Abstract
Description
[0001] Related applications This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 540,486, filed September 26, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] Statement on Federally Funded Research This invention was completed with government support, under grant numbers R01AI145542, R01AI158160, and R01AI163042, granted by the National Institutes of Health. The government holds certain rights to this invention. Background Technology
[0003] Nucleoside compounds and their prodrug derivatives play an important role in medical applications, especially in the treatment of viral infections and cancer. For example, tenofovir and tenofovir alafenamide have been effective in the treatment and prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
[0004] The use of nucleoside compounds presents several challenges. They require host or viral kinase-mediated conversion to their therapeutically active triphosphate form, which is then incorporated into extended DNA or RNA, leading to chain termination. Furthermore, the catalytic phosphorylation efficiency of synthetic nucleosides is slow and low. In addition, conventional nucleoside administration suffers from limitations such as variable pharmacokinetic characteristics, short half-lives, poor physicochemical properties (limiting their conversion into long-acting drugs), limited cellular and tissue penetration, and systemic toxicity.
[0005] Therefore, there is a high medical need to develop new drug delivery systems that improve the intracellular delivery of preactivated nucleosides. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleobases play important roles in medical applications, such as the treatment of viral infections, cancer, and blood clotting disorders. However, the use of these compounds presents several challenges, including variable pharmacokinetic characteristics, short half-lives, poor physicochemical properties (limiting their use as long-acting drugs), limited cell and tissue penetration, poor biodistribution, and systemic toxicity. Furthermore, frequent administration of high doses is often required to maintain therapeutically effective drug concentrations. Therefore, there is a significant medical need to develop novel drug delivery systems that improve the intracellular delivery of nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleobases.
[0040] As generally described herein, this disclosure provides phosphate prodrugs of nucleosides, nucleotides or nucleobases or their analogues, nanoparticles comprising said prodrugs, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said prodrugs, and uses of said prodrugs, nanoparticles and pharmaceutical compositions for treating medical conditions such as viral infections, cancer and blood clotting disorders.

[0050] The definitions of specific functional groups and chemical terms will be described in more detail below. Chemical elements are determined based on the Periodic Table of Elements and the CAS version. Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (Handbook of Chemistry and Physics), 75 th Ed., inside cover; the definition of specific functional groups is generally based on the description therein. Furthermore, the general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional groups and reactions, are described in Thomas Sorrell's work. Organic Chemistry (Organic Chemistry), University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Smith and March, March’s Advanced Organic Chemistry (March Advanced Organic Chemistry), 5 th Edition (5th Edition), John Wiley&Sons, Inc., New York, 2001; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations (Comprehensive Organic Transformation), VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989; and Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis (Some modern organic synthesis methods), 3 rd Edition (3rd edition), Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987.
[0051] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and can therefore exist in various isomeric forms, such as enantiomers or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein may be in the form of a single enantiomer, diastereomer, or geometric isomer, or may be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures rich in one or more stereoisomers. Isomers can be separated from the mixture by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis. See, for example, Jacques et al. Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Enantiomers, racemates, and resolution) (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds(Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds) (McGraw–Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions (Resolving Agents and Optical Resolving Tables) p. 268 (ELEliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). This disclosure also includes compounds described herein as a single isomer essentially free of other isomers, or mixtures of various isomers.
[0052] The pure enantiomers used herein are substantially free of other enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound (i.e., enantiomer excess). In other words, the "S" type compound is substantially free of the "R" type compound, and therefore, is in excess of the "R" type enantiomer. The terms "enantiomer pure" or "pure enantiomer" mean that the compound contains more than 75% by weight, more than 80% by weight, more than 85% by weight, more than 90% by weight, more than 91% by weight, more than 92% by weight, more than 93% by weight, more than 94% by weight, more than 95% by weight, more than 96% by weight, more than 97% by weight, more than 98% by weight, more than 98.5% by weight, more than 99% by weight, more than 99.2% by weight, more than 99.5% by weight, more than 99.6% by weight, more than 99.7% by weight, more than 99.8% by weight, or more than 99.9% by weight of enantiomers. In some embodiments, the weight is calculated based on the total weight of all enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound.
