Preclinical profile of BI 224436, a novel HIV-1 non-catalytic-site integrase inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: BI 224436 is an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor with effective antiviral activity that acts through a mechanism that is distinct from that of integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs). This 3-quinolineacetic acid derivative series was identified using an enzymatic integrase long terminal repeat (LTR) DNA 3'-processing assay. A combination of medicinal chemistry, parallel synthesis, and structure-guided drug design led to the identification of BI 224436 as a candidate for preclinical profiling. It has antiviral 50% effective concentrations (EC50s) of <15 nM against different HIV-1 laboratory strains and cellular cytotoxicity of >90 ?M. BI 224436 also has a low, ?2.1-fold decrease in antiviral potency in the presence of 50% human serum and, by virtue of a steep dose-response curve slope, exhibits serum-shifted EC95 values ranging between 22 and 75 nM. Passage of virus in the presence of inhibitor selected for either A128T, A128N, or L102F primary resistance substitutions, all mapping to a conserved allosteric pocket on the catalytic core of integrase. BI 224436 also retains full antiviral activity against recombinant viruses encoding INSTI resistance substitutions N155S, Q148H, and E92Q. In drug combination studies performed in cellular antiviral assays, BI 224436 displays an additive effect in combination with most approved antiretrovirals, including INSTIs. BI 224436 has drug-like in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties, including Caco-2 cell permeability, solubility, and low cytochrome P450 inhibition. It exhibited excellent pharmacokinetic profiles in rat (clearance as a percentage of hepatic flow [CL], 0.7%; bioavailability [F], 54%), monkey (CL, 23%; F, 82%), and dog (CL, 8%; F, 81%). Based on the excellent biological and pharmacokinetic profile, BI 224436 was advanced into phase 1 clinical trials.

Project description:HIV-1 integrase (IN) is an essential enzyme for viral replication. Non-catalytic site integrase inhibitors (NCINIs) are allosteric HIV-1 IN inhibitors and a potential new class of antiretrovirals. In this report, we identified a novel NCINI, JTP-0157602, with an original scaffold. JTP-0157602 exhibited potent antiviral activity against HIV-1 and showed a serum-shifted 90% effective concentration (EC90) of 138 nM, which is comparable to those of the FDA-approved IN strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs). This compound was fully potent against a wide range of recombinant viruses with IN polymorphisms, including amino acids 124/125, a hot spot of IN polymorphisms. In addition, JTP-0157602 retained potent antiviral activity against a broad panel of recombinant viruses with INSTI-related resistance mutations, including multiple substitutions that emerged in clinical studies of INSTIs. Resistance selection experiments of JTP-0157602 led to the emergence of A128T and T174I mutations, which are located at the lens epithelium-derived growth factor/p75 binding pocket of IN. JTP-0157602 inhibited HIV-1 replication mainly during the late phase of the replication cycle, and HIV-1 virions produced by reactivation from HIV-1 latently infected Jurkat cells in the presence of JTP-0157602 were noninfectious. These results suggest that JTP-0157602 and analog compounds can be used to treat HIV-1 infectious diseases. IMPORTANCE Non-catalytic site integrase inhibitors (NCINIs) are allosteric HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors that bind to the lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 binding pocket of IN. NCINIs are expected to be a new class of anti-HIV-1 agents. In this study, we present a novel NCINI, JTP-0157602, which has potent activity against a broad range of HIV-1 strains with IN polymorphisms. Furthermore, JTP-0157602 shows strong antiviral activity against IN strand transfer inhibitor-resistant mutations, suggesting that JTP-0157602 and its analogs are potential agents for treating HIV-1 infections. Structural modeling indicated that JTP-0157602 binds to the LEDGF/p75 binding pocket of IN, and the results of in vitro resistance induction revealed the JTP-0157602 resistance mechanism of HIV-1. These data shed light on developing novel NCINIs that exhibit potent activity against HIV-1 with broad IN polymorphisms and multidrug-resistant HIV-1 variants.

Project description:Bictegravir (BIC; GS-9883), a novel, potent, once-daily, unboosted inhibitor of HIV-1 integrase (IN), specifically targets IN strand transfer activity (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50] of 7.5 ± 0.3 nM) and HIV-1 integration in cells. BIC exhibits potent and selective in vitro antiretroviral activity in both T-cell lines and primary human T lymphocytes, with 50% effective concentrations ranging from 1.5 to 2.4 nM and selectivity indices up to 8,700 relative to cytotoxicity. BIC exhibits synergistic in vitro antiviral effects in pairwise combinations with tenofovir alafenamide, emtricitabine, or darunavir and maintains potent antiviral activity against HIV-1 variants resistant to other classes of antiretrovirals. BIC displayed an in vitro resistance profile that was markedly improved compared to the integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) raltegravir (RAL) and elvitegravir (EVG), and comparable to that of dolutegravir (DTG), against nine INSTI-resistant site-directed HIV-1 mutants. BIC displayed statistically improved antiviral activity relative to EVG, RAL, and DTG against a panel of 47 patient-derived HIV-1 isolates with high-level INSTI resistance; 13 of 47 tested isolates exhibited >2-fold lower resistance to BIC than DTG. In dose-escalation experiments conducted in vitro, BIC and DTG exhibited higher barriers to resistance than EVG, selecting for HIV-1 variants with reduced phenotypic susceptibility at days 71, 87, and 20, respectively. A recombinant virus with the BIC-selected M50I/R263K dual mutations in IN exhibited only 2.8-fold reduced susceptibility to BIC compared to wild-type virus. All BIC-selected variants exhibited low to intermediate levels of cross-resistance to RAL, DTG, and EVG (<8-fold) but remained susceptible to other classes of antiretrovirals. A high barrier to in vitro resistance emergence for both BIC and DTG was also observed in viral breakthrough studies in the presence of constant clinically relevant drug concentrations. The overall virologic profile of BIC supports its ongoing clinical investigation in combination with other antiretroviral agents for both treatment-naive and -experienced HIV-infected patients.
