USE OF 17-KETOSTEROID COMPOUNDS AND DERIVATIVES,
METABOLTTES AND PRECURSORS THEREOF IN THE TREATMENT OF
HEPATITIS C VIRUS AND OTHER T'OGAVIRUSES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to steroid compositions and methods to use them
to treat
- _ flavivirus and togavirus infections, such as human hepatitis C virus,
("HCV") infections.
The present invention is directed to the use of 17-ketosteroid compounds, as
well as
derivatives, metabolites and precursors of such compounds, and
pharmaceutically acceptable salts
of any of these compounds, collectively defined herein as the "compounds of
the present
invention", optionally together with one or more additional chemical agents
and/or treatment
methods (as described below) in the treatment of hepatitis C type virus and/or
hepatitis G type virus
in patients in need of such treatment. In addition, the present invention is
directed to methods of
treatment of togaviruses, including alphaviruses (also known as arboviruses,
group A), flaviviruses
(also known as arboviruses, group 13)(such as yellow fever, as well as
hepatitis C and hepatitis G),
rubiviruses (also known as rubella viruses)(such as rubella) and pestiviruses
(also known as
mucosal disease viruses)(such as bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV)).
There is an ongoing need for methods of treatment of hepatitis C virus, which
are safer
and/or more effective than known methods of treatment. As stated by C. Everett
Koop, former U.S.
Surgeon Gederal, "we stand at the precipice of a grave threat to our public
health... It affects people
from all walks of life, in every state, in every country. And unless we do
something about it soon, it
will kill more people than AIDS", Koop, Hepatitis C. - An Epidemic for Anyone.
As stated in
Maddrey, W.C. et al, "Beyond Monotherapy: Next Generation Therapies for
Chronic Hepatitis C",
unfortunately, the only therapy offered in the U.S. National Institutes of
Health Consensus
Development Statement on the Management of Hepatitis C, published in March,
1997, has proven
ineffective for the majority of patients-not only have a significant
proportion of patients failed to
respond to this treatment, but another sizable segment has relapsed or had
limited response.
Because not all patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection respond to
standard treatment with
interferon alfa ("IFNa"), new therapeutic strategies are needed Di Bisceglie,
A.M., "Emerging
Therapies for Chronic Hepatitis C".
Hepatitis C virus infection is extremely common, with estimates of worldwide
prevalence
of chronic hepatitis ranging from 90 million up to over 200 million (2 % to 4
%). There is no
vaccine or candidate vaccine for pre-exposure prophylaxis and no effective
globulin for post-
exposure prophylaxis.
The major liability of HCV infection is the propensity to develop chronic
hepatitis in at
least 75 % of the cases; virtually all infected patients may be chronically
infected. It is theorized
that HCV-related liver injury is directly or indirectly related to cytotoxic
Tlympho~ytes (CTL)


