N-(3,3a,4,4a,5,5a,6,6a-Octahydro-1,3-dioxo-4,6- ethenocycloprop[f]isoindol-2-(1H)-yl)carboxamides: Identification of Novel Orthopoxvirus Egress Inhibitors
文摘
A series of novel, potent orthopoxvirus egress inhibitors wasidentified during high-throughput screening of the ViroPharma smallmolecule collection. Using structure-activity relationship informationinferred from early hits, several compounds were synthesized, andcompound 14 was identified as a potent, orally bioavailable first-in-class inhibitor of orthopoxvirus egress from infected cells. Compound14 has shown comparable efficaciousness in three murine orthopoxvirusmodels and has entered Phase I clinical trials.
