ANTIVIRAL PYRAZOLOPYRIDINONE COMPOUNDS RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/906,664, filed September 26, 2019, the contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to novel bicyclic pyrazolopyridione compounds that are inhibitors of herpesvirus replication, and are thus useful to treat herpesvirus infections. The compounds inhibit viral DNA polymerases of various herpesviruses, including cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex viruses, and others. The invention provides novel bicyclic pyrazolopyridione compounds as disclosed herein, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and methods of using these compounds and compositions in the treatment and prevention of herpesvirus disease. BACKGROUND [0003] Human CMV, also known as human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5), is a b-herpesvirus that affects all populations, worldwide, including adults and children with normal or compromised immune systems. While often asymptomatic in healthy individuals, CMV can become life- threatening in immunocompromised individuals. CMV is also cause for concern during pregnancy, as it can be transmitted from mother to fetus and cause severe birth defects. No treatment is approved to prevent or treat congenital CMV infection. In the transplant setting, the current anti-CMV therapies include the nucleoside analogs Valganciclovir (valGCV), Ganciclovir (GCV) and Cidofovir (CDV), and a pyrophosphate analog, Foscarnet (FOS). Each of these therapeutic agents inhibits the CMV DNA polymerase, a protein encoded by the UL54 gene, which is an enzyme essential for viral replication (PNAS 2003, 100(24), 14223-14228; WO2013/152063; WO 2005/012545). In solid organ transplant recipients, the first line therapy consists of either prophylaxis or preemptive treatment with GCV, or the orally bioavailable prodrug valGCV. GCV significantly decreases the risk of disease, and can effectively treat active CMV infection. However, the drug is poorly tolerated. GCV and valGCV can cause severe bone marrow suppression which, in stem cell transplant recipients, puts the patient at risk for engraftment failure. Second line therapies such as CDV and FOS, are associated with severe nephrotoxicity. Moreover, resistance to current anti-CMV nucleoside analogs is a significant cause of treatment failure. Novel classes of CMV therapeutic agents are therefore needed, particularly non-nucleoside compounds, to provide safer CMV treatments and to combat herpesviruses that are resistant to known classes of antivirals. [0004] In addition to CMV, herpesviruses that cause widespread human viral infections include Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Varicella zoster virus (VZV), and herpes simplex viruses HSV- 1 and HSV-2. Other herpesviruses that cause disease in humans include human herpesvirus 6, human herpesvirus 7, and Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus [0005] Herpesvirus infections are not only widespread, they also persist lifelong in their host in latent stage. By one estimate, over 90% of adult humans are latently infected with at least one herpesvirus that may be reactivated years later. Zoster (Shingles), for example, results when the varicella zoster virus (VZV) is reactivated from latency, typically many years after the original infection (chicken pox) has been controlled. Zoster is a painful condition that affects primarily older adults and individuals with immune dysfunction. Complications include post- herpetic neuralgia, a potentially debilitating and chronic pain syndrome, against which anti-VZV inhibitors (nucleosides) only have a marginal impact. [0006] Immunocompromised individuals such as transplant patients are at high risk for herpesvirus reactivation such as CMV, HSV or VZV. Thus a safe and potent viral inhibitor with broad herpesvirus activity would be extremely valuable. The current invention provides novel compounds that are active against several herpesviruses, including CMV, HSV, VZV and EBV. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The present invention provides novel non-nucleoside compounds that inhibit herpesvirus DNA polymerases, with potent antiviral activity in vitro. Compounds are active against several herpesviruses, including CMV, HSV, VZV and EBV. A potent non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitor has significant advantages over the current anti-CMV agents. First, unlike nucleoside analogs, the compounds are not incorporated by human polymerases and are thus expected to have a better safety profile than the current anti-CMV drugs. Second, the compounds described herein are active on GCV-resistant virus, thus having a potential for rescue therapy in patients with cross-resistance to nucleoside analogs. Finally, the compounds are active against several human herpesviruses providing opportunity for a broad clinical use. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel compounds as well as methods to use the compounds and compositions to inhibit herpesvirus replication or reactivation, and to treat disease conditions associated with or caused by herpesviruses.

A “patient” as used herein refers to a human subject. [0049] As used herein, the term “linker” refers to a bivalent chemical moiety that is capable of covalently linking together two spaced chemical moieties. [0050] As used herein, the term "inhibition" or “inhibiting” refers to the reduction or suppression of a given condition, symptom, or disorder, or disease, or a decrease in the baseline activity of a biological activity or process. [0051] The term “an optical isomer” or “a stereoisomer” refers to any of the various stereoisomeric configurations which may exist for a given compound of the present invention and includes geometric isomers. It is understood that a substituent may be attached at a chiral center of a carbon atom. The term "chiral" refers to molecules which have the property of non- superimposability on their mirror image partner, while the term "achiral" refers to molecules which are superimposable on their mirror image partner. Therefore, the invention includes enantiomers, diastereomers or racemates of the compound. “Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non- superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a "racemic” mixture. The term is used to designate a racemic mixture where appropriate. "Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other. The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn- lngold- Prelog R-S system. When a compound is a pure enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon may be specified by either R or S. Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown can be designated (+) or (-) depending on the direction (dextro- or levorotatory) which they rotate plane polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. Certain compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers or axes and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. [0052] As used herein, the term “treating" or "treatment" of any disease or disorder refers in one embodiment, to ameliorating the disease or disorder (i.e., slowing or arresting or reducing the development of the disease or at least one of the clinical symptoms thereof). In another embodiment "treating" or "treatment" refers to alleviating or ameliorating at least one physical parameter including those which may not be discernible by the patient. In yet another embodiment, "treating" or "treatment" refers to modulating the disease or disorder, either physically, (e.g., stabilization of a discernible symptom), physiologically, (e.g., stabilization of a physical parameter), or both. In yet another embodiment, "treating" or "treatment" refers to preventing or delaying the onset or development or progression of the disease or disorder. [0053] The compound names provided herein were obtained using ChemDraw Ultra version 12.0 (CambridgeSoft®) or JChem version 5.3.1 (ChemAxon). [0054] All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. "such as”) provided herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. [0055] "Optionally substituted" means the group referred to can be substituted at one or more positions by any one or any combination of the radicals listed thereafter. The number, placement and selection of substituents is understood to encompass only those substitutions that a skilled chemist would expect to be reasonably stable; thus ‘oxo’ would not be a substituent on an aryl or heteroaryl ring, for example, and a single carbon atom would not have three hydroxy or amino substituents. [0056] Groups may be substituted at the same position that they join the remainder of the defined molecule. For instance, a group may be substituted with a cyclopropyl, and the cyclopropyl may, in turn, be substituted with another group, at the same carbon by which it is joined to the rest of the molecule. [0057] Unless specified otherwise, the term “compounds of the present invention”, “compounds of the invention” or “compounds provided herein” refers to compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (IIa), Formula (IIb), Formula (IIIa), Formula (IIIb), Formula (IIIc), Formula (IVa), Formula (IVb), Formula (IVc), Formula (IVd), Formula (Va), Formula (Vb), Formula (Vc), Formula (VI), Formula (VII), and Formula (VIII), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, stereoisomers (including diastereoisomers and enantiomers), rotamers, tautomers and isotopically labeled compounds (including deuterium substitutions), as well as inherently formed moieties. [0058] As used herein, the term "a,” "an,” "the” and similar terms used in the context of the present invention (especially in the context of the claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and plural unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by the context. [0059] All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. "such as”) provided herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed.

