Definitions

  • ARVs fall into the following major classes: fusion inhibitors (FIs), nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), protease inhibitors (PIs) and integrase inhibitors (INIs).
  • FIs fusion inhibitors
  • NRTIs nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors
  • NRTIs non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
  • PIs protease inhibitors
  • IPIs integrase inhibitors
  • Antiretroviral therapy (ART) against HIV is based on triple or quadruple combinations of ARVs 1,2 , and despite effective suppression of HIV replication to below the detection limit, upon cell stimulation or treatment interruption, latent proviruses can reinitiate viral production 3-5 .
  • Elimination of this latent reservoir is a major goal of HIV eradication strategies 6,7 ; however, approaches such as shock-and-kill have not been successful so far 8 , and significant efforts are being invested by laboratories worldwide to find a functional cure of HIV remission.
  • a functional cure entails long-term, durable control of viral expression in the absence of therapy, thus preventing disease progression and transmission, despite the presence of integrated proviruses.
  • the block-and-lock approach is based on the premise that transcriptional inhibitors may mediate epigenetic silencing of proviral expression, locking the virus in a profound state of latency, from which reactivation is very unlikely to occur upon ART interruption.
  • dCA didehydro-Cortistatin A
  • Tat mediates association between the host positive transcription elongation factor (P-TEFb) complex and the transactivation-responsive (TAR) element of the nascent viral RNA to promote transcriptional elongation from the viral promoter (FIG.1A) 16-18 .
  • P-TEFb host positive transcription elongation factor
  • TAR transactivation-responsive
  • Tat binds the 50- terminal region of HIV mRNA’s stem-bulge loop structure, the TAR element, to activate transcription. Since Tat resides under the control of the same promoter, it enhances its own transcription via a positive feedback loop.
  • Tat is a target for therapeutic intervention because 1) it is expressed early during virus replication; 2) it has no host cellular homologs; 3) Tat inhibitors block the positive transactivation feedback loop critical for viral activation; and 4) in breaking this feedback loop, epigenetic modifications accumulate at the HIV promoter, rendering reactivation less likely. Tat is also notorious for its role in neurotoxicity, blood-brain barrier disruption and neuroinflammation 19 . [0006] Thus, the development of Tat inhibitors, such as dCA, could complement antiretroviral therapy (ART) and silence virus outgrowth from HIV tissue reservoirs in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, the cost of producing large quantities of this complex molecule is a major hurdle towards advancing dCA into clinical trials 20 .

  • TT-44881, TT-44856 and TT-44863 Compounds delineated herein can be made using standard chemical synthesis procedures and reagents known to one of ordinary skill in the art and as described herein. See, FIG.11. The physicochemical properties and biological and functional activity of the compounds is assessed as described herein and using techniques known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
  • Tat is a 14 kDa protein that is synthesized from an mRNA joined from 2 coding exons (FIG.1B). The first exon encodes amino acids 1-72 and (in most strains of HIV), the second exon encodes amino acids 73-101.
  • N- terminal 86-amino acid form of Tat produced in a few laboratory-passaged virus strains is frequently used to study Tat.
  • the classic cell-based Tat transactivation assay of the HIV LTR driving luciferase was optimized as a reporter gene for HTS9 (FIG.2A).
  • the assay concept is exceptionally robust, includes all the cellular components needed for transcriptional activation, and is very well-suited for an HTS for Tat antagonists. Compared with alternative approaches, this classic assay consistently outperformed the others.
  • PL11 a clone of HeLa-CD4 cells stably expressing HIV- 1-LTR-Luciferase (termed “PL11”) with very low basal transcriptional activity was used, improving the dynamic range and sensitivity, markedly increasing the chances of identifying Tat-specific inhibitors.
  • LTR activation is triggered by transfection of a plasmid expressing HIV-1HXB3 Tat (101 a.a.) driven by the phosphoglycerate (PGK) promoter.
  • the HTS of the 579,443 compounds from multiple libraries resulted in the identification of 1024 hits (FIG.2B). These hits were counter-screened in a Tat independent transactivation assay using TNF ⁇ to activate PL11 cells, resulting in the selection of 30 hits.
  • TT-44863 (Pyridinones scaffold), TT-44881 (Pyrazole-3-Carboxamides), and TT-44856 (2,2- Diphenylacetamide scaffold) were found to be Tat specific and have reasonable scaffolds for optimization (FIG.2C).
