AI Technical Summary
Existing influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitors are prone to leading to the development of drug-resistant strains, especially in transplant recipients, which prolongs viral masking. There is a need to develop new and more effective antiviral therapies.
A conjugate containing a portion targeting influenza virus neuraminidase and an Fc monomer or Fc domain was designed. By binding to FcγR on immune cells, it activates phagocytosis, enhancing the phagocytosis and destruction of virus particles by immune cells. The conjugate can also extend the half-life through albumin-binding peptides.
It enhances antiviral activity against influenza viruses, improves the inhibitory effect on influenza viruses, especially in people with suppressed immune systems, and reduces the emergence of drug-resistant strains.

Abstract
Description
Background Technology
[0001] The need for novel antiviral treatments for influenza is significant and particularly crucial in the medical field. The influenza virus (the pathogen of influenza) causes three to five million serious illnesses each year and approximately 500,000 deaths worldwide. While most people fully recover from influenza within about one to two weeks, others develop life-threatening complications such as pneumonia. Therefore, influenza can be fatal, especially for young people, the elderly, or those with chronic illnesses. People with weakened or compromised immune systems, such as those with advanced HIV infection or transplant recipients (whose immune systems are medically suppressed to prevent organ rejection), are at greater risk of influenza-related complications. Pregnant women and young children are also at high risk of complications.
[0002] The development of antiviral treatments for influenza has been an ongoing challenge. Several influenza antiviral agents have been approved for clinical use, and these agents play an important role in modulating disease severity and controlling epidemics when used in vaccine development. However, resistant strains have emerged against the most commonly used inhibitors.
[0003] Influenza antiviral agents primarily target proteins present on the surface of influenza virus particles. The influenza virus envelope contains two immunodominant glycoproteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, which play crucial roles in viral infection and spread. Hemagglutinin facilitates viral attachment to host cells, particularly initiating entry, through its interaction with surface sialic acid. Neuraminidase, an exoglycosidase, cleaves sialic acid (terminal neuraminidase residues) from glycan structures on the surface of infected host cells, releasing progeny viruses and allowing the virus to spread from the host cell to uninfected surrounding cells. Inhibition of neuraminidase thus serves as a pharmacological target for antiviral drugs. Viral neuraminidase inhibitors for reducing viral spread have been identified, including oseltamivir (Tamiflu). TM Zanamivir (Relenza) TM ) and peramivir (Rapivab) TM ).
[0004] However, influenza in transplant recipients is characterized by prolonged viral shedding, which increases the likelihood of developing drug-resistant strains. New and more effective treatments for influenza are needed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention relates to conjugates, compositions, and methods for inhibiting viral growth, and methods for treating viral infections. Specifically, the conjugates contain a monomer or dimer of a portion of influenza virus neuraminidase (e.g., zanamivir, peramivir, or analogues thereof), conjugated to an Fc monomer, an Fc domain, an Fc-binding peptide, albumin, or an albumin-binding peptide. The neuraminidase inhibitor in the conjugate (e.g., zanamivir, peramivir, or analogues thereof) targets the neuraminidase on the surface of viral particles. The Fc monomer or Fc domain in the conjugate binds to FcγRs (e.g., FcRn, FcγRI, FcγRIIa, FcγRIIc, FcγRIIIa, and FcγRIIIb) on immune cells (e.g., neutrophils) to activate phagocytosis and effector functions, such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), thereby engulfing and destroying viral particles by immune cells and further enhancing the antiviral activity of the conjugate. The albumin or albumin-binding peptide may prolong the half-life of the conjugate, for example, by conjugating albumin to a recirculating neonatal Fc receptor. The composition is suitable for methods of inhibiting viral growth and for treating viral infections (such as those caused by influenza A, influenza B, and influenza C viruses).

[1153] To facilitate understanding of the invention, several terms are defined below. The terms defined herein have meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art related to this invention. Terms such as “a,” “an,” and “the” are not intended to refer to a single entity, but rather to encompass the general category to which a particular instance may be described. These terms are used herein to describe specific embodiments of the invention, but their use does not limit the invention except as set forth in the claims.
[1154] As used herein, the term "neuraminidase inhibitor" or "viral neuraminidase inhibitor" refers to a compound that reduces the activity of the enzyme influenza virus neuraminidase (e.g., from influenza A, B, or C viruses). Neuraminidase inhibitors can be identified by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as by a reduction in viral replication in an influenza virus plaque reduction assay, for example, at concentrations below 20 μM (e.g., below 10 μM, 5 μM, 2 μM, 1 μM, 500 nM, or 100 nM). Viral neuraminidase inhibitors known to those skilled in the art include zanamivir, sulfozanamivir, peramivir, and A-315675 (Abbott) (see, for example, Hadházi et al., A sulfozanamivir analogue has potent anti-influenza virus activity. ChemMedChem Comm. 13:785-789 (2018) and In vitro characterization of A-315675, a highly potent inhibitor of A and B strains of influenza virus neuraminidases and influenza virus replication. AntimicrobialAgents and Chemotherapy 46(4):1014-1021 (2002)).

[1160] As used herein, the term "inhibition of neuraminidase activity" refers to an IC50 concentration of less than or equal to 1,000 nM. 50 For example, as measured by the neuraminidase inhibition analysis according to Example 2 of this document. Specifically, IC 50 This indicates the concentration of influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitor required for 50% inhibition in vitro. In some aspects, this is determined by the IC50 concentration of 100 nM or less, or 10 nM or less, based on neuraminidase inhibition analysis. 50 Indicates compounds that inhibit neuraminidase activity.
