Despite the record-breaking discovery, development and approval of vaccines and antiviral therapeutics such as Paxlovid, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remained the fourth leading cause of death in the world and third highest in the United States in 2022. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of PF-07817883, a second-generation, orally bioavailable, SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitor with improved metabolic stability versus nirmatrelvir, the antiviral component of the ritonavir-boosted therapy Paxlovid. We demonstrate the pan-human coronavirus antiviral activity and off-target selectivity profile of PF-07817883. PF-07817883 also demonstrated oral efficacy in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 model at plasma concentrations equivalent to nirmatrelvir. The preclinical pharmacokinetics and metabolism studies in human matrices are suggestive of improved oral pharmacokinetics for PF-07817883 in humans, relative to nirmatrelvir. inhibition/induction studies against major human drug metabolizing enzymes/transporters suggest a low potential for perpetrator drug-drug interactions upon single-agent use of PF-07817883.
尽管疫苗和抗病毒疗法(如 Paxlovid)的研发和审批创下了纪录,但 2022 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)仍是全球第四大死亡原因,也是美国第三大死亡原因。在此,我们报告了 PF-07817883 的发现和特性,这是一种第二代、口服生物可利用的 SARS-CoV-2 主要蛋白酶抑制剂,与 Paxlovid 中利托那韦增强疗法的抗病毒成分奈玛特韦相比,其代谢稳定性得到了改善。我们展示了 PF-07817883 对泛人类冠状病毒的抗病毒活性和非靶点选择性特征。PF-07817883 在相当于奈玛特韦的血浆浓度下,在 SARS-CoV-2 小鼠适应模型中也显示出口服疗效。在人类基质中的临床前药代动力学和代谢研究表明,PF-07817883 在人体中的口服药代动力学相对于奈玛特韦有所改善。针对主要的人类药物代谢酶/转运体的抑制/诱导研究表明,PF-07817883 单独使用时药物相互作用的潜在风险较低。
