MK5172

1206524-85-7

Chemical Formula: C29H38N4O7

Exact Mass: 554.27405

Molecular Weight: 554.63462

Elemental Analysis: C, 62.80; H, 6.91; N, 10.10; O, 20.19

 

IUPAC/Chemical name: 

(1aR,5S,8S,10R,22aR)-5-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-1,1a,3,4,5,6,9,10,18,19,20,21,22,22a-tetradecahydro-14-methoxy-3,6-dioxo-8H-7,10-methanocyclopropa[18,19][1,10,3,6]dioxadiazacyclononadecino[11,12-b]quinoxaline-8-carboxylic acid.

MK-5172 is a novel, competitive inhibitor of the HCV NS3/4a protease with selective, potent in vitro activity against a broad range of HCV genotypes (GTs) and known viral variants that are resistant to other protease inhibitors in development.
MK-5172 is a Next Generation HCV NS3/4a Protease Inhibitor with a Broad HCV Genotypic Activity Spectrum and Potent Activity Against Known Resistance Mutants, in Genotype 1 and 3 HCV-Infected Patients. MK-5172 exhibits excellent selectivity over other serine proteases such as elastase and trypsin (no measurable inhibition), and shows only modest inhibitory potency with chymotrypsin (IC50 = 1.5 µM; 75,000-fold selective). In the genotype 1b replicon assay, MK-5172 potently inhibits viral replication (IC50 = 2 nM) and demonstrates a modest shift in the presence of 50% NHS (EC50 = 9.5 nM). In vitro, MK-5172 inhibits the NS3/4A enzyme from genotypes 1b, 2a, 2b, and 3a with Ki values of <0.02, 0.15, 0.02, and 0.7 nM, respectively. The genotype 2a replicon is also potently inhibited by MK 5172 (EC50 = 5 nM).

Significance

MK-5172 is a hepatitis C virus protease inhibitor. Key steps in the synthesis depicted are (1) the regioselective SNAr reaction of dichloroquinoxaline A with prolinol derivative B and (2) construction of the 18-membered macrocycle ­using a macrolactamization (F → G).

Comment

The medicinal chemistry route to MK-5172 is based on a ring-closing metathesis strategy (S. Harper et al.ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2012, 3, 332). The best regioselectivity (20:1) and minimization of double substitution in the SNAr reaction of A with B was achieved using 1,8-diaza­bicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as the base in polar solvents such as DMSO, NMP, or DMAc.
