[0003] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus and a member of the Hepadnaviridae family. HBV infects over 300 million people worldwide and is the causative agent of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer and liver diseases, such as hepatocellular carcinoma. Although approved drugs exist to treat HBV by either boosting the immune system or slowing HBV viral replication, HBV remains problematic due to drawbacks associated with each of the approved drugs.

[0008] These and other embodiments are described in more detail below. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] HBV is a partially double-stranded circular DNA of approximately 3.2 kilobase (kb) pairs and is classified into eight genotypes, A-H. The HBV replication pathway has been studied in great detail. TJ Liang, Hepatology (2009) 49 (5 Suppl): S13-S21. Part of the replication involves the formation of a covalently closed circular (cccDNA) form. The presence of cccDNA creates a risk of re-emergence of the virus over the lifespan of the host organism. HBV carriers can transmit the disease for several years. An estimated 300 million people live with hepatitis B virus infection, and it is estimated that over 750,000 people die from hepatitis B worldwide each year. In addition, immunosuppressed individuals or those undergoing chemotherapy are particularly at risk for reactivation of HBV infection. HBV can be acute and / or chronic. Acute HBV infection can be either asymptomatic or present with symptomatic acute hepatitis.

[0010] HBV can be transmitted by blood, semen, and / or other bodily fluids. It can occur from direct blood-to-blood contact, unprotected sex, sharing needles, and from an infected mother to her baby during the birth process. HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) is most frequently used to screen for the presence of this infection. Currently available drugs do not cure HBV and / or HDV infections. Rather, the drugs suppress the replication of the virus.

[0011] Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a DNA virus in the Hepadnaviridae family of viruses. HDV can only be transmitted in the presence of HBV. The route of transmission of HDV is similar to that of HBV. Transmission of HDV can occur either through simultaneous infection with HBV (co-infection) or in addition to chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis B carriage (superinfection). Both superinfection and co-infection with HDV result in more serious complications compared to infection with HBV alone. These complications include a higher likelihood of experiencing liver damage in acute infections, rapid progression to cirrhosis, and an increased risk of developing liver cancer in chronic infections. In combination with hepatitis B, hepatitis D has the highest case fatality rate of 20% of all hepatitis infections. Currently, there is no cure or vaccine for hepatitis D. definition

[0012] Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. All patents, applications, published applications, and other publications referenced herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety unless otherwise stated. In the event that there are a plurality of definitions for a term herein, the definition in this section prevails unless otherwise stated.

[0013] Whenever a group is described as being "optionally substituted," the group can be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more of the indicated substituents. Similarly, when a group is described as being "unsubstituted or substituted," if substituted, the substituents may be selected from one or more of the indicated substituents. If no substituents are specified, it means that the specified "optionally substituted" or "substituted" group may be substituted with one or more groups individually and independently selected from deuterium, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, aryl(alkyl), heteroaryl(alkyl), (heterocyclyl)alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyl, cyano, halogen, thiocarbonyl, O-carbamyl, N-carbamyl, O-thiocarbamyl, N-thiocarbamyl, C-amido, N-amido, S-sulfonamido, N-sulfonamido, C-carboxy, O-carboxy, isocyanato, thiocyanato, nitro, azido, silyl, sulfenyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, trihalomethanesulfonyl, trihalomethanesulfonamido, amino, monosubstituted amino groups, and disubstituted amino groups.

[0094] Compounds of formula (I) as well as compounds described herein may be prepared in various ways. A general synthetic route for preparing compounds of formula (I) is shown and described herein, together with some examples of starting materials used to synthesize compounds described herein. The routes shown and described herein are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims in any way, and should not be interpreted as such. Those skilled in the art will recognize modifications of the disclosed synthesis and can devise alternative routes based on the disclosure of this specification, and all such modifications and alternative routes are within the scope of the claims. [ka]

[0095] The synthesis of compounds of formula (I) can be carried out as outlined in scheme 1. An ester of general formula (Ia) can be coupled with an amine of general formula (Ib) in a suitable solvent (such as THF) in the presence of a base, such as LiHMDS, to give an amide of general formula (Ic). Reaction of general formula (Ic) with ethyl 2-chloro-2-oxoacetate in the presence of aluminum chloride in a suitable solvent (such as DCM) can give a ketoester of general formula (Id). Subsequently, general formula (Id) can be saponified under basic conditions, for example using lithium hydroxide in a mixture of methanol and water, to give a ketoacid derivative of general formula (Ie). Coupling of general formula (Ie) with a substituted amine of general formula (If) can be carried out in a suitable solvent (such as DCM) in the presence of a peptide coupling agent, such as HATU or EDCI / HOAT, in the presence of an organic amine base (such as Et3N or DIPEA) to give compounds of formula (I) and their pharma-ceutically acceptable salts. Pharmaceutical Compositions

[0096] Some embodiments described herein relate to pharmaceutical compositions that can include an effective amount of a compound described herein (e.g., a compound described herein, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof) and a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, or combination thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein are suitable for human and / or veterinary use.

