The present disclosure relates to the field of medicine, and specifically, to a macrocyclic peptidomimetic protease inhibitor and use thereof.
Coronavirus pneumonia (Covid-19), caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-Cov-2, leads to a global pandemic in year 2020, promoting scientists all over the world to actively participate in the development of drugs against the novel coronavirus. Small-molecule drugs are very promising in treating this coronavirus because these drugs can be taken orally and are less affected by variants, which provides advantages in price and production capacity. At present, the approved small-molecule drugs for this coronavirus include Merck's Molnupiravir based on an inhibitor targeting RdRp, Pfizer's Paxlovid, and Gilead's Remdesivir. Nirmatrelvir, sold under the brand name Paxlovid, is a co-packaged medication used as the treatment for Covid-19 and needs to be combined with the CYP enzyme inhibitor Ritonavir. Although Nirmatrelvir may provide good efficacy, there is great risk on patients who have underlying diseases or even cannot be applied there-to.
Therefore, there is still a need to develop a medicine for monotherapy (e.g., use of a single medication) for treating coronavirus.

The foregoing content describes only some aspects of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure is not limited to these aspects. These aspects and other aspects will be described more specifically and completely below.
The present disclosure is made based on findings and knowledge of the following facts and issues. Pfizer's molecule PF-07321332 is metabolized quickly in the body, and therefore Ritonavir is required to prolong the action of the molecule in the body. The macrocyclic peptidomimetic molecule provided in the present disclosure is a desirable solution to solve the problems of metabolic stability, and also provides desirable activity, which is significantly promising for future treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia.
Examples of some implementations of the present disclosure described in detail herein are illustrated with the accompanying structural and chemical formulas. The present disclosure is intended to cover all alternative, modified, and equivalent technical solutions, which are all included within the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the claims. A person skilled in the art has to recognize that many methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described in the present disclosure can be used for implementing the present disclosure. The present disclosure is by no means limited to the methods and materials described in the present disclosure. When one or more of the referenced literature, patents, and similar materials differ from or contradict the present disclosure (including, but not limited to, the terms defined, application of the terms, the techniques described, and the like), the present disclosure prevails.
It is to be further recognized that some features of the present disclosure are described in multiple separate implementations for clarity, or may be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the present disclosure are described in a single implementation for brevity, or may be provided separately or in any proper sub-combination.
Unless otherwise indicated, technical and scientific terms used in the present disclosure have the same meanings as those conventionally understood by a person skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. Unless otherwise indicated, all patent disclosure publications cited in all the content disclosed by the present disclosure are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The following definitions are applied in the present disclosure unless otherwise indicated. For the purpose of the present disclosure, chemical elements are defined according to the Periodic Table of Elements. CAS database, and Handbook of Chemical Drugs, 75th Ed. 1994. In addition, general principles of organic chemistry are described in “Organic Chemistry”. Thomas Sorrell. University Science Books. Sausalito, 1999, and “March's Advanced Organic Chemistry”. Michael B. Smith and Jerry March. John Wiley & Sons, New York, 2007, so all content of the present disclosure incorporates references.
The term “subject” used in the present disclosure refers to an animal. Typically, the animal is a mammal. The subject also refers to a primate (for example, a human), a cow, a sheep, a goat, a horse, a dog, a cat, a rabbit, a rat, a mouse, a fish, a bird, and the like. In some embodiments, the subject is a primate. In some other embodiments, the subject is a human.
The terms “subject”, “treated object”, and “patient” used in the present disclosure are used interchangeably. The terms “subject”, “treated object”, and “patient” refer to animals (such as chickens, quails, turkeys, or other birds or mammals), particularly “mammals” including non-primates (such as cows, pigs, horses, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, cats, dogs, and mice) and primates (such as monkeys, chimpanzees, and humans), more particularly humans. In an implementation, the treated object is a non-human animal, for example, a domestic animal (such as a horse, a cow; a pig, or a goat) or a pet (such as a dog, a cat, a guinea pig, or a rabbit). In some other embodiments, the “patient” refers to a human.
The present disclosure also includes isotopic-labeled compounds that are identical to those compounds described herein except for the fact that one or more atoms are substituted with atoms with an atomic mass or a mass number different from that of naturally occurring atoms. Exemplary isotopes may also be introduced into the compounds of the present disclosure, including isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 16O, 17O, 31P, 32P, 36S, 18F, and 37Cl.
