The present invention relates to novel hetero-substituted benzimidazole compounds that have useful antiviral activity. More specifically, the invention encompasses hetero-substituted benzimidazole compounds that inhibit membrane fusion associated events such as viral transmission, reduce viral load or otherwise treat viral infections. The invention also encompasses the use of hetero-substituted benzimidazole compounds as inhibitors of membrane fusion associated events, such as viral transmission. In another embodiment, the invention encompasses processes for making hetero-substituted benzimidazole compounds, methods of using the hetero-substituted benzimidazole compounds and compositions comprising the hetero-substituted benzimidazole compounds. Finally, the invention provides methods for treating, preventing or ameliorating symptoms associated with respiratory infection, particularly that caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus utilizing the novel benzimidazole compounds of the invention.
本发明涉及一种具有有用的抗病毒活性的新型杂代取代苯并咪唑化合物。更具体地说,本发明涵盖了抑制与膜融合相关事件(如病毒传播)、减少病毒载量或以其他方式治疗病毒感染的杂代取代苯并咪唑化合物。本发明还涵盖了将杂代取代苯并咪唑化合物用作抑制与膜融合相关事件(如病毒传播)的抑制剂。在另一实施例中,本发明涵盖了制备杂代取代苯并咪唑化合物的方法,使用杂代取代苯并咪唑化合物的方法以及包含杂代取代苯并咪唑化合物的组合物。最后,本发明提供了使用本发明的新型苯并咪唑化合物治疗、预防或缓解与呼吸道感染有关的症状,特别是由呼吸合胞病毒引起的感染的方法。
