AI Technical Summary
Existing anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HDV) treatments can only suppress viral replication, not eradicate the virus, and there is a risk of relapse in immunosuppressed individuals, thus lacking an effective treatment method.
A new class of pyrrole compounds (Formula (I) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts) has been developed for the treatment of HBV and HDV infections by directly acting on the virus to inhibit its replication and spread.
It effectively inhibits the replication of HBV and HDV, reduces viral load, lowers the risk of relapse, and provides protection for immunocompromised individuals.

[0003] The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus and a member of the Hepadnaviridae family. HBV infects more than 300 million worldwide, and is a causative agent of liver cancer and liver disease such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although there are approved drugs for treating HBV, by either boosting the immune system or slowing down the replication of the HBV virus, HBV continues to be a problem due to the drawbacks associated with each of the approved drugs.

[0008] These are other embodiments are described in greater detail below DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] HBV is a partially double-stranded circular DNA of about 3.2 kilobase (kb) pairs, and is classified into eight genotypes, A to H. The HBV replication pathway has been studied in great detail. T.J. Liang, Hepatology (2009) 49(5 Suppl):S13-S21. On part of replication includes the formation of the covalently closed circular (cccDNA) form. The presence of the cccDNA gives rise to the risk of viral reemergence throughout the life of the host organism. HBV carriers can transmit the disease formany years. An estimated 300million people are livingwith hepatitis B virus infection, and it is estimated that over 750,000 people worldwide die of hepatitis B each year. In addition, immunosuppressed individuals or individuals undergoing chemotherapy are especially at risk for reactivation of a HBV infection. HBV can be acute and / or 2 EP 4 733 305 A2 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 chronic. Acute HBV infection can be either asymptomatic or present with symptomatic acute hepatitis.
[0010] HBVcanbe transmittedbyblood, semen, and / or another body fluid. This canoccur throughdirect blood-to-blood contact, unprotected sex, sharing of needles, and from an infected mother to her baby during the delivery process. The HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) is most frequently used to screen for the presence of this infection. Currently available medications do not cure a HBV and / or HDV infection. Rather, the medications suppress replication of the virus.
[0011] Thehepatitis D virus (HDV) is aDNAvirus, also in theHepadnaviridae family of viruses. HDVcan propagate only in the presence of HBV. The routes of transmission of HDVare similar to those for HBV. Transmission of HDV can occur either via simultaneous infection with HBV (coinfection) or in addition to chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis B carrier state (superinfection). Both superinfectionandcoinfectionwithHDVresults inmore severe complications compared to infection withHBValone.Thesecomplications includeagreater likelihoodof experiencing liver failure inacute infectionsanda rapid progression to liver cirrhosis, with an increased risk of developing liver cancer in chronic infections. In combination with hepatitis B, hepatitis D has the highest fatality rate of all the hepatitis infections, at 20%. There is currently no cure or vaccine for hepatitis D. Definitions

Examples of immunomodulating agents include interferons (such as IFN-α and pegylated interferons that include PEG-IFN-α‑2a); and examples of nucleosides / nucleotides include lamivudine, telbivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, clevudine, entecavir, tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir disoproxil. However, some of the drawbacks associatedwith interferon treatment are the adverse side effects, the need for subcutaneousadministration andhigh cost. Potential advantages of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing, can be less adverse side effects, delay in the onset of an adverse side effect and / or reduction in the severity of an adverse side effect. A drawback with nucleoside / nucleotide treatment can be the development of resistance, including cross-resis- tance.
[0118] Resistance can be a cause for treatment failure. The term "resistance" as used herein refers to a viral strain displaying a delayed, lessened and / or null response to an anti-viral agent. In some embodiments, a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as described herein can be provided to a subject infected with an HBVand / or HDV strain that is resistant to one or more anti-HBV and / or anti-HDV agents. Examples of anti-viral agents wherein resistance candevelop include lamivudine, telbivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, clevudine, entecavir, tenofovir alafenamideand tenofovir disoproxil. In someembodiments, development of resistantHBVand / orHDVstrains is delayedwhena subject is treatedwithacompound,orapharmaceutically acceptablesalt thereof, asdescribedhereincompared to thedevelopment of HBV and / or HDV strains resistant to other HBV and / or HDV anti-viral agents, such as those described.
[0119] Previously known compounds, such as those provided in WO 2017 / 156255, were shown to form adducts with glutathione in in vitroassays. Formation of glutathioneadducts canbeasignal that a compoundhas thepotential to induce liver injury. Thus, the formation of glutathione adducts can be used as a signal to predict safety. Unexpectedly, compounds described herein, such as many compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, have been shown not to form adducts with glutathione in in vitro assays. Further, known compounds (for example, those described in WO 2017 / 156255), have demonstrated potency in a HepG2.2.15 cell based assay with an EC50 of >1000 pM. Many compounds described herein, such as compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, unexpectedly show improvedpotency in aHepG2.2.15 cell basedassaywith anEC50<1000pM range. Thus, compounds described herein, including compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can be at least 16 timesmorepotent thanpreviously knowncompounds. In someembodiments, improvedpotency can lead toa significantly lower dose requirement and therefore improve daily dose burden as well as lead to improved safety margins. Combination Therapies
[0120] In some embodiments, a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as described herein can be used in combination with one or more additional agent(s) for treating and / or inhibiting replication HBV and / or HDV. Additional agents include, but are not limited to, an interferon, nucleoside / nucleotide analogs, a sequence specific oligonucleotide (such as anti-sense oligonucleotide and siRNA), nucleic acid polymers (NAPs, such as nucleic acid polymers that reduce HBsAg levels) an entry inhibitor and / or a small molecule immunomodulator. Examples of additional agents include recombinant interferon alpha 2b, IFN-α, PEG-IFN-α‑2a, lamivudine, telbivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, clevudine, entecavir, tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir disoproxil. Examples of NAPs include, but are not limited to, REP 2139, REP 2165 and those described in U.S. Application No. 62 / 757632, filed November 8, 2018, which is hereby 37 EP 4 733 305 A2 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 incorporated by reference for the purpose of the NAPs described therein.
[0121] In some embodiments, a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as described herein can be administeredwithoneormoreadditional agent(s) together inasinglepharmaceutical composition. Insomeembodiments, a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be administered with one or more additional agent(s) as two or more separate pharmaceutical compositions. Further, the order of administration of a compound, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof, as described herein with one or more additional agent(s) can vary. EXAMPLES
