Abstract

The HCV NS3 protease is essential for replication of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and therefore constitutes a promising new drug target for anti-HCV therapy. Several potent and promising HCV NS3 protease inhibitors, some of which display low nanomolar activities, were identified from a series of novel inhibitors incorporating a trisubstituted cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid moiety as a surrogate for the widely used N-acyl-(4 R)-hydroxyproline in the P2 position.
