The present in~rention relates to retroviral protease
10: inhibitor compoundsr pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and
~a method ~of t:reating retro~iral diseases therewith, including
: :a method of treating disease states assoc:iated with hu~an
immunode:~iciency virus ~HIV-l, HIV-2).
Retroviru~es, that is, viruses within:the family of
: 15~ Retroviridae, are a class o~ viruses which transport their
: genetic material as ribonucleic acid rather ~han
deoxy~ibonucleic:acid. Also known as RNA-tumor ~iru~es,
their presence has been associated with a wide range of
~:: ` diseases in humansiand animals. They are believed to be the
20 causative agents in pathological states associated with
t infection by ~ous sarcoma ~irus (~SV~, murine leukemia virus
(M1V), mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), feline leukemia
virus (FeLV~, bovine leukemia virus ~BLV), Mason~P~izer
monkey virus (MPMV), simian sarcoma virus ~SSV), simian
s acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (SAIDS), human T-
lymphotropic virus ~HT1V~ II) and human immunodeficiency
;~ : virus (HIV-l, HIV-2), which is the etiologic agent of AIDS

tacquired immunodeficiency syndrome)and AIDS related
complexes, and many others. Although the pathogens ha~e, in
many of these cases, been isolated, no effective method for
treating this type of infection has been developed.
Retroviral replication occurs only in host cells.
Critical t~ this replication is the production of functional
viral proteins. Protein synthesis is accomplished by
translation of the appropriate open reading frames into
polyprotein constructs, which are processed, at least in
part, by a viral protease into the functional proteins. T~e
proteolytic acti~ity proYided by the ~iral protease in
processing the polyproteins cannot be provided by the host
and is essential to the life cycle of the retrovirus. In
fact, it has been demonstrated that re~roviruses which lack
the protease or contain a mutated form of it, lack
infectivity. See Katoh et al., Virology, 145, 280-92~1985~,
: Crawford~ et al.,` J. Virol., 53, 899-907(1985) and Debouk, et
alO r Proc~ Natl. Acad. Sci . USA, 84, 8903-6tl987).
Inhibition of retroviral protease~ therefore, presents a
~ethod of therapy for retro~iral disease.
The use of isosteric replacements has been diselosed as
~ a strategy for the development o~ prvtease inhibitors for
: HI~-l. European Patent Applications EP-A 337 714, EP-A 357
332, EP-A 346~847, EP-A 342 541, EP-A 352 000, EP-A 393 445
and EP-A 434 365 are representative, and are incorporated
herein by reference. These references disclose dipeptide
analogs of the~natural polyprotein substrates of re~roviral
proteases. As discussed therein, these dipeptide analogs
: bind selectively and competitively to retroviral proteases;
Aowever, the proteas is unable to cleave the carbon-carbon
bond prèsented to it instead of the scissile amide bond of
the natural substrate. Thus, such compounds are useful for
inhibiting viral replication by inactivation of the protease.
The incorporation of heterocyclic elements in the P3' and P4 '
; 35 substrate positions of compounds containing a dipeptide
isostere has been disclosed by deSolms e~ al., J. Med. ~hem.,
34, 2852 tl991). However, these compounds can be less than
desirable for obtaining optimal drug delivery in mammalian

organisms, particularly in humans. Some of these compounds
can also have a less than desirable serum half-life, and
therefore duration of ~ction, because they contain amide
bonds in relatively high proportion, and thus are prone to
metabolic degradatîon, hepatic clearance, or other -
elimination mechanisms.
There exi~ts a need for novel compounds which inhibit
retrovixal protease activity, and a need f~r compounds which
po~sess desirable pharmacokinetic properties for good drug
delivery and metabolic stability for good serum half-life and
duration of actio~. Such pharmaceutical uses provide
therapies for retro~iral diseases in mammals, especially in
humans, which h~ve been heretofore di~ficult to treat.