CA 02352205 2001-05-23
WO 00132177 PCT/US99/28082
directed at viral peptides expressed on the hepatocyte membrane. These CTL are
localized within _
the liver, are present in small numbers, and are probably only transiently
effective since the virus is
so heterogeneous and mutates at such a rapid rate. In view of this, purely
antiviral compounds, such
as nucleoside analogues or enzyme inhibitors, are likely to be virostatic but
unlikely to eliminate
infection. In addition, immune directed therapies such as antibody
preparations or cellular immune
stimulants are Likely to be transiently effective due to changes or mutations
in the virus.
- _ Chronic hepatitis C is insidiously progressive. In general, infection
progresses to chronic
hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma over a
period of decades, not months
or years.
A reliable and effective cell culture for HCV does not exist. In addition, no
nonprimate
animal model exists. As a result, few agents have been tested against HCV. It
is known that
acyclovir, ribavirin, and corticosteroids are ineffective, and that
corticosteroids increase the level of
HCV replication.
Interferons have been used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.
Interferons are natural
glycoproteins produced by cells in response to infection by viruses.
Interferons inhibit the
replication of a wide spectrum of RNA and DNA viruses, including hepatitis
viruses. This occurs
via a variety of mechanisms including inhibition of virus attachment and
uncoating, induction of
intracellular proteins and ribonucleases which convey antiviral properties to
the cell, and
amplification of both specific (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte) and nonspecific
(natural killer cell)
immune response to viral proteins. The specific mechanism of interferon
activity in chronic
hepatitis C infection is not known.
Because of its known antiviral properties and the experience with interferon
in the
treatment of other forms of viral hepatitis, interferon was evaluated as a
potential treatment for
patients with non-A, non-B hepatitis before the hepatitis C virus was even
identified. Several
reports indicate that a response during interferon therapy can be expected in
about 40 % of chronic
hepatitis C patients, and this response generally occurs quickly. HCV RNA
levels fall dramatically
and become undetectable within 4 - 8 weeks in the majority of patients who
subsequently normalize
their serum aminotransferases.
Despite the prompt antiviral and biochemical response to treatment and the
inability to
detect residual HCV in either fiver or serum in responding patients,
biochemical normalization and
absence of detectable viremia in serum is maintained in only a minority of
patients ranging from 8 -
%. Relapse characterized by a rebound in serum ALT out of the normal range
occurs in 50 - 90
of "successfully" treated patients following the discontinuation of interferon
treatment.
At least half of patients with chronic hepatitis C who are treated with
interferon fail to
35 respond. Some patients who initially appear to respond to interferon by
normalizing serum ALT
levels will demonstrate a progressive rise in the serum ALT levels despitc
continuation of
intcrferon.

CA 02352205 2001-05-23
WO 00/32177 PCT/US99/28082
A variety of factors have been examined for their relation to whether a
patient responded to
interferon, including age, gender, body mass, pre-treatment HCV-RNA level,
extent of loss of
HCV-RNA during the start of treatment, viral genotype, absence or presence of
fibrosis or cirrhosis,
dosage of interferon, serum ferritin levels and hepatic iron levels, but none
of these has been able to
predict accurately and consistently which HCV patients will respond to
interferon.
Furthermore, there are many cases where administering interferon alone for
treatment of
- _ hepatitis C appears to be detrimental to patients, and sometimes very
harmful to patients. For
example, use of interferon in patients with predominant autoimmune features
can intensify an
immune-mediated hepatocullular inflammation (see Shindo et al, "Acute
exacerbation of liver
disease during interferon alfa therapy for chronic hepatitis C"
Gastroenteroloey 1992; 102: 1406-
1408). Interferon can transform chronic viral hepatitis into an autoimmune
hepatitis (Silva et al,
"Interferon-induced chronic active hepatitis?" Gastroenterolorw 1991; 101: 840-
8-42).
Administering interferon can also induce production of a variety of
autoantibodies of uncertain
clinical significance (Mayet et al, "Treatment of chronic type B hepatitis
with recombinant alpha-
interferon induces autoantibodies, not specific for autoimmune chronic
hepatitis," Heoatoloay
1989;10:24-28), all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Interferon
causes an increase in
HLA display on membrane surfaces, impairs suppressor T cell function, enhances
autoantibody
production, stimulates natural killer cell function, affects cytokine release,
and activates
macrophages, making it capable of worsening an immune-mediated disease (Baron
et al., "The
interferons: mechanisms of action and clinical applications," JAMA 1991;
266:1375-1383, which is
incorporated herein by reference). In still other patients, such as those with
normal serum ALT
levels or decompensated disease, the advantages of therapy are unproved and
doubtful.
In addition, from studies of its use in other therapies, interferon has a
number of well-
known side effects, including fever, chills, flu like syndrome, fatigue,
anorexia, worsening in
performance status, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, leukopenia, anemia,
neurological symptoms,
psychological symptoms and dyspnea. See, e.g., Tsavaris, N. et al, "Treatment
of renal cell
carcinoma with escalating doses of alpha-interferon," Chemotherany, 1993 Sep-
Oct; 39 (5): 361-6.
In addition, interferon has been linked with the development of thyroid
disease in HCV patients.
Lisker-Melman M, et al., "Development of thyroid disease during therapy of
chronic viral hepatitis
with interferon alfa". Gastroenteroloev 1992 Jun;102(6):2155-60.
Ribavarin is a compound which is reported to have a broad spectrum of in vitro
activity
against both RNA and DNA viruses, including flaviviridae related to hepatitis
C. Pilot studies
reported reduction of both serum ALT and HCV RNA levels in patients with
chronic HCV
infection, but in a subsequent randomized controlled trial, the antiviral
effect of ribavirin alone .
could not be confirmed. Several subsequent small studies appear to demonstrate
a synergistic effect
of ribavirin and interferon in patients with hepatitis C infection, however,
the risks and side effects
of interferon monotherapy remain as important drawbacks.

