Practical and Highly Efficient Synthesis of Remdesivir from GS-441524.

ABSTRACT: A three-step sequence for preparing remdesivir, an important anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug, is described. Employing N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) as a protecting agent, this synthesis started from (2R,3R,4S,5R)-2-(4-aminopyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-furan-2-carbonitrile (GS-441524) and consisted of three reactions, including protection, phosphoramidation, and deprotection. The advantages of this approach are as follows: (1) the protecting group could be removed under a mild deprotection condition, which avoided the generation of the degraded impurity; (2) high stereoselectivity was achieved in the phosphorylated reaction; (3) this synthesis could be performed successively without purification of intermediates. Moreover, the overall yield of this approach on a gram scale could be up to 85% with an excellent purity of 99.4% analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Current knowledge about the antivirals remdesivir (GS-5734) and GS-441524 as therapeutic options for coronaviruses.

Project description:Recent international epidemics of coronavirus-associated illnesses underscore the urgent medical and public health need for vaccine development and regulatory body approved therapies. In particular, the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has quickly intensified interest in developing treatment options to mitigate impact on human life. Remdesivir (GS-5734™) is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that is now being tested as a potential treatment for COVID-19 in international, multi-site clinical trials. Currently available evidence about the antiviral effects of remdesivir against coronaviruses is primarily based on in vitro and in vivo studies (including some on a chemically related compound, GS-441524™), which have demonstrated largely favorable findings. As the pandemic progresses, information from human compassionate use cases will continue to accumulate before the clinical trials are concluded. It is imperative for public health practitioners and the One Health community to stay up to date on the most promising potential therapeutic options that are under investigation. Thus, the purpose of this review is to synthesize the knowledge to date about remdesivir as a therapeutic option for coronaviruses, with a special focus on information relevant to the One Health community.

Remdesivir and GS-441524 Extraction by Ex Vivo Extracorporeal Life Support Circuits.

Project description:Patients with severe, COVID-related multi-organ failure often require extracorporeal life support (ECLS) such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). An ECLS can alter drug exposure via multiple mechanisms. Remdesivir (RDV) and its active metabolite GS-441524 are likely to interact with ECLS circuits, resulting in lower than expected exposures. We evaluated circuit-drug interactions in closed loop, ex vivo ECMO and CRRT circuits. We found that mean (standard deviation) recovery of RDV at 6 hours after dosing was low in both the ECMO (33.3% [2.0]) and CRRT (3.5% [0.4]) circuits. This drug loss appears to be due primarily to drug adsorption by the circuit materials and potentially due to metabolism in the blood. GS-441524 recovery at 6 hours was high in the ECMO circuit 75.8% (16.5); however, was not detectable at 6 hours in the CRRT circuit. Loss in the CRRT circuit appears to be due primarily to efficient hemodiafiltration. The extent of loss for both molecules, especially in CRRT, suggests that in patients supported with ECMO and CRRT, RDV dosing adjustments are needed.

Remdesivir Metabolite GS-441524 Effectively Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Mouse Models.

Project description:The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in a global pandemic due to the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). At the time of this manuscript's publication, remdesivir is the only COVID-19 treatment approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. However, its effectiveness is still under question due to the results of the large Solidarity Trial conducted by the World Health Organization. Herein, we report that the parent nucleoside of remdesivir, GS-441524, potently inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in Vero E6 and other cell lines. Challenge studies in both an AAV-hACE2 mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 and in mice infected with murine hepatitis virus, a closely related coronavirus, showed that GS-441524 was highly efficacious in reducing the viral titers in CoV-infected organs without notable toxicity. Our results support that GS-441524 is a promising and inexpensive drug candidate for treating of COVID-19 and other CoV diseases.

Advantages of the Parent Nucleoside GS-441524 over Remdesivir for Covid-19 Treatment.

Project description:While remdesivir has garnered much hope for its moderate anti-Covid-19 effects, its parent nucleoside, GS-441524, has been overlooked. Pharmacokinetic analysis of remdesivir evidences premature serum hydrolysis to GS-441524; GS-441524 is the predominant metabolite reaching the lungs. With its synthetic simplicity and in vivo efficacy in the veterinary setting, we contend that GS-441524 is superior to remdesivir for Covid-19 treatment.