[1161] "Viral infection" refers to the pathogenic growth of a virus (e.g., influenza virus) in a host organism (e.g., a human subject). A viral infection can be any situation in which the presence of a viral population is harming the host's body. Therefore, a subject is "experiencing" a viral infection when an excessive viral population is present in or on the subject's body, or when the presence of a viral population is harming the subject's cells or other tissues.
[1162] As used herein, the term "Fc domain monomer" refers to a polypeptide chain comprising at least one hinge domain and second and third antibody constant domains (C). H 2 and C H3) or a functional fragment thereof (e.g., a fragment capable of (i) dimerizing with another Fc domain monomer to form an Fc domain, and (ii) binding to an Fc receptor). The Fc domain monomer may be any immunoglobulin antibody isotype, including IgG, IgE, IgM, IgA, or IgD (e.g., IgG). Additionally, the Fc domain monomer may be an IgG subtype (e.g., IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, or IgG4) (e.g., IgG1). The Fc domain monomer does not include any portion of the immunoglobulin capable of functioning as an antigen-recognition region, such as a variable domain or complementarity-determining region (CDR). The Fc domain monomer in the conjugates described herein may contain one or more alterations to the sequence of the wild-type Fc domain monomer. (For example, substitutions, additions, or deletions of 1-10, 1-8, 1-6, or 1-4 amino acids) that alter the interaction between the Fc domain and the Fc receptor. Examples of suitable alterations are known in the art. In some embodiments, the human Fc domain monomer (e.g., the IgG heavy chain, such as IgG1) comprises a region extending from any of Asn208, Glu216, Asp221, Lys222, or Cys226 to the C-terminus of the heavy chain at Lys447. The C-terminal Lys447 of the Fc region may or may not be present, without affecting the structure or stability of the Fc region. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amino acid residues in the IgG or Fc domain monomer are numbered according to the EU numbering system for antibodies, also known as the Kabat EU index, as described, for example, in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Edition, Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991.
[1163] As used herein, the term "Fc domain" refers to a dimer of two Fc domain monomers capable of binding to an Fc receptor. In the wild-type Fc domain, the two Fc domain monomers bind to each other via two C-terminals. H 3. Interactions between constant antibody domains dimerize, and in some embodiments, one or more disulfide bonds are formed between the hinge domains of the two dimerized Fc domain monomers.
[1164] The term "covalent attachment" refers to two parts of a conjugate that are connected to each other by a covalent bond, which is formed between two atoms in the two parts of the conjugate.

Fc-binding peptides can have different origins, such as synthetic, human, mouse, or rat. The Fc-binding peptides of the present invention comprise Fc-binding peptides engineered to include one or more (e.g., two, three, four, or five) solvent-exposed cysteine or lysine residues, which provide sites for conjugation to compounds of the present invention (e.g., conjugation to neuraminidase inhibitor monomers or dimers, including by means of a linker). Most preferably, the Fc-binding peptide will contain a single solvent-exposed cysteine or lysine, thus enabling site-specific conjugation of compounds of the present invention. Fc-binding peptides may comprise only naturally occurring amino acid residues, or may include one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. When included, non-naturally occurring amino acid residues (e.g., side chains of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues) may serve as attachment sites for compounds of the present invention (e.g., neuraminidase inhibitor monomers or dimers, including those via linkers). The Fc-binding peptides of the present invention may be linear or cyclic. The Fc-binding peptides of the present invention include any Fc-binding peptide known to those skilled in the art.

The albumin-binding peptide of the present invention includes any albumin-binding peptide known to those skilled in the art, examples of which are provided herein. Further illustrative albumin-binding peptides are provided in U.S. Patent Application No. 2005 / 0287153, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[1168] As used herein, "surface-exposed amino acid," such as surface-exposed cysteine or surface-exposed lysine, or "solvent-exposed amino acid," refers to an amino acid that is readily accessible to the solvent surrounding the protein. Surface-exposed amino acids may be naturally occurring or engineered variants of the protein (e.g., substituted or inserted). In some embodiments, surface-exposed amino acids are those whose substitution does not substantially alter the three-dimensional structure of the protein.
[1169] As used herein, the terms “connector,” “L,” and “L’” refer to a covalent link between two or more components in a conjugate (e.g., between two neuraminidase inhibitors in the conjugate described herein, between a neuraminidase inhibitor and an Fc domain or albumin in the conjugate described herein, and between a dimer of two neuraminidase inhibitors and an Fc domain or albumin in the conjugate described herein). In some embodiments, the conjugate described herein may contain a connector having a trivalent structure (e.g., a trivalent connector). The trivalent connector has three arms, each of which is covalently linked to a component of the conjugate (e.g., a first arm conjugated to a first neuraminidase inhibitor, a second arm conjugated to a second neuraminidase inhibitor, and a third arm conjugated to an Fc domain or albumin).
