Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to an adenosine derivative prodrug that can inhibit reverse transcriptase. This invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an adenosine derivative prodrug and a capsid inhibitor, which can be used to treat or prevent acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), HIV-1, HIV-2, multidrug-resistant HIV, or combinations thereof. [Previous Technology]
[0002] Retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been associated with immunosuppressive diseases known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Several strains of retroviruses, such as HIV type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2), are known to be associated with these diseases. Individuals infected with HIV retroviruses may initially be asymptomatic, but subsequently develop AIDS-related complications (ARC), and then AIDS. HIV replication from host cells requires the integration of the viral genome into the host cell's DNA. A key step in this process involves the transcription of the viral RNA genome into DNA via an enzyme called reverse transcriptase (RT).
[0003] Reverse transcriptases typically possess a variety of enzymatic functions, which can (1) act as an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase for a single-stranded DNA copy (first DNA) of viral RNA, (2) act as a ribonuclease that destroys the initial viral RNA and releases the DNA just generated from that initial RNA, and (3) act as a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase that uses the first DNA strand as a template to generate a second, complementary DNA strand. The two DNA strands then form a double-stranded DNA, which is integrated into the host cell's genome by an integrase.
[0004] Many compounds can inhibit reverse transcriptase (RT) activity. These compounds can be used to treat HIV infection in humans by inhibiting HIV replication in infected cells or individuals. Examples of compounds approved for the treatment of HIV infection and AIDS include nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTIs) such as 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT, also known as zidovudine (ZDV), azidothymidine (AZT)), 2',3'-dideoxyinosine (ddl), 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddC), d4T, 3TC, abacavir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs) such as nevirapine, delavirdine, efavirenz, rilpivirine, and doravirine (DHHS guidelines: https: / / aidsinfo.nih.gov / understanding-hiv-aids, Iyidogan & Anderson). Viruses, 6, 4095-4139, 2014, doi:10.3390 / v6104095; Hayakawa et al., Antiviral Chem & Chemotherapy, 15:169-187, 2004; Ohrul et al., J. Med. Chem. 43, 4516-4525, 2000; Pauwels, Antiviral Research, 71, 77-89, 2006).
[0005] The adenosine derivative EFdA (4'-ethynyl-2-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine, also known as MK-8591, islatravir) is a long-acting (LA) NRTI that has been shown to have anti-HIV activity by preventing translocation inhibition of reverse transcriptase (US Patent Nos. 7,339,053, 7,625,877, 8,039,614, Singh et al., Pharmaceuticals, 12, 62, 2019, DOI: 10.3390 / ph12020062, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). This compound has broad inhibitory activity and efficacy against different subtypes and mutations (including HIV-1, HIV-2, and multidrug-resistant (MDR) and wild-type (WT) strains, as well as reverse transcriptase inhibitor-resistant (RTI) viruses). Some modified EFdA analogues and prodrugs have been described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2018 / 0002366, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0006] A common problem arising from the treatment of HIV infection with antiretroviral inhibitory compounds is the resistance of these viruses to these inhibitors. This resistance is usually the result of mutations in the reverse transcriptase region of the pol gene. Continued use of antiviral compounds (such as inhibitory compounds) to prevent HIV infection will inevitably lead to the emergence of new drug-resistant HIV strains. Therefore, the need for novel RT inhibitors effective against HIV strains (including mutant HIV and multidrug-resistant HIV strains) persists.
[0007] Another common problem is medication adherence. Medication adherence is crucial for individuals with HIV to achieve successful treatment throughout their lives. Adherence to daily regimens can be challenging, as daily reminders of the patient's HIV status can negatively impact their quality of life. Increasing patient adherence to medication regimens can potentially be achieved by reducing the frequency of administration. Therefore, it is necessary to identify long-acting compounds or regimens (e.g., once-weekly, once-monthly, or once-every-two-months therapy) to overcome these challenges associated with daily oral medication use.

[0193] The method of the present invention may further include adjusting the effective dose to produce a modified effective dose and administering the modified effective dose to the subject if the measured concentration of the targeted drug is different from the predetermined target concentration of the targeted drug.
