Exploration of the P2 region by mimicking the proline motif found in BILN2061 resulted in the discovery of two series of potent HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors. X-ray crystal structure of the ligand in contact with the NS3/4A protein and modulation of the quinoline heterocyclic region by structure based design and modeling allowed for the optimization of enzyme potency and cellular activity. This research led to the selection of clinical candidate IDX320 having good genotype coverage and pharmacokinetic properties in various species.
通过模拟在BILN2061中发现的脯氨酸基序对P2区域进行探索，从而发现了两个系列的强效丙型肝炎病毒NS3/4A蛋白酶抑制剂。与NS3/4A蛋白结合的配体的X射线晶体结构以及通过基于结构的设计和建模对喹啉杂环区域进行的调节，实现了酶活性和细胞活性的优化。这项研究促成了临床候选药物IDX320的选定，该药物在各种物种中具有良好的基因型覆盖范围和药代动力学特性。
