Cyclopentane derivatives, designated as BCX-1812, BCX-1827, BCX-1898, and BCX-1923, were tested in parallel with oseltamivir carboxylate and zanamivir for the in vivo activity in mice infected with A/Turkey/Mas/76 X A/Beijing/32/92 (H6N2) influenza virus. The compounds were tested orally and intranasally at different dose levels. BCX-1812, BCX-1827, and BCX-1923 showed more than 50% protection at 1mg/kg/day dose level on oral treatment. The intranasal treatment was 100% effective even at 0.01 mg/kg/day for all four compounds. On comparison with oseltamivir carboxylate and zanamivir, these four cyclopentane derivatives have shown equal or better efficacies. The synthesis of two new compounds, BCX-1898 and BCX-1923, is also described.

ABSTRACT A novel series of cyclopentane derivatives have been found to exhibit potent and selective inhibitory effects on influenza virus neuraminidase. These compounds, designated RWJ-270201, BCX-1827, BCX-1898, and BCX-1923, were tested in parallel with zanamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate against a spectrum of influenza A (H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1) and influenza B viruses in MDCK cells. Inhibition of viral cytopathic effect ascertained visually and by neutral red dye uptake was used, with 50% effective (virus-inhibitory) concentrations (EC 50 ) determined. Against the H1N1 viruses A/Bayern/07/95, A/Beijing/262/95, A/PR/8/34, and A/Texas/36/91, EC 50 s (determined by neutral red assay) of the novel compounds were ≤1.5 μM. Twelve strains of H3N2 and two strains of avian H5N1 viruses were inhibited at <0.3 μM. Influenza B/Beijing/184/93 and B/Harbin/07/94 viruses were inhibited at <0.2 μM, with three other B virus strains inhibited at 0.8 to 8 μM. The novel inhibitors were comparable in potency to (or slightly more potent than) zanamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate. No cytotoxicity was seen with the compounds at concentrations of ≤1 mM in cell proliferation assays. The antiviral activity of RWJ-270201, chosen for clinical development, was studied in greater detail. Its potency and that of oseltamivir carboxylate decreased with increasing multiplicity of virus infection. Time-of-addition studies indicated that treatment with either compound needed to begin 0 to 12 h after virus exposure for optimal activity. Exposure of cells to RWJ-270201 caused most of the virus to remain cell associated, with extracellular virus decreasing in a concentration-dependent manner. This is consistent with its effect as a neuraminidase inhibitor. RWJ-270201 shows promise in the treatment of human influenza virus infections.