[1170] Molecules that can be used as connectors include at least two functional groups, which may be the same or different, such as two carboxylic acid groups, two amino groups, two sulfonic acid groups, a carboxylic acid group and a maleimide group, a carboxylic acid group and an alkynyl group, a carboxylic acid group and an amino group, a carboxylic acid group and a sulfonic acid group, an amino group and a maleimide group, an amino group and an alkynyl group, or an amino group and a sulfonic acid group. A first functional group may be covalently linked to a first component of the conjugate, and a second functional group may be covalently linked to a second component of the conjugate. In some embodiments of a trivalent connector, the two arms of the connector may contain two dicarboxylic acids, wherein the first carboxylic acid may be covalently linked to a first neuraminidase inhibitor in the conjugate, and the second carboxylic acid may be covalently linked to a second neuraminidase inhibitor in the conjugate, and the third arm of the connector may be covalently linked to an Fc domain or albumin in the conjugate. Examples of dicarboxylic acids are further described herein. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more maleimide groups may be used as a linker, wherein the maleimide group may form a carbon-sulfur link with a cysteine residue of a component in the conjugate (e.g., an Fc domain or albumin). In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more alkynyl groups may be used as a linker, wherein the alkynyl group may form a 1,2,3-triazole link with an azide of a component in the conjugate (e.g., an Fc domain or albumin). In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more azido groups may be used as a linker, wherein the azido group may form a 1,2,3-triazole link with an alkynyl group of a component in the conjugate (e.g., an Fc domain or albumin). In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more disulfone groups may be used as a linker, wherein the disulfone group may form a link with an amino group of a component in the conjugate (e.g., an Fc domain or albumin). In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more sulfonic acid groups may be used as a linker, wherein the sulfonic acid group may form a sulfonamide link with a component in the conjugate. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more isocyanate groups may be used as a connector, wherein the isocyanate groups may form a urea link with a component in the conjugate. In some embodiments, a molecule containing one or more haloalkyl groups may be used as a connector, wherein the haloalkyl groups may form a covalent link with a component in the conjugate, such as a CN and CO link.
[1171] In some embodiments, the connector provides space, rigidity, and / or flexibility between two or more components. In some embodiments, the connector may be a bond, such as a covalent bond. The term "bond" refers to a chemical bond, such as an amide bond, disulfide bond, CO bond, CN bond, NN bond, CS bond, or any kind of bond generated by a chemical reaction (e.g., chemical conjugation). In some embodiments, the connector comprises no more than 250 atoms. In some embodiments, the connector comprises no more than 250 non-hydrogen atoms. In some embodiments, the framework of the connector comprises no more than 250 atoms. The "framework" of the connector refers to the atoms in the connector that, together, form the shortest path from one part of the conjugate to another part of the conjugate (e.g., the shortest path connecting a first neuraminidase inhibitor and a second neuraminidase inhibitor). Atoms in the framework of the connector directly participate in connecting one part of the conjugate to another part of the conjugate (e.g., connecting a first neuraminidase inhibitor and a second neuraminidase inhibitor). For example, hydrogen atoms of carbon attached to the framework of the connector are not considered to directly participate in connecting one part of the conjugate to another part of the conjugate.
[1172] In some embodiments, the linker may comprise a synthetic group derived from, for example, a synthetic polymer (e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer). In some embodiments, the linker may comprise one or more amino acid residues, such as D- or L-amino acid residues. In some embodiments, the linker may be residues of an amino acid sequence (e.g., a sequence of 1-25 amino acids, 1-10 amino acids, 1-9 amino acids, 1-8 amino acids, 1-7 amino acids, 1-6 amino acids, 1-5 amino acids, 1-4 amino acids, 1-3 amino acids, 1-2 amino acids, or 1 amino acid). In some embodiments, the connector may comprise one or more (e.g., 1-100, 1-50, 1-25, 1-10, 1-5, or 1-3) optionally substituted alkylene groups, optionally substituted heteroalkylene groups (e.g., PEG units), optionally substituted alkenyl groups, optionally substituted heteroalkenyl groups, optionally substituted ynylene groups, optionally substituted heteroalkenyl groups, optionally substituted cycloalkylene groups, optionally substituted heteroalkylene groups, optionally substituted heteroalkenyl groups, optionally substituted cycloalkenyl groups, optionally substituted heteroalkenyl groups, optionally substituted aryl groups, optionally substituted heteroaryl groups (e.g., pyridine), O, S, NR i (R i(H, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted heteroalkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted heteroalkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted heteroalkynyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted heterocycloalkenyl, optionally substituted cycloalkynyl, optionally substituted heterocycloalkynyl, optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl), P, carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, sulfonyl, phosphate ester, phosphoryl, or imino. For example, the connector may comprise one or more optionally substituted C1-C20 alkylene groups, optionally substituted C1-C20 heteroalkylene groups (e.g., PEG units), optionally substituted C2-C20 alkenylene groups (e.g., C2 alkenylene groups), optionally substituted C2-C20 heteroalkylene groups, optionally substituted C2-C20 alkyneylene groups, optionally substituted C2-C20 heteroalkylene groups, optionally substituted C3-C20 cycloalkylene groups (e.g., cyclopropylene, cyclobutylene), optionally substituted C3-C20 heteroalkylene groups, optionally substituted C4-C20 cycloalkenylene groups, optionally substituted C4-C20 cycloalkenylene groups, optionally substituted C8-C20 cycloalkynylene groups, optionally substituted C8-C20 cycloalkynylene groups, optionally substituted C5-C15 arylene groups (e.g., C6 arylene groups), optionally substituted C2-C15 heteroarylene groups (e.g., imidazole, pyridine), O, S, NR. i (R i (H, optionally substituted C1-C20 alkyl, optionally substituted C1-C20 heteroalkyl, optionally substituted C2-C20 alkenyl, optionally substituted C2-C20 heteroalkenyl, optionally substituted C2-C20 ynyl, optionally substituted C2-C20 heteroyneyl, optionally substituted C3-C20 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted C3-C20 heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted C4-C20 cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted C4-C20 heterocycloalkenyl, optionally substituted C8-C20 cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted C8-C20 heterocycloalkenyl, optionally substituted C5-C15 aryl or optionally substituted C2-C15 heteroaryl), P, carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, sulfonyl, phosphate ester, phosphoryl, or imino.
