[0002] Any and all applications claiming foreign or domestic priority, such as those identified in an application data sheet or request filed with this application, are hereby incorporated by reference at 37 CFR 1.57 and Rules 4.18 and 20.6, including U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 265,510 filed on December 16, 2021. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and medicine. The present disclosure relates to compounds that can be used as inhibitors of PD-1, PD-L1 or PD-1 / PD-L1 interactions. Also disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds described herein and uses or methods of using the compounds to treat PD-L1-related diseases, including but not limited to liver disease, cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, viral diseases or hepatitis B. Background Art

[0004] In activated CD4 + and CD8 + The programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint expressed on the surface of T cells controls the inhibitory mechanism to prevent autoimmunity. The engagement of PD-1 with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expressed on a variety of cell types (including macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells and cancer cells) induces T cell exhaustion, resulting in a reduction or loss of effector cytokine production (such as IL-2, TNF-α, IFN-γ) and other inhibitory receptors and immune checkpoints (such as CTLA-4, LAG-3 and BTLA) Upregulation or T cell apoptosis. Many types of cancer show high expression of PD-L1 to escape tumor immune surveillance and are associated with poor prognosis. PD-1-mediated immunosuppression is also associated with some viral infections (such as hepatitis B). There is a continuous need for PD-1 / PD-L1 therapy and its improvement for treating diseases.

[0009] These are further embodiments described in more detail below. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer. HCC can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as alcohol consumption, cirrhosis, and viral infections that cause hepatitis, such as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and hepatitis D virus. Inflammation, fibrosis, and cirrhosis associated with these conditions can induce malignancies in the affected liver cells. HCC has a relatively poor prognosis, with a five-year survival rate of about 30%, depending on whether complete surgical resection of the tumor is possible.

[0011] For early stage disease, surgical resection is used. However, due to diagnostic difficulties, most HCCs are identified in the later stage. At the time of late diagnosis, the tumor is unresectable, and most patients are given systemic treatment. The current standard of care for the front line is a multikinase inhibitor (including, for example, sorafenib and / or lenvatinib). Most patients are refractory or recurrent for these treatments, and experience a second-line therapy with an anti-angiogenic agent (including, for example, Regorafinib, Cabozantinib and / or Ramicirumab) or an immune checkpoint inhibitor (including, for example, nivolumab and / or pembrolizumab). However, most patients do not respond to the first and second therapies, and the clinical benefit is poor, with an overall survival of no more than one year. In addition, there is a lack of biomarker-driven therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more tolerated and effective therapy for the treatment of HCC and related liver diseases.

[0012] HBV is a partially double-stranded circular DNA of about 3.2 kilobase (kb) pairs, and is classified into eight genotypes, i.e., A to H. The HBV replication pathway has been studied in more detail. A portion of the replication includes the formation of a covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) form. The presence of cccDNA causes the risk of the virus reappearing during the entire life span of the host organism. HBV carriers can spread the disease for many years. An estimated 300 million people are infected with hepatitis B virus, and it is estimated that more than 750,000 people die of hepatitis B each year worldwide. In addition, immunosuppressed individuals or individuals undergoing chemotherapy are particularly at risk of HBV infection reactivation. HBV can be acute and / or chronic. Acute HBV infection can be asymptomatic or there is symptomatic acute hepatitis.

[0013] HBV can be transmitted by blood, semen, and / or another body fluid. This can occur through direct blood-to-blood contact, unprotected sexual intercourse, shared needles, and from an infected mother to her baby during the birthing process. HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) is most commonly used to screen for the presence of this infection. Currently available drugs cannot cure HBV and / or HDV infection. Instead, the drugs inhibit the replication of the virus.

[0014] Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is also a DNA virus in the Hepadnaviridae family. HDV can only reproduce when HBV is present. The transmission routes of HDV are similar to those of HBV. The spread of HDV can occur via simultaneous infection with HBV (co-infection) or in addition to chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis B carrier status (superinfection). Compared with HBV infection alone, superinfection and co-infection of HDV both lead to more serious complications. These complications include a greater likelihood of experiencing rapid development of liver failure and cirrhosis in acute infection, with an increased risk of developing liver cancer in chronic infection. Combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis D has the highest mortality rate of 20% among all hepatitis infections. There is currently no treatment or vaccine for hepatitis D.

[0015] Programmed cell death 1 or programmed death 1 (PD-1) is a 268 amino acid long type I transmembrane protein found as a surface marker on T cells and other immune cells. As an immune checkpoint, PD-1 is used to negatively regulate immune responses to prevent autoimmune disorders. PD-1 protein (NCBI accession number NP_005009.2) is expressed by the cluster of differentiation 279 (CD279) gene (NCBI accession number NG_012110.1) or mRNA transcript (NCBI accession number NM_005018.3). In some preferred embodiments, PD-1 is human PD-1 protein, and CD279 is a human CD279 transcript or gene on chromosome 2. It should be understood that when considering nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) or corresponding translated proteins or their sequences, those of ordinary skill in the art will consider that the terms PD-1 and CD279 are generally nominally interchangeable.

[0016] Programmed cell death-ligand 1 or programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), also known as B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1), is a 272 amino acid long type I transmembrane protein found as a surface marker on many different cell types. PD-L1 is the main ligand of PD-1 and leads to inhibition of T cell cytotoxicity and cytokine production. Cancer cells such as HCC cells exploit this immune checkpoint by upregulating PD-L1 expression, resulting in dysfunctional anti-tumor immunity of proximal T cells. Viruses have also been observed to regulate the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway to suppress host immune responses. Hepatitis B virus has been shown to upregulate PD-L1 in infected hepatocytes and PD-1 in associated T cells. PD-L1 protein (NCBI accession number NP_054862.1) is expressed by cluster of differentiation 274 (CD274) transcripts (NCBI accession number NM_014143.4). In some preferred embodiments, PD-L1 is a human PD-L1 protein and CD274 is a human CD274 transcript or gene on chromosome 9. It should be understood that when considering nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) or corresponding translated proteins or their sequences, one of ordinary skill in the art will consider the terms PD-L1 and CD274 to be generally nominally interchangeable.