The compounds of the present disclosure including the foregoing isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds, are all included within the scope of the present disclosure. The compounds of the present disclosure labeled by isotopes, for example, radioisotopes such as 3H and 14C, can be used for drug and/or substrate tissue distribution analysis. Tritium 3H and carbon-14 14C are particularly preferred due to ease of preparation and detection. In addition, substitution with a heavy isotope, for example, deuterium 2H, can provide some therapeutic advantages from higher metabolic stability, for example, an increased in vivo half-life or a reduced dosage requirement. Therefore, the heavy isotope may be preferred in some cases.
The stereochemical definitions and conventions used in the present disclosure are generally in accordance with S. P. Parker. Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984). McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel. E, and Wilen. S., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds”. John Wiley & Sons. Inc., New York, 1994. The compound of the present disclosure may include asymmetric centers or chiral centers, and thus exists in different stereoisomeric forms. It is anticipated that all stereoisomeric forms of the compound of the present disclosure, including, but not limited to, diastereoisomers, enantiomers, atropisomers, and mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, are also included within the scope of the present disclosure. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, that is, the compounds have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. When describing optically active compounds, the prefixes D and L or R and S′ are used to denote the absolute configuration of a molecule based on a chiral center (or multiple chiral centers) in the molecule. The prefixes d and/or (+) and (−) are symbols that indicate the rotation of plane-polarized light caused by the compound. (−) or/indicates that the compound is levorotatory. The compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of each other. Specifically, stereoisomers may also be referred to as enantiomers, and a mixture of the isomers is usually referred to as a mixture of the enantiomers. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or racemate. The racemic mixture or racemate may occur when there is no stereoselectivity or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or method.
Based on selection of raw materials and methods, the compound of the present disclosure may exist in the form of one of possible isomers or a mixture thereof, for example, as a pure optical isomer or as an isomer mixture such as a mixture of racemates and diastereoisomers, depending on a quantity of asymmetric carbon atoms. The optical (R)- or(S)-isomer may be prepared with chiral synthons or chiral preparations, or may be split using existing techniques. If this compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be in the E or Z configuration. If this compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl group, the substituent of the cycloalkyl group may be in the cis- or trans-configuration.
The compound of the present disclosure may include asymmetric centers or chiral centers, and thus exists in different stereoisomer forms. It is anticipated that all stereoisomer forms of the compound of the present disclosure, including, but not limited to, diastereoisomers, enantiomers, atropisomers, geometric (or conformational) isomers, and mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, are included within the scope of the present disclosure.
Unless otherwise indicated, the structure described in the present disclosure also denotes all isomers (such as enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers, and geometric (or conformational) isomers) including this structure, for example, R and S conformations of respective asymmetric centers. (Z) and (E) double-bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, a single stereochemical isomer, a mixture of enantiomers, a mixture of diastereomers, and a mixture of geometric (or conformational) isomers of the compound of the present disclosure are within the scope of the present disclosure.
The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers of different energies that can be interconverted through a low energy barrier. If tautomerization is possible (for example, in a solution), chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be achieved. For example, proton tautomers (also referred to as prototropic tautomers) include interconversion by protolysis, for example, keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers include interconversion by recombination of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion of pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypentyl-3-enyl-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerization is phenol-keto tautomerization. A specific example of phenol-keto tautomerization is the interconversion of pyridine-4-ol and pyridine-4 (1H)-keto tautomers. Unless otherwise indicated, all tautomer forms of the compound of the present disclosure are within the scope of the present disclosure.
The term “nitrogen oxide” used in the present disclosure refers to an N-oxide that can be formed by oxidizing one or more nitrogen atoms when the compound contains several amine functional groups. A particular example of the N-oxide is an N-oxides of tertiary amine or an N-oxide containing nitrogen heterocyclic atoms. Corresponding amine may be treated with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or a peracid (such as peroxycarboxylic acid) to form an N-oxide (see Advanced Organic Chemistry, Wiley Interscience, 4th edition, Jerry March, pages). In particular, the N-oxide may be prepared by the method of L. W. Deady (Syn. Comm. 1977, 7, 509-514). For example, an amine compound undergoes a reaction with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane.
The term “solvate” in the present disclosure refers to an associate formed by one or more solvent molecules with the compound of the present disclosure. A solvent that forms the solvate includes, but is not limited to, water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and aminoethanol. The term “hydrate” refers to an associate formed by water as the solvent molecule.