[1173] As used herein, the terms “alkyl,” “alkenyl,” and “alkynyl” include straight-chain and branched monovalent substituents, and combinations thereof, which, when unsubstituted, contain only C and H. When an alkyl group comprises at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond, the alkyl group may be referred to as “alkenyl” or “alkynyl,” respectively. The monovalent of an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group does not include any substituents optionally present on the alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group. For example, if an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group is attached to a compound, the monovalent of the alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group refers to its attachment to the compound without including any additional substituents that may be present on the alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group. In some embodiments, the alkyl or heteroalkyl group may contain, for example, 1-20, 1-18, 1-16, 1-14, 1-12, 1-10, 1-8, 1-6, 1-4 or 1-2 carbon atoms (e.g., C1-C20, C1-C18, C1-C16, C1-C14, C1-C12, C1-C10, C1-C8, C1-C6, C1-C4 or C1-C2). In some embodiments, the alkenyl, heteroalkenyl, ynyl, or heteroynyl group may contain, for example, 2-20, 2-18, 2-16, 2-14, 2-12, 2-10, 2-8, 2-6, or 2-4 carbon atoms (e.g., C2-C20, C2-C18, C2-C16, C2-C14, C2-C12, C2-C10, C2-C8, C2-C6, or C2-C4). Examples include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, 2-propenyl, and 3-butynyl.
[1174] As used herein, the term "cycloalkyl" refers to a monovalent saturated or unsaturated non-aromatic cycloalkyl group. A cycloalkyl group may have, for example, three to twenty carbons (e.g., C3-C7, C3-C8, C3-C9, C3-C10, C3-C11, C3-C12, C3-C14, C3-C16, C3-C18, or C3-C20 cycloalkyl). Examples of cycloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl. When a cycloalkyl group includes at least one carbon-carbon double bond, it may be referred to as a "cycloalkenyl". A cycloalkenyl group may have, for example, four to twenty carbons (e.g., C4-C7, C4-C8, C4-C9, C4-C10, C4-C11, C4-C12, C4-C14, C4-C16, C4-C18, or C4-C20 cycloalkenyl). Exemplary cycloalkenyl groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl, and cycloheptenyl. When a cycloalkyl group comprises at least one carbon-carbon triple bond, the cycloalkyl group may be referred to as a "cycloalkynyl group." A cycloalkynyl group may have, for example, eight to twenty carbons (e.g., C8-C9, C8-C10, C8-C11, C8-C12, C8-C14, C8-C16, C8-C18, or C8-C20 cycloalkynyl groups). The term "cycloalkyl" also includes cyclic compounds having a bridging polycyclic structure, wherein one or more carbons bridge two non-adjacent members of a monocyclic ring, such as bicyclic [2.2.1.]heptyl and adamantane. The term "cycloalkyl" also includes bicyclic, tricyclic, and tetracyclic fused-ring structures, such as decahydronaphthalene and spirocyclic compounds. As used herein, the term "aryl" refers to any monocyclic or fused-ring bicyclic or tricyclic system that is aromatic in terms of electron distribution within the ring system, such as phenyl, naphthyl, or phenanthrene. In some embodiments, the ring system contains 5-15 ring member atoms or 5-10 ring member atoms. The aryl group may have, for example, five to fifteen carbons (e.g., C5-C6, C5-C7, C5-C8, C5-C9, C5-C10, C5-C11, C5-C12, C5-C13, C5-C14, or C5-C15 aryl groups). The term "heteroaryl" also refers to the monocyclic or fused bicyclic system containing one or more (e.g., 1-4, 1-3, 1, 2, 3, or 4) heteroatoms selected from O, S, and N. Heteroaryl groups can have, for example, two to fifteen carbons (e.g., C2-C3, C2-C4, C2-C5, C2-C6, C2-C7, C2-C8, C2-C9, C2-C10, C2-C11, C2-C12, C2-C13, C2-C14, or C2-C15 heteroaryl groups). The inclusion of heteroatoms allows for the inclusion of 5-membered and 6-membered rings that will be considered aromatic. Therefore, typical heteroaryl systems include, for example, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, indolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzotriazolyl, isoquinolinyl, quinolinyl, benzothiazolyl, benzofuranyl, thienyl, furanyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzoisoxazolyl, and imidazolyl.Because tautomerism is possible, groups such as phthalimide are also considered heteroaryl groups. In some embodiments, the aryl or heteroaryl group is optionally a 5- or 6-membered aromatic ring system containing 1-2 nitrogen atoms. In some embodiments, the aryl or heteroaryl group is optionally substituted with phenyl, pyridyl, indolyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, benzothiazolyl, benzimidazolyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, or imidazopyridyl. In some embodiments, the aryl group is phenyl. In some embodiments, the aryl group may optionally be substituted with a substituent such as an aryl substituent (e.g., biphenyl).
[1175] The term "alkylaryl" refers to an aryl group attached to an alkylene, alkenyl, or ynylene group. Generally, if a compound is attached to an alkylaryl group, the alkylene, alkenyl, or ynylene portion of the alkylaryl group is attached to the compound. In some embodiments, the alkylaryl group is a C6-C35 alkylaryl group (e.g., C6-C16, C6-C14, C6-C12, C6-C10, C6-C9, C6-C8, C7, or C6 alkylaryl group), wherein the number of carbons indicates the total number of carbons in the aryl and alkylene, alkenyl, or ynylene portions of the alkylaryl group. Examples of alkylaryl groups include, but are not limited to, (C1-C8)alkylene (C6-C12)aryl, (C2-C8)alkenyl (C6-C12)aryl, or (C2-C8)ynyl (C6-C12)aryl. In some embodiments, the alkylaryl group is benzyl or phenethyl. In a heteroaryl alkyl group, one or more heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S may be present in the alkylene, alkenyl, or alkyneyl group and / or in the aryl group. In an optionally substituted alkylaryl alkyl group, substituents may be present on the alkylene, alkenyl, or alkyneyl group and / or on the aryl group.
