RESUMEN
Chimpanzees were challenged with HIV-1IIIB while receiving a short regimen of nevirapine (Viramune), a nonnucleoside inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. The untreated, control chimpanzee developed an infection characterized by seroconversion, viremia in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and plasma positive for viral RNA. In contrast, the three nevirapine-treated chimpanzees remained negative for all viral markers with the exception of nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of PBMCs for viral DNA. Although PBMCs from the three nevirapine-treated chimpanzees tested intermittently positive for viral DNA, this PCR signal disappeared and remained negative for the final five months of the study. These data indicate that orally administered nevirapine provided protection from HIV-1 infection in the chimpanzee model.

Molecular modeling analysis of the recently published X-ray crystal structure of nevirapine bound to wild type human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (WT-RT) indicated the presence of a lipophilic cavity proximal to the 4-position of the inhibitor. A series of 4-substituted derivatives of nevirapine were thus synthesized to assess structure-activity relationships (SARs) and to see if increased binding to this region might translate into greater activity against mutant RTs. The results show that compounds with an appropriately spaced aryl ring appended to the 4-position of the dipyridodiazepinone ring system show good activity against WT-RT. Furthermore certain derivatives appear to inhibit the Y181C mutant RT. Attempts to combine these results with the recent discovery that 2-substituents enhance activity against the Y181C mutant led to a few compounds with moderate activity against both enzymes. The SAR of these two positions, however, could not be combined in a simple fashion.

Like other nonnucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, the dipyridodiazepinone nevirapine (Viramune, 1) selects for drug resistant variants of HIV-1, both in cell culture and in patients. In particular, the mutation of residue 181 from tyrosine to cysteine (Y181C) is associated with resistance to most reported nonnucleoside inhibitors. Introduction of an arylethyl substituent at the 8-position of the tricyclic dipyridodiazepinone skeleton confers enhanced potency against Y181C RT. Several analogues of this series display good broad spectrum potency against a panel of mutant enzymes.

Nevirapine (I) is the first human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor to reach regulatory approval. As a result of a second generation program around the tricyclic core system of nevirapine, 2-chloro-5, 11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-(2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethyl)-6H-dipyrido[3, 2-b:2',3'-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one (II)1a and 2-chloro-5, 11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-phenylethyl-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2', 3'-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one (III)1a were identified as broad spectrum HIV-1 RT inhibitors. A detailed examination of replacing either of the methylenes of the 8-ethyl linker of II or III is presented. It was found that 8-aryloxymethyl and 8-arylthiomethyl are the preferred pattern of substitution for potency against RT. The most potent compounds were further evaluated against a panel of clinically significant mutant RT enzymes (K103N, V106A, G190A, P236L) and in cytotoxicity and in vitro metabolism assays. The most potent compound was 2-chloro-8-phenylthiomethyl analogue 37 which displayed sub-100 nM activity against all HIV-1 RT enzymes tested.

Meloxicam (5), an NSAID in the enol-carboxamide class, was developed on the basis of its antiinflammatory activity and relative safety in animal models. In subsequent screening in microsomal assays using human COX-1 and COX-2, we discovered that it possessed a selectivity profile for COX-2 superior to piroxicam and other marketed NSAIDs. We therefore embarked on a study of enol-carboxamide type compounds to determine if COX-2 selectivity and potency could be dramatically improved by structural modification. Substitution at the 6- and 7-positions of the 4-oxo-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide, alteration of the N-methyl substituent, and amide modification were all examined. In addition we explored several related systems including the isomeric 3-oxo-1,2-benzothiazine-4-carboxamides, thienothiazines, indolothizines, benzothienothiazines, naphthothiazines, and 1,3- and 1,4-dioxoisoquinolines. While a few examples were found with greater potency in the COX-2 assay, no compound tested had a better COX-2/COX-1 selectivity profile than that of 5.

