3-Heterocyclyl quinolone inhibitors of the HCV NS5B polymerase
摘要:
The discovery and optimization of a novel class of quinolone small-molecules that inhibit NS5B polymerase, a key enzyme of the HCV viral life-cycle, is described. Our research led to the replacement of a hydrolytically labile ester functionality with bio-isosteric heterocycles. An X-ray crystal structure of a key analog bound to NS5B facilitated the optimization of this series of compounds to afford increased activity against the target enzyme and in the cell-based replicon assay system.