[0194] In some embodiments, the method of the present invention further includes administering to a subject an effective dose of one or more additional anti-HIV agents selected from the group consisting of: abacavir, abacavir sulfate, lamivudine, ampravir, atazanavir, atazanavir sulfate, AZT, bicitiravir, cabotevir, derunavir, dideoxycytidine, dideoxyinosine, dolutegravir, doravirin, efavirenz, emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, etc. Norfovir alafenamide, 4'-ethynyl-2-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine, aviravir, etravirine, forsanavir calcium, indinavir, indinavir sulfate, lamivudine, lopinavir, combinations of lopinavir and ritonavir, derunavir, combinations of derunavir and cobicistat, maravirocin, nelfinavir, nelfinavir mesylate, nevirapine, PPL-100, retegvir, rilpivirine, stavudine, telanavir, and vevirocin or combinations thereof. Other identified or developed anti-HIV agents or combinations thereof may also be suitable.
[0195] This invention further relates to the use of the adenosine derivatives and capsid (CA) inhibitors disclosed herein, as needed, in the manufacture of medicaments for treating diseases, wherein the disease is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), wild-type HIV-1, NRTI-resistant HIV-1, HIV-2, HIV with the M184V mutation, HIV with the K65R mutation, multidrug-resistant HIV, or RNA virus infection. Any of the aforementioned adenosine derivatives may be suitable. Any of the aforementioned pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may be suitable.
[0196] The present invention further relates to a method for preventing infection in a subject in need, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective dose of any of the pharmaceutical or therapeutic compositions disclosed herein, wherein the subject is free of detectable symptoms of the infection. In some embodiments, the infection comprises a disease selected from: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), wild-type HIV-1 infection, NRTI-resistant HIV-1, HIV-2, HIV with the M184V mutation, HIV with the K65R mutation, multidrug-resistant HIV, RNA virus infection, or a combination thereof.
[0197] Detectable symptoms may include (but are not limited to) symptoms of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), symptoms of HIV infection (including wild-type HIV-1, NRTI-resistant HIV-1, HIV-2, HIV with the M184V mutation, HIV with K65R, multidrug-resistant HIV, or combinations thereof). Detection of these HIV viruses can be performed by PCR, reverse PCR, or immunodetection of antigens or antibodies associated with AIDS or HIV.
[0198] Not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the advantage of the compositions and methods of the present invention is that the adenosine derivatives disclosed herein can be rapidly converted into targeted drugs. As described in the examples below, more than about 60% of the adenosine derivatives of the present invention can unexpectedly and unsurprisingly be converted into the targeted drug within about 30 minutes of contact with human plasma.
[0199] One advantage of the combination of adenosine derivatives and capsid (CA) inhibitors (such as GS-6207 (lenakapavir)) is the potential benefit of HIV infection prevention via pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a method of preventing HIV infection in individuals who are not HIV-positive but at very high risk of HIV infection through regular medication. Currently, medications available under the brand name Truvada contain two drugs (tenofovir and emtricitabine), which are used in combination with other drugs to treat HIV. These drugs work to prevent permanent infection when someone is exposed to HIV. The combination of adenosine derivatives and capsid (CA) inhibitors (such as GS-6207 (lenakapavir)) disclosed herein provides additional PrEP for HIV prevention, preferably on a once-weekly (QW) schedule. PrEP is known to be highly effective in preventing HIV when taken consistently. Without consistent use, the efficacy of PrEP is much lower. The weekly (QW) schedule for combinations of adenosine derivatives and capsid (CA) inhibitors (such as GS-6207 (lenapavir)) disclosed herein can provide convenience and assistance in maintaining continuous drug intake and thus contribute to HIV prevention.

[0221] ZnBr2 (45 mg, 0.20 mmol, 2 equivalents) was added to a solution of N-[9-[(2R,4S,5R)-5-ethynyl-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]-2-fluoro-purine-6-yl]-N-[(5-methyl-2-sideoxy-1,3-dioxacyclopenten-4-yl)methyl]carbamate tributyl ester (50 mg, 0.10 mmol, 1 equivalent) in CH3CN (5 mL).

Example 6: Transformation and stability of adenosine derivative prodrugs.