[0062] Compounds of Formula (VII) are novel and useful as intermediates for preparation of the compounds of Formula (I)-(VI) described herein. [0063] Compounds of Formula (VII) are novel and useful as intermediates for preparation of the compounds of Formula (VIII) described herein. General Synthetic Procedures [0064] The compounds of the invention can be produced by organic synthesis methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art with reference to the following reaction general synthetic schemes below and in more detail in the Examples. [0065] All starting materials, building blocks, reagents, acids, bases, dehydrating agents, solvents, and catalysts utilized to synthesize the compounds of the invention are either commercially available or can be produced by organic synthesis methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art (Houben-Weyl 4th Ed.1952, Methods of Organic Synthesis, Thieme, Volume 21). [0066] Within the scope of this text, only a readily removable group that is not a constituent of the particular desired end product of the compounds of the present invention is designated a “protecting group,” unless the context indicates otherwise. The protection of functional groups by such protecting groups, the protecting groups themselves, and their cleavage reactions are described for example in standard reference works, such as e.g., Science of Synthesis: Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformation.

A characteristic of protecting groups is that they can be removed readily (i.e., without the occurrence of undesired secondary reactions) for example by solvolysis, reduction, photolysis or alternatively under physiological conditions (e.g., by enzymatic cleavage). [0067] General methods for the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I) are provided below in Schemes I-VI. In particular Schemes I to III show general methods 1 to 14 for the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I) wherein Z is W and LMC is absent, and wherein R ¹ , R ² , R ³ , R ⁴ , R ¹⁵ , R ^B , t, L and W are as defined herein for compounds of Formula (I).

Scheme I [0068] Scheme I shows general methods 1 to 7 for synthesizing compounds of Formula (I) wherein bond, . The bicyclic intermediate (e.g., Intermediate I-1) can be N-alkylated to attach the W-L- moiety of interest, for e.g. where L is attached through -CH ₂ -. W-L-X ₁ represents a suitable alkylating agent for such reactions, where X ₁ is a leaving group such as halo (e.g. Br or I) or a sulfonate leaving group such as mesylate, tosylate, or triflate. The W-L- moiety can of course contain functional groups that can be further modified in the product of Formula (I), such as hydroxyl groups or amine groups, e.g. in protected form, which can be deprotected and further derivatized. [0069] R ^C can be a simple alkyl ester such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, t-butyl or n- butyl; and if W-L- contains an ester, R ^C can be a different ester such as benzyl that can be readily differentiated from the one in W-L-, so R ^C can be selectively hydrolyzed for the coupling reaction in Scheme I. In some of the examples, the R ^C is an ester that hydrolyzes under the alkylation reaction conditions, presumably due to the presence of adventitious moisture or hydroxide; in other examples, a separate hydrolysis step is used such as addition of lithium, sodium or potassium hydroxide and water. The resulting free carboxylate compound is then readily coupled to a suitable amine containing a desired R ^B group using standard amide bond formation conditions and suitable reagents. This can be a direct amidation of the carboxylate (method 1 and method 2), or it can be accomplished by converting the carboxylic acid into an activated intermediate (acyl chloride, acyl anhydride, etc.) (method 4) as known in the art and illustrated by the accompanying examples. Examples of amide coupling reagents used in methods 1, 2, 4 and 5 include, but are not limited to, EDCI, HATU, HBTU, TBTU and T3P. In addition, the carboxylic acid can be converted into an activated intermediate (method 5) which undergoes subsequent etherification. Typical etherification occurs using a alkyl halides (Cl, Br, I) in the presence of a base such as KCO ₃ or KOH. [0070] Alternatively the carboxylic acid undergoes esterification (method 6) using Lewis or Brønstedt acid-catalyzed esterification of the carboxylic acid with an alcohol, however examples of other esterification reagents include diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) or diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD), di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (DTBAD), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC)/4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and 2,4,6-trichlorobenzoyl chloride/4-N,N- dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). [0071] Finally, for compounds of Formula (I) where in R ⁴ is H and R ¹⁵ comprises an alkylhalide moiety, the secondary amine on the pyrazolyl ring can be alkylated (method 7) thereby forming a third fused ring. Alternatively, hydroamination and amine alkylation with alcohols can be used when R ¹⁵ comprises the appropriate reactive group. Scheme II [0072] Scheme II shows general methods for synthesizing compounds of Formula (I), wherein X is a 5-6 membered heteroaryl, and Y is . Utilizing the carboxylic acid intermediate described in Scheme (I), compounds of Formula (I) containing an oxadiazole are readily obtained. In method 8, oxadiazole synthesis occurs by the condensation with the carboxylic acid followed by dehydrative cyclization of the resulting diacyl hydrazide intermediate. Alternatively, in method 9, oxadiazole synthesis occurs by the condensation of carboxylic acid and amidoximes followed by cyclization. Finally, in method 10 the carboxylic acid intermediate is converted into the amide, followed by nitrile formation which is subsequently used to form the amidoxime intermediate. Oxadiazole formation then occurs by condensation of the carboxylic acid and amidoximes, followed by cyclization. Reagents used in such methods are known in the art and illustrated by the accompanying examples. Scheme III [0073] Scheme III shows general methods for synthesizing compounds of Formula (I), wherein X is a 5-6 membered heteroaryl or a 5-6 membered heterocyclyl, and Y is a bond or . Utilizing the carboxylic acid intermediate or corresponding ester intermediate described in Scheme (I), compounds of Formula (I) containing a triazole, tetrazole, isoxazole or a dihydroisoxazole are obtained. In method 11, an aldehyde intermediate, formed from the ester, is used to form a nitrile intermediate. Subsequent copper catalyzed “click” chemistry with the nitrile intermediate and an azide intermediate results in triazole formation. In addition, in method 12, the aldehyde intermediate, formed from the ester, is used to form an oxime intermediate which is subsequently converted to the carbimidoyl chloride derivative. Reaction of the carbimidoyl chloride derivative with an alkene gives the dihydroisoxazole. Alternatively, reaction of the carbimidoyl chloride derivative with a nitrile intermediate (method 13) gives the isoxazole. Finally, in method 14 the carboxylic acid intermediate is converted into the amide, followed by nitrile formation and subsequent formation of a tetrazole intermediate, which is then N-alkylated using an alkyl halide. [0074] Scheme IV shows a general method for the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I) wherein LMC is present, and wherein R ¹ , R ² , R ³ , R ⁴ , R ¹⁵ , R ^B , t and L are as defined herein for compounds of Formula (I). Scheme IV [0075] In Scheme (IV) the amine protected bicyclic intermediate (e.g., Intermediate I-1) described in Scheme (I), is utilized to obtain macrocyclic compounds of Formula (I). Here the bicyclic intermediate can be N-alkylated as described in Scheme I to attach the OH-Z-L- moiety of interest, e.g. where L is attached through -CH ₂ -. The hydroxyl of the OH-Z-L group is alkylated, thereby attaching a linker moiety which, after deprotection of the amine, is further attached by N-alkylation of the deprotected amine. The ester is converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid which is subsequently amidated with a desired amine intermediate. [0076] Scheme V shows a general method for the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I) wherein LMC is present, and wherein R ¹ , R ² , R ³ , R ⁴ , R ¹⁵ , R ^B , t and L are as defined herein for compounds of Formula (I). Scheme V [0077] In Scheme (V) the amine protected bicyclic intermediate (e.g., Intermediate I-1) described in Scheme (I), is utilized to obtain macrocyclic compounds of Formula (I). Here the bicyclic intermediate can be N-alkylated as described in Scheme I to attach the OH-Z-L- moiety of interest, especially where L is attached through -CH ₂ -. The ester is then converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid which is subsequently amidated with a desired amine intermediate. After deprotection, the amine is alkylated to attach a linker which is subsequently activated with an azide moiety. The hydroxyl of the OH-Z-L group is converted to a carboxylic acid which is then amidated via the azide moiety, thereby attaching the linker and completing the macrocycle formation. [0078] Scheme VI shows a general method for the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I) wherein LMC is present, and wherein R ¹ , R ² , R ³ , R ⁴ , R ¹⁵ , R ^B , t and L are as defined herein for compounds of Formula (I).

