Description

Application of saquinavir in treatment or prevention of hepatitis B
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of anti-hepatitis B medicines, in particular to application of saquinavir, deuterated products thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and derivatives thereof in treating or preventing hepatitis B.
Background
Human Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection is a significant public health problem worldwide. After acute hepatitis B virus infection, about 8% of the hepatitis B virus infection still develops into chronic hepatitis B infection, and persistent HBV infection can lead to liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer. The hepatitis B transmission path mainly comprises vertical transmission and horizontal transmission. Vertical transmission refers to maternal and infant transmission; horizontal transmission is primarily through the blood.
Hepatitis B is also a long-term course of treatment, with the goal of maximally inhibiting or eliminating HBV, reducing hepatocyte inflammatory necrosis and hepatic fibrosis, slowing and preventing disease progression, reducing and preventing liver decompensation, cirrhosis, HCC and complications thereof, thereby improving quality of life and prolonging survival time.
There are many hepatitis b therapeutic drugs on the market at present, and antiviral treatment is mainly performed by using interferon or nucleoside analogues. For interferon, recombinant DNA leukocyte interferon (IFN-. Alpha.) can inhibit HBV replication. However, when interferon is used for treating hepatitis B, serious adverse reactions, including myelosuppression, influence on thyroid function, depression and the like are often accompanied.
Nucleoside analogs inhibit HBV production primarily by inhibiting reverse transcriptase activity during HBV replication, clinically useful drugs include the following classes: lamivudine, famciclovir, such as acyclovir, adefovir, entecavir, tenofovir, sodium phosphonate and the like, and all have certain HBV inhibiting effect.
Although these reverse transcriptase inhibitors can effectively reduce HBV DNA level and control HBV level, the action target is the process of reverse transcription of RNA into DNA, and has no direct effect on the elimination of HBeAg and HBsAg. Therefore, the single-drug treatment of nucleoside analogues has extremely low probability of serological conversion of HBeAg and HBsAg, and can not truly cure hepatitis B, and patients need to take medicines for a long time or even for life.
For interferon, recombinant DNA leukocyte interferon (IFN-. Alpha.) can inhibit HBV replication. Whereas nucleoside analogues inhibit HBV production primarily by inhibiting reverse transcriptase activity during HBV replication, clinically useful drugs include the following classes: 1) Lamivudine is a synthetic dideoxy cytosine nuclear medicine with anti-HBV effect. The serum HBV-DNA level can be obviously reduced by orally taking lamivudine, and the negative conversion rate of HBV-DNA can reach more than 90% after 12 weeks of taking the lamivudine. The ALT can be reduced and the liver inflammation can be improved after long-term administration; 2) Famciclovir, a guanosine drug, has long half-life and high intracellular concentration, can inhibit HBV-DNA replication, has light side effects, and can be used with lamivudine interferon and the like to improve curative effects; 3) Other antiviral drugs: such as acyclovir, adefovir, entecavir, sodium phosphonoformate and the like, has a certain HBV inhibiting effect.
Although the above-mentioned reverse transcriptase inhibitors can control the level of hepatitis B virus in patients, the problems of drug resistance, huge medical cost, serious side effects of drugs and the like which are caused by the reverse transcriptase inhibitors are not quite small. Accordingly, there is a great need in the art to provide a new medicament for the treatment of hepatitis b. The key point is that at present, no medicine can completely remove viruses to cure hepatitis B. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to provide a new drug for treating hepatitis b, capable of eliminating HBsAg, and achieving a functional cure.
Saquinavir (Saquinavir) is a protease inhibitor that specifically cleaves viral precursor proteins in HIV-infected cells, allowing the final formation of infectious viral particles. These viral precursor proteins present a cleavage site that can only be recognized by the proteases of HIV and its closely related viruses. Saquinavir is a peptide-like, structurally mimicking this type of cleavage site. Thus, saquinavir is tightly bound to the active sites of HIV-1 and 2 proteases, exhibiting reversible and selective inhibition of protease activity in vitro, with about 50,000 times less affinity than human protease.
The current research on saquinavir indications mainly aims at the application of the saquinavir indications in treating or preventing diseases such as HIV and the like, and no research on the application of the saquinavir indications in treating or preventing hepatitis B has been reported.

In one embodiment, the derivative of saquinavir is a compound with a protecting group as described in formula 1,
wherein in the general formula 1, R is selected from C1-C10 alkyl and C3-C10 cycloalkyl.
In a preferred embodiment, wherein the derivative of saquinavir is selected from the following compounds:
in one aspect, the present application provides the use of saquinavir, its deuterated, its derivatives, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of hepatitis b.
In one embodiment, the saquinavir is in the deuterated form. Those skilled in the art know that deuterated substances do not change the original properties of the compound, but can slow down the metabolic process, thereby prolonging the half-life and more effectively playing a role of a drug.
