RESUMO
On-line liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-HRMS) using an LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer was employed to investigate the metabolite profiles of a model siRNA duplex designated HBV263. The HBV263 duplex was incubated in rat and human serum and liver microsomes in vitro. The siRNA drug and its metabolites were then extracted using a liquid-liquid extraction followed by solid-phase extraction (LLE-SPE), and analyzed by LC/ESI-MS. High-resolution accurate mass data enabled differentiation between two possible metabolite sequences with a monoisotopic molecular mass difference of less than 1 Da. ProMass deconvolution software was used to provide semi-automated data processing. In vitro serum and liver microsome incubation samples afforded different metabolite patterns: the antisense strand of the duplex was degraded preferentially in rat and human serum, while the sense strand of the duplex was less stable in rat and human liver microsomes.

A series of potent novel dihydroxypyridopyrazine-1,6-dione HIV-1 integrase inhibitors was identified. These compounds inhibited the strand transfer process of HIV-1 integrase and viral replication in cells. Compound 6 is active against replication of HIV with a CIC(95) of 0.31 microM and exhibits no shift in potency in the presence of 50% normal human serum. It displays a good pharmacokinetic profile when dosed in rats and no covalent binding with microsomal proteins in both in vitro and in vivo models.

A series of 5-amino derivatives of 8-hydroxy[1,6]-naphthyridine-7-carboxamide exhibiting sub-micromolar potency against replication of HIV-1 in cell culture was identified. One of these analogs, compound 12, displayed excellent pharmacokinetic properties when dosed orally in rats and in monkeys. This compound was demonstrated to be efficacious against replication of simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) 89.6P in infected rhesus macaques.

Introduction of a 5,6-dihydrouracil functionality in the 5-position of N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-8-hydroxy-[1,6]naphthyridine-7-carboxamide 1 led to a series of highly active HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. These compounds displayed low nanomolar activity in inhibiting both the strand transfer process of HIV-1 integrase and viral replication in cells. Compound 11 is a 150-fold more potent antiviral agent than 1, with a CIC(95) of 40 nM in the presence of human serum. It displays good pharmacokinetics when dosed in rats and dogs.

The increasing incidence of resistance to current HIV-1 therapy underscores the need to develop antiretroviral agents with new mechanisms of action. Integrase, one of three viral enzymes essential for HIV-1 replication, presents an important yet unexploited opportunity for drug development. We describe here the identification and characterization of L-870,810, a small-molecule inhibitor of HIV-1 integrase with potent antiviral activity in cell culture and good pharmacokinetic properties. L-870,810 is an inhibitor with an 8-hydroxy-(1,6)-naphthyridine-7-carboxamide pharmacophore. The compound inhibits HIV-1 integrase-mediated strand transfer, and its antiviral activity in vitro is a direct consequence of this ascribed effect on integration. L-870,810 is mechanistically identical to previously described inhibitors from the diketo acid series; however, viruses selected for resistance to L-870,810 contain mutations (integrase residues 72, 121, and 125) that uniquely confer resistance to the naphthyridine. Conversely, mutations associated with resistance to the diketo acid do not engender naphthyridine resistance. Importantly, the mutations associated with resistance to each of these inhibitors map to distinct regions within the integrase active site. Therefore, we propose a model of the two inhibitors that is consistent with this observation and suggests specific interactions with discrete binding sites for each ligand. These studies provide a structural basis and rationale for developing integrase inhibitors with the potential for unique and nonoverlapping resistance profiles.
