We describe the research that led to the discovery of compound 40 (ruzasvir, MK-8408), a pan-genotypic HCV nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitor with a "flat" GT1 mutant profile. This NS5A inhibitor contains a unique tetracyclic indole core while maintaining the imidazole-proline-valine Moc motifs of our previous NS5A inhibitors. Compound 40 is currently in early clinical trials and is under evaluation as part of an all-oral DAA regimen for the treatment of chronic HCV infection.
我们描述了导致发现化合物40(鲁扎斯韦,MK-8408)的研究过程,它是一种泛基因型丙型肝炎病毒非结构蛋白5A(NS5A)抑制剂,具有“扁平”的GT1突变体谱。这种NS5A抑制剂含有独特的四环吲哚核心,同时保留了我们之前的NS5A抑制剂的咪唑-脯氨酸-缬氨酸Moc基序。化合物40目前正处于早期临床试验阶段,作为一种全口服直接抗病毒药物(DAA)方案的一部分,正在接受评估,用于治疗慢性丙型肝炎病毒感染。
