Antiviral Compounds

The present invention prov ides compounds of Formula I useful as inhibitors of hepatitis C v irus ( HCV), as inhibitors of HCV infection, and for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis C infection. Hepatitis C virus (HCV ) infection is a major health problem that affects 1 70 mill ion people worldwide and 3-4 mill ion people in the United States (Armstrong, G.L., et al., Ann. Intern. Med. 2006, 144:705-714; Lauer, G.M., et al ., N. Eng. J. Med. 2001 , 345 :41-52). HCV infection leads to chronic liv er disease, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in a substantial number of infected individuals. Chronic HCV infection associated liver cirrhosis and

hepatocellular carcinoma are also the leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States. Current treatments for HCV in fection include immunotherapy with pegylated interferon-α in combination with the nucleoside-analog ribavirin. Pegylated interferon-a in combination with ribavirin and one of the two recently approved HCV NS3 protease inhibitors Incivek or Vict re lis is the current standard of care for the treatment of genotype 1 HCV infected patients, the most difficult to treat patient population. However, current HCV treatments are compromised by suboptimal sustained virological. response rates and associated with severe side effects, as well as resistance to the protease inhibitors. Therefore there is a clear need for improv ed antiviral drugs with better efficacy, safety, and resistance profiles. The infection of human hepatocytcs by HCV, also known as HCV entry, is mediated by the functional interactions of virally-encoded envelope glycoproteins E 1 and E2 and host cell co- receptors, followed by a receptor-mediated endocytosis processes. This HCV entry step is a putative target for therapeutic intervention. Several virally-encoded enzymes are also putative targets for therapeutic intervention, including a metal loprotease ( NS2-3 ), a serine protease (NS3. amino acid residues 1 -180), a helicase (NS3, full length ), an NS3 protease co factor (NS4A), a membrane protein (NS4B), a zinc metalloprotein ( NS5A) and an R A-dependent RNA polymerase (NS5B). Systems have been developed to study the biology of HCV entry into host cells. Pscudotyping systems where the E l and E2 glycoproteins are used to functionally replace the glycoproteins of retroviruses have been developed ( Bartosch, B., Dubuisson, J. and Cosset. F.-L. J. Exp. Med. 2003, 197:633-642; Hsu, M. et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2003, 100:727 1 -7276). These systems yield HCV pseudoparticies that bind to and enter host cells in a manner which is believed to be analogous to the natural v i us, thus making them a convenient tool to study the viral entry steps as well as to identify inhibitors blocking this process.

There is a clear and long- felt need to develop effective therapeutics for treatment of HCV infection. Specifically, there is a need to develop compounds that selectively inhibit HCV viral entry and replication and that are useful for treating HCV-in fected patients and protecting liver transplant patients from HCV re-infection. This application discloses novel compounds that are effective in prevention of HCV infection. Additionally, the disclosed compounds prov ide advantages for pharmaceutical uses, for example, with respect to their mechanism of action, binding, prevention of infection, inhibition efficacy, and target selectivity.

Detailed Description of the Invention

Definitions

The phrase "a" or "an" entity as used herein refers to one or more of that entity; for example, a compound refers to one or more compounds or at least one compound. As such, the terms "a" (or "an"), "one or more", and "at least one" can be used interchangeably herein.

As used in this specification, whether in a transitional phrase or in the body of the claim, the terms "comprise(s)" and "comprising" are to be interpreted as having an open-ended meaning. That is, the terms are to be interpreted synonymously with the phrases "having at least" or

"including at least". When used in the context of a process, the term "comprising" means that the process includes at least the recited steps, but may include additional steps. When used in the context of a compound or composition, the term "comprising" means that the com ound or composition includes at least the recited features or components, but may also include additional features or components.

As used herein, unless specifically indicated otherwise, the word "or" is used in the "inclusive" sense of "and/or" and not the "exclusive" sense of "either/or". Thc term "independently" is used herein to indicate that a variable is applied in any one instance without regard to the presence or absence of a variable having that same or a different definition within the same compound. Thus, in a compound in which R" appears twice and is defined as "independently carbon or nitrogen", both R"s can be carbon, both R"s can be nitrogen, or one R" can be carbon and the other nitrogen.

When any variable occurs more than one time in any moiety or formula depicting and describing compounds employed or claimed in the present invention, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such compounds result in stable compounds.