CA 02352205 2001-05-23
WO 00/32177 PCT/US99/28082
Several agents or maneuvers including ursodeoxycholic acid, indomethacin,
nacetyl- ,
cysteine, silymarin, several herbal preparations and phlebotomy have been
reported to be useful
adjuncts to interferon treatment, but none of these have been consistently
shown to be effective in
controlled trials.
Hepatitis G virus (HGV; also called hepatitis GB virus C or HGBV-C) was fully
characterized in early 1996. HGV is a flavivirus and a distant relative of
HCV. At this time, HGV
' infection can be identified only through PCR testing, which indicates
current infection. Such
testing is not readily available or standardized. An antibody test for HGV is
under development
and, when available, will elucidate the epidemiology of HGV infection more
fully than HGV RNA
testing can. It appears that once antibodies are found, HGV RNA is usually no
longer present.
Transmission of HGV through blood transfusion has been documented (the only
Canadian study indicated that infection may occur in 1 in 1500 transfusion
recipients and account
for 9% of post-transfusion hepatitis), and from mother to child in the
perinatal period. There is an
increased prevalence of HGV RNA among groups with frequent exposure to blood
or blood
products (e.g., persons with hemophilia or thalassemia, patients on
hemodialysis and injection drug
users). Othcr modes of transmission (e.g., sexual) are possible but have not
been well documented.
Coinfection with HBV, HCV, or both is common and likely represents similar
modes of
transmission. In 0.3% of cases of community-acquired acute viral hepatitis,
HGV is the only
identified agent.
A nr~mber of steroid compounds and their uses have been described. See, e.g.,

include, e.g., substituted alkyl groups, substituted alkenyl groups, esters or
substituted heterocycles,
which can contain one or more reactive moieties such as hydroxyl, or thiol.

Noncyclic amid cyclic protecting groups and corresponding cleavage reactions
are described in
"Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry", Theodora W. Greene (John Wiley &
Sons, Inc., New
York, 1991, ISBN 0-471-62301-6) (hereafter "Greene"). In the context of the
present invention,
these protecting groups are groups that can be removed from the molecule of
the invention without
irreversibly changing the covalent bond structure or oxidationlreduction state
of the remainder of
the molecule. For example, the protecting group, -X, that is bonded to a -OX
or -NHX group can
be removed to form -OH or -NHz, respectively, without affecting other covalent
bonds in the
molecule. At times, when desired, more than one protecting group can be
removed at a time, or
they can be removed sequentially. In compounds of the invention containing
more than one
protecting group, the protecting groups are the same or different.
Protecting groups are intended to be removed by known procedures, although it
will be
understood that the protected intermediates fall within the scope of this
invention. The removal of
the protecting group may be arduous or straightforward, depending upon the
economics and nature
of the conversions involved. In general, one will use a protecting group with
exocyclic amines or
with carboxyl groups during synthesis of a formula I compound. Por most
therapeutic applications
amine: groups should be deprotectcd. Protccling groups commonly are employed
to protect against
covalent modification of a sensitive group in reactions such as alkylation or
acylation. Ordinarily,
protecting groups are removed by, e.g. hyd: olysis, elimination or aminolysis.
Thus, simple

