Résumé
Current hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapies may cure approximately 60% of infections. They are often contraindicated or poorly tolerated, underscoring the need for safer and more effective drugs. A novel, alpha-ketoamide-derived, substrate-based inhibitor of the HCV serine protease (SCH446211) was developed. Compared with earlier reported inhibitors of similar chemical class, it has a P1'-P2' extension which provides extended interaction with the protease active site. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antiviral activity of SCH446211. Binding constant of SCH446211 to HCV NS3 protease was measured with the chromogenic substrate in vitro cleavage assay. Cell-based activity of SCH446211 was evaluated in replicon cells, which are Huh-7 hepatoma cells stably transfected with a subgenomic HCV RNA as reported previously. After 72 h of incubation with SCH446211, viral transcription and protein expression were measured by real-time RT-PCR (TaqMan), quantitative in situ hybridization, immunoblot and indirect immunofluorescence. The binding constant of SCH446211 to HCV NS3 protease was 3.8 +/- 0.4 nM. HCV replication and protein expression were inhibited by SCH446211 in replicon cells as consistently shown by four techniques. In particular, based on quantitative real-time RT-PCR measurements, the IC50 and IC90 of SCH446211 were estimated to be 40 +/- 20 and 100 +/- 20 nM (n = 17), respectively. Long-term culture of replicon cells with SCH446211 reduced replicon RNA to
