Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to, but is not limited to, the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly to a novel cytidine derivative, its pharmaceutical composition, and its uses. Background Technology

[0002] Influenza (flu) is an infectious disease caused by the influenza virus, characterized by high morbidity and mortality. The influenza virus can spread rapidly through the air, causing respiratory infections. Immunocompromised individuals are prone to serious complications such as pneumonia or acute respiratory failure. According to a 2019 report by the World Health Organization, an estimated 1 billion influenza cases occur globally each year, including 3 to 5 million severe cases and 290,000 to 650,000 deaths. While vaccination is an effective means of mitigating influenza outbreaks, vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, those with chronic respiratory diseases, and pregnant women are more susceptible to serious complications and require timely antiviral treatment to reduce this risk. Furthermore, vaccine development is often delayed, and effective antiviral treatment can delay or block viral transmission.

[0003] Although several anti-influenza drugs are currently on the market, such as oseltamivir, zanamivir, peramivir, baloxavir, lanimivir, and favipiravir, which have played a significant role in inhibiting the influenza virus, the development of anti-influenza drugs remains a long and arduous task due to the high variability of the influenza virus, concerns about the emergence of drug-resistant strains or side effects, and the global pandemic of novel influenza viruses with high pathogenicity or lethality. Therefore, the field still desires to develop anti-influenza drugs with novel structures. Summary of the Invention

[0185] Example 4: In vitro anti-influenza virus activity and cytotoxicity assay

[0186] Toxicity determination of the test compound to MDCK:

[0187] Take MDCK cell suspension in logarithmic growth phase (1×10⁻⁶) 5 100 μl of cells (cells / ml) was seeded into 96-well cell culture plates, with 1 × 10⁶ cells seeded per well. 4Cells were cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours, then the DMEM medium containing 2% newborn calf serum was discarded. A series of drug-containing solutions diluted with the same medium were added, with a blank control group (no drug added). Each concentration was tested in triplicate. After 72 hours of drug treatment, the cytopathic effect (CPE) at each concentration was observed and recorded under a microscope ("0": no CPE, "1": CPE 1%–25%, "2": CPE 25%–50%, "3": CPE 50%–75%, "4": CPE 75%–100%). The half-maximal toxic concentration (MCC) of each drug was calculated using the Reed-Muench method. 50 ).

[0188] Assay for the anti-influenza virus activity of the test compound:

[0189] Take MDCK cell suspension in logarithmic growth phase (1×10⁻⁶) 5 100 μl of cells (cells / ml) was seeded into 96-well plates, with a cell count of 1 × 10⁶ cells per well. 4 Cells were cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. After 24 hours of culture, the DMEM medium containing 2% newborn calf serum was discarded, and virus solution (A / Hanfang / 359 / 95(H3N2)) (MOI = 0.1) was added to infect the cells. After 2 hours, the virus solution was discarded, and each well was washed twice with serum-free DMEM medium. Cells were then treated with a series of drug-containing solutions diluted with DMEM medium containing 2% newborn calf serum. A cell control group (cells only, without drug or virus) and a virus control group (cells and virus, without drug) were set up, with 3 replicates for each concentration. Cells were continued to be cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Following drug administration, the degree of cytopathic effect (CPE) at each concentration was observed daily under a microscope. When the virus control group showed four plus signs for cytopathic effect, the results for each concentration were recorded ("0": no CPE; "1": CPE 1%–25%; "2": CPE 25%–50%; "3": CPE 50%–75%; "4": CPE 75%–100%).

[0192] Table 1 Results of anti-H3N2 virus activity assay

[0193]

[0194]

[0195] A comparison of the IC50 data of compounds A and B, and of compounds C and D, indicates that adding a hydroxyl group to the nucleoside base produces a certain degree of enhancement in anti-influenza virus activity, but this effect is not significant. Compound E exhibits very poor anti-influenza virus activity. Unexpectedly, the IC50, TC50, and SI data of compounds A, B, E, and DSA134-26 in Group I, and compounds C, D, E, and DSA134-31 in Group II, show that attaching the 5-position hydroxyl group in the nucleoside sugar ring to the side chain of this invention significantly enhances anti-influenza virus activity with better safety and a higher selectivity index. Some compounds show an increase in anti-influenza virus activity and selectivity index of more than 34 times. The anti-influenza virus activity of other compounds of this invention is significantly better than that of the control compounds. These results suggest that the compounds disclosed in this invention can be used to treat influenza virus infection with lower dosage and fewer side effects.

[0196] Example 5: Lung Virus Titer Test

[0197] Forty female C57BL / 6J mice (6–8 weeks old, 18–20 g) were randomly divided into 8 groups of 5 mice each, designated as Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, Group 5, Group 6, Group 7, and Group 8. Under anesthesia, the animals were inoculated intranasally with a median lethal dose (LD50) of influenza virus (H1N1, A / WSN / 33). Twenty-four hours after inoculation, each group received its corresponding drug. Group 1 (the solvent group) received 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution by gavage; Groups 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 received equimolar doses of the control compounds by gavage (compound A: 15.06 mg / kg; compound B: 15.90 mg / kg; compound C: 13.64 mg / kg). The dosage of compound D was 14.48 mg / kg; the dosage of compound E was 16.77 mg / kg. Groups 7 and 8 were administered the test drugs DSC134-26 and DSC134-31 (equimolar amounts with the control compound, with DSC134-26 at a dosage of 31.72 mg / kg and DSC134-31 at a dosage of 30.30 mg / kg) by gavage, twice daily for 3 consecutive days. Four days after viral infection (3 days after administration), all animals were euthanized, and right lung tissue samples were collected, homogenized, and subjected to TCID45. 50 Virus titer determination. Virus titer results are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0198] The results of the lung virus titer test showed that, compared with the solvent group, the lung tissue virus titers of compounds DSC134-26, DSC134-31, control compound A, control compound B, control compound C, and control compound D were lower, while the lung tissue virus titer of control compound E showed no significant decrease. Compared with control compounds A, B, and E, and compared with control compounds C, D, and E, at equimolar doses, compounds DSC134-26 and DSC134-31 showed significantly lower virus titers, demonstrating superior anti-influenza virus efficacy.
