaceutically acceptable acids, bases or buffers to enhance the stability of the formulated compound or its delivery form. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous, intracutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular, intra-arterial, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional and intracranial injection or infusion techniques.   Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants  such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions, may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile  injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be employed including  synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectable. The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable  medium prior to use. In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution, which, in turn, may  depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release  can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues. Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound. Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders,  and granules.

In general, combination therapy is typically preferred over alternation therapy because it induces multiple simultaneous stresses on the virus. Although the invention has been described with respect to various preferred embodiments, it is not intended to be limited thereto, but rather those skilled in the art will  recognize that variations and modifications may be made therein which are within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims. ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY An inhibitory amount or dose of the compounds of the present invention may range  from about 0.01 mg/Kg to about 500 mg/Kg, alternatively from about 1 to about 50 mg/Kg. Inhibitory amounts or doses will also vary depending on route of administration, as well as the possibility of co-usage with other agents. According to the methods of treatment of the present invention, viral infections are treated or prevented in a patient such as a human or another animal by administering to the  patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention, in such amounts and for such time as is necessary to achieve the desired result. By a "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound of the invention is meant an amount of the compound which confers a therapeutic effect on the treated subject, at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. The therapeutic effect may be objective (i.e., measurable by some test or marker) or subjective (i.e., subject gives an indication of or feels an effect). An effective amount of the compound described above may range from about 0.1 mg/Kg to about 500 mg/Kg, preferably from about 1 to about 50 mg/Kg. Effective doses will also vary depending on route of administration, as well as the  possibility of co-usage with other agents. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the  specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or contemporaneously with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts.   The total daily dose of the compounds of this invention administered to a human or other animal in single or in divided doses can be in amounts, for example, from 0.01 to 50 mg/kg body weight or more usually from 0.1 to 25 mg/kg body weight. Single dose compositions may contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose. In general, treatment regimens according to the present invention comprise administration to  a patient in need of such treatment from about 10 mg to about 1000 mg of the compound(s) of this invention per day in single or multiple doses. The compounds of the present invention described herein can, for example, be administered by injection, intravenously, intra-arterial, subdermally, intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously; or orally, buccally, nasally, transmucosally, topically, in  an ophthalmic preparation, or by inhalation, with a dosage ranging from about 0.1 to about 500 mg/kg of body weight, alternatively dosages between 1 mg and 1000 mg/dose, every 4 to 120 hours, or according to the requirements of the particular drug. The methods herein contemplate administration of an effective amount of compound or compound composition to achieve the desired or stated effect. Typically, the pharmaceutical compositions of this  invention will be administered from about 1 to about 6 times per day or alternatively, as a continuous infusion. Such administration can be used as a chronic or acute therapy. The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with pharmaceutically excipients or carriers to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. A typical preparation will contain from about 5% to about 95% active compound (w/w). Alternatively, such preparations may contain from about 20% to about 80% active compound. Lower or higher doses than those recited above may be required. Specific dosage and treatment regimens for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including  the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health status, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity and course of the disease, condition or symptoms, the patient’s disposition to the disease, condition or symptoms, and the judgment of the treating physician. Upon improvement of a patient’s condition, a maintenance dose of a compound,  composition or combination of this invention may be administered, if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved condition is retained when the symptoms have been alleviated to the desired level. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of disease symptoms.   When the compositions of this invention comprise a combination of a compound of the Formula described herein and one or more additional therapeutic or prophylactic agents, both the compound and the additional agent should be present at dosage levels of between about 1 to 100%, and more preferably between about 5 to 95% of the dosage normally administered in a monotherapy regimen. The additional agents may be administered   separately, as part of a multiple dose regimen, from the compounds of this invention. Alternatively, those agents may be part of a single dosage form, mixed together with the compounds of this invention in a single composition. The “additional therapeutic or prophylactic agents” include but are not limited to, immune therapies (e.g. interferon), therapeutic vaccines, antifibrotic agents, anti-  inflammatory agents such as corticosteroids or NSAIDs, bronchodilators such as beta-2 adrenergic agonists and xanthines (e.g. theophylline), mucolytic agents, anti-muscarinics, anti-leukotrienes, inhibitors of cell adhesion (e.g. ICAM antagonists), anti-oxidants (e.g. N- acetylcysteine), cytokine agonists, cytokine antagonists, lung surfactants and/or antimicrobial and anti-viral agents (e.g. ribavirin and amantidine). The compositions according to the  invention may also be used in combination with gene replacement therapy.