[0097] As used herein, "carrier" refers to a compound that facilitates the incorporation of a compound into cells or tissues. For example, and without limitation, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a commonly used carrier that facilitates the uptake of many organic compounds into cells or tissues of a subject.

[0098] As used herein, "diluent" refers to an ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition that is not pharmacologically active, but may be pharma- ceutically necessary or desirable. For example, a diluent may be used to bulk a potent drug whose mass is too small for manufacture and / or administration. It may also be a liquid for dissolving a drug to be administered by injection, ingestion, or inhalation. A common form of diluent in the art is a buffered aqueous solution, such as, but not limited to, phosphate buffered saline, which mimics the composition of human blood.

[0099] As used herein, "excipient" refers to an inert substance added to a pharmaceutical composition to provide the composition with, but not limited to, bulk, consistency, stability, binding ability, lubrication, disintegration ability, etc. A "diluent" is a type of excipient.

[0100] Appropriate formulation design depends on the route of administration selected. The techniques for formulation and administration of the compounds described herein are known to those skilled in the art. There are multiple techniques for administering compounds in the art, including but not limited to oral, rectal, topical, aerosol, injection, and parenteral delivery, including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramedullary injection, intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intraperitoneal, intranasal, and intraocular injection. Pharmaceutical compositions are generally tailored to the specific intended route of administration.

[0101] The compounds can also be administered locally rather than systemically, for example, by injecting the compound directly into the site of infection, often in a depot or sustained release formulation. Additionally, the compounds can be administered in targeted drug delivery systems, for example, in liposomes coated with tissue-specific antibodies. Liposomes can be targeted to and taken up selectively by organs.

[0110] Various indicators for determining the effectiveness of a method for treating HBV and / or HDV infection are also known to those skilled in the art. Examples of suitable indicators include viral load (or burden) as indicated by a reduction in HBV DNA (e.g., <10 in serum). 5 These include, but are not limited to, reduced HBV infection (reduced number of copies / mL), reduced HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and HBV e-antigen (HBeAg), reduced plasma viral load, reduced viral replication, reduced time to seroconversion (undetectable virus in patient serum), increased rate of sustained viral response to therapy, improved liver function, and / or reduced morbidity or mortality in clinical outcomes.

[0111] As used herein, the terms "treat," "treating," "treatment," "therapeutic," and "therapy" do not necessarily mean a complete cure or elimination of a disease or condition. Any alleviation, to any extent, of any undesirable signs or symptoms of a disease or condition may be considered treatment and / or therapy. Additionally, treatment may include actions that may worsen a subject's overall feeling of health or appearance.

[0112] As used herein, "subject" refers to an animal that is the object of treatment, observation, or experiment. "Animals" include cold-blooded and warm-blooded vertebrates and invertebrates, such as fish, crustaceans, reptiles, and especially mammals. "Mammals" include, but are not limited to, mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, cows, horses, primates, such as monkeys, chimpanzees, and apes, and especially humans. In some embodiments, the subject is a human.

[0113] The term "effective amount" is used to indicate the amount of active compound or drug that induces the indicated biological or medical response. For example, an effective amount of a compound may be the amount necessary to alleviate or improve the symptoms of a disease or prolong the survival of the subject being treated. This response may occur in a tissue, system, animal, or human, and includes alleviation of the signs or symptoms of the disease being treated. Determination of an effective amount is well within the capabilities of one of ordinary skill in the art in view of the disclosure provided herein. The effective amount of the compounds disclosed herein required as a dose depends on the route of administration, the type of animal, including humans, being treated, and the physical characteristics of the particular animal under consideration. Dosages may be tailored to achieve the desired effect, but will depend on factors such as body weight, diet, concurrent medication, and other factors that one of ordinary skill in the medical field would recognize.

[0114] In some embodiments, an effective amount of a compound described herein or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof is an amount effective to achieve a sustained viral response, e.g., a sustained viral response 12 months after completion of treatment.

[0115] Subjects clinically diagnosed with HBV and / or HDV infection include "naive" subjects (e.g., subjects not previously treated for HBV and / or HDV) and subjects who have failed prior HBV and / or HDV treatment ("treatment failure" subjects). Treatment failure subjects include "non-responders" (subjects who have not achieved a sufficient reduction in ALT (alanine aminotransferase) levels, e.g., subjects who have not achieved a greater than 1 log10 reduction from baseline within 6 months of starting anti-HBV and / or anti-HDV therapy) and "relapsers" (subjects previously treated for HBV and / or HDV who have increased ALT levels, e.g., ALT >2x upper normal limit and detectable serum HBV DNA by hybridization assay). Further examples of subjects include subjects with HBV and / or HDV infection who are asymptomatic.

