The present invention relates to peptidomimetic compounds that inhibit serine protease activity, particularly the activity of hepatitis C virus NS3-NS4A protease. As such, they act by interfering with the life cycle of the hepatitis C virus and are also useful as antiviral agents. The invention further relates to compositions comprising these compounds either for ex vivo use or for administration to a patient suffering from HCV infection. The invention also relates to methods of treating an HCV infection in a patient by administering a composition comprising a compound of this invention.
本发明涉及抑制
丝氨酸蛋白酶活性,特别是丙型肝炎病毒
NS3-NS4A
蛋白酶活性的拟肽化合物。 因此,它们通过干扰丙型肝炎病毒的生命周期发挥作用,也可用作抗病毒药物。 本发明还涉及包含这些化合物的组合物,这些组合物可用于体内外使用,也可用于丙型肝炎病毒感染患者。 本发明还涉及通过施用包含本发明化合物的组合物来治疗患者HCV感染的方法。
