Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine and relates to a nucleoside compound and its use as a medicine, particularly as a medicine for treating and / or preventing hepatitis B. The present invention also relates to a composition of these nucleoside compounds with other antiviral agents and its use in treating and / or preventing hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Background Art

[0002] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) belongs to the Hepatoviridae family. It can cause acute and / or progressive chronic illness. Acute HBV in adults is generally self-resolving through immune mechanisms. However, chronic hepatitis B (CHB) has become a significant global healthcare challenge and a major cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The World Health Organization estimates that 2 billion people worldwide are chronically infected with HBV, with over 350 million chronically infected individuals. Nearly 600,000 people die annually from liver failure, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma caused by HBV infection. Currently, the mainstay of treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is antiviral therapy. Interferon alpha (IFN-a), pegylated IFN-a, and nucleoside (acid) analogs (lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, entecavir, telbivudine, and tenofovir) are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical treatment. Interferon was the first FDA-approved anti-HBV drug. It primarily eliminates the virus through direct antiviral effects and by inducing an immune response. However, its application is limited by its low response rate, numerous side effects, high cost, and limited therapeutic targets. Nucleoside (acid) drugs for HBV resistance share a common characteristic: they specifically target viral DNA polymerase, effectively inhibiting viral replication and are better tolerated by patients than interferon. L-FMAU has a low bioavailability of approximately 20%, and its metabolic half-life is short. Both a short half-life and low bioavailability can affect the clinical therapeutic efficacy of L-FMAU. A short half-life shortens the dosing interval, while low bioavailability increases the patient's dosage, increasing the metabolic burden on the patient and leading to significant side effects from long-term use. The present invention relates to a series of D-amino acid ester prodrugs of L-FMAU that not only improve the bioavailability of the parent drug but also significantly enhance liver targeting, thereby reducing the drug's toxic side effects. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to a novel class of nucleoside compounds and their use in preparing medicaments for treating and preventing HBV infection. The novel nucleoside compounds of the present invention have excellent stem cell targeting, good pharmacokinetic properties, good solubility, low toxicity, and good liver microsomal stability, and have promising application prospects in the treatment of HBV.

[0038] As used herein, the term "heterocyclyl" refers to a saturated or partially unsaturated but non-aromatic heterocyclic group, and may be monocyclic or polycyclic (in the case of polycyclics, particularly bicyclic, tricyclic or spirocyclic); and has 3 to 14, more commonly 4 to 10, most preferably 5 or 6 ring atoms; wherein one or more, preferably one to four, especially one or two ring atoms are heteroatoms independently selected from O, S and N (the remaining ring atoms are therefore carbon). Even if described as, for example, a C5-6 atom ring, the heterocycle contains at least one heteroatom as a ring atom, the other ring atoms are carbon, and have the number of ring atoms, for example, 5-6 in this example. Preferably, the heterocyclic group has one or two such heteroatoms as ring atoms, and preferably, the heteroatoms are not directly connected to each other. Unless otherwise stated, the bonded ring (i.e., the ring connected to the target formula) preferably has 4-12, particularly 5-7 ring atoms. The heterocyclic group may be fused to an aromatic ring, provided that the atoms of the heterocyclic group connected to the target chemical formula are not aromatic.

[0044] Similarly, each heteroaryl portion of other groups such as "heteroaryloxy" and "heteroaryloxyalkyl" shall have the same meaning as described in the above definition of "heteroaryl".

[0045] In many cases, the compounds of the present invention are capable of forming acid and / or base salts due to the presence of amino and / or carboxyl groups or similar groups. As used herein, the term "salt" or "salts" refers to acid addition salts or base addition salts of the compounds of the present invention. "Salts" specifically include "pharmaceutically acceptable salts." The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the compounds of the present invention and are generally not biologically or otherwise undesirable.

[0046] Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be formed with inorganic and organic acids.

