Abstract

We disclose here a series of P4-benzoxaborole-substituted macrocyclic HCV Protease Inhibitors. These inhibitors are potent against HCV NS3 protease, their anti-HCV replicon potencies are largely impacted by substitutions on benzoxaborole ring system and P2∗ groups. P2∗ 2-thiazole-isoquinoline provides best replicon potency. The in vitro SAR studies and in vivo PK evaluations of selected compounds are described herein.
