Structure-based design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 1,1-dioxoisothiazole and benzo[b]thiophene-1,1-dioxide derivatives as novel inhibitors of hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase

Journal Article · · Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.
A novel series of HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitors comprising 1,1-dioxoisothiazoles and benzo[b]thiophene-1,1-dioxides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated. SAR studies guided by structure-based design led to the identification of a number of potent NS5B inhibitors with nanomolar IC{sub 50} values. The most potent compound exhibited IC{sub 50} less than 10 nM against the genotype 1b HCV polymerase and EC{sub 50} of 70 nM against a genotype 1b replicon in cell culture. The DMPK properties of selected compounds were also evaluated.
