Description

DIHYDROPYRIMIDINE COMPOUNDS AND THEIR APPLICATION INPHARMACEUTICALS

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the priorities and benefits of Chinese Patent Application Nos. 201410126202.0 and 201410596489.3, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of china respectively on March 28, 2014 and October 29, 2014, which are incorporated hereby by reference in their entireties.

FIELD

The invention relates to dihydropyrimidine compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and further relates to uses of the conpounds or the pharmaceutical compositions in the manufacture of a medicament, especially for use in preventing, managing, treating or lessening a viral disease or an HBV disease.

BACKGROUND

The hepatitis B virus belongs to the family of hepadnaviridae. It can cause acutely and/or persistently or progressively chronic diseases. Many other clinical manifestations in the pathological morphology are also caused by HBV—in particular chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Additionally, coinfection with hepatitis D virus may have adverse effects on the progress of the disease.

The conventional medicaments approved to be used for treating chronic hepatitis are interferon and lamivudine. However, the interferon has just moderate activity but has an adverse side reaction. Although lamivudine has good activity, its resistance develops rapidly during the treatment and relapse effects often appear after the treatment has stopped. The IC₅₀ value of lamivudine (3-TC) is 300 nM (Science, 2003, 299, 893-896) .

Deres, et al, have reported heteroaryl-substituted dihydropyrimidine (HAP) compounds which were represented by Bay41-4109 and Bay39-5493, and these compounds play a role in blocking HBV replication by preventing the proper formation of viral core particles (nucleocapsids) . Bay41-4109 has demonstrated better drug metabolic parameters in clinical study (Science, 2003, 299, 893-896) . The study of these compounds’ mechanism of action indicated that through reacting with 113-143 amino acid residues of a core protein, heteroaryl-substituted dihydropyrimidine compounds have changed the angle between dimers which can form nucleocapsids, and led to forming unstably expanded nucleocapsids, which accelerate the degradation of the core protein (Biochem. Pharmacol., 2003, 66, 2273-2279) .

WO 2014029193 and CN 103626752 disclose dihydropyrimidine compounds and their application in pharmaceuticals, especially their uses in medicament for treating and preventing hepatitis B. CN 103626752 describes dihydropyrimidine racemic compounds substituted by carboxylic acid, which can inhibit the growth of the HBV in cell culture, wherein, the EC₅₀ of the compound of formular (II) is 360 nm.

SUMMARY

The invention disclosed herein provides a series of dihydropyrimidine compounds substituted by carboxylic acid, and all of the compounds of the invention are isomer forms which were split to gain by a large number of repeating experiments. For example, the compound of formular (II) is split to give the four isomer compounds of formular (III) , M1, M2, M3 and M4. Wherein, the EC₅₀ of M1, M2, M3 and M4 is 48 nm, 110 nm, >16.4 μM and >16.4 μM respectively. The EC₅₀ of M1, M2 are lower than the one of the compound of formular (II) , the EC₅₀ of M1 is lower than the one of M3 and M2, the EC₅₀ of M2 is lower than M4, besides, the big differences of pharmacokinetic parameters and liver microsome stability between isomers are impossible to be predicted when reading CN 103626752.

The inventors had researched the synthesis, antiviral activity, drug metabolism parameters and liver microsome stability of dihydropyrimidine compound isomers substituted by carboxylic acid and found the compound of the invention has an unexpected antiviral activity against HBV and a good character of drug metabolism. The compound of the invention can be effectively used as antiviral drugs, especially the drugs used for treating and/or preventing hepatitis B.

The invention relates to novel dihydropyrimidine compounds and pharmaceutical compositions, and their uses in the manufacture of a medicament for preventing, managing, treating or lessening a viral disease, especially hepatitis B (HBV) infection or a disease caused by hepatitis B infection. The inventors had researched the synthesis, antiviral activity, drug metabolism parameters and liver microsome stability of dihydropyrimidine compound isomers substituted by arboxylic acid. All of the compounds of the invention are isomer forms, the antiviral activity, drug metabolism parameters and liver microsome stability are very different among different isomers. An isomer compound having unexpectedly superior anti-HBV activity and drug metabolism was obtained.

Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, or geometric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope disclosed herein.

The term “prodrug” refers to a compound that is transformed in vivo into a compound of Formula (I) or (Ia) . Such a transformation can be affected, for example, by hydrolysis in blood or enzymatic transformation of the prodrug form to the parent form in blood or tissue. Prodrugs of the compounds disclosed herein may be, for example, esters. Esters that may be utilized as prodrugs in the present invention are phenyl esters, aliphatic (C_1-24) esters, acyloxymethyl esters, carbonates, carbamates and amino acid esters. For example, a compound disclosed herein that contains an OH group may be acylated at this position in its prodrug form. Other prodrug forms include phosphates, such as, for example those phosphates resulting from the phosphonation of an OH group on the parent compound. A thorough discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi et al., Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series； Roche et al., ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987； Rautio et al., Prodrugs: Design and Clinical Applications, Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2008, 7, 255-270, and Hecker et al., Prodrugs of Phosphates and Phosphonates, J Med. Chem., 2008, 51, 2328-2345, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein are within the scope of the invention. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms.

A “metabolite” is a product produced through metabolism in the body of a specified compound or salt thereof. Metabolites of a compound may be identified using routine techniques known in the art and their activities determined using tests such as those described herein. Such products may result for example from the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, deamidation, esterification, deesterification, enzyme cleavage, and the like, of the administered compound. Accordingly, the invention includes metabolites of compounds disclosed herein, including compounds produced by a process comprising contacting a compound disclosed herein with a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof.

Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow Parker, et al., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York and Eliel, et al., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds” , John Wiley &Sons, Inc., New York, 1994.

Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon or the like) of the compound (s) disclosed herein can be present in racemic or enantiomerically enriched, for example the (R) -, (S) -or (R, S) -configuration. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least 50 ％enantiomeric excess, at least 60 ％enantiomeric excess, at least 70 ％enantiomeric excess, at least 80 ％enantiomeric excess, at least 90 ％enantiomeric excess, at least 95 ％enantiomeric excess, or at least 99 ％enantiomeric excess in the (R) -or (S) -configuration.

It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein, including but not limited to, diastereomers, enantiomers and atropisomers, as well as mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L, or R and S, are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center (s) . The prefixes d and 1 or (+) and (-) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (-) or l meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50: 50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The term “racemic mixture” or “racemate” refers to an equimolar mixture of two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity.

The term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to structural isomers of different energies which are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. Where tautomerization is possible (e.g. in solution) , a chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be reached. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via migration of a proton, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations. Valence tautomers include interconversions by reorganization of some of the bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion of pentane-2, 4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerization is phenol-keto tautomerization. A specific example of phenol-keto tautomerization is the interconversion of pyridin-4-ol and pyridin-4 (lH) -one tautomers. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein are within the scope of the invention.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to organic or inorganic salts of a compound disclosed herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art.

The compounds of the present invention may inherently or by design form solvates with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents (including water) ； therefore, it is intended that the invention embrace both solvated and unsolvated forms.

Any formula given herein is also intended to represent isotopically unenriched forms as well as isotopically enriched forms of the compounds. Isotopically enriched compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, and chlorine, such as ²H (deuterium, D) , ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ¹²⁵I.

In another aspect, the compounds of the invention include isotopically enriched compounds as defined herein, for example those into which radioactive isotopes, such as ³H, ¹⁴C and ¹⁸F, or those into which non-radioactive isotopes, such as ²H and ¹³C are present.

In particular, an ¹⁸F-enriched compound may be particularly desirable for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically-enriched compounds of Formula (I) or (Ia) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying Examples and Preparations using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.

Further, substitution with heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium (i.e., ²H or D) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements or an improvement in therapeutic index. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent of a compound of the formula (I) or (Ia) . The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifical-ly deuterium, may be defined by the isotopic enrichment factor. The term "isotopic enrichment factor" as used herein means the ratio between the isotopic abundance and the natural abundance of a specified isotope.