Scheme VI [0079] In Scheme (VI) the amine protected bicyclic intermediate (e.g., Intermediate I-1) described in Scheme (I), is utilized to obtain macrocyclic compounds of Formula (I). Here the bicyclic intermediate can be N-alkylated as described in Scheme I to attach the OH-Z-L- moiety of interest, e.g. where L is attached through -CH ₂ -. The ester is then converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid which is subsequently amidated with a desired amine intermediate. After deprotection, the amine is alkylated to attach a linker which is subsequently activated with an azide moiety. The hydroxyl of the OH-Z-L group is converted to an aldehyde which is then amidated via the azide moiety, thereby attaching the linker and completing the macrocycle formation. [0080] Although Schemes IV- VI show general methods for synthesizing macrocyclic compounds of Formula (I) wherein X is and Y is a bond, , such methods can be used for embodiments where X is ., , a 5-6 membered heteroaryl, a 5-6 membered heterocycloalkyl or a 5-6 membered heterocyclyl, and Y is a bond, , - [0081] Using these method described above along with additional extensions, modifications and variations illustrated by the following Examples, a skilled person can readily prepare various compounds of Formula (I)-(VI). [0082] Intermediates and final products can be worked up and/or purified according to suitable methods, e.g., using chromatographic methods, distribution methods, (re-) crystallization, and the like. [0083] Depending on the choice of the starting materials and procedures, the compounds can be present in the form of one of the possible isomers or as mixtures thereof, for example as pure optical isomers, or as isomer mixtures, such as racemates and diastereoisomer mixtures, depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms. The present invention is meant to include all such possible stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)- and (S)- isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be E or Z configuration. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl substituent may have a cis- or trans-configuration. All tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. [0084] Any resulting mixtures of isomers can be separated on the basis of the physicochemical differences of the constituents, into the pure or substantially pure geometric or optical isomers or diastereomers, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. [0085] Mixtures of isomers obtainable according to the invention can be separated in a manner known per se into the individual isomers; diastereoisomers can be separated, for example, by partitioning between polyphasic solvent mixtures, recrystallization and/or chromatographic separation, for example over silica gel or by, e.g., medium pressure liquid chromatography over a reversed phase column, and racemates can be separated, for example, by the formation of salts with optically pure salt-forming reagents and separation of the mixture of diastereoisomers so obtainable, for example by means of fractional crystallization, or by chromatography over optically active column materials. [0086] Any resulting racemates of final products or intermediates can be resolved into the optical antipodes by known methods, e.g., by separation of the diastereomeric salts thereof, obtained with an optically active acid or base, and liberating the optically active acidic or basic compound. In particular, a basic moiety may thus be employed to resolve the compounds of the present invention into their optical antipodes, e.g., by fractional crystallization of a salt formed with an optically active acid, e.g., tartaric acid, dibenzoyl tartaric acid, diacetyl tartaric acid, di-O,O'-p-toluoyl tartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid or camphor-10-sulfonic acid. Racemic products can also be resolved by chiral chromatography, e.g., high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral adsorbent. [0087] Many compounds of the invention contain one or more chiral centers. These compounds may be made and used as single isomers or as mixtures of isomers. Methods for separating the isomers, including diastereomers and enantiomers, are known in the art, and examples of suitable methods are described herein. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention are used as a single substantially pure isomer, meaning at least 90% of a sample of the compound is the specified isomer and less than 10% of the sample is any other isomer or mixture of isomers. E.g., at least 95% of the sample is a single isomer. In view of the present disclosure, selection of a suitable isomer is within the ordinary level of skill. For example, one isomer may be more active in the herpesvirus DNA polymerase in vitro assay described herein. Where in vitro activity differences between isomers are relatively small, e.g. less than about a factor of 4, a single isomer may be selected based on activity level against viral replication in cell culture, using methods such as those described herein: e.g. the isomer having a lower IC ₅₀ or EC ₅₀ may be selected. [0088] Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of their hydrates, or include other solvents used for their crystallization. The compounds of the present invention may inherently or by design form solvates with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents (including water); therefore, it is intended that the invention embrace both solvated and unsolvated forms. The term "solvate" refers to a molecular complex of a compound of the present invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) with one or more solvent molecules. Such solvent molecules are those commonly used in the pharmaceutical art, which are known to be innocuous to the recipient, e.g., water, ethanol, and the like. The term "hydrate" refers to the complex where the solvent molecule is water. [0089] The compounds of the present invention, including salts, hydrates and solvates thereof, may inherently or by design form polymorphs. [0090] As used herein, the terms “salt” or “salts” refers to an acid addition or base addition salt of a compound of the present invention. “Salts” include in particular “pharmaceutically acceptable salts”. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the compounds of this invention and, which typically are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. In many cases, the compounds of the present invention are capable of forming acid and/or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and/or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto. [0091] Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be formed with inorganic acids and organic acids, e.g., acetate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bromide/hydrobromide, bicarbonate/carbonate, bisulfate/sulfate, camphorsulfonate, chloride/hydrochloride, chlortheophyllonate, citrate, ethandisulfonate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hippurate, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, lactobionate, laurylsulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, mandelate, mesylate, methylsulphate, naphthoate, napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, octadecanoate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate/hydrogen phosphate/dihydrogen phosphate, polygalacturonate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfosalicylate, tartrate, tosylate and trifluoroacetate salts. [0092] Inorganic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. [0093] Organic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be formed with inorganic and organic bases. [0094] Inorganic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, ammonium salts and metals from columns I to XII of the periodic table. In certain embodiments, the salts are derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, silver, zinc, and copper; particularly suitable salts include ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium salts. [0095] Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, basic ion exchange resins, and the like. Certain organic amines include isopropylamine, benzathine, cholinate, diethanolamine, diethylamine, lysine, meglumine, piperazine and tromethamine. [0096] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from a basic or acidic moiety, by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting free acid forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base (such as Na, Ca, Mg, or K hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate or the like), or by reacting free base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate acid. Such reactions are typically carried out in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two. Generally, use of non-aqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile is desirable, where practicable. Lists of additional suitable salts can be found, e.g., in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences”, 