Synthesis of hybrid HCV NS3 protease/NS4A inhibitors having the 4,4-difluoroaminobutyric acid (difluoroAbu) phenethylamides as P1-P1' and quinolyloxyprolines as P2 fragments led to 7 (IC50 54 nM). Molecular modelling suggests that this potent tripeptide inhibitor utilizes interactions in the S1', S1, S2, S3 and S4 sites of the protease. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