In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is saquinavir hydrochloride. In one embodiment, the agent is capable of reducing Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) loading, HBsAg, and/or HBeAg levels.
Saquinavir (Saquinavir) is a protease inhibitor that specifically cleaves viral precursor proteins in HIV-infected cells, allowing the final formation of infectious viral particles. These viral precursor proteins present a cleavage site that can only be recognized by the proteases of HIV and its closely related viruses. Saquinavir is a peptide-like, structurally mimicking this type of cleavage site. Thus, saquinavir is tightly bound to the active sites of HIV-1 and 2 proteases, exhibiting reversible and selective inhibition of protease activity in vitro, with about 50,000 times less affinity than human protease. However, there have been no reports of its use in the treatment of hepatitis B, and no reports of its ability to reduce HBsAg and/or HBeAg levels.
Viral hepatitis:
the etiology of viral hepatitis is typed, five hepatitis viruses, namely A, B, C, D and E, are currently recognized, and are respectively written as HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV, HEV, and the rest are RNA viruses except that the hepatitis B virus is DNA virus.
Hepatitis b is an infectious disease caused by hepatitis b virus and is mainly a liver lesion. Clinically, it is mainly manifested by anorexia, nausea, epigastric discomfort, pain in liver region and hypodynamia. Some patients may have jaundice fever and liver large with liver function impairment. Some patients may become chronicized, even develop cirrhosis, and a few may develop liver cancer.
The pathogen of viral hepatitis B is hepatitis B virus, abbreviated as HBV, and hepatitis B virus is DNA virus. The genome is double-stranded, circular, incompletely closed DNA. The outermost layer of the virus is the outer membrane or coating of the virus, the inner layer of which is the core, the nucleoprotein is the core antigen (HBcAg) and cannot be detected in serum. The serum of HBsAg positive subjects was seen under an electron microscope as 3 particles, round and filiform particles of 22nm diameter, and also as fewer spherical particles of 42 angstrom diameter, also known as Dane's particles, as whole HBV particles.
The markers for hepatitis b were detected as follows: (1) HBsAg and anti-HBs: HBsAg positivity indicates that HBV is currently in the infectious stage, anti-HBs is immunoprotective antibody positivity indicates that immunity to HBV has developed. The diagnosis basis of the chronic HBsAg carrier is that the chronic HBsAg carrier has no clinical symptoms and signs and normal liver function, and the HBsAg is continuously positive for more than 6 months. (2) HBeAg with anti-HBe: HBeAg positive is an index of active replication and strong infectivity of HBV, and the change of the tested serum from HBeAg positive to anti-HBe positive indicates that the disease has reduced infectivity. (3) HBcAg with anti-HBc: HBcAg positive suggests that there is a direct reaction of intact HBV particles and that HBV active replication is rarely used clinically due to the complex detection method. anti-HBc is a marker of HBV infection, and positive IgM for anti-HBc suggests that there is viral replication in the body at the early stage of infection. Three positive HBsAg, HBeAg and anti-HBc in chronic mild hepatitis B and HBsAg carriers have high infectious index that is difficult to negative.
In a preferred embodiment, the medicament further comprises one or more additional therapeutic or prophylactic agents. In a preferred embodiment, the additional therapeutic or prophylactic agent is selected from interferon, nitazoxanide or an analogue, nucleoside analogue or other drug for the treatment of HBV. In a preferred embodiment, the nucleoside analog is selected from entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and tenofovir alafenamide.
Analogs of nitazoxanide described above include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in CN102803203B, e.g., compounds of formula I:
wherein R is 1 Is the following group: hydroxy or C 1 -C 3 Alkanoyloxy; r is R 2 To R 5 Is H; r is R 6 Is CF (CF) 3 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the X is N, W is S, Y is CH.
Additional therapeutic or prophylactic agents:
in some embodiments, the additional therapeutic or prophylactic agent is selected from one or more of entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and tenofovir alafenamide, for example, from one of entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and tenofovir alafenamide, or from at least two of entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and tenofovir alafenamide.
Entecavir (Entecavir) is known by the chemical name 2-amino-1, 9-dihydro-9- [ (1S, 3R, 4S) -4-hydroxy-3- (hydroxymethyl) -2-methylenecyclopentane ] -6H-purin-6-one, and has the following structural formula:
US patent US5206244 discloses entecavir and its use for the treatment of hepatitis b virus; a novel method of entecavir synthesis is disclosed in WO 9809964; WO0164421 discloses low dose entecavir solid formulations.
