Discovery of the first thumb pocket 1 NS5B polymerase inhibitor (BILB 1941) with demonstrated antiviral activity in patients chronically infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Abstract excerpt

Combinations of direct acting antivirals (DAAs) that have the potential to suppress emergence of resistant virus and that can be used in interferon-sparing regimens represent a preferred option for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. We have discovered allosteric (thumb pocket 1) non-nucleoside inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase that inhibit replication in replicon systems. Herein, we report the late-stage...