functional considerations will suffice to guide the selection o: a reversible
or an irreversible
protecting group at a given locus on the invention compounds. Suitable
protecting groups and
criteria for their selection are described in T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts,
Eds. "Protective Groups
in Organic Synthesis" 2nd edition, Wiley Press, at pps. 10-142, 143-174, 175-
223, 224-276, 277-
S 308, 309-405 and 406-454, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Determination of whether a group is a protecting group is made in the
conventional
manner, e.g., as illustrated by Kocienski, Philip J.; "Protecting Groups"
(Georg Thieme Verlag
Stuttgart, New York, 1994) (hereafter "Kocienski"), Section 1.1, page 2, and
Greene Chapter 1,
pages 1-9; and U.S. patent 5763483, all of which are incorporated herein by
reference. In
particular, a group is a protecting group if when, based on mole ratio, 90% of
that protecting group
has been removed by a deprotection reaction, no more than 50%, preferably 25%,
more preferably
10%, of the deprotected product molecules of the invention have undergone
changes to their
covalent bond structure or oxidation/reduction state other than those
occasioned by the removal of
the protecting group. When multiple protecting groups of the same type are
present in the molecule,
I S the mole ratios are determined when all of the groups of that type are
removed. When multiple
protecting groups of different types are present in the molecule, each type of
protecting group is
treated (and the mole ratios are determined) independently or together with
others depending on
whether the deprotection reaction conditions pertinent to one type are also
pertinent to the other
types present. In one embodiment of the invention, a group is a protecting
group if when, based on
mole ratio detenmined by conventional techniques, 90% of that protecting group
has been removed
by a conventional deprotection reaction, no more than 50%, preferably 25%,
more preferably 10%,
of the deprotected product molecules of the invention have undergone
irreversible changes to their
covalent bond structure or oxidation/reduction state other than those
occasioned by the removal of
the protecting group. Irreversible changes require chemical reactions (beyond
those resulting from
aqueous hydrolysis, acid/base neutralization or conventional separation,
isolation or purification) to
restore the covalent bond structure or oxidation/reduction state of the
deprotected molecule of the
invention.
Protecting groups are also described in detail together with general concepts
and specific

Stereoisomers. The formula 1 and formula 2A or 2B compounds include enriched
or
resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric atoms as are apparent from
the depictions. Both
racemic and diasteromeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers
can be isolated or
synthesized so as to be substantially free of their enantiomeric or
diastereomeric partners, and these
are all within the scope of the invention. Chiral centers may be found in
invention compounds at,
for example, Rl, R2 or R4.
One or more of the following methods are used to prepare the enantiomerically
enriched or
pure isomers herein. The methods are listed in approximately their order of
preference, i.e.; one
ordinarily should employ stereospecific synthesis from chiral precursors
before chromatographic
resolution before spontaneous crystallization.
Stereospecific synthesis is described in the examples. Methods of this type
conveniently
are used when the appropriate chiral starting material is available and
reaction steps are chosen that
do not result in undesired racemization at chiral sites. One advantage of
stereospecific synthesis is
that it does not produce undesired enantiomers that must be removed from the
final product, thereby
lowering overall synthetic yield. In general, those skilled.in the art would
understand what starting
19


