BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hepatitis B virus (HBV; referred as "HBV" hereinafter) causes acute or chronic hepatitis, which may progress to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. It is estimated that three hundred million people are infected with HBV in the world (Tiollais & Buendia, Sci . Am . , 264, 48, 1991). There have been many studies on the molecular biological characteristics of HBV and its relationship to liver diseases in order to find ways to prevent and treat hepatitis B. Various vaccines and diagnostic drugs have
been developed and much effort is being focused on research to find effective anti-hepatitis B agent.
HBV genome consists of genes for polymerase (P) , surface protein (pre-Sl, pre-S2 and S), core protein (pre-C and C) , and X protein. Of these proteins expressed from HBV genes, polymerase, surface protein, and core protein are structural proteins and X protein has a regulatory function.
The gene for HBV polymerase occupies about 80% of the whole virus genome and produces a protein of 94kD size with 845 amino acids, which has several functions in the replication of virus genome. This polypeptide includes sequences responsible for activities of protein primer, RNA dependent DNA polymerase, DNA dependent DNA polymerase, and RNase H. Kaplan and his coworkers first discovered reverse transcriptase activities of polymerase, which led to many studies on replicating mechanism of HBV.
HBV enters liver when antigenic protein on virion surface is recognized by hepatic cell-specific receptor. Inside the liver cell, DNAs are synthesized by the action of HBV polymerase, attached to short chain to form complete double helix for HBV genome. Complete double helical DNA genome of HBV produces pre-genomic mRNA and mRNAs of core protein, surface protein, and regulatory protein by the action of RNA polymerase. Using these mRNAs, virus proteins are synthesized. Polymerase has an important function in the
production of virus genome, forming a structure called replicasome with core protein and pre-genomic mRNA. This process is called encapsidation. Polymerase has repeated units of glutamic acid at the 3' -end with high affinity for nucleic acids, which is responsible for facile encapsidation. When replicasome is formed, (-) DNA strand is synthesized by reverse transcribing action of HBV polymerase and (+) DNA strand is made by the action of DNA dependent DNA polymerase and the (+) DNA strand produces pre-genomic mRNAs. The whole process is repeated until the pool of more than 200 to 300 genomes is maintained (Tiollais and Buendia, Scien tific American , 264: 48-54, 1991).
Recently, nucleoside compounds such as lamivudine and famvir have been reported to be useful inhibitors of HBV proliferation, although they have been originally developed as therapeutics for the treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS; referred as "AIDS" hereinafter) and herpes zoster infection (Germ, J. L, Hepa tology, 14: 198-199, 1991; Lok, A. S. P., J. Viral Hepa ti tis, 1: 105-124, 1994; Dienstag, J. L. et al . , New England Journal of Medicine, 333: 1657-1661, 1995). However, these nucleoside compounds are considered a poor choice for treatment of hepatitis B because of their high cost and side effects such as toxicity, appearance of resistant virus and recurrence of the disease after stopping treatment. Effort to find
therapeutics for hepatitis B among non-nucleoside compounds has been continued and antiviral effects against HBV have been reported for quinolone compounds (EP 563732, EP 563734), iridoides compounds (KR 94-1886) , and terephthalic amide derivatives (KR 96-72384, KR 97-36589, KR 99-5100) . In spite of much effort, however, effective drugs for hepatitis B have not been developed yet and therapeutic method mainly depends on symptomatic treatments.
Hepatitis C virus (referred as "HCV" hereinafter) is a virus that belongs to the flaviviridae having a membrane. HCV genome is single stranded (+)-RNA of 9.5 kb in length and express polyprotein consisting of 3010 amino acids. The HCV polyprotein is cleaved co- and posttranslationally by cellular and viral protease to yield 3 structural proteins and 6 nonstructural proteins.
5'- and 3' -terminus of the HCV genome contain untranslated regions (UTR) , which have highly conserved nucleotide sequence of all most genotype. Recently, it is known that 5' -UTR is a 330~341 nucleotide sequence and 3'- UTR includes 98 nucleotides at the back of poly A, termed to X region which might be played a role of RNA replication and translation of virus. Amino end part of HCV genome produces structural proteins (Core, El and E2) and the other part produces non-structural proteins. The core is the main structural component of the viral capsid and the envelope
protein consists of El and E2. These proteins are cleaved by signal peptidase in endoplasmic reticulum. Serin-type protease NS3 and cofactor NS4A cleaves nonstructural proteins. NS5B protein is a RNA-dependant RNA polymerase. This protein plays an important role in the regulation of HCV replication.
It is reported that an infection by HCV is generated from a blood transfusion and community-acquired infection. Approximately 70% of HCV infected individuals will develop chronic hepatitis, of which 20% will progress to severe chronic liver disease within 5 years. Such higher progression rate, rarely in RNA virus, shows that HCV is a major cause of generating liver cancer. Mechanism studies of the continuous infection of HCV have not been reported. HCV test is therefore carried out in all blood and the infection opportunity by the blood transfusion is remarkably decreased. But, HCV infection presents a major public health problem worldwide because the community-acquired HCV infection hasn't regulated yet. From the viewpoint of retrospective studies, HCV infection distributes worldwide and 1.5 - 2% of the world's population is infected. Compared to HBV, HCV infection is generally developed into chronic hepatitis and has a high probability of progression to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Because hepatitis C virus belongs to completely
different family, it cannot be inhibited using HBV vaccine. The treatment of α-interferon has been tried, but its antiviral effect depends on the genotypes of HCV and the shown effect is also weak. Since HCV was discovered in 1987, there has been attempted a lot of research, but remarkably effective drug hasn't yet developed. α-Interferon is the unique choice for the treatment so far, but it has confirmed that the its medical care rate is less than 30%, HCV is recurred after cessation of its treatment and several interferon-resistant mutant virus generates. So far, there aren't specific antiviral agents with proliferation inhibitory activity against HCV.
