Popis: | Hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNase H (RNH) is an appealing therapeutic target due to its essential role in viral replication. RNH inhibitors (RNHIs) could help to more effectively control HBV infections. Here, we report 3-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-diones as novel HBV RNHIs with antiviral activity. We synthesized and tested 52 analogs and found 4 that inhibit HBV RNH activity in infected cells. Importantly, 2 of these compounds inhibited HBV replication in the low micromolar range. |