CA 02352205 2001-05-23
WO 00/32177 PtrT/US99/28082
materials and reaction conditions should be used to obtain the desired
enantiomerically enriched or
pure isomers by stereospecific synthesis.
If a suitable stereospecific synthesis cannot be empirically designed or
determined with
routine experimenr<ltion then those skilled in the art would turn to other
methods. One method of
general utility is chromatographic resolution of enantiomers on chiral
chromatography resins.
These resins are packed in columns, commonly called Pickle columns, and are
commercially
available. The columns contain a chiral stationary phase. The racemate is
placed in solution and
loaded onto the column, and thereafter separated by HPLC. See for example,
Proceedings
Chromatographic Society - International Symposium on Chiral Separations, Sept.
3-4, 1987, which
is incorporated herein by reference. Examples of chiral columns that could be
used to screen for the
optimal separation technique would include Diacel Chriacel OD, Regis Pickle
Covalent D-
phenylglycine, Regis Pickle Type lA, Aster Cyclobond II, Aster Cyclobond III,
Serva Chiral D-
DL=Daltosil 100, Bakerbond DNBLeu, Sumipax OA-1000, Merck Cellulose Triacetate
column,
Aster Cyclobond 1-Beta, or Regis Pickle Covalent D-Naphthylalanine. Not all of
these columns are
likely to be effective with every racemic mixture. However, those skilled in
the art understand that
a certain amount of routine screening may be required to identify the most
effective stationary
phase. When using such columns it is desirable to employ embodiments of the
compounds of this
invention in which the charges are not neutralized, e.g., where acidic
functionalities such as
carboxyl are not esterified or amidated.
An4ther method entails converting the enantiomers in the mixture to
diasteriomers with
chiral auxiliaries and then separating the conjugates by ordinary column
chromatography. This is a
very suitable method, particularly when the embodiment contains a free
hydroxyl that will form a
salt or covalent bond to a chiral auxiliary. Chirally pure amino acids,
organic acids or
organosulfonic acids are all worthwhile exploring as chiral auxiliaries, all
of which are well known
in the art. Salts with such auxiliaries can be formed, or they can be
covalently (but reversibly)
bonded to the functional group.
Enzymatic resolution is another method of potential value. In such methods one
prepares
covalent derivatives of the enantiomers in the racemic mixture, generally
lower alkyl esters, and
then exposes the derivative to enzymatic cleavage, generally hydrolysis. For
this method to be
successful an enzyme must be chosen that is capable of stereospecific
cleavage, so it is frequently
necessary to routinely screen several enzymes. If esters are to be cleaved,
then one selects a group
of esterases, phosphatases, and lipases and determines their activity on the
derivative. Typical
esterases are from liver, pancreas or other animal organs, and include porcine
liver esterase.
If the enantiomeric mixture separates from solution.or a melt as a
conglomerate, i.e., a _
mixture of enantiomerically pure crystals, then the crystals can be
mechanically separated, thereby
producing the enantiomerically enriched preparation. This method, however, is
not practical for
large-scale preparations and is of limited value for true racemic compounds.

WO 00/321?7 PCT/US99/28082
Asymmetric synthesis is another technique for achieving enantiomeric
enrichment. For
example, a chiral protecting group is reacted with the group to be protected
and the reaction mixture
allowed to equilibrate. If the reaction is enantiomerically specific then the
product will be enriched
in that enantiomer.
Further guidance in the separation of enantiomeric mixtures can be found, by
way of
example and not limitation, in "Enantiomers, Racemates, and resolutions", Jean

Emjiodiments include compositions that transiently occur when a method step or
operation
is performed. For example, when a formula 1 compound is contacted with an
excipient, e.g., water,
a cyclodextrin, a PEG, an alcohol, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol or benzyl
benzoate, the
composition before addition of one ingredient with another is a non-homogenous
mixture. As the
ingredients are contacted, the mixture's homogeneity increases and the
proportion of ingredients
relative to each other approaches a desired value. Thus, some compositions as
disclosed herein,
optionally contain less than about 3% w/w water, e.g., less than 0.5% w/w
water, can comprise
about 0.0001-99% w/w of a formula 1 compound SIICh aS 16a-hromoepiandrosterone
and one or
more excipients. These transient compositions are intermediates that
necessarily arise when one
makes an invention composition or formulation and they are included in
invention embodiments to
the extent that they are patentable.
Formula 1 compounds. The formula 1 comQounds, or the "compounds of the
invention",
are useful to treat a subject having, or prevent infection of a subject with,
one or more togaviruses.
Togaviruses, as used herein includes the Togaviridae family, including the
Alphavirus and
Rubivirus genera, as welt as the flavivirus family (Flaviviridae) and the
Flavivirus and Pestivirus
genera. A review of virus taxonomy and the biology of these viruses may be
found at, e.g., B.N.
Fields, et al., editors, Fundamental Virology, 3'd edition, 1996, Lippencott-
Raven Publishers,
chapter 1 (pages 15-58) and chapter 17 (pages 523-54J), which is incorporated

