We have already reported the modification on the piperazine and phenyl rings of JNJ4796, a small-molecule fuse inhibitor targeting hemagglutinin (HA). In this study, we described the structure-activity relationship of the benzoxazole and tetrazole rings of JNJ4796. Many derivatives demonstrated good in vitro activity against IAV H1N1and Oseltamivir-resistant IAV H1N1 stains. Although compounds (R)-1e and (R)-1h exhibited excellent in vitro activity, high drug exposure level and low hERG inhibition, they displayed low oral efficacy. Excitedly, (R)-1a, a representative identified in our previous study, was found to show potent in vivo anti-IAV activity with the survival rates of 100%, 100% and 70% at 15, 5 and 1.67 mg/kg, respectively, comparable to JNJ4796. Currently, we are exploring different ways to ease its gastrointestinal response.

JNJ4796, a small molecule fuse inhibitor targeting the conserved stem region of hemagglutinin, effectively neutralized a broad spectrum of group 1 influenza A virus (IAV), and protected mice against lethal and sublethal influenza challenge after oral administration. In this study, we reported the modification and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of C (piperazine ring) and E (phenyl ring) rings of JNJ4796. Compound (R)-2c was identified to show excellent in vitro activity against IAV H1N1 and Oseltamivir-resistant IAV H1N1 stains (IC: 0.
