Among the enzymes involved in the life cycle of HCV, the non-structural protein NS3, with its double function of protease and NTPase/helicase, is essential for the virus replication. Exploiting our previous knowledge in the development of nucleotide-mimicking NS3 helicase (NS3h) inhibitors endowed with key structural and electronic features necessary for an optimal ligand-enzyme interaction, we developed the tetrahydroacridinyl derivative 3a as the most potent NS3h competitive inhibitor reported to date (HCV NS3h K(i) = 20 nM).
