Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of medicinal chemistry and biopharmaceuticals. Specifically, the present invention relates to a compound having a novel structure of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and its use in the preparation of a drug for preventing or treating hepatitis virus infection. Background Art

[0002] Chronic hepatitis caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem, with nearly 300 million people infected globally; the incidence of liver cancer caused by HBV is about 8.5 per 100,000. Long-term chronic HBV infection can develop into cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, and the number of deaths caused by complications exceeds 800,000 every year. The main clinical treatment drugs are nucleoside analogs (NAs) and interferons (IFNs). These drugs can improve the progression of HBV-related pathogenesis, reduce the viral load and relieve hepatitis, but there are problems such as a long treatment cycle and drug resistance, and they cannot be completely cured. The main reasons for the difficulty in treating HBV are, firstly, that HBV DNA can be integrated into the host cell DNA after infection; secondly, covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) can generate pregenomic RNA (pgRNA), which can continuously replicate as a template and release HBV to infect new hepatocytes, thus maintaining the chronic infection state and expanding the cccDNA pool. Therefore, adopting a combined drug strategy of "preventing external threats" and "eliminating internal evils" may be a good choice for treating HBV infection. Developing HBV entry inhibitors to prevent new cell infections, and at the same time combining antiviral reverse transcriptase drugs is a powerful means to reduce the cccDNA pool, which is of great significance for treating HBV infection.

[0003] Hepatitis D is an infectious disease caused by hepatitis D virus (HDV) and hepatotropic DNA viruses such as hepatitis B virus. HDV is a defective single-stranded negative-strand RNA virus and must rely on hepatotropic DNA viruses such as HBV to provide its coat for replication. HDV exists in the liver cell nuclei and serum of HDV-infected individuals who are positive for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg). It mainly replicates in hepatocytes. After human infection with HDV, the synthesis of HBV-DNA can be significantly inhibited. The appearance of hepatitis D virus antigen (HDAg) is consistent with the decrease in HBV-DNA in the serum. As HDAg turns negative and anti-HD appears, HBV-DNA returns to the original level. After overlapping infection with HDV and HBV, it can exacerbate liver damage and is prone to develop into chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis and severe hepatitis.

[0004] The sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a functional receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV) / hepatitis D virus (HDV) entry into hepatocytes. It is a transmembrane bile acid transporter expressed on the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes, providing a new target for the development of anti-HBV drugs.

[0005] Currently, there are reports on various compounds targeting NTCP to inhibit HBV infection, including Myrcludex B, taurocholic acid (TCA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and its analogs, dimeric bile acid derivatives (such as DBA-41), irbesartan, ezetimibe, etc. However, only two macromolecules (Myrcludex B and Hepalatide) have entered clinical trials, and no small molecules have entered clinical trials, and most small molecule inhibitors have low activity. The present invention provides a novel NTCP inhibitor, which has very important significance and role for clinical research and treatment of HBV. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Unless otherwise specified, the term "enantiomer" or "optical isomer" refers to stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other.

[0038] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "cis-trans isomers" or "geometric isomers" are caused by the inability of double bonds or single bonds of ring carbon atoms to rotate freely.

[0040] Unless otherwise specified, "(D)" or "(+)" indicates dextrorotation, "(L)" or "(-)" indicates levorotation, and "(DL)" or "(±)" indicates racemization.

[0044] The term "HBcAg" refers to hepatitis B core antigen. HBcAg plays an important role in HBV infection, can reflect the presence of Dane particles in serum and the replication of HBV in the liver, and can cooperate and complement other HBV serological markers.

[0045] The term "Dane particle" refers to the large spherical particle of hepatitis B virus, which is an intact HBV particle with infectivity.

[0046] The term "HBeAg" refers to hepatitis B e antigen, which is a soluble protein in the core particles of hepatitis B virus. Under normal circumstances, HBeAg is buried inside HBcAg. When HBcAg is lysed, HBeAg dissolves into the serum from the virus particles. Its appearance is later than that of HBsAg, but it disappears earlier than HBsAg. Therefore, it is the second serological antigen marker that appears following HBsAg after human infection with HBV.

[0047] The term "HBsAg" refers to hepatitis B surface antigen, which is not a complete hepatitis B virus itself but the outer shell of the hepatitis B virus. It has no infectivity itself but has antigenicity and is only one of the markers of hepatitis B virus infection.

[0198] Example 5 In Vivo Pharmacodynamic Verification Test of the Compounds of the Present Invention

[0199] By constructing a humanized liver mouse model, the compound JH-B10 (Rapavir) was selected for in vivo pharmacodynamic verification.

The compound JH-B10 and DMSO were administered respectively, and the administration dose was 2 mg / kg. The administration scheme was as Figure 4 shown. Three days and 1 hour before HBV infection, both groups of mice were pretreated with one dose of drug. The time of HBV infection was recorded as day 0, and one dose of drug was administered respectively on days 1, 2, 3, and 5, and then once a week (i.e., on days 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, and 50), for a total of 8 weeks of drug administration. Blood was collected weekly (i.e., on days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56) for biochemical analysis. After 8 weeks, the mice were sacrificed and the livers were collected for various index tests. The test results were as Figure 5 shown.

[0201] According to the test results, during the drug administration process, human serum albumin HSA remained stable, and HBV DNA and HBeAg in the serum were significantly inhibited. After drug administration, the relative HBV 3.5-kb RNA level, HBV DNA, and the copy number of HBVcccDNA in the livers of the mice decreased significantly compared with the control group, indicating that JH-B10 had a significant effect on inhibiting HBV infection of hepatocytes. JH-B10 showed good anti-HBV activity at the animal level.
