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 novel and practical approach to access saturated ketones from unsaturated ketone derivatives via a CS2/t-BuOK system in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is reported. The in situ generation of xanthate salt through the reaction of carbon disulfide and potassium tert-butoxide is essential to this transformation. Deuterium-labeling experiments demonstrated that DMSO can act as a hydrogen donor.
