Abstract:

Matijin-Su [N-(N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanyl)-O-acetyl-L-phenylalanol, MTS], a dipeptide derivative, was isolated from a Chinese ethnic drug Matijin(Dichondra repens Forst.) which has been widely used in the treatment of chronic liver disease as folk medicine in China. A series of MTS derivatives with anti-hepatitis B virus(HBV) activitiy was synthesized by structural modification of MTS. One of MTS derivatives named “Tyrophentide” had been finished pre-clinical research and has been approved to do clinical study of phase Ⅰ by China Food and Drug Administration(CFDA). The preliminary pharmacokinetic experiments showed that it was widely distributed in many organs, and the concentration in liver was low. To improve the concentration in liver lesion tissue and increase the anti-HBV activity of MTS derivatives, a series of hepatic targeting galactopyranosyl derivatives of MTS 15a—15f was designed according to asialoglycoprotein receptor(ASGP-R) mediation and synthesized. Starting from unexpensive and commercially available galactose and triethylene glycol, the glycosyl donor with azide linker was achieved via acetylation, glycosylation and azidation reaction. At the same time, propargylated MTS derivatives using L-phenylalaninol, L-tyrosine methyl ester hydrochloride, benzoic acid and its derivatives as the starting materials were prepared by acylation, hydrolysis, alkylation, condensation reactions and so on. Then compounds 15a—15f with a 1,2,3-triazole unit were obtained from “click” chemistry reaction using copper(Ⅰ) catalyst in high yield(over 85%), which were deacetylated in the 0.41 mol/L solution of sodium methoxide to give target compounds. The structures of target compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMQC, DEPT and ESI-MS. The anti-HBV activities of target compounds were evaluated in HepG2 2.2.15 cells. The screening results showed that all target compounds had inhibitory effect on HBV DNA replication in HepG2 2.2.15 cells. Compound 15f showed inhibition rate anti-HBV activity of 83% at 50 μg/mL and could be worthy of further research.
