FIELD The present invention relates to compounds effective in inhibiting replication of Hepatitis C virus ("HCV"). The present invention also relates to compositions comprising these compounds and methods of using these compounds to treat HCV infection. 10 BACKGROUND HCV is an RNA virus belonging to the Hepacivirus genus in the Flaviviridae family. The enveloped HCV virion contains a positive stranded RNA genome encoding alllaown virus-specific proteins in a single, uninterrpted, open reading frame. The open reading frame comprises approximately 9500 nucleotides and encodes a single large 15 polyprotein of about 3000 amino acids. The polyprotein comprises a core protein, envelope proteins El and E2, a membrane bound protein p7, and the non-structural proteins NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A and NS5B. HCV infection is associated with progressive liver pathology, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Chronic hepatitis C may be treated with peginterferon 20 alpha in combination with ribavirin. Substantial limitations to efficacy and tolerability remain as many users suffer from side effects, and viral elimination from the body is often inadequate. Therefore, there is a need for new drugs to treat HCV infection.

Depending on the 15 particular compound, a salt of a compound may be advantageous due to one or more of the salt's physical properties, such as enhanced pharmaceutical stability under certain conditions or desired solubility in water or oil. In some instances, a salt of a compound may be useful for the isolation or purification of the compound. Where a salt is intended to be administered to a patient, the salt preferably is pharmaceutically 20 acceptable. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, acid addition salts, base addition salts, and alkali metal salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts may be prepared frotn inorganic or organic acids. Examples of suitable inorganic acids include, but are not limited to, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroionic, nitric, carbonic, sulfuric, and phosphoric acid. Examples of suitable 25 organic acids include, but are not limited to, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic, heterocyclyl, carboxylic, and sulfonic classes of organic acids. Specific examples of suitable organic acids include acetate, trifluoroacetate, formate, propionate, succinate, glycolate, gluconate, digluconate, lactate, malate, tartaric acid, citrate, ascorbate, glucuronate, maleate, fumarate, pyruvate, aspartate, glutamnate, benzoate, anthranilic acid, mesylate, stearate, salicylate, p-hydroxybenzoate, 30 phenylacetate, mandelate, embonate (panoate), nethanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, pantothenate, toluenesulfonate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, sufanilate, cyclohexylaminosulfonate, algenic acid, b-hydroxybutyric acid, galactarate, galacturonate, adipate, alginate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentancpropionatc, dodecylsulfac, glycoheptanoatc, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalesulfonate, oxalate, 35 palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, thiocyanate, tosylate, and undecanoate. 61 Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include, but are not limited to, metallic salts and organic salts. Non-limiting examples of suitable metallic salts include alkali metal (group [a) salts, alkaline earth metal (group Ila) salts, and other pharmaceutically acceptable metal salts. Such salts may be made, without limitation, from aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, 5 sodium, or zinc. Non-limiting examples of suitable organic salts can be made from tertiary amnines and quatenhary amine, such as tromethamine, diethylamine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine (N-methylglucamine), and procaine. Basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized with agents such as alkyl halides (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, decyl, lauryl, myristyl, and stearyl chlorides/bromides/iodides), dialkyl 10 sulfates (e.g., dimethyl, diethyl, dibuyll, and diatmyl sulfates), aralkyl halides (e.g., benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others. The compounds or salts of the present invention may exist in the form of solvates, such as with water (i.e., hydrates), or with organic solvents (e.g., with methanol, ethanol or acetonitrile to form, respectively, methanolate, ethanolate or acetonitrilate). 