SAR study of bisamides as cyclophilin a inhibitors for the development of host-targeting therapy for hepatitis C virus infection.
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry 2020 October 2
The therapy of chronic hepatitis C virus infections has significantly improved with the development of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), which contain NS3/4A protease, NS5A, and NS5B polymerase inhibitors. However, mutations in specific residues in these viral target genes are associated with resistance to the DAAs. Especially inhibitors of NS3/4A protease and NS5A, such as grazoprevir and velpatasvir, have a low barrier to resistant mutations. As a result, the mutations influence the virological outcomes after DAA treatment. CypA inhibitors, as host-targeted agents, act on host factors to inhibit HCV replication, exhibiting a high resistance barrier and pan-genotype activities against HCV. Therefore, they can be developed into alternative, more effective anti-HCV agents. However, CypA inhibitors are natural products and analogs. Based on previous studies, bisamide derivatives were designed and synthesized to develop a novel class of CypA inhibitors. Bisamide derivative 7c is a promising compound with potent anti-HCV activity at subtoxic concentrations. Surface plasmon resonance experiments revealed that 7c directly binds to CypA. All these studies indicated that the derivative 7c is a potent CypA inhibitor, which can be used as a host-targeted agent in combination with other antiviral agents for anti-HCV treatment.