Metabolites. Aiso falling within the scope of this invention are the in vivo
metabolites of
the compounds of the invention, to the extent such products are novel and
unobvious over the prior
art. Such products may result for example from the oxidation, reduction,
hydrolysis, amidation,
esterification and the like of the administered formula 1 compound, due to
enzymatic or chemical
processes. Accordingly, the invention includes novel and unobvious compounds
produced by a
process comprising contacting a compound of this invention with a subject,
e.g., a human, rodent or
a primate, for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product
thereof. Such products
typically are identified by preparing a radiolabelled (e.g. C~4 or H3)
compound of the invention,
administering it parenterally or orally in a detectable dose (e.g. greater
than about 0.5 mg/kg) to an
animal such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, primate, or to a human, allowing
su~cient time for
metabolism to occur (typically about 30 seconds to about 30 hours) and
isolating its conversion
products from the urine, blood or other biological samples. These products are
easily isolated since
they are labeled (others are isolated by the use of antibodies capable of
binding epitopes surviving
in the metabolite). The metabolite structures are determined in conventional
fashion, e.g. by HPLC,
MS or NMR analysis. In general, analysis of metabolites is done in the same
way as conventional
drug metabolism studies well-known to those skilled in the art. The conversion
products, so long as
they are not otherwise found in vivo, are useful in diagnostic assays for
therapeutic dosing of the
compounds of the invention even if they possess no therapeutic activity of
their own.
The following description exemplifies embodiments of the formula 1 compounds.

Methods of administration and formulations. The, dosage of a formula 1, 2A or
2B
compound for a particular patient will vary depending on factors such as the
overall health of the
patient, the method, route and dose of administration and the severity of side
effects (if any).
Determination of the appropriate dose is made by the clinician using
parameters known in the art.
Generally, the -dose begins with an amount somewhat less than the optimum dose
and it is
increased by small increments thereafter until the desired or optimum effect
is achieved. The
dosage of the compounds of the invention is suitably determined depending on
the individual cases
taking symptoms, age and sex ofthe subject and the like into consideration.
With respect to the
duration of treatment, it is typical for skilled clinicians to monitor
patients in order to determine
when inhibition is providing therapeutic benefit, and to determine whether to
increase dosage,
decrease dosage, discontinue therapy, resume therapy or alter therapy.
The therapeutically effective dosage of any specific compound of the invention
will vary
somewhat from compound to compound and patient to patient. As a general
proposition, a dosage
in the range of from about 0. I to about 500 mg/kg will have therapeutic
effccacy. Typically, a
dosage in the range of from about 0.5 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg will be
employed. A daily dosage
of a formula 1 compound will typically comprise about 10 to about 750 mg,
usually about 20 to
about 400 mg, which may be administered as a single dose or as two or more
subdoses. Such doses
or subdoses may be administered at one or more sites or by one or more than
one route of
administration. The duration for the treatment is usually once per day for a
sufficient length of time
for the patient to become asymptomatic, or for symptoms to abate noticeably.
Depending upon the
severity of the infection in the individual patient, this may last several
days, weeks, or longer.

