摘要
The difluoromethyl group was designed by computational chemistry methods as a mimetic of the canonical P-1 cysteine thiol for inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus NS3 protease. This modification led to the development of competitive, non-covalent inhibitor 4 (K-i 30 nM) and reversible covalent inhibitors (6, K-i 0.5 nM; and 8 K-i* 10 pM). (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
