Abstract

The present invention discloses compounds of Formula (Ia), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, thereof: which inhibit coronavirus replication activity. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (Ia) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and methods of treating or preventing a coronavirus infection in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (Ia) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

7) Optionally substituted aryl;

8) Optionally substituted arylalkyl;

9) Optionally substituted heteroaryl; and

10) Optionally substituted heteroarylalkyl;

alternatively, R 1 and R 2 are taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached to form an optionally substituted 3- to 8-membered carbocyclic ring or an optionally substituted 3- to 8-membered heterocyclic ring;

R 3 is hydrogen or optionally substituted —C 1 -C 6 alkyl;

R 4 is hydrogen, optionally substituted —C 1 -C 4 alkyl, optionally substituted —C 2 -C 4 alkenyl, or optionally substituted —C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl;

R 11 and R 12 are each independently selected from:

1) Optionally substituted —C 1 -C 8 alkyl;

2) Optionally substituted —C 2 -C 8 alkenyl;

3) Optionally substituted —C 2 -C 8 alkynyl;

4) Optionally substituted —C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl;

5) Optionally substituted 3- to 8-membered heterocycloalkyl;

6) Optionally substituted aryl;

7) Optionally substituted arylalkyl;

8) Optionally substituted heteroaryl; and

9) Optionally substituted heteroarylalkyl;

R 13 and R 14 each independently selected from:

1) Hydrogen;

2) Optionally substituted —C 1 -C 8 alkyl;

3) Optionally substituted —C 2 -C 8 alkenyl;

9) Optionally substituted heteroaryl; and

10) Optionally substituted heteroarylalkyl;

alternatively, R 13 and R 14 are taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached to form an optionally substituted 3- to 8-membered heterocyclic ring;