[0053] In the compositions provided herein, the enantiomerically pure compound can coexist with other active or inactive ingredients. For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising an enantiomerically pure R compound may contain, for example, about 90% excipients and about 10% enantiomerically pure R compound. In some embodiments, the enantiomerically pure R compound in such compositions may, for example, contain at least about 95% by weight of R compound and at most about 5% by weight of S compound, based on the total weight of the compounds. For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising an enantiomerically pure S compound may contain, for example, about 90% excipients and about 10% enantiomerically pure S compound. In some embodiments, the enantiomerically pure S compound in such compositions may, for example, contain at least about 95% by weight of S compound and at most about 5% by weight of R compound, based on the total weight of the compounds. In some embodiments, the active ingredient may be formulated to be virtually free of or completely free of excipients or carriers.
[0054] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein comprise one or more isotopic substitutions. For example, H can be present in any isotopic form, including 1 H, 2H (D or deuterium) and 3 H (T or tritium); C can exist in any isotopic form, including 12 C 13 C and 14 C and O can exist in any isotopic form, including 16 O and 18 O; F can exist in any isotopic form, including 18 F and 19 F; etc. Isotope-labeled compounds (e.g., compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by methods similar to those described in the accompanying examples, using a suitable isotope-labeling reagent instead of a previously used unlabeled reagent. Suitable isotopes that may be added to the compounds of this application include, but are not limited to: 2 H (also written as D, representing deuterium) 3 H (also written as T, representing tritium) 11 C 13 C 14 C 13 N、 15 N、 15 O、 17 O、 18 O、 18 F, 35 S, 36 Cl、 82 Br、 75 Br、 76 Br、 77 Br、 123 I, 124 I, 125 I and 131 I.
[0055] The description of compounds in this disclosure is limited by the principles of chemical bonding known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, when a group is substituted by one or more of a plurality of substituents, the choice of these substitutions must conform to the principles of chemical bonding, and the resulting compound must not be inherently unstable, or known to those skilled in the art as potentially unstable under environmental conditions (e.g., aqueous, neutral, and several known physiological conditions). For example, heterocyclic groups are linked to the rest of the molecule via cyclic heteroatoms according to the principles of chemical bonding known to those skilled in the art, thereby avoiding inherently unstable compounds.
[0056] It should also be understood that the terms “group” and “base” used in this article are interchangeable.
[0057] When listing a range of values, the purpose is to include every value within that range and its subranges. For example, "C 1-6"Alkyl" is intended to include C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C 1–6 C 1–5 C 1–4 C 1–3 C 1–2 C 2–6 C 2–5 C 2–4 C 2–3 C 3–6 C 3–5 C 3–4 C 4–6 C 4–5 and C 5–6 alkyl.

[0130] Pharmaceutical Composition The compositions and methods of this application can be used to treat individuals in need. In some embodiments, the individual is a mammal such as a human or a non-human mammal. When administered to an animal (such as a human), the composition or compound is preferably administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition, for example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of this application and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are well known in the art, including, for example, aqueous solutions (such as water or physiologically buffered saline) or other solvents or media (such as glycols, glycerols, oils (such as olive oil), or injectable organic esters). In a preferred embodiment, when such pharmaceutical compositions are used for human administration, particularly for invasive routes of administration (i.e., routes of transport or diffusion bypassing the epithelial barrier, such as injection or implantation), the aqueous solution is pyrogen-free or substantially pyrogen-free. For example, excipients may be selected to achieve delayed drug release or selective targeting of one or more cells, tissues, or organs. The pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of dosage units, such as tablets, capsules (including powdered capsules and gelatin capsules), granules, lyophilized formulations for reconstitution, powders, solutions, syrups, suppositories, injections, etc. This composition may also be present in transdermal delivery systems, such as skin patches. It may also be present in solutions suitable for topical application, such as eye drops.
[0131] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may contain physiologically acceptable substances, for example, substances used to stabilize compounds (such as those in this application), increase their solubility, or increase their absorption. Such physiologically acceptable substances include, for example, carbohydrates such as glucose, sucrose, or dextran; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or glutathione; chelating agents, low molecular weight proteins, or other stabilizers or excipients. For example, the choice of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier (including physiologically acceptable substances) depends on the route of administration of the composition. The formulation or pharmaceutical composition may be a self-emulsifying drug delivery system or a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system. The pharmaceutical composition (formulation) may also be a liposome or other polymer matrix, which may contain compounds such as those in this application. For example, liposomes containing phospholipids or other lipids are non-toxic, physiologically acceptable, and metabolizable carriers, and their preparation and administration are relatively simple.
