| 20080280842 | Fluorinated Pyrrolo[2,3-D]Pyrimidine Nucleosides for the Treatment of Rna-Dependent Rna Viral Infection - The present invention provides fluorinated pyrrolo[2,3,d]pyrimidine nucleoside compounds which are inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral polymerase. These compounds are inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and are useful for the treatment of RNA-dependent RNA viral infection. They are particularly useful as precursors to inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, as precursors to inhibitors of HCV replication, and/or for the treatment of hepatitis C infection. The invention also describes pharmaceutical compositions containing such fluorinated pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleoside alone or in combination with other agents active against RNA-dependent RNA viral infection, in particular HCV infection. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA viral replication, and/or treating RNA-dependent RNA viral infection with the fluorinated pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleoside of the present invention. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090099126 | Ribonucleoside Cyclic Acetal Derivatives for the Treatment of RNA-Dependent RNA Viral Infection - The present invention provides ribonucleoside 2′,3′-cyclic acetals of structural formula I which are precursors or prodrugs of inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral polymerase. These compounds are precursors of inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and are useful for the treatment of RNA-dependent RNA viral infection. They are particularly useful as pre-cursors or prodrugs of inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, as precursors or prodrugs of inhibitors of HCV replication, and/or for the treatment of hepatitis C infection. The invention also describes pharmaceutical compositions containing such ribonucleoside 2′,3′-cyclic acetals alone or in combination with other agents active against RNA-dependent RNA viral infection, in particular HCV infection. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA viral replication, and/or treating RNA-dependent RNA viral infection with the ribonucleoside 2′,3′-cyclic acetals of the present invention. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090118223 | Novel 2'-c-methyl and 4'c-methyl nucleoside derivatives - Novel 2′-C-methyl nucleoside 5′-monophosphate and 4′-C-methyl nucleoside 5′-monophosphate derivatives, stereoisomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, their preparation, and their uses for the treatment of hepatitis C viral infection are described. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090124661 | HCV NS3 PROTEASE INHIBITORS - The present invention relates to macrocyclic compounds of formula (I) that are useful as inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protease, their synthesis, and their use for treating or preventing HCV infections. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090203008 | Rapid method to determine inhibitor sensitivity of NS3/4A protease sequences cloned from clinical samples - A method for measuring HCV NS3/4A activity from a HCV NS3/4A sequence, comprising obtaining and cloning the sequence into a mammalian expression vector, transiently transfecting a mammalian cell with the vector, which includes a reporter construct encoding a HCV NS3/4A cleavage site fused to a detectable label, measuring signal production from the label resulting from cleavage at the cleavage site, and measuring effects on signal production by addition of a test compound. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100143886 | IN VIVO HCV RESISTANCE TO ANTI-VIRAL INHIBITORS - HCV mutations emerged in chimpanzees treated with a N5B polymerase inhibitor (Compound A) or a NS3 protease inhibitor (Compound B). Short term treatment with Compound A was followed by the initial emergence of an HCV with a S282T polymerase mutation following treatment. Short term treatment with Compound B selected for HCV with a R155K or D168T protease mutation. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100234316 | Nucleoside Aryl Phosphoramidates for the Treatment of RNA-Dependent RNA Viral Infection - The present invention provides nucleoside aryl phosphoramidates of structural formula (I) which are precursors to inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral polymerase. These compounds are precursors to inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and are useful for the treatment of RNA-dependent RNA viral infection. They are particularly useful as precursors to inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, as precursors to inhibitors of HCV replication, and/or for the treatment of hepatitis C infection. The invention also describes pharmaceutical compositions containing such nucleoside aryl phosphoramidates alone or in combination with other agents active against RNA-dependent RNA viral infection, in particular HCV infection. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA viral replication, and/or treating RNA-dependent RNA viral infection with the nucleoside aryl phosphoramidates of the present invention. | 09-16-2010 |
