There is currently an unmet need for the development of small-molecule therapeutics for norovirus infection. The piperazine scaffold, a privileged structure embodied in many pharmacological agents, was used to synthesize an array of structurally-diverse derivatives which were screened for anti-norovius activity in a cell-based replicon system. The studies described herein demonstrate for the first time that functionalized piperazine derivatives possess anti-norovirus activity. Furthermore, these ...[more]
