From compound library screening using an HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzymatic assay, we identified a pteridine hit compound with an IC50 of 15 muM. Our SAR studies were focused on the different groups at the 6- and 7-positions. substitutions at the 4-position, and replacement of N-1 or N-3 with carbon in the pteridine ring. We found that NH or OH at 4-position is critical for the inhibitory activity. Furthermore, a hydrophobic substituent at the 4-position may help compounds permeate through the cell membrane.