[1176] As used herein, the term "amino" represents -N(R) x )2 or -N + (R x )3, where R x Each can be independently H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkylaryl, cycloalkyl, or two R groups. x They combine to form heterocyclic alkyl groups. In some embodiments, the amino group is -NH2.
[1177] As used herein, the term "alkylamino" refers to an amino group attached to an alkylene group (e.g., C1-C5 alkylene), an alkenyl group (e.g., C2-C5 alkenyl), or an alkyne group (e.g., C2-C5 alkenyl). Generally, if a compound is attached to an alkylamino group, the alkylene, alkenyl, or alkyne portion of the alkylamino group is attached to the compound. The amino group of an alkylamino group refers to -N(R) x )2 or -N+ (R x )3, where R x Each can be independently H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkylaryl, cycloalkyl, or two R groups. x The combination forms a heterocyclic alkyl group. In some embodiments, the amino moiety of the alkylamino group is -NH2. Examples of alkylamino groups are C1-C5 alkylamino groups, such as C2 alkylamino groups (e.g., CH2CH2NH2 or CH2CH2N(CH3)2). In the heteroalkylamino group, one or more (e.g., 1-4, 1-3, 1, 2, 3, or 4) heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S may be present in the alkylene, alkenyl, or ynylene moiety of the heteroalkylamino group. In some embodiments, the alkylamino group may optionally be substituted. In substituted alkylamino groups, substituents may be present on the alkylene, alkenyl, or ynylene moiety of the alkylamino group and / or may be present on the amino moiety of the alkylamino group.
[1178] As used herein, the term "alkamide" refers to an amide group attached to an alkylene (e.g., C1-C5 alkylene), an alkenyl (e.g., C2-C5 alkenyl), or an alkyne (e.g., C2-C5 alkenyl). Generally, if a compound is attached to an alkamide group, the alkylene, alkenyl, or alkyne portion of the alkamide is attached to the compound. The amide moiety of an alkamide refers to -C(O)-N(R) x )2, where R x Each can be independently H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkylaryl, cycloalkyl, or two R groups. x The alkamids combine to form heterocyclic alkyl groups. In some embodiments, the amide moiety of the alkamid is -C(O)NH2. The alkamid group may be -(CH2)2-C(O)NH2 or -CH2-C(O)NH2. In the heteroalkamid group, one or more (e.g., 1-4, 1-3, 1, 2, 3, or 4) heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S may be present in the alkylene, alkenyl, or ynylene moiety of the heteroalkamid group. In some embodiments, the alkamid group may optionally be substituted. In substituted alkamid groups, the substituent may be present on the alkylene, alkenyl, or ynylene moiety of the alkamid group and / or may be present on the amide moiety of the alkamid group.
[1179] As used herein, the terms "alkylene", "alkenylene", and "alkynylene" refer to a divalent group having a specified size. In some embodiments, the alkylene may contain, for example, 1-20, 1-18, 1-16, 1-14, 1-12, 1-10, 1-8, 1-6, 1-4, or 1-2 carbon atoms (e.g., C1-C20, C1-C18, C1-C16, C1-C14, C1-C12, C1-C10, C1-C8, C1-C6, C1-C4, or C1-C2). In some embodiments, the alkenyl or ynyl group may contain, for example, 2-20, 2-18, 2-16, 2-14, 2-12, 2-10, 2-8, 2-6, or 2-4 carbon atoms (e.g., C2-C20, C2-C18, C2-C16, C2-C14, C2-C12, C2-C10, C2-C8, C2-C6, or C2-C4). The alkylene, alkenyl, and / or ynyl group includes straight-chain and branched-chain forms, as well as combinations thereof. The divalent nature of the alkylene, alkenyl, or ynyl group does not include any substituents optionally present on the alkylene, alkenyl, or ynyl group. For example, two neuraminidase inhibitors may be attached to each other by means of a linker comprising an alkylene, alkenyl, and / or ynyl group or a combination thereof. Each of the alkylene, alkenyl, and / or yntylide groups in the connector is considered divalent if its two attachments to either end of the alkylene, alkenyl, and / or yntylide group are divalent. For example, if the connector comprises -(optionally substituted alkylene)-(optionally substituted alkenyl)-(optionally substituted alkylene)-, then the alkenyl group is considered divalent if its attachments to the two alkylene groups at the end of the connector are divalent. Optional substituents on the alkenyl group are not included in the divalent nature of the alkenyl group. The divalent nature of the alkylene, alkenyl, or yntylide group (e.g., the alkylene, alkenyl, or yntylide group in the connector) means that the two ends of the group do not include optional substituents that may be present in the alkylene, alkenyl, or yntylide group. Because it is divalent, it can link multiple (e.g., two) parts of the conjugate (e.g., a first neuraminidase inhibitor and a second neuraminidase inhibitor) together. Alkylene, alkenylene, and / or yntylide groups may be substituted by groups typically suitable as substituents for alkyl, alkenyl, and yntylide groups as described herein. For example, C=O is a C1 alkylene group substituted with oxo (=O). For example, -HCR-C≡C- can be considered an optionally substituted yntylide group and is considered a divalent group, even if it has an optionally present substituent R. Heteroalkylene, alkenylene, and / or yntylide groups refer to alkylene, alkenylene, and / or yntylide groups comprising one or more (e.g., 1-4, 1-3, 1, 2, 3, or 4) heteroatoms (e.g., N, O, and S). For example, the PEG unit -(CH2)2-O- in a polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer or a PEG polymer is considered a heteroalkylene group containing one or more oxygen atoms.
