Thiophen urea derivatives as a new class of hepatitis C virus entry inhibitors.


ABSTRACT: To develop unique small-molecule inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV), thiophen urea (TU) derivatives were synthesised and screened for HCV entry inhibitory activities. Among them, seven TU compounds exhibited portent anti-viral activities against genotypes 1/2 (EC50 < 30 nM) and subsequently, they were further investigated; based on the pharmacological, metabolic, pharmacokinetic, and safety profiles, J2H-1701 was selected as the optimised lead compound as an HCV entry inhibitor. J2H-1701 possesses effective multi-genotypic antiviral activity. The docking results suggested the potential interaction of J2H-1701 with the HCV E2 glycoprotein. These results suggest that J2H-1701 can be a potential candidate drug for the development of HCV entry inhibitors.
