Discovery of 2-iminobenzimidazoles as potent hepatitis C virus inhibitors with a novel mechanism of action
摘要:
In this report we describe 2-iminobenzimidazole (IBI) analogs, identified during the course of a phenotypic high-throughput screening campaign, as novel hepatitis C virus (HCV) inhibitors. A series of IBI derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against infectious HCV. Among the IBIs derivatives studied in this work, we identified promising compounds with high antiviral efficacy, high selectivity index and good microsomal stability. Noteworthy, the IBI series exhibited inhibitory activity on early and late steps of the viral cycle, but not in the HCV replicon system demonstrating a mechanism of action distinct from clinical-stage and approved anti-HCV drugs. Overall, our results suggest that IBIs are predestinated for further exploration as lead compounds for novel HCV interventions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

9-Substituted 2-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles were synthesized for the first time by cyclization of quaternary salts obtained from 1-substituted benzimidazol-2-amines and 2-bromo-1-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one. 9-R-2-Methyl(aryl)-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles reacted with 5-nitrofuran2-carbaldehyde and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde to give the corresponding secondary alcohols as a result of aldehyde addition to the 3-position of the tricyclic system. The Witting olefination of ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)-9-methyl-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylate afforded 2-ethenylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles.
