摘要
Optimization of a novel series of macrocyclic indole-based inhibitors of the HCV NS5b polymerase targeting the finger loop domain led to the discovery of lead compounds exhibiting improved potency in cellular assays and superior pharmacokinetic profile. Further lead optimization performed on the most promising unsaturated-bridged subseries provided the clinical candidate 27-cyclohexyl-12,13,16,17-tetrahydro-22-methoxy-11,17-dimethyl-10,10-dioxide-2,19-methano-3,7: 4,1-dimetheno-1H, 11H-14,10,2,9,11,17-benzoxathiatetraazacyclo docosine-8,18(9H, 15H)-dione, TMC647055 (compound 18a). This non-zwitterionic 17-membered ring macrocycle combines nanomolar cellular potency (EC50 of 82 nM) with minimal associated cell toxicity (CC50 >20 mu M) and promising pharmacokinetic profiles in rats and dogs. TMC647055 is currently being evaluated in the clinic. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