Entecavir is a highly potent antiviral agent, developed by the american schdule company in the 90 th century, with a potent anti-HBV effect. It can be phosphorylated to an active triphosphate, which has a half-life of 15h in the cell. Entecavir triphosphates inhibit all three activities of the viral polymerase (reverse transcriptase) by competing with deoxyguanosine triphosphate, the natural substrate of HBV polymerase: (1) initiation of HBV polymerase; (2) formation of negative strand of pregenomic mRNA reverse transcription; (3) Synthesis of HBV DNA plus strand.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (English name: tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, TDF; chemical name is (R) - [ [2- (6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl) -1-methylethoxy ] methyl ] phosphonic acid diisopropyl oxycarbonyl methyl ester fumarate) is ester precursor of tenofovir, belongs to novel nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and has HBV virus inhibiting activity.
TDF is another novel ring-opened nucleoside phosphonate that was successfully developed by the us gilid company following adefovir dipivoxil, and was first marketed in the us 10 months 2001, and has been marketed in europe, australia, canada, and other countries.
TDF inhibits viral polymerase in vivo by competitively binding to natural deoxyribose substrates and terminates DNA strand synthesis by insertion into DNA. The main action mechanism is that the tenofovir is hydrolyzed into tenofovir after oral administration, the tenofovir is phosphorylated by cell kinase, and a metabolite tenofovir diphosphate with pharmacological activity is generated, the metabolite tenofovir diphosphate competes with 5 '-deoxyadenosine triphosphate to participate in the synthesis of virus DNA, and after entering the virus DNA, the DNA is prolonged and blocked due to the lack of 3' -OH groups, so that the replication of the virus is blocked. Clinical application shows that TDF has obvious anti-HBV virus curative effect and small toxic side effect, thus having great clinical application prospect.
Tenofovir alafenamide (Tenofovir Alafenamide), a prodrug of Tenofovir (Tenofovir), a novel Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI) developed by the american gilid science company. Compared with the previous generation of anti-hepatitis B similar drug tenofovir disoproxil TDF, the antiviral activity of tenofovir alafenamide is 10 times of that of tenofovir alafenamide, the stability in blood plasma is 200 times of that of tenofovir alafenamide, and the half life is 225 times higher than that of tenofovir alafenamide. Compared with TDF, tenofovir alafenamide only needs one tenth of TDF administration dose, and can achieve the same antiviral effect as TDF. Therefore, the tenofovir alafenamide is used for preventing or/and treating Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection, and has better curative effect, higher safety and lower drug resistance.

Data analysis
TABLE 5 percent HBV DNA inhibition (%)
TABLE 6 percentage of HBsAg inhibition and percentage of HBeAg inhibition
As shown in figure 1 of the drawings,
saquinavir has an inhibitory effect on HBV DNA. The inhibition rate of 10 mu M saquinavir on HBV DNA in HepG2-NTCP cells reaches 31.39%, and the inhibition rate of 10 mu M saquinavir+0.1 nM ETV on HBV DNA reaches 55.03%.
As shown in the figure 2 of the drawings,
saquinavir has an inhibitory effect on HBsAg. The inhibition rate of 10 mu M saquinavir to HBsAg in HepG2-NTCP cells reaches 45.00%; the inhibition rate of HBsAg by ETV of 10 mu M saquinavir+0.1 nM reaches 47.00%.
Compared with the ETV of 0.1nM without obvious inhibition effect on HBsAg, the inhibition effect of saquinavir on HBsAg is obvious, and the inhibition effect of high-dose saquinavir on HBsAg is better than that of low-dose group; when 10 mu M saquinavir is used in combination with 0.1nM ETV, the inhibition rate of HBsAg is not significantly improved compared with 10 mu M saquinavir.
As shown in the figure 3 of the drawings,
saquinavir has an inhibitory effect on HBeAg. The inhibition rate of 10 mu M saquinavir on HBeAg in HepG2-NTCP cells reaches 68.99%; the inhibition rate of 10 mu M saquinavir+0.1 nM ETV to HBeAg reaches 72.95%.
Compared with the ETV of 0.1nM without obvious inhibition effect on HBeAg, the high-dose saquinavir can better play the inhibition effect on HBeAg; when 10 mu M saquinavir is used in combination with 0.1nM ETV, the inhibition rate of HBeAg is not obviously improved compared with 10 mu M saquinavir.
The test results show that saquinavir has an inhibiting effect on HBV DNA, HBsAg and HBeAg, particularly has an obvious inhibiting effect on HBsAg and HBeAg, so that the saquinavir can be used as a candidate medicament for functionally curing hepatitis B and eliminating hepatitis B virus, and particularly when the saquinavir is combined with a nucleoside analogue medicament capable of reducing HBV titer but incapable of reducing HBsAg and HBeAg, for example, the nucleoside analogue medicament is firstly used for reducing the virus titer, so that when the virus content in a human body is lower, the saquinavir is used for further eliminating the HBsAg and the HBeAg, thereby being hopeful to further cure the virus even completely.
Although the present application has been described with reference to particular embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims.
