Phenylglycine has proved to be a useful P2 residue in HCV NS3 protease inhibitors. A novel π–π-interaction between the phenylglycine and the catalytic H57 residue of the protease is postulated. We hypothesized that the introduction of a vinyl on the phenylglycine might strengthen this π–π-interaction. Thus, herein is presented the synthesis and inhibitory potency of a series of acyclic vinylated phenylglycine-based HCV NS3 protease inhibitors. Surprisingly, inhibitors based on both d- and l-phenylglycine were found to be effective inhibitors, with a slight preference for the d-epimers. Furthermore, prime-side alkenylic extension of the C-terminal acylsulfonamide group gave significantly improved inhibitors with potencies in the nanomolar range (~35 nM), potencies which were retained on mutant variants of the protease. 相似文献

Novel potent macrocyclic inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus NS3 protease: use of cyclopentane and cyclopentene P2-motifs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bäck M Johansson PO Wångsell F Thorstensson F Kvarnström I Ayesa S Wähling H Pelcman M Jansson K Lindström S Wallberg H Classon B Rydergård C Vrang L Hamelink E Hallberg A Rosenquist S Samuelsson B 《Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry》2007,15(22):7184-7202
Several highly potent novel HCV NS3 protease inhibitors have been developed from two inhibitor series containing either a P2 trisubstituted macrocyclic cyclopentane- or a P2 cyclopentene dicarboxylic acid moiety as surrogates for the widely used N-acyl-(4R)-hydroxyproline in the P2 position. These inhibitors were optimized for anti HCV activities through examination of different ring sizes in the macrocyclic systems and further by exploring the effect of P4 substituent removal on potency. The target molecules were synthesized from readily available starting materials, furnishing the inhibitor compounds in good overall yields. It was found that the 14-membered ring system was the most potent in these two series and that the corresponding 13-, 15-, and 16-membered macrocyclic rings delivered less potent inhibitors. Moreover, the corresponding P1 acylsulfonamides had superior potencies over the corresponding P1 carboxylic acids. It is noteworthy that it has been possible to develop highly potent HCV protease inhibitors that altogether lack the P4 substituent. Thus the most potent inhibitor described in this work, inhibitor 20, displays a K(i) value of 0.41 nM and an EC(50) value of 9 nM in the subgenomic HCV replicon cell model on genotype 1b. To the best of our knowledge this is the first example described in the literature of a HCV protease inhibitor displaying high potency in the replicon assay and lacking the P4 substituent, a finding which should facilitate the development of orally active small molecule inhibitors against the HCV protease. 相似文献

With three recent market approvals and several inhibitors in advanced stages of development, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease represents a successful target for antiviral therapy against hepatitis C. As a consequence of dealing with viral diseases in general, there are concerns related to the emergence of drug resistant strains which calls for development of inhibitors with an alternative binding-mode than the existing highly optimized ones. We have previously reported on the use of phenylglycine as an alternative P2 residue in HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors. Herein, we present the synthesis, structure–activity relationships and in vitro pharmacokinetic characterization of a diverse series of linear and macrocyclic P2 pyrimidinyloxyphenylglycine based inhibitors. With access to vinyl substituents in P3, P2 and P1′ positions an initial probing of macrocyclization between different positions, using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) could be performed, after addressing some synthetic challenges. Biochemical results from the wild type enzyme and drug resistant variants (e.g., R155 K) indicate that P3–P1′ macrocyclization, leaving the P2 substituent in a flexible mode, is a promising approach. Additionally, the study demonstrates that phenylglycine based inhibitors benefit from p-phenylpyrimidinyloxy and m-vinyl groups as well as from the combination with an aromatic P1 motif with alkenylic P1′ elongations. In fact, linear P2–P1′ spanning intermediate compounds based on these fragments were found to display promising inhibitory potencies and drug like properties. 相似文献

Synthesis of hybrid HCV NS3 protease/NS4A inhibitors having the 4,4-difluoroaminobutyric acid (difluoroAbu) phenethylamides as P1-P1' and quinolyloxyprolines as P2 fragments led to 7 (IC(50) 54 nM). Molecular modelling suggests that this potent tripeptide inhibitor utilizes interactions in the S1', S1, S2, S3 and S4 sites of the protease. 相似文献

