Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically relating to antifungal compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and formulations containing them, and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Pathogenic microorganisms have always been a threat to our health. With the widespread use of antibiotics, the drug resistance of pathogenic microorganisms is constantly increasing. In recent years, multidrug-resistant bacteria, extensively drug-resistant bacteria, and pan-drug-resistant bacteria have emerged, posing a huge challenge to global public health and clinical medicine.
[0003] Fungal diseases in humans are classified into superficial and invasive fungal infections. Invasive fungal infections, often called "hidden killers," are caused by pathogens such as Aspergillus and spore-forming organisms, and are a significant cause of death in patients with cancer, AIDS, or organ transplants. Currently, the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and other potent drugs has led to a substantial increase in the number of patients with invasive fungal infections. The medical community has yet to find a satisfactory solution for combating drug-resistant and refractory pathogen infections.
[0004] A breakthrough in antifungal treatment has been achieved, with F2G Inc. announcing that the FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to its first-in-line drug candidate, olorofim (F901318). olorofim is currently in an open-label Phase 2b clinical trial and is indicated for the treatment of rare and drug-resistant invasive fungal infections, such as invasive aspergillosis (including azole-resistant strains), sclerosing fungal infections, omentosporidiosis, fusarium infections, cysticercosis, and coccidioidomycosis (valley fever).
[0005] However, considering factors such as patient medication choices and the economic burden of medication, there is still a need to develop a new type of antibacterial drug with effects comparable to or better than olorofim. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0068] Before further describing the invention, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein; it should also be understood that the terminology used herein is for description only and not for limiting specific embodiments.
[0069] [Terminology Definition]
[0070] Unless otherwise stated, the following terms have the following meanings:
[0071] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt of the compounds of this invention that is substantially non-toxic to organisms. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts generally include (but are not limited to) salts formed by the reaction of the compounds of this invention with pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic / organic acids or inorganic / organic bases; such salts are also known as acid addition salts or base addition salts. Common inorganic acids include (but are not limited to) hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc.; common organic acids include (but are not limited to) trifluoroacetic acid, citric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, etc.; common inorganic bases include (but are not limited to) sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, etc.; and common organic bases include (but are not limited to) diethylamine, triethylamine, ethylaminobutanol, etc.
[0072] The term "ester" is used to refer to organic esters, including monoesters, diesters, triesters, and more commonly polyesters.
[0073] The term "stereoisomer" (or "optical isomer") refers to a stable isomer that has a perpendicular asymmetric plane due to having at least one chiral element (including a chiral center, chiral axis, chiral plane, etc.), thereby enabling the rotation of plane-polarized light. Since the compounds of this invention contain asymmetric centers and other chemical structures that may lead to stereoisomerism, this invention also includes these stereoisomers and mixtures thereof. Because the compounds of this invention and their salts include asymmetric carbon atoms, they can exist as single stereoisomers, racemates, or mixtures of enantiomers and diastereomers. Typically, these compounds can be prepared as racemic mixtures. However, if desired, such compounds can be prepared or isolated to obtain pure stereoisomers, i.e., single enantiomers or diastereomers, or mixtures enriched with single stereoisomers (purity ≥98%, ≥95%, ≥93%, ≥90%, ≥88%, ≥85%, or ≥80%). The single stereoisomer of a compound is prepared by synthesis from an optically active starting material containing the desired chiral center, or by separation or resolution of a mixture of enantiomers, for example, by conversion to a mixture of diastereomers followed by separation, chromatographic processing, use of chiral resolving reagents, or direct separation of enantiomers on a chiral chromatographic column. Starting compounds with specific stereochemistry are commercially available or can be prepared according to the methods described below and then resolved by methods well known in the art.
[0074] The term "tautomer" (or "tautomer form") refers to structural isomers with different energies that can interconvert through a low energy barrier. If tautomerism is possible (e.g., in solution), chemical equilibrium can be achieved in the tautomer. For example, proton tautomers (or proton transfer tautomers) include (but are not limited to) interconversions via proton transfer, such as keto-enol isomerization, imine-enamine isomerization, amide-imine alcohol isomerization, etc. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomer forms of the compounds of this invention are within the scope of this invention.
[0075] The term "solvent" refers to a substance formed by the combination of a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with at least one solvent molecule through non-covalent intermolecular forces. Common solvates include (but are not limited to) hydrates, ethanol compounds, acetone compounds, etc.
[0076] The term "chelate" refers to a complex with a cyclic structure, obtained through the chelation of two or more ligands with the same metal ion to form a chelate ring.
[0077] The term "non-covalent complex" refers to a complex formed through the interaction of a compound with another molecule, where no covalent bond is formed between the two molecules. Complexation can occur, for example, through van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions (also known as ionic bonding).
[0078] The term "prodrug" refers to a derived compound that, when administered to a patient, can directly or indirectly provide the compounds of the present invention. Particularly preferred derived compounds or prodrugs are those that, when administered to a patient, can improve the bioavailability of the compounds of the present invention (e.g., facilitate absorption into the bloodstream) or promote the delivery of the parent compound to its site of action (e.g., the lymphatic system). Unless otherwise stated, all prodrug forms of the compounds of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention, and various prodrug forms are well known in the art.
[0079] The term "independently" means that at least two groups (or ring systems) in a structure with the same or similar value ranges can have the same or different meanings under specific circumstances. For example, if substituent X and substituent Y are independently hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, alkyl, or aryl, then when substituent X is hydrogen, substituent Y can be hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, alkyl, or aryl; similarly, when substituent Y is hydrogen, substituent X can be hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, alkyl, or aryl.
[0080] The term "halogen" refers to four atoms: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I).
[0081] The term "alkyl" includes straight-chain, branched, or cyclic saturated alkyl groups. In this invention, alkyl groups include (but are not limited to) methyl, ethyl, propyl, cyclopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, cyclobutyl, n-pentyl, cyclohexyl, and similar groups, for example, "C 1-4 The "C" in "alkyl" 1-4 "" refers to a group consisting of 1, 2, 3, or 4 carbon atoms arranged in a straight chain, branched chain, or ring.
[0082] The term "alkenyl" herein refers to a group having and having at least one alkenyl unsaturated site. In this invention, alkenyl includes (but is not limited to) vinyl, propenyl, allyl, isopropenyl, butenyl, isobutenyl, and other groups, such as "C 2-4 "Alkenyl" refers to alkenyl groups containing 2, 3, or 4 carbon atoms arranged in a straight chain, branched chain, or cyclic form.
[0083] The term "alkynyl" refers to a group having and having at least one alkynyl unsaturated site. In this invention, alkynyl includes (but is not limited to) ethynyl, propyn-1-yl, propyn-2-yl, and other groups, for example, "C 2-8"Alkyne" refers to an alkynyl group containing 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 carbon atoms arranged in a straight chain, branched chain, or cyclic form.
[0084] The terms “aryl” and “aromatic ring” refer to an aromatic carbocyclic group consisting of a monocyclic or fused ring, whether unsubstituted or substituted, and are used interchangeably herein, such as (but not limited to) phenyl, naphthyl, phenanthryl and biphenyl.
[0085] The term "heterocycle" refers to an unsubstituted or substituted stable 5- to 8-membered monocyclic or 8- to 14-membered bicyclic heterocyclic portion that is saturated or partially unsaturated and has one or more heteroatoms (i.e., atoms different from carbon or hydrogen, such as N, S, O, P, Se, Te, preferably N, S, O, P).
[0086] The term "heteroaromatic ring" refers to an aromatic group that contains at least one heteroatom (i.e., an atom different from carbon or hydrogen, such as N, S, O, P, Se, Te, preferably N, S, O, P) as a ring member.
[0087] The term “prevention” refers to the complete or near-complete prevention of the occurrence of a disease or condition (e.g., infection, ischemia, or reperfusion injury) when a patient or subject is susceptible to or at risk of the disease or condition; prevention may also include suppression, i.e., preventing the development of the condition.
[0088] The term “treatment” means: 1) suppressing the disease; for example, suppressing the disease, symptoms or symptom of an individual experiencing or exhibiting the pathology or symptom of the disease (i.e., preventing further development of the pathology and / or symptom); or 2) improving the disease; for example, improving the disease, symptoms or symptom of an individual experiencing or exhibiting the pathology or symptom (i.e., reversing the pathology and / or symptom).
[0089] The term "therapeutic effective amount" refers to the amount of an active compound or agent that researchers, veterinarians, physicians, or other clinicians seek to elicit a biological or medical response in an tissue, system, animal, individual, or human.
