Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a class of sofosbuvir derivatives. The present invention also relates to a preparation method of the class of compounds and their medical use as anti-hepatitis C virus drugs. Background Art
[0002] Nucleoside drugs have become an effective way to treat cancer and viral infectious diseases. This type of drug often needs to be converted into monophosphate, diphosphate and triphosphate metabolites in the body in sequence, and finally exerts its efficacy through triphosphate nucleoside analogs (active metabolites). However, in the above phosphorylation process, the generation of monophosphate nucleosides is often the rate-limiting step, which leads to the low content of active metabolites in the body of nucleoside drugs and affects the efficacy. In order to overcome this problem, Professor McGuigan developed a class of ProTide prodrug technology, which increases the lipophilicity of the compound while increasing the metabolic activation ability of the drug, greatly improving the therapeutic effect of nucleoside prodrugs. ProTide prodrugs have promoted the birth of many blockbuster nucleoside drugs, such as sofosbuvir, tenofovir alafenamide and remdesivir, which have played an irreplaceable role in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, chronic hepatitis B and COVID-19, respectively.
[0003] ProTide prodrugs have become a key strategy in prodrug design, and further expanding the diversity of this type of prodrug structure has become the key to obtaining more active molecules and structure-activity relationship information. In the most classic ProTide prodrug preparation method, chiral phosphoramide is a key intermediate; expanding chiral phosphoramide intermediates with different structures and functions is one of the main directions to enrich the ProTide prodrug structure.
[0004] Prior art CN110840907 and CN111320650 describe a class of structurally innovative ProTide prodrugs, the synthesis of which is also achieved with the aid of phosphoramide intermediates. However, the two prior art articles do not disclose the specific preparation and structural characterization of chiral phosphoramide intermediates.
[0005] After infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV), 60%-80% of patients will develop chronic hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is very likely to cause liver fibrosis, and 10%-30% of infected people will develop cirrhosis, accompanied by a variety of complications, hepatocellular carcinoma and even the risk of premature death (World. J. Gastroenterol. 2020, 26: 2931). It is reported that in 2015, more than 170 million people were infected with HCV worldwide, of which about 70 million were chronically infected.
[0006] Treatment of chronic hepatitis C was initially with a combination of interferon and ribavirin, a regimen with poor efficacy and severe side effects. In 2001, pegylated interferon was introduced; it has a longer half-life and improved virological response rate (SRV), while most adverse effects remain. In 2011, direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy became available, with boceprevir and telaprevir being the first generation of DAAs; they inhibit the viral NS3 / 4A protease and are approved as add-ons to established pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy. These drugs improve the incidence of SVR, but patients experience a higher incidence of anemia, gastrointestinal side effects, and rash (N. Engl. J. Med. 2011;364:1207). Sofosbuvir (SOF) is the first HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitor approved for clinical use, which has a strong direct antiviral effect and has quickly become the backbone of various anti-HCV combination therapy regimens.
[0007] SOF is a type of prodrug that must undergo a series of metabolic activations in vivo before it can be converted into triphosphate active metabolites to inhibit the viral NS5B polymerase. In the above process, the hydrolysis of the prodrug by cathepsin A (CatA) and carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) in the liver and hepatocytes to release free carboxyl groups is a key step in metabolic activation. Among them, the degree of drug hydrolysis by CatA or CES1 and the changes in the functional activity of such hydrolases under different physiological or pathological conditions are key factors affecting the fate and efficacy of the drug in vivo. Therefore, avoiding or reducing the effects of esterases on drug activation and increasing the metabolic activation efficiency of prodrugs are important directions for the design and research of new prodrugs. Summary of the invention
[0008] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the first object of the present invention is to provide a novel chiral phosphoramide intermediate. The intermediate has a completely new structure and can be used to enrich the diversity of ProTide prodrug structures, which is conducive to finding better active drug molecules.

A total of three groups (blank group, H2O2 group and APAP group) were set up, each with 4 replicates. In the blank group, 1 mL of culture medium containing SOF, I-1 or I-2 (final concentration 50 μM) was added to each well, 1 mL of H2O2 with a final concentration of 500 μM and SOF, I-1 or I-2 with a final concentration of 50 μM was added to each well in the H2O2 group, and 1 mL of APAP with a final concentration of 1 mM and SOF, I-1 or I-2 with a final concentration of 50 μM was added to each well in the APAP group. After incubation for 6 h, 12 h and 24 h, the drug-containing culture medium was removed, the cells were rinsed twice with PBS, 300 μL of ultrapure water was added, the cells were blown and transferred to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and the cells were repeatedly frozen and thawed 3 times to break the cells and repeatedly blown. The protein concentration of one part of the cell sample was determined by the BCA method, and the other part was quantitatively taken, 50 μL of the cell sample was precipitated with 250 μL of acetonitrile containing 83.6 nM internal standard, oscillated for 5 min, and centrifuged twice at 18000 rpm × 5 min at 4°C. 50 μL of the supernatant was taken and 5 μL was injected.
[0184] 3. Experimental results
[0185] The drug was co-incubated with the cells, and the content of the intracellular triphosphate active metabolite AM was measured at 6h, 12h and 24h (corrected by protein quantitative data). The results are shown in the attached manual. Figure 4 As shown in A. The test compounds SOF, I-1 or I-2 can all be metabolized into active metabolites AM in cells, and as the co-incubation time increases, AM gradually accumulates in the cells; it is worth noting that the intracellular AM accumulation of compound I-1 is much higher than that of SOF, which suggests that the compound has better antiviral activity.
[0186] SOF, I-1 or I-2 were co-incubated with cells, and H2O2 or acetaminophen (APAP) was used to intervene to increase the level of cellular oxidative stress. The content of the triphosphate active metabolite AM in the cells was measured 24 hours later (corrected by protein quantitative data). The results are shown in the attached manual. Figure 4 As shown in B. Both I-1 and I-2 can show more ideal metabolic activation in cells with increased oxidative stress, and the accumulation of active metabolites AM increased significantly; while in the cells of the SOF group, the accumulation of AM did not change significantly before and after the intervention. This result shows that under conditions of increased oxidative stress, the compounds described in this patent can more effectively improve the metabolic activation efficiency; this also suggests that under the condition of chronic hepatitis C inflammation, the compounds may have higher active metabolite exposure levels, and thus better antiviral activity.
