Abstract
Herein we report the successful incorporation of a lactam as an amide replacement in the design of hepatitis C virus NS5B Site II thiophene carboxylic acid inhibitors. Optimizing potency in a replicon assay and minimizing potential risk for CYP3A4 induction led to the discovery of inhibitor 22a. This lead compound has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile in rats and dogs.
