Popis: Described herein is a new approach to mitigate CYP3A4 induction. In this unconventional approach, a fine-tuning of the dihedral angle between the C4 phenyl and the dihydropyrimidine core of the heteroaryldihydropyrimidine (HAP) class of capsid inhibitors successfully altered the structure-activity-relationships (SARs) of the unwanted CYP3A4 induction and the desired HBV capsid inhibition to more favorable values. This eventually led to the discovery of a new capsid inhibitor with significantly reduced CYP3A4 induction, excellent anti-HBV activity, favorable preclinical PK/PD profiles, and no early safety flags.
