The majority of FDA approved HCV therapeutics target the viral replicative machinery. An automated high-throughput phenotypic screen identified several small molecules as potent inhibitors of hepatitis C virus replication. Here, we disclose the discovery and optimization of a 4-aminopiperidine (4AP) scaffold targeting the assembly stages of the HCV life cycle. The original screening hit (1) demonstrates efficacy in the HCVcc assay, but does not show potency prior to or during viral replication. Colocalization and infectivity studies indicate that the 4AP chemotype inhibits the assembly and release of infectious HCV. Compound 1 acts synergistically with FDA approved direct acting anti-viral compounds Telaprevir and Daclatasvir, as well as broad spectrum anti-virals Ribavirin and cyclosporin A. Following an SAR campaign, several derivatives of the 4AP series have been identified with increased potency against HCV, reduced in vitro toxicity, as well as improved in vitro and in vivo ADME properties.
