Phosphoramidate ProTides of 2′-C-Methylguanosine as Highly Potent Inhibitors of Hepatitis C Virus. Study of Their in Vitro and in Vivo Properties

Abstract: Hepatitis C virus infection constitutes a serious health problem in need of more effective therapies. Nucleoside analogues with improved exposure, efficacy, and selectivity are recognized as likely key components of future HCV therapy. 2'-C-Methylguanosine triphosphate has been known as a potent inhibitor of HCV RNA polymerase for some time, but the parent nucleoside is only moderately active due to poor intracellular phosphorylation. We herein report the application of phosphoramidate ProTide technology to by… Show more

“…In the case of 2Ј-C-MeG, a striking improvement in cell-based potency over that of the parent nucleoside can be achieved (Ͼ80 fold) with phosphoramidates incorporating 1-naphthyl as the aryl-leaving group (27). These prodrugs of 2Ј-C-MeG also have been shown to generate high concentrations of the active 2Ј-C-MeG triphosphate in liver tissue following oral administration in mice (24). To further improve the performance of these compounds, alterations at the C-2 and C-6 positions of the base were investigated.…”

“…For HCV genotype 2a (J6/JFH), Huh-7 cells were transfected transiently with a full-length, monocistronic HCV genome construct expressing Renilla luciferase. The inhibitory effect on HCV RNA replication using the luciferase assay and the cytotoxic effect of compounds were performed as previously described (24). For HCV genotype 1a (H77), a stable, full-length, bicistronic replicon cell line was used (3).…”

“…Previously a method for analyzing 2′-MeGTP in mouse liver was reported using a chelating reagent to stabilize the triphosphate homogenization step, which lacks sufficient detailed descriptions, and included a laborious pulverizing step on dry ice. 16) Other poorly attractive extraction procedures and LC-MS methods for quantification of different nucleotides in tissues have been developed and reported. [17][18][19][20][21][22] A limitation in the measurement of 2′-MeGTP is that it undergoes rapid ischemic degradation in collected liver tissue.…”