[0116] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein or pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof may be provided to treatment-failed subjects suffering from HBV and / or HDV. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein or pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof may be provided to non-responder subjects suffering from HBV and / or HDV. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein or pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof may be provided to relapser subjects suffering from HBV and / or HDV. In some embodiments, the subject may have HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B. In some embodiments, the subject may have HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B. In some embodiments, the subject may have cirrhosis. In some embodiments, the subject may be asymptomatic, e.g., the subject may be infected with HBV and / or HDV but does not show any symptoms of viral infection. In some embodiments, the subject may be immunocompromised. In some embodiments, the subject may be undergoing chemotherapy.

[0117] Examples of drugs that have been used to treat HBV and / or HDV include immunomodulators and nucleosides / nucleotides. Examples of immunomodulators include interferons (IFN-α and PEGylated interferons, including 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 associated with interferon treatment are adverse side effects, the need for subcutaneous administration, and high cost. Potential advantages of the compound of formula (I), or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing, may be fewer adverse side effects, delayed onset of adverse side effects, and / or reduced severity of adverse side effects. A drawback with nucleoside / nucleotide treatment may be the development of resistance, including cross-resistance.

[0118] Resistance may be a cause of treatment failure. As used herein, the term "resistance" refers to a virus strain that shows delayed, attenuated, and / or ineffective response to an antiviral agent. In some embodiments, a compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be provided to a subject infected with an HBV and / or HDV strain that is resistant to one or more anti-HBV and / or anti-HDV agents. Examples of antiviral agents to which resistance may develop include lamivudine, telbivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, clevudine, entecavir, tenofovir alafenamide, and tenofovir disoproxil. In some embodiments, when a subject is treated with a compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the development of resistant HBV and / or HDV strains is delayed compared to the development of HBV and / or HDV strains resistance to other HBV and / or HDV antiviral agents, such as those described.

[0119] Known compounds, such as those provided in WO 2017 / 156255, have been shown to form adducts with glutathione in in vitro assays. The formation of glutathione adducts can be an indicator that a compound may induce liver injury. Thus, the formation of glutathione adducts can be used as an indicator for predicting safety. Unexpectedly, many compounds of formula (I), and compounds described herein, such as pharmacologic and pharmacologic salts thereof, have been shown not to form adducts with glutathione in in vitro assays. Furthermore, known compounds (e.g., those described in WO 2017 / 156255) have been shown to be effective in preventing liver injury in patients with EC 60 / 100 / 144. 50 Many of the compounds described herein, such as the compounds of formula (I) and pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof, unexpectedly exhibit potency in a HepG2.2.15 cell-based assay with an EC 50The compounds shown in the present invention show improved potency in a HepG2.2.15 cell-based assay, with a β-blocking activity in the range of <1000 pM. Thus, the compounds described herein, including compounds of formula (I) and pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof, may have at least 16-fold higher potency than known compounds. In some embodiments, the improved potency can result in significantly lower dosage requirements, thus improving daily dose burden and improving safety margins. Combination therapy

[0120] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein or pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof can be used in combination with one or more additional agents for treating and / or inhibiting replicating HBV and / or HDV. Additional agents include, but are not limited to, interferons, nucleoside / nucleotide analogs, sequence-specific oligonucleotides (such as antisense oligonucleotides and siRNAs), nucleic acid polymers (NAPs, e.g., nucleic acid polymers that reduce HBsAg levels), entry inhibitors, and / or small molecule immunomodulators. Examples of additional agents include recombinant interferon alpha 2b, IFN-alpha, PEG-IFN-alpha-2a, lamivudine, telbivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, clevudine, entecavir, tenofovir alafenamide, and tenofovir disoproxil. Examples of NAPs include, but are not limited to, REP2139, REP2165, and those described in U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 757,632, filed November 8, 2018, which is incorporated by reference herein for purposes of the NAPs described herein.

[0121] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be administered together with one or more additional agents in a single pharmaceutical composition. In some embodiments, the compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be administered together with one or more additional agents as two or more separate pharmaceutical compositions. Furthermore, the order of administration of the compounds described herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof with one or more additional agents may be different. EXAMPLES

[0172] Extracellular DNA was isolated using a QIAamp 96 DNA Blood Kit according to the manufacturer's manual. HBV DNA was then quantified by qPCR using the HBV-specific primers and probes specified in Table 1 on an ABI-7900HT using the FastStart Universal MasterMix from Roche. The PCR cycle program consisted of 95°C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 s and 60°C for 1 min. [Table 3]

[0173] DNA standards were prepared by diluting the pAAV2 HBV1.3 plasmid at concentrations ranging from 10 to 1 x 10 copies / µL and used to generate a standard curve by plotting the Ct value versus the concentration of the HBV plasmid DNA standard. The amount of HBV DNA in each sample was determined by interpolating from the standard curve. Cell viability

[0174] After harvesting the supernatant, cell viability was 、 Detection was performed by CellTiter-Glo® according to the manufacturer's manual. Briefly, 50 μL of fresh cell culture medium was added to the culture plate, followed by 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo to each well. The plate was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Luminescence signals were collected on a BioTek Synergy 2 plate reader. Data analysis
