Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to an inhibitor targeting ribosomal frameshift elements, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus with a linear single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome, approximately 60–140 nm in diameter. Its genome has a complex structure, containing multiple open reading frames (ORFs) that encode various structural and non-structural proteins. These proteins play key roles in viral replication, transcription, assembly, and release.

[0003] Currently, treatment strategies for SARS-CoV-2 mainly involve the development of drugs that directly target viral proteins, such as small molecule drugs targeting the viral 3CLpro protease and RdRp (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase). However, these drugs have some limitations, including controversial clinical efficacy, limited use, risk of drug resistance, and potential toxicity issues. Furthermore, with the continuous mutation of the virus, the efficacy of existing drugs may be further affected. Therefore, finding new drug targets and developing antiviral drugs with novel mechanisms is particularly important.

[0004] In the viral life cycle, the frameshift stimulation element (FSE) is a crucial RNA sequence that regulates the life cycle of coronaviruses and is widely present in various RNA viruses. FSEs induce programmable frameshifts in ribosomes during translation, enabling single mRNAs to encode proteins with distinct functions, thus achieving multidimensional regulation of gene expression. In coronaviruses, FSEs primarily drive differential expression of polyproteins through -1-programmed ribosome frameshifts (-1PRFs), serving as a vital regulatory hub in the viral replication cycle. For example, in the 5′ region of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, the -1PRF allows ribosomes to bypass the stop codon of ORF1a and enter ORF1b to continue encoding proteins, generating two polyprotein precursors, pp1a and pp1ab. These precursors are then cleaved by viral proteases, producing 16 non-structural proteins (NSPs). These NSPs synergistically regulate viral genome replication, mediate host immune escape, and participate in the molecular regulatory network of viral infection and pathogenesis mechanisms. Therefore, FSE plays an irreplaceable role in the replication and spread of coronaviruses and is a key regulatory element in the viral life cycle.

[0005] In the research direction of drug repurposing, multiple research teams are dedicated to exploring the application potential of existing drugs in FSE inhibition. For example, the aminoglycoside antibiotic genimycin has been found to have antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, azithromycin has been shown to reduce -1PRF efficiency by directly binding to the pseudoknot of FSE, preventing the translational conversion of viral proteins from ORF1a to ORF1b, thereby reducing the core components of the viral replication and transcription complex and inhibiting viral replication. However, these compounds discovered through drug repurposing often suffer from significant cytotoxicity, limiting their further application.

[0006] Besides repurposing existing drugs, researchers are also screening a large number of compounds to find small molecules with FSE inhibitory activity. For example, using computer-aided drug design and high-throughput screening techniques, some unmarketed compounds have been found to have potential FSE inhibitory activity. Melafloxacin is one such example, exhibiting strong inhibitory efficacy against -1PRF at the cellular level, while also possessing significant antiviral activity. However, the binding activity of melafloxacin to FSE still needs further investigation, and its exact mechanism of frameshift inhibition remains unclear. Another example is compound KCB261770, which shows significant efficacy in inhibiting -1PRF of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 and is effective against multiple coronaviruses, but its cytotoxicity is relatively high, requiring chemical modification to enhance activity and reduce toxicity.

[0007] Free-element RNA (FSE) targets offer significant advantages as a potential drug target. First, FSEs are highly conserved across various coronaviruses, suggesting that drugs designed based on this target could potentially exhibit broad-spectrum inhibitory effects against different coronaviruses, providing a robust drug reserve to address emerging variants. Second, FSEs are RNA elements, and compared to traditional protein targets, RNA exhibits greater dynamics and structural diversity, offering more opportunities for small molecule drug design. However, RNA-targeted drug development also faces numerous challenges, such as the structural complexity, dynamics, and complex interactions with proteins. Nevertheless, recent advancements in RNA structure identification and high-throughput screening technologies have led to progress in the development of small molecule inhibitors targeting RNA.

[0008] In summary, FSE, as a key viral RNA element, plays a crucial role in the life cycle of coronaviruses and is a highly promising antiviral drug target. Developing small-molecule inhibitors targeting FSE not only provides a new strategy for the treatment of COVID-19 but may also have broad-spectrum therapeutic effects against diseases caused by other coronaviruses, possessing significant scientific and clinical application value. Therefore, in-depth research into the structure and function of FSE, exploring its interaction mechanism with small-molecule inhibitors, and designing and developing highly effective FSE small-molecule inhibitors are of significant strategic importance for addressing current and future coronaviruses.

[0122] Experimental Example 1

[0123] The construction of the FSE lentiviral vector (Fluc-FSE-Rluc) involved in this experiment was commissioned to Yunzhou Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0124] Lentiviral transduction: One day before transduction, HEK293T cells were injected with 5–8.5 × 10⁻⁶ cells. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 100 cells / well into 12-well plates and cultured in a cell culture incubator. At transduction, when the cell density reached 20-30%, 0.5 ml of DMEM medium was added to each well. For lentivirus transduction, the MOI of HEK293T cells was set to 8, and Polybrene (working concentration 5 μg / ml) was added simultaneously. 24 hours after transduction, the medium in the wells was aspirated and replaced with fresh DMEM medium. 48 hours after transduction, selection was performed using 2 μg / mL Puromycin, continuing selection for 3-5 days until the blank cells underwent complete apoptosis while the experimental group cell numbers remained stable.

