Fluorinated oligopeptides, especially those having 4,4-difluoro-2-amino butyric acid at the C terminus, may be effective inhibitors of hepatitis C virus NS3 protease. Examples of hexapeptides of the invention, optimized for binding in the S1 specificity p

N-Terminal truncation of the hexapeptide ketoacid 1 gave rise to potent tripeptide inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus NS3 protease/NS4A cofactor complex. Optimization of these tripeptides led to ketoacid 30 with an IC50 of 0.38 μM. The SAR of these tripeptides is discussed in the light of the recently published crystal structures of a ternary tripetide/NS3/NS4A complexes.