[0222] The stability of the prodrug and its conversion to the targeted drug adenosine derivative (EFdA) (formula T-1A) were measured in both plasma and liver S9 analysis, and the data are shown in Table 2. Plasma stability
[0223] Before the experiment, the combined frozen plasma was frozen in a water bath at 37°C. The plasma was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 min, and any clots were removed. The pH was adjusted to 7.4 ± 0.1 as needed.
[0224] Preparation of test compounds and positive control (propamine bromide): 1 mM intermediate solution was prepared by diluting 10 µL of stock solution with 90 µL MeOH; 1 mM positive control propamine bromide intermediate was prepared by diluting 10 µL of stock solution with 90 µL ultrapure water. 100 µM dosing solution was prepared by diluting 20 µL of intermediate solution (1 mM) with 180 µL MeOH. 2 µL of dosing solution (100 µM) was added to 98 µL of blank plasma in duplicate to achieve a final concentration of 2 µM, and the samples were cultured in a water bath at 37°C. At each time point (0, 10, 30, 60, and 120 min), 400 μL of stop solution (0.1% FA in MeOH containing 200 ng / mL tolbutamide and 200 ng / mL labetalol) was added to the precipitated protein and thoroughly mixed. The sample trays were centrifuged at 4,000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant (100 μL) of the aliquots was transferred from each well to the other trays.
[0225] Data Analysis: The residual % of the tested compound after culture in plasma was calculated using the following equation: Residual % = 100 x (PAR at the specified culture time / PAR at T0 time) where PAR is the peak area ratio of the analyte to the internal standard (IS). (LC / MS / MS mobile phase conditions: 0.1% formic acid in water / 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. Specified culture time points are T0 (0 min), Tn (n = 0, 10, 30, 60, 120 min). Liver S9 stability
[0226] Intermediate solution: Dilute 5 μL of the compound or control (7-ethoxycoumarin) with 495 μL MeOH (concentration: 100 μM, 1% DMSO, 99% MeOH) from the stock solution (10 mM). Stop solution: Cold ACN (containing 100 ng / mL tolbutamide and labetalol as internal standards). Except for the matrix blank, add 2 μL of the test compound or control working solution / well to all pans (T0, T5, T10, T20, T30, T60, NCF60). Add 600 μL / well of stop solution (cooled at 4°C, containing 100 ng / mL tolbutamide / 100 ng / mL labetalol) to terminate pan T0, then place it on ice. Dispense 840 μL / well S9 solution to the 96-well pan as a reservoir according to the pan plot. Then add 100 μL / well to each Apricot pan. Except for NCF60 and T0, the S9 solution and compounds were incubated at 37°C for approximately 10 min. After adding the S9 solution and 98 μL of PB buffer to the NCF60, the mixture was incubated at 37°C without preheating, and timer 1 was started. After 60 min, 600 μL / well stop solution was added to terminate the reaction. After preheating, 760 μL / well of cofactor solution was dispensed into 96-well pans as a reservoir according to the pan plot. Then, 98 μL / well was added to each Apricot pan to start the reaction. The mixture was incubated at 37°C, timer 2 was started, and 600 μL / well stop solution (cooled at 4°C, containing 100 ng / mL tolbutamide and labetalol) was added to terminate the reaction. The samples were centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 20 min. Simultaneously with centrifugation, 300 μL of HPLC water was loaded into eight new 96-well plates, followed by the transfer of 100 μL of supernatant, which was then mixed with water for LC / MS / MS analysis. The samples were then transferred to the Bioanalytical Services department for LC-MS / MS analysis. t1 / 2 and CL were calculated using a first-order kinetic equation: First-order kinetic equation:
[0227] The stability results of the exemplary compounds in human plasma and human liver S9 are listed in Table 2 below. Table 2: Transformation and half-life data. Mode Stability in human blood plasma Stability in human liver S9 half life Formation of EFdA half life Formation of EFdA 2-A A no B no 3-A A no B no 4-A C yes C yes 5-A A no B no 6-A C no C yes 7-A B no C no 4-C C yes C yes Half-life range: A: >200 minutes; B: 50 to 200 minutes; C: <50 minutes.
