identified direct acting antivirals which have significantly improved cure rates in patients. Current efforts are directed towards identification of novel direct acting antiviral targeting different mechanism of actions which could become part of all oral therapies. We recently disclosed the identification of a novel tricyclic indole derived inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase that bound to the enzyme close
在美国,HCV 感染是导致肝细胞癌和肝移植的主要原因。药物发现的最新进展已经确定了直接作用的抗病毒药物,这些药物显着提高了患者的治愈率。目前的努力是针对识别新的直接作用抗病毒药物,靶向不同的作用机制,这可能成为所有口服疗法的一部分。我们最近公开了一种新型三环吲哚衍生的 HCV NS5B 聚合酶抑制剂的鉴定,该抑制剂与靠近活性位点的酶结合。在这份手稿中,我们描述了对这些抑制剂的效力和药代动力学 (PK) 的进一步优化,以鉴定对 gt-1b 具有低 nM 效力的化合物。