20th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., (1985); and in “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use” by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2002). [0097] Salts of compounds of the present invention having at least one salt-forming group may be prepared in a manner known per se. For example, salts of compounds of the present invention having acid groups may be formed, for example, by treating the compounds with metal compounds, such as alkali metal salts of suitable organic carboxylic acids, e.g., the sodium salt of 2-ethyl hexanoic acid, with organic alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds, such as the corresponding hydroxides, carbonates or hydrogen carbonates, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, with corresponding calcium compounds or with ammonia or a suitable organic amine, stoichiometric amounts or only a small excess of the salt-forming agent may be used. Acid addition salts of compounds of the present invention are obtained in customary manner, e.g., by treating the compounds with an acid or a suitable anion exchange reagent. Internal salts of compounds of the present invention containing acid and basic salt-forming groups, e.g., a free carboxy group and a free amino group, may be formed, e.g., by the neutralization of salts, such as acid addition salts, to the isoelectric point, e.g., with weak bases, or by treatment with ion exchangers. [0098] Salts can be converted in customary manner into the free compounds; metal and ammonium salts can be converted, for example, by treatment with suitable acids, and acid addition salts, for example, by treatment with a suitable basic agent. [0099] Any formula given herein is intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds of the present invention having up to three atoms with non-natural isotope distributions, e.g., sites that are enriched in deuterium or ¹³ C or ¹⁵ N. lsotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number other than the natural-abundance mass distribution. Examples of isotopes that can be usefully over-incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, and chlorine, such as ² H, ³ H, ¹¹ C, ¹³ C, ¹⁴ C, ¹⁵ N, ¹⁸ F, ³¹ P, ³² P, ³⁵ S, ³⁶ Cl, ¹²⁵ I respectively. The invention includes various isotopically labeled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes, such as ³ H and ¹⁴ C, or those in which non-radioactive isotopes, such as ² H and ¹³ C are present at levels substantially above normal isotope distribution. Such isotopically labelled compounds are useful in metabolic studies (with ¹⁴ C, for example), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example ² H or ³ H), detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an ¹⁸ F labeled compound of the present invention may be particularly desirable for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying Examples and Preparations using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent typically employed. Labeled samples may be useful with quite low isotope incorporation, such as where a radiolabel is used to detect trace amounts of the compound. [00100] Further, more extensive substitution with heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium (i.e., ² H or D), may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements or an improvement in therapeutic index. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent of a compound of the present invention, and typically a sample of a compound having deuterium as a substituent has at least 50% deuterium incorporation at the labeled position(s). The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by the isotopic enrichment factor. The term "isotopic enrichment factor" as used herein means the ratio between the isotopic abundance and the natural abundance of a specified isotope. If a substituent in a compound of this invention is denoted deuterium, such compound has an isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium atom), at least 4000 (60% deuterium incorporation), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 5000 (75% deuterium incorporation), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 6000 (90% deuterium incorporation), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation), at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation), or at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium incorporation). [00101] Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates in accordance with the invention include those wherein the solvent of crystallization may be isotopically substituted, e.g. D ₂ O, d ⁶ -acetone, d ⁶ - DMSO. [00102] Compounds of the present invention that contain groups capable of acting as donors and/or acceptors for hydrogen bonds may be capable of forming co-crystals with suitable co- crystal formers. These co-crystals may be prepared from compounds of the present invention by known co-crystal forming procedures. Such procedures include grinding, heating, co- subliming, co-melting, or contacting in solution compounds of the present invention with the co- crystal former under crystallization conditions and isolating co-crystals thereby formed. Suitable co-crystal formers include those described in WO 2004/078163. Hence the invention further provides co-crystals comprising a compound of the present invention. [00103] All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. "such as”) provided herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. [00104] The invention also provides methods of making compounds of Formula I as described herein and intermediates useful for preparation of compounds of Formula (I).

For example, where X represents –OH, any of wide range of dehydrating agents suitable for formation of an amide bond from an amine and a carboxylic acid can be used. Some of these are illustrated by the Examples herein, and include carbodiimides (e.g., dicyclohexyl carbodiimide; diisopropyl carbodiimide; EDC; and the like). Optionally, reaction with a carbodiimide can be facilitated by the presence of an activating agent such as HOBt, HOAt, N- hydroxysuccinimide, or the like.

[00108] The invention relates also to those forms of the process in which a compound obtainable as an intermediate at any stage of the process is used as starting material and the remaining process steps are carried out, or in which a starting material is formed under the reaction conditions or is used in the form of a derivative, for example in a protected form or in the form of a salt, or a compound obtainable by the process according to the invention is produced under the process conditions and processed further in situ. Pharmaceutical Compositions and Routes of Administration [00109] Included within the scope of this invention is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. [00110] According to a further aspect of this embodiment the pharmaceutical composition according to this invention further comprises a therapeutically effective amount of at least one other antiviral agent.

In certain embodiments, the compound of the invention is administered orally, as a pill, lozenge, troche, capsule, solution, or suspension. In other embodiments, a compound of the invention is administered by injection or infusion. Infusion is typically performed intravenously, often over a period of time between about 15 minutes and 4 hours. In other embodiments, a compound of the invention is administered intranasally or by inhalation; inhalation methods are particularly useful for treatment of respiratory infections. Compounds of the present invention exhibit oral bioavailability, and can be administered by oral administration. [00112] The language “pharmaceutical composition” includes preparations suitable for administration to mammals, e.g., humans. When the compounds of the present invention are administered as pharmaceuticals to mammals, e.g., humans, they can be given per se or as a pharmaceutical composition containing, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (e.g., 0.5 to 90%) of at least one compound of Formula (I) or any subgenus thereof as active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, or optionally two or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. [00113] The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” is art recognized and includes a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, suitable for administering compounds of the present invention to mammals. The carriers include liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting the subject agent from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the patient. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: 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; polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene 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; phosphate buffer solutions; and other non-toxic compatible substances employed in pharmaceutical formulations. Typically, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sterilized and/or substantially pyrogen-free.