The symbols "*" at the end of a bond or " " " " drawn through a bond each refer to the point of attachment of a functional group or other chemical moiety to the rest of the molecule of which it is a part. Thus, for example:

McC(=0)OR ⁱ wherein R > =— <] or -j-<] MeC(=0)0-<]

A bond drawn into ring system (as opposed to connected at a distinct vertex) indicates that the bond may be attached to any of the suitable ring atoms. The term "optional" or "optionally ^" as used herein means that a subsequently described event or circumstance may, but need not, occur, and that the description includes instances where the ev ent or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, "optionally substituted" means that the optionally substituted moiety may incorporate a hydrogen atom or a substituent.

If a substituent is designated to be "absent", the substituent is not present.

The term "about" is used herein to mean approximately, in the region of, roughly, or around. When the term "about" is used in conjunction w ith a numerical range, it modifies that range by extending the boundaries above and below the numerical values set forth. In general, the term "about" is used herein to modify a numerical value abov e and below the stated value by a variance of 20%. Certain com ounds may exhibit tautomerism. Tautomeric compounds can exist as two or more interconvertable species. Prototropic tautomers result from the migration of a covalently bonded hydrogen atom between two atoms. Tautomers generally exist in equilibrium and attempts to isolate an individual tautomers usually produce a mi ture whose chemical and physical properties are consistent with a mixture of compounds. The position of the equil ibrium is dependent on chemical features within the molecule. For example, in many aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, such as acetaldehyde, the keto form predominates while; in phenols, the enol form predominates. Common prototropic tautomers include keto/enol

(-C(=0)-CH-□ -C(-OH)=CH-), amide/imidic acid (-C(=0)-NH-□ -C(-OH)=N-) and amidinc (-C(=NR)-NH-□ -C(-NHR)=N-) tautomers. The latter two are particularly common in heteroaryl and heterocycl ic rings and the present invention encompasses all tautomeric forms of the compounds. Technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by one of skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, unless otherwise defined. Reference is made herein to various methodologies and materials known to those of skill in the art. Standard reference works setting forth the general principles of pharmacology include Goodman and Oilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 10 ^th Ed., McGraw Hill Companies Inc., New York ( 2001 ). Any suitable materials and/or methods known to those of skill can be utilized in carrying out the present invention. How ever, preferred materials and methods are described.

The preferred manner of administration is general ly oral using a convenient daily dosing regimen which can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction and the patient's response to the active ingredient. A compound or compounds of the present invention, as well as their pharmaceutically useable salts, together with one or more conventional excipients, carriers, or diluents, may be placed into the form of pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosages. The pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms may be comprised of conventional ingredients in conventional proportions, with or without additional active compounds or principles, and the unit dosage forms may contain any suitable effective amount of the active ingredient commensurate with the intended daily dosage range to be employed. The pharmaceutical compositions may be employed as solids, such as tablets or filled capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations, or liquids such as solutions, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs, or filled capsules for oral use; or in the form of suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration; or in the form of sterile injectable solutions for parenteral use. A typical preparation will contain from about 5% to about 95% active compound or compounds (w/w). The term "preparation" or "dosage form" is intended to include both sol id and liquid formulations of the active compound and one skilled in the art will appreciate that an active ingredient can e ist in different preparations depending on the target organ or tissue and on the desired dose and pharmacokinetic parameters. Thc term "excipient" as used herein refers to a compound that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition, generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes excipients that are acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. The compounds of this invention can be administered alone but will generally be administered in admixture with one or more suitable pharmaceutical excipients. diluents or carriers selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. "Pharmaceutically acceptable ^" ' means that which is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, non-toxic, and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable and includes that which is acceptable for veterinary as well as human pharmaceutical use.

