Conjugate and its preparation method and use
[0001] Cross-references
[0002] This application is based on the application with CN application number 202410111150.3 and application date January 26, 2024, and claims its priority. The disclosed content of the CN application is hereby introduced as a whole into this application. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to a conjugate for inhibiting viral replication, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof. Background Art
[0004] In the medical field, new and highly effective anti-influenza virus therapeutic drugs and strategies are being sought. Influenza viruses (the pathogens of influenza) cause three to five million cases of serious illness each year and approximately 500,000 deaths worldwide. Although most people can fully recover on their own within one to two weeks, some people develop life-threatening complications such as pneumonia. Therefore, influenza can be fatal to some susceptible populations, especially children, the elderly or patients with chronic diseases, people with weak or incomplete immune systems. For example, patients with advanced HIV or organ transplant patients (whose immune systems are medically suppressed to prevent transplant organ rejection) are at greater risk of complications related to influenza. Pregnant women and young children are also at high risk of complications.
[0005] The development of antiviral drugs for influenza virus treatment remains an ongoing challenge. Several influenza antiviral agents have been approved for clinical use. However, with long-term use, resistance to the most commonly used influenza inhibitors has emerged.
[0006] Anti-influenza virus drugs mainly target proteins on the surface of influenza virus particles. The envelope of the influenza virus contains two key glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), which play a key role in viral infection and spread. Neuraminidase is an exoglycosidase that cleaves sialic acid from glycan structures on the surface of infected host cells, thereby releasing progeny viruses and spreading to uninfected surrounding cells. Therefore, neuraminidase becomes the pharmacological target of antiviral drugs. A variety of small molecule drugs have been listed as neuraminidase inhibitors for reducing viral spread, including oseltamivir (Tamiflu TM ), zanamivir (Relenza TM ) and peramivir (Rapivab TM ).
[0007] Targeted delivery of conjugated drugs is an emerging treatment method. Its basic principle is to connect drugs to targeting molecules so that the drugs can selectively bind to disease-related cells or tissues. In cancer treatment, targeted delivery of conjugated drugs has achieved some encouraging results. For example, some antibody drugs have been successfully used to treat diseases such as breast cancer, colon cancer, and lymphoma. At present, macromolecule conjugation technology has also been used to develop new antiviral drugs. For example, Chidara Therapeutics of the United States has developed a human IgG Fc protein-coupled dimer NA inhibitor (CN 113194983 A, WO 2021 / 046549A1), which has initially demonstrated therapeutic potential in anti-influenza.
[0008] However, since influenza viruses have strong antigenic drift and antigenic shift, new subtypes are constantly generated, which increases the possibility of developing drug-resistant strains. Therefore, new and more effective therapies need to be developed for the treatment of influenza. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The present application relates to a conjugate for inhibiting viral replication, its preparation method, and use. In particular, this conjugate couples an influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitor (e.g., zanamivir, peramivir, oseltamivir, or their analogs) to a biomacromolecule such as an antibody, antibody fragment, or albumin. The neuraminidase inhibitor in the conjugate targets the neuraminidase on the surface of viral particles. The antibody Fc end or Fc protein in the conjugate binds to FcγRs (e.g., FcRn, FcγRI, FcγrIa, FcγRIIc, FcγRIIIa, and FcγRIIIb) on immune cells (e.g., neutrophils), activating the phagocytic function of immune cells, such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), thereby causing immune cells to engulf and destroy viral particles, further enhancing the antiviral activity of the conjugate. Albumin can extend the half-life of the conjugate. For example, albumin binding to FcRn delays metabolic loss of the conjugate.
[0010] Specifically, the conjugate contains a dimer or trimer of a portion (e.g., zanamivir, peramivir, oseltamivir, or its analogue) that inhibits influenza virus neuraminidase, which is coupled to an Fc domain monomer, an Fc domain, an Fc binding peptide, albumin, or an albumin binding peptide. The neuraminidase inhibitor in the conjugate targets the neuraminidase on the surface of the virion. The Fc monomer or Fc domain in the conjugate binds to FcγR (e.g., FcRn, FcγRI, FcγRIIa, FcγRIIc, FcγRIIIa, and FcγRIIIb) on immune cells (e.g., neutrophils) to activate phagocytosis and effector functions, such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), thereby engulfing and destroying virions by immune cells and further enhancing the antiviral activity of the conjugate. The albumin or albumin binding peptide can extend the half-life of the conjugate by binding to recycled neonatal Fc receptors (FcRn). The conjugates are useful for inhibiting viral growth and for treating viral infections such as those caused by influenza A, influenza B, and influenza C viruses.