[0228] Data show that adenosine derivatives 4-A and 4-C can be efficiently converted into the targeted drug in human plasma and liver S9 analysis, and 6-A can be efficiently converted into the targeted drug in liver S9 analysis. Example 7: Antiviral activity of the prodrug in a two-drug combination study using lenakapavir (GS-6207) against the HIV-1 laboratory strain HIV-1 NL4-3 in MT-4 cells.
[0229] Methods: Compound preparation: Stock solutions of prodrug formula 4-A and lenakapavir (10 mM in DMSO) were prepared and aliquoted. These stock solutions were stored at -20°C until the day of analysis. The stock solutions were used to generate fresh working drug diluents each day of the analytical setup. Each aliquot of the stock solution was for single use only and discarded after the experiment. Fresh working diluents were prepared from previously unused stock solution aliquots for each experimental analysis to avoid compound degradation. Five diluent combinations of formula 4-A diluents were tested with the second anti-HIV drug, the capsid inhibitor lenakapavir. In all cases, the final DMSO concentration was < 0.25%, which had previously been shown to have no effect on the analyses described herein.
[0230] Viral strains and cell lines: The viruses and cell lines used for these assessments were obtained from the NIH AIDS Research and Reference Reagents Program (Germantown, Maryland). Evaluation was performed using cell protection (CPE) assays.
[0231] For each antiviral assay, the pre-titrated aliquots of virus were removed from the freezer (-80°C) and rapidly thawed. The virus was resuspended and diluted in tissue culture medium so that the amount of virus added to each well was determined to be the amount that would result in a loss of 85% to 95% of cell viability due to virus-induced cytopathic effects (CPE assay).
[0232] Analysis of antiviral efficacy in MT4 T cells: MT4 cells were passaged in T-75 flasks prior to the antiviral assay. The cells were divided 1:2 the day before the assay to ensure they were in the exponential growth phase at the time of infection. Total cell count and viability were quantified using a hematology counter and trypan blue exclusion assay. Cell viability was greater than 95% for use in this assay. The cells were resuspended in tissue culture medium and added to a microtiter containing the drug at a seeding density of 110 µl / well and 5.0 x 10³ cells / well.
[0233] For each analysis, aliquots of pre-titrated HIV-1 NL4-3 virus were removed from the freezer (-80°C) and allowed to thaw slowly to room temperature in a biosafety cabinet. The virus was resuspended and diluted in tissue culture medium such that the amount of virus added to each well, in a volume of 50 µL, was determined to result in 85 to 95% cell killing on day 6 post-infection. The TCID50 calculated by endpoint titration in MT4 cells indicated an infection multiplicity of approximately 0.01 for these analyses.
[0234] A checkerboard pattern was used to test five concentrations of lenakapavir in all possible combinations with eight concentrations of Formula 4-A. Combination antiviral efficacy was assessed on three identical analytical plates (i.e., triplicate measurements) including cell control wells (cells only) and virus control wells (cells plus virus). Combination cytotoxicity was assessed in parallel on two identical analytical plates (i.e., replicate measurements) including cell control wells. When color was observed at the compound concentration used in the experiment, a compound color control plate was used for background subtraction. Antiviral efficacy and cytotoxicity were monitored at the experimental endpoint by MTS staining.
[0235] MTS staining for cell viability: At the end of the analysis, the analytical discs were stained with a soluble tetrazolium-based dye, MTS reagent (CellTiter® 96 reagent, or Promega under the respective registered trademarks), to determine cell viability and quantify compound toxicity. MTS is metabolized by mitochondrial enzymes of metabolically active cells to produce soluble formazan, allowing for rapid quantitative analysis of cell viability and compound cytotoxicity. At the end of the analysis, 20 µL of MTS reagent was added to each well, and the microtiter discs were then incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 4 to 6 hours for HIV cell protection analysis; the incubation interval was selected based on empirically determined optimal dye reduction time. Using adhesive disc sealant instead of lids, the sealed discs were inverted several times to mix the soluble formazan product and read using a Molecular Devices SpectraMax i3 plate reader at 490 / 650 nm spectrophotometry.
[0236] Data Analysis: Combination antiviral assays were performed in MT4 cells using HIV-1 NL4-3 as described above. For each combination assay, five concentrations of lenakapavir were tested in all possible combinations with eight concentrations of Formula 4-A. In uninfected MT4 cells, triple replicates were used to determine combination antiviral efficacy, and double replicates were used to determine combination cytotoxicity. Unless otherwise stated, each combination assay was performed twice.
