Cell experiment: |
HepAD38 cells are grown to about 80% confluence in 0.3 μg/mL of tetracycline (TET). After the removal of TET, the cells are treated with different doses of Morphothiadin (GLS4), or no drug. Cell viability is monitored by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay[2]. |
Animal experiment: |
ICR mice are used to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of Morphothiadin (GLS4). Following oral administration of 10 mg/kg (of body weight) of Morphothiadin to male mice, the concentration of Morphothiadin in plasma is determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). For toxicity studies, ICR mice are given Morphothiadin by gavage over a 4-week period and then kept off drug for another 2 weeks. Groups consisting of 20 male plus 20 female mice are administered a vehicle (1% methyl-2-hydroxyethyl cellulose), 35.7, 118.9, or 356.6 mg/kg per day in a volume corresponding to 20 mL/kg. Ten mice per dose group are euthanized 2 weeks after the end of drug treatment. Body weight, food consumption, serum albumin levels, and adverse effects are determined[2]. |

A First-in-Human Trial of GLS4, a Novel Inhibitor of Hepatitis B Virus Capsid Assembly, following Single- and Multiple-Ascending-Oral-Dose Studies with or without Ritonavir in Healthy Adult Volunteers
Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2019 Dec 20;64(1):e01686-19.PMID:31636065DOI:10.1128/AAC.01686-19.
GLS4 is a novel inhibitor of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly with inhibitory activities against nucleot(s)ide-resistant HBV strains. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of GLS4 and the effects of food and ritonavir in healthy adults. GLS4 was administered in a single-ascending-dose study over 1 to 240 mg and multiple-ascending-dose study that ranged from 30 mg once daily to 180 mg three times daily. The drug interaction study included sequential design (day 1 for 120 mg GLS4 alone, day 5 for 100 mg ritonavir alone, followed by 9 days of both drugs) and a placebo control (9 days of both 240 mg GLS4 and 100 mg ritonavir). The results showed that the steady-state trough concentration of multiple dosing of GLS4 alone was significantly lower than the 90% effective concentration of 55.7 ng/ml, even with increasing dosing frequency and dosage. An initial dose of 100 mg ritonavir significantly boosted plasma concentration at 24 h of 120 mg GLS4 from 2.40 to 49.8 ng/ml (geometric mean ratio, 20.7; 90% confidence interval, 17.0 to 25.3), while a milder effect was observed on the area under the curve from 0 to 24 h, with a 7.42-fold increase, and on the maximum concentration, with a 4.82-fold increase. The pharmacokinetics change in GLS4 persisted after 9 days of chronic dosing, with a trough concentration of 182 ng/ml. Both single and multiple doses of GLS4 up to 240 mg with or without ritonavir were well tolerated. These results support the investigation of a novel HBV treatment regimen containing GLS4 with 100 mg ritonavir added solely to enhance GLS4 concentrations in plasma.

Characterization of metabolites of GLS4 in humans using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry
Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom 2013 Nov 15;27(21):2483-92.PMID:24097405DOI:10.1002/rcm.6710.
Rationale: GLS4 is a heteroaryldihydropyrimidine compound that inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication by drug-induced depletion of nucleocapsids. It is currently undergoing clinical trials in China to treat HBV infection. The aim of this study was to identify the metabolites of GLS4 in humans. Methods: A rapid and sensitive method based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify GLS4 metabolites in human plasma, urine, and feces after an oral dose of 120 mg GLS4. Results: A total of 27 metabolites were detected and identified by comparing the accurate molecular masses, retention times and spectral patterns of the analytes with those of the parent drug. Nine metabolites were confirmed by comparison with reference substances. All of the metabolites had a bromine atom and displayed the isotope ion of [M + H](+)/[M + H + 2](+) at a ratio of 1:1. Fragmentation of the dihydropyrimidine structure was characterized by the loss of the m-bromofluorobenzene group to generate an ion at m/z 220.0175. The morpholine ring was characterized by an ion at m/z 100.0757. Conclusions: The metabolites of GLS4 in humans were identified by the diagnostic ions of dihydropyrimidine and morpholine rings. GLS4 underwent extensive dealkylation, hydrolysis, dehydrogenation, oxidation, and glucuronidation reactions in humans.
Effects of ketoconazole and rifampicin on the pharmacokinetics of GLS4, a novel anti-hepatitis B virus compound, in dogs
Acta Pharmacol Sin 2013 Nov;34(11):1420-6.PMID:24056704DOI:10.1038/aps.2013.76.
