Currently known small molecule anti-influenza virus drugs include oseltamivir, a neuraminidase inhibitor; baloxavir marboxil, a viral polymerase inhibitor; and amantadine, an M2 ion channel inhibitor. Shionogi & Co., Ltd. disclosed baloxavir, baloxavir marboxil, and compound II-5 in Chinese patent ZL201680037827.7. [ka] TIFF2026509827000003.tif59130 Baloxavir marboxil is a prodrug of baloxavir, which, after metabolism, possesses anti-influenza virus activity. In Chinese patent application (application number) CN201910030450.8, Ms. Zhao Lei disclosed deuterated baloxavir marboxyl compounds (e.g., I-20 compounds) and disclosed data on the anti-influenza virus activity of some of the compounds. Although various prodrug compounds of baroxavir are disclosed in the literature, there is still a need in this field for antiviral drugs with high bioavailability, long half-life, and high blood concentration.

[0042] In vitro and in vivo testing of anti-influenza virus activity 1. In vitro anti-influenza virus activity Good quality MDCK cells in the logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into 96-well plates at a rate of 2.5 × 10⁴ cells / well. Excluding the normal control group, 100 TCID50 infectious doses of H1N1 influenza A virus strain A / FM / 1 / 47 were added to each of the other wells. The incubators were then incubated in a constant temperature CO₂ incubator for 1 hour. Subsequently, sequentially diluted compounds I-1-1-1, I-1-1-2, I-1-1-3, I-1-1-6, I-20, II-5, and baloxavir marboxil were added. The drug-treated cell culture plates were incubated at 35°C for 72 hours. The viral replication inhibitory effect of the test drugs was determined based on the virus detection results in the supernatant. Finally, the viral replication inhibitory effect of the drugs was evaluated using the Reed-Muench method. 50 The result was calculated. The results showed that compounds I-1-1-6, II-5, I-20, I-1-1-1, I-1-1-2, I-1-1-3, and baloxavir marboxil inhibited H1N1 (FM1) influenza virus replication in vitro. 50 The concentrations (μg / mL) were 0.32, 0.32, 0.32, 0.32, 0.032, 0.32, and 0.32, respectively. Of these, compound I-1-1-2 showed strong inhibitory activity against H1N1 influenza virus replication.

[0043] 2. In vivo anti-influenza virus activity Female SPF-grade ICR mice weighing 19-21g were randomly divided into five groups of 10 mice each. Each group consisted of a blank solvent group, compound I-1-1-2 (1 mg / kg in the low-dose group and 5 mg / kg in the high-dose group), and baloxavir marboxil (1 mg / kg in the low-dose group and 5 mg / kg in the high-dose group). An appropriate amount of FM1 mouse lung-acclimatized H1N1 influenza A virus strain (A / FM / 1 / 47) was aspirated using a pipette and administered intranasally. Administration began 2 hours after infection and was given twice daily for 6 days. The blank solvent was an aqueous solution of 1% DMSO / 4% PEG300 / 2% Tween 80 (v / v). During the trial period, the animals' condition was observed daily, and the percentage change in mouse weight and the number of deaths were recorded. The observation period was a total of 15 days, and the survival rate was calculated. Survival rate (%) = Number of animals surviving at the end of the trial / Number of animals participating in the trial × 100%. The results of the study showed that (1) the high-dose group of 5 mg / kg of the compound of formula I-1-1-2 and the high-dose group of 5 mg / kg of baloxavir marboxil had a significant protective effect against lethal infection by H1N1 mouse lung acclimatized strains, and all mice survived throughout the study, with no significant difference in body weight change between the two groups. (2) Compared to the low-dose group of 1 mg / kg of baloxavir marboxil, the low-dose group of 1 mg / kg of the compound of formula I-1-1-2 showed a higher mouse survival rate and less weight loss in the mice, demonstrating superior protective effect. The results are shown in Figures 7 and 8.