[00116] Formulations of the present invention include those suitable for oral, nasal, inhalation, topical, transdermal, buccal, sublingual, rectal, vaginal and/or parenteral administration. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by suitable methods. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be that amount of the compound that produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of one hundred per cent, this amount will range from about 1 per cent to about ninety-nine percent of active ingredient, e.g. from about 5 per cent to about 70 per cent, or from about 10 per cent to about 30 per cent. [00117] Methods of preparing these formulations or compositions include the step of bringing into association a compound of the present invention with the carrier and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association a compound of the present invention with liquid carriers, or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product. [00118] Formulations of the invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules, cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavored base, for example, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth), powders, granules, or as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion, or as an elixir or syrup, or as pastilles (using an inert base, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia) and/or as mouth washes and the like, each containing a predetermined amount of a compound of the present invention as an active ingredient. A compound of the present invention may also be administered as a bolus, electuary or paste. [00119] In solid dosage forms of the invention for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the active ingredient is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and/or any of the following: fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and/or silicic acid; binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and/or acacia; humectants, such as glycerol; disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; wetting agents, such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; and coloring agents. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. [00120] A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared using binder (for example, gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (for example, sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), surface- active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. [00121] The tablets, and other solid dosage forms of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, such as dragees, capsules, pills and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings. They may also be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein using, for example, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose in varying proportions to provide the desired release profile, other polymer matrices, liposomes and/or microspheres. They may be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions that can be dissolved in sterile water, or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. These compositions may also optionally contain opacifying agents and may be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain portion of the gastrointestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. The active ingredient can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-described excipients. [00122] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration of the compounds of the invention include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluent 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, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. [00123] Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents. [00124] Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof. [00125] Formulations of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention for rectal or vaginal administration may be presented as a suppository, which may be prepared by mixing one or more compounds of the invention with one or more suitable nonirritating excipients or carriers comprising, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax or a salicylate, and which is solid at room temperature, but liquid at body temperature and, therefore, will melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound. [00126] Formulations of the present invention which are suitable for vaginal administration also include pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate. [00127] Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. The active compound may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants that may be required. [00128] The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this invention, excipients, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof. [00129] Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to a compound of this invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane. [00130] Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound of the present invention to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate of such flux can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or dispersing the active compound in a polymer matrix or gel. [00131] Ophthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders, solutions and the like, are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. [00132] Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention suitable for parenteral administration may comprise one or more compounds of the invention in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers such as sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents. [00133] Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers that may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include water, ethanol, glycol ethers, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. [00134] These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like into the compositions. In addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents that delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin. [00135] In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is 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 having 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. [00136] Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the subject compounds in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending on 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 tissue. [00137] The preparations of the present invention may be given orally, parenterally, topically, or rectally. They are of course given by forms suitable for each administration route. For example, they are administered in tablets or capsule form, by injection, inhalation, eye lotion, ointment, suppository, etc., administration by injection, infusion or inhalation; topical by lotion or ointment; and rectal by suppositories. [00138] The phrases “parenteral administration” and “administered parenterally” as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal and intrasternal injection and infusion. In some embodiments, compounds of the invention are administered by Intravenous infusion. Infusion may be used to deliver a single daily dose or multiple doses. In some embodiments, a compound of the invention is administered by infusion over an interval between 15 minutes and 4 hours, typically between 0.5 and 3 hours. Such infusion may be used once per day, twice per day or up to three times per day. [00139] The phrases “systemic administration,” “administered systemically,” “peripheral administration” and “administered peripherally” as used herein mean the administration of a compound, drug or other material other than directly into the central nervous system, such that it enters the patient's system and, thus, is subject to metabolism and other like processes, for example, subcutaneous administration. [00140] These compounds may be administered to humans and other animals for therapy by any suitable route of administration, including orally, nasally, as by, for example, a spray, rectally, intravaginally, parenterally, intracisternally and topically, as by powders, ointments or drops, including buccally and sublingually. [00141] Regardless of the route of administration selected, the compounds of the present invention, which may be used in a suitable hydrated form, and/or the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms by conventional methods known to those of skill in the art. [00142] Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient which is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient. [00143] The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the particular compound of the present invention employed, or the ester, salt or amide thereof, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular compound employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors. [00144] A physician or veterinarian having ordinary skill in the art can determine and prescribe the effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition required. For example, the physician or veterinarian could start doses of the compounds of the invention employed in the pharmaceutical composition at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. [00145] In general, a suitable daily dose of a compound of the invention will be that amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above. Generally, intravenous and subcutaneous doses of the compounds of this invention for a patient, when used for the indicated effects, will range from about 0.0001 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, more e.g. from about 0.01 to about 50 mg per kg per day, or from about 0.1 to about 20 mg per kg per day. An effective amount is that amount which prevents or treats a viral infection, such as CMV or another herpesvirus. [00146] If desired, the effective daily dose of the active compound may be administered as a single dose per day, or as two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally, in unit dosage forms. Compounds delivered orally or by inhalation, are commonly administered in one to four doses per day. Compounds delivered by injection are typically administered once per day, or once every other day. Compounds delivered by infusion are typically administered in one to three doses per day. When multiple doses are administered within a day, the doses may be administered at intervals of about 4 hours, about 6 hours, about 8 hours or about 12 hours. [00147] While it is possible for a compound of the present invention to be administered alone, they are generally administered as a pharmaceutical composition such as those described herein. Thus methods of using the compounds of the invention include administering the compound as a pharmaceutical composition, wherein at least one compound of the invention is admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier prior to administration. [00148] Various embodiments of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are described herein. It will be recognized that features specified in each embodiment may be combined with other specified features to provide further embodiments. The following enumerated embodiments are representative of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention. Embodiment 171.

