Abstract

Disclosed are methods for treating an individual infected with a retrovirus that comprise administering to the individual effective amounts of a mixed lineage kinase inhibitor and antiretroviral drug. In further aspects, disclosed are methods for treating an individual infected with a retrovirus that comprises administering an antiretroviral drug formulated into a crystalline nanoparticle comprising a surfactant, and a MLK inhibitor. Still further disclosed are methods for treating an individual infected with a retrovirus that comprises administering a composition comprising both an antiretroviral and MLK inhibitor formulated into a crystalline nanoparticle, which comprises a surfactant. Still further disclosed are compositions that comprise an antiretroviral drug, a MLK inhibitor, and a surfactant, wherein the composition is a crystalline nanoparticle. Compostions comprising MLK inhibitors with other drugs in nanoparticulate form, and methods of there use, are also disclosed.

Claims (31)

1. A method of treating an individual infected with HIV, comprising: administering to the individual a composition comprising effective amounts of both a mixed lineage kinase inhibitor and an antiretroviral drug, wherein the antiretroviral drug comprises one or more antiretroviral compounds chosen from lamivudine, ziduvudine, emtricitabine, abacavir, abacavir sulfate, zidovudine, tenofovir, didanosine, stavudine, delavirdine, efavirenz, nevirapine, etravirine, maraviroc, rilpivirine, raltegravir, atazanavir, efavirenz, indinavir, and ritonavir, in a crystalline nanoparticle; and

wherein the mixed lineage kinase inhibitor has structural Formula XIX:

wherein

X 3 is chosen from C, N, and O;

R 3 is chosen from lower cycloalkyl, phenyl, and lower heteroaryl, any of which is optionally substituted with one or more substituents chosen from halogen, hydroxy, lower amino, lower amido, lower carboxyl, C 1 -C 3 alkoxy, C 1 -C 3 alkyl, (O), (S), cyano, haloalkyl, phenyl, cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, and cycloheteroalkyl;

R 16 is chosen from lower alkyl, lower carboxyl, carbonyl, alkoxyethanone, carbamate, sulfonyl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, and heterocycloalkylcarbonyl, any of which can be optionally substituted, and when X 3 is O, R 16 is null.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nanoparticle further comprises one or more surfactants.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the nanoparticle is rod shaped with a z-average diameter from about 100 nm to 1 μm.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the surfactant comprises an amphiphilic block copolymer comprising at least one block of polyoxyethylene and at least one block of polyoxypropylene.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the surfactant is one or more of the following: poloxyamer 188, poloxamer 407, polyvinyl alcohol, 1,2-distearoyl-phosphatidyl ethanolamine-methyl-polyethyleneglycol conjugate 2000 (mPEG 2000 DSPE), sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 1,2-dioleoyloxy-3-trimethylammonium propane.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the surfactant is coupled to a targeting ligand.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the targeting ligand is folate.

8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the nanoparticle is at least about 95% by weight of the antiretroviral compound.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is chosen from benzothiazolyl, pyrrolopyridinyl, cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, phenyl, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, and indolyl, any of which is optionally substituted with one or more substituents chosen from fluorine, chlorine, hydroxy, NH 2 , NH(CH 3 ), N(CH 3 ) 2 , C(O)NH 2 , C(O)NHCH 3 , morpholino, piperazinyl, methylpiperazinyl, acetamido, methylacetamido, methylpropionamido, phenylacetamidomethylene, benzamidomethylene, phenylpropanamidomethylene, methoxy, and methyl.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is phenyl optionally substituted with one or more substituents chosen from hydroxyl, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower haloalkyl, lowerhaloalkoxy, halogen, lower amino, lower carboxyl, and cyano.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is chosen from indolyl, indazolyl, indolinonyl, benzothiophenyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, pyrrolopyrazinyl, and pyrrolopyridinyl, any of which is optionally substituted with one or more substituents chosen from hydroxy, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower haloalkyl, lowerhaloalkoxy, halogen, lower amino, and lower carboxyl.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mixed lineage kinase inhibitor is Compound AH

13. A composition, comprising: an antiretroviral drug, a mixed lineage kinase inhibitor, and a surfactant, wherein the antiretroviral drug comprises one or more antiretroviral compounds chosen from lamivudine, ziduvudine, emtricitabine, abacavir, abacavir sulfate, zidovudine, tenofovir, didanosine, stavudine, delavirdine, efavirenz, nevirapine, etravirine, maraviroc, rilpivirine, raltegravir, atazanavir, efavirenz, indinavir, and ritonavir, in a crystalline nanoparticle, and wherein the mixed lineage kinase inhibitor has structural Formula XIX:

wherein

X 3 is chosen from C, N, and 0;

R 3 is chosen from lower cycloalkyl, phenyl, and lower heteroaryl, any of which is optionally substituted with one or more substituents chosen from halogen, hydroxy, lower amino, lower amido, lower carboxyl, C 1 -C 3 alkoxy, C 1 -C 3 alkyl, (O), (S), cyano, haloalkyl, phenyl, cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, and cycloheteroalkyl;

R 16 is chosen from lower alkyl, lower carboxyl, carbonyl, alkoxyethanone, carbamate, sulfonyl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, and heterocycloalkylcarbonyl, any of which can be optionally substituted, and when X 3 is O, R 16 is null.