[0260] In some embodiments, in the conjugates of the present application, each E is an Fc domain monomer, comprising a hinge domain, a CH2 antibody constant domain, and a CH3 antibody constant domain. The Fc domain monomer can be an immunoglobulin antibody isotype IgG. The variant Fc domain monomer can also be any immunoglobulin antibody isotype (e.g., IgG1). The variant Fc domain monomer can be any immunoglobulin antibody allotype (e.g., IGHG1*01 (i.e., G1m(za)), IGHG1*07 (i.e., G1m(zax)), IGHG1*04 (i.e., G1m(zav)), IGHG1*03 (G1m(f)), IGHG1*08 (i.e., G1m(fa)), IGHG2*01, IGHG2*06, or IGHG2*02) (as described, for example, in Vidarsson et al. IgG subclasses and allotypes: from structure to effector function Frontiers in Immunology. 5(520): 1-17 (2014)). The variant Fc domain monomer can also be of any species, such as human, murine, or mouse.

In some embodiments, Asn297 in an Fc domain monomer in a conjugate as described herein may be substituted with Ala to prevent N-linked glycosylation (see, e.g., SEQ ID NO: 4, wherein the substitution of Asn297 to Ala is marked (*)).
[0263] In some embodiments, the Fc domain monomer or Fc domain in the conjugate described herein is a non-glycosylated Fc domain monomer or Fc domain (e.g., an Fc domain monomer or Fc domain that maintains engagement with an Fc receptor (e.g., FcRn)). For example, the Fc domain is a non-glycosylated IgG1 variant that maintains engagement with an Fc receptor (e.g., an IgG1 having an amino acid substitution at N297 and / or T299 of a glycosylation motif). Exemplary non-glycosylated Fc domains and methods for preparing non-glycosylated Fc domains are known in the art, for example, as described in Sazinsky SL et al., Aglycosylated immunoglobulin G1 variants productively engage activating Fc receptors, PNAS, 2008, 105(51):20167-20172.
[0264] In some embodiments, the C-terminal Lys447 of the Fc domain monomer in the conjugates described herein may or may not be present without affecting the structure or stability of the Fc region, such as any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 29 and 31 to 52 that do not include the C-terminal Lys residue. In some embodiments, the N-terminal Asn of the Fc domain monomer in the conjugates described herein may or may not be present without affecting the structure or stability of the variant Fc domain monomer, such as any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 29, 31 to 52, and 56 to 58 that do not include the N-terminal Asn residue.

[0409] definition
[0410] As used herein, the term "half maximal inhibitory concentration" refers to the concentration of a drug required for 50% inhibition in vitro.
[0411] As used herein, the term "viral infection" means the pathogenic growth of a virus (e.g., influenza virus) in a host organism (e.g., a mouse). A viral infection can be any situation in which the presence of a viral population is damaging the host body. Thus, a subject is "suffering from" a viral infection when an excess viral population is present in or on the body of a host organism, or when the presence of a viral population is damaging cells or other tissues of the subject.
[0412] As used herein, the term "neuraminidase inhibitor" refers to a compound that reduces the activity of influenza virus neuraminidase (e.g., from influenza A, B, or C viruses). Viral neuraminidase inhibitors known to those skilled in the art include zanamivir, peramivir, oseltamivir, and analogs thereof. The neuraminidase inhibitors described herein include zanamivir, peramivir, oseltamivir, and analogs thereof, such as the neuraminidase inhibitors shown in formula (AI)-(A-XIII) in the conjugate.