15 The compounds or salts of the present invention may also be used in the form of prodrugs. Some prodrugs are aliphatic or aromatic esters derived from acidic groups ont the compounds of the invention. Others are aliphatic or aromatic esters of hydroxyl or amino groups on the compounds of the invention. Phosphate prodrugs of hydroxyl groups are preferred prodrugs. The compounds of the invention may comprise asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms 20 known as chiral centers. These compounds may exist, without limitation, as single stereoisomers (e.g., single etantioners or single diastereomer), mixtures of stereoisomers (e.g. a mixture of enantiomers or diastereomers), or racemic mixtures. Compounds identified herein as single stereoisoners are meant to describe compounds that are present in a form that is substantially free from other stereoisomers (e.g., substantially free from other enantiomers or diastereomers). By 25 "substantially free," it means that at least 80% of the compound in a composition is the described stereoisomner; preferably, at least 90% of the compound in a composition is the described stereoisoner; and more preferably, at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% of the compound in a composition is the described stereoisomer. Where the stereochemistry of a chiral carbon is not specified in the chemical structure of a compound, the chemical structure is intended to encompass 30 compounds containing either stereoisoner of the chiral center. Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of this invention can be prepared using a variety of methods known in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, stereospecific synthesis, chromatographic separation of diastercomers, chromatographic resolution of enantiomners, conversion of enantiomers in an enantiomeric mixture to diastereomers followed by chromatographically 35 separation of the diastereomers and regeneration of the individual enantiomers, and enzymatic resolution. 62 Stereospecific synthesis typically involves the use of appropriate optically pure (enantiomerically pure) or substantial optically pure materials and synthetic reactions that do not cause racemization or inversion of stereochemistry at the chiral centers. Mixtures of stercoisomers of compounds, including racemic mixtures, resulting from a synthetic reaction may be separated, for 5 example, by chromatographic techniques as appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art. Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers can be accomplished by using chiral chromatography resins, many of which are commercially available. In a non-limiting example, racemate is placed in solution and loaded onto the column containing a chiral stationary phase. Enantiomers can then be separated by H PLC. 10 Resolution of enantioners can also be accomplished by converting enantiomers in a mixture to diastereoiners by reaction with chiral auxiliaries. The resulting diastereomners can be separated by column chromatography or crystallization/re-crystallization. This technique is useful when the compounds to be separated contain a carboxyl, amino or hydroxyl group that will forn a salt or covalent bond with the chiral auxiliary. Non-limiting examples of suitable chiral auxiliaries include 15 chirally pure amino acids, organic carboxylic acids or organosulfonic acids. Once the diastereomers are separated by chromatography, the individual enantiomers can be regenerated. Frequently, the chiral auxiliary can be recovered and used again. Enzymes, such as esterases, phosphatases or lipases, can be useful for the resolution of derivatives of enantiomers in an enantiomeric mixture. For example, an ester derivative of a carboxyl 20 group in the compounds to be separated can be treated with an enzyme which selectively hydrolyzes only one of the enantiomers in the mixture. The resulting enantiomerically pure acid can then be separated from the unhydrolyzed ester. Alternatively, salts of enantiolers in a mixture can be prepared using any suitable method known in the art, including treatment of the carboxylic acid with a suitable optically pure base such as 25 alkaloids or phenethylainine, followed by precipitation or crystallizalion/re-crystallization of the enantioierically pure salts. Methods suitable for the resolution/separation of a mixture of stereoisoners, including racemic mixtures, can be found in ENANTIOMERs, RACEMATES, AND RESOLUTIONS (Jacques et al., 1981, John Wiley and Sons, New York, NY). A compound of this invention may possess one or more unsaturated carbon-carbon double 30 bonds. All double bond isomers, such as the cis (Z) and trans (E) isomers, and mixtures thereof are intended to be encompassed within the scope of a recited compound unless otherwise specified. In addition, where a compound exists in various tautomeric forms, a recited compound is not limited to any one specific tautomer, but rather is intended to encompass all tauloneric forms. Certain compounds of the invention may exist in different stable conformational forms which 35 may be separable. Torsional asymmetry due to restricted rotations about an asymmetric single bond, 63 for example because of steric hindrance or ring strain, may permit separation of different conformers. The invention encompasses each conlormational isomer of these compounds and mixtures thereof. Certain compounds of the invention may also exist in zwilterionic form and the invention encompasses each zwitterionic form of these compounds and mixtures thereof. 