Abstract: | We report a new series of inhibitors for hepatitis C virus NS5B RNA polymerase containing a constrained pentacyclic scaffold. Our SAR studies led to the identification of hexahydroindolo[2,1-a]pyrrolo[3,2-d][2]benzazepines exposing basic groups. The compounds displayed a high activity in the enzyme assay and displayed good activity in the cell-based (replicon) assay in the presence of serum proteins. |
