We recently discovered a novel compound, identified as N-3,5'-cyclo-4-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-victriazolo[4,5-b]pyridinin-5-one, with anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity in vitro. The structure was confirmed by chemical synthesis from 2-hydroxy-5-nitropyridine. It showed anti-HCV activity with EC50 = 19.7 mu M in replicon cells. Its 3'-deoxy sugar analogue was also synthesized, but was inactive against HCV in vitro.