[0132] As used in this article, "pharmaceutically acceptable" means compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms that, to a reasonable extent of medical judgment, are suitable for use in human and animal tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, or other problems or complications, and have a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0133] The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” as used in this article refers to pharmaceutically acceptable materials, compositions, or media, such as liquid or solid fillers, diluents, excipients, solvents, or encapsulating materials. Each carrier must be “acceptable,” meaning it is compatible with other components in the formulation and will not cause harm to the patient. Some examples of materials that can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars, such as lactose, glucose, and sucrose; (2) starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, and cellulose acetate; (4) tragacanth gum powder; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) excipients, such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; (9) oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, and corn oil. Rice oil and soybean oil; (10) glycols, such as propylene glycol; (11) polyols, such as glycerol, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; (12) esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; (13) agar; (14) buffers, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; (15) alginic acid; (16) pyrogen-free water; (17) isotonic saline; (18) Ringer's solution; (19) ethanol; (20) phosphate buffer solution; and (21) other non-toxic compatible substances used in pharmaceutical preparations.
[0134] The pharmaceutical composition (formulation) may be administered to a subject via any of a variety of routes of administration, including, for example, oral (e.g., by gavage in aqueous or non-aqueous or suspension form, tablets, capsules (including powdered capsules and gelatin capsules), boluses, powders, granules, pastes, for use on the tongue); absorption via the oral mucosa (e.g., sublingual absorption); rectally, rectally, or vaginally (e.g., suppositories, creams, or foams); parenteral administration (including intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, or intrathecal administration, e.g., as a sterile solution or suspension); nasal administration; intraperitoneal administration; subcutaneous administration; transdermal administration (e.g., patches for use on the skin); and topical administration (e.g., creams, ointments, or sprays for use on the skin, or as eye drops). The compound may also be formulated as an inhalation formulation. In some embodiments, the compound may simply be dissolved or suspended in sterile water. Detailed information regarding suitable routes of administration and applicable compositions can be found, for example, in U.S. Patents 6,110,973, 5,763,493, 5,731,000, 5,541,231, 5,427,798, 5,358,970 and 4,172,896 and the patents referenced therein.

The amount of active ingredient that can be bound to a carrier material to form a single dosage form will vary depending on the subject receiving treatment and the specific route of administration. Generally, the amount of active ingredient that can be bound to a carrier material to form a single dosage form is the amount of the compound that produces the therapeutic effect. Generally, on a 100% basis, this amount is about 1% to about 99% of the active ingredient, preferably about 5% to about 70% of the active ingredient, and most preferably about 10% to about 30% of the active ingredient.
[0136] Methods for preparing these formulations or compositions include the following steps: combining an active compound (e.g., the compound of this application) with a carrier and optionally one or more auxiliary components. Generally, the formulation is prepared by uniformly and tightly combining the compound of this application with a liquid carrier or a finely dispersed solid carrier, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.
[0137] Formulations of this application suitable for oral administration may be capsules (including powdered capsules and gelatin capsules), caches, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavoring matrix, typically sucrose and gum arabic or tragacanth gum), lyophilized forms, powders, granules, or solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids, or oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, or elixirs or syrups, or flavoring pastes (using an inert matrix, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and gum arabic), and / or mouthwashes, each containing a predetermined amount of the compound of this application as an active ingredient. The composition or compound may also be administered in bolus, electuary, or paste form.
[0138] To prepare solid dosage forms (capsules (including powdered capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets, pills, sugar-coated tablets, powders, granules, etc.) for oral administration, the active ingredient is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or any of the following components: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and / or silicate; (2) binders, such as carboxymethyl cellulose, alginate, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and / or gum arabic; (3) humectants, such as glycerin; (4) disintegrants, such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato starch or cassava starch, alginate, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retardants. Agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption enhancers, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (7) wetting agents, such as cetyl alcohol and glyceryl monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite; (9) lubricants, such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate and mixtures thereof; (10) complexing agents, such as modified and unmodified cyclodextrin; and (11) coloring agents. For capsules (including powdered capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets and pills, pharmaceutical compositions may also contain buffers. Similar types of solid compositions may also be used as fillers for soft-filled gelatin capsules and hard-filled gelatin capsules, using excipients such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol.
