摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of a dioxolane thymine compound according to the chemical structure of Formula (I): where R1 is H, an acyl group, a C1-C20 alkyl or ether group, a phosphate, diphosphate, triphosphate or phosphodiester group, for use in the treatment of HIV infections which exhibit resistance to 3TC and/or AZT. Preferably, compounds according to the present invention are combined with at least one anti-HIV agent which inhibits HIV by a mechanism other than through the inhibition of thymidine kinase (TK). These agents include those selected from among nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), non-nucloeoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, fusion inhibitors, among others. These agents are generally selected from the group consisting of 3TC (Lamivudine), AZT (Zidovudine), (-)-FTC, ddI (Didanosine), ddC (zalcitabine), abacavir (ABC), tenofovir (PMPA), D-D4FC (Reverset), D4T (Stavudine), Racivir, L-D4FC, NVP (Nevirapine), DLV (Delavirdine), EFV (Efavirenz), SQVM (Saquinavir mesylate), RTV (Ritonavir), IDV (Indinavir), SQV (Saquinavir), NFV (Nelfinavir), APV (Amprenavir), LPV (Lopinavir), fuseon and mixtures thereof. The TK dependent agents, such as AZT and D4T, may be used in combination with one of the dioloxane thymine compounds according to the present invention, but the use of such agents may be less preferred. In preferred compositions according to the present invention, Rl is preferably H or a C2-C18 acyl group or a monophosphate group. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of reducing the likelihood that a patient at risk for contract an HIV infection will contract the infection are other aspects of the present invention.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical prodrug compositions are provided comprising azide derivatives of drugs which are capable of being converted to the drug in vivo. Azide derivatives of drugs having amine, ketone and hydroxy substituents are converted in vivo to the corresponding drugs, increasing the half-life of the drugs. In addition azide prodrugs are often better able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier than the corresponding drugs. Especially useful are azide derivatives of cordycepin, 2'-F-ara-ddI, AraA, acyclovir, penciclovir and related drugs. Useful azide prodrugs are azide derivatives of therapeutic alicyclic amines, ketones, and hydroxy-substituted compounds, including aralkyl, heterocyclic aralkyl, and cyclic aliphatic compounds, where the amine or oxygen moiety is on the ring, or where the amine or oxygen moiety is on an aliphatic side chain, as well as therapeutic purines and pyrimidines, nucleoside analogs and phosphorylated nucleoside analogs.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the discovery that certain β-L-dioxolane nucleoside analogs which contain a uracil base, and preferably, a 5-halosubstituted uracil base, exhibit unexpectedly high activity against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) and Human Herpes Virus 8 (HV-8). In particular, the compounds according to the present invention show potent inhibition of the replication of the virus (viral growth) in combination with very low toxicity to the host cells (i.e., animal or human tissue). Compounds are useful for treating EBV, VZV and HV-8 infections in humans.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a compound having formula (I) where X = R1O, F, Br, I, C1, or a C1 to C5 alkyl group; R1 = a C1 to C10 alkyl group or a C1 to C10 aryl group, n = 1 or 2, R2 = aC1 to C6 alkyl group, an amino acid, a heterocycle, a secondary or tertiary C3 to C4 hydrocarbon, or (a) where R3 = H or CH3, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions which include the compounds, as well as methods of making and using the compounds.
