The virally encoded NS3 protease is essential to the life cycle of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important human pathogen causing chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The design and synthesis of 15-membered ring β-strand mimics which are capable of inhibiting the interactions between the HCV NS3 protease enzyme and its polyprotein substrate will be described. The
病毒编码的NS3蛋白酶对丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的生命周期至关重要,丙型肝炎病毒是导致慢性肝炎,肝硬化和肝细胞癌的重要人类病原体。将描述能够抑制HCV NS3蛋白酶与其多蛋白底物之间相互作用的15元环β链模拟物的设计和合成。通过NMR和分子动力学研究了大环配体与酶之间的结合相互作用,并建立了配体/酶复合物的模型。