The term “metabolite” refers to a product obtained by metabolism of a specific compound or its salt in the body. A metabolite of a compound may be identified by known techniques, and its activity may be characterized by experimental methods as described in the present disclosure. Such product may be obtained by oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, deamidation, esterification, de-esterification, enzymatic lysis, and the like of an administered compound. Correspondingly, the present disclosure includes metabolites of the compounds, including metabolites resulting from sufficient contact between the compounds of the present disclosure and mammals for a period of time.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” used in the present disclosure refers to an organic salt and an inorganic salt of the compound of the present disclosure. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt is well known in the art, as documented in S. M. Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66:1-19. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt formed by non-toxic acid includes, but is not limited to, inorganic acid salts formed by reaction with amino groups such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, phosphate, sulfate, and perchlorate, and organic acid salts such as acetate, oxalate, maleate, tartrate, citrate, succinate, and malonate. These salts may be obtained by other methods such as ion exchange as documented in the literature of books. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentylpropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, caproate, hydriodate, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalene sulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, palmitate, pamoate, pectate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, pentanoate, and the like. Salts obtained with proper alkali include salts of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, ammonium, and N+(C1-4 alkyl)4. The present disclosure is also intended to conceptualize quaternary ammonium salts formed by any compound including an N group. Water-soluble or oil-soluble or disperse products can be obtained by quaternization. Salts of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals include salts of sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt further includes proper and non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium salts, and amine cations formed by counter ions, such as halides, hydroxides, carboxylates, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates. C1-8 sulfonates, and aromatic sulfonates.
The term “prodrug” used in the present disclosure indicates a compound that converts in vivo into the compound shown in formula (I). Such conversion is affected by hydrolysis of the prodrug in the blood or enzymatic conversion to a parent structure in the blood or tissue. The prodrug compounds of the present disclosure may be esters. Examples of existing applications in which esters can be used as prodrugs are phenyl esters, aliphatic (C1-24) esters, acyloxy methyl esters, carbonates, carbamates, and amino acid esters. For example, if a compound in the present disclosure includes a hydroxyl group, the compound can be acylated to obtain a compound in the form of a prodrug. Other prodrug forms include phosphate esters. For example, these compounds in the form of phosphate esters are obtained by phosphorylating hydroxyl groups on parent structures. For a complete discussion of the prodrug, refer to the following literature: T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A. C. S. Symposium Series, Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, J. Rautio et al., Prodrugs: Design and Clinical Applications, Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2008, 7, 255-270, and S. J. Hecker et al., Prodrugs of Phosphates and Phosphonates, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2008, 51, 2328-2345.
Any asymmetric atoms (such as carbon) of the compound of the present disclosure may be present in a racemate-enriched or enantiomer-enriched form, for example, in the (R)-, (S)-, or (R, S)-configuration. In some embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least a 50% enantiomeric excess, at least a 60% enantiomeric excess, at least a 70% enantiomeric excess, at least an 80% enantiomeric excess, at least a 90% enantiomeric excess, at least a 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least a 99% enantiomeric excess in the (R)- or(S)-configuration. If possible, a substituent on atoms with an unsaturated double bond may be in the cis-(Z)- or trans-(E)-form.
Therefore, as described in the present disclosure, the compound of the present disclosure may exist in the form of a possible isomer, a rotamer, an atropisomer, a tautomer, or a mixture thereof, for example, in the form of a substantially pure geometric (cis- or trans-) isomer, a diastereoisomer, an optical isomer (enantiomer), a racemate, or a mixture thereof.
Any resulting mixture of isomers may be separated into pure or substantially pure geometric or optical isomers, diastereoisomers, and racemates based on physicochemical differences of the components, for example, by chromatography and/or stepwise crystallization.
A racemate of any resulting end product or intermediate may be split into optical enantiomers by known methods familiar to a person skilled in the art, for example, by separating the obtained diastereoisomeric salt thereof. A racemic product may also be separated by chiral chromatography, for example, by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a chiral adsorbent. Particularly, an enantiomer may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis (for example. Jacques, et al., Enantiomers. Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2nd Ed. Robert E. Gawley, Jeffrey Aube, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 2012); Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen. S. H. Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ, of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972)).