HCV–NS3 protease is essential for viral replication and NS3 protease inhibitors have shown proof of concept in clinical trials. Novel P2–P4 macrocycle inhibitors of NS3/4A comprising a P1 C-terminal carboxylic acid have recently been disclosed. A series of analogs, in which the carboxylic residue is replaced by phosphorous acid functionalities were synthesized and found to be inhibitors of the NS3 protease. Among them the methylphosphinate analogue showed nanomolar level of enzyme inhibition and sub-micromolar potency in the replication assay. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus-encoded NS2-3 protease: cleavage-site mutagenesis and requirements for bimolecular cleavage. 下载免费PDF全文
Cleavage at the 2/3 site of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is thought to be mediated by a virus-encoded protease composed of the region of the polyprotein encoding NS2 and the N-terminal one-third of NS3. This protease is distinct from the NS3 serine protease, which is responsible for downstream cleavages in the nonstructural region. Site-directed mutagenesis of residues surrounding the 2/3 cleavage site showed that cleavage is remarkably resistant to single-amino-acid substitutions from P5 to P3' (GWRLL decreases API). The only mutations which dramatically inhibited cleavage were the ones most likely to alter the conformation of the region, such as Pro substitutions at the P1 or P1' position, deletion of both amino acids at P1 and P1', or simultaneous substitution of multiple Ala residues. Cotransfection experiments were done to provide additional information on the polypeptide requirements for bimolecular cleavage. Polypeptides used in these experiments contained amino acid substitutions and/or deletions in NS2 and/or the N-terminal one-third of NS3. Polypeptides with defects in either NS2 or the N-terminal portion of NS3 but not both were cleaved when cotransfected with constructs expressing intact versions of the defective region. Cotransfection experiments also showed that certain defective NS2-3 constructs partially inhibited cleavage of wild-type polypeptides. Although these results show that inefficient cleavage can occur in a bimolecular reaction, they suggest that both molecules must contribute a functional subunit to allow formation of a protease which is capable of cleavage at the 2/3 site. This reaction may resemble the cis cleavage thought to occur at the 2/3 site during processing of the wild-type HCV polyprotein. 相似文献

Molecular modeling and inhibitory potencies of tetrapeptide protease inhibitors of HCV NS3 proposed phenylglycine as a new promising P2 residue. The results suggest that phenylglycine might be capable of interacting with the NS3 (protease-helicase/NTPase) in ways not possible for the common P2 proline-based inhibitors. Thus, a series of tripeptides, both linear and macrocyclic, based on p-hydroxy-phenylglycine in the P2 position were prepared and their inhibitory effect determined. When the p-hydroxy group was replaced by methoxy, isoquinolin-, or quinolinyloxy functions, inhibitors with improved potencies were obtained. The P2 phenylglycine-based inhibitors were further optimized by C-terminal extension to acyl sulfonamides and by P1-P3 cyclization, which gave products with inhibition constants in the nanomolar range ( approximately 75nM). 相似文献

HCV NS3/4A serine protease is essential for the replication of the HCV virus and has been a clinically validated target. A series of HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors containing a novel acylsulfamoyl benzoxaborole moiety at the P1' region was synthesized and evaluated. The resulting P1-P3 and P2-P4 macrocyclic inhibitors exhibited sub-nanomolar potency in the enzymatic assay and low nanomolar activity in the cell-based replicon assay. The in vivo PK evaluations of selected compounds are also described. 相似文献

Novel NS3/4A protease inhibitors comprising quinazoline derivatives as P2 substituent were synthesized. High potency inhibitors displaying advantageous PK properties have been obtained through the optimization of quinazoline P2 substituents in three series exhibiting macrocyclic P2 cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid and P2 proline urea motifs. For the quinazoline moiety it was found that 8-methyl substitution in the P2 cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid series improved on the metabolic stability in human liver microsomes. By comparison, the proline urea series displayed advantageous Caco-2 permeability over the cyclopentane series. Pharmacokinetic properties in vivo were assessed in rat on selected compounds, where excellent exposure and liver-to-plasma ratios were demonstrated for a member of the 14-membered quinazoline substituted P2 proline urea series. 相似文献

The HCV NS3 protease is essential for replication of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and therefore constitutes a promising new drug target for anti-HCV therapy. Several potent and promising HCV NS3 protease inhibitors, some of which display low nanomolar activities, were identified from a series of novel inhibitors incorporating a trisubstituted cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid moiety as a surrogate for the widely used N-acyl-(4R)-hydroxyproline in the P2 position. 相似文献

We have discovered that introduction of appropriate amino acid derivatives at P'2 position improved the binding potency of P3-capped alpha-ketoamide inhibitors of HCV NS3 serine protease. X-ray crystal structure of one of the inhibitors (43) bound to the protease revealed the importance of the P'2 moiety. 相似文献

Inhibition of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protease has emerged as an attractive approach to defeat the global hepatitis C epidemic. In this work, we present the synthesis and biochemical evaluation of HCV NS3 protease inhibitors comprising a non-natural aromatic P(1) moiety. A series of inhibitors with aminobenzoyl sulfonamides displaying submicromolar potencies in the full-length NS3 protease assay was prepared through a microwave-irradiated, palladium-catalyzed, amidocarbonylation protocol. 相似文献

A novel series of 13- and 14-membered macrocyclic amines was developed by linking the P1 and P2' groups. The synthesis entails stereoselective Frater alkylation to install the anti-succinate configuration and macrocyclic amination via nucleophilic displacement. This strategy resulted in a new class of conformationally constrained inhibitors that are potent and selective for MMP-8 and 9 over MMP-1 and 3. 相似文献

