Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the field of pharmaceutics, and particularly relates to a boric acid derivative as a β-lactamase inhibitor.


BACKGROUND

β-Lactam antibiotics are antibacterial agents with the widest clinical application and the best anti-infective effect. The most important antibiotics that are currently available are several classes of compounds containing a β-lactam ring, including penicillins, penems, carbapenems, cephalosporins, monobactams and sulfactams. These β-lactam antibiotics inhibit cell wall biosynthesis by binding to proteins called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are essential for the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a major component of the cell wall of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.


β-Lactam antibiotics are still very important worldwide: however, various infectious pathogens have developed resistance to β-lactamase antibiotics, which leads to a reduction in efficacy against bacterial infections. The most significant mechanism of resistance is the production of class A, class C and class D β-lactamases with serine residues at the active center. These enzymes decompose β-lactam antibiotics, causing the loss of antibacterial activity. Class A β-lactamases have substrate specificity mainly for penicillins. Class C β-lactamases have substrate specificity mainly for cephalosporins. As commercially available β-lactamase inhibitors, clavulanic acid, sulbactam and tazobactam are known. These inhibitors are mainly effective against class A β-lactamase-producing bacteria and are used in combination with penicillin-based antibacterial agents. However, more than 250 classes of β-lactamases have been reported to date. In addition to the expansion of class C β-lactamases and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) classified as classes A and D, drug-resistant bacteria which produce class A KPC-2 that decomposes even carbapenems, which are β-lactam-based antibacterial agents of last resort, are also considered a problem.


In recent years, novel β-lactamase inhibitors have been the focus of development, such as QPX-7728 and VNRX-5133. WO2014107536, WO2014089365, WO2018005662 and WO2019226931 disclose a range of β-lactamase inhibitors, with a view to reducing resistance to β-lactamase inhibitors.

“Optional” or “optionally” means that the event or circumstance subsequently described may, but does not necessarily, occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs or does not occur. For example, “a heterocyclyl group optionally substituted with alkyl” means that the alkyl may, but does not necessarily, exist, and that the description includes instances where the heterocyclyl group is or is not substituted with the alkyl.


“Substituted” means that one or more, preferably up to 5, more preferably 1 to 3 hydrogen atoms in the group are independently substituted with a corresponding number of substituents. It goes without saying that a substituent is only in its possible chemical position, and those skilled in the art will be able to determine (experimentally or theoretically) possible or impossible substitution without undue effort.


In the chemical structure of the compound described herein, a “custom-character” bond is not specified with a configuration: that is, a “custom-character” bond may be “custom-character” or “custom-character”, or includes both “custom-character” and “custom-character” configurations. In the chemical structure of the compound described herein, a bond “custom-character” is not specified with a configuration; that is, it may be in a Z configuration or an E configuration, or contains both configurations.


The present disclosure also includes isotopically-labeled forms of the compound of the present application, which are identical to those described herein but have one or more atoms replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compound of the present application include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, iodine, and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 13N, 15N, 15O, 17O, 18O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F, 123I, 125I and 36Cl.


The compound of the present disclosure may contain an unnatural proportion of atomic isotope at one or more of the atoms that constitute the compound. For example, the compound can be labeled with a radioisotope, such as tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or C-14 (14C). For example, hydrogen may be substituted with deuterium to form a deuterated drug, and the bond formed by deuterium and carbon is firmer than a bond formed by common hydrogen and carbon. The deuterated drug has the advantages of reduced toxic and side effects, increased drug stability, enhanced efficacy, prolonged drug biological half-life period and the like compared with an undeuterized drug. All isotopic variations of the compound of the present application, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be included within the scope of the present application.


Furthermore, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) may provide certain therapeutic advantages (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dose requirement) resulting from greater metabolic stability and hence may be preferred in some circumstances in which deuterium substitution may be partial or complete, wherein partial deuterium substitution refers to substitution of at least one hydrogen with at least one deuterium.

Subsequently, 15 μL was transferred from column 1 to column 2 using a pipette and well mixed gently, and then 15 μL of solution was transferred from column 2 to column 3: the serial dilution process proceeded to column 10 (200×β-lactamase inhibitor working solutions were prepared). The two antibiotics were diluted with corresponding solvents to form 1.6 mg/mL solutions.


1 μL of 200×B-lactamase inhibitor solution and 1 μL of 1.6 mg/mL antibiotic were added to a new 96-well round-bottom plate. The plate that had been incubated overnight was taken out of the incubator, and several monoclones were picked into normal saline using an inoculating loop. The bacterial solution was adjusted to a concentration of about 1.0×108CFU/mL and diluted 200-fold with medium, and 198 μL of the resulting bacterial solution was added to the test plate.

3. Procedures

The biosafety cabinet was sterilized with ultraviolet light for 30 min. Glycerol tubes were taken out of a −80° C. freezer, and streaks were gently formed in the glycerol tubes using inoculating loops. Bacteria were inoculated onto MHIIA solid plates. The plates were incubated overnight in a 37° C. incubator.


30 μL of compound stock solution was added to column 1 of a 96-well v-bottom plate, and DMSO was added to columns 2-10. Subsequently, 15 μL was transferred from column 1 to column 2 using a pipette and well mixed gently, and then 15 μL of solution was transferred from column 2 to column 3; the serial dilution process proceeded to column 10 (200×β-lactamase inhibitor working solutions were prepared). The antibiotic was diluted with a corresponding solvent to form a 1.6 mg/mL solution.


The minimum inhibitory concentrations of QPX-7728 and compound 1-1-Na for three different strains in the presence of cefepime are shown in the table below.

Test Example 4
1. Objective

To compare the single intravenous administration exposures of compound 1-1-Na and the QPX7728 disodium salt in ICR mice.


2. Materials

The compound QPX-7728 disodium salt (synthesized according to CN109415386) and compound 1-1-Na (calculated amount of free drug=weighed amount×correction factor) were accurately weighed out, dissolved first in sterile water for injection to 40 mg/mL, and then diluted with normal saline to concentrations for administration. The solutions were prepared on the day of administration and stored at 4° C.


3. Procedures

Single intravenous injections were administered to ICR mice, which were grouped as follows. Blood was collected from the saphenous vein or the fundus venous plexus at 0.083 h, 0.25 h, 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h and 12 h after administration (about 0.1 mL/time point). A biological analysis method was developed to determine plasma concentrations at different time points, and related pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated.
