The development of interferon-free regimens for the treatment of chronic HCV infection constitutes a preferred option that is expected in the future to provide patients with improved efficacy, better tolerability, and reduced risk for emergence of drug-resistant virus. We have pursued non-nucleoside NS5B polymerase allosteric inhibitors as combination partners with other direct acting antivirals (DAAs) having a complementary mechanism of action. Herein, we describe the discovery of a potent follow-up compound (BI 207524, 27) to the first thumb pocket 1 NS5B inhibitor to demonstrate antiviral activity in genotype 1 HCV infected patients, BILB 1941 (1). Cell-based replicon potency was significantly improved through electronic modulation of the pKa of the carboxylic acid function of the lead molecule. Subsequent ADME-PK optimization lead to 27, a predicted low clearance compound in man. The preclinical profile of inhibitor 27 is discussed, as well as the identification of a genotoxic metabolite that led to the discontinuation of the development of this compound.

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 optimization of indole-based inhibitors, which began with the identification of a metabolic liability common to many previously reported inhibitors in this series. By use of parallel synthesis techniques, a sparse matrix of inhibitors was generated that provided a collection of inhibitors satisfying potency criteria and displaying improved in vitro ADME profiles. "Cassette" screening for oral absorption in rat provided a short list of potential development candidates. Further evaluation led to the discovery of the first thumb pocket 1 NS5B inhibitor (BILB 1941) that demonstrated antiviral activity in patients chronically infected with genotype 1 HCV.