[0413] As used herein, the term "Fc domain monomer" refers to a polypeptide chain comprising at least one hinge domain and second and third antibody constant domains (CH2 and CH3) or a functional fragment thereof (e.g., a fragment capable of (i) dimerizing with another Fc domain monomer to form an Fc domain, and (ii) binding to an Fc receptor). The Fc domain monomer may be of any immunoglobulin antibody isotype, including IgG, IgE, IgM, IgA, or IgD (e.g., IgG). In addition, the Fc domain monomer may be an IgG subtype (e.g., IgG1) including IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, or IgG4. The Fc domain monomer does not include any portion of an immunoglobulin that can serve as an antigen-recognition region, such as a variable domain or a complementarity-determining region (CDR). The Fc domain monomer in the conjugate as described herein may contain one or more changes (e.g., 1-10, 1-8, 1-6, 1-4 amino acid substitutions, additions or deletions) relative to the wild-type Fc domain monomer sequence that alter the interaction between the Fc domain and the Fc receptor. Examples of suitable changes are known in the art. In certain embodiments, a human Fc domain monomer (e.g., an IgG heavy chain, such as IgG1) comprises a region extending from any one of Asn208, Glu216, Asp221, Lys222, or Cys226 to the heavy chain carboxyl terminus at Lys447. The presence or absence of Lys447 at the C-terminus of the Fc region does not affect the structure or stability of the Fc region. Unless otherwise specified herein, the numbering of amino acid residues in the IgG or Fc domain monomer is according to the EU numbering system for antibodies, also known as the Kabat EU index, as described, e.g., in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991.
[0414] As used herein, the term "Fc domain" refers to a dimer of two Fc domain monomers that is capable of binding to an Fc receptor. In a wild-type Fc domain, the two Fc domain monomers dimerize through the interaction between the two CH3 antibody constant domains. In some embodiments, one or more disulfide bonds are formed between the hinge domains of the two dimerized Fc domain monomers.

The Fc-binding peptides of the present application include Fc-binding peptides that have been engineered to include one or more (e.g., two, three, four, or five) solvent-exposed lysine residues, which may provide a site for coupling to a compound of the present application (e.g., a dimer or trimer of a neuraminidase inhibitor shown in Formula (IV) or Formula (V), for example, via a linker). Most preferably, the Fc-binding peptide will contain a single solvent-exposed lysine, thereby enabling site-specific coupling of the compound of the present application. Fc binding peptides may include only naturally occurring amino acid residues or may include one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. Non-naturally occurring amino acid residues (e.g., side chains of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues) can be used as attachment points for compounds of the present invention (e.g., neuraminidase inhibitor dimers or trimers shown in formula (IV) or (V), for example, via a linker). The Fc binding peptides of the present application may be linear or cyclic. The Fc binding peptides of the present application include any Fc binding peptides known to those skilled in the art.
[0417] As used herein, the term "albumin" refers to a polypeptide comprising amino acids corresponding to naturally occurring albumin (e.g., human serum albumin) or variants thereof (e.g., engineered variants of naturally occurring albumin). Variants of albumin include polymorphisms, fragments such as domains and subdomains, and fusion proteins (e.g., albumin with a C-terminal or N-terminal fusion such as a polypeptide linker). Preferably, the albumin has the amino acid sequence of human serum albumin (HSA) or a variant or fragment thereof, most preferably the amino acid sequence of a functional variant or fragment thereof. The albumin of the present application includes proteins having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 69-71. The albumins of the present application include albumins that have been engineered to include one or more (e.g., two, three, four, or five) solvent-exposed lysine residues that can provide sites for coupling to the compounds of the present application (e.g., coupling to a neuraminidase inhibitor dimer or trimer of Formula (IV) or (V), including via a linker). Most preferably, the albumin will contain a single solvent-exposed lysine, thereby enabling site-specific coupling of the compounds of the present application (neuraminidase inhibitor dimer or trimer of Formula (IV) or (V)). Albumin may include only naturally occurring amino acid residues or may include one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. Non-naturally occurring amino acid residues (e.g., side chains of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues) can serve as attachment points for the compounds of the present application (e.g., neuraminidase inhibitor dimers or trimers of Formula (IV) or (V), including via a linker).
[0418] As used herein, the term "albumin-binding peptide" refers to a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of 5 to 50 (e.g., 5 to 40, 5 to 30, 5 to 20, 5 to 15, 5 to 10, 10 to 50, 10 to 30, or 10 to 20) amino acid residues that has an affinity for and functions to bind to an albumin (e.g., any of the albumins described herein).

