Product Description
BAY 41-4109 is a novel and potent inhibitor of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) with an IC50 of 53 nM. BAY-41-4109 is a heteroaryldihydropyrimidine (HAP) antiviral compound effective on Hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly and on preformed HBV capsids.


BAY 41-4109 (methyl (R)-4-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-2-(3,5-difluoro-2-pyridinyl)-6-methyl-1,4-dihydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylate) is a heteroaryl-dihydropyrimidine (HAP) compound identified as a potent non-nucleosidic inhibitor of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. It targets the viral capsid protein and has shown efficacy in HBV-transgenic mice after oral administration. The compound reduces viral DNA in liver and plasma dose-dependently and has a different mode of action from nucleoside analogues like lamivudine, as it reduces cytoplasmic hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg). Pharmacokinetic studies indicate rapid absorption, moderate oral bioavailability, and dose-proportional plasma concentrations. [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HBV(IC50= 53 nM )
HBV replication (IC50 = 53 nM in HepG2.2.15 cells) [1]
HBV capsid protein (Cp) - no specific IC50/Ki reported; binding stoichiometry: at ≤1 drug per two dimers stabilizes capsids, at ≥1 drug per dimer destabilizes capsids [2]
ln Vitro
In vitro, BAY 41-4109 has the capacity to misdirect and speed up capsid assembly. BAY 41-4109 stabilizes formed capsids up to a ratio of one inhibitor molecule for every two dimers [2]. In HepG2.2.15 cells, BAY 41-4109 exhibits an equivalent level of efficacy in suppressing HBV DNA release and cytoplasmic HBcAg levels, with IC50 values of 32.6 and 132 nM, respectively. The dose-dependent inhibition of HBV DNA and HBcAg suggests that the anti-HBV mechanisms are linked to and reliant on the rate of HBcAg inhibition[3].
BAY 41-4109 inhibited HBV replication in HepG2.2.15 cells with an IC50 of 53 nM and a CC50 (cytotoxicity against HepG2.2.15 cells) of 7 μM. [1]
BAY 41-4109 enhanced the rate of HBV capsid assembly in vitro; as little as 0.2 μM drug (ratio of 1 drug molecule per 50 Cp149 dimers) increased assembly rate of 10 μM Cp149 in 150 mM NaCl at 40°C. [2]
BAY 41-4109 misdirected assembly to form aberrant non-capsid polymers (balloon-shaped particles, spirals, sheets, tubes) at higher concentrations (≥5 μM BAY 41-4109 with 10 μM Cp149). [2]
On preformed HBV capsids, BAY 41-4109 at a stoichiometry of ≤1 drug molecule per two dimers (e.g., 2 μM Cp with 1 μM drug) stabilized capsids without changing size; at ≥1 drug molecule per dimer (e.g., 2 μM Cp with 2 μM drug), capsids were destabilized and formed large non-capsid void polymers. This effect was temperature-dependent, with more void material observed at 4°C than at room temperature. [2]
ln Vivo
With an efficacy similar to 3TC, BAY 41-4109 decreases viral DNA in the liver and plasma in a dose-dependent manner. Hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) in the livers of HBV-transgenic mice is decreased by BAY 41 -4109. Research on pharmacokinetics in mice has demonstrated quick absorption, a 30% bioavailability, and dose-proportional plasma concentrations in rats and dogs of roughly 60%[1]. By targeting the viral capsid, BAY41-4109 inhibits the production of viruses in vivo[2].
In HBV-transgenic mice (Tg[HBV1.3 fsX-3'5]), oral administration of BAY 41-4109 at doses of 3, 7.5, 15, and 30 mg/kg twice daily for 28 days reduced HBV-specific DNA in liver and plasma in a dose-dependent manner. At 15 and 30 mg/kg, significant reductions in liver HBV DNA (P<0.05) and plasma HBV DNA (P<0.05) were observed. Efficacy was comparable to or better than lamivudine (3TC) at 30 mg/kg. [1]
Immunohistological analysis of livers from treated mice showed that BAY 41-4109 (30 mg/kg t.i.d. for 20 days) reduced cytoplasmic hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) to undetectable levels in both male and female mice, whereas 3TC had no effect on cytoplasmic HBcAg. Nuclear HBcAg was unaffected by BAY 41-4109. [1]
Enzyme Assay
No classical enzyme assay described. For HBV capsid assembly studies: Assembly of truncated HBV capsid protein (Cp149) was monitored in real time by 90° light scattering at 400 nm in a fluorometer, with 3 nm band pass, at 40°C. Reactions were initiated by mixing Cp149 and drug with NaCl in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM DTT. Light scattering was used to measure assembly kinetics. [2]
Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) on a Superose 6 10/300 column equilibrated with 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl was used to analyze assembly products. Elution volumes: void (6.0-7.2 ml), capsid (7.2-8.3 ml), dimer (15-16.5 ml). [2]
Electron microscopy: Samples were visualized on a transmission electron microscope; images collected with CCD camera. [2]
Cell Assay
MTT colorimetry is used to measure cellular metabolism. In 96-well plates, HepG2.2.15 cells are plated at a density of 2 × 103 cells per well. 20 μL of MTT solution (5 g/L) is added to each well after 8 days of treatment with varying concentrations of each antiviral compound, and the wells are then incubated for 4 hours at 37°C. To dissolve the crystals, 150 μL of DMSO is then added and stirred for 10 minutes. An ELISA reader is used to record absorbance values at 490 nm. The curve regression equation is used to compute the MTT values[3].