[0139] Tablets can be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more excipients. Compression tablets can be prepared using binders (e.g., gelatin or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), lubricants, inert diluents, preservatives, disintegrants (e.g., sodium starch glycolate or croscarmellose sodium), surfactants, or dispersants. Molded tablets can be made by molding a mixture of powdered compounds wetted with an inert liquid diluent in a suitable machine.
[0140] Tablets and other solid dosage forms of pharmaceutical compositions, such as sugar-coated tablets, capsules (including powdered capsules and gelatin capsules), pills, and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulation field. They may also be formulated to provide a slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein, for example using varying proportions of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose to provide a desired release profile, other polymer matrices, liposomes, and / or microspheres. They may be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial trap filter or by incorporating a sterilizing agent in the form of a sterile solid composition, which may be dissolved immediately in sterile water or some other sterile injectable medium before use. These compositions may also optionally contain light-blocking agents and may be compositions that release the active ingredient only or preferentially in specific portions of the gastrointestinal tract and optionally in a delayed manner. Examples of usable encapsulation compositions include polymers and waxes. If suitable, the active ingredient may also be in a microencapsulated form and have one or more of the excipients described above.
[0141] Liquid dosage forms suitable for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, lyophilized formulations for reconstitution, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, liquid dosage forms may also contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water or other solvents, cyclodextrins and their derivatives, solubilizers and emulsifiers, such as ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, oils (particularly cottonseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil, germ oil, olive oil, castor oil, and sesame oil), glycerin, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and sorbitan fatty acid esters and mixtures thereof.
[0142] In addition to inert diluents, oral compositions may also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifiers and suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, coloring agents, fragrances and preservatives.
[0143] In addition to active compounds, suspensions may also contain suspending agents such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and dehydrated sorbitol esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum hydroxide, bentonite, agar and tragacanth gum, and mixtures thereof.
[0144] Pharmaceutical compositions for rectal, vaginal, or urethral administration can be formulated as suppositories, which can be prepared by mixing one or more active compounds with one or more suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers, such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, suppository wax, or salicylates. The suppositories are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature, and thus melt and release the active compounds within the rectal or vaginal cavity.
[0145] Formulations of pharmaceutical compositions for oral application may be presented in the form of mouthwash, oral spray, or oral ointment.
[0146] Alternatively or additionally, compositions may be formulated for delivery via catheters, stents, guidewires, or other endoluminal devices. Delivery via such devices may be particularly suitable for delivery to the bladder, urethra, ureter, rectum, or intestine.
[0147] Preparations suitable for vaginal application also include suppositories, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or sprays containing suitable carriers known in the art.
[0148] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal application include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches, and inhalers. Active compounds may be mixed under aseptic conditions with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and any necessary preservatives, buffers, or propellants.
[0149] Ointments, pastes, creams, and gels may contain excipients in addition to active compounds, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starches, tragacanth gum, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycol, silicones, bentonite, silicic acid, talc, and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
[0150] In addition to the active compound, powders and aerosols may contain excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicate, and polyamide powders or mixtures thereof. Aerosols may also contain conventional propellants such as chlorofluorocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons such as butane and propane.
[0151] An additional advantage of transdermal patches is the controlled release of the compounds described herein into the body. Such dosage forms can be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the active compounds in a suitable medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compounds through the skin. The rate of this flux can be controlled by providing a rate-controlled membrane or by dispersing the compounds in a polymer matrix or gel.
[0152] Ophthalmic preparations, ointments, powders, solutions, etc., are also within the scope of this application. Exemplary ophthalmic preparations are described in U.S. Patent Publications 2005 / 0080056, 2005 / 0059744, 2005 / 0031697, and 2005 / 004074, and U.S. Patent No. 6,583,124, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Liquid ophthalmic preparations may, if desired, have properties similar to, or be compatible with, tears, aqueous humor, or vitreous fluid. A preferred route of administration is topical application (e.g., topical application, such as eye drops, or application via an implant).
