The discovery of a pan-genotypic, primer grip inhibitor of HCV NS5B polymerase

Abstract: The development of a series of novel 7-azabenzofurans exhibiting pan-genotype inhibition of HCV NS5B polymerase binding to the primer grip site is presented. Many challenges, including poor oral bioavailability, high clearance, bioactivation, high human serum shift, and metabolic stability were encountered and overcome through SAR studies. This work culminated in the selection of BMS-986139 () as a preclinical candidate.

“…In 2014, BMS scientists reported a class of tetrasubstituted 7‐azabenzofurans ( 1 , Scheme ) exhibiting pan‐genotype inhibition of HCV NS5B polymerase . The preparation of this series of compounds, exemplified by compound 5 , a potent HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitor, is shown in Scheme . The caveat in this synthesis lies in the construction of the 7‐azabenzofuran core and the attachment of the four substituents.…”

“…Finally, deprotonation and rearomatization provide the target products, 336 . Our group applied this method to the efficient synthesis of the potent HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitor, 341 (Scheme 101), [134] providing six times greater total yield than that obtained through the original synthesis developed by BMS scientists, [135] who used Pd‐catalyzed cyclization to construct the 7‐azabenzofuran core.…”

“…Over the last decade, rapid progress has been made in cell culture‐based HCV models, and high resolution structural biology of various therapeutically important HCV‐encoded proteins . This has made it possible to investigate the molecular basis of HCV infection as well as host responses, and in doing so accelerated the pace of target‐oriented drug development against HCV.…”