Nevirapine, a dipyridodiazepinone, is a highly specific inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) which exhibits an IC50 = 84nM in enzyme assays and IC50 = 40nM against HIV-1 replication in cell culture. This nonnucleoside inhibitor acts noncompetitively with respect to nucleoside triphosphates, template and primer suggesting that nevirapine does not bind to the active site of RT. Studies employing an azido analogue of nevirapine as a photoaffinity probe indicated that one molecule of inhibitor is sufficient to inactivate one molecule of heterodimeric enzyme and demonstrated that only the p66 subunit of p66/p51 heterodimeric RT is covalently labeled by this probe. When subjected to trypic mapping, Tyr 181 and Tyr 188 were labeled with probe and consequently these aromatic residues are apparently near or actually within the RT binding site for nevirapine. The extent to which Tyr 181 and Tyr 188 participate/contribute to nevirapine binding was determined by making amino acid substitutions at these positions using the corresponding residues from HIV-2 RT which is not sensitive to nevirapine. A change at either position dramatically decreased the enzymes' sensitivity to nevirapine, as well as to TIBO derivative and Merck L-693,593, indicating that both Tyr 181 and 188 are crucial for inhibitor-enzyme interaction. Cell culture selection in the continued presence of nevirapine results in the appearance of resistant HIV-1, Tyr 181 to Cys, raising the concern that combination drug therapy will be required in the clinic.

Nevirapine (BI-RG-587) is a potent inhibitor of the polymerase activity of reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus type-1. Nevirapine, as well as several other non-nucleoside compounds of various structural classes, bind strongly at a site which includes tyrosines 181 and 188 of the p66 subunit of reverse transcriptase. The chromatography which was utilized to explore this binding site is described. BI-RH-448 and BI-RJ-70, two tritiated photoaffinity azido analogues of nevirapine, are each crosslinked to reverse transcriptase. The use of several HPLC-based techniques employing different modes of detection makes it possible to demonstrate a dramatic difference between the two azido analogues in crosslinking behavior. In particular, by comparing HPLC tryptic peptide maps of the photoadducts formed between reverse transcriptase and each azido analogue, it can be shown that crosslinking with BI-RJ-70 but not with BI-RH-448 is more localized, stable, and hence exploitable for the identification of the specifically bonded amino acid residue(s). In addition, comparison of the tryptic maps also makes it feasible to assess which rings of the nevirapine structure are proximal or distal to amino acid side chains of reverse transcriptase. Finally, another feature of the HPLC peptide maps is the application of on-line detection by second order derivative UV absorbance spectroscopy to identify the crosslinked amino acid residue.

Human leukocyte interferon (HL-IF), produced by mixed leukocytes infected with Newcastle disease virus, was resolved into three distinct fractions when chromatographed on concanavalin A-agarose. The major portion (70--75%) of interferon appeared in the breakthrough (BT fraction). The bound interferon (25--30%) was displaced from the column as two peaks: the first was eluted with 0.01 M methyl alpha-D-mannoside, yielding 15-20% of the interferon activity (alpha-MM fraction), and the second by including ethylene glycol (70%) in the eluant, yielding the remaining 5--15% of the interferon (EG fraction). No interferon was retained when HL-IF produced in the presence of glycosylation inhibitors (tunicamycin or 2-deoxy-D-glucose) was chromatographed on concanavalin A-agarose, suggesting that the fraction of interferon retained by this lectin is glycosylated. The three fractions of interferon (BT, alpha-MM, and EG) were characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, cross-species antiviral activity, and neutralization by specific antisera. The BT fraction contains exclusively the 16 000 molecular weight component of human leukocyte interferon. The majority of the alpha-MM fraction (90%) is the 21 000 molecular weight component. However, the EG fraction contains the 16 000 and 21 000--23 000 molecular weight components in essentially equal proportions. On the basis of cross-species antiviral activity and neutralization by specific antisera, the BT and alpha-MM fractions are leukocyte-type interferon and the EG fraction seems to be primarily of fibroblast type.

Human leukocyte interferon (HL-IF)binds to AGPOLY(A)TM, AGPOLY(U)TM and AGPOLY(I)TM. The bound interferon could be displaced from all three polyribonucleotides by including sodium chloride in the eluant. The nature of interaction of HL-IF with polyribonucleotides is electrostatic and not hydrophobic since its binding was not prevented in the presence of 50% ethylene glycol. The binding of HL-IF on AGPOLY(I)TM is stronger at lower pH since an increase in ionic strength is required to displace it.