The albumin-binding peptides of the present application include those that have been engineered to include one or more (e.g., two, three, four, or five) solvent-exposed lysine residues, which may provide a site for coupling to a compound of the present application (e.g., to a dimer or trimer of a neuraminidase inhibitor of Formula (IV) or Formula (V), including via a linker). Most preferably, the albumin-binding peptide will contain a single solvent-exposed lysine, thereby enabling site-specific coupling of the compounds of the present application (neuraminidase inhibitor dimers or trimers represented by formula (IV) or (V)). The albumin-binding peptide may comprise only naturally occurring amino acid residues or may comprise one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. Non-naturally occurring amino acid residues (e.g., side chains of non-naturally occurring amino acid residues) may serve as attachment points for the compounds of the present application (neuraminidase inhibitor dimers or trimers represented by formula (IV) or (V)). The albumin-binding peptides of the present application may be linear or cyclic. The albumin-binding peptides of the present application include any albumin-binding peptide known to those skilled in the art.
[0419] As used herein, a "surface exposed amino acid" or "solvent exposed amino acid," such as surface exposed lysine, refers to an amino acid that is accessible to the solvent surrounding the protein. A surface exposed amino acid can be naturally occurring or an engineered variant (e.g., a substitution or insertion) of the protein. In some embodiments, a surface exposed amino acid is an amino acid that, when substituted, does not substantially alter the three-dimensional structure of the protein.
[0420] As used herein, the terms "linker," "L'," and "L'" refer to a covalent linkage between two or more components in a compound (e.g., between two neuraminidase inhibitors in a conjugate described herein, between a neuraminidase inhibitor and an Fc domain monomer, Fc domain, or albumin in a conjugate described herein, and between a multimer of two neuraminidase inhibitors and an Fc domain monomer, Fc domain, or albumin in a compound described herein).
[0421] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein may contain a linker having a trivalent structure (e.g., a trivalent linker). A trivalent linker has four arms, each of which is covalently linked to a component of the compound (e.g., a first arm that is bound to a first neuraminidase inhibitor (e.g., A1 in the conjugate of formula (I)), a second arm that is bound to a second neuraminidase inhibitor (e.g., A2 in the conjugate of formula (I)), a third arm that is bound to a third neuraminidase inhibitor (e.g., A3 in the conjugate of formula (I)), and a fourth arm that is bound to an Fc protein or albumin).
[0422] As used herein, the term "amino acid" means naturally occurring amino acids and non-naturally occurring amino acids.
[0423] As used herein, the term "naturally occurring amino acids" means amino acids including Ala, Arg, Asn, Asp, Cys, Gln, Glu, Gly, His, Ile, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Pro, Ser, Thr, Trp, Tyr, and Val.
[0424] As used herein, the term "T" refers to the average number of Fc domain monomers of the conjugate, neuraminidase inhibitor dimers or neuraminidase inhibitor trimers conjugated to the Fc domain or albumin, and can be from 1 to 20 (e.g., T is 1 to 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 5 to 10, 10 to 15, or 15 to 20).
[0425] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a pharmaceutical or drug formulation containing at least one active ingredient (e.g., a conjugate represented by formula (I) and formula (II), or any of the compounds represented by formula (IV) and formula (V)) and one or more carriers and / or excipients to enable the active ingredient to be suitable for administration.
[0426] As used herein, the term "about" can be understood to mean within + / -10%, + / -9%, + / -8%, + / -7%, + / -6%, + / -5%, + / -4%, + / -3%, + / -2%, + / -1%, + / -0.5%, + / -0.4%, + / -0.3%, + / -0.2% or + / -0.1% of the stated value. For example, about 10% refers to 9% to 11%. Unless otherwise apparent from the context, all numerical values provided herein are modified by the term "about."