[0237] The drug combination analysis data were then analyzed using the MacSynergy II program for data analysis and statistical evaluation. In short, the MacSynergy II program calculates the theoretical cumulative interaction of these drugs based on the mathematical definition of Bliss independence of the expected effects of drug-drug interactions. This Bliss independence model is based on statistical probability and assumes that the drugs act independently to affect viral replication; this independent effect model is also known as the two-site (DS) model and was used in all combination analyses reported in this paper.
[0238] Theoretical cumulative interactions are calculated from the dose-response curves of each drug used individually. This calculated cumulative surface (representing the predicted or cumulative interaction) is then subtracted from the experimentally determined dose-response surface to reveal regions of non-cumulative activity. If the interactions are only cumulative, the resulting surface is displayed on the graph as a plane with a level above the calculated 0% inhibition. Any peak above this cumulative plane indicates a synergistic effect. Similarly, any depression below this cumulative plane indicates an antagonistic effect. Data are statistically evaluated using a 95% confidence interval around the experimental dose-response surface, and the volumes of these peaks / depressions are calculated to quantify the volume of the synergistic / antagonistic effect. The peak volume observed in the synergistic effect graph (in units of concentration multiplied by concentration multiplied by percentage; e.g., µM2%, nM2%, nMµM%, etc.) is calculated using this formula. This peak volume is a three-dimensional counterpart of the area under the 3D dose-response surface and is a quantitative measurement of the synergistic or antagonistic effect. For these studies, synergistic effect is defined as a combination of drugs producing a synergistic volume greater than 50. Mild synergistic activity and high synergistic activity are operationally defined as producing synergistic volumes of 50 to 100 and > 100, respectively. Additive drug interactions have synergistic volumes in the range of -50 to 50, while those between -50 and -100 are considered mildly antagonistic, and those < -100 are considered highly antagonistic.
[0239] Results: In the study of two-drug combination therapy against HIV-1 NL4-3 virus in MT4 cells, Formula 4-A showed synergistic antiviral activity when combined with lenakapavir (Table 3). Table 3: Summary of antiviral efficacy results of Formula 4-A combined with lenakapavir in MT4 T cells. compound Average synergistic / antagonistic volume (nM 2 % n=2) Explanation of antiviral combination 1 (Synergy / Antagonism) Formula 4-A + Lenapavir 162 / -5.03 Highly collaborative Stavudine + Ribavirin 0 / -572 High antagonism 1. Synergistic effect is defined as a combination of drugs that produces a synergistic volume greater than 50. Mild synergistic activity and high synergistic activity are defined as producing synergistic volumes of 50 to 100 and > 100, respectively. Cumulative drug interactions have synergistic volumes in the range of -50 to 50, while those between -50 and -100 are considered mildly antagonistic and those < -100 are considered highly antagonistic.
[0240] A representative example of the mean 3D surface plot of the interaction between Formula 4-A and the antiviral drug lenakapavir in MT4 cells with HIV-1 NL-43 is shown in Figure 1. Example 8: Plasma exposure after oral administration of the prodrug in contrast dogs.
[0241] The pharmacokinetics of EFdA and prodrug formula 4-A were studied in dogs after oral administration of a dose of 5 mg equivalent / kg EFdA.
[0242] Preparation: Prepare a solution of 1.65 mg / mL by dissolving the prodrug in a 20% PEG400 aqueous solution within 0.5 hours before administration.
