Novel HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitors derived from 4-(1′,1′-dioxo-1′,4′-dihydro-1′λ6-benzo[1′,2′,4′]thiadiazin-3′-yl)-5-hydroxy-2H-pyridazin-3-ones. Part 1: Exploration of 7′-substitution of benzothiadiazine

Abstract: 5-Hydroxy-3(2H)-pyridazinone derivatives were investigated as inhibitors of genotype 1 HCV NS5B polymerase. The synthesis, structure–activity relationships (SAR), metabolic stability, and structure-based design approach for this new class of compounds are discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
