The introduction of P4 substituted 1-methylcyclohexyl groups into Boceprevir®: A change in direction in the search for a second generation HCV NS3 protease inhibitor
摘要:
In the search for a second generation HCV protease inhibitor, molecular modeling studies of the X-ray crystal structure of Boceprevir (R) 1 bound to the NS3 protein suggest that expansion into the S4 pocket could provide additional hydrophobic Van der Waals interactions. Effective replacement of the P4 tertbutyl with a cyclohexylmethyl ligand led to inhibitor 2 with improved enzyme and replicon activities. Subsequent modeling and SAR studies led to the pyridine 38 and sulfone analogues 52 and 53 with vastly improved PK parameters in monkeys, forming a new foundation for further exploration.
