Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a carbonyl-substituted pyrimidine HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of organic compound synthesis and pharmaceutical application technology. Background Technology
[0002] AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a major infectious disease primarily caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) is an asymmetric heterodimer composed of the p66 and p51 subunits, formed by the transcription and translation of the pol gene in the HIV-1 genome. Its core function is to catalyze the synthesis of double-stranded viral DNA using single-stranded viral RNA as a template, a crucial step in the HIV-1 replication cycle. As a key enzyme in the HIV-1 replication cycle, reverse transcriptase has become a preferred target for anti-AIDS drug development due to its significant advantages, such as its clearly defined three-dimensional crystal structure and the absence of its homologous enzyme in the human body.
[0003] Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) targeting this target have the advantages of high efficacy, low toxicity, and high selectivity. These inhibitors do not require intracellular phosphorylation to obtain their active form, therefore their activity is unaffected by phosphorylation conversion rate, conversion speed, or post-conversion stability. Furthermore, these inhibitors can bind to extracellular (e.g., in plasma) reverse transcriptases, reducing the activity of free viruses and thus weakening viral infectivity. In addition, NNRTIs possess structural diversity and can synergize with other drugs, making them an indispensable component of antiretroviral therapy.
[0004] Currently, six non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection, and three other NNRTIs have been approved for marketing in other countries and regions. However, after several years of clinical use, many of these drugs have gradually revealed problems such as drug resistance, toxic side effects, and poor pharmacokinetic properties.
[0005] Therefore, the development of a new generation of NNRTIs with high drug resistance and good safety remains a long and arduous task. The early development of new, highly effective, and low-toxicity anti-AIDS drugs with independent intellectual property rights in my country is of great significance for clinical treatment.

[0107] Experimental Example: In vitro anti-HIV-1 activity experiment
[0108] Experimental Example 1: Anti-HIV-1 activity and cytotoxicity of the target compound at the cellular level
[0109] Experimental Principle
[0110] TZM-bl cells carry a luciferase (Luc) reporter gene, which is regulated by the tat element of HIV-1 and can express luciferase under the action of the Tat protein. When TZM-bl cells are infected with HIV-1, the Tat protein produced by the virus upregulates the luciferase reporter gene in the cells, resulting in high luciferase expression. This can then be detected using specific luciferase detection reagents to assess viral infection. When a target compound or positive control drug is added, the viral replication cycle is blocked, and the amount of Tat protein produced decreases, leading to a reduction in the expression level of luciferase in TZM-bl cells, thus reflecting the inhibitory effect of the inhibitor on the virus.
[0111] Experimental materials
[0112] The target compounds, positive control drugs nevirapine (NVP), efavirenz (EFV), ectavirine (ETR), and zidovudine (AZT), TZM-bl cells, 2,3-di-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazole-5-carboxaniline (XTT), and HIV-1 NL4-3 wild-type strain.
[0113] Experimental methods
[0114] Cell viability assay method (EC) 50 TCID values: The anti-HIV-1 activity of the test samples at the cellular level was reflected by the degree of reduction in luciferase reporter gene expression after infection of TZM-bl cells with different viruses (wild-type or mutant strains). First, 200-fold TCID values were applied. 50 HIV-1 at various concentrations, test samples at various concentrations (maximum concentration 10 μg / mL, serially diluted 8 times in 4-fold increments), and TZM-bl cells (10,000 cells) were mixed and incubated in a 96-well black cell culture plate (Corning-Costar) in a total volume of 150 μL of growth medium. Then, one set of eight wells was incubated with both cells and virus (virus control group), while another set of eight wells was incubated with only cells (blank control group). After 48 hours of incubation, the medium was removed from each well, and 100 μL of Promega Bright-Glo luciferase assay reagent was added to the cells. After incubation at room temperature for 2 minutes, luciferase activity in the test wells was measured using a Perkin-Elmer Victor X-ray spectrophotometer. 50% inhibitory concentration (EC50) was used. 50 The RLU value is defined as the concentration of a test sample that results in a 50% reduction in the RLU value compared to the virus control well after subtracting the RLU value of the blank control well.
[0115] Cytotoxicity assay method (CC) 50 The cytotoxicity of the test samples was determined by the 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazole-5-carboxyaniline (XTT) colorimetric method. First, equal volumes of TZM-bl cells (5 × 10⁻⁶ cells per mL) were seeded. 5 100 μL of test samples at different concentration gradients were added to 96-well plates containing 100 cells. After incubation at 37 °C for 4 days, 50 μL of 0.02 μM methyl phenazine sulfate XTT solution was added to the 96-well plates, and after another 4 hours of incubation, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured. 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC) 50 The value is defined as the concentration of the test sample that causes a 50% reduction in cell viability.

