Abstract:
:A series of thiobarbituric acid derivatives were constructed and evaluated for inhibitory activity on hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase. In biochemical assays using purified viral polymerase and RNA template, the IC(50) value was improved to 0.41 microM from the original compound's 1.7 microM value. In HCV subgenomic replicon assay, the EC(50) value was improved to 3.7 microM from the original compound's 12.3 microM value. CC(50) was higher than 77 microM for all compounds tested, suggesting that they are useful candidates for anti-HCV therapy.