[0153] The phrases “parenteral administration” and “administered via a parenteral route” as used in this article refer to administration methods that differ from intravenous and local administration, and are usually administered by injection, including but not limited to intravenous, intramuscular, intra-arterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, tracheal, subcutaneous, subepidermal, intra-articular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, and intrasternal injections and infusions.
[0154] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration contain one or more active compounds and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders that can be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just before use. They may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostatic agents, solutes or suspending agents or thickeners that make the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient.
[0155] Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers that may be used in the pharmaceutical compositions of this application include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, etc.) and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters (such as ethyl oleate). For example, appropriate flowability can be maintained by using coating materials such as lecithin, maintaining the desired particle size in the case of dispersions, and using surfactants.
[0156] These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifiers, and dispersants. By adding various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, and phenolic sorbic acid, protection against microbial activity can be ensured. The addition of isotonic agents, such as sugars and sodium chloride, to the composition may also be desirable. Furthermore, by adding substances that delay absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin, prolonged absorption of injectable drug formulations can be achieved.
[0157] In some cases, to prolong the effect of a drug, it is necessary to slow its absorption after subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be achieved by using a liquid suspension of a poorly water-soluble crystalline or amorphous substance. The absorption rate of the drug depends on its dissolution rate, which in turn may depend on the crystal size and crystal form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of parenteral drug forms can be achieved by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oily medium.
[0158] Injectable reservoir formulations are made by forming a microencapsulated matrix of the subject compound within a biodegradable polymer (e.g., polylactide-polyglycolic acid). The drug release rate can be controlled depending on the drug-to-polymer ratio and the properties of the specific polymer used. Other examples of biodegradable polymers include polyorthoesters and polyanhydrides. Reservoir injectable formulations are also prepared by encapsulating the drug in tissue-compatible liposomes or microemulsions.
[0159] For use in the methods of this application, the active compound may be used on its own or as a pharmaceutical composition, for example, the pharmaceutical composition containing 0.1% to 99.5% (more preferably 0.5% to 90%) of the active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0160] Delivery methods can also be provided through refillable or biodegradable devices. In recent years, various sustained-release polymer devices have been developed and tested in vivo for the controlled delivery of drugs, including protein biopharmaceuticals. A variety of biocompatible polymers (including hydrogels), both biodegradable and non-biodegradable, can be used to form implants for the sustained release of compounds at specific target sites.
[0161] The actual dose level of the active ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition can be altered to obtain an amount of active ingredient that effectively achieves the therapeutic response required for a particular patient, composition, and method of administration without causing toxicity to the patient.
[0162] The selected dose level will depend on a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound or combination of compounds or its esters, salts or amides used, the route of administration, the time of administration, the excretion rate of the specific compound used, the duration of treatment, other drugs, compounds and / or materials used in combination with the specific compound used, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and medical history of the patient being treated, and similar factors well known in the medical field.
[0163] Physicians with general skills in the field can easily determine and prescribe an effective therapeutic dose of the required pharmaceutical composition. For example, a physician may start with a dose of the pharmaceutical composition or compound below the level required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dose until the desired effect is achieved. “Therapeutic effective dose” refers to the concentration of the compound sufficient to cause the desired therapeutic effect. It is generally understood that the effective dose of a compound will vary depending on the subject’s weight, sex, age, and medical history. Other factors that may affect the effective dose may include, but are not limited to, the severity of the patient’s condition, the condition being treated, the stability of the compound, and (if necessary) other types of therapeutic agents administered with the compound of this application. A larger total dose can be delivered by administering the drug multiple times. Methods for determining efficacy and dosage are known to those skilled in the art (Isselbacher et al. (1996) Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 13th ed., 1814–1882, which are incorporated herein by reference).
[0164] Generally, the appropriate daily dose of the active compound used in the compositions and methods of this application refers to the amount of the lowest dose of the compound that effectively produces a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will typically depend on the factors mentioned above.