[0243] Dosing and Sample Collection: The lifecycle phases of this study were conducted at the Charles River Laboratory (CRL) in Worcester, Massachusetts, in accordance with the CRL Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) standard animal procedures, in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act and the IACUC guidelines for laboratory animal care and use, and approved by the IACUC Committee. Fasted male beagle dogs (10 + / - 2 kg) were used for these studies. Each drug was administered as a single dose via oral tube feeding (5 ml / kg). The prodrug formula 4-A dose (8.25 mg / kg) was equivalent to 5 mg / kg of EFdA. Plasma samples were collected at 0 (before administration), 30 min after administration, and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h. Blood (approximately 0.1 to 0.2 mL) was immediately processed against plasma after collection by centrifugation at 3,500 rpm at 5°C for 10 min. Plasma samples were frozen and maintained at -70°C until analysis. To stabilize the prodrug during sample collection and subsequent analysis, the following stabilizing reagents were added to the blood collection K2EDTA tubes on wet ice prior to sample collection: For each 100 mL of blood, 15 mL of a pre-prepared inhibitor mixture consisting of 1 mM DFP, 100 mM diclofenac, 100 mM 2-hydroxyquinoline, 100 mM PCMB, 1 mM paraoxon, 100 mM PMSF, 100 mM NaF, 30.0 mM EDTA, 15 mM citrate, 10 mL of 0.2 M physostigmine, and 10 mL of 0.2 M BNPP solution.
[0244] Determination of EFdA and prodrug in plasma: Briefly, plasma (20 μL) was mixed with 100 μL acetonitrile to precipitate proteins. The same mixing protocol was followed as in the sample collection procedure to stabilize the prodrug in the standard and QC samples.
[0245] Bioanalysis: Quantitative analysis of plasma samples was performed using a Sciex API-6500 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled to a Shimadzu HPLC system (Framingham, MA 01701). Waters HSS T3 columns (2.1 x 50 mm, 1.8 mm) were used. The mobile phases used were: A, 5% acetonitrile in 2 mM ammonium formate buffer; B, 95% acetonitrile in 2 mM ammonium formate buffer, pH 6.0. The flow rate was 0.6 mL / min and the total run time was 3.0 min. The HPLC gradient started at 98% A / 2% B for 0.20 min, followed by a linear gradient increasing to 25% over the next 1.40 min; this gradient was then increased to 100% mobile phase B over the next 1.0 min and held for 0.2 min, followed by a decrease to 2% mobile phase B over the next 0.2 min. The detection of the prodrug and EFdA was achieved using positive ion electrospray mass spectrometry in unit resolution mode. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used to quantify both the prodrug and EFdA; for example, the MRM conversion coefficient for EFdA was 294.0 to 153.90 Da, and for prodrug 4-A, it was 450.0 to 153.9 Da. Peak areas were determined using Sciex Analyst® program version 1.6.3 running on a Windows 7 computer, where concentration was determined by a weighted (1 / x2) linear regression of the peak area ratio (peak area of EFdA / corresponding peak area of IS) compared to the nominal concentration of the plasma calibration standard. Unrounded figures were calculated. Overall, Analyst® determined the precision and accuracy of the calibration standard and QC samples.
[0246] Pharmacokinetic calculations: Non-compartmental (NCA) analysis of EFdA and individual prodrug plasma concentration-time data was performed using the WinNonlin module (version 8.3.0.5005, Certara Inc., Princeton, NJ 08540) in the Phoenix PK / PD platform. Calculations were performed before rounding and the nominal sampling time was used in the pharmacokinetic analysis. Exposure is expressed as the area under the concentration curve from 0 to 24 hours in plasma (AUC0-24h). AUC values were calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule.
[0247] Plasma Concentrations: Results of the PK study are shown in Tables 3 and 4. These data confirm in vivo that prodrug formulation 4-A can be readily delivered orally and releases EFdA efficiently in vivo with minimal prodrug detection in systemic circulation. For example, prodrug formulation 4-A releases significantly more EFdA in vivo than dose-equivalent EFdA, i.e., 91%, 102%, 55%, 79%, and 200% more at time points of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours, respectively (see Table 4). Furthermore, prodrug formulation 4-A produces higher AUC and Cmax than dose-equivalent EFdA (see Table 4).

[0248] The pharmacokinetics of EFdA, prodrug formula 4-A, and lenakapavir were studied in rats after intravenous infusion at doses of 1.0 mg / kg, either alone or in combination.
[0249] Preparation: 0.5 hours before administration, prepare a solution of 1.0 mg / mL by dissolving the prodrug and lenakapavir alone or in combination in 20% PEG400 and 10% Solotol aqueous solution.