Cellular activity (ECG) was measured. 50 ), cytotoxicity (CC) 50 The selectivity index (SI) and the selectivity index are shown in Table 1.

[0123] Experiment Example 2: HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitory Activity Experiment
[0124] Experimental Principle
[0125] ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a method used to test the inhibitory activity (IC50) of a target compound against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). 50 (Value). During reverse transcription, RT uses Poly(A) as a template and utilizes dNTPs simultaneously labeled with biotin and digoxigenin as raw materials to introduce primer oligo(dT). 15 DNA strand elongation was performed. After the synthesis of the DNA:RNA hybrid strand was completed, the hybrid strand containing biotin and digoxigenin-labeled substrates could firmly bind to a microplate coated with streptavidin. Subsequently, horseradish peroxidase-conjugated digoxigenin antibody was added, which bound to the hybrid strand attached to the microplate. Finally, a colorimetric reaction was generated by adding the horseradish peroxidase substrate ABTS, and the absorbance value of the color product was detected using a microplate reader. The inhibition rate of reverse transcriptase at each concentration of the test sample was calculated, and the IC50 of its enzyme-inhibiting activity was thus determined. 50 value.
[0126] Experimental materials
[0127] Target compound, positive control drugs nevirapine (NVP), efavirenz (EFV), ectavirine (ETR), and rilpivirine (RPV), HIV-1 reverse transcriptase kit (Roche, Switzerland), micropipette, and analytical grade DMSO.
[0128] Experimental methods
[0129] The HIV-1 RT inhibitory activity was determined using a reverse transcriptase kit. First, the stock solution of the test compound was serially diluted with lysis buffer to prepare five sample solutions of different concentrations. Then, the reverse transcriptase was prepared using triple-distilled water and lysis buffer. Next, 20 μL of each concentration of sample solution and 20 μL of the reverse transcriptase solution were added to 20 μL of a reaction mixture containing primers, template, and substrate, and incubated together at 37 °C for 1 hour. Then, 60 μL of the incubated sample solution was transferred to a 96-well plate coated with streptavidin and incubated at 37 °C for another hour to ensure strong binding of the biotin- and digoxigenin-labeled hybrid strands to streptavidin. Subsequently, the reaction wells were rinsed with washing buffer (5 × 250 μL) to thoroughly remove unbound substrate. Then, 200 μL of horseradish peroxidase solution conjugated with digoxigenin antibody was added, and the mixture was incubated at 37 °C for 1 hour to ensure strong binding of the digoxigenin antibody to the digoxigenin-labeled hybrid strand. The wells were then rinsed again with washing buffer (5 × 250 μL) to thoroughly remove excess horseradish peroxidase. Finally, 200 μL of the horseradish peroxidase substrate ABTS was added to the wells, and the absorbance of the color product was measured using a microplate reader at a measurement wavelength of 405 nm and a reference wavelength of 490 nm. Similarly, in addition to the test sample group, parallel measurements were performed on the negative control group (no test sample, with reverse transcriptase) and the blank control group (no test sample, no reverse transcriptase).
[0130] Inhibition rate calculation formula: Inhibition rate % × 100%
[0131] The inhibition rate of the test sample against RT at different concentrations can be calculated using this formula, and then the compound concentration corresponding to a 50% inhibition rate of RT can be obtained, which is its IC50 inhibitory activity. 50 Value.
