Abstrakt: A new class of small molecules that bind the HCV RNA IRES IIA subdomain with sub-micromolar affinity is reported. The benzimidazole ‘hit' 1 with a KD ~100 μM to a 29-mer RNA model of Domain IIA was identified from a 180000-member library using mass spectrometry-based screening methods. Further MS-assisted SAR (structure−activity relationships) studies afforded benzimidazole derivatives with sub-micromolar binding affinity for the IIA RNA construct. The optimized benzimidazoles demonstrated activity in a cellular replicon assay at concentrations comparable to their KD for the RNA target.