Pharmacology and utility [00149] Another aspect of the invention involves a method of treating or preventing a herpesvirus disease and/or infection in a human being by administering to the human being an antivirally effective amount of a compound of the invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a composition as described above, alone or in combination with at least one other antiviral agent, administered together or separately. [00150] Still another aspect of this invention relates to a method of inhibiting the replication of CMV or another herpesvirus, comprising exposing the virus to an effective amount of the compound of Formula (I), or a salt thereof, under conditions where replication of the virus is inhibited. This method can be practiced in vitro or in vivo. [00151] Also within the scope of this invention is the use of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of a herpesvirus disease and/or infection in a human being, including CMV. [00152] Another embodiment of the invention provides a compound as described above, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as a medicament. [00153] The invention also provides the use of a pharmaceutical composition as described herein for the treatment of a CMV infection or other herpesvirus in a human being having or at risk of having the infection. [00154] The invention also provides the use of a pharmaceutical composition as described herein for the treatment of CMV disease or other herpesvirus infection in a human being having or at risk of having the disease. [00155] An additional aspect of this invention refers to an article of manufacture comprising a composition effective to treat a herpesvirus disease and/or infection; and packaging material comprising a label which indicates that the composition can be used to treat disease and/or infection by a herpesvirus such as CMV; wherein the composition comprises a compound of Formula (I) according to this invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. [00156] Further included in the scope of the invention is the use of a compound of Formula (I), or a salt thereof, to inhibit the replication of CMV. [00157] The dose range of the compounds of the invention applicable per day is usually from 0.01 to 100 mg/kg of body weight, e.g. from 0.1 to 50 mg/kg of body weight. Each dosage unit may conveniently contain from 5% to 95% active compound (w/w). For example, such preparations contain from 20% to 80% active compound. [00158] The actual pharmaceutically effective amount or therapeutic dosage will of course depend on factors known by those skilled in the art such as age and weight of the patient, route of administration and severity of disease. In any case the combination will be administered at dosages and in a manner which allows a pharmaceutically effective amount to be delivered based upon patient's unique condition. [00159] An “effective amount” of a compound is that amount necessary or sufficient to treat or prevent a viral infection and/or a disease or condition described herein. In an example, an effective amount of a herpesvirus or CMV DNA polymerase inhibitor of Formula I is an amount sufficient to treat viral infection in a subject. In another example, an effective amount of the DNA polymerase inhibitor is an amount sufficient to treat a viral infection, such as, but not limited to CMV, VZV or EBV, in a subject in need of such treatment. The effective amount can vary depending on such factors as the size and weight of the subject, the type of illness, or the particular compound of the invention. For example, the choice of the compound of the invention can affect what constitutes an “effective amount.” One of ordinary skill in the art would be able to study the factors contained herein and make the determination regarding the effective amount of the compounds of the invention without undue experimentation. [00160] The regimen of administration can affect what constitutes an effective amount. The compound of the invention can be administered to the subject either prior to or after the onset of a viral infection. Further, several divided dosages, as well as staggered dosages, can be administered daily or sequentially, or the dose can be continuously infused, or can be a bolus injection. Further, the dosages of the compound(s) of the invention can be proportionally increased or decreased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic or prophylactic situation. [00161] Compounds of the invention may be used in the treatment of states, disorders or diseases as described herein, or for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for use in the treatment of these diseases. The invention provides methods of use of compounds of the present invention in the treatment of these diseases or for preparation of pharmaceutical compositions having compounds of the present invention for the treatment of these diseases. [00162] Another aspect of the invention involves a method of treating viral disease and/or infection in a human being, the method comprising administering to the human being an antivirally effective amount of a compound of the invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a composition as described above, alone or in combination with at least one other antiviral agent, administered together or separately, wherein the viral disease or infection is selected from CMV infection in immunocompromised patients (e.g. transplant recipients), congenital CMV, genital herpes, oral herpes (cold sores), herpetic keratitis, neonatal herpes, herpes encephalitis, varicella (chickenpox), herpes zoster (shingles), infectious mononucleosis, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD), Castelman’s disease and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. [00163] Another aspect of the invention involves a method of treating a disorder that may be induced/exacerbated/accelerated by herpesvirus infections in a human being, the method comprising administering to the human being an effective amount of a compound of the invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a composition as described above, alone or in combination with at least one other antiviral agent, administered together or separately, wherein the disorder is selected from Alzheimer’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease and type 1 diabetes.

A compound as disclosed in Examples 1-262. Embodiment 184. Use of a compound of any one of Embodiments 1-170 and 183 in the treatment of a viral infection. Combination Treatment [00171] In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) is co-administered with at least one additional agent selected from: a herpesvirus entry inhibitor, a herpesvirus early transcription event inhibitor, a herpesvirus helicase-primase inhibitor, another herpesvirus DNA polymerase inhibitor, an inhibitor of UL97 kinase, a herpesvirus protease inhibitor, a herpesvirus terminase inhibitor, a herpesvirus maturation inhibitor, an inhibitor of another target in the herpesvirus life cycle, a herpesvirus vaccine and a herpesvirus biological agent. In some embodiments, the herpesvirus is CMV. [00172] These additional agents may be combined with the compounds of this invention to create a single pharmaceutical dosage form. Alternatively these additional agents may be separately administered to the patient as part of a multiple dosage form, for example, using a kit. Such additional agents may be administered to the patient prior to, concurrently with, or following the administration of a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. [00173] When the composition of this invention comprises a combination of a compound of the invention and one or more additional therapeutic or prophylactic agent, both the compound and the additional agent should be present at dosage levels of between about 10 to 100%, for example between about 10 and 80% of the dosage normally administered in a monotherapy regimen. [00174] Antiviral agents contemplated for use in such combination therapy include agents (compounds or biologicals) that are effective to inhibit the formation and/or replication of a virus in a human being, including but not limited to agents that interfere with either host or viral mechanisms necessary for the formation and/or replication of a virus in a human being. Such agents can be selected from: a herpesvirus entry inhibitor; a herpesvirus early transcription event inhibitor; a herpesvirus helicase- primase inhibitor; a herpesvirus DNA polymerase inhibitor such as Ganciclovir (Cytovene®), Valganciclovir (Valcyte®; Cymeval®), Cidofovir (Vistide®), Foscarnet (Foscavir®), CMX001, cyclopropavir (MBX-400) and Valaciclovir (Valtrex®; Zelitrex®); an inhibitor of UL97 kinase such as Maribavir; a herpesvirus protease inhibitor; a herpesvirus terminase inhibitor such as AIC246 (Letermovir); a herpesvirus maturation inhibitor; other inhibitors such as Artesunate; a CMV vaccine such as TransVax and a herpesvirus biological agent such as Cytogam (Cytotect®). [00175] A compound of the present invention may also be