  • Equivalent IC50 of these compounds against both Tat 86 and 101 residues was confirmed in the Tat-TAR assay (FIG.2D), thus confirming the ability to use NL4.3 virus (Tat 86 a.a) in infectivity assays.
  • Their activity was confirmed against Tat 86 a.a. from HIV clade B, C and E in the cell-based Tat-TAR assay (FIG.2E) and selected for further investigation.
  • TT-44881, TT-44863 and TT-44856 displayed an IC50 of 19.7 ⁇ 4.5 ⁇ M, 6.0 ⁇ 1.3 ⁇ M and 20.5 ⁇ 9.5 ⁇ M respectively without signs of toxicity (FIG.3A).
  • Their anti-HIV activity was further assessed in acute replication of Jurkat T cells with the NL4.3 strain (FIG.3A).
  • the ability of these small molecules to inhibit HIV was also extended to latent cell models of infection such as OM-10.1 and ACH-2 cells (FIG.3B-C).
  • OM10.1 cells contain a single integrated wild-type provirus
  • ACH-2 cells contain a single integrated provirus with a TAR mutation C37T, defective Tat-TAR feedback loop (FIG.3B).
  • OM10.1 and ACH2 cells were treated with TT-44863 and TT-44881 in the presence of the cocktail of ARVs for a 96-day period, confirming their activity on both cell lines without affecting cell viability (FIG.4A-B), and their ability to block viral reactivation was evaluated when cells were exposed to the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor SAHA at day 12 and 32.
  • HDAC histone deacetylase
  • Flag-Tat or Flag- GFP were individually transfected into HEK293T and 24 hrs later, TT-44856, TT-44863 or TT- 44881 were added to the culture, followed by Western blot 24 hrs later (dubbed “degradation assay”) (FIG.5A). Tat protein degradation was observed for all 3 lead compounds without affecting Flag-Tat mRNA levels (FIG.5B). In contrast, they did not affect GFP expression, used as control (FIG.5A-B), and as expected Triptolide nonspecifically degraded Flag-Tat (FIG.5A).
  • J-Lat A2 cells which contains the LTR-Tat-IRES-GFP construct and expresses Flag-Tat and GFP only upon stimulation with LRAs (FIG.5C). These cells were treated with TNF ⁇ (previously determined not be degraded by the three leads in FIG.2D) in the presence of TT-44856, TT- 44863 or TT-44881, followed by western blot with an anti-Flag antibody 17 hrs later. Flag- Tat and GFP (driven by Tat) were strongly reduced by all three compounds (FIG.5C). Similar results were obtained with the positive control Triptolide. Finally, the leads’ impact on recombinant Tat protein in HEK293T cells was assessed (FIG.5D).
  • HEK293T cells were incubated with recombinant Tat for 4 hrs to allow Tat internalization, followed by several thorough washes to remove unincorporated Tat. Cells were then incubated with all three leads (or Triptolide) for an additional 2 hrs. Cells were lysed and analyzed by western blot with an anti-Tat serum. The lead hits and Triptolide degraded Tat as opposed to the DMSO control, indicating a post-transcriptional mechanism of action for all three leads. TT-44881, TT-44856 and TT-44863 degrade Tat via the 26S proteasomal degradation pathway.
  • Flag-Tat degradation was then revealed by western blot with an anti-Flag antibody (FIG.6A). No relative changes in Flag-Tat degradation were observed with/without chloroquine and NH 4 Cl between DMSO and leads, suggesting that the leads’ mechanism of action does not engage the lysosomal degradation pathway.
  • Both the 20S and the 26S proteasomal pathways were next investigated using MG132, an inhibitor of the catalytic ⁇ 5 subunit of 20S present in both pathways 27. The degradation assay was carried out as above, but compounds were simultaneously incubated with MG13220 ⁇ M or DMSO for 17 hrs followed by western blot.
  • Protein ubiquitination occurs by sequential recruitment of ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2, and ubiquitin ligase E3 (using ubiquitin, substrate protein, and ATP). The selectivity in protein ubiquitination is conferred by E3 ubiquitin ligases that recognize the substrate proteins 29 and the human genome contains more than 600 E3 ubiquitin ligases 29 .
  • the Tat degradation assay was performed in the presence of commercially available E3 ligase inhibitors, including Lenalidomide a E3 ubiquitin ligase Cereblon inhibitor. Cereblon has not been previously reported to ubiquitinate Tat.
