DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] To facilitate understanding of the disclosure set forth herein, a number of terms are defined below.
[0024] Generally, the nomenclature used herein and the laboratory procedures in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, biology, immunology, and pharmacology described herein are those well-known and commonly employed in the art. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein generally have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.
[0025] The term “subject” refers to an animal, including, but not limited to, a primate (e.g., human), cow, pig, sheep, goat, horse, dog, cat, rabbit, rat, or mouse. The terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein in reference, for example, to a mammalian subject, such as a human subject. In one embodiment, the subject is a human.
[0026] The terms “treat,” “treating,” and “treatment” are meant to include alleviating or abrogating a disorder, disease, or condition, or one or more of the symptoms associated with the disorder, disease, or condition; or alleviating or eradicating the cause(s) of the disorder, disease, or condition itself.
[0027] The terms “prevent,” “preventing,” and “prevention” are meant to include a method of delaying and / or precluding the onset of a disorder, disease, or condition, and / or its attendant symptoms; barring a subject from acquiring a disorder, disease, or condition; or reducing a subject’s risk of acquiring a disorder, disease, or condition.
[0028] The terms “alleviate” and “alleviating” refer to easing or reducing one or more symptoms (e.g., pain) of a disorder, disease, or condition. The terms can also refer to reducing adverse effects associated with an active ingredient. Sometimes, the beneficial effects that a subject derives from a prophylactic or therapeutic agent do not result in a cure of the disorder, disease, or condition.
[0029] The term “contacting” or “contact” is meant to refer to bringing together of a therapeutic agent and a biological molecule (e.g., a protein, enzyme, RNA, or DNA), cell, or tissue such that a physiological and / or chemical effect takes place as a result of such contact. Contacting can take place in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo. In one embodiment, a therapeutic agent is contacted with a biological molecule in vitro to determine the effect of the therapeutic agent on the biological molecule. In another embodiment, a therapeutic agent is contacted with a cell in cell culture (in vitro) to determine the effect of the therapeutic agent on the cell. In yet another embodiment, the contacting of a therapeutic agent with a biological molecule, cell, or tissue includes the administration of a therapeutic agent to a subject having the biological molecule, cell, or tissue to be contacted.
[0030] The term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” is meant to include the amount of a compound that, when administered, is sufficient to prevent development of, or alleviate to some extent, one or more of the symptoms of the disorder, disease, or condition being treated. The term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” also refers to the amount of a compound that is sufficient to elicit a biological or medical response of a biological molecule (e.g., a protein, enzyme, RNA, or DNA), cell, tissue, system, animal, or human, which is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor, or clinician.
[0031] The term “HBsAg” refers to a hepatitis B virus envelope protein, including HBV envelope proteins S, M, and L, which are also known as S-HBsAg, M-HBsAg, and L-HBsAg, respectively. S-HBsAg, M-HBsAg, and L-HBsAg share the same C terminus (also known as the S domain) of 226 amino acids in length, which corresponds to S-HBsAg and is critical for viral assembly and infectivity. Salisse and Sureau, J. Virol. 2009, 83, 9321-8.
[0032] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,” “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient,” “physiologically acceptable carrier,” or “physiologically acceptable excipient” refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, solvent, or encapsulating material. In one embodiment, each component is “pharmaceutically acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of a pharmaceutical formulation, and suitable for use in contact with the tissue or organ of a subject (e.g., a human or an animal) without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, immunogenicity, or other problems or complications, and commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. See, e.g., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 22nd ed.; Allen Ed.; Pharmaceutical Press: London, 2012; Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 8th ed.; Sheskey etaL, Eds.; Pharmaceutical Press: London, 2017; Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives, 3rd ed.; Ash and Ash Eds.; Synapse Information Resources: 2007; Pharmaceutical Preformulation and Formulation, 2nd ed.; Gibson Ed.; Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Sciences 199; Informa Healthcare: New York, NY, 2009.
[0033] The term “about” or “approximately” means an acceptable error for a particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which depends in part on how the value is measured or determined. In certain embodiments, the term “about” or “approximately” means within 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations. In certain embodiments, the term “about” or “approximately” means within 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.05% of a given value or range.

