Discovery of proline sulfonamides as potent and selective hepatitis C virus NS5b polymerase inhibitors. Evidence for a new NS5b polymerase binding site

TLDR
Through high throughput screening, substituted proline sulfonamide 6 was identified as HCV NS5b RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor and optimization of various regions of the lead molecule resulted in compounds that displayed good potency and selectivity.
Abstract
Through high throughput screening, substituted proline sulfonamide 6 was identified as HCV NS5b RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor. Optimization of various regions of the lead molecule resulted in compounds that displayed good potency and selectivity. The crystal structure of 6 and NS5b polymerase complex confirmed the binding near the active site region. The optimization approach and SAR are discussed in detail.
