A novel application of the synthesis of pronucleotide (ProTide) 5′-phosphoramidate monoesters promoted by aluminum-based Lewis acids is described. In the multikilogram synthesis of uprifosbuvir (MK-3682, 1), a clinical candidate for the treatment of hepatitis C, this methodology provided >100:1 diastereoselectivity at the phosphorus stereocenter and >100:1 selectivity for the 5′-mono phosphorylation over undesired bisphosphorylation side products. The high diastereoselectivity and mono/bis ratio achieved enabled elimination of the tedious workup associated with the tert-butyl magnesium chloride protocol commonly used to install this functionality in similar nucleotide prodrugs, achieving a near doubling of the isolated yield from 45% to 81%. The process development and purity control strategy of MK-3682, as well as handling of the pyrophoric reagent on scale, will also be discussed.
Synthesis and Anti-HCV Activities of 4′-Fluoro-2′-Substituted Uridine Triphosphates and Nucleotide Prodrugs: Discovery of 4′-Fluoro-2′- C-methyluridine 5′-Phosphoramidate Prodrug (AL-335) for the Treatment of Hepatitis C Infection

We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of 4′-fluoro-2′-C-substituted uridines. Triphosphates of the uridine analogues exhibited a potent inhibition of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase with IC50 values as low as 27 nM. In an HCV subgenomic replicon assay, the phosphoramidate prodrugs of these uridine analogues demonstrated a very potent activity with EC50 values as low as 20 nM. A lead compound AL-335 (53) demonstrated high levels of the nucleoside triphosphate in vitro in primary human hepatocytes and Huh-7 cells as well as in dog liver following a single oral dose. Compound 53 was selected for the clinical development where it showed promising results in phase 1 and 2 trials.

The catalytic stereoselective synthesis of compounds with chiral phosphorus centers remains an unsolved problem. State-of-the-art methods rely on resolution or stoichiometric chiral auxiliaries. Phosphoramidate prodrugs are a critical component of pronucleotide (ProTide) therapies used in the treatment of viral disease and cancer. Here we describe the development of a catalytic stereoselective method for the installation of phosphorusstereogenic phosphoramidates to nucleosides through a dynamic stereoselective process. Detailed mechanistic studies and computational modeling led to the rational design of a multifunctional catalyst that enables stereoselectivity as high as 99:1.