[0047] Any formula given herein is also intended to represent the unlabeled form of the compound (i.e., all atoms in the compound are present at their natural isotopic abundances and are non-isotopically enriched) as well as isotopically enriched or labeled forms. An isotopically enriched or labeled compound has a structure described by the general formula given herein, except that at least one atom of the compound is replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from that of the naturally occurring atomic mass or atomic mass distribution. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the enriched or labeled compounds of the present invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine, and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18F, 31P, 32P, 35S, 36Cl, and 125I, respectively. The present invention includes various isotopically labeled compounds as defined herein, such as those compounds in which radioactive isotopes such as 3H and 14C, or in which the presence of non-radioactive isotopes such as 2H and 13C is significantly higher than the natural abundance of these isotopes. These isotopically labeled compounds can be used for metabolic studies (e.g., with 14C), reaction kinetic studies (e.g., with 2H or 3H), detection or imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or for radiotherapy of patients. In particular, 18F-labeled compounds may be particularly ideal for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically labeled compounds of formula (I) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by methods similar to those described in the accompanying examples using appropriate isotopically labeled reagents instead of otherwise used unlabeled reagents. In addition, substitution with heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium (i.e., 2H or D), can provide certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, such as increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements or improved therapeutic index. The concentration of such heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium, can be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. As used herein, the term "isotopic enrichment factor" means the ratio between the isotopic abundance of a specified isotope and its natural abundance. If a substituent in a compound of the invention is represented as deuterium, such compound has a deuterium isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium atom), at least 4000 (60% deuterium incorporation), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 5000 (75% deuterium incorporation), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 6000 (90% deuterium incorporation), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation), at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation), or at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium incorporation). Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates according to the present invention include those wherein the solvent of crystallization may be isotopically substituted, such as D2O, d6-acetone, d6-DMSO as well as solvates with non-enriched solvents.

[0048] As used herein, the term "inhibit" refers to reducing or suppressing a given condition, symptom or disorder or disease, or significantly reducing the baseline activity of a biological activity or process.

[0049] As used herein, the terms "treat," "treat," or "manage" of any disease or disorder refer, in one embodiment, to ameliorating the disease or disorder (i.e., slowing or arresting or reducing the development of the disease or at least one clinical symptom thereof). In another embodiment, "treat," "treat," or "manage" refers to alleviating or improving at least one physical parameter, including those that may not be discernible by the patient. In another embodiment, "treat," "treat," or "manage" refers to modulating the disease or disorder physically (e.g., stabilizing an identifiable symptom), physiologically (e.g., stabilizing a physical parameter), or both. In another embodiment, "treat," "treat," or "manage" refers to preventing or delaying the development or progression of a disease or disorder.

[0050] All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order, unless otherwise noted herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples or exemplary language (e.g., "such as") provided herein is intended only to better illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of the present invention otherwise claimed.

[0051] Any asymmetric atoms (e.g., carbon, etc.) of the compounds of the present invention may exist in racemic or enantiomerically enriched forms, such as (R)-, (S)-, or (R, S)-configurations. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has an (R)- or (S)-configuration of up to 50% enantiomeric excess, at least 60% enantiomeric excess, at least 70% enantiomeric excess, at least 80% enantiomeric excess, at least 90% enantiomeric excess, at least 95% or at least 99% enantiomeric excess; that is, for optically active compounds, it is generally preferred to use one enantiomer to the substantial exclusion of the other, and thus an enantiomeric purity of at least 95% is generally preferred. Substituents on atoms with unsaturated double bonds may exist in cis-(Z)- or trans-(E)-forms, if possible. Thus, as used herein, the compounds of the invention may be in the form of one of the possible isomers, rotamers, atropisomers, tautomers, or mixtures thereof, such as substantially pure geometric (cis or trans) isomers, diastereomers, optical isomers (enantiomers), racemates, or mixtures thereof. As used herein, "substantially pure" or "substantially free of other isomers" means that the product contains less than 5% by weight, and preferably less than 2% by weight, of other isomers relative to the preferred isomer. The resulting isomeric mixture can be separated into pure or substantially pure geometric or optical isomers, diastereomers, racemates, generally based on the physicochemical differences of the components, such as by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization.

[0052] The racemate of the final product or intermediate can be split into optical antipodes by known methods, for example, by separating its diastereomeric salts obtained with optically active acids or bases, and releasing optically active acidic or basic compounds. Specifically, the basic moiety can thus be used to split the compounds of the present invention into their optical antipodes, for example, by fractional crystallization of salts formed with optically active acids such as tartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, two-O, O'-toluoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid or camphor-10-sulfonic acid. The racemic product can also be split by chiral chromatography, for example, using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) of a chiral stationary phase.

[0053] In addition, the compounds of the present invention, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of their hydrates, or include other solvents used for their crystallization. The compounds of the present invention can inherently or by design form solvates with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents (including water); therefore, the present invention is intended to include both solvated and non-solvated forms. The term "solvate" refers to a molecular complex of a compound of the present invention (including its pharmaceutically acceptable salt) and one or more solvent molecules. Such solvent molecules are those commonly used in the pharmaceutical field and are known to be harmless to the recipient, such as water, ethanol, etc. The term "hydrate" refers to a complex in which the solvent molecule is water.

