Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a compound having the formula (I) , optionally in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, polymorph, prodrug, codrug, cocrystal, tautomer racemate, enantiomer, or diastereomer or mixture thereof,
  • Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family of RNA viruses. Based on antigenic differences of viral nucleocapsid and matrix proteins, influenza viruses are further divided into three types named influenza A, B, and C viruses. All influenza viruses have an envelope, and their genomes are composed of eight or seven single-stranded, negative-sensed RNA segments. These viruses cause respiratory diseases in humans and animals with a significant morbidity and mortality The influenza pandemic of 1918, Spanish flu, is thought to have killed up to 100 million people. The reassortment of avian flu RNA fragments with circulating human viruses caused the other two pandemics in 1957 H2N2 ′′Asian influenza′′ and 1968 H3N2 ′′Hong Kong influenza′′ .
  • the prophylaxis is an effective method, at least in some populations, for preventing influenza virus infection and its potentially severe complications.
  • continuous viral antigenicity shifting and drifting makes future circulating flu strains unpredictable.
  • other anti-flu approaches such as anti-flu drugs are highly desirable.
  • neuraminidase inhibitors such as oseltamivir phosphate (Tamilflu) and zanamivir (Relenza)
  • M2 ion channel blockers such as amantadine and rimantadine.
  • H5N1 and related highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses could acquire mutations rendering them more easily transmissible between humans.
  • the new A/H1N1 could become more virulent and only a single point mutation would be enough to confer resistance to oseltamivir (Neumann et al., Nature 2009, 18, 459 (7249) , 931-939) .
  • This has already happenend in the case of some seasonal H1N1 strains which have recently been identified (Dharan et al., The Journal of the American Medical Association, 2009, 301 (10) , 1034-1041; Moscona et al., The New England Journal of Medicine 2009, 360 (10) , 953-956) .
  • the unavoidable delay in generating and deploying a vaccine could in such cases be catastrophically costly in human lives and societal disruption.
  • anti-viral medicament may be facilitated by the availability of structural data of viral proteins.
  • structural data of influenza virus surface antigen neuraminidase has, e.g. led to the design of improved neuraminidase inhibitors (Von Itzstein et al., Nature 1993, 363, 418-423) .
  • active compounds which have been developed based on such structural data include zanamivir (Glaxo) and oseltamivir (Roche) .
  • these medicaments may lead to a reduction of the duration of the disease, there remains an urgent need for improved medicaments which may also be used for curing these diseases.
  • Adamantane-containing compounds such as amantadine and rimantadine are another example of active compounds which have been used in order to treat influenza. However, they often lead to side effects and have been found to be ineffective in a growing number of cases (Magden et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 2005, 66, 612-621) .
  • More unspecific viral drugs have been used for the treatment of influenza and other virus infections (Eriksson et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 1977, 11, 946-951) , but their use is limited due to side effects (Furuta et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 2005, 981-986) .
  • Influenza viruses being Orthomyxoviridae are negative-sense ssRNA viruses.
  • viruses of this group include Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Ophioviridae, Deltavirus, Bornaviridae, Filoviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Rhabdoviridae and Nyamiviridae. These viruses use negative-sense RNA as their genetic material. Single-stranded RNA viruses are classified as positive or negative depending on the sense or polarity of the RNA. Before transcription, the action of an RNA polymerase is necessary to produce positive RNA from the negative viral RNA. The RNA of a negative-sense virus (vRNA) alone is therefore considered non-infectious.
  • vRNA negative-sense virus
  • the trimeric viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase consisting of polymerase basic protein 1 (PB1) , polymerase basic protein 2 (PB2) and polymerase acidic protein (PA) subunits, is responsible for the transcription and replication of the viral RNA genome segments.
  • the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex represents the minimal transcriptional and replicative machinery of an influenza virus.
  • the polymerase when comprised in the RNP complex, is also referred to as vRNP enzyme.
  • the viral RNA polymerase generates a complementary RNA (cRNA) replication intermediate, a full-length complement of the vRNA that serves as a template for the synthesis of new copies of vRNA.
  • cRNA complementary RNA
  • the viral RNA polymerase comprised in the RNP complex synthesizes capped and polyadenylated mRNA using 5′ capped RNA primers This process involves a mechanism called cap snatching.
  • the influenza polymerase uses host cell transcripts (capped pre-mRNAs) as primers for the synthesis of viral transcripts.
  • the nucleoprotein is an essential component of the viral transcriptional machinery.
  • the polymerase complex which is responsible for transcribing the single-stranded negative-sense viral RNA into viral mRNAs and for replicating the viral mRNAs, is thus a promising starting points for developing new classes of compounds which may be used in order to treat influenza (Fodor, Acta virologica 2013, 57, 113-122) .
  • the polymerase complex contains a number of functional active sites which are expected to differ to a considerable degree from functional sites present in proteins of cells functioning as hosts for the virus (Magden et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotachnol. 2005, 66, 612-621) .
  • a substituted 2, 6-diketopiperazine has been identified which selectively inhibits the cap-dependent transcriptase of influenza A and B viruses without having an effect on the activities of other polymerases (Tomassini et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 1996, 40, 1189-1193) .

  • the resulting 9-13 nucleotide long, capped RNA oligo serves as a primer for the subsequent synthesis of viral mRNA by the polymerase subunit PB1.
  • radiolabeled nucleotide will be incorporated into the mRNA product, which will be captured on a specific filter plate by TCA precipitation. The efficiency of nucleotide incorporation is then determined by scintillation counting of captured mRNA on the filter plate. A higher rate of mRNA synthesis leads to higher signals. Due to the essential involvement of cap-binding and cleavage reaction prior to polymerization of mRNA, it is possible to inhibit transcription by either blocking the endonuclease active site of PA or the cap-binding site of PB2 and therefore to determine IC50 values of both endonuclease and cap-binding inhibitors.