[1180] As used herein, the term "cycloalkylene" refers to a divalent cyclic group that links two parts of a compound together. For example, one carbon atom in a cycloalkylene group may be attached to one part of the compound, while another carbon atom in the cycloalkylene group may be attached to another part of the compound. Cycloalkylene groups may include saturated or unsaturated non-aromatic cyclic groups. Cycloalkylene groups may have, for example, three to twenty carbons in the cyclic portion of the cycloalkylene group (e.g., C3-C7, C3-C8, C3-C9, C3-C10, C3-C11, C3-C12, C3-C14, C3-C16, C3-C18, or C3-C20 cycloalkylene groups). When a cycloalkylene group includes at least one carbon-carbon double bond, the cycloalkylene group may be referred to as a "cycloalkylene group". The cyclic alkenyl group may have, for example, four to twenty carbons (e.g., C4-C7, C4-C8, C4-C9, C4-C10, C4-C11, C4-C12, C4-C14, C4-C16, C4-C18, or C4-C20 cyclic alkenyl groups) in the cyclic portion of the cyclic alkenyl group. When the cyclic alkyl group includes at least one carbon-carbon triple bond, the cyclic alkyl group may be referred to as a "cyclic alkyne". The cyclic alkyne group may have, for example, four to twenty carbons (e.g., C4-C7, C4-C8, C4-C9, C4-C10, C4-C11, C4-C12, C4-C14, C4-C16, C4-C18, or C8-C20 cyclic alkyne groups) in the cyclic portion of the cyclic alkyne group. Cycloalkylene groups may be substituted with groups typically used as substituents of alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups as described herein. Heteroalkylene groups are those comprising one or more (e.g., 1-4, 1-3, 1, 2, 3, or 4) heteroatoms (e.g., N, O, and S). Examples of cycloalkylene groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopropylene and cyclobutylene. Tetrahydrofuran can be considered a heteroalkylene group.
[1181] As used herein, the term "arylene" refers to a polyvalent (e.g., divalent or trivalent) aryl group that links multiple (e.g., two or three) parts of a compound together. For example, one carbon in the arylene may be attached to one part of the compound, while another carbon in the arylene may be attached to another part of the compound. The arylene may have, for example, five to fifteen carbons (e.g., C5-C6, C5-C7, C5-C8, C5-C9, C5-C10, C5-C11, C5-C12, C5-C13, C5-C14, or C5-C15 arylene) in the aryl moiety of the arylene. The arylene may be substituted by groups typically used as substituents of alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups as described herein. A heteroarylene refers to an aromatic group comprising one or more (e.g., 1-4, 1-3, 1, 2, 3, or 4) heteroatoms (e.g., N, O, and S). The heteroaryl group may have, for example, two to fifteen carbons (e.g., C2-C3, C2-C4, C2-C5, C2-C6, C2-C7, C2-C8, C2-C9, C2-C10, C2-C11, C2-C12, C2-C13, C2-C14 or C2-C15 heteroaryl groups).
[1182] As used herein, the term "optional substitution" refers to having 0, 1, or more substituents, such as 0-25, 0-20, 0-10, or 0-5 substituents. Substituents include, but are not limited to, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkylaryl, acyl, heteroaryl, heteroalkyl, heteroalkenyl, heteroalkynyl, heteroalkylaryl, halogen, oxo, cyano, nitro, amino, alkylamino, hydroxyl, alkoxy, alkylacyl, carbonyl, carbamoyl, guanidinyl, ureyl, amidinyl, any of the above groups or portions, and heteroforms of any of the above groups or portions. Substituents include, but are not limited to, F, Cl, methyl, phenyl, benzyl, OR, NR2, SR, SOR, SO2R, OCOR, NRCOR, NRCONR2, NRCOOR, OCONR2, RCO, COOR, alkyl-OOCR, SO3R, CONR2, SO2NR2, NRSO2NR2, CN, CF3, OCF3, SiR3, and NO2, wherein each R is independently H, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, heteroalkyl, heteroalkenyl, or heteroaryl, and wherein two optional substituents on the same or adjacent atoms may join to form a fused, optionally substituted aromatic or non-aromatic, saturated or unsaturated ring containing 3-8 members, or two optional substituents on the same atom may join to form an optionally substituted aromatic or non-aromatic, saturated or unsaturated ring containing 3-8 members. An optionally substituted group or portion refers to a group or portion (e.g., any of the above groups or portions) in which one atom (e.g., a hydrogen atom) is optionally replaced by another substituent. For example, the optionally substituted alkyl group may be an optionally substituted methyl group, wherein the hydrogen atom of the methyl group is replaced by, for example, OH. As another example, the substituent on the heteroalkyl group or its divalent paired heteroalkyl group may replace the hydrogen atom on the carbon or the hydrogen atom on a heteroatom such as N. For example, the hydrogen atom in the group -R-NH-R- may be replaced by an alkamide substituent, such as -RN[(CH2C(O)N(CH3)2]-R.