[0054] On the other hand, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions, which include the compounds of this invention or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In some embodiments, the composition includes at least two pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and other excipients are well known to those skilled in the art, and can be selected from, for example, carriers and excipients used in approved (registered) formulations of therapeutic agents administered by similar routes of administration. Pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated for specific routes of administration, such as oral administration, parenteral administration, and rectal administration. In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be made in solid form (including but not limited to capsules, tablets, pills, granules, powders, or suppositories) or in liquid form (including but not limited to solutions, suspensions, or emulsions). Pharmaceutical compositions can undergo conventional drug operations, such as sterilization and / or can include conventional inert diluents, lubricants, or buffers, and adjuvants such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, and buffers. In one embodiment, the compounds of this invention are formulated for oral delivery. Typically, these pharmaceutical compositions are tablets or gelatin capsules comprising the active ingredient (at least one compound of formula (I)) and one or more excipients selected from:

[0055] a) diluents, for example lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose and / or glycine; b) lubricants, for example silicon dioxide, talc, stearic acid, its magnesium or calcium salts and / or polyethylene glycol; c) binders, for tablets, for example magnesium aluminum silicate, starch paste, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and / or polyvinylpyrrolidone; d) disintegrants, for example starch, agar, alginic acid or its sodium salt or effervescent mixtures, if desired; and / or e) absorbents, colorants, flavorings and sweeteners.

[0056] Tablets may be film coated or enteric coated according to methods known in the art.

[0057] Suitable compositions for oral administration include an effective amount of a compound of the present invention in the form of tablets, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs.

[0063] Synthesis of compounds 2 and 3

[0064] To a solution of phenyl dichlorophosphate (4.20 mL, 27.4 mmol) in isopropyl acetate (36 mL) was added dropwise a solution of D-alanine isopropyl ester 1 (3.6 g, 27.4 mmol) and triethylamine (4.20 mL, 30.2 mmol) in isopropyl acetate (20 mL) at -10°C, while maintaining the temperature below -5°C. After stirring for 4 hours, a solution of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenol (5.56 g, 30.2 mmol) and triethylamine (4.4 mL, 31.6 mmol) in isopropyl acetate (10 mL) was added dropwise, while maintaining the temperature below -5°C. After the addition was complete, the temperature was raised to 10°C. After stirring for 18 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered and washed with isopropyl acetate. The mixture was concentrated to approximately 50 mL under vacuum distillation, and then heptane (80 mL) was added while maintaining a constant volume and an internal temperature of 40°C. The mixture was cooled to 20°C and stirred for 20 hours. The solid was filtered, washed with isopropanol / water (1:1), and dried under vacuum overnight to give (R,R)-2 (9.6 g; 76% yield; >99% dr).

[0105] Example 10 Anti-HBV activity determination

[0106] HepG2.2.15 cells overexpressing the HBV viral attachment receptor sodium-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) were grown to confluence in DMEM growth medium (without sodium pyruvate, Life Technologies, Rockville, MD) supplemented with 10% FBS (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MD), 1% penicillin / streptomycin (Life Technologies, Rockville, MD), and 2 mM L-glutamine (Life Technologies, Rockville, MD) in T175 flasks. Cells were infected with HBV AD38 viral particles (Texcell, Frederick, USA) at 4000 genome equivalents per cell. After allowing viral infection to occur for 4 days, infected cells were harvested from the flasks by trypsinization, washed twice with OptiMEM (Life Technologies, Rockville, MD), and resuspended at a density of 0.25E6 cells / ml in DMEM containing 2% FBS and 1% DMSO. Infected cells were seeded at a density of 20,000 cells / well in 384-well collagen-coated plates (Greiner, Austria) containing serially diluted compounds of the disclosure or DMSO (0.5%) in a final volume of 80 μl. The assay plates were incubated for 5 days, and the antiviral activity of the test compounds was determined by detecting the presence of HBV DNA in the culture supernatants using the QuantiGene™ 2.0 Nucleic Acid Quantification Kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).

