Aryl-substituted aminobenzimidazoles targeting the hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site

Abstract: We describe the exploration of N1-aryl-substituted benzimidazoles as ligands for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) RNA. The design of the compounds was guided by the co-crystal structure of a benzimidazole viral translation inhibitor in complex with the RNA target. Structure-binding activity relationships of aryl-substituted benzimidazole ligands were established that were consistent with the crystal structure of the translation inhibitor complex.

“…The IRES subdomain IIa switch has been exploited as a therapeutic target to selectively suppress viral translation with synthetic inhibitors that capture specific conformations of the RNA (5,7,(9)(10)(11)(12). High levels of conservation in HCV clinical isolates and the presence of a deep solvent-excluded ligand binding pocket render the IIa RNA switch a target for the development of antiviral drugs.…”

“…1,2 N1-aryl-benzimidazole analogues have shown a variety of biological activities such as antihistaminic, anti-HIV, anti hepatitis C to name a few. [3][4][5] Literature survey has revealed that N1-aryl-benzimidazole analogues have significant potential as HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Molecular modeling study is an approach that is used to focus on the development of optimal models through variable selection and statistical methods to taper down to highly effective New Chemical Entities (NCE's).…”
