Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of antiviral compound synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of an anti-coronavirus nucleoside compound. Background Art

[0002] Coronavirus (English name: Coronavirus) belongs to the order Nidovirales, family Coronaviridae, genus Coronavirus. It is a type of RNA virus with an envelope and a linear single-stranded positive genome. It is a large class of viruses that are widely present in nature. This virus can be seen under an electron microscope with a crown-like outer crown, so it is called Coronavirus (Coronaviridae). In 1975, the Virus Nomenclature Committee officially named the Coronaviridae. It includes rhinovirus, B814 virus, 229E virus, OC43 strain, and those that can infect humans and cause serious respiratory diseases, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS, SARS is a variant of coronavirus and is the pathogen that causes atypical pneumonia) and the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), etc. The symptoms of infection can range from the common cold to severe lung infection.

[0003] Potential targets of COVID-19 are divided into three categories: structural proteins, non-structural proteins and other coronavirus treatment-related targets. Structural proteins include spike protein (Surface Glycoprotein, Spike Protein), E protein (Envelope protein, E Protein), M protein (membrane protein) and N protein (Nucleocapsid Phosphoprotein, N protein). Non-structural proteins include replicase polyprotein 1ab, 3C-like protease, papain-like protease, NSP12 (RDRP, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase), Helicase, Nsp13 (RNA helicase), Nsp14 (Guanine-N7methyltransferase), Nsp15 (Uridylate-specific endoribonuclease), Nsp16 (2'-O-methyl transferase, 2'-O-methyltransferase). Other coronavirus treatment-related targets are mainly ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2).

[0004] There are three main types of drugs for the treatment of the new coronavirus, each with different focuses and applicable populations: small molecule antiviral drugs can be used for patients with mild, moderate and severe symptoms, neutralizing antibodies are mainly used for patients with mild and moderate symptoms, and immunomodulatory drugs are basically only used for patients with severe symptoms. At present, according to different mechanisms of action, the new coronavirus small molecule antiviral drugs mainly include RNA polymerase inhibitors, 3CL protease inhibitors, etc. There are only three new coronavirus treatment small molecule drugs approved worldwide that act on the new coronavirus polymerase (RdRp), including Gilead Sciences' Remdesivir, Molnupiravir jointly developed by Merck and Ridgeback, Azvudine from Henan Real Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Deuterium Hydrobromide Remidewei (VV116) from Shanghai Wangshi Biopharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. However, so far, no drug has become a specific drug for the new coronavirus or coronavirus.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need in the art to develop more effective inhibitors for inhibiting coronavirus replication for use in related diseases caused by coronavirus infection.