[0107] The culture supernatant was harvested and treated with a lysis buffer containing proteinase K (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). The supernatant was incubated with an HBV viral DNA-specific probe (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) at 55°C for 30 minutes. 0.2 M NaOH was then added at room temperature for 30 minutes to denature the DNA, followed by the addition of a neutralization buffer (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). The resulting lysed and neutralized supernatant was then added to a QuantiGene™ 2.0 384-well plate coated with capture oligonucleotides and incubated at 55°C overnight. The HBV-specific probe set consisted of a Capture Extender oligonucleotide (CE) and a blocking probe. After the overnight incubation, the wells were incubated sequentially with a preamplifier, amplifier, and labeled probe coupled to alkaline phosphatase for 1 hour, with washes between incubations. After the final wash step, alkaline phosphatase substrate (Luminol APS5) was added and the resulting luminescent signal was read in an EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader (PerkinElmer, Santa Clara, CA). EC50 values ​​were calculated from the fit of the dose-response curves to a four-parameter equation. All EC50 values ​​represent the geometric mean of a minimum of four determinations. EC50 values ​​for certain compounds of the present disclosure are shown in Table 1. 50 The values ​​are reported in the table below.

[0108] For the cytotoxicity test, take one bottle of well-grown HepG2.2.15 cells, digest them with trypsin, and prepare a single-cell suspension. Count the cells using a cell counter and adjust the cell density to 2 × 105 cells / mL using DMEM medium containing 10% FBS serum. The cells are then seeded into a 96-well culture plate (100 μL per well). The cells are placed in a CO2 incubator at 5% CO2 and 37°C until 80% contact inhibition is achieved. The supernatant is aspirated and culture medium containing different concentration gradients of the test drug is added. Simultaneously, culture medium containing the corresponding concentration gradient of the positive control drug, telbivudine, is added. A cell blank control well is also set up. Three replicate wells are set up for each concentration gradient and cell blank control. Place in a CO2 incubator and incubate at 37°C for 72 hours. Add 10 μL of MTT (0.5 / L) to each well and continue incubating for another 4 hours. Then carefully remove the supernatant and add 150 μL of DMSO to each well. Shake to dissolve the formazan particles. Finally, use a microplate reader to compare the colorimetry, set the blank well to zero, and measure the A value at 546 nm. Calculate the cell viability and the half-toxic concentration (CC) based on the absorbance value. 50 , the results are shown in the table.

[0112] In vivo PK test data of compounds

[0113] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase is responsible for HBV viral replication, and the substrates used for replication are nucleoside triphosphates. The compounds described in the present invention are phosphoramidate nucleotide analog prodrugs, a novel liver-targeting molecule designed to deliver the 5'-monophosphate of clavudine, which is then metabolized within hepatocytes to generate the active nucleoside triphosphate analog. Unlike other nucleotides, the active 5'-triphosphate of clavudine is a non-competitive, non-chain-terminating inhibitor of the active site polymerase of hepatitis B virus (HBV), thereby inhibiting polymerase activity and HBV viral replication. As a prodrug, the ability to generate the nucleoside triphosphate analog in vivo is directly correlated with its inhibitory activity against HBV polymerase. Therefore, the inventors conducted in vivo PK studies to test the ability of the compounds of the present invention to generate the active nucleoside triphosphate analog. The in vivo PK study model was an in vivo rat liver PK analysis.

[0114] Pharmacokinetic studies of the Example compounds' metabolism in rat liver to produce the active ingredient, clavudine triphosphate, were conducted in rats. Administration was by single oral gavage at a dose of 10 mg / 5 ml / kg. The Example compounds were formulated with 30% PEG-200 and 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Liver samples were collected 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours after administration. For sampling, rats were sacrificed with CO2, and the livers were flushed with ice-cold saline via the hepatic portal vein. The livers were then cut into approximately 0.2-gram pieces, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C. Liver samples were analyzed for the active species, clavudine 5'-triphosphate, by LC-MS / MS.

[0115]

[0116] As can be seen from the test results of the diastereomers prepared in the examples, the concentration of clavudine triphosphate generated by the D-amino acid phosphate compound in the example compounds in hepatocytes is much higher than that of the L-amino acid phosphate isomer (ATI-2173), and also far exceeds the concentration of clavudine in the liver at the same dose, demonstrating extremely high clinical application value.

[0117] The above experimental results show that the compounds of the present invention have the ability to effectively inhibit HBV virus. Compared with the positive control compounds clavulanate or ATI-2173, they show significant superiority in both in vitro and in vivo activity evaluations. The compounds of the present invention do not show cytotoxicity within the tested concentration range and have good safety, and have excellent prospects for the treatment of HBV infection.

[0118] Although the present invention has been described in detail above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the detailed description above, but should be attributed to the claims.