[0057] In certain embodiments, “optically active” and ’’enantiomerically active” refer to a collection of molecules, which has an enantiomeric excess of no less than about 80%, no less than about 90%, no less than about 91%, no less than about 92%, no less than about 93%, no less than about 94%, no less than about 95%, no less than about 96%, no less than about 97%, no less than about 98%, no less than about 99%, no less than about 99.5%, or no less than about 99.8%. In certain embodiments, an optically active compound comprises about 95% or more of one enantiomer and about 5% or less of the other enantiomer based on the total weight of the enantiomeric mixture in question. In certain embodiments, an optically active compound comprises about 98% or more of one enantiomer and about 2% or less of the other enantiomer based on the total weight of the enantiomeric mixture in question. In certain embodiments, an optically active compound comprises about 99% or more of one enantiomer and about 1% or less of the other enantiomer based on the total weight of the enantiomeric mixture in question.
[0058] In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the compound about its chiral center(s). The (+) and (-) are used to denote the optical rotation of the compound, that is, the direction in which a plane of polarized light is rotated by the optically active compound. The (-) prefix indicates that the compound is levorotatory, that is, the compound rotates the plane of polarized light to the left or counterclockwise. The (+) prefix indicates that the compound is dextrorotatory, that is, the compound rotates the plane of polarized light to the right or clockwise. However, the sign of optical rotation, (+) and (-), is not related to the absolute configuration of the compound, R and S.
[0059] The terms “substantially pure” and “substantially homogeneous” mean, when referred to a substance, sufficiently homogeneous to appear free of readily detectable impurities as determined by a standard analytical method used by one of ordinary skill in the art, including, but not limited to, thin layer chromatography (TLC), gel electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS); or sufficiently pure such that further purification would not detectably alter the physical, chemical, biological, and / or pharmacological properties, such as enzymatic and biological activities, of the substance. In certain embodiments, “substantially pure” or “substantially homogeneous” refers to a collection of molecules, wherein at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about 98%, at least about 99%, or at least about 99.5% by weight of the molecules are a single compound, including a single enantiomer, a racemic mixture, or a mixture of enantiomers, as determined by standard analytical methods. As used herein, when an atom at a particular position in an isotopically enriched molecule is designated as a particular less prevalent isotope, a molecule that contains other than the designated isotope at the specified position is an impurity with respect to the isotopically enriched compound. Thus, for a deuterated compound that has an atom at a particular position designated as deuterium, a compound that contains a protium at the same position is an impurity.
[0060] The term “solvate” refers to a complex or aggregate formed by one or more molecules of a solute, e.g., a compound provided herein, and one or more molecules of a solvent, which are present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, methanol, ethanol, ^-propanol, isopropanol, and acetic acid. In certain embodiments, the solvent is pharmaceutically acceptable. In one embodiment, the complex or aggregate is in a crystalline form. In another embodiment, the complex or aggregate is in a noncrystalline form. Where the solvent is water, the solvate is a hydrate. Examples of hydrates include, but are not limited to, a hemihydrate, monohydrate, dihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate, and pentahydrate.
[0061] For a divalent group described herein, no orientation is implied by the direction in which the divalent group is presented. For example, unless a particular orientation is specified, the formula -C(O)NH- represents both -C(O)NH- and - NHC(O)-.
[0062] The phrase “a diastereomer, a mixture of two or more diastereomers, a tautomer, or a mixture of two or more tautomers thereof; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or hydrate thereof’ has the same meaning as the phrase “(i) a diastereomer, a mixture of two or more diastereomers, a tautomer, or a mixture of two or more tautomers of the compound referenced therein; (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or hydrate of the compound referenced therein; or (iii) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or hydrate of a diastereomer, a mixture of two or more diastereomers, a tautomer, or a mixture of two or more tautomers of the compound referenced therein.” Compounds

[00232] The binding affinities of hAnti-HBsAg 1 and hAnti-HBsAg / CpG oligonucleotide conjugates AOC-A8 and AOC-B2 to a human HBsAg (SEQ ID NO: 56) were determined using an ELISA. Briefly, the human HBsAg was coated onto the wells of an ELISA plate at 4 °C overnight. Human hAnti-HBsAg 1, AOC-A8, and AOC-B2 were added at the predetermined concentrations. After the ELISA plate was incubated at 25 °C for 1 h, a horseradish (HRP) solution was added to each well and the place was incubated at 25 °C for another 1 h. A TMB substrate was added. After the addition of a terminating solution, the ELISA plate was read with an ELISA plate reader at 450 nm. The binding affinities were calculated and the results are summarized in Table 5. TABLE 5.

