We describe the discovery of MK-6169, a potent and pan-genotype hepatitis C virus NS5A inhibitor with optimized activity against common resistance-associated substitutions. SAR studies around the combination of changes to both the valine and aminal carbon region of elbasvir led to the discovery of a series of compounds with substantially improved potency against common resistance-associated substitutions in the major genotypes, as well as good pharmacokinetics in both rat and dog. Through further optimization of key leads from this effort, MK-6169 (21) was discovered as a preclinical candidate for further development.