[0165] If desired, the effective daily dose of the active compound can be administered in one, two, three, four, five, six, or more sub-dose intervals throughout the day, optionally in unit dose form. In some embodiments of this application, the active compound can be administered two or three times daily. In a preferred embodiment, the active compound is administered once daily.
[0166] Patients receiving this treatment are any animals in need of treatment, including primates, and especially humans.
[0167] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are for long-term administration (“long-term administration”). As used herein, “long-term administration” means administration of the compound, nanoparticles, or pharmaceutical composition over an extended period of time (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, etc.) or continuously indefinitely (e.g., for the remainder of the subject's life). In some embodiments, the compound, nanoparticles, or pharmaceutical composition is administered once every 1 to 12 months. In some embodiments, long-term administration is intended to provide a constant level of the compound in the blood, for example, to provide a constant level of the compound in the blood within a therapeutic window over an extended period.
[0168] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are presented in unit dose form to facilitate accurate administration. As used herein, the term "unit dose form" refers to physically separated units suitable for use as a unit dose in human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined amount of active substance calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, and a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical dosage forms described herein are administered in unit doses. Typical unit dose forms include, but are not limited to, pre-filled, pre-filled ampoules or syringes of liquid compositions, or pills, tablets, capsules, etc., of solid compositions.
[0169] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein comprise a compound of formula I as the sole active agent, or in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents. In the treatment of any condition disclosed herein, the different compounds of this application may be administered (e.g., in combination) with one or more other compounds of this application (e.g., compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof). Furthermore, any one or more compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be administered in combination with other conventional therapeutic agents to treat one or more of the conditions mentioned herein.
[0170] In some embodiments, the compounds of this application may be used alone or in combination with another type of therapeutic agent. As used herein, the phrase "combined administration" refers to any form of administration of two or more different therapeutic compounds such that the previously administered therapeutic compound remains effective in the body while the second compound is being administered (e.g., both compounds are effective simultaneously in the patient, which may include synergistic effects between the two compounds). For example, the different therapeutic compounds may be administered in the same formulation or in separate formulations, and may be administered simultaneously, sequentially, or by administering the individual therapeutic components separately. In some embodiments, the different therapeutic compounds may be administered at intervals of 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, or one week. Therefore, individuals receiving this treatment may benefit from the combined effects of the different therapeutic compounds.
[0171] In some embodiments, the combination of the compound of this application with one or more other therapeutic agents provides an improved effect compared to the individual application of the compound of formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or the one or more other therapeutic agents. In some such embodiments, the combination provides an synergistic effect, wherein the synergistic effect refers to the sum of the respective effects of the compound of this application and the one or more other therapeutic agents applied alone.
[0172] Such combination products utilize compounds of this application within the dosage range described herein, as well as one or more other pharmaceutically active compounds within approved dosage ranges and / or dosages described in published references.
[0173] This application includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this application used in the compositions and methods of this application. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" includes salts of active compounds prepared with a relatively non-toxic acid or base according to the specific substituents seen on the compounds described herein. When the compounds of this application contain relatively acidic functional groups, a base addition salt can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of the compound with a sufficient amount of the desired base (pure or in a suitable inert solvent). Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salts, or similar salts. When the compounds of this application contain relatively basic functional groups (e.g., amines), an acid addition salt can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of these compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid (pure or in a suitable inert solvent). Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include salts derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid, monohydrocarbonic acid, phosphoric acid, monohydrophosphoric acid, dihydrophosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, monohydrosulfuric acid, hydroiodic acid, or phosphorous acid, as well as salts derived from relatively non-toxic organic acids such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, octanoic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, methanesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, etc. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a hydrochloride salt. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a camphorsulfonate salt. In some embodiments, the salts of the covered compounds include, but are not limited to, alkyl, dialkyl, trialkyl, or tetraalkylammonium salts. In some embodiments, the covered compound salts include, but are not limited to: L-arginine, benzylamine, benzathine, betaine, calcium hydroxide, choline, dianophenate, diethanolamine, diethylamine, 2-(diethylamino)ethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucosamine, hydrabamine, 1H-imidazole, lithium, L-lysine, magnesium, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)morpholine, piperazine, potassium, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine, sodium, triethanolamine, tromethamine, and zinc salts. In some embodiments, the covered compound salts include, but are not limited to, Li, Na, Ca, K, Mg, Zn, or other metal salts. Also included are amino acid salts (such as arginine salts) and organic acid salts (such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid salts) (e.g., see Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Certain compounds in this application may contain both basic and acidic functional groups, enabling them to be converted into base or acid addition salts.
