HCV NS5A inhibitors are the backbone of directly acting antiviral treatments against the hepatitis C virus (HCV). While these therapies are generally highly curative, they are less effective in some specific HCV patient populations. In the search for broader-acting HCV NS5A inhibitors that address these needs, we explored conformational restrictions imposed by the [7,5]-azabicyclic lactam moiety incorporated into daclatasvir (1) and related HCV NS5A inhibitors. Unexpectedly, compound 5 was identified as a potent HCV genotype 1a and 1b inhibitor. Molecular modeling of 5 bound to HCV genotype 1a suggested that the use of the conformationally restricted lactam moiety might have resulted in reorientation of its N-terminal carbamate to expose a new interaction with the NS5A pocket located between amino acids P97 and Y93, which was not easily accessible to 1. The results also suggest new chemistry directions that exploit the interactions with the P97-Y93 site toward new and potentially improved HCV NS5A inhibitors.

Rapid clinical progress of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication inhibitors, including these selecting for resistance in the NS5A region (NS5A inhibitors), promises to revolutionize HCV treatment. Herein, we describe our explorations of diverse spiropyrrolidine motifs in novel NS5A inhibitors and a proposed interaction model. We discovered that the 1,4-dioxa-7-azaspiro[4.4]nonane motif in inhibitor 41H (GSK2236805) supported high potency against genotypes 1a and 1b as well as in genotype 1b L31V and Y93H mutants. Consistent with this, 41H potently suppressed HCV RNA in the 20-day RNA reduction assay. Pharmacokinetic and safety data supported further progression of 41H to the clinic.