PC12 is a nerve growth factor (NGF) responsive cell line which exhibits two classes of NGF receptors distinguishable by different kinetic rate constants, sensitivity to trypsin and resistance to Triton detergent solubilization. Whereas incubation of PC12 cells with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) prior to addition of 125I-NGF inhibits binding of NGF to both classes of receptors, treatment with WGA subsequent to incubation with NGF does not inhibit NGF binding but causes the class of NGF receptors which exhibit rapid or "Fast" dissociation kinetics prior to lectin treatment to be converted to the form which exhibits "Slow" dissociation kinetics. This WGA-mediated receptor conversion is lectin specific, blocked by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, occurs at similar rates at 4 and 37 degrees C, and is not impaired by a metabolic poison. NGF receptors converted by WGA, like pre-existing Slow receptors, are resistant to trypsinization and remain associated to Triton X-100 extracted "cytoskeletons." Very similar results were obtained for NGF receptors on a human melanoma cell line A875. These results suggest that Fast and Slow receptors are two interconvertible forms of a single protein, rather than distinct proteins. The significance of the generality of these properties for NGF receptors from diverse species and cell types is discussed.

A cell surface glycoprotein receptor for nerve growth factor (NGF) has been identified by covalent crosslinking to 125I-labeled NGF (125I-NGF). Either ethyldimethylisopropyl-aminocarbodiimide or hydroxysuccinimidyl-p-azidobenzoate causes highly specific crosslinking of 125I-NGF to a similar receptor species on rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and on human melanoma A875 cells. The NGF-receptor complex migrates as a broad band in NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent Mr of approximately equal to 100,000. Because the NaDodSO4-denatured complex apparently contains a single Mr 13,000 NGF chain, the apparent molecular weight of the receptor itself is 87,000. Inhibition of protein glycosylation by tunicamycin generates smaller 125I-NGF-receptor complexes. The mobility of the smallest of these in NaDodSO4 gel electrophoresis corresponds to a Mr of 90,000 for the complex and, hence, 77,000 for the carbohydrate-deficient receptor. A second NGF-receptor complex with a Mr of 225,000 also is obtained from A875 cells but only occasionally from PC12 cells. Tunicamycin treatment decreases the molecular weight of these species by 10,000-15,000. Substantial purification of the Mr 100,000 NGF-receptor complex was achieved by lectin affinity chromatography on columns of wheat germ agglutinin linked to Affi-Gel 15. The specific absorption of NGF-receptor complexes to these columns indicates that the receptor is a glycoprotein that contains N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.

Antiviral activity of interferon secreted by human leukocytes into the culture fluid in the presence of tunicamycin (1-2 microgram/ml) was significantly decreased, by 50-60 percent, in comparison to that produced in the absence of the antibiotic. No loss in antiviral activity occurred when tunicamycin was added to already harvested interferon preparations. Some physico-chemical and biological properties of human leukocyte interferon synthesized in the presence of tunicamycin (HL-IFT) were apparently altered by comparison with those of control preparations of human leukocyte interferon (HL-IF): HF-IFT had only one molecular weight component of 16,000 daltons in contrast to the two components of HL-IF of 16,000 and 21,000 daltons. HL-IFT also had a higher apparent hydrophobicity and was less efficiently neutralized by an antibody raised against HL-IF. However, some other properties remained unchanged: isoelectric point, pI about 6; affinity for immobilized polyriboinosinic acid and a spectrum of cross-species antiviral activity. These data support the notion that the major component of HL-IF (70%, 16,000 daltons) is apparently nonglycosylated whereas the minor component (30%, 21,000 daltons) is glycosylated via saccharide-lipid intermediates.

Human fibroblast and human leucocyte interferons display a strong affinity for the copper chelate of bis-carboxymethyl amino agarose, binding tenaciously over a wide pH range (7.4 to 4.0). Their binding is apparently irreversible on a sorbent saturated with copper (24.8 mumol of Cu2+/ml of column bed). However, both interferons can be partially recovered from sorbents of lower copper content, prepared by leaching the columns with sodium citrate at pH 9.0. The recovery of fibroblast interferon from a leached sorbent (5.8 mumol of Cu2+/ml of column bed) is about 30% and that of leucocyte interferon about 60%. Moreover, the strength of binding of leucocyte interferon can be modulated by leaching copper chelate-agarose with citrate of varying concentration.