5 The compounds of the present invention are generally described herein using standard nomenclature. For a recited compound having asymmetric center(s), it should be understood that all of the stereoisomers of the compound and mixtures thereof are encompassed in the present invention unless otherwise specified. Non-limiting examples of stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, and cis-transisomers. Where a recited compound exists in various tautomeric forms, 10 the compound is intended to encompass all tautomeric forms. Certain compounds are described herein using general formulas that include variables (e.g., A, B, D, X, LI, L 2 , L 3 , Y, Z, T, RA or RB,). Unless otherwise specified, each variable within such a formula is defined independently of any other variable, and any variable that occurs more than one time in a formula is defined independently at each occurrence. If moieties are described as being "independently" selected from a group, each 15 moiety is selected independently from the other. Each moiety therefore can be identical to or different from the other moiety or moieties. The number of carbon atoms in a hydrocarbyl moiety can be indicated by the prefix "C,-Cy," where x is the minimum and y is the maximum number of carbon atoms in the moiety. Thus, for example, "C-C 6 alkyl" refers to an alkyl substituent containing from I to 6 carbon atoms. Illustrating 20 further, C 3
-C
6 cycloalkyl tmcans a saturated hydrocarbyl ring containing from 3 to 6 carbon ring atoms. A prefix attached to a multiple-component substituent only applies to the first component that immediately follows the prefix. To illustrate, the term "carbocyclylalkyl" contains two components: carbocyclyl and alkyl. Thus, for example, C-CccarbocyclylCr.Calkyl refers to a C 3 -Ccarbocyclyl appended to the parent molecular moiety through a C-Cralkyl group. 25 Unless otherwise specified, when a linking element links two other elements in a depicted chemical structure, the leftmost-described component of the linking element is bound to the left element in the depicted structure, and the rightmnost-described component of the linking element is bound to the right element in the depicted structure. To illustrate, if the chemical structure is -Ls-M Ls'- and M is -N(RB)S(O)-, then the chemical structure is -Ls-N(RB)S(O)-Ls' 30 If a linking element in a depicted structure is a bond, then the element left to the linking element is joined directly to the element right to the linking element via a covalent bond. For example, if a chemical structure is depicted as -L.,s-M-Ls'- and M is selected as bond, then the chemical structure will be -Ls-Ls'-. If two or more adjacent linking elements in a depicted structure are bonds, then the element left to these linking elements is joined directly to the element right to 35 these linking elements via a covalent bond. For instance, if a chemical structure is depicted as -Ls M-Ls'-M'-Ls"-, and M and Ls' are selected as bonds, then the chetnical structure will be -Ls-M' 64 Ls"--. Likewise, if a chemical structure is depicted as -L.-M-Ls'-M'-Ls"-, and M, Ls' and M' are bonds, then the chemical structure will be -Ls-L. When a chemical formula is used to describe a moiety, the dash(s) indicates the portion of the moiety that has the free valence(s). 5 If a moiety is described as being "optionally substituted", the moiety may be either substituted or unsubstituted. If a moiety is described as being optionally substituted with up to a particular number of non-hydrogen radicals, that moiety may be either unsubstituted, or substituted by up to that particular number of non-hydrogen radicals or by up to the maximum number of substitutable positions on the moiety, whichever is less. Thus, for example, if a moiety is described as a 10 heterocycle optionally substituted with up to three non-hydrogen radicals, then any heterocycle with less than three substitutable positions will be optionally substituted by up to only as many non hydrogen radicals as the heterocycle has substitutable positions. To illustrate, tetrazolyl (which has only one substitutable position) will be optionally substituted with up to one non-hydrogen radical. To illustrate further, if an amino nitrogen is described as being optionally substituted with up to two 15 non-hydrogen radicals, then a primary amino nitrogen will be optionally substituted with up to two non-hydrogen radicals, whereas a secondary amino nitrogen will be optionally substituted with up to only one non-hydrogen radical.

2 (82) (83) (84) Scheme XXV 15 In the foregoing Schemes, compounds are shown wherein an aromatic ring (e.g., phenyl) is substituted with groups in a particular regiochemistry (e.g., para). A starting material or intermediate with para-substitution provides a final product with para-substitution in the foregoing Schemes. It is understood by one of skill in the art that substitution in the foregoing Schemes of a starting material or intermediate with a different regiochemistry (e.g., meta) would provide a final product with a different 20 regiocheistry. For example, replacement of a para-substituted starting material or intermediate in the foregoing Schemes with a meta substituted starting material or intermediate would lead to a meta substituted product. If a moiety described herein (e.g., -NH 2 or -01-) is not compatible with the synthetