Abstract excerpt
Upon screening synthetic small molecule libraries with the infectious hepatitis C virus (HCV) cell culture system, we identified a benzothiazepinecarboxamide (BTC) scaffold that inhibits HCV. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study with BTCs was performed, and modifications that led to nanomolar antiviral activity and improved the selective index (CC50/EC50) by more than 1000-fold were identified. In...