The formulation was prepared by suspending BrEA in polyethylene glycol 300,
and
sequentially adding propylene glycol, benzyl benzoate, and dehydrated ethyl
alcohol to form a
solution, which was diluted to the final desired volume with additional
propylene glycol. The
procedure is described below.
The calculated amount of polyethylene glycol 300 was added to a compounding
vessel.
Then, while mixing, the calculated amount of BrEA was added to the vessel, and
mixed for at least
5 minutes to form a smooth, creamy liquid. Propylene glycol was added to the
vessel, and mixed
for a minimum of 5 minutes to form a uniform suspension. The calculated amount
of benzyl
benzoate is added to the vessel, and mixed for approximately 5 minutes to form
a translucent liquid
suspension. Dehydrated alcohol was added to the vessel, and mixed for
approximately 5 minutes to
form a clear, colorless solution. Propylene glycol was then added to achieve
the desired final
formulation, and mixed for approximately 5 minutes. The drug solution was
transferred to a
volume-dispensing device set to deliver 1.2 mL per vial. Under nitrogen
pressure, the solution was
84

filtered through two 0.2 ~tm polyvinylidene fluoride filters in series before
dispensing into 2 cc
amber galss vials. The vials were capped with Teflon-coated, butyl-rubber
stoppers and crimp
sealed. '

Example 2. BrEA formulation 2. A formulation containing 100 mg/mL of BrEA, 10%
w/w, in benzyl benzoate (USP) 30.4% w/w, polyethylene glycol 300 (NF) 30.7%
w/w, propylene
glycol (USP), qs, about 28% w/w and benzyl alcohol (NF) 1.9% w/w, hereafter
"formulation 2",
was prepared as follows. A desired amount of BrEA ( I .0 kg) was suspended in
PEG 300 (about 3.0
L) in a compounding vessel and mixed for at least 5'minutes at room
temperature to form a smooth
creamy liquid. The needed amount of propylene glycol (about 1.5 L) was then
added and mixing
was continued for at least 5 minutes to form a uniform suspension. Benzyl
benzoate (about 3.0 L)
was then added and the vessel contents were mixed for about Sminutes to form a
translucent
suspension. Benzyl alcohol (about 200 mL) was then added and the mixing was
continued for
about 5 minutes to form a clear, colorless solution. Propylene glycol was then
added to achieve the
desired fina~'formulation volume (about 1.5 L) and mixing was continued for
about 5 minutes. The
drug solution was transferred to a volume-dispensing device, which was set to
deliver 1.2 mL per
vial (2 mL, glass, type 1 amber vials). The formulation was filtered under
nitrogen pressure (about
3 atm) through two 0.2 pm polyvinylidine fluoride filters in series. The vials
were capped using
Teflon-coated, butyl rubber stoppers and then crimp sealed essentially as
described in example 1.
The vials were stored in the dark at reduced temperature (about 2-
8°C).
Example 3. Human clinical trial. A clinical trial protocol that incorporates
about 15-20
patients is designed. For the phase I or I/II trial, the patients are mildly
infected with one or more
togaviruses, e.g., t-ICV and they are mildly to moderately symptomatic. The
patients are
administered treatment for l, 2 or 3 weeks. In 2 or more dose groups, e.g.,
25, SO or 100 mg/day of
16a-bromoepiandrosterone (BrEA), or an ester thereof, is administered
parenterally, e.g., by
intramuscular or intravenous injection, on 3, 4 or 5 days of the weeks when
dosing occurs. Dosing
is on consecutive days or on an intermittent schedule, e.g., 2, 3 or 4 doses
with one dose
administered every other day. The formulation containing BrEA is as described
herein, e.g., the
foztnulation of example 1 or 2, preferably the formulation of example 2.
During the week of
treatment and far 1, 2, 3, or more weeks thereafter, blood samples are taken
periodically for
evaluation of the infection or its symptoms, pharmacokinefics, plasma
cytokines (e.g., IL-2, IL-4,


CA 02352205 2001-05-23
WO 00132177 PCT/US99/28082
IL-10, IGFI, yIFN, GM-CSF), and intracellular cytokines (e.g., IL-2, IL-4, IL-
10, IGF1, yIFN, GM-
CSF). The patients are optionally treated again at about 2 to 12 weeks after
the initial dosing, using
the same or a similar protocol as that used in the initial dosing protocol.