used in combination with other agents (combination partners), e.g., an additional antiviral agent that is or is not of the formula I, for treatment of a viral infection in a subject. [00176] By the term “combination”, is meant either a fixed combination in one dosage unit form, as separate dosage forms suitable for use together either simultaneously or sequentially, or as a kit of parts for the combined administration where a compound of the present invention and a combination partner may be administered independently at the same time or separately within time intervals that especially allow that the combination partners show a cooperative, e.g., synergistic, effect, or any combination thereof. [00177] In certain embodiments of the present invention, a compound of the present invention is used in combination with a second antiviral agent, such as those named herein. [00178] The second antiviral agent may be administered in combination with the compounds of the present inventions wherein the second antiviral agent is administered prior to, simultaneously, or after the compound or compounds of the present invention. When simultaneous administration of a compound of the invention with a second agent is desired and the route of administration is the same, then a compound of the invention may be formulated with a second agent into the same dosage form. An example of a dosage form containing a compound of the invention and a second agent is a tablet or a capsule. [00179] In some embodiments, a combination of a compound of the invention and a second antiviral agent may provide synergistic activity. The compound of the invention and second antiviral agent may be administered together, separate but simultaneously, or sequentially. Use of Compounds of the Invention in combination with immunomodulators [00180] The compounds and compositions described herein can be used or administered in combination with one or more therapeutic agents that act as immunomodulators, e.g., an activator of a costimulatory molecule, or an inhibitor of an immune-inhibitory molecule, or a vaccine. The Programmed Death 1 (PD-1) protein is an inhibitory member of the extended CD28/CTLA4 family of T cell regulators (Okazaki et al. (2002) Curr Opin Immunol 14: 391779- 82; Bennett et al. (2003) J. Immunol.170:711-8). PD-1 is expressed on activated B cells, T cells, and monocytes. PD-1 is an immune-inhibitory protein that negatively regulates TCR signals (Ishida, Y. et al. (1992) EMBO J.11:3887-3895; Blank, C. et al. (Epub 2006 Dec.29) Immunol. Immunother.56(5):739-745), and is up-regulated in chronic infections. The interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 can act as an immune checkpoint, which can lead to, e.g., a decrease in infiltrating lymphocytes, a decrease in T-cell receptor mediated proliferation, and/or immune evasion by cancerous or infected cells (Dong et al. (2003) J. Mol. Med.81:281- 7; Blank et al. (2005) Cancer Immunol. Immunother.54:307-314; Konishi et al. (2004) Clin. Cancer Res.10:5094-100). Immune suppression can be reversed by inhibiting the local interaction of PD-1 with PD-L1 or PD-L2; the effect is additive when the interaction of PD-1 with PD-L2 is blocked as well (Iwai et al. (2002) Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 99:12293-7; Brown et al. (2003) J. Immunol.170:1257-66). Immunomodulation can be achieved by binding to either the immune-inhibitory protein (e.g., PD-1) or to binding proteins that modulate the inhibitory protein (e.g., PD-L1, PD-L2). [00181] In one embodiment, the combination therapies of the invention include an immunomodulator that is an inhibitor or antagonist of an inhibitory molecule of an immune checkpoint molecule. In another embodiment the immunomodulator binds to a protein that naturally inhibits the immuno-inhibitory checkpoint molecule. When used in combination with antiviral compounds, these immunomodulators can enhance the antiviral response, and thus enhance efficacy relative to treatment with the antiviral compound alone. [00182] The term "immune checkpoints" refers to a group of molecules on the cell surface of CD4 and CD8 T cells. These molecules can effectively serve as "brakes" to down-modulate or inhibit an adaptive immune response. Immune checkpoint molecules include, but are not limited to, Programmed Death 1 (PD-1), Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4), B7H1, B7H4, OX-40, CD137, CD40, and LAG3, which directly inhibit immune cells. Immunotherapeutic agents which can act as immune checkpoint inhibitors useful in the methods of the present invention, include, but are not limited to, inhibitors of PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4 and/or TGFR beta. Inhibition of an inhibitory molecule can be performed by inhibition at the DNA, RNA or protein level. In some embodiments, an inhibitory nucleic acid (e.g., a dsRNA, siRNA or shRNA), can be used to inhibit expression of an inhibitory molecule. In other embodiments, the inhibitor of an inhibitory signal is a polypeptide, e.g., a soluble ligand, or an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to the inhibitory molecule. [00183] By “in combination with,” it is not intended to imply that the therapy or the therapeutic agents must be administered at the same time and/or formulated for delivery together, although these methods of delivery are within the scope described herein. The immunomodulator can be administered concurrently with, prior to, or subsequent to, one or more compounds of the invention, and optionally one or more additional therapies or therapeutic agents. The therapeutic agents in the combination can be administered in any order. In general, each agent will be administered at a dose and/or on a time schedule determined for that agent. It will further be appreciated that the therapeutic agents utilized in this combination may be administered together in a single composition or administered separately in different compositions. In general, it is expected that each of the therapeutic agents utilized in combination be utilized at levels that do not exceed the levels at which they are utilized individually. In some embodiments, the levels utilized in combination will be lower than those utilized individually.

As one example, reference is made to Example 155, where the present Example 262 serves as an intermediate (labeled 155a) to the final product, Example 155. Bioactivity of the compounds of the invention was determined using the following methods. CMV and HSV polymerase protein production [00681] Both human CMV DNA polymerase UL54 and human HSV DNA polymerase UL30 were produced as N-terminal MBP fusion of the full length, wild type recombinant proteins in order to enhance soluble expression in insect cell expression system. The proteins were expressed in sf9 insect cells via baculovirus transduction and cells were harvested after 48 hours. The soluble proteins were purified using the standard Ni-IMAC purification strategy via the N-terminal hexa-Histidine tag, followed by heparin affinity chromatography. Both of the final MBP fusion proteins were more than 90% pure and the yield of UL54 was up to 1.8 mg per liter culture while UL30 was up to 15 mg per liter culture. All purification steps were performed on ice, with buffers chilled on ice and FPLC fraction collectors set at 6 °C. The final UL54 protein was concentrated and stored in buffer containing 35 mM Tris pH7.5, 375 mM NaCl, 42.5% Glycerol, and 1 mM TCEP at -20°C. UL30 protein was stored in buffer containing 20 mM HEPES, pH7.0, 420 mM NaCl, 20% glycerol, 6mM Imidazole, and 0.8 mM DTT at -80 °C. CMV and HSV polymerase biochemical assay [00682] DNA polymerase activity was measured using a molecular beacon-based assay, as described in Ma et. al. 100pM CMV polymerase or 625pM HSV polymerase was added to a buffer containing 20mM Tris, pH=7.5, 100mM NaCl, 10mM MgCl ₂ , 0.01% Tween-20, 0.5mM EDTA, 10% Sucrose and 1mM DTT. The inhibitor was pre-incubated with the polymerase for 30 minutes at room temperature. Reactions were initiated by the addition of a mixture containing 1.25uM dATP, 1.25uM dCTP, 1.25uM dTTP, 1.25uM dGTP, 200nM Primer B (5'- GAC GGG AAG-3'5'- GAC GGG AAG-3') and 100nM molecular beacon (5'-5,6-FAM-CCT CTC CGT GTC TTG TAC TTC CCG TCA GAG AGG-BHQ1-3'). For human CMV polymerase the reactions were incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. For HSV polymerase the reactions were incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. The reactions were then read on a Perkin-Elmer EnVision 2101 reader (fluorescence) using an excitation of 480nm and emission of 535nm. IC50s were determined using an internal Novartis software (Helios). References: Ma et.al. (2006). Real-time monitoring of DNA polymerase activity using molecular beacon. Analytical Biochemistry, 353 (1): 141–143 CMV polymerase and HSV polymerase assay protocols [00683] 100pM CMV polymerase or 625pM HSV polymerase was added to a buffer containing 20mM Tris, pH=7.5, 100mM NaCl, 10mM MgCl2, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.5mM EDTA, 10% Sucrose and 1mM DTT.

