Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Triazolo-pyrimidine Derivatives as Novel Inhibitors of Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Secretion
摘要:
The high levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg)-bearing subviral particles in the serum of chronically infected individuals play an important role in suppressing HBV-specific immune response and are only mildly affected by the current small molecule therapies. Thus, a therapy that specifically reduces HBsAg serum levels could be used in combination therapy with nucleos(t)ide drugs or permit therapeutic vaccination for the treatment of HBV infection. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel triazolo-pyrimidine inhibitors (1, 3, and 4) of HBsAg cellular secretion, with activity against drug-resistant HBV variants. Extensive SAR led to substantial improvements in the EC50 of the parent compound, 5 (HBF-0259), with the best being 3c, with EC50 = 1.4 +/- 0.4 mu M, SI >= 36. The lead candidates, both la (PBHBV-001) and 3c (PBHBV-2-15), were well-tolerated in both normal and HBV-transgenic mice and exhibited acceptable pharmacokinetics and bioavailability in Sprague-Dawley rats.

A series of 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones 3a-l were synthesized in good to excellent yield by Michael addition of indole 1 with alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones 2a-l in presence of indium(III) sulphate (20 mol%). The structure of the title compounds were established by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, mass and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against five different cancer cell lines such as ACHN (human kidney adenocarcinoma), Panc1 (pancreatic), Calu1 (lung), H460 (non small cell lung), HCT116 (human colon cancer cell) and MCF10A (normal breast epithelium) using propidium iodide staining assay protocol. The result showed that the compounds 3e and 3l have excellent cytotoxic activity with the IC50 value ranging from 1.4-2.7 to 2.4-3.4 mu M, respectively, in comparison with the other compounds, Flavopiridol and Gemcitabine were employed as a positive control. The findings conferred 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones seem to be promising candidates for the development of new anticancer drugs.
