US Patent 10420775: Analysis of the Scope and Claims

On September 5, 2018, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted United States Patent 10420775 to Pfizer Products Inc. entitled "pH-dependent nucleoside phosphoramidite compounds and Nucleoside analogs." This patent pertains to a class of nitrogenous base-modified nucleoside analogs (NBNA) designed to act against various viral infections.

Background:

The field of antiviral therapy has witnessed the emergence of novel nucleoside analogs (NAs) that selectively target viral reverse transcriptase and other enzymes, disrupting viral replication mechanisms. One key factor in the efficacy of NAs is their ability to mimic host nucleotides while conferring anti-viral selectivity by incorporating unnatural bases or modifications.

Scope of Patent 10420775:

Patent 10420775 pertains to a class of NA compounds specifically tailored to target viral replication in the human body. The applicant identifies the need for potent NAs that are resistant to premature activation by viral or host enzymes and, crucially, can circumvent antiviral resistance mechanisms arising from mutations in viral RT and NTP-regulating enzymes.

The patented NA compounds in question possess a series of desirable features:

  • A nucleobase function group that interacts with rt and nuc leases to create favorable physiochemical binding of the ntb and adenosine molecule
  • a molecule of 3',4' carbon hydroxylated modification for improved intracellular phosphorylation by intracellular nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase enzymes (termed NPP) These modifications allow target molecules with a superior intrinsic stability as well as substrate efficacy compared with their first-generation analogs.

Claims:

At the heart of Patent 10420775 are six independent claims (1-6) covering distinct aspects of composition and functionality.

Claims 1 and 6 cover the new pH-responsive NA compounds of Formula (I), generalizing their structural components, which link with varied 'base-modification', each claiming the efficacy and low cost associated with the molecules defined. These formulae correspond to specific molecules within the examples section of the application, specifically analogs LQ-001.

Claims 2-5 focus on NAs bearing modifications that provide improved in vitro antiviral activity against strains sensitive and resistant to conventional nucleoside analogs. The improvements sought here would mitigate limitations inherent to current therapeutic approach by showcasing considerable activity in viral resistance and antiviral synergy observed in the associated instances studied in the patent.

Therapeutic Implications:

Given the considerable antiviral efficacy and excellent metabolic stability observed with LQ-001 analogs, it's plausible that the findings may lead to wide application for prophylaxis against viral diseases. Thus the implications of these novel NAs carry immense value to control a host of viral infections whose prevalence are growing rapidly globally including flu and HCV.
