Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The prevent invention relates to an echinocandin-based drug, and belongs to the field of medical chemistry.


BACKGROUND ART

Fungal infections can be divided into 4 categories according to the parts, of the human body where fungal infection occurs: superficial fungal infections, skin fungal infections, subcutaneous fungal infections and systemic fungal infections, in which the subcutaneous fungal infections and systemic fungal infections are also known as invasive fungal infections. Fungi can not only invade human skin, mucous membrane, deep tissues and internal organs, but also cause systemic disseminated infections with a high mortality rate. In 2022, WHO published the Fungal Priority Pathogens List to Guide Research, Development and Public Health Action, which listed common Aspergillus fumigatus, Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans and Candida auris in clinic as critical priority pathogens.


Invasive fungal infections are an important cause of the persistently high morbidity and mortality, and these infections are mostly found in high-risk populations such as those with immunodeficiency, organ or bone marrow transplantation, and severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. At present, the antifungal drugs available in the market are very limited, mainly including triazole-based antifungal drugs, polyene-based antifungal drugs and echinocandin-based antifungal drugs. In addition, the continuous emergence of drug-resistant strains aggravates the challenges posed by invasive fungal infections, so it is particularly urgent to develop a variety of new antifungal agents to meet the current clinical needs.


β-(1,3)-D-glucan is an important component for constituting the fungal cell wall, and is mainly synthesized via enzymes located in the cell membrane. Echinocandin-based drugs can non-competitively inhibit β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase and interfere with the synthesis of β-(1,3)-D-glucan so as to destroy the integrity of a fungal cell wall, resulting in the lysis and death of fungal cells. Echinocandin-based drugs are the first-line drugs for the treatment of invasive candidiasis, which can directly act on the cell wall of fungi. Since human cells do not contain cell walls, these drugs have low toxicity and are safe to human body.


Caspofungin is the earliest echinocandin-based drug for treating fungal infections in clinic, which can effectively treat candidiasis and invasive aspergillosis that is ineffective or intolerant to other treatments. The drug is only administered by injection, with poor flexibility. The drug is mostly used in the early stage, and oral preparations such as voriconazole are mainly used in maintenance treatment in the late stage. In addition, the drug needs to be stored at 2° C.-8° C., and have certain requirements for production capacity.


In March 2023, rezafungin was approved by the FDA for the treatment of candidal bacteremia and invasive candidiasis.

Compared with previous generations of drugs, rezafungin has a longer half-life, significantly reducing the frequency of administration over the treatment cycle. However, the recommended dose of this drug is large, and after administration, patients will experience side effects such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and constipation. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new generation of echinocandin-based drugs with higher efficiency.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a new compound, such as a compound as shown in formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or an isomer thereof,

In the present invention, the disease caused by a fungal infection is selected from tinea capitis, tinea corporis, tinea pedis, onychomycosis, perionychomycosis, chromophytosis, thrush, vaginal candidiasis, respiratory candidiasis, biliary tract candidiasis, esophageal candidiasis, urinary tract candidiasis, systemic candidiasis, mucocutaneous candidiasis, aspergillosis, mucormycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, North America blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, sporotrichosis, fungal rhino-sinusitis or chronic paranasal inflammation.


Further, the disease caused by a fungal infection is selected from candidal bacteremia and invasive candidiasis.


The present invention further provides a method for preventing a fungal infection in a patient, wherein the method is performed by administering to the patient the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention in an amount sufficient to prevent the infection. For example, the method of the present disclosure can be used for a preventive treatment in patients preparing for invasive medical interventions (such as preparing for surgery, receiving transplantation, receiving stem cell therapy, receiving graft, receiving prosthesis, receiving long-term or frequent intravenous catheterization, or receiving treatments in an intensive care unit), in immunocompromised patients (such as patients with cancers, patients with HIV/AIDS, or patients taking immunosuppressants), or in patients undergoing a long-term antibiotic therapy.


The present invention also provides a method for preventing, stabilizing, or inhibiting the growth of fungi or killing fungi, wherein the method is performed by bringing fungi or a site susceptible to fungal growth into contact with the compound of the present invention or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.


