(E)-(S)-4-((S)-2-{3-[(5-methyl-isoxazole-3-carbonyl)-amino]-2-oxo-2H-pyridin-1-yl}-pent-4-ynoylamino)-5-((S)-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yl)-pent-2-enoic acid ethyl ester (Compound 1) is a novel, irreversible inhibitor of human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease {inactivation rate constant (Kobs/[I]) of 223,000 M-1s-1}. In cell-based assays, Compound 1 was active against all HRV serotypes (35 of 35), HRV clinical isolates (5 of 5), and related picornaviruses (8 of 8) tested with mean 50% effective concentration (EC50) values of 50 nM (range, 14 to 122 nM), 77 nM (range, 72 to 89 nM), and 75 nM (range, 7 to 249 nM), respectively. Compound 1 inhibited HRV 3C-mediated polyprotein processing in infected cells in a concentration-dependent manner, providing direct confirmation that the cell-based antiviral activity is due to inhibition of 3C protease. In vitro and in vivo nonclinical safety studies showed Compound 1 to be without adverse effects at maximum achievable doses. Single oral doses of Compound 1 up to 2,000 mg in healthy volunteers were found to be safe and well tolerated in a phase I-ascending, single-dose study. Compound 1 estimated free observed maximum concentration in plasma (Cmax) for 500-, 1,000-, and 2,000-mg doses were higher than the protein binding-corrected EC50 required to inhibit 80% of the HRV serotypes tested. Treatment of HRV 52-infected cells with one to five 2-h pulses of 150 nM Compound 1 (corresponding to the Cmax at the 500-mg dose) was sufficient to effect a significant reduction in viral replication. These experiments highlight Compound 1 as a potent, orally bioavailable, irreversible inhibitor of HRV 3C protease and provide data that suggest that Cmax rather than the Cmin might be the key variable predicting clinical efficacy.
