Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to an α-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivative having an adamantyl group, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Influenza viruses are the main culprit behind annual seasonal influenza (flu) outbreaks and sporadic pandemics, impacting public health and safety systems. Currently, vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza; however, it only provides prevention, while treatment requires medication.

[0003] Currently, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the following treatments: neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors, hemagglutinin (HA) inhibitor arbidol, and RNA polymerase inhibitors favipiravir and mabaloxavir. M2 inhibitors (amantadine and adalimumab) are no longer recommended for clinical use due to drug resistance issues. However, the parasitic nature of influenza viruses and the high variability of their antigens make it difficult for these chemotherapeutic drugs to maintain their effectiveness, leading to varying degrees of drug resistance. Some seasonal influenza A viruses (H1N1) are resistant to oseltamivir and peramivir, and resistant strains of mabaloxavir have also been isolated clinically. Combination therapy with antiviral drugs with different mechanisms of action can enhance treatment efficacy or reduce the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Since the development trend of influenza and viral mutations are still unpredictable, the development of anti-influenza drugs is a hot topic in drug development and represents the first line of defense against influenza in response to potential pandemics.

[0004] The main reason for resistance to amantadine M2 inhibitors is mutations in the transmembrane region of the M2 protein, especially the S31N mutation. Specifically, the mechanism involves the mutation of a serine residue (Ser) on the M2 ion channel to glutamine (Asn), which reduces the size of the drug binding site, preventing the binding of amantadine and rimantadine in the pore and blocking proton conduction. Currently, amantadine inhibitors against M2-S31N resistance have been reported in the literature. These inhibitors were discovered by the DeGrado and Wang research group in the United States, who summarized the pharmacophore model of M2-S31N inhibitors and reported a series of amantadine analogs. The common characteristics of these inhibitors are: a hydrophobic skeleton + methylene bridge + hydrophobic five (or six)-membered aromatic ring.

[0005] From a drug design perspective, adamantane is considered a "lipophilic bullet," which can increase the hydrophobicity and structural stability of drugs. It also lacks rotatable bonds, resulting in only a minimal loss of conformational entropy when binding to target proteins. Furthermore, adamantane derivatives are a popular area of ​​research in antiviral drug development; for example, adamantane derivatives can treat influenza, herpes simplex virus, hepatitis C virus, and HIV.

[0006] Therefore, based on the structural characteristics of M2-S31N inhibitors and adamantane ethylamine reported in the literature, the designed novel adamantane derivatives are expected to be developed into a new generation of M2 inhibitor anti-influenza drugs. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an α-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivative with adamantyl group, its preparation method and application, which has good inhibitory activity against influenza virus.

[0021] In a further technical solution, the molar ratio of α-keto acid 1 to the catalyst in step one is 1:05-1.5, the selected catalyst is EDCI·HCl / DMAP or TBTU, and the solvent is dichloromethane or THF.

[0022] In a further technical solution, the reaction temperature in step two is -78℃, and the reaction time is 3-5 hours.

[0063] In a 100 mL round-bottom flask, perillyl alcohol (456.7 mg, 3 mmol), triphenylphosphine (865.6 mg, 3.3 mmol), and 20 mL of dichloromethane were added. The reaction solution was cooled to 0 °C, and NBS (587.4 mg, 3.3 mmol) was added in portions with magnetic stirring. After the addition was complete, the ice-water bath was removed, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and then n-hexane was added several times. A solid precipitated out. The solid was filtered, and the filtrate was purified under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. Silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane) yielded 464 mg of the brominated product as a colorless liquid, with a yield of 72.0%.

[0097] Experiment 1: In vitro anti-influenza virus activity test

[0098] To evaluate the in vitro anti-influenza virus activity of the synthesized compounds, the following virus strains were selected: amantadine-sensitive virus strain A / Hong Kong / 8 / 68 (H3N2) and amantadine-resistant virus strain A / WS / 33 (H1N1). After amplification in chicken embryos, the median infectious dose (TCID) of these virus strains was determined using the Reed-Muench method. 50 Subsequently, the anti-influenza activity of the test compounds was verified by a CPE inhibition assay on infected MDCK cells. Amantadine (AMD) and oseltamivir phosphate (OSV-P) were dissolved in MEM, and the test drugs were dissolved in DMSO and stored at room temperature.

[0099] (1) Antiviral efficacy test

[0100] Centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 1 minute to remove the drug to the bottom of the tube. Then add 100 μL DMSO and dissolve in MEM culture medium containing 1.5 μg / mL TPCK to achieve the desired concentration. The final DMSO concentration is 0.5%. Wash the 96-well plate monolayer once with PBS and add approximately 100 TCID50.50 100 μL of virus dilution was added to each well and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 2 hours. The virus solution was discarded, and serially diluted drugs (37.6–1.2 μM) were added at 2-fold serial concentrations, with four replicates per concentration. The cells were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 hours. Cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed under a microscope. If all cells in the control group had died, it indicated that the influenza virus had completely infected the cells, causing CPE. The presence of CPE was recorded according to a 6-level standard (as shown in Table 1). The cell culture plate was tapped, and the culture medium was carefully aspirated. 50 μL of 1:10 CCK8 assay reagent was added to each well. The plates were then incubated at 37°C for 2 hours, and the A450 absorbance was measured. The half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of the drug was calculated using Prism non-regression analysis. 50 The results are shown in Table 1.

[0101] (2) Compound toxicity test (MTT method) experimental procedure

[0102] Take healthy MDCK cells at a ratio of 2 × 10⁶ cells per well. 4 MDCK cells were seeded in 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 hours until a monolayer formed. After 24 hours, the culture supernatant was aspirated, and the 96-well plates were washed twice with 50 μL / well sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The compound was then diluted 5-fold with serum-free MEM, and 50 μL / well of the compound was added to each well of the 96-well plate. Cells were cultured at 37°C with CO2. After 48 hours, 5 mg / mL freshly prepared MTT solution was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 4 hours. The dissolution medium was then removed. The absorbance of each well was measured at 490 nm using a CLARIOstar multifunction microplate reader (BMG Labtech, Germany). Formazan crystals were dissolved in DMSO (100 μL / well). Cell viability (%) = OD value of compound well / average OD value of control well. TC of each compound... 50 The values ​​were obtained by analyzing the data using a nonlinear regression model with the software Graph Prism 6, and the results are shown in Table 1.