Cellular herpesvirus replication assays Compound Dilutions: [00684] For all viral assays, 10mM DMSO stock compound solutions were serially diluted in DMSO at 3.16 fold dilutions in 96-well clear round bottom plates. Compounds were then diluted in assay media at 1:20 and subsequently 10 µL of these dilutions were added to cells for final compound concentrations ranging either from 0.0159 µM to 50 µM in 0.5% DMSO/assay media, or from 0.00318 to 10 µM in 0.5% DMSO/assay media. CMV Luciferase assay: [00685] The assay uses a Luciferase-encoding HCMV. Luciferase is expressed under the control of a late viral gene (pp28) promoter in the AD169 strain, so that expression of the reporter is dependent on viral DNA replication. Compounds that affect any stage from viral entry to DNA replication result in a change in luciferase levels. [00686] For compounds 1-242, viral replication in the presence or absence of compounds was measured by luciferase activity according to the following procedure: Neo-natal normal human dermal fibroblast cells (NN-NHDF, from ATCC cat#201-010) were seeded at 9,000 cells/well in 96-well white solid bottom plate at 80 uL/well in assay media: 2% FBS, 4mM GlutaMax® (Invitrogen cat#35050) in DMEM/high glucose/no glutamine/no phenol red media (Invitrogen cat#31053). After 2 hrs at 37°C, 10 uL of compound diluted in assay media or 5% DMSO (final 0.5% DMSO/well) was added and the plates returned to 37°C. One hour later, 10 uL of virus diluted in assay media was added at a final Multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 72 hrs. At 72 hours post-infection (hpi), plates were equilibrated to room temperature. After 25 min, 100 uL Renilla-Glo® Luciferase Assay Reagent (Promega cat# E2750) was added to each well and incubated for 10 min. Plates were covered to protect from light. Luminescence was measured on the PHERAstar FS®. [00687] The following controls were included in the data analysis: No virus, no compound (0.5% DMSO) = IC (maximal inhibitory control); Virus, no compound (0.5% DMSO) = NC (neutral control). Data were analyzed using an internal Novartis software (Helios). The means of the controls (NC, IC) were used to normalize the results to a % scale using the formula: %Control = 100 - (100*(Sample value- NC)/(IC-NC)). [00688] For each compound, the software derived an EC ₅₀ using a 4-parameter logistical model. CMV luciferase assay of compounds 243-262. [00689] Compounds 243-262 were tested in a luminescence assay as follows. [00690] ARPE-19 cells were maintained in growth medium (DMEM/F12 Glutamax + 10 fetal bovine serum (FBS) + PenStrep) and, before reaching full confluence, were transferred to a centrifuge tube and spun for 5 minutes at 1000 rpm. The cells were resuspended in assay medium (DMEM/F12 Glutamax + 2% FBS + PenStrep) and counted. Cell density was adjusted to one million cells per milliliter and infected with HCMV-Rluc virus (AD169 pp28-hRluc rUL131; MOI 0.6) in a 50 ml conical tube for 2 hours while shaking. After dilution of the infectious suspension ten-fold (to 100,000 cells per milliliter), 8000 cells are directly plated in 384-well plates pre-spotted with the compound to be tested. The cells were incubated for 72 hours at 37 degrees Celsius. Cells were then placed at room temperature and allowed to equilibrate for 20 minutes before addition of the Renilla-Glo (Promega) reagent. After a 10-minute incubation at room temperature, luminescence was measured on a microplate reader. [00691] HSV-1 qPCR assay: The assay uses KOS strain of HSV-1 virus (ATCC cat#VR- 1493). Viral replication in the presence or absence of compounds was measured by qPCR according to the following procedure: NN-NHDF cells were plated at 9,000 cells/well in 96-well white-wall clear bottom plates in 80 µL/well of assay media (same as CMV) and left at room temperature in laminar flow hood for 20 mins followed by incubation at 37°C. One hr later, 10 µL of diluted compound, or 10 µL of 5% DMSO as a control were added to each well (0.5% DMSO final). One hr later, virus was added at a final MOI of 0.01, in 10uL/well assay media. Cells were then incubated at 37°C. After 24 hrs, medium was removed, cells were washed once with 100 µL DPBS (Invitrogen, cat#21-031-CV), and lysed using the prepGEM® tissue kit (ZyGEM, cat# PTI0500K), by addition of 100 µL of prepGEM® master mix (89 µL H ₂ O, 10 µL 10x prepGEM® Buffer, 1 µL prepGEM® enzyme per well) to each well. Plates were sealed with aluminum foil sealers, and lysed on a heat block at 75°C for 15 min. Plates were then allowed to cool to room temperature with light shaking before proceeding to the qPCR setup. [00692] VZV qPCR assay: The assay uses co-infection with VZV Ellen strain-infected MRC-5 cells (ATCC cat #VR-1367). Viral replication in the presence or absence of compounds was measured by qPCR according to the following procedure: 12,000 uninfected MRC-5 cells were mixed with VZV-infected MRC-5 cells at a ratio of 1 to 10 infected to uninfected cells, in 96-well white-wall clear bottom plates in 90 µL/well of assay media: 4% FBS in EMEM (ATCC cat#30- 2003). After 1 hr at 37°C, 10 µL of diluted compound, or 10 µL of 5% DMSO as a control were added to each well (0.5% DMSO final). Cells were then incubated at 37°C. The chosen ratio of infected to uninfected cells gave approximately 3% VZV-positive cells at 6 hours post co- culturing, as detected by immunofluorescent staining of VZV Immediate Early 62 gene. After two days, medium was removed, cells were washed once with 100 µL DPBS and lysed using the prepGEM tissue kit as described above. [00693] EBV qPCR assay: The assay uses the SNU-719 gastric carcinoma cell line which is latently infected with EBV. Upon reactivation with chemical reagents, EBV DNA copy number was measured by qPCR. Viral replication in the presence or absence of compounds was measured according to the following procedure: SNU-719 cells were plated at 2x10 ⁴ cells/well in 96-well clear bottom plates, black in 80 µL/well of assay media: 2% FBS in RPMI 1640 (ATCC cat# 30-2001). After 1 hr at 37°C, 10 µL of diluted compound, or 10 µL of 5% DMSO as a control, were added to each well (0.5% DMSO final). Lytic replication of the virus was then activated by addition of 10 µL of a mixture of 20 ng/ml tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) and 3mM sodium butyrate (NaB). At 18 hpi, media was removed, fresh assay media with compound or DMSO was added, and cells were returned to 37°C. After 72 hrs of lytic replication, media was removed, cells were washed with 100 µL DPBS and lysed using the prepGEM tissue kit as before. qPCR procedure and data analysis for HSV, VZV and EBV: [00694] qPCR reactions were carried out in a total reaction volume of 20 µL, using the QuantiFast® Multiplex PCR kit (Qiagen cat #204656). Eighteen µL of qPCR master mix (10 µL of 2x QuantiFast® Multiplex PCR Master Mix, 1 µL of 20x Primer/Probe Mix specific to housekeeping gene, 1 µL of 20x Primer/Probe Mix specific to viral gene, 6 µL of H ₂ O) was distributed into each well of a 384 well plate. Two µL of cell lysate was added to each well. Each cell lysate was run in duplicate. Plates were sealed with a clear sealer, spun down, and qPCR reactions were performed in an ABI 7900HT instrument using the following conditions: 95°C for 5 min, then 40 cycles: 95°C for 30 sec, 60°C for 30 sec. [00695] Relative quantification was calculated with the DDCT Method, and then converted into percent inhibitions. Virus + DMSO samples (without drug) were used to determine the calibrator. EC ₅₀ values were calculated using XLFit Dose Response One Site Model 205. qPCR primers and probes Table 17: Bioactivity Data