[0427] As used herein, the term "identity" refers to the matching of sequences between two polypeptides or between two nucleic acids. When a position in both sequences being compared is occupied by the same base or amino acid monomer subunit (e.g., a position in each of the two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, or a position in each of the two polypeptides is occupied by lysine), then the molecules are identical at that position. The "percent identity" between two sequences is a function of the number of matching positions shared by the two sequences divided by the number of positions compared x 100. For example, if 6 out of 10 positions in two sequences match, then the two sequences have 60% identity. For example, the DNA sequences CTGACT and CAGGTT share 50% identity (3 out of 6 total positions match). Typically, two sequences are compared when aligned for maximum identity. Such alignment can be achieved, for example, using the method of Needleman et al. (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443-453, which can be conveniently performed using a computer program such as the Align program (DNAstar, Inc.). The percent identity between two amino acid sequences can also be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller (Comput. Appl Biosci., 4:11-17 (1988)), which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4. In addition, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences can be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch (J Mol Biol. 48:444-453 (1970)) algorithm, which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at www.gcg.com), using a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
[0428] As used herein, the term "conservative substitution" means an amino acid substitution that does not adversely affect or change the essential properties of the protein / polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence. For example, conservative substitutions can be introduced by standard techniques known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Conservative amino acid substitutions include substitutions in which amino acid residues are substituted with amino acid residues having similar side chains, such as substitutions with residues that are physically or functionally similar to the corresponding amino acid residues (e.g., having similar size, shape, charge, chemical properties, including the ability to form covalent bonds or hydrogen bonds, etc.). Families of amino acid residues with similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, and histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Thus, conservative substitutions generally refer to replacing the corresponding amino acid residue with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Methods for identifying conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art (see, e.g., Brummell et al., Biochem. 32: 1180-1187 (1993); Kobayashi et al. Protein Eng. 12(10): 879-884 (1999); and Burks et al. Proc. Natl Acad. Set USA 94: 412-417 (1997), which are incorporated herein by reference).
[0429] As used herein, the term "subject" can be a human, non-human primate, or other mammal, including but not limited to dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, turkeys, goats, fish, monkeys, chickens, rats, mice, and sheep.
[0430] As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, for example, an amount to alleviate the symptoms associated with the disease to be treated. It should also be noted that the dosage and method of use of the conjugate or compound of the present application depend on many factors, including the patient's age, weight, sex, natural health, nutritional status, activity of the compound, time of administration, metabolic rate, severity of the disease, and the subjective judgment of the treating physician. The preferred dosage is between 0.001 and 1000 mg / kg body weight / day.
[0431] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or excipient" refers to a carrier and / or excipient that is pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient, as is well known in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. Edited by Gennaro AR, 19th ed. Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Company, 1995). Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and / or excipients include, but are not limited to, pH adjusters, surfactants, ionic strength enhancers, diluents, agents that maintain osmotic pressure, agents that delay absorption, preservatives, and stabilizers. For example, pH adjusters include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffers. Surfactants include, but are not limited to, cationic, anionic, or nonionic surfactants, such as Tween-80. Ionic strength enhancers include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride. Preservatives include, but are not limited to, various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. Agents that maintain osmotic pressure include, but are not limited to, sugars, NaCl, and the like. Agents that delay absorption include, but are not limited to, monostearate and gelatin. Diluents include, but are not limited to, water, aqueous buffers (such as buffered saline), alcohols and polyols (such as glycerol), etc. Preservatives include, but are not limited to, various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as thimerosal, 2-phenoxyethanol, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, etc. Stabilizers have the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art, and are capable of stabilizing the desired activity of the active ingredient in the drug, including, but not limited to, sodium glutamate, gelatin, SPGA, carbohydrates (such as sorbitol, mannitol, starch, sucrose, lactose, dextran, or glucose), amino acids (such as glutamic acid, glycine), proteins (such as dried whey, albumin or casein), or their degradation products (such as lactalbumin hydrolysate), etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0473] 29) Preparation of compound R2:
[0474] Methyl 5-acetamido-7,8,9-O-triacetyl-2,6-anhydro-4-azido-3,4,5-trideoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-non-2-enoate (Compound R1, 2.28 g, 5.0 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (15 mL) and the solution was cooled to approximately 13°C. After 20 minutes, triphenylphosphine (1.58 g, 6 mmol) was added in portions. The resulting mixture was stirred at approximately 13°C to room temperature for 2 hours, followed by the dropwise addition of a solution of LiOH (12 mg, 0.5 mmol) in water (1 mL). After stirring for 28 hours, N,N'-bis-boc-1-amidinopyrazole (1.63 g, 5.25 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (122.2 mg, 1 mmol) were added to the reaction mixture. The reaction was stirred for 1.5 days. It was then diluted with a 1:1 mixture of ethyl acetate: hexane (100 mL) and extracted with water (30 mL). The aqueous layer was back-extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The organic layers were combined and concentrated by rotary evaporator. The residue was purified by C18 reverse phase column chromatography (150 g, 25 to 70% acetonitrile and water). The collected eluate was concentrated by rotary evaporator at room temperature. A turbid aqueous solution was produced and most of the product was deposited on the flask in the form of a gel. The solution was then extracted with ethyl acetate (150 mL). The organic layer was used to redissolve the gel material. It was then dried over Na2SO4, concentrated by rotary evaporator, and further dried under high vacuum to obtain the title compound in the form of a white foam. Yield 3 g, 90.2% yield.

