Recently, we reported that chlorcyclizine (CCZ, Rac-2), an over-the-counter antihistamine piperazine drug, possesses in vitro and in vivo activity against hepatitis C virus. Here, we describe structure-activity relationship (SAR) efforts that resulted in the optimization of novel chlorcyclizine derivatives as anti-HCV agents. Several compounds exhibited EC50 values below 10 nM against HCV infection, cytotoxicity selectivity indices above 2000, and showed improved in vivo pharmacokinetic properties. The optimized molecules can serve as lead preclinical candidates for the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection and as probes to study hepatitis C virus pathogenesis and host-virus interaction.
最近,我们报道了氯环利嗪(CCZ,消旋体-2),一种非处方抗组胺哌嗪药物,在体外和体内均具有抗丙型肝炎病毒活性。在此,我们描述了结构-活性关系(SAR)研究工作,这些工作导致了新型氯环利嗪衍生物作为抗丙型肝炎病毒药物的优化。几种化合物对丙型肝炎病毒感染的EC50值低于10 nM,细胞毒性选择性指数高于2000,并显示出改善的体内药代动力学性质。优化后的分子可作为治疗丙型肝炎病毒感染的临床前先导候选药物,以及用于研究丙型肝炎病毒发病机制和宿主-病毒相互作用的探针。