The compound of the present disclosure may be optionally substituted with one or more substituents as the compounds of the general formulas above, or as the particular examples, subclasses, and classes of compounds included in the present disclosure that are in the embodiments. It is to be understood that the term “optionally substituted” is interchangeable with the term “substituted or unsubstituted”. The term “optionally” or “optional” means that an event or condition subsequently described may, but is not required to, occur, and that the description includes a case in which the event or condition occurs as well as a case in which the event or condition does not occur. In general, the term “optionally”, whether or not preceding the term “substituted”, indicates that one or more hydrogen atoms in a given structure are substituted with a specific substituent. Unless otherwise indicated, an optional substituent may substitute for any substitutable position of the group. When more than one position of a given structural formula can be substituted with one or more substituents selected from a specific group, the substituents may substitute for the positions uniformly or differently. The substituent may be, but is not limited to, F, Cl, Br, CN, N3, OH, NH2, NO2, oxo (═O), —C(═O)Ra, —C(═O)ORb, —S(═O)2Rb, —C(═O)NRcRd, —NC(═O)RcRd, —ORb, —NRcRd, RbO—C1-4 alkylene, RdRcN—C1-4 alkylene, C1-6 alkyl, C1-6 aliphatic, C1-6 haloalkyl, C1-6 alkoxy, C1-6 alkylamino, C2-6 alkenyl, C2-6 alkynyl, C3-8 cycloalkyl, C3-8 cycloalkyl-C1-4 alkylene, heterocyclyl including 3-12 atoms, (heterocyclyl including 3-12 atoms)-C1-4 alkylene, C6-10 aryl, C6-10 aryl-C1-4 alkylene, heteroaryl including 5-14 atoms, or (heteroaryl including 5-14 atoms)-C1-4 alkylene. Ra, Rb, Rc, and Rd are defined in the present disclosure as above.
In addition, unless otherwise explicitly indicated, the descriptions “each independently” and “independently” are interchangeable in the present disclosure, and are to be broadly construed to mean either that specific options expressed between the same symbols do not affect each other in different groups, or that specific options expressed between the same symbols do not affect each other in the same groups.
In various parts of this specification, the substituents of the compounds disclosed herein are described based on group types or ranges. In particular, the present disclosure includes independent sub-combinations of members of these group types and ranges. For example, the term “C1-6 alkyl” specifically refers to independently disclosed methyl, ethyl, C3 alkyl, C4 alkyl, C5 alkyl, and C6 alkyl.
A linker substituent is described in various parts of the present disclosure. When the structure clearly requires a linker group, the Markush variables listed for the group are to be understood as linker groups. For example, if the structure requires a linker group and the Markush variables for the group are defined and listed as “alkyl” or “aryl”, it is to be understood that the “alkyl” or “aryl” respectively indicates a linked alkylene group or arylene group.
The term “alkyl” or “alkyl group” used in the present disclosure denotes a monovalent hydrocarbon atomic group with a saturated straight or branched chain containing, for example, 1-20 carbon atoms.

An exact amount of the compound to be administered to a treated object depends on an administration mode, severity, and characteristics of the treated object such as health status, age, gender, weight, and tolerance to the drug. A technician can determine a proper dose based on these and other factors. When administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, for example, at least one of other drugs against coronaviruses, drugs suppressing cytokine storms, drugs boosting immunity, and drugs regulating intestinal flora, the “effective amount” of the second agent depends on the type of the drug being used. Proper dosages of approved agents are known and may be adjusted by a technician based on the condition of a treated object, the type of symptoms, and the amount of the compound of the present disclosure that is used. For an unspecified amount, the effective amount can be adopted. For example, the compound of the present disclosure may be administered to a treated object for therapeutic or prophylactic treatment in a dose range of about 0.01-100 mg/weight/day.
The term “treatment” used in the present disclosure refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic treatment.

In a particular implementation, the therapeutic treatment includes improving at least one measurable physical parameter of the symptom of the coronavirus infection. In other embodiments, the therapeutic treatment includes inhibiting the progression of the symptom of the coronavirus infection by (for example) stabilizing the recognizable symptom physically or by (for example) stabilizing the physical parameter physiologically or physically. In other embodiments, the therapeutic treatment includes alleviating or stabilizing a disease of the coronavirus infection, such as respiratory distress.

Kocienski, Protecting Groups, Thieme, Stuttgart, 2005.