Suitable protecting groups for the amino, hydroxyl,
caxboxylic acid, mercaptan group, and reagents for
deprotecting these functional groups.are disclosed in Greene
et al., PROTECTIVE GROUPS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS, Second
Edition, John Wiley~and Sons, New York, 1991. ~eprotection
indicates the removal of the protecting group and replacement
wi~h an hydrogen atom. In particular, suitably substituted
acetyl, benzyl and silyl groups are us~ful for protecting the
hydroxyl group. The acetyl group is co~monly removed by
reacting the compound with a baser such as an alkali metal
hydroxide, in a mixture of an alcohol and water. The silyl
yroup, such as ~rimethyl sily}, dimethyl-t-butyl silyl, and
t-butyl-diphenyl silyl may be removed by a fluoride reagent,
su~h ~aB a tetra-alkyl~ammonium fluoride,~or by aci~
20: hydrolysis. The benzyl group may be removed by catalytic
hydrogenation~
Suitable protecting:groups for the amino group are those
disclosed by~ Gre~ene et al., as indica~ed previously. The
benzyloxycarbonyl and t-butoxycar~onyl groups axe especially
useful amino protecting groups.
The pre6ent invention includes pharmaoeu~ically
acceptable acid addition salts. Acid addition salts of the
present compounds are prepared in a standard manner in a
suitabl~e solvent from the parent compound and an excess of an
acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric,
phosphoric~ acetic, maleic, succinic or methanesulfonic. The
acetate salt form is especially useful. If the final
compound contains an acidic qroup, cationic salts may be
prepared. Typically the parent compound is treated with an
: 35 excess of an alkaline reagent, such as a hydroxide, carbonate
~ or alkoxide, containing the appropriate cation. Cations such

pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Certain of the compounds
form inner sa~ts or zwitterions which may also be acceptahle.
The compounds of the present invention selectively bind
to retroviral proteases in the same manner as the virally
coded natural substrates of the proteases and compete with
these substrates for protease, thereby serving to inhibit
viral replication by blocking the formation of crucial viral
proteins from polyprotein precursors by the protease, and
hence, to ~nhibit disease progression in v~vo. The present
compounds achieve such beneficial therapeutic effect because
they contain unique`structural features which impart
desirable pharm~cokinetic properties to the compounds. One
such property is long duration of action. We have found that
substitu~ion of a heterocycle, especially imidazole, in the
putati~e P2' posit~on of the present compounds affords
compounds which retaln ~ood ~nzyme binding a~inity, good
antiviral activity, a~: favorable duration of action and water
solubility :Eor good~ drug: delivery.
When a compound of: the present invention is administered
~;~ to an animal infected or potentially infected with a
retrs:)virus, viral replication is inhibited and hence disease ~:
:progression is retarded. ~ asmuch as the amino acid :
se:quences of t~e ~ protease binding and peptide bond cleavage
2s sites of ~arious~retrovirus2s appear to be highly conserved,
- an inhibi~or is l~ikely to be broadly active against m~re than
one retrovirus. Also, DNA viruses which are dependant upon
virally encoded proteases, such as the hepatItis virus, may
aIso be susceptible to such treatment.
The compounds of formula (I) are used,to inhibit,
retxoviral replication, and are useful in treating mammals, ~:
. paxticularly human patients, who are infected with
: susceptible retroviruses and require such treatment. The
:
method of treating a retroviral disease in a mammal,
3s particularly a human, comprises internally administering
(e.g. orally, parenterally, buccally, trans-d~rmally,
re.ctally or by insufflation) to said mammal an effective --
amount of a compound of formula (I), preferably dispersed in

a pharmaceutical carrier. Dosage units of the active
ingredient may be selected by procedures routine to one
skilled in the art, and are generally in the range of 0.01-50
mg/kg. These dosage units may be adminis~ered one to ten
times daily for acute or chronic infection~ Preferably the
compound is administered at a level of 1-10 mg/kg, two ~o
four times daily. No unacceptable toxicological effects are
indicated when compounds of this invention are a~ministered
in ~he above noted dosage ra~e.
The present invention also provides a method of treating
disease states associated with HIV infection or Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome (~IDS~, comprising administering
an effective amount of a compound of f~rmula (I)~ preferably
dispersed in a pharmaceutical carrier.
Beneficial effects may be realized by co-administering,
indi~idually or in combinatio~, other anti-viral agents with
the protease inhibiting compounds of the present invention.
Examples of anti-viral age~ts include nucleoside analogues,
:: phosphonoformate, rifabutin, ribaviran, phosphonothioate