[0174] The neutral form of the compound is preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and separating the parent compound in a conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties (e.g., solubility in polar solvents), and the salt is equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of this application.
[0175] The compounds of this application, including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, may also exist in the form of various solvates, such as solvates with water (also called hydrates), methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide, diethyl ether, acetamide, etc. Mixtures of such solvates may also be prepared. The source of such solvates may be a crystallization solvent, which may be inherent in the preparation or crystallization solvent, or may be incidentally present in such a solvent.
[0176] The compounds of this application, including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, may exist in various polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, or amorphous states. As used herein, the term "polymorph" refers to different crystalline forms and other solid molecular forms of the same compound, including pseudopolymorphs such as hydrates, solvates, or salts of the same compound. Different crystalline polymorphs have different crystal structures due to variations in temperature, pressure, or the crystallization process, resulting in different molecular packing within the crystal lattice. Polymorphs differ from one another in physical properties (e.g., X-ray diffraction characteristics, stability, melting point, solubility, or dissolution rate in certain solvents). Therefore, crystalline polymorphism is an important aspect of developing suitable dosage forms in the pharmaceutical industry.
[0177] The composition may also contain wetting agents, emulsifiers and lubricants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as colorants, release agents, coating agents, sweeteners, flavorings and spices, preservatives and antioxidants.
[0178] Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable antioxidants include: (1) water-soluble antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid, cysteine hydrochloride, sodium bisulfate, sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite, etc.; (2) oil-soluble antioxidants, such as ascorbyl palmitate, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), lecithin, propyl gallate, α-tocopherol, etc.; and (3) metal chelating agents, such as citric acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), sorbitol, tartaric acid, phosphoric acid, etc.

[0190] To provide a more complete understanding of the disclosure herein, the following examples are provided. The examples described in this application are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods provided herein.
[0191] Example 1: Synthesis and Characterization of M5TFV (M5TFV) Monophenyltenofovir (3 g, 8.25 mmol, 1 equivalent) was dried from anhydrous benzene (30 mL), resuspended in anhydrous pyridine (25 mL), and then cooled to -10°C under an argon atmosphere. After adding octadecyl alcohol (3.3 g, 12.38 mmol, 1.5 equivalent) and 2 equivalents of triethylamine, the mixture was heated at 65°C for 10 min under an argon atmosphere, protected from light. Then, a solution of triphenylphosphine (4.33 g, 16.51 mmol, 2 equivalents) and 2,2'-dithiopyridine (3.64 g, 16.51 mmol, 2 equivalents) in pyridine (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and heating continued for another 16 hours. The mixture was then concentrated to remove the solvent. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane (DCM, 200 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate (150 mL). The organic phase was then washed once with saturated sodium bicarbonate (150 mL), followed by brine (150 mL), and dried over sodium sulfate. Dichloromethane was then evaporated on a rotary evaporator, and the sample was purified by rapid silica column chromatography, eluting successively with 97%, 95%, and 92.5% dichloromethane / methanol. The desired compound fraction from the column was dried on a rotary evaporator and precipitated from diethyl ether to give a white powder with a chemical yield >70% (M5TFV). 1 H (CDCl3; Figure 1 )and 31 P NMR spectroscopy, using Bruker Avance-III HD, at 500 MHz and 11.7 T magnetic field strength, confirmed the successful synthesis of the prodrug.