The genomic data shows that the novel coronavirus is mainly translated into two multimeric proteins: pp1a and pp1ab. These multimeric proteins are hydrolyzed by the main protease (Mpro), also referred to as 3C-like protease (3CL pro), and papain-like protease (PL Pro) into functional proteins. These proteases are necessary for replication of viruses such as RdRp or nsp13. Without these functional proteins being released by hydrolysis, viruses cannot complete replication. Therefore, the inhibition of the function of Mpro of viruses can stop viral replication in the human body. In addition, Mpro is conserved in coronaviruses. For example, there are 96% identity and 100% identity between SARS-Cov-2 and SARS-Cov-1 respectively on a main protease sequence and active sites. It has been reported that coronavirus Mpro can specifically cleave the multimeric protein pp1ab (790 kDa) at 11 cleavage sites, whereas none of the human proteases have similar cleavage specificity. This indicates that high selectivity and low toxicity of drugs can be achieved by targeting Mpro of viruses, making Mpro one of the highly desirable antiviral targets. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective inhibitor against viral Mpro.
The present disclosure provides a macrocyclic peptidomimetic inhibitor with a novel structure that can be reversibly covalently bound to novel coronavirus Mpro, and a preparation method and use thereof. Such compound shows strong inhibitory activity against Mpro, and therefore has the potential to be used as a novel Mpro inhibitor for the prevention and treatment of novel coronavirus infections.

The pharmaceutically usable salt in the present disclosure may be synthesized from a parent compound and a basic or acidic part by existing chemical methods. Generally, such salts may be prepared by reacting free acid forms of these compounds with stoichiometric amounts of proper alkalis (such as hydroxides, carbonates, and bicarbonates of Na, Ca, Mg, or K), or by reacting free alkali forms of these compounds with stoichiometric amounts of proper acids. Such reactions are usually carried out in water or organic solvents or mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, a non-aqueous medium such as ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile is required. Lists of some other proper salts can be found in, for example, “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences”, 20th edition, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., (1985) and “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use”, Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2002).
In addition, the compound of the present disclosure, including its salt, can also be obtained in a form of a hydrate, or includes other solvents for crystallization. The compound of the present disclosure can form a solvate with a pharmaceutically usable solvent (including water) inherently or by design. Therefore, the present disclosure is intended to include solvated and unsolvated forms.
Any structural formulas given in the present disclosure are also intended to indicate these compounds in unlabeled forms and in isotopic-labeled forms. An isotopic-labeled compound has the structure shown in the general formula given in the present disclosure, except that one or more atoms are substituted by atoms with the selected atomic weight or mass number. Exemplary isotopes may be introduced into the compounds of the present disclosure, including isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 3, 14C, 15N, 18F, 31P, 32P, 36S, 37Cl, or 1251.
In addition, the compound of the present disclosure includes compounds that are defined in the present disclosure and that are labeled by various isotopes, for example, those compounds in which radioisotopes such as 3H, 14C, and 18F are present, or compounds in which non-radioisotopes such as 2H and 13C are present. Such isotopic-labeled compounds may be used in metabolic studies (with 14C), reaction kinetics studies (for example, with 2H or 3H), and detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) that includes determination of drug or substrate tissue distribution, or may be used in radiotherapy of patients. 18F-labeled compounds are particularly desirable for PET or SPECT studies. The isotopic-labeled compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by existing techniques familiar to a person skilled in the art or by replacing originally used unlabeled reagents with proper isotopic-labeled reagents, as described in the embodiments and preparation processes in the present disclosure.
In addition, substitution with a heavy isotope, particularly deuterium (2H or D), can provide some therapeutic advantages that result from higher metabolic stability, for example, from an increased in vivo half-life, a reduced dosage requirement, or an improved therapeutic index. It is to be understood that deuterium in this context is used as a substituent of the compound of formula (I). The concentration of a heavy isotope, particularly deuterium, may be defined by an isotope enrichment factor. The term “isotope enrichment factor” used in the present disclosure refers to a ratio of an isotopic abundance to a natural abundance of a designated isotope. If a substituent of the compound of the present disclosure is designated as deuterium, the compound has, for each designated deuterium atom, at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium doping at each designated deuterium atom), at least 4000 (60% deuterium doping), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium doping), at least 5000 (75% deuterium doping), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium doping), at least 6000 (90% deuterium doping), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium doping), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium doping), at least 6600 (99% deuterium doping), or at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium doping) isotope enrichment factors. The pharmaceutically usable solvate in the present disclosure includes those solvates in which a crystallizing solvent may be isotopically substituted, such as D2O, acetone-d6, or DMSO-d6.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition includes an effective amount of at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, adjuvant, or medium.