[0250] Dosing and Sample Collection: The lifecycle phase of this study was conducted in Shanghai, China, at WuXi AppTec (Wuxi) in accordance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) standard animal procedures, in compliance with the Animal Welfare Act and the Guidelines for Laboratory Animal Care and Use, and was approved by the IACUC Committee. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (0.262 + / - 0.019 kg) were used in these studies. Drugs were administered as single doses via 30-minute IV infusions (1 ml / kg) alone or in combination. Plasma samples were collected at 0 (before administration), and at 5, 10, 15, and 30 min, 1, 2, 4, 7, 12, and 24 h post-administration. Blood (approximately 0.1 mL) was immediately processed against plasma within half an hour of collection by centrifugation at 3,200 g at 4°C for 10 min. Plasma samples were frozen and maintained at -70°C until analysis. To stabilize the prodrug during sample collection and subsequent analysis, the following stabilizing agents were added to the blood collection K2EDTA tubes on wet ice prior to sample collection: for each 100 mL of blood, 10 mL of a pre-prepared inhibitor mixture consisting of 600 mM citric acid, 400 mM PMSF, 400 mM NaF, and 400 mM diclofenac.
[0251] Determination of EFdA and prodrug in plasma: Briefly, plasma (20 μL) was mixed with 100 μL acetonitrile to precipitate proteins. The same mixing protocol was followed as in the sample collection procedure to stabilize the prodrug in the standard and QC samples.
[0252] Bioanalysis: Quantitative analysis of plasma samples was performed using a Sciex API-6500 Plus triple quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled to a Waters Acquity UPLC system (Framingham, MA 01701). Waters HSS T3 columns (2.1 x 50 mm, 1.8 micrometer) were used. The mobile phases used were: A, 0.1% formic acid in water; B, 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. For the analysis of EFdA and prodrugs in plasma, the flow rate was 0.6 mL / min and the total run time was 2.0 min. The HPLC gradient started at 100% A for 0.30 min, followed by a linear gradient increasing to 40% B over the next 0.7 min; this gradient was then increased to 100% mobile phase B over the next 0.7 min, held for 0.2 min, and then decreased to 100% mobile phase A over the next 0.1 min. The detection of the prodrug and EFdA was achieved using positive ion electrospray mass spectrometry in unit resolution mode. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used to quantify both the prodrug and EFdA; for example, the MRM conversion range for EFdA was 294.0 to 154.2 Da, and the conversion range for prodrug 4-A was 449.3 to 164.9 Da. For the analysis of lenapavir in plasma, the flow rate was 0.7 mL / min and the total run time was 1.5 min. The HPLC gradient started at 95% A / 5% B for 0.50 min, followed by a linear gradient increase to 10% B over the next 0.2 min; this gradient was then maintained at 100% mobile phase B for the next 0.7 min, and then decreased to 95% mobile phase A over the next 0.1 min. The detection of lenapavir was achieved using positive ion electrospray mass spectrometry in unit resolution mode. Lenacapapravir was quantified using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, with the MRM conversion coefficient for lenacapapravir ranging from 968.1 to 869.4 Da. Peak area was determined using Sciex Analyst® program version 1.6.3 running on a Windows 7 computer, where concentration was determined by a weighted (1 / x2) linear regression of the peak area ratio (peak area of EFdA / peak area of the corresponding IS) compared to the nominal concentration of the plasma calibration standard. Unrounded figures were calculated. Overall, Analyst® determines the precision and accuracy of calibration standards and QC samples.
[0253] Pharmacokinetic calculations: Non-compartmental (NCA) analysis of EFdA and individual prodrug plasma concentration-time data was performed using the WinNonlin module (version 8.3.0.5005, Certara Inc., Princeton, NJ 08540) in the Phoenix PK / PD platform. Calculations were performed before rounding and the nominal sampling time was used in the pharmacokinetic analysis. Exposure is expressed as the area under the curve (AUC0-24h) of plasma concentration from 0 to 24 hours. AUC values were calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule.
[0254] Plasma Concentrations: Results of the PK studies are shown in Tables 6 to 13. These data demonstrate in vivo that the prodrug formula 4-A can be readily delivered orally, and releases EFdA efficiently in vivo, with minimal prodrug detection in systemic circulation in both absence and presence of lenakapavir. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic profile of lenakapavir is unaffected by co-administration with the prodrug (e.g., formula 4-A).