Therefore, we, inventors of the present invention, tried to develop therapeutics to treat hepatitis B with little chance of toxicity, side effects, and development of resistant viral strains. We found the compounds with excellent antiviral effect against HBV; synthesized novel methoxy-1 , 3, 5-triazine derivatives represented in formula 1 and completed the invention by showing their dramatic inhibitory effect on proliferation of HCV as well as of HBV.

<Experiment 1> Inhibitory effect on the in vitro activities of HBV polymerase in reverse transcription The following in vi tro experiment was performed to determine the effect of the compounds of formula 1 on the activity of HBV polymerase during reverse transcription.
The present inventors submitted application for a patent concerning HBV polymerase genetically expressed in and
separated from E. col i , the process of their preparation, and the method to measure the enzyme activities (KR 94-3918, KR 96-33998). In the present experiments HBV polymerase was used which had been expressed in E . coli as stated above. The method used in the present invention to measure in vi tro reverse transcribing activities of HBV polymerase is as follows. Basic principles are the same as those for ELISA, nucleotides with biotin- or digoxigenin- group are included as substrates and anti-DIG antibodies attached to peroxidase enzyme recognize the polymerized substrates.
To the wells coated with streptavidin, 20 μl of HBV
polymerase, 20 μl of reaction mixture (10 μM each of DIG-UTP
and Biotin-UTP, 46 mM Tris-HCl, 266 mM KC1, 27.5 mM MgCl2, 9.2 mM DTT substrate/primer hybrid), and 20 μl of test
compound (added to 1, 0.1, and 0.01
were added and
allowed to react at 22°C for 15 hrs. During this reaction, HBV polymerase catalyzes DNA synthesis, and digoxigenin and biotin attached to nucleotides form bonds to streptavidin coated on the bottom of wells. When the reaction was done, each well was washed with 250 μl, of cleaning buffer (pH 7.0) for 30 seconds, which was repeated five times to remove remaining impurities. 200 μl, of anti-DIG-POD antibody was
added to each well and allowed to react for 1 hr at 37 °C, and the wells were washed with cleaning buffer to remove
impurities. 200 μl, of ABTS™, a substrate of peroxidase, was
then added to each well and allowed to react at room temperature for 30 min. Absorbency was measured at 405 nm using ELISA reader.
The inhibitory effects in HBV polymerase activities for reverse transcription were calculated using the group without test compound as a control and the results are shown in Table 3 as follows. <Table 3>
Inhibitory effect on the HBV polymerase activities in reverse transcription
<Experiment 2> Inhibitory effect on the in vitro HCV activity in RNA-dependant RNA-polymerase .
The following in vi tro experiment was performed to
determine inhibitory effects of compounds of formula 1 on the activity in RNA-dependant RNA-polymerase.
To test in vitro for HCV activity in RNA-dependant RNA- polymerase, the following experiment was carried out. First, 10 μl of HCV NS5B (RNA-polymerase) and 25 μl of
reaction buffer solution [Tris-Cl (pH 7.5) 0.1 M, NaCl 0.1 M, MgCl2 0.01 M, KC1 0.2 M, EDTA 0.002 M, DTT 0.05 M] were added to a well coated with streptavidin. 10 μl of reaction mixture containing poly A/UTP,as a RNA template-primer, DIG- UTP, biotin-UTP and UTP were added and subsequently test compounds prepared were also added at the final concentration of 10, 1 and 0.1 μg/ml. The mixture was
allowed to react 22 °C for 1 hr . The inhibitory activity was measured in comparison with negative control without the test compounds. At this time, RNA was formed from RNA by the action of HCV polymerase, forming bonds with streptavidin coated on the bottom of wells due to dioxigenin and biotin attached to nucleotides. When the reaction was completed, each well was washed with 200 μl, of washing buffer
(pH 7.0) for 30 sec. three times to remove remaining impurities. 200 μl of anti-DIG-POD antibody was added to each
well and allowed to react for 1 hr at 37°C, and the wells were washed with cleaning buffer to remove impurities. 200 μl of ABTS™, a substrate for peroxidase (POD) , was added to
each well, allowed to react at room temperature for 30 min., and absorbency at 405 nm was measured for each solution using ELISA reader.
The percentage of inhibitory effect in the activity of HCV RNA polymerase, was calculated using the negative control without the test compounds and the results are represented in Table 4 as follows. <Table 4> Inhibitory effect on the HCV proliferation
<Experiment 4> Cytotoxicity test
To determine if compounds of formula 1 exhibit cytotoxicity, in vi tro tests were carried out using HepG2 cells with MTT analysis method as generally known and the results are showed in Table 5 as follows.
<Table 5>
Cytotoxicities on the HepG2 cell
As a result, the compounds used in the experiments have higher than 100
for IC
50 and are considered to have little cytotoxicity.
As described above, novel methoxy-1, 3, 5-triazine derivatives represented by formula 1 of the present invention have the dramatic inhibitory effect on proliferation of HBV and HCV with little side effect, and may be useful as therapeutic agents for prevention and treatment of hepatitis B and C. Moreover, it is expected that compounds of the present invention, being non- nucleosidic, do not have problems such as toxicity and early development of resistant virus strains observed by nucleoside substances. Furthermore, compounds of the present invention may be used together with nucleoside compounds since the former seem to act on allosteric binding pockets while the latter work in the domain of polymerase activities.