Flasks were inoculated with RSV and viral stocks were collected once cytopathic effect (CPE) was greater than 90%. Viral stocks in 25% sucrose media were snap frozen using liquid nitrogen to increase viral stability. Viral stock titers were quantified by tissue culture infectious dose  50% (TCID50) using 8,000 cells per well and 3-fold viral dilutions across a 96-well plate, cultured for 4 days. Viral stock titers were also quantified by a plaque forming unit assay, as described elsewhere. Following extensive parameter testing, the final assay is run as follows: Hep-2 cells are seeded into the inner 60 wells of a 96-well plate at 8,000 cells per well in a volume of 50  µL using Growth Media (DMEM without phenol red, 1% L-Glut, 1% Penn/Strep, 1% nonessential amino acids, 10% heat-inactivated FBS).2-fold serial dilutions of control and test compounds are added to the wells in duplicate in a total volume of 25 µL. Viral stock is then added to the wells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 in a volume of 25 µL, bringing the total volume of each well to 100 µL. The MOI is calculated using the PFU/mL,  or TCID50 if unavailable. Each 96-well plate has a control column of 6 wells with cells and virus but no compound (negative control, max CPE), a column with cells but no compound or virus (positive control, minimum CPE), and a column with no cells or virus or compound (background plate/reagent control). The control wells with cells but no virus are given an additional 25µL of growth media containing an equal quantity of sucrose as those wells receiving the viral stock in order to keep consistent in media and volume conditions. The outer wells of the plate are filled with 125 µL of moat media (DMEM, 1% Penn/Strep) to act as a thermal and evaporative moat around the test wells. Following a 5-day incubation period,  the plates are read using ATPlite (50uL added per well), which quantifies the amount of ATP (a measure of cell health) present in each well. Assay plates are read using the Envision luminometer. These data (Table 3) are used to calculate the EC50 of each compound. EC50 ranges are as follows: A < 0.01 µM; B 0.01-0.05 µM; C > 0.05 µM. Table 3 Summary of Activities for RSV-A Methods for HMPV antiviral assay In vitro HMPV antiviral activity was evaluated using the clinical isolate A2 strain TN 94-49 and LLC-MK2 cells (ATCC # CCL-7), an immortalized kidney epithelial cell line  from Macaca mulatta. Compounds were resuspended in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 10 mM, serially diluted and added to a 384-well source plate. Subsequently, the compounds were diluted and transferred onto 384-well assay plates using the Echo-650 automated liquid handling system (Beckman Coulter, Indiana). The test compounds were assessed in duplicate at a top  concentration of 2 µM followed by 2.5-fold serial dilutions to give a total of 10 concentration points. DMSO control wells were also included on the assay plates and were either infected or not, acting as positive and negative controls. A2 TN 94-49 virus infections were performed in-suspension with LLC-MK2 cells. The cells were washed twice with PBS and removed from the cell-culture flask with 0.25%  trypsin-EDTA (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA). The trypsin-EDTA was inactivated by resuspending in 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and OptiMEM (ThermoFisher Scientific, MA) containing 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Cells were pelleted by centrifuging for 5 minutes at 800 rpm, the supernatant was removed, and cells were re-suspended and washed in PBS plus 100 µg/mL CaCl ₂ . This step was performed twice. Cells were then re-suspended in serum-  free (SF)-OptiMEM containing 4 µg/mL TPCK-Trypsin (Sigma Aldrich, MO), 1% penicillin-streptomycin (ThermoFisher Scientific, MA) and 100 µg/mL CaCl ₂ . Cells were counted and seeded at a density of 5,000 cells/well, 12.5 µL/well. Virus infections were done at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.005 with 12.5 µL added per well. Virus infections were performed in infection media which contained SF-  OptiMEM, 100 µg/mL CaCl ₂ and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. HMPV viral stocks are suspended in infection media + 5% glycerol, thus an equal volume of infection media + 5% glycerol was added to uninfected wells to equalize the final % glycerol across all wells of the assay plate. The final concentration of TPCK-trypsin was 2 µg/mL. The assay plates were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO ₂ for 7 days.   After 7 days incubation, 12.5 µL of ATP-Lite (PerkinElmer, MA) was added to each well and the raw luminescence values were determined using the Envision 2104 (Perkin Elmer, MA). The average of the raw luminescence values for the cells and virus only positive control wells was subtracted from all conditions tested and the percent cell health was determined by dividing these values by the average of the cells only negative control wells.  EC50 values were then calculated by non-linear regression using a four-parameter curve logistic equation. The curve fit model employed was XLFit Dose Response One Site Model 200: y = (A+(B/(1+((x/C)^D)))), where A is the minimum y value, B is the maximum y value, C is the logEC50 value, and D is the slope factor.   These data are used to calculate the EC50 each compound (Table 4). EC50 ranges are as follows: A < 1 ^M; B > 1 ^M.
