Inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase: Synthesis and structure–activity relationships of N-1-benzyl and N-1-[3-methylbutyl]-4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthyridon-3-yl benzothiadiazine analogs containing substituents on the aromatic ring
摘要:
A series of non-nucleoside HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitors based on the N-1-benzyl or N-1-[3-methylbutyl]-4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthyridon-3-yl benzothiadiazine core substituted in the D-ring aromatic moiety have been prepared and evaluated. Aromatic substituents extending from position 7 of the D-ring exhibited excellent potency against both genotypes 1a and 1b. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
