Discovery of N-Arylalkyl-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-carboxamide Derivatives as HCV NS5B Polymerase Inhibitors
摘要:
AbstractThe metal ion chelating β‐N‐hydroxy‐γ‐ketocarboxamide pharmacophore was integrated into a quinazolinone scaffold, leading to N‐arylalkyl‐3‐hydroxy‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolin‐2‐carboxamide derivatives as hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase inhibitors. Lead optimization led to the identification of N‐phenylpropyl carboxamide 9 k (IC50=8.8 μM). Compound 9 k possesses selectivity toward HCV1b replicon Ava.5 cells (EC50=17.5 μM) over parent Huh‐7 cells (CC50=187.5 μM). Compound 9 k effects a mixed mode of NS5B inhibition, with NTP‐competitive displacement properties. The interaction between 9 k and NS5B is stabilized by the presence of magnesium ions. Docking studies showed that the binding orientation of 9 k occupies the central portions of both magnesium‐mediated and NTP‐ribose‐response binding sites within the active site region of NS5B. As a result, 3‐hydroxy‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolin‐2‐carboxamide derivatives are disclosed herein as novel, mainly active site inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase.
