Abstract

In an attempt to identify potential HCV NS3 protease inhibitors lead compounds, a series of novel indoles (10a–g) was designed. Molecular modeling study, including fitting to a 3D- pharmacophore model of the designed molecules (10a–g), with HCV NS3 protease hypothesis using catalyst program was fulfilled. Also, the molecular docking into the NS3 active site was examined using Discovery Studio 2.5 software. Several compounds ...
