Abstract
Description
Uracil derivatives having virus growth inhibitory activity and pharmaceutical compositions containing them
[0001] The present invention relates to compounds that exhibit coronavirus 3 CL protease inhibitory activity, and pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds that exhibit coronavirus 3 CL protease inhibitory activity.
[0002] Coronaviruses, which belong to the Orthocoronavirus subfamily of the Coronaviridae family of the Nidovirales order, have a genome size of approximately 30 kilobases and are among the largest single-stranded positive-strand RNA viruses known. Coronaviruses are classified into four genera: Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Gammacoronavirus, and Deltacoronavirus. Seven types of coronaviruses that infect humans are known: two types in the Alphacoronavirus genus (HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63) and five types in the Betacoronavirus genus (HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-OC43, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2). Of these, four (HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1, and HCoV-OC43) are pathogens that cause the common cold, while the remaining three are severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which cause severe pneumonia.
[0003] The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that emerged in December 2019 rapidly spread internationally, and on March 11, 2020, the WHO declared it a pandemic. As of March 10, 2023, the number of confirmed cases had reached more than 670 million, with more than 6.88 million deaths (Non-Patent Document 1). The main routes of SARS-CoV-2 transmission have been reported to be droplet, contact, and aerosol transmission, and it has been confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 remains airborne with aerosols for approximately three hours, maintaining its infectiousness (Non-Patent Document 2). The incubation period is approximately 2 to 14 days, and cold-like symptoms such as fever (87.9%), dry cough (67.7%), fatigue (38.1%), and phlegm (33.4%) are typical (Non-Patent Document 3). In severe cases, respiratory failure due to acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute lung injury, interstitial pneumonia, etc. occurs. Multiple organ failure, including renal and hepatic failure, has also been reported.
[0004] In Japan, through drug repositioning of existing drugs, the antiviral drug remdesivir, the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone, and the rheumatism drug baricitinib have been approved as treatments for COVID-19, with the anti-IL-6 receptor antibody tocilizumab receiving additional approval in January 2022. Furthermore, the antibody cocktail therapy Lonaprive (casirivimab / imdevimab) received special approval in July 2021, sotrovimab in September 2021, and molnupiravir in December 2021. There is insufficient evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of these drugs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop treatments for COVID-19.
[0005] When coronaviruses infect cells, they synthesize two polyproteins. These polyproteins contain the replication complex that creates the viral genome and two proteases. Proteases cleave the polyproteins synthesized by the virus, playing an essential role in enabling each protein to function. Of the two proteases, the 3CL protease (main protease) is responsible for most of the polyprotein cleavage (Non-Patent Document 4). In June 2021, the completion of Phase 1b trials of Pfizer's Lufotrelvir (PF-07304814), a prodrug of PF-00835231, a COVID-19 treatment targeting 3CL protease, was published in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04535167). In addition, in March 2021, Pfizer announced the start of Phase 1 trials for PF-07321332, a treatment for COVID-19. The structural formulas of PF-00835231, Lufotrelvir, and PF-07321332 are shown below, and have different chemical structures from the compounds of the present invention (Non-Patent Documents 5, 9, and 10, and Patent Documents 1 and 2). PF-00835231: Lufotrelvir (PF-07304814): PF-07321332: In December 2021, PAXLOVID™ was granted emergency use authorization in the United States, and on February 10, 2022, PAXLOVID® Pak was granted special approval in Japan.
[0006] Additionally, in August 2021, the start of Phase 1 trials of PBI-0451 by Pardes Biosciences, a COVID-19 treatment targeting 3CL protease, was published in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05011812). The structural formula of PBI-0451 is shown below, and its chemical structure is different from that of the compound of the present invention (Non-Patent Document 13).
[0007] Furthermore, Zocova (registered trademark) was approved in Japan on November 22, 2022, as a COVID-19 treatment targeting 3CL protease (Non-Patent Document 18). The active ingredient of Zocova is ensitrevir fumarate, and its structural formula is shown below, and its chemical structure is different from that of the compound of the present invention (Patent Documents 10 and 11).
[0008] There is insufficient evidence regarding resistance mutations to COVID-19 drugs targeting 3CL proteases.
[0009] Compounds having 3CL protease inhibitory activity are disclosed in Non-Patent Documents 5 to 8 and 14 to 17, but none of these documents describe or suggest compounds related to the present invention. 3 and / or P2X 2/3 Compounds having receptor inhibitory activity are disclosed in Patent Documents 3 to 9, but none of these documents describe or suggest 3CL protease inhibitory activity or antiviral effects. Non-Patent Document 12 describes a compound having HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity, but none of these documents describe or suggest 3CL protease inhibitory activity or anti-coronavirus effects.