A "pharmaceutical ly acceptable salt" form of an active ingredient may also initial ly confer a desirable pharmacokinetic property on the active ingredient which were absent in the non-salt form, and may even positively affect the ph arm acod yn am i cs of the active ingredient with respect to its therapeutic activity in the body. The phrase ^" pharmaceutically acceptable salt" of a compound means a salt that is pharmaceutically acceptable and that possesses the desired pharmacological activity of the parent compound. Such salts include: (1) acid addition salts, formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromie acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like; or formed with organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, hcxanoic acid, c y c I o p e n t a n e p ro p i o n i c acid, glycol ic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fu marie acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandel ic acid, mcthanesul fonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1 ,2-ethanc-disul fonic acid, 2 - h y d ro x y c t h a n c s u 1 fo n i c acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 4 - c h 1 o ro b e n ze n es u 1 fo n i c acid, 2-naphthalenesul fonic acid, 4-tolucnesulfonic acid, camphorsul fonic acid, 4-methyibicyclo[2.2.2]-oct-2-ene-l-carboxyiic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 3-phenyl propionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tertiary butylacetic acid, lauryl sulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxy-naphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, muconic acid, and the like; or (2) salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound either is replaced by a metal ion, e.g. , an alkali metal ion, an alkal ine earth ion, or an aluminum ion; or coordinates with an organic ba.se such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, tricthano!aminc, tromethamine, N-meth yl gl ucam i ne, and the l ike. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. A solid carrier may be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating material . In powders, the carrier generally is a finely divided solid which is a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active component generally is mixed with the carrier hav ing the necessary binding capacity in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. Suitable carriers include but are not limited to magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymcthylccllulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. Solid form preparations may contain, in addition to the active component, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the l ike. Liquid formulations also are suitable for oral administration include l iquid formulation including emulsions, syrups, elixirs, aqueous solutions, aqueous suspensions. These include solid form preparations which are intended to be converted to liquid form preparations shortly before use. Emulsions may be prepared in solutions, for example, in aqueous propylene glycol solutions or may contain emulsifying agents such as lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia. Aqueous solutions can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabil izing, and thickening agents. Aqueous suspensions can be prepared by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylceliulose, and other well-known suspending agents.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for parenteral administration (e.g., by injection, for example bolus injection or continuous infusion ) and may be presented in unit dose form in ampoules, pre- filled syringes, small v olume infusion or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous v ehicles, for example solutions in aqueous polyethylene glycol .

Examples of oily or nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils (e.g., olive oil), and injectable organic esters (e.g., ethyl oleate), and may contain formulatory agents such as preserv ing, wetting, emulsifying o suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form, obtained by aseptic isolation of sterile solid or by lyophilisation from solution for constitution before use with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile, pyrogen-free water. The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for topical administration to the epidermis as ointments, creams or lotions, or as a transdermal patch. Ointments and creams may, for example, be formulated with an aqueous or oily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gell ing agents. Lotions may be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and will in general also containing one or more emulsifying agents, stabilizing agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, or coloring agents. Formulations suitable for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges comprising active agents in a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; pastilles comprising the active ingredient in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia; and mouthwashes comprising the active ingredient in a suitable l iquid carrier.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for administration as suppositories. A low melting wax, such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter is first melted and the active component is dispersed homogeneously, for example, by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool, and to solidify.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for vaginal administration.

Pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or sprays containing in addition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.

The compounds of the present invention may be formulated for nasal administration. The solutions or suspensions are applied directly to the nasal cavity by conventional means, for example, with a dropper, pipette or spray. The formulations may be provided in a single or mult idose form, in the latter case of a dropper or pipette, this may be achieved by the patient administering an appropriate, predetermined volume of the solution or suspension. In the case of a spray, this may be achieved for example by means of a metering atomizing spray pump. Th c compounds of the present invention may be formulated for aerosol administration, particularly to the respiratory tract and including intranasal administration. The compound will generally have a small particle size for example of the order of five (5) microns or less. Such a particle size may be obtained by means known in the art, for example by micronization. The active ingredient is provided in a pressurized pack with a suitable propellant such as a c h 1 o ro fl u o ro c a rbo n (CFC), for example, d ich lorod i fl uoromct hane, trichlorofluoromethane, or dichlorotetraf!uoroethane, or carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. The aerosol may conveniently also contain a surfactant such as lecithin. The dose of drug may be controlled by a metered valve. Alternatively the active ingredients may be prov ided in a form of a dry pow der, for example a powder mix of the compound in a suitable powder base such as lactose, starch, starch derivatives such as h yd rox y p ro p y 1 m et h y 1 cellulose and po 1 y v i n y 1 p yrro 1 idine (PVP). The pow der carrier will form a gel in the nasal cavity. The powder composition may be presented in unit dose form for example in capsules or cartridges of e.g. , gelatin or bl ister packs from w hich the pow der may be administered by means of an inhaler.

When desired, formulations can be prepared with enteric coatings adapted for sustained or controlled release administration of the active ingredient. For example, the compounds of the present invention can be formulated in transdermal or subcutaneous drug del ivery devices.

These del ivery systems are advantageous when sustained release of the compound is necessary and when patient compl iance with a treatment regimen is crucial . Compounds in transdermal del ivery systems are frequently attached to a skin-adhesive solid support. The compound of interest can also be combined with a penetration enhancer, e.g., A zone ( 1 -dodecylaza- cycloheptan-2-one). Sustained release delivery systems arc inserted subcutaneously into to the subdermal layer by surgery or injection. The subdcrmal implants encapsulate the compound in a lipid soluble membrane, e.g., silicone rubber, or a biodegradable polymer, e.g., polylactic acid.

Suitable formulations along with pharmaceutical carriers, diluents and excipients are described in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy 1995, edited by E. W. Martin, Mack Publishing Company, 19th edition, Easton, Pennsylvania. A skilled formulation scientist may modify the formulations w ithin the teachings of the specification to prov ide numerous formulations for a particular route of administration w ithout rendering the compositions of the present invention unstable or compromising their therapeutic activity. Th c modification of the present compounds to render them more soluble in water or other vehicle, for example, may be easily accompl ished by minor modifications (salt formulation, esterification, etc. ), which arc well within the ordinary skill in the art. It is also well within the ordinary skill of the art to modify the route of administration and dosage regimen of a particular compound in order to manage the pharmacokinetics of the present compounds for maximum beneficial effect in patients.

The term "therapeutically effective amount" as used herein means an amount required to reduce symptoms of the disease in an individual. The dose will be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case. That dosage can vary within w ide l imits depending upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and general health condition of the patient, other medicaments with which the patient is being treated, the route and form of administration and the preferences and experience of the medical practitioner involved. For oral administration, a daily dosage of between about 0.01 and about 1000 mg/kg body weight per day should be appropriate in monotherapy and/or in combination therapy. A preferred daily dosage is betw een about 0. 1 and about 500 mg/kg body w eight, more preferred 0. 1 and about 1 00 mg/kg body weight and most preferred 1 .0 and about 10 mg/kg body weight per day. Thus, for administration to a 70 kg person, the dosage range would be about 7 mg to 0.7 g per day. The daily dosage can be administered as a single dosage or in div ided dosages, typically between 1 and 5 dosages per day. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect for the individual patient is reached. One of ordinary skill in treating diseases described herein will be able, w ithout undue experimentation and in reliance on personal knowledge, experience and the disclosures of this appl ication, to ascertain a

therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of the present invention for a given disease and patient.

General Conditions

Compounds of the invention can be made by a variety of methods depicted in the illustrative synthetic reactions described below in the Examples section.

The starting materials and reagents used in preparing these com ounds generally are either available from commercial suppliers, such as Aldrich Chemical Co., or are prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art following procedures set forth in references such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis; Wiley & Sons: New York, 1991 , Volumes 1 -15; Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989, Volumes 1-5 and

Supplemental; and Organic Reactions, Wiley & Sons: New York, 1 991 , Volumes 1 -40. It should be appreciated that the synthetic reaction schemes shown in the Examples section are me ely il lustrative of some methods by which the compounds of the invention can be

synthesized, and various modifications to these synthetic reaction schemes can be made and will be suggested to one skilled in the art having referred to the disclosure contained in this application.

The starting materials and the intermediates of the synthetic reaction schemes can be isolated and purified if desired using conv entional techniques, including but not l imited to, filtration, distillation, crystallization, chromatography, and the like. Such materials can be characterized using conventional means, including physical constants and spectral data. Unless specified to the contrary, the reactions described herein are typically conducted under an inert atmosphere at atmospheric pressure at a reaction temperature range of from about -78 °C to about 1 50 °C, often from about 0 °C to about 125 °C, and more often and conveniently at about room (or ambient ) temperature, e.g., about 20 °C.

Various substituents on the compounds of the invention can be present in the starting

compounds, added to any one of the intermediates or added after formation of the final products by known methods of substitution or conversion reactions. If the substituents themselves arc reactive, then the substituents can themselves be protected according to the techniques known in the art. A variety of protecting groups arc known in tlie art, and can be employed. Examples of many of the possible groups can be found in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" by Green et a!., John Wiley and Sons, 1999. For example, nitro groups can be added by nitration and the nitro group can be converted to other groups, such as amino by reduction, and halogen by diazotization of the amino group and replacement of the diazo group with halogen. Acyl groups can be added by Friedel-Crafts deviation. The acyl groups can then be transformed to the corresponding alky] groups by various methods, including the Wolff-Kishner reduction and Clemmenson reduction. Amino groups can be alkylated to form mono- and di-alkylamino groups; and mercapto and hydroxy groups can be alkylated to form corresponding ethers.

Primary alcoliols can be oxidized by oxidizing agents known in the art to form earboxylic acids or aldehydes, and secondary alcohols can be oxidized to form ketones. Thus, substitution or alteration reactions can be employed to provide a variety of substituents throughout the molecule of the starting material, intermediates, or the final product, including isolated products.

Determination of compounds HCV GTlb and GTla entry inhibitory activity using the pseudotyped HCV particle (HCVpp) reporter assay.

Mammalian expression plasmids for the generation of pseudotyped virus particles.

