Abstract

A series of novel tetracyclic core-containing HCV NS5A inhibitors has been discovered. Incorporation of tetrahydropyran-substituted amino acid moiety improved their potency and yielded HCV NS5A inhibitors with a minimum potency shift from the GT1a strain compared to other genotypes and mutants. Compounds 53 and 54 showed the best potency profile and had reasonable half-times in rat PK studies. However, further optimization of their oral bioavailability is still needed in order to advance them for further development. [BMCL ABSTRACT] ©2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