We recently described the identification of an optimized alpha-ketoamide warhead for our series of HCV NS3.4A inhibitors. We report herein a series of HCV protease inhibitors incorporating 3-alkyl-substituted prolines in P(2). These compounds show exceptional enzymatic and cellular potency given their relatively small size. The marked enhancement of activity of these 3-substituted proline derivatives relative to previously reported 4-hydroxyproline derivatives constitutes additional evidence for the importance of the S(2) binding pocket as the defining pharmacophore for inhibition of the NS3.4A enzyme. 相似文献

We disclose here a series of P4-benzoxaborole-substituted macrocyclic HCV protease inhibitors. These inhibitors are potent against HCV NS3 protease, their anti-HCV replicon potencies are largely impacted by substitutions on benzoxaborole ring system and P21 groups. P21 2-thiazole-isoquinoline provides best replicon potency. The in vitro SAR studies and in vivo PK evaluations of selected compounds are described herein. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 3 (NS3) serine protease disrupts important cellular antiviral signaling pathways and plays a pivotal role in the proteolytic maturation of the HCV polyprotein precursor. This recent discovery has fostered the search for NS3 protease inhibitors. However, the enzyme's unusual induced fit behavior and peculiar molecular architecture have imposed considerable obstacles to the development of small molecule inhibitors. In this article, we demonstrate that such unique induced fit behavior and the chymotrypsin-like catalytic domain can provide the structural plasticity necessary to generate protein-based inhibitors of the NS3 protease. We took advantage of the macromolecular scaffold of a Drosophila serpin, SP6, which intrinsically supports chymotrypsin-like enzyme inhibition, to design a novel class of potent and selective inhibitors. We show that altering the SP6 reactive site loop (RSL) resulted in the development of the first effective (K(i) of 34 nm) and selective serpin, SP6(EVC/S), directed at the NS3 protease. SP6(EVC/S) operates as a suicide substrate inhibitor, and its partitioning between the complex-forming and proteolytic pathways for the NS3 protease is HCV NS4A cofactor-dependent and -specific. Once bound to the protease active site, SP6(EVC/S) partitions with equal probability to undergo proteolysis by NS3 at the C-terminal site of the engineered RSL, (P(6))Glu-Ile-(P(4))Val-Met-Thr-(P(1))Cys- downward arrow -(P(1)')Ser, or to form a covalent acyl-enzyme complex characteristic of cognate protease-serpin pairs. Our results also reveal a novel cofactor-induced serpin mechanism of enzyme inhibition that could be explored for developing effective and selective inhibitors of other important induced fit viral proteases of the Flaviviridae family such as the West Nile virus NS3 endoprotease. 相似文献

BILN 2061 is a macrocyclic tripeptide inhibitor of hepatitis C virus NS3-4A protease that has shown efficacy in the clinic for treating patients infected with HCV. We have synthesized a P3 aza-peptide analog of a potent macrocyclic tripeptide inhibitor closely related to BILN 2061. This aza-derivative was found to be >2 orders of magnitude less active than the parent macrocycle in both isolated enzyme (HCV NS3-4A) and HCV subgenomic replicon assays. NMR studies of P3 aza-peptides revealed these compounds adopt a beta-turn conformation stabilized by an intramolecular H-bonding interaction. Molecular models of these structures indicate a D-like configuration of the P3 aza-residue. Thus, the configurationally undefined nature at P3 in the aza-peptide allows the compound to adopt an H-bond stabilized conformation that is substantially different from that necessary for tight binding to the active site of HCV NS3 protease. 相似文献

With the aim of discovering potent and selective HCV protease inhibitors, we synthesized and evaluated a series of 1a based tetrapeptidyl ketoamides with additional modification(s) at P1', P1, and P3 positions. As a result of this effort, we found that replacement of the P3 valine with tert-leucine resulted in the discovery of a series of inhibitors (e.g., 3a, 3c, and 4c) endowed with improved enzyme and/or cellular activity relative to 1a. When dosed to F-344 rats orally at 50mg/kg, 3a achieved 2.5x higher liver and plasma exposure in comparison to that detected with 1a. 相似文献

Depeptidization efforts of the P(3)-P(2) region of P(3) capped alpha-ketoamide inhibitor of HCV NS3 serine protease 1 are reported. We clearly established that N-methylation of the P(2) nitrogen and modification of the P(2)' carboxylic acid terminus were essential for activity in the replicon assay. 相似文献

This report describes the development of a cell-based assay for high-throughput screening and detection of small-molecule inhibitors for hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS2/3 protease. The HCV NS2/3 protease is essential for the normal infectious cycle of HCV. Generation of a cell-based assay for this cis-acting viral protease involved reporter constructs in which the NS2/3 protease sequence was inserted between the ,B-lactamase (BLA) reporter and a ubiquitin-based destabilization domain. In stable cell lines, NS2/3 cis cleavage of the NS2/3-BLA fusion protein resulted in differential stability of the cleaved versus uncleaved BLA reporter, providing a robust readout for protease activity. BLA reporter activity was shown to be a function of NS2/3-specific protease activity, by using genetic mutants of the NS2/3 sequence. In addition, the cell-based assay was validated and screened in a 384-well format on a fully automated robotic platform where small-molecule inhibitors of NS2/3 protease activity were identified. 相似文献