Aim: To investigate the metabolism of GLS4, a heteroaryldihydropyrimidine compound with anti-hepatitis B virus activity, in dog and human liver microsomes in vitro and evaluate the effects of ketoconazole (a potent CYP3A inhibitor) or rifampicin (a potent CYP3A inducer) on GLS4 pharmacokinetics in dogs. Methods: Dog and human liver microsomes and CYP3A4 were incubated with [(14)C]GLS4 for 15 min and then analyzed using a HPLC-dynamic online radio flow detection method. Two groups of beagle dogs were used for in vivo studies. Group A were orally administered a single dose of GLS4 (15 mg/kg) with or without ketoconazole pretreatment (100 mg/d for 8 consecutive days). Group B were orally administered a single dose of GLS4 (15 mg/kg) with or without rifampicin pretreatment (100 mg/d for 8 consecutive days). Plasma was sampled after GLS4 dosing. GLS4 concentrations were determined by HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry. Results: The metabolic profile of [(14)C]GLS4 in human and dog liver microsomes and CYP3A4 was similar. The major metabolites were morpholine N-dealkylated GLS4 and morpholine N,N-di-dealkylated GLS4. Pretreatment with ketoconazole or rifampicin significantly affected the plasma concentrations of GLS4 in dogs: ketoconazole increased the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity and peak concentration of GLS4 by 4.4 and 3.3 folds, respectively, whereas rifampicin decreased these parameters by 88.5% and 83.2%, respectively. Conclusion: GLS4 is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A. CYP3A inhibitors or inducers cause considerable change of GLS4 plasma concentrations in dogs, which should be considered in clinical practice.
Preclinical characterization of GLS4, an inhibitor of hepatitis B virus core particle assembly
Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2013 Nov;57(11):5344-54.PMID:23959305DOI:10.1128/AAC.01091-13.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated chronic liver diseases are treated with nucleoside analogs that target the virus polymerase. While these analogs are potent, drugs are needed to target other virus-encoded gene products to better block the virus replication cycle and chronic liver disease. This work further characterized GLS4 and compared it to the related BAY 41-4109, both of which trigger aberrant HBV core particle assembly, where the virus replication cycle occurs. This was done in HepAD38 cells, which replicate HBV to high levels. In vitro, GLS4 was significantly less toxic for primary human hepatocytes (P < 0.01 up to 100 μM), inhibited virus accumulation in the supernantant of HepAD38 cells (P < 0.02 up to 100 nM), inhibited HBV replicative forms in the liver with a significantly lower 50% effective concentration (EC50) (P < 0.02), and more strongly inhibited core gene expression (P < 0.001 at 100 to 200 nM) compared to BAY 41-4109. In vivo characterization was performed in nude mice inoculated with HepAD38 cells, which grew out as tumors, resulting in viremia. Treatment of mice with GLS4 and BAY 41-4109 showed strong and sustained suppression of virus DNA to about the same extents both during and after treatment. Both drugs reduced the levels of intracellular core antigen in the tumors. Alanine aminotransferase levels were normal. Tumor and total body weights were not affected by treatment. Thus, GLS4 was as potent as the prototype, BAY 41-4109, and was superior to lamivudine, in that there was little virus relapse after the end of treatment and no indication of toxicity.
Design, synthesis and evaluation of heteroaryldihydropyrimidine analogues bearing spiro ring as hepatitis B virus capsid protein inhibitors
Eur J Med Chem 2021 Dec 5;225:113780.PMID:34438123DOI:10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113780.
GLS4, a potent antiviral drug candidate, has been widely studied and entered into phase II clinical trials. Nevertheless, the therapeutic application of GLS4 is limited due to poor water solubility, short half-life, and low bioavailability. In order to improve the hydrophilicity and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of GLS4, herein, we retained the dominant fragments, and used a scaffold hopping strategy to replace the easily metabolized morpholine ring of GLS4 with diverse sizes of spiro rings consisting of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor substituents. Potent in vitroanti-HBV activity and low cytotoxicity were observed for compound 4r (EC50 = 0.20 ± 0.00 μM, CC50 > 87.03 μM), which was more potent than the positive control lamivudine (EC50 = 0.37 ± 0.04 μM, CC50 > 100.00 μM) in this assay and was about a quarter as effective as GLS4 (EC50 = 0.045 ± 0.01 μM, CC50 > 99.20 μM). Preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis and molecular docking studies were carried out to explore potential interactions and binding mode between compounds and target protein. In terms of the physicochemical properties, 4r was predicted to be consistent with the rule-of-five, which means 4r may have favourable absorption and permeation. Finally, ADMET and PK characteristics of 4r and GLS4 were predicted to be comparable in most aspects, implying that the two compounds may have similar profiles in vivo.
