A structure-activity relationship investigation of various 6-(azaindol-2-yl)pyridine-3-sulfonamides using the HCV replicon cell culture assay led to the identification of a potent series of 7-azaindoles that target the hepatitis C virus NS4B. Compound 2ac, identified via further optimization of the series, has excellent potency against the HCV 1b replicon with an EC50 of 2nM and a selectivity index of >5000 with respect to cellular GAPDH RNA. Compound 2ac also has excellent oral plasma exposure levels in rats, dogs and monkeys and has a favorable liver to plasma distribution profile in rats.
使用丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)复制子细胞培养试验对各种6-(氮杂吲哚-2-基)吡啶-3-磺酰胺进行构效关系研究,从而鉴定出一系列靶向丙型肝炎病毒NS4B的强效7-氮杂吲哚。通过对该系列进行进一步优化鉴定出的化合物2ac,对HCV 1b复制子具有优异的活性,其半数有效浓度(EC50)为2nM,相对于细胞甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶(GAPDH)RNA的选择性指数>5000。化合物2ac在大鼠、犬和猴中还具有优异的口服血浆暴露水平,并且在大鼠中具有良好的肝脏与血浆分布特征。
