Amide compounds as boosters of antivirals
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to compounds that have CYP450 inhibiting properties and are therefore useful as boosters of certain drugs, i.e. they are able to increase at least one of the pharmacokinetic variables of certain drugs when co-administered. The invention further provides the use of said compounds as improvers of the bioavailability of certain drugs. Methods for the preparation of the compounds of the invention and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
1. A compound of the formula
the salts and stereoisomeric forms thereof, wherein
R is H, phenyl, pyridyl, C 1-6 alkyl or
wherein A and B are independently from each other H; C 1-6 alkyl optionally substituted with alkynyl, heteroaryl or a heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur which is optionally substituted with C 1-6 alkyl; or wherein A and B together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a 5 or 6 membered saturated, partially or completely unsaturated heterocyclic ring containing 1 to 4 hetero atoms each independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, said heteroatoms are optionally substituted with C 1-6 alkyl;
R 1 is selected from the group comprising
R 2 is C 1-6 alkyl optionally substituted with OH, aminoalkyl, pyrrolidinyl, morpholinyl, alkynyl or C 3-7 cycloalkyl optionally substituted with halogen;
R 3 is OH;
R 4 is H or alkyl;
R 5 is pyridyl or phenyl optionally substituted with halogen;
X is O, S or N optionally substituted with C 1-6 alkyl.

8. The combination according to claim 7 wherein the compound is thiazol-5-ylmethyl (2S,3R)-4-(2-(ethyl(methyl)amino)-N-isobutylbenzo[d]oxazole-6-carboxamido)-3-hydroxy-1-phenylbutan-2-ylcarbamate and the HIV inhibitor is a compound with the chemical name (1-benzyl-3-{[2-(1-cyclopentyl-piperidin-4-ylamino)-benzothiazole-6-sulfonyl]-isobutyl-amino}-2-hydroxy-propyl)-carbamic acid hexahydro-furo[2,3-b]furan-3-yl ester.
9. The combination according to claim 5 wherein the amount of any of the compounds of formula (I)-(IV), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is sufficient to clinically improve the bioavailability of the HIV inhibitor relative to the bioavailability when said HIV inhibitor is administered alone.
10. The combination according to claim 5 wherein the amount of any of the compounds of formula (I)-(IV), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is sufficient to increase at least one of the pharmacokinetic variables of the HIV inhibitor selected from t 1/2 , C min , C max , C ss , AUC at 12 hours, or AUC at 24 hours, relative to said at least one pharmacokinetic variable when the HIV inhibitor is administered alone.
11. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination according to claim 5 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
12. A product containing a compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 , and an HIV inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in HIV therapy.