[0192] Example 2: Synthesis and Characterization of M6TFV (M6TFV) Monophenyltenofovir (3 g, 8.25 mmol, 1 equivalent) was dried from anhydrous benzene (30 mL), resuspended in anhydrous pyridine (25 mL), and then cooled to -10°C under an argon atmosphere. After adding docosyl alcohol (4 g, 12.38 mmol, 1.5 equivalent) and 2 equivalents of triethylamine, the mixture was heated at 65°C for 10 min under an argon atmosphere, protected from light. Then, a solution of triphenylphosphine (4.33 g, 16.51 mmol, 2 equivalents) and 2,2'-dithiopyridine (3.64 g, 16.51 mmol, 2 equivalents) in pyridine (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and heating continued for another 16 hours. The mixture was then concentrated to remove the solvent. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane (DCM, 200 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate (150 mL). The organic phase was then washed once with saturated sodium bicarbonate (150 mL), followed by brine (150 mL), and dried over sodium sulfate. Dichloromethane was then evaporated on a rotary evaporator, and the sample was purified by rapid silica column chromatography, eluting successively with 97%, 95%, and 92.5% dichloromethane / methanol. The desired compound fraction from the column was dried on a rotary evaporator and precipitated from diethyl ether to give a white powder with a chemical yield >70% (M6TFV). 1 H (CDCl3; Figure 2 )and 31 P NMR (CDCl3; Figure 3 The successful synthesis of the prodrug was confirmed by spectroscopic analysis using Bruker Avance-III HD at 500 MHz and 11.7 T magnetic field strength.
[0193] Example 3: Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoparticles Solid drug nanoparticles of M5TFV, M6TFV, and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) were prepared by high-pressure homogenization in an aqueous buffer stabilized with a nonionic surfactant, yielding nanoparticles NM5TFV, NM6TFV, and NTAF, respectively. The NM5TFV and NM6TFV nanoformulations were prepared in a mixture of phosphate-buffered saline solution at pH 7 and surfactant solutions of Tween 20 and PEG 3350. For NTAF, a mixture of P407 and PEG 3350 was used as a stabilizer. Specifically, the solid drug powder was dispersed in the surfactant solution and stirred / agitated to form a pre-suspension. The pre-suspension was homogenized on an Avestin EmulsiFlex-C3 high-pressure homogenizer at pressures of 15,000–20,000 psi until the desired particle size of 250–450 nm was achieved. Subsequently, the particle size, uniformity, and surface charge of the homogenized solid drug nanoparticles were evaluated by dynamic light scattering using a Malvern Zetasizer Nano-ZS. The amounts of TAF, M5TFV, and M6TFV in the homogenized formulation were determined by diluting formulation samples in MeOH (1,000–10,000-fold dilution) and analyzed by UPLC-UV / Vis spectroscopy using calibration curves with known standards. The percentage of drug encapsulated in each nanosuspension was calculated using the following formula: Encapsulation efficiency (%) = (Weight of drug in formulation / Weight of initial added drug) x 100.
[0194] Example 4: Therapeutic effect study of HBV transgenic mice Antiviral efficacy was tested in HBV Tg05 mice containing a stably integrated HBV transgene. This study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC, #19-034-10FC). Animal Research: The In Vivo Experiment Reporting (ARRIVE) guideline was used to prepare the data collected in this manuscript. Animals were housed under pathogen-free conditions and received a standard diet. Male C57Bl / 6 transgenic Tg05 mice expressing the 1.3 HBV wild-type viral genome were obtained from J.-H. James Ou, University of Southern California. Mice were maintained in a pathogen-free barrier facility. The drug formulation was administered via a single intramuscular injection at a dose of 168 mg / kg TFV equivalent. HBV DNA viral load in the blood was measured every other week.
[0195] The synthesized prodrug is in solid form, compatible with formulation methods that enable scalable preparation of surfactant-stable aqueous nanosuspensions. Notably, it is compatible with TAF ProTide or arylated NM4TFV diester prodrugs in nanoformulations. (NM4TFV) Compared to limited anti-HBV activity, a single intramuscular injection of a lipophilic NM5TFV or NM6TFV diester prodrug nanosuspension into Tg05 mice showed enhanced and sustained efficacy. Figure 4 This study demonstrated the inhibition of HBV replication in HBV transgenic Tg05 mice (C57BL / 6). A single intramuscular injection of NM5TFV or NM6TFV (n=4 per group) inhibited HBV DNA in peripheral blood by two orders of magnitude compared to untreated nanoformulations TAF ProTide or NM4TFV diester prodrugs. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. The NM5TFV and NM6TFV diester prodrug formulations exhibited enhanced and sustained inhibition of HBV DNA replication in transgenic Tg05 mice over one month, with no significant adverse events.