HepG2.2.15 cell assay: Cells were plated in 96-well plates and incubated with compound dilutions at 37°C, 5% CO2. Medium was changed at day 4. After 8 days, supernatants were collected, cells lysed, and HBV-DNA detected by dot-blot hybridization and quantified using a Lumilmager. [1]
For HBV capsid assembly in vitro: Purified Cp149 dimers (truncated HBV capsid protein) were used. Assembly reactions were carried out in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM or 500 mM NaCl, 5 mM DTT, at 40°C or room temperature, with various concentrations of BAY 41-4109. Products analyzed by SEC and EM. [2]
Animal Protocol
Mice: For this study, HBV-transgenic mice are employed. The compounds (BAY 41-4109) are given to mice twice a day for 28 days in a suspension solution formulated with 0.5% tylose. The placebo is the 0.5% tylose. The animals are killed six hours after the last treatment, and the livers are taken out and frozen right away for further examination. The anesthetized animals' hearts are punctured to obtain blood[1].
HBV-transgenic mouse model (Tg[HBV1.3 fsX-3'5]): Male and female mice (~10 weeks old) with plasma HBV DNA levels of 10^7-10^8 genome equivalents/ml were used. BAY 41-4109 was formulated as a suspension in 0.5% Tylose (vehicle) and administered per os (oral gavage) at doses of 3, 7.5, 15, 30 mg/kg twice daily (b.i.d.) for 28 days. Six hours after the last treatment, animals were sacrificed; livers removed and frozen; blood collected by cardiac puncture. [1]
For pharmacokinetic studies: Blood was collected after intravenous and oral administration at various time points (three animals per time point) up to 24 h post dose. Plasma was precipitated with acetonitrile and drug concentration determined by LC/MS/MS. [1]
For capsid destabilization studies (in vitro): Preformed capsids (assembled from Cp149 dimers) were incubated with BAY 41-4109 at room temperature or 4°C overnight in 150 mM NaCl, then analyzed by SEC and EM. [2]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
In mice: clearance = 4.0 L/h/kg; intravenous half-life ≤1 h (text also states "short half-life of 2h" in mice); oral bioavailability = 31%; rapid absorption with tmax = 0.17 h. [1]
In rats: clearance = 1.75 L/h/kg; intravenous half-life = 2 h; oral bioavailability = 58%; tmax = 0.17 h. [1]
In dogs: clearance = 0.72 L/h/kg; intravenous half-life = 5 h; oral bioavailability = 58%; tmax = 0.8 h. [1]
Predicted human parameters: clearance = 0.46 L/h/kg; half-life = 4 h; bioavailability = 48% (allometric scaling). [1]
Dose-proportional plasma concentrations observed. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
BAY-41-4109 (R-isomer) (CAS#: 298708-81-3) cytotoxicity: MTT assay in HepG2.2.15 cells showed TC50 = 19.3 μM. No signs of toxicity or reduced proliferative capacity were observed at concentrations used for antiviral assays (up to 1 μM). The therapeutic index (TI = TC50/EC50) is approximately 592 (19.3 μM / 32.6 nM). [3]

Additional Infomation
BAY 41-4109 is a pure R-enantiomer (the active enantiomer), whereas HAP-1 is a racemic mixture. [2]
Mechanism of action: BAY 41-4109 targets HBV capsid protein (Cp) and accelerates capsid assembly at substoichiometric ratios, acting as an allosteric activator. At higher concentrations, it misdirects assembly to form aberrant non-capsid polymers (sheets, tubes, spirals). It stabilizes preformed capsids at low ratios (≤1 drug per two dimers) but destabilizes them at higher ratios (≥1 drug per dimer), leading to void polymers. This suggests two functionally distinct classes of drug-binding sites on HBV capsids. [2]
Unlike lamivudine (3TC), BAY 41-4109 reduces cytoplasmic HBcAg in livers of transgenic mice, indicating a different mode of action. [1]
The compound is currently under investigation for treatment of HBV infection. [1]
