Popis: We describe a study leading to the discovery of compound 11, a pan-genotypic hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitor with excellent potency, metabolic stability, and pharmacokinetics (PK). Compound 11 incorporating a 4-silapiperidine group was discovered by further optimizing our previous lead with a triethylsilyl moiety. It displayed great potency against genotype 1 subtype a (GT1a), -1b, -2a, -3a, -4a, -5a, and -6a with an EC50 range of 0.33-17 pM and improved potency against the resistance-associated variant GT1a_M28T. Pharmacokinetics (PK) study indicated that compound 11 has reasonable PK exposures with a high liver distribution in preclinical animal species (mouse, rat, and dog). The results of a 14 day repeat-dose toxicity study identified the safety of compound 11.
