RO8191 represents a newly discovered small-molecule IFN-like agent that displays potent anti-HCV activity. With it as lead, a series of compounds bearing an imidazo[1,2-α][1,8]naphthyridine core and an amide bond-linked side chain were designed and synthesized. These compounds were evaluated on HCV cell culture system (HCVcc-hRluc-JFH1), and some of them exhibited remarkable anti-HCV activity (EC50 = 0.017-0.159 μM) and low toxicity (CC50 > 25 μM). Moreover, it was revealed that these newly iden ...[more]