[1183] Generally, any substituents present are optional non-interfering substituents. A “non-interfering substituent” is a substituent that retains the ability of the conjugates described herein (e.g., conjugates of any of formulas (1)-(5), (DI)-(DX), (D'-I), (MI)-(MX), or (M'-I)) to bind to viral neuraminidase or inhibit the proliferation of influenza virus. Therefore, in some embodiments, the substituent may alter the degree of activity. However, as long as the conjugate retains the ability to bind to viral neuraminidase or inhibit viral proliferation, the substituent will be classified as “non-interfering.” For example, a non-interfering substituent will retain the ability of the compound to provide antiviral efficacy based on an IC50 value of 10 μM or lower in a viral plaque reduction assay (such as an IC50 value against influenza virus neuraminidase based on less than 500 nM in Example 2). Therefore, the substituent may alter the degree of inhibition based on plaque reduction or influenza virus neuraminidase inhibition. However, as long as the compounds described herein (such as compounds of formulas (AI), (A-II), (A-III), (A-IV), (AV), (A-VI), (A-VII), (A-VIII), (A-IX), (AX), (A-XI), and (A-XII)) retain the ability to inhibit influenza virus neuraminidase activity, the substituents will be classified as "non-interfering". Various analyses for determining viral plaque reduction or the ability of any compound to inhibit influenza virus neuraminidase are available in the art, and some are illustrated in the examples below.
[1184] The term "hetero" when used to describe a chemical group or portion refers to a heteroatom having at least one non-carbon or non-hydrogen atom, such as N, O, and S.

[1199] As used herein, the term "percentage (%) identity" refers to the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence (e.g., Fc-IgG or a fragment thereof) that are identical to amino acid residues in a reference sequence after alignment of the sequence, with gaps introduced if necessary to achieve maximum percentage identity (i.e., gaps may be introduced in one or both of the candidate and reference sequences for optimal alignment and non-homologous sequences may be ignored for comparison purposes). Alignment for determining percentage identity can be performed in various ways within the skill of the art, such as using publicly available computer software, such as BLAST, ALIGN, or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithm required to achieve maximum alignment across the full length of the sequences being compared. In some embodiments, the percentage amino acid sequence identity of a given candidate sequence relative to, and or against, a given reference sequence (which may be expressed as a given candidate sequence having or including a certain percentage amino acid sequence identity relative to, and or against, a given reference sequence) is calculated as follows:
[1200] 100 × (fraction of A / B)
[1201] Where A is the number of amino acid residues that are identified as identical in the alignment of the candidate sequence and the reference sequence, and B is the total number of amino acid residues in the reference sequence. In some embodiments where the length of the candidate sequence is not equal to the length of the reference sequence, the percentage amino acid sequence identity between the candidate sequence and the reference sequence will not be equal to the percentage amino acid sequence identity between the reference sequence and the candidate sequence.
[1202] When performing a maximum correspondence alignment as described above, two polynucleotide or polypeptide sequences are said to be "identical" if the nucleotide or amino acid sequences are identical. Comparisons between two sequences are typically performed by comparing the sequences within a comparison window to identify and compare local regions with sequence similarity. As used herein, a "comparison window" refers to a segment of at least about 15, about 20, about 25, or more (e.g., about 30 to about 75, or about 40 to about 50) adjacent positions, wherein the two sequences can be compared after optimal alignment of the sequence and a reference sequence at the same number of adjacent positions.
[1203] As used herein, the term "treating" or "to treat" refers to therapeutic treatment of a subject's viral infection (e.g., a viral infection such as influenza). In some embodiments, therapeutic treatment may slow the progression of the viral infection, improve the subject's outcome, and / or eliminate the infection. In some embodiments, therapeutic treatment of a subject's viral infection may alleviate or improve one or more symptoms or signs associated with the viral infection, reduce the severity of the virus, stabilize the state of the viral infection, prevent the spread of the viral infection, and / or delay or slow the progression of the viral infection, as compared to the state and / or symptoms of the viral infection without the presence of said therapeutic treatment.
[1204] As used herein, the term "average of T" refers to the average number of neuraminidase inhibitor monomers or neuraminidase inhibitor dimers conjugated to the Fc domain or albumin within a conjugate population. In some embodiments, the average number of neuraminidase inhibitor monomers or neuraminidase inhibitor dimers conjugated to the Fc domain within the conjugate population may be 1 to 20 (e.g., the average value of T is 1 to 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 5 to 10, 10 to 15, or 15 to 20). In some embodiments, the average value of T is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20.
[1205] As used herein, the term “subject” can refer to a human, a non-human primate or other mammal, such as, but not limited to, dogs, cats, horses, cattle, pigs, turkeys, goats, fish, monkeys, chickens, rats, mice and sheep.
[1206] As used herein, the term “therapeutic effective amount” means the amount that effectively induces the desired effect in a subject or treats a subject having the symptoms or condition described herein (e.g., a viral infection, such as influenza infection), for example, a drug dose. It should also be understood herein that “therapeutic effective amount” can be interpreted as the amount that gives the desired therapeutic and / or preventive effect, administered at one or more doses or in any dose or route, and / or alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents (e.g., antiviral agents of prime numbers as described herein). For example, in the case of administration of a conjugate described herein for the treatment of a viral infection (e.g., a conjugate of any of formulas (1)-(5), (DI)-(DX), (D'-I), (MI)-(MX), or (M'-I), the therapeutic effective amount of the conjugate is, for example, an amount sufficient to prevent, slow, or reverse the progression of the viral infection compared to a response obtained without administration of the conjugate.
[1207] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a pharmaceutical or pharmaceutical formulation containing at least one active ingredient (e.g., a conjugate of any of formulas (1)-(5), (DI)-(DX), (D'-I), (MI)-(MX), or (M'-I)) and one or more excipients and diluents to make said active ingredient suitable for a method of administration. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprise pharmaceutically acceptable components compatible with the conjugates described herein (e.g., conjugates of any of formulas (1)-(5), (DI)-(DX), (D'-I), (MI)-(MX), or (M'-I)).
