ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
SAR development of indole-based palm site inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase exemplified by initial indole lead 1 (NS5B IC(50)=0.9 μM, replicon EC(50)>100 μM) is described. Structure-based drug design led to the incorporation of novel heterocyclic moieties at the indole C3-position which formed a bidentate interaction with the protein backbone. SAR development resulted in leads 7q (NS5B IC(50)=0.032 μM, replicon EC(50)=1.4 μM) and 7r (NS5B IC(50)=0.017 μM, replicon EC(50)=0.3 μM) with improved enzyme and replicon activity.
