Abstract

The structure-based approaches were implemented to design and rationally select the molecules for synthesis and anti-HCV activity evaluation. The systematic structure–activity relationships of previously discovered molecules (types I, II, III) were analyzed to design new molecules (type IV) by bioisosteric replacement of the amino group. The ligand conformation, binding mode studies and drug like properties were major determinant for ...