Plasmids expressing HCV El and E2 envelope proteins of GTla H77 strain (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1997 94:8738-43) or GTlb Con 1 strain (Science 1 999 285 : 1 10-3) were constructed by cloning the nucleic acids encoding the last 60 amino acids of HCV core protein and all of the

HCV El and E2 proteins into pcDNA3.1(+) vector. Plasmid pVSV-G expressing the glycoprotcin G of the vesicular stomatitis v irus (VSV G) is from Clontech (cat # 631530). The H IV packaging construct expressing the firefly l uci fcra.se reporter gene was modified based on the envelope defective p L.4.3. I.uc-R .E vector (Virology 1 995 206:935-44) by further deleting part of the H IV envelope protein.

Generation of pseudotyped virus particles in transiently transfected HE -293T cells.

Pseudotyped HCV GTla and GTlb particles (HCVpp) and the pseudotyped VSV G particles (VSVpp) were generated from transiently transfected H E -293T cells (ATCC cat# CRL-573 ). For generating HCVpp, the HEK-293T cells were transfected with equal amounts of plasmids expressing the HCV envelope proteins and the H IV packaging genome by using

polycthylenimine (Polysciences cat# 23966) as transfection reagent. For generating VSVpp, the HEK.-293T cells were transfected with equal amounts of plasmids expressing VSV G and the H IV packaging genome by using polyethylenimine. 24 hours after the transfection, the cell culture medium containing the transfection mixture was replaced with fresh Dulbecco's

Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM-Glutamax™-I; Invitrogen cat # 1 0569-01 0) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum ( Invitrogen cat # 10082-147) and 2 mM L-glutamine ( Invitrogen cat # 25030-081). The supernatant was collected 48 hours after the transfection and filtered through a sterile 0.45 iim filter. Aliquots of the supernatant was frozen and stored at -80°C until use.

Huh7-high CDS 1 cells with high CDS 1 expression level were enriched by flow cytometry sorting using FITC-labeled CDS 1 antibody JS-81 (BD Biosciences cat# 561956) to allow more efficient HCV entry. The Huh7-high CDS 1 cells were cultured in Dulbecco ^' s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM-Glutamax™-I; Invitrogen cat # 10569-01 0). The medium was supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum ( Invitrogen cat # 10082- 147) and 1% pen ici 11 i n/streptomyci n ( Inv itrogen cat # 1 5070-063 ). Cells were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified 5% C0 ₂ atmosphere.

Determination of compound HCVpp entry inhibitory activity in Huh7-high CDS 1 cells.

Huh7-high CDS 1 cells were plated at a cell density of 8000 cells per well in 96 well plates ( Perk in Elmer, cat # 6005660). Cells were plated in 100 μΐ of Dulbecco ^' s Modified Eagle Medium ( DM M-Glutamax™-I, Invitrogen Cat # 1 0569-01 0) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bov ine Serum ( Invitrogen Cat # 10082-147) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin ( Invitrogen cat # 15070-063). Cells were allowed to equilibrate for 24 hours at 37°C and 5% C02 at which time compounds and pseudotyped viruses were added. On the day of the assay, HCVpp aliquots were thawed in 37°C water bath and kept at 4°C until use. Compounds (or medium as a control ) were diluted in 3 fold dilution series in DMEM-Glutamax™-I with 2% DMSO and 2%

pen i c i 11 i n/st reptom yc i n . The 100 μΐ plating medium in each culture well was removed follow ed by the addition of 50 μΙ compound dilutions and 50 μΐ thawed HCVpp. Firefly luciferase reporter signal was read 72 hours after the addition of compounds and HCVpp using the Steady- Glo luciferase Assay System (Promega, cat # E2520 ) following the manufacturer's instruction. EC50 values were defined as the compound concentration at which a 50% reduction in the levels of firefly luciferase reporter was observed as compared to control samples in the absence of compound and was determined by non-linear fitting of compound dose-response data.

Determination of compound selectiv ity in Huli7-high CD81 cells.

Huh 7 hCD81 ceil assay plates and compound dilutions were set up in the same format as in the HCVpp assay. 24 hours after cell plating, thaw ed VSVpp was diluted by 800 fold in DMEM- Glutamax™-! supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. After remov al of the cell plating medium from the culture wells, 50 ul. compound dilutions and 50 ul. diluted VSVpp were added to the wells. Firefly luciferase reporter signal was read 72 hours after the addition of compounds and VSVpp using the Steady-Glo luciferase Assay System (Promega, cat # E2520). EC50 v alues were defined as the compound concentration at which a 50% reduction in the levels of firefly lucifera.se reporter was observed as compared to control samples in the absence of compound and was determined by non-l inear fitting of compound dose-response data. The EC50 was approximated if maximum percentage inhibition was less than 90% and more than 70%.