[00234] C57BL / 6 male mice were injected via the tail vein of each mouse with AAV8- HBV (genotype D) (1 x 1010 viral genome) in PBS (200 pL). Twenty eight days (Day 0) after the viral injection, the mice were randomized into three groups with four mice per group. mAnti-HBsAg 1 and m Anti-HBsAg / TLR agonist conjugate AOC-A1 were administered intravenously at 15 mg / kg to the mice in Groups 1 and 2, respectively, on Day 0, 21, 42, 62, and 84. PBS (control) was administered intravenously to the mice in Group 3. Blood samples were collected from the mice in each group and analyzed for HBsAg, anti-HBs, ALT, and cytokine levels. On Day 128, the mice were euthanized, and liver samples were collected and analyzed for hepatic HBcAg levels using an IHC method. The results are shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 and summarized in Table 7.

[00235] Anti-HBsAg / TLR agonist conjugates AOC-A1, AOC-A2, AOC-A3, AOC-A4, AOC-A5, AOC-A6, AOC-A7, AOC-A9, AOC-B1, AOC-C1, and ISAC-A1 were also evaluated for their anti-HBV activities. On Day 0, 21, 42, and 63, an anti-HBsAg conjugate was administered intravenously at 15 mg / kg to each mouse in a treatment group. PBS was administered intravenously to each mouse in a control group. Blood samples were collected from the mice and analyzed for HBsAg and anti-HBs levels. On Day 106, the mice were euthanized, and liver samples were collected and analyzed for hepatic HBcAg levels using an IHC method. The results are summarized in FIGS. 7 to 9.
[00236] Additionally, anti-HBsAg / TLR agonist conjugates AOC-A4, AOC-A10, AOC-B3, AOC-B4, AOC-C1, and AOC-C2 were evaluated for their anti-HBV activities. On Day 0, - Ill - 21, 42, and 63, an anti-HBsAg / TLR agonist conjugate was administered intravenously at 15 mg / kg to each mouse in a treatment group. PBS was administered intravenously to each mouse in a control group. Blood samples were collected from the mice and analyzed for HBsAg and anti-HBs levels. On Day 84, the mice were euthanized, and liver samples were collected and analyzed for hepatic HBcAg levels using an IHC method. The results are summarized in FIGS. 10 to 12.
[00237] Furthermore, anti-HBsAg / TLR agonist conjugates AOC-B8, AOC-D1, and ISAC-A2, as well as a CpG oligonucleotide (SEQ ID NO: 45) were evaluated for their anti-HBV activities. On Day 0, 21, and 42, anti-HBsAg / TLR agonist conjugates AOC-B8 and ISAC-A2 were administered intravenously at 15 mg / kg, anti-HBsAg / TLR agonist conjugate AOC-D1 was administered intravenously at 5 mg / kg, and the CpG oligonucleotide was administered subcutaneously at 2.5 mg / kg. PBS was administered intravenously to each mouse in a control group. Blood samples were collected from the mice and analyzed for HBsAg. The results are summarized in FIG. 13. Example 12 Epitope-Based Competitive ELISA
[00238] Anti-HBsAg antibodies, hAnti-HBsAg 1, hAnti-HBsAg 2, and hAnti-HBsAg 3, were evaluated in an epitope-based competitive ELISA. In the assay, each well of an ELISA plate was coated with HBsAg at 1 pg / mL. A mixture biotinylated hAnti-HBsAg 1 at 2 pg / mL with hAnti-HBsAg 1, hAnti-HBsAg 2, or hAnti-HBsAg 3 at predetermined concentrations was then added, followed by addition of streptavidin and a secondary streptavidin antibody. The results are shown in FIG. 14, which shows that there is no competition between hAnti-HBsAg 1 and hAnti-HBsAg 2, indicating that the two antibodies bind two distinct epitopes on HBsAg; but there is a competition between hAnti-HBsAg 1 and hAnti-HBsAg 3, suggesting that their epitopes likely overlap. The competitive ELISA results shown in FIG. 14, together with anti-HBV efficacy results shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, demonstrate that anti-HBsAg / CpG oligonucleotide conjugates targeting different HBsAg epitopes are efficacious in treating HBV infection.
