Abstract
A series of 1-cycloalkyl-2-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). A SAR study was performed and led to identify the 2-[(4-diarylmethoxy)phenyl]-benzimidazoles as potent inhibitors. They inhibit subgenomic HCV RNA replication in the replicon cells at low micromolar concentrations (EC(50) as low as 1.1microM). They are selective against DNA polymerases (IC(50)>10microM) and exhibit low cytotoxicity.Entities:
