  • retrovirus replication is the insertion by virally-encoded integrase of +proviral DNA into the host cell genome, a required step in HIV replication in human T-lymphoid and monocytoid cells.
  • Integration is believed to be mediated by integrase in three steps: assembly of a stable nucleoprotein complex with viral DNA sequences; cleavage of two nucleotides from the 3′ termini of the linear proviral DNA; covalent joining of the recessed 3′ OH termini of the proviral DNA at a staggered cut made at the host target site.
  • the fourth step in the process, repair synthesis of the resultant gap may be accomplished by cellular enzymes.
  • Nucleotide sequencing of HIV shows the presence of a pol gene in one open reading frame [Ratner, L. et al., Nature, 313, 277 (1985)] Amino acid sequence homology provides evidence that the pol sequence encodes reverse transcriptase, integrase and an HIV protease [Toh, H. et al., EMBO J. 4, 1267 (1985); Power, M. D. et al., Science, 231, 1567 (1986); Pearl, L. H. et al., Nature, 329, 351 (1987)]. All three enzymes have been shown to be essential for the replication of HIV.

    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is directed to tricyclic analogs of hydroxy polyhydro-2,6-naphthyridine dione compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, their synthesis, and their use as inhibitors of the HIV integrase enzyme. The compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of the present invention are useful for preventing or treating infection by HIV and for preventing or treating or delaying the onset of AIDS.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • A retrovirus designated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), particularly the strains known as HIV type-1 (HIV-1) virus and type-2 (HIV-2) virus, is the etiological agent of the complex disease that includes progressive destruction of the immune system (acquired immune deficiency syndrome; AIDS) and degeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system. This virus was previously known as LAV, HTLV-III, or ARV. A common feature of retrovirus replication is the insertion by virally-encoded integrase of +proviral DNA into the host cell genome, a required step in HIV replication in human T-lymphoid and monocytoid cells. Integration is believed to be mediated by integrase in three steps: assembly of a stable nucleoprotein complex with viral DNA sequences; cleavage of two nucleotides from the 3′ termini of the linear proviral DNA; covalent joining of the recessed 3′ OH termini of the proviral DNA at a staggered cut made at the host target site. The fourth step in the process, repair synthesis of the resultant gap, may be accomplished by cellular enzymes.
  • Nucleotide sequencing of HIV shows the presence of a pol gene in one open reading frame [Ratner, L. et al., Nature, 313, 277 (1985)] Amino acid sequence homology provides evidence that the pol sequence encodes reverse transcriptase, integrase and an HIV protease [Toh, H. et al., EMBO J. 4, 1267 (1985); Power, M. D. et al., Science, 231, 1567 (1986); Pearl, L. H. et al., Nature, 329, 351 (1987)]. All three enzymes have been shown to be essential for the replication of HIV.
  • It is known that some antiviral compounds which act as inhibitors of HIV replication are effective agents in the treatment of AIDS and similar diseases, including reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as azidothymidine (AZT) and efavirenz and protease inhibitors such as indinavir and nelfinavir. The compounds of this invention are inhibitors of HIV integrase and inhibitors of HIV replication. The inhibition of integrase in vitro and HIV replication in cells is a direct result of inhibiting the strand transfer reaction catalyzed by the recombinant integrase in vitro in HIV infected cells. The particular advantage of the present invention is highly specific inhibition of HIV integrase and HIV replication.

  • The present invention also includes prodrugs of the compounds of Formula I. The term “prodrug” refers to a derivative of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is converted in vivo into Compound I. Prodrugs of compounds of Formula I can exhibit enhanced solubility, absorption, and/or lipophilicity compared to the compounds per se, thereby resulting in increased bioavailability and efficacy. The in vivo conversion of the prodrug can be the result of an enzyme-catalyzed chemical reaction, a metabolic chemical reaction, and/or a spontaneous chemical reaction (e.g., solvolysis). The prodrug can be, for example, a derivative of a hydroxy group such as an ester (—OC(O)R), a carbonate ester (—OC(O)OR), a phosphate ester (—O—P(═O)(OH)2), or an ether (—OR). Other examples include the following: When the compound of Formula I contains a carboxylic acid group, the prodrug can be an ester or an amide, and when the compound of Formula I contains a primary amino group, the prodrug can be an amide, carbamate, imine, or a Mannich base. One or more functional groups in Compound I can be derivatized to provide a prodrug thereof. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs, edited by H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985; C. S. Larsen and J. Ostergaard, “Design and application of prodrugs” in: Textbook of Drug Design and Discovery, 3rd edition, edited by C. S. Larsen, 2002, pp. 410-458; and Beaumont et al., Current Drug Metabolism 2003, vol. 4, pp. 461-458; the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. Prodrugs of compounds of Formula I can also be selected and prepared by application of the descriptions in WO 2005/070901 and WO 2005/117904, both herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.

  • The term “halogen” (or “halo”) refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine (alternatively referred to as fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo).
  • The term “haloalkyl” refers to an alkyl group as defined above in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced with a halogen (i.e., F, Cl, Br and/or I). Thus, for example, “C1-6 haloalkyl” (or “C1-C6 haloalkyl”) refers to a C1 to C6 linear or branched alkyl group as defined above with one or more halogen substituents. The term “fluoroalkyl” has an analogous meaning except that the halogen substituents are restricted to fluoro. Suitable fluoroalkyls include the series (CH2)0-4CF3 (i.e., trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 3,3,3-trifluoro-n-propyl, etc.).
  • Unless expressly stated to the contrary, all ranges cited herein are inclusive. For example, a heterocyclic ring described as containing from “1 to 4 heteroatoms” means the ring can contain 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms. It is also to be understood that any range cited herein includes within its scope all of the sub-ranges within that range. Thus, for example, a heterocyclic ring described as containing from “1 to 4 heteroatoms” is intended to include as aspects thereof, heterocyclic rings containing 2 to 4 heteroatoms, 3 or 4 heteroatoms, 1 to 3 heteroatoms, 2 or 3 heteroatoms, 1 or 2 heteroatoms, 1 heteroatom, 2 heteroatoms, and so forth. As another example, an aryl or heteroaryl described as optionally substituted with “from 1 to 5 substituents” is intended to include as aspects thereof, an aryl or heteroaryl optionally substituted with 1 to 4 substituents, 1 to 3 substituents, 1 to 2 substituents, 2 to 5 substituents, 2 to 4 substituents, 2 to 3 substituents, 3 to 5 substituents, 3 to 4 substituents, 1 substituent, 2 substituents, 3 substituents, 4 substituents, and 5 substituents.
  • When any variable (e.g., RA, RB, or AryD) occurs more than one time in any constituent or in Formula I or in any other formula depicting and describing compounds of the invention, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
  • It is understood that the right side of a group Y is attached to RK and the left side of a group Y is attached to the rest of the molecule. Thus, for example, for Y═C1-6 alkylene-C(O) (e.g., (CH2)1-2—C(O)), RK is attached to the carbonyl; i.e., C1-6 alkylene-C(O)—RK (e.g., (CH2)1-2—C(O)—RK). Similarly, it is understood that the right side of a group Z is attached to RL and the left side of a group Z is attached to ring A. Thus, for example, for Z═C1-6 alkylene-C(O) (e.g., (CH2)1-2—C(O)), RL is attached to the carbonyl; i.e., C1-6 alkylene-C(O)—RL (e.g., (CH2)1-2—C(O)_RL).
  • The term “substituted” (e.g., as in “is optionally substituted with from 1 to 5 substituents . . . ”) includes mono- and poly-substitution by a named substituent to the extent such single and multiple substitution (including multiple substitution at the same site) is chemically allowed. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, substitution by a named substituent is permitted on any atom in a ring (e.g., aryl, a heteroaromatic ring, or a saturated heterocyclic ring) provided such ring substitution is chemically allowed and results in a stable compound.
  • Any of the various carbocyclic and heterocyclic rings and ring systems defined herein may be attached to the rest of the compound at any ring atom (i.e., any carbon atom or any heteroatom) provided that a stable compound results.
  • A “stable” compound is a compound which can be prepared and isolated and whose structure and properties remain or can be caused to remain essentially unchanged for a period of time sufficient to allow use of the compound for the purposes described herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a subject).
  • As a result of the selection of substituents and substituent patterns, certain of the compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers and can occur as mixtures of stereoisomers, or as individual diastereomers or enantiomers. All isomeric forms of these compounds, whether isolated or in mixtures, are within the scope of the present invention.
  • As would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art, certain of the compounds of the present invention can exist as tautomers. All tautomeric forms of these compounds, whether isolated or in mixtures, are within the scope of the present invention.
  • In instances where a hydroxy (—OH) substituent is permitted on a heteroaromatic ring and keto-enol tautomerism is possible, it is understood that the substituent might in fact be present, in whole or in part, in the keto form, as exemplified here for a hydroxypyridinyl substituent:
  • Figure US20130178468A1-20130711-C00013
  • Compounds of the present invention having a hydroxy substituent on a carbon atom of a heteroaromatic ring are understood to include compounds in which only the hydroxy is present, compounds in which only the tautomeric keto form (i.e., an oxo substitutent) is present, and compounds in which the keto and enol forms are both present.
  • Certain of the compounds of the present invention can exhibit a chirality resulting from the presence of bulky substituents that hinder the otherwise free rotation about a bond. These rotational enantiomers are named atropisomers, and the interconversion can be sufficiently slow to allow for their separation and characterization. See, e.g., J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1992, pp. 101-102; and Ahmed et al., Tetrahedron 1998, 13277. For example, certain of the compounds of the present invention as exemplified with structures A and B below in which there could be sufficient hindrance to rotation along the bond indicated with an arrow to permit separation of the enantiomers using, e.g., column chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. The present invention includes atropisomers of compounds embraced by Formula I, singly and in mixtures.

  • The compounds of the present inventions are useful in the inhibition of HIV integrase (e.g., HIV-1 integrase), the prophylaxis or treatment of infection by HIV and the prophylaxis, treatment or the delay in the onset of consequent pathological conditions such as AIDS. The prophylaxis of AIDS, treating AIDS, delaying the onset of AIDS, the prophylaxis of infection by HIV, or treating infection by HIV is defined as including, but not limited to, treatment of a wide range of states of HIV infection: AIDS, ARC (AIDS related complex), both symptomatic and asymptomatic, and actual or potential exposure to HIV. For example, the compounds of this invention are useful in treating infection by HIV after suspected past exposure to HIV by such means as blood transfusion, exchange of body fluids, bites, accidental needle stick, or exposure to patient blood during surgery.
  • The compounds of this invention are useful in the preparation and execution of screening assays for antiviral compounds. For example, the compounds of this invention are useful for isolating enzyme mutants, which are excellent screening tools for more powerful antiviral compounds. Furthermore, the compounds of this invention are useful in establishing or determining the binding site of other antivirals to HIV integrase, e.g., by competitive inhibition. Thus the compounds of this invention can be commercial products to be sold for these purposes.
  • The compounds of the present invention can be administered in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt which possesses the effectiveness of the parent compound and which is not biologically or otherwise undesirable (e.g., is neither toxic nor otherwise deleterious to the recipient thereof). Suitable salts include acid addition salts which may, for example, be formed by mixing a solution of the compound of the present invention with a solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, or benzoic acid. Certain compounds of the invention carry an acidic moiety, in which case suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can include alkali metal salts (e.g., sodium or potassium salts), alkaline earth metal salts (e.g., calcium or magnesium salts), and salts formed with suitable organic ligands such as quaternary ammonium salts. Also, in the case of an acid (—COOH) or alcohol group being present, pharmaceutically acceptable esters can be employed to modify the solubility or hydrolysis characteristics of the compound.
  • The term “administration” and variants thereof (e.g., “administered” or “administering”) in reference to a compound of the invention mean providing the compound or a prodrug of the compound to the individual in need of treatment or prophylaxis. When a compound of the invention or a prodrug thereof is provided in combination with one or more other active agents (e.g., antiviral agents useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of HIV infection or AIDS), “administration” and its variants are each understood to include provision of the compound or prodrug and other agents at the same time or at different times. When the agents of a combination are administered at the same time, they can be administered together in a single composition or they can be administered separately.
  • As used herein, the term “composition” is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combining the specified ingredients.
  • By “pharmaceutically acceptable” is meant that the ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition must be compatible with each other and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
  • The term “subject” (or, alternatively, “patient”) as used herein refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human, who has been the object of treatment, observation or experiment.
  • The term “effective amount” as used herein means that amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. In one embodiment, the effective amount is a “therapeutically effective amount” for the alleviation of the symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. In another embodiment, the effective amount is a “prophylactically effective amount” for prophylaxis of the symptoms of the disease or condition being prevented. The term also includes herein the amount of active compound sufficient to inhibit HIV integrase and thereby elicit the response being sought (i.e., an “inhibition effective amount”). When the active compound (i.e., active ingredient) is administered as the salt, references to the amount of active ingredient are to the free acid or free base form of the compound.
  • For the purpose of the inhibition of HIV integrase, the prophylaxis or treatment of HIV infection, or the prophylaxis or treatment or delay in the onset of AIDS, the compounds of the present invention, optionally in the form of a salt, can be administered by any means that produces contact of the active agent with the agent's site of action. They can be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic agents or in a combination of therapeutic agents. They can be administered alone, but typically are administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. The compounds of the invention can, for example, be administered orally, parenterally (including subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection or infusion techniques), by inhalation spray, or rectally, in the form of a unit dosage of a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of the compound and conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. Liquid preparations suitable for oral administration (e.g., suspensions, syrups, elixirs and the like) can be prepared according to techniques known in the art and can employ any of the usual media such as water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like. Solid preparations suitable for oral administration (e.g., powders, pills, capsules and tablets) can be prepared according to techniques known in the art and can employ such solid excipients as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like. Parenteral compositions can be prepared according to techniques known in the art and typically employ sterile water as a carrier and optionally other ingredients, such as a solubility aid. Injectable solutions can be prepared according to methods known in the art wherein the carrier comprises a saline solution, a glucose solution or a solution containing a mixture of saline and glucose.

R. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Co., 1990 and in Remington—The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005.
  • The compounds of this invention can be administered orally in a dosage range of about 0.001 to about 1000 mg/kg of mammal (e.g., human) body weight per day in a single dose or in divided doses. One preferred dosage range is about 0.01 to about 500 mg/kg body weight per day orally in a single dose or in divided doses. Another preferred dosage range is about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg body weight per day orally in single or divided doses. For oral administration, the compositions can be provided in the form of tablets or capsules containing about 1.0 to about 500 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. The specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular patient may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity of the particular condition, and the host undergoing therapy.
  • As noted above, the present invention is also directed to use of the HIV integrase inhibitor compounds of the present invention with one or more anti-HIV agents useful in the treatment of HIV infection or AIDS. An “anti-HIV agent” is any agent which is directly or indirectly effective in the inhibition of HIV integrase or another enzyme required for HIV replication or infection, the treatment or prophylaxis of HIV infection, and/or the treatment, prophylaxis or delay in the onset of AIDS. It is understood that an anti-HIV agent is effective in treating, preventing, or delaying the onset of HIV infection or AIDS and/or diseases or conditions arising therefrom or associated therewith. For example, the compounds of this invention may be effectively administered, whether at periods of pre-exposure and/or post-exposure, in combination with effective amounts of one or more HIV antivirals, immunomodulators, antiinfectives, or vaccines useful for treating HIV infection or AIDS, such as those disclosed in Table 1 of WO 01/38332 or in the Table in WO 02/30930. Suitable HIV antivirals for use in combination with the compounds of the present invention include, for example, HIV protease inhibitors (e.g., indinavir, atazanavir, lopinavir optionally with ritonavir, saquinavir, or nelfinavir), nucleoside HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., abacavir, lamivudine (3TC), zidovudine (AZT), or tenofovir), and non-nucleoside HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., efavirenz or nevirapine). It will be understood that the scope of combinations of the compounds of this invention with HIV antivirals, immunomodulators, anti-infectives or vaccines is not limited to the foregoing substances or to the list in the above-referenced Tables in WO 01/38332 and WO 02/30930, but includes in principle any combination with any pharmaceutical composition useful for the treatment of HIV infection or AIDS. The HIV antivirals and other agents will typically be employed in these combinations in their conventional dosage ranges and regimens as reported in the art, including, for example, the dosages described in the Physicians' Desk Reference, 58th edition, Thomson PDR, 2004, or the 59th edition thereof, 2005. The dosage ranges for a compound of the invention in these combinations are the same as those set forth above. It is understood that pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention and/or the other agents (e.g., indinavir sulfate) can be used as well.

  • The compounds of the present invention can be readily prepared according to the following reaction schemes and examples, or modifications thereof, using readily available starting materials, reagents and conventional synthesis procedures. In these reactions, it is also possible to make use of variants which are themselves known to those of ordinary skill in this art, but are not mentioned in greater detail. Furthermore, other methods for preparing compounds of the invention will be readily apparent to the person of ordinary skill in the art in light of the following reaction schemes and examples. Unless otherwise indicated, all variables are as defined above.
  • Scheme 1 depicts a method for preparing 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,6-naphthyridine-1-carboxylate intermediates useful for making compounds of the present invention. In Part A of the scheme, lactam 1-1 can be alkylated with an appropriate alkyl halide in the presence of a deprotonating agent (e.g., NaH, NaHMDS, or LHMDS) to give 1-2, using methods as described in Jerry March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1985, pp. 377-379. Piperidin-2-one 1-2 can be converted to the corresponding dihydropyridinone compound I-5 following the two step procedure set forth in Meyers et al., Tet. Lett. 1995, 36: 7051-7054, wherein the lactam can be treated with base (e.g., LHMDS, LDA or Na HMDS) and methyl benzene sulfinate to give intermediate 1-4, which can then be treated by heating in a high boiling solvent (e.g., toluene or xylenes) and optionally in the presence of base (e.g., Na2CO3 or K2CO3) to effect the elimination to 1-5. Separately, as shown in Part B of Scheme 1, oxazoles of the type 1-9 can readily be prepared by acylating amino acid ester 1-6 with an oxalate ester 1-7 in the presence of base (e.g., tertiary amines such as TEA, DIPEA, or pyridine) to afford acylated compound 1-8, which can then be cyclized and dehydrated (using a dehydrating agent such as P2O5) in the manner described in Krapcho et al. J. Heterocyclic Chem. 1995, 32, 1693-1702 to afford oxazole 1-9. Diels-Alder reaction of 1-9 and 1-5, optionally in the presence of water or an acid (e.g., AcOH or TFA) (preferably in the presence of water as described in “Catalysis of Diels-Alder Reactions in Water and in Hydrogen-Bonding Environments”, Wittkopp, A. & Schreiner, P. R. in: Chemistry of Dienes and Polyenes, 2000, Vol. 2, John Wiley & Sons, pp. 1029-1088), will then provide the desired napthyridine intermediate 1-10.

Org. Chem. 1998, 1740 and Caron et al., Tet. Letters 2000, 2299 and references cited therein to obtain N-oxide 2-1, which can then be treated as described in Suzuki et al., J. Med. Chem. 1992, 35, 4045-4053 with acetic anhydride to effect the rearrangement to the O-acylated intermediate, and then treated with a nucleophile (e.g., an alkoxide such as NaOMe) to afford the desired dioxohexahydro-2,6-naphthyridine-1-carboxylate 2-2. In the preparation of compounds of the present invention that require the protection of phenolic hydroxyl group on 2-2, the intermediate 1-10 can be treated with trimethylsilyldiazomethane to provide the O-methyl ether selectively. Chemical transformations similar to those described in the conversion of 1-10 to 2-2 provided 2-5, which can be deprotected to give the desired phenol.

Treatment of halide 3-1 with a primary amine in the presence or absence of an iodide catalyst such as potassium iodide or tetra-n-butylammonium iodide provided the aminoester intermediate 3-2. Base catalyzed hydrolysis of the amino-ester 3-2 provided the corresponding aminoacid which was treated with an amide coupling reagent such as EDC or BOP to provide the tricyclic napthyridine products 3-3. The RY substituent on 3-3 can be removed under appropriate conditions to provide products 3-4.

Selective hydrolysis provides the naphthyridine carboxylic acid 6-2, which can be converted to the corresponding tert-butyl carbamate 6-3 via a Curtius rearrangement in the manner described in J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1992, p. 1091 (e.g., acid 6-2 can be treated with diphenylphosphoryl azide in the presence of anhydrous tert-butanol to afford carbamate 6-3). Carbamate 6-3 can then be treated with acid (e.g., HCl or TFA) in a manner similar to the conditions described in T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1999, to provide the tricyclic naphthyridine derivative 6-4. Treatment of 6-4 with a suitable alkylating agent (e.g., an alkyl halide, an alkyl bromoacetate, or a benzyloxyalkyl halide) in the presence of base (e.g., NaH, NaHMDS, LHMDS, or LDA) affords product 6-5. Further conventional functional group interconversion on the R″ side chain can provide additional compounds of the present invention.

Sequential treatment of 7-1 with alkyl or aryl sulfonic anhydride (e.g., methanesulfonic anhydride) followed by a suitable base (e.g., cesium carbonate) provides the tricyclic naphthyridine derivative 7-2. Further standard functional group interconversion on the side chains Ra to Rg and removal of the methyl ether protecting group provided the targeted inhibitors 7-3.

Osmium tetroxide-catalyzed dihydroxylation of the terminal olefin (VanRheenen et. al. Tet. Lett. 1973, 1976) followed by intramolecular cyclization provides the intermediate oxazinonaphthyridine 8-2. Deprotection of the methyl ether protecting group on 8-2 provides the target compound 8-3.

  • In the methods for preparing compounds of the present invention set forth in the foregoing schemes, functional groups in various moieties and substituents (in addition to those already explicitly noted in the foregoing schemes) may be sensitive or reactive under the reaction conditions employed and/or in the presence of the reagents employed. Such sensitivity/reactivity can interfere with the progress of the desired reaction to reduce the yield of the desired product, or possibly even preclude its formation. Accordingly, it may be necessary or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. Protection can be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J. F. W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973 and in T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 3rd edition, 1999, and 2nd edition, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known in the art. Alternatively the interfering group can be introduced into the molecule subsequent to the reaction step of concern.