  • the degradation assays were performed as above with Lenalidomide (40 ⁇ M) or DMSO incubation for 4 hrs in the presence of the lead molecules (FIG.7A).
  • HEK293T cells overexpressing Tat protein and VHL siRNAs were treated with either TT-44881 (60 ⁇ M) and DMSO or TT-44881 with a VHL PROTAC (CM11, 500 nM) for 24 hours.
  • siRNAs and PROTACs were used together to maximize the depletion of both VHL isoforms (30 and 19kDa). Tat was no longer depleted by TT-44881 when both isoforms of VHL were depleted (Fig 7E), suggesting the involvement of VHL E3 ligase in the mechanism of action of TT-44881.
  • NRON a lncRNA expressed in HIV latently infected CD4 + T cells
  • NRON links Tat to components of ubiquitin proteasomal pathway (CUL4B and PSMD11) resulting in its ubiquitination and degradation 31 .
  • the host U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase protein CHIP was also shown to promote Tat degradation via the same pathway 32 .Cereblon has not previously been reported to have Tat as a substrate.
  • NRON, a lncRNA expressed in HIV latently infected CD4 + T cells has been previously reported to promote Tat degradation through the ubiquitin proteasomal pathway.
  • Tat lysine residues were mutated and degradation assays performed in the presence of TT-44881 or TT-44856.
  • Single Tat lysine mutations or combined mutations were also performed as shown in Fig 9A, in the presence of TT-44881 or TT-44856; however, all the mutants were similarly degraded to the control (FIG.9B-C).
  • the three lead hits showed antiviral activity in the 6.0 - 20 ⁇ M range without cytotoxicity, a reasonable starting point to develop analogs with improved antiviral activity.
  • the synthesis of all three hit analogs is considered very straight- forward (FIG.11A), with no anticipated issues in scaling-up their production.
  • Aza-indole ester A is arylated with bromobenzene and then saponified with lithium hydroxide to provide carboxylic acid intermediate B, which is converted to corresponding amide using HATU to give the desired TT-44881.
  • N-alkylation of pyridinone C with ethyl bromoacetate, followed by saponification and amide coupling with corresponding amine affords TT-44863.
  • TT-44856 has been achieved by LDA mediated alkylation of diphenyl ester E followed by hydrolysis and amide formation using HATU and corresponding amine.
  • Derivatization at various sites on each scaffold allows for structural diversity and the development of novel small molecule inhibitors with improved activity and drug-like properties (FIG.11B).
  • TT-44863 (described in FIG.8A) implied that the trifluoromethyl and the methoxyethyl groups on the right-hand side of TT-44863 are amenable to modifications such that reducing the length of the ether linker in analog TT- 46600 increased its potency by ⁇ 5 fold in HeLa-CD4 cell NL4.3 infection assays (FIG.11C). However, reducing the length of the ether linker and replacing the trifluoromethyl on the right-hand side with Cl, decreased the potency of TT-44863 by ⁇ 5 fold (TT-46603), suggesting the importance of the CF 3 in the interaction with Tat (FIG.11C). A series of approximately 60 analogs are being synthesized for each of the hits.
  • TT-44863, TT-44881 and TT-44856 displayed good drug like properties and provided a starting point to develop analogs with improved antiviral activity. These compounds engage Cereblon to recognize Tat as a substrate and promote ubiquitination followed by proteasomal degradation. Their activity involves Tat Y26 residue in the cysteine rich region of Tat. Tat degradation by these molecules inhibits HIV acute infection without affecting cellular transcription and block HIV reactivation from different HIV latency models. These PROTAC type molecules may act via promotion of transient and reversible association with Tat and Cereblon.
  • one single molecule may induce degradation of more proteins sequentially, leading to sub- affinity equilibrium protein knockdown.
  • these types of molecules likely ensure longer efficacy time than small inhibitors since restoration of protein function requires protein resynthesis, reducing the need for high affinity target binding or long drug exposure.
  • these do not require binding to catalytic site, or active site, since they mediate degradation by binding alternative non catalytic sites.
  • targets defined as undruggable by occupancy- based ligands can be detected and degraded. Resistance to these types of drugs may also be less prominent given their ability to make transient interactions to induce a functional knock down of their target.
  • other resistance mechanisms such as genomic differences in the ubiquitin- proteasome system may affect activity.
