Metabolism and in vitro antiretroviral activities of bis(pivaloyloxymethyl) prodrugs of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates.

چکیده
Bis(pivaloyloxymethyl) [bis(pom)] derivatives of various acyclic nucleoside phosphonates--9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA), 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine (PMPA), and 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)diaminopurine (PMPDAP)--were found to exhibit 9- to 23-fold greater antiviral activity than their corresponding unmodified compounds. The cytotoxicity of the bis(pom) analogs was also increased by various degrees, thus altering the therapeutic indexes of these compounds. Metabolic studies using [3H]bis(pom)PMEA and [3H]PMEA as model compounds suggested a > 100-fold increase in the cellular uptake of the bis(pom) derivative and formation of active diphosphorylated metabolite. However, the bis(pom) derivatives were chemically unstable and highly susceptible to serum-mediated hydrolysis, factors which limit their potential utility for intracellular drug delivery.

Biological effectiveness of antiviral acyclic nucleoside phosphonate adefo vir, 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethy]ade nine (PMEA) and its more lipophilic (bis)pivaloyloxymethyl ester prodrug adefovir dipivoxil (bis-POM-PMEA) were compared under in vitro conditions in mammalian cell systems. Proliferation of murine splenocytes was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner, the bis-POM-PMEA being m...

Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) often suffer from herpesvirus infections as a result of immunosuppression. These infections can occur while patients are receiving antiretroviral therapy, and additional drugs required to treat their infection can adversely affect compliance. It would be useful to have antivirals with a broader spectrum of activity that included both HIV...

9-R-2-Phosphonomethoxypropyl adenine (PMPA) is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate analog that has demonstrated efficacy against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We recently described the synthesis, metabolism, and biological activities of bis(isopropyloxymethylcarbonyl)PMPA [bis(poc)PMPA] as an orally bioavailable prodrug for PMPA. Among a large panel of drug-resistant HIV type 1 variants, on...

In the event of a bioterrorism attack using smallpox virus, there currently is no approved drug for the treatment of infections with this virus. We have reported previously that (S)-1-[3-hydroxy-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]cytosine (HPMPC) (also known as cidofovir [CDV]) has good activity against poxvirus infections; however, a major limitation is the requirement for intravenous administration. ...

Three acyclic nucleoside phosphonates are currently approved for clinical use against infections caused by cytomegalovirus (Vistide), hepatitis B virus (Hepsera), and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (Viread). This important antiviral class inhibits viral polymerases after cellular uptake and conversion to their diphosphates, bypassing the first phosphorylation, which is required for convent...
