Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
To characterize antiviral activity of the capsid assembly modulator (CAM-N) JNJ-56136379 against HBV genotypes and variants carrying amino acid substitutions in the core protein.
METHODS:
Anti-HBV activity of JNJ-56136379 was investigated against a diverse panel of 53 HBV clinical isolates (genotypes A-H). The impact of core amino acid substitutions using site-directed mutants (SDMs) was assessed in a transient replication assay.
RESULTS:
JNJ-56136379 median 50% effective concentration (EC50) values across all genotypes were 10-33 nM versus 17 nM (genotype D reference). JNJ-56136379 remained active against isolates carrying nucleos(t)ide analogue resistance mutations (median EC50 2-25 nM) or basal core promoter (BCP) ± precore (PC) mutations (median EC50 13-20 nM) or PC mutations (median EC50 11 nM), representing activity against isolates from HBeAg-positive and -negative hepatitis B patients. Core amino acid substitutions in the CAM-binding pocket, when tested as SDMs at positions 23, 25, 30, 33, 37, 106, 110, 118, 124, 127 and 128, reduced JNJ-56136379 anti-HBV activity; EC50 fold increases ranged from 3.0 (S106T) to 85 (T33N). All substitutions were rare in a public database of >7600 HBV core sequences (frequencies 0.01%-0.3%). Nucleos(t)ide analogues retained full activity against these core SDMs.
CONCLUSIONS:
JNJ-56136379, a potent HBV CAM-N, currently in Phase 2 clinical development, was generally fully active against an extensive panel of genotype A-H clinical isolates, regardless of the presence of nucleos(t)ide analogue resistance or BCP/PC mutations. JNJ-56136379 activity was reduced by some core amino acid substitutions in the CAM-binding pocket.