The positive control zanamivir (5 mg / kg) was intravenously injected 2 hours after the challenge, once a day, for 3 consecutive days. Oseltamivir phosphate (20 mg / kg) was orally administered 2 hours after the challenge, twice a day, for 3 consecutive days. All mice were euthanized on the fourth day after the challenge, and the viral load at the lungs and nasal concha was detected. The results are shown in Figure 7, which show that at different challenge doses, the conjugate provided in the examples of the present application can effectively inhibit the replication of the virus.
[0613] 2. BALB / c mice were inoculated with 10×LD 50 The mice were administered a single dose (3 mg / kg) of the conjugate intravenously 2 hours after the challenge with influenza virus (A / Puerto Rico / 8 / 1934 (H1N1-PR8)). Positive controls, oseltamivir (10 mg / kg) and mabaloxavir (5 mg / kg), were administered orally. The viral content in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was detected on the 6th day after administration, and the body weight and survival rate were monitored daily. The results are shown in Figures 30-32, indicating that therapeutic administration of the conjugates provided in the Examples of the present application, such as I-6, I-1, and II-6, can effectively inhibit viral replication with minimal toxic side effects. The mice can gain normal weight and have a high survival rate.
[0614] 3.BALB / c mice were intravenously injected with a single dose (3 mg / kg) of the conjugate, and the positive controls oseltamivir (10 mg / kg) and mabaloxavir (5 mg / kg) were orally administered. Fifteen days after administration, the mice were challenged with 10×LD 50 The mice were inoculated with influenza virus (A / Puerto Rico / 8 / 1934 (H1N1-PR8)). Viral levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were measured six days after inoculation, and body weight and survival rate were monitored daily. The results, shown in Figures 33-35, demonstrate that prophylactic administration of the conjugates provided in the Examples of this application, such as I-6, I-1, and II-6, effectively inhibited viral replication with minimal toxic side effects, maintained normal weight gain, and maintained a high survival rate.
[0615] Example 16 Evaluation of the Anti-Influenza Virus Activity of the Conjugate in Vivo
[0616] In order to significantly compare the antiviral activity of the conjugates provided in the examples of this application, the influenza susceptible model DBA / 2 mouse model (purchased from Vital River) was selected. Compared with the BALB / c mouse model, this model can develop severe influenza symptoms at a lower challenge dose. 6-week-old female DBA / 2 mice (10 per group) were selected and 1×10 4 The dose of PFU was administered by nasal drop challenge (A / California / 07 / 2009), and the conjugate (I-1, I-5) (0.3, 3 mg / kg), PBS or negative control Fc protein (3 mg / kg, 9 mg / kg, purchased from Yiqiao Shenzhou, customized, JS95A) was injected into the tail vein once 2 hours after the challenge. The positive control zanamivir (5 mg / kg) was intravenously injected 2 hours after the challenge, once a day, for 5 consecutive days, and oseltamivir phosphate (20 mg / kg) was orally administered 2 hours after the challenge, twice a day, for 5 consecutive days. Body weight and survival rate were monitored every day (a 25% decrease in body weight was considered death) and observed for 14 days. The results are shown in Figures 9-12. In the DBA / 2 mouse model, it can be seen from Figure 8 that the body weight dropped to the lowest on the 7th day after the challenge, among which I-1 (3 mg / kg) can significantly alleviate the weight loss of mice. All mice in the PBS group and the Fc protein control group died on the fifth day (Figure 9), and all mice still died after high-dose, multiple-frequency administration of the positive control drugs oseltamivir phosphate and zanamivir (Figure 10). However, I-1 and I-5 were still able to achieve good protection rates at a single dose as low as 3 mg / kg (Figure 11), and I-5 was able to achieve a protection rate as high as 90%. The above results demonstrate the significant antiviral activity of the single-dose conjugate.