The terms “enough amount” and “sufficient amount” refer to the amount of a drug which is required for the treatment or prevention of an infection. The sufficient amount used to implement the present disclosure for the curative treatment or preventive treatment of a disorder caused by or contributed by an infection varies according to the mode of administration, the type of the infection, and the age, weight and general health of a patient.


The so-called “fungal infection” refers to the invasion of a host by a pathogenic fungus. For example, an infection may include the overgrowth of a fungus that is normally present in the body or on the body surface of a patient or the growth of a fungus that is normally not present in the body or on the body surface of a patient. More generally, a fungal infection can be any situation in which the presence of a fungal population is harmful to a host organism. Thus, when an excess fungal population is present in the body or on the body surface of a patient, or when the presence of a fungal population impairs cells or other tissues of a patient, the patient “suffers” from a fungal infection.


The term “treatment” refers to the administration of a pharmaceutical composition for the purpose of prevention and/or treatment. For the term “prevention of a disease”, it refers to the preventive treatment of a subject who does not have a disease but is susceptible to a specific disease or at risk of developing a specific disease. For the term “treatment of a disease”, it refers to the treatment of a patient who has already suffered from a disease to improve or stabilize the disorder of the patient.

Preparation of Fungal Inoculation Solution

Candida:

A cryopreserved strain was passaged at least 2 times. A single colony was picked and resuspended in a physiological saline or sterile water tube, and the tube was subjected to vortex shaking. The Candida suspension was adjusted to 0.5 McF (1×106-5×106 CFU/mL) at a wavelength of 530 nm by using a spectrophotometer. After being diluted 50 times with physiological saline, the Candida suspension was diluted 20 times with 1×RPMI 1640 broth (1×103-5×103 CFU/mL). 10 μL of the diluted Candida suspension was coated on an SDA plate for colony counting, with a range of about 10-50 single colonies.


After a prepared drug sensitive plate was completely dissolved at room temperature, the Candida suspension was added to the 96-well plate by using a multi-channel pipettor at 100 μL/well. At this time, the concentration of Candida in each well should be 0.5×103-2.5×103 CFU/mL.

Aspergillus was passaged onto an SDA plate for cultivation for 48 h-7 d at 35° C. to induce sporulation. The colonies on the plate were covered with 0.85% physiological saline (1 mL) or sterile water (polysorbate 20 was added to a final concentration of 0.1%-0.01%). The surface of the culture medium was gently wiped with a sterile cotton swab (note: do not puncture the culture medium). The resuspension of spore hyphae was transferred to a sterile test tube, and left to stand for 3-5 min to precipitate heavier particles. The homogeneous suspension on the upper layer was transferred to a new sterile test tube, and the tube was capped closely, and subjected to vortex shaking for 15 s (note: the suspension can produce an aerosol when the cap is reopened). The concentration of the suspension was adjusted to an OD value of 0.09-0.13 at 530 nm by using a spectrophotometer. The suspension was diluted 50 times with 1×RPMI 1640. Within 2 h after dilution, 100 μL of the diluted suspension was added to each well in a 96-well plate (the concentration of spores in the final drug sensitive plate should be 0.4×104-5×104 CFU/mL).


Colony counting: The suspension after dilution with RPMI 1640 was further diluted 10 times, 10 μL of the diluted suspension was coated on an SDA plate, cultivation was performed at 28° C., observation was performed every day, and counting was immediately performed after the colonies were visible to naked eyes.


Cultivation

A yeast-type fungus assay plate was placed in an incubator, and incubated for 24 h at 35° C. and 85% humidity, and then the MIC values were read. For echinocandin-based drugs, Aspergillus was incubated for 21-26 h at 28° C., and then the MEC results were read.


MIC or MEC Interpretation

Yeast-type fungi: A 96-well plate was attached with a disposable parafilm, shaken for uniformly mixing, and observed with naked eyes by using a plate reader microscope. Compared with a growth control, the minimum compound concentration corresponding to >50% growth inhibition was defined as MIC. Pictures were taken and saved by using an automated plate reader.



Aspergillus: For echinocandin-based drugs, compared to a growth control, the minimum drug concentration at which hyphae were able to form small, round and compact hyphal particles under a plate reader microscope was defined as MEC. In order to accurately determine MEC value, vortex oscillation should not be allowed before reading the plate.