The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may contain inert ingredients that do not excessively inhibit the biological activity of the compound. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier has to be biocompatible, for example, non-toxic, non-inflammatory, non-immunogenic, or no other adverse reactions or side effects once administered to patients, and can be prepared by using standard pharmaceutical techniques.
As described in the present disclosure, the pharmaceutical composition or pharmaceutically acceptable composition in the present disclosure further includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or excipient, including, as applied in the present disclosure, any solvent, diluent, liquid excipient, dispersing agent, suspending agent, surfactant, isotonic agent, thickening agent, emulsifying agent, preservative, solid binder, or lubricant, as is proper for specific target dosage forms. Various carriers for formulating the pharmaceutically acceptable composition and well-known preparation methods thereof are disclosed in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st edition, 2005, ed. D. B. Troy, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and J. C. Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York. Unless the carrier media are incompatible with the compound of the present disclosure, for example, those produce adverse biological effects or harmful interactions with any other components in the pharmaceutically acceptable composition, any other suitable carrier media and use thereof fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
Some examples of substances that can be used as the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers, aluminum oxide, aluminum stearate, lecithin, serum proteins (such as human serum albumin), buffer substances (such as Tween 80, phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, or potassium sorbate), partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes (such as protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, or zinc salts), silica gel, magnesium trisilicate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylate, waxes, polyethylene-polypropylene-oxide-block copolymers, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, lanolin, sugars (such as lactose, glucose, and sucrose), starch (such as cornstarch and potato starch), cellulose and its derivatives (such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, and cellulose acetate), powdered tragacanth gum, malt, gels, talc, excipients (such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes), oils (such as peanut, cottonseed, safflower, sesame, olive, corn, and soybean oils), glycols (such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol), esters (such as ethyl oleate and ethyl dodecanoate), agar, buffers (such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide), alginic acid, non-pyrogenic water, isotonic saline, Ringer's solution, ethanol and phosphate buffers, and other non-toxic compatible lubricants (such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate). In addition, at the discretion of a formulator, colorants, anti-adhesion agents, coating agents, sweeteners and flavor enhancers, preservatives and antioxidants may also be present in the composition.
The compound or composition as disclosed may be administered in any proper ways. The compound and pharmaceutically acceptable composition may be administered to humans or other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (for example, by powder, ointment, or drops), or by oral or nasal sprays, depending on the severity of diseases being treated.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspending agents, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may include inert diluents commonly used in the art, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizers, and emulsifiers, such as ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, dimethylformamide, oils (especially cottonseed, peanut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerin, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol and sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. In addition to the inert diluents, the oral composition may also include adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweeteners, flavorants, and flavor enhancers.
Injectable formulations, such as sterile injectable water or oil suspending agents, may be prepared by known techniques using proper dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. Sterile injectable formulations may also be sterile injectable solutions, suspending agents, or emulsions in non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluents or solvents, for example, solutions in 1,3-butanediol. Water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P., and isotonic sodium chloride solution may be used in acceptable media and solvents. In addition, it is customary to use sterile non-volatile oils as solvents or suspension media. In this case, any odorless non-volatile oil may be used, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides. Moreover, fatty acids, such as octadecenoic acid, are used for preparing injections.
For example, injectable formulations may be sterilized by filtration through a bacterial retention filter or by addition of a sterilizing agent in the form of a sterile solid composition that can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable media prior to use.
In order to prolong the action of the compound or composition in the present disclosure, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be achieved by using liquid suspensions of poorly water-soluble crystals or amorphous substances. In this case, the absorption rate of the compound depends on its dissolution rate, and the dissolution rate depends on the crystal size and crystal form. Alternatively, the absorption of the compound administered parenterally is slowed down by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil medium. Injectable storage forms are prepared by forming microcapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolic acid. Based on a compound-to-polymer ratio and properties of the particular polymer used, the release rate of the compound can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include polyorthoester and polyanhydride. Injectable storage formulations may alternatively be prepared by sequestering the compound in liposomes or microemulsions compatible with body tissues.
Compositions for transrectal or vaginal administration are in particular suppositories prepared by mixing the compounds of the present disclosure with proper non-irritating excipients or carriers, such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or suppository waxes.
