New classes of drugs are needed to combat hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important worldwide cause of liver disease. We describe an activity of a key domain, an amphipathic helix we termed 4BAH2, within a specific HCV nonstructural protein, NS4B. In addition to its proposed role in viral replication, we validate 4BAH2 as essential for HCV genome replication, and identify first generation small molecule inhibitors of 4BAH2 that specifically prevent HCV replication within cells. Detailed mechanistic studies reveal that the inhibitors target 4BAH2 function by either preventing 4BAH2 oligomerization or 4BAH2 membrane association. 4BAH2 inhibitors represent an exciting, additional class of compounds that has potential to effectively treat HCV.