Monoclonal antibodies to the human nerve growth factor receptor have been used to biochemically characterize the receptor in the human melanoma cell line A875. Labeling of A875 cell proteins by culture with [35S]cysteine or labeling of cell surface proteins with 125I followed by immunoprecipitation with anti-nerve growth factor receptor antibody reveals a receptor protein with an apparent Mr of 70,000-75,000 and an isoelectric point of 4.9-5.2. Incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into this species indicates it is a glycoprotein. The receptor becomes phosphorylated on serine residues in intact cells and in isolated membranes incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP. The receptor appears to exist, at least partially, in the form of a disulfide-linked oligomer (probably a dimer) of Mr = 75,000 subunits. Kinetic [35S]cysteine labeling studies reveal an Mr = 59,000 core protein which is glycosylated via N-linked and probably also O-linked sugar moieties to produce the mature (Mr = 70,000-75,000) receptor.

Steady state kinetics and inhibition by a dipyridodiazepinone of the reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) were studied using a heteropolymeric RNA template with a sequence from the authentic initiation site on the HIV genome. For addition of the first deoxynucleotide to primer, kcat/KM is 0.05 (nM-min)-1 and KM is 10 nM. When all 4 deoxynucleotide triphosphates are present and processive synthesis occurs, catalysis is less efficient; kcat/KM = .0077 (nM-min)-1 and KM = 100 nM for dATP. These results are consistent with a rate determining conformation change involved in translocation of the enzyme along the template. Inhibition by the dipyridodiazepinone BI-RG-587 is noncompetitive with respect to both nucleotide and template-primer; this compound decreases Vmax but does not affect KM. Thus, this inhibitor binds to a site distinct from the substrate binding sites with Ki of 220 nM. Inhibition by BI-RG-587 results in a uniform decrease in amount of products of all lengths rather than a shift from longer to shorter products, suggesting the inhibitor does not affect processivity of reverse transcriptase.

Monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor/interleukin-8 (MDNCF/IL-8) is an 8,000-dalton protein produced by monocytes which exhibits activity as a chemoattractant for neutrophils with maximal activity achieved at a concentration of 50 ng/ml. This polypeptide has been iodinated by chloramine-T methodology (350 Ci/mM), and specific receptors for MDNCF/IL-8 have been detected on human neutrophils, U937 cells, THP-1 cells, and dimethyl sulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 cells. The binding of MDNCF/IL-8 to human neutrophils is not inhibited by interleukin-1 alpha, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, insulin, or epidermal growth factor. In addition, chemoattractants such as C5a, fMet-Leu-Phe, leukotriene B4, and platelet-activating factor fail to inhibit binding, suggesting that MDNCF/IL-8 utilizes a unique receptor. The receptor for MDNCF/IL-8 is apparently glycosylated since ligand binding is inhibited by the presence of wheat germ agglutinin, a lectin with a binding specificity for N-acetylglucosamine and neuraminic acid. Steady state binding experiments indicate Kd values of 4 and 0.5 nM and receptor numbers of 75,000 and 7,400 for human neutrophils and differentiated HL-60 cells, respectively. 125I-MDNCF/IL-8 bound to human neutrophils is rapidly internalized and subsequently released from cells as trichloroacetic acid-soluble radioactivity. Affinity labeling experiments suggest that the human neutrophil MDNCF/IL-8 receptor exhibits a mass of approximately 58,000 daltons.

A novel dipyridodiazepinone, 6,11-dihydro-11-cyclopropyl-4-methyldipyrido[2,3-b:2',3'-e]- [1,4]diazepin-6-one (BI-RG-587), is a selective noncompetitive inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT-1). An azido photoaffinity analogue of BI-RG-587 was synthesized and found to irreversibly inhibit the enzyme upon UV irradiation. BI-RG-587 and close structural analogues competitively protected RT-1 from inactivation by the photoaffinity label. A thiobenzimidazolone (TIBO) derivative, a nonnucleoside inhibitor of RT-1, also protected the enzyme from photoinactivation, which suggests a common binding site for these compounds. Substrates dGTP, template-primer, and tRNA afforded no protection from enzyme inactivation. A tritiated photoaffinity probe was found to stoichiometrically and selectively label p66 such that 1 mol of probe inactivates 1 mol of RT-1.
