Abstract excerpt
A series of new tricyclic nucleosides were synthesized and evaluated as hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication inhibitors. Initial screening in a HCV replicon system, derived from a genotype 1b isolate, identified 9-benzylamino-3-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-3H-imidazo[4',5':5,6]pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine (15d) as the most potent analogue. Comparative assessment of 15d activity against HCV full-length viruses or subgenomic...