[1208] As used herein, the term "pharmaceuticalally acceptable carrier" refers to an excipient or diluent in a pharmaceutical composition. For example, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be a medium capable of suspending or dissolving an active conjugate (e.g., a conjugate of any of formulas (1)-(5), (DI)-(DX), or (MI)-(M-VI)). A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier must be compatible with the other components of the formulation and be harmless to the recipient. In this invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier must provide appropriate pharmaceutical stability to the conjugates described herein. The properties of the carrier vary depending on the method of administration. For example, solid carriers are preferred for oral administration; aqueous carriers (e.g., WFI and / or buffer solutions) are generally used for intravenous administration.
[1209] As used herein, the term "pharmaceuticalally acceptable salt" means a salt of the conjugates described herein (e.g., conjugates of any of formulas (1)-(5), (DI)-(DX), (D'-I), (MI)-(MX), or (M'-I)) that is suitable for use in the methods described herein without undue toxicity, irritation, and / or anaphylactic reactions to the extent of reasonable medical judgment. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are described in: Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use (edited by P.H. Stahl and C.W. Germuth), Wiley-VCH, 2008. The salt may be prepared on-site during the final separation and purification of the conjugates described herein, or may be prepared separately by reacting the free base with a suitable organic acid.
[1210] The term “drug:antibody ratio” or “DAR” refers to the average number (e.g., the average number of small molecule drug portions conjugated to the antibody, Fc domain, or albumin described herein). In some embodiments described herein, DAR is represented by “T” (e.g., in formulas (1)-(5), (DI)-(DX), (D'-I), (MI)-(MX), or (M'-I). As used herein, each monomeric portion (e.g., each zanamivir or peramivir monomer) or each dimer portion (e.g., each zanamivir or peramivir dimer) conjugated to the Fc domain, antibody, or albumin corresponds to a DAR value of 1.0 (e.g., a “T” value of 1.0). For example, an Fc domain conjugated to four zanamivir monomers would have a DAR of 4.0 (e.g., a “T” value of 4.0). The Fc domain conjugated to four zanamivir dimers (e.g., a total of eight zanamivir molecules) will also have a DAR of 4.0 (e.g., "T" is 4.0). DAR can also be calculated as the average DAR of a population of molecules (such as a population of Fc domains, antibodies, or albumins). DAR values can affect a drug's efficacy, potency, pharmacokinetics, or toxicity.
[1211] As used herein, the term “about” indicates a deby way of 5%. For example, about 10% means 9.5% to 10.5%.
[1212] Any value provided as a range includes the upper and lower limits, and any value contained within the upper and lower limits.
[1213] As used herein, the term “(1)-(5), (D-I)-(D-X), (D’-I), (M-I)-(M-X) or (M’-I)” refers to Formula (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (D-I), (D-II), (D-II-1), (D-II-2), (D-II-3), (D-II-4), (D-II-5), (D-II-6), (D-II-7), (D-II-8), (D-II-9), (D-II-10), (D-III), (D-III-1), (D-III-2), (D-III-3), (D-III-4), (D-III-5), (D-III-6), (D-III-7), (D-III-8), (D-III-9), (D-IV), (D-IV-1), (D-IV-2), (D-V), (D-V-1), (D-V-2), (D-V-3), (D-V-4), (D-V-5), (D-V-6), (D-V-7), (D-V-8), (D-V-9), (D-V-10), (D-VI), (D-VI-1), (D-VI-2), (D-VI-3), (D-VI-4), (D-VI-5), (D-VI-6), (D-VI-7), (D-VI-8), (D-VI-⑨), (D-VII), (D-VIII), (D-VIII-1), (D-VIII-2), (D-VIII-3), (D-VIII-4), (D-VIII-5), (D-VIII-6), (D-VIII-7), (D-VIII-8), (D-VIII-9), (D-VIII-10), (D-VIII-11), (D-IX), (D-IX-1), (D-IX-2), (D-IX-3), (D-IX-4), (D-IX-5), (D-IX-6), (D-X), (D-X-1), (D-X-2), (D-X-3), (D’-I), (M-I), (M-II), (M-II-1), (M-II-2), (M-II-3), (M-II-4), (M-II-5), (M-II-6), (M-II-7), (M-II-8), (M-II-9), (M-II-10), (M-III), (M-III-1), (M-III-2), (M-III-3), (M-III-4), (M-III-5), (M-III-6), (M-III-7), (M-III-8), (M-III-9), (M-IV), (M-IV-1), (M-IV-2), (M-V), (M-V-1), (M-V-2), (M-V-3), (M-V-4), (M-V-5), (M-V-6),(MV-7), (MV-8), (MV-9), (MV-10), (M-VI), (M-VI-1), (M-VI-2), (M-VI-3), (M-VI-4), (M-VI-5), (M-VI-6) , (M-VI-7), (M-VI-8), (M-VI-9), (M-VII), (M-VIII), (M-VIII-1), (M-VIII-2), (M-VIII-3), (M-VIII-4), (M-VIII-5), (M-VIII-6), (M-VIII-7), (M-VIII-8), (M-VIII-9), (M-VIII-10), (M-VIII-11), (M-IX), (M- Any of IX-1), (M-IX-2), (M-IX-3), (M-IX-4), (M-IX-5), (M-IX-6), (MX), (MX-1), (MX-2), (MX-3) or (M'-I)). ,