[0125] Cell culture: Cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 1 μg / mL Puromycin, 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin and grown at 37°C and 5% CO2.

[0126] Experimental detection: Chemiluminescence assays were performed using a glow-type dual-luciferase reporter gene assay kit, following the kit's instructions. The experimental group ratios were calculated as follows: Experimental group ratio = (Experimental group F - Background F) / (Experimental group R - Background R), Control group ratio = (Control group F - Background F) / (Control group R - Background R), and the fold change was calculated as: Experimental group ratio / Control group ratio.

[0129]

[0130]

[0131]

[0132] aPRF refers to the ribosome frameshift efficiency, which is the ratio of the experimental group to the control group. The smaller the value, the better the inhibitory effect of the compound on the frameshift. The data in the table were obtained from a dual-fluorescent reporter gene assay and are the average values ​​of three independent replicates.

[0133] Compound b exhibits cytotoxicity, and the test results are not entirely accurate.

[0134] As can be seen from Table 1, the compounds prepared in this invention exhibited inhibitory effects on ribosome frameshift at both 10 μM and 20 μM concentrations; the lower the value, the more significant the inhibitory effect.

[0135] Experimental Example 2

[0136] SPR combined experiment

[0137] In this experiment, to prevent RNA degradation, all water and equipment were treated with DEPC. First, the 5' end of the FSE sequence was biotin-labeled and immobilized on the SA chip using a biotin-streptavidin method, with a target response value of approximately 700 RU. For the reference lane, only the chip surface was activated and sealed; FSE immobilization was not performed.

[0138] The buffer solution used in the experiment was: 50 mM HEPES, 100 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, pH 7.5. Solutions of compound 1 with different concentration gradients containing 5% DMSO were prepared, ranging from 0.2 μmol / L to 12.5 μmol / L (0.20 μM, 0.39 μM, 0.78 μM, 1.56 μM, 3.13 μM, 6.25 μM, and 12.5 μM, respectively), while ensuring that the DMSO content in the buffer solution was maintained at 5%. The compounds of different concentrations were sequentially passed through the chip surface for analysis. If a compound interacts with the FSE, a binding-dissociation signal will be generated on the SPR curve; if there is no interaction, no response signal will be generated.

[0139] After each injection, the chip was rinsed with a buffer solution to regenerate it. Binding-dissociation data were fitted using the Hill equation to calculate the dissociation equilibrium constant, thereby assessing the binding affinity of the compound to the FSE. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The binding behavior between compound 1 and SARS-CoV-2FSE was demonstrated. Figure 1 In this study, compounds of different concentrations (0.20–12.5 μM) were sequentially flowed through the surface of an SA chip immobilized with Fiber Optic Sediment (FSE). The real-time recorded SPR response curves showed a concentration-dependent binding-dissociation process. As the compound concentration increased, the response value (RU) gradually increased, indicating a specific binding between the compound and the FSE, and that the degree of binding increased with increasing concentration. Figure 2 The corresponding concentration-response fitting curve is shown. The equilibrium binding response value was fitted using the Hill equation, and the apparent dissociation constant (KD) of compound 1 with FSE was calculated to be 4.99 μM, indicating that the compound has moderate affinity and can stably bind with FSE.

[0140] Experimental Example 3

[0141] In this experiment, VERO E6 cells were used to evaluate the antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 (wild-type). First, VERO E6 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and cultured to the logarithmic growth phase. The cells were then infected with SARS-CoV-2 (WT) virus. After infection, the cells were cultured for 48 hours, and compound 1 was added at concentrations ranging from 0.49 to 120 μmol / L (0.49 μmol / L, 1.48 μmol / L, 4.44 μmol / L, 13.3 μmol / L, 40 μmol / L, 120 μmol / L). Following treatment, the antiviral effect was assessed using N protein immunofluorescence. Specifically, after fixing and permeabilizing the cells, they were incubated with a specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 N protein antibody, followed by the addition of a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody. Cell images were then observed and captured using a fluorescence microscope. The activity of the drug in inhibiting viral infection was evaluated by analyzing the fluorescence intensity of the N protein. Figure 3 This study presents the antiviral activity evaluation results of compound 1 against SARS-CoV-2 (wild-type) infected VERO E6 cells. The degree of viral infection was quantified using N protein immunofluorescence assay. The inhibition rate was calculated and dose-response curves were plotted by analyzing the changes in the intensity of the N protein fluorescence signal after treatment with different concentrations of the drug. The results show that compound 1 exhibits a dose-dependent antiviral effect, with an IC50 value of [missing information]. 50 The value was 6.75±2.41μM, indicating that it has certain anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity at the cellular level.