Oral prodrug of remdesivir parent GS-441524 is efficacious against SARS-CoV-2 in ferrets.

Project description:Remdesivir is an antiviral approved for COVID-19 treatment, but its wider use is limited by intravenous delivery. An orally bioavailable remdesivir analog may boost therapeutic benefit by facilitating early administration to non-hospitalized patients. This study characterizes the anti-SARS-CoV-2 efficacy of GS-621763, an oral prodrug of remdesivir parent nucleoside GS-441524. Both GS-621763 and GS-441524 inhibit SARS-CoV-2, including variants of concern (VOC) in cell culture and human airway epithelium organoids. Oral GS-621763 is efficiently converted to plasma metabolite GS-441524, and in lungs to the triphosphate metabolite identical to that generated by remdesivir, demonstrating a consistent mechanism of activity. Twice-daily oral administration of 10 mg/kg GS-621763 reduces SARS-CoV-2 burden to near-undetectable levels in ferrets. When dosed therapeutically against VOC P.1 gamma γ, oral GS-621763 blocks virus replication and prevents transmission to untreated contact animals. These results demonstrate therapeutic efficacy of a much-needed orally bioavailable analog of remdesivir in a relevant animal model of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Assessing <i>in vitro</i> stability of remdesivir (GS-5734) and conversion to GS-441524 in feline plasma and whole blood.

Project description:Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a potentially fatal coronavirus-driven disease of cats. Treatment with nucleoside analogue GS-441524 and or prodrug remdesivir (RDV) have produced remission in both experimentally induced and naturally occurring FIP, yet information regarding metabolism of RDV into GS-441524 in cats is scarce. This study assessed possible phase I metabolism of RDV in cats, utilising an in vitro feline microsome model with in vitro t1/2 and in vitro Clint calculated using the substrate depletion method. A previously validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fluorescence method was utilised for detection and analysis of RDV and GS-441524. Qualitative yield of RDV and intermediate metabolite GS-441524 were determined following microsome incubation, then compared to whole blood and plasma incubations. In vitro microsome incubation resulted in rapid depletion of RDV, though it did not appear to resemble a conventional phase I-dependent reaction in cats, as it is in humans and dogs. Depletion of RDV into GS-441524 was demonstrated in whole blood in vitro, suggesting cats convert RDV to GS-441524, likely via blood esterases, as observed in mice and rats. RDV metabolism is unlikely to be impacted by impaired liver function in cats. Furthermore, as RDV depletes within minutes, whereas GS-441524 is very stable, whole blood or plasma GS-441524 concentrations, rather than plasma RDV concentrations, are more appropriate for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in cats receiving RDV.

The triple combination of Remdesivir (GS-441524), Molnupiravir and Ribavirin is highly efficient in inhibiting coronavirus replication in human nasal airway epithelial cell cultures and in a hamster infection model.

Project description:The use of fixed dose-combinations of antivirals with different mechanisms of action has proven key in the successful treatment of infections with HIV and HCV. For the treatment of infections with SARS-CoV-2 and possible future epi-/pandemic coronaviruses, it will be important to explore the efficacy of combinations of different drugs, in particular to avoid resistance development, such as in patients with immunodeficiencies. This work explores the effect of a combination of 3 broad-spectrum antiviral nucleosides on the replication of coronaviruses. To that end, we made use of primary human airway epithelial cell (HAEC) cultures grown at the air-liquid interface that were infected with the beta coronavirus OC43. We found that the triple combination of GS-441524 (the parent nucleoside of remdesivir), molnupiravir and ribavirin resulted in a more pronounced antiviral efficacy than what could be expected from a purely additive antiviral effect. The potency of this triple combination was next tested in SARS-CoV-2 infected hamsters in a prophylactic setup. To that end, for each of the drugs, intentionally suboptimal or even ineffective doses were selected. Yet, in the lungs of all hamsters that received triple prophylactic therapy (but not in those that received the respective double combinations) no infectious virus was detectable. Our findings indicate that co-administration of approved drugs for the treatment of coronavirus infections should be further explored but also against other families of viruses with epidemic and pandemic potential for which no effective antiviral treatment is available.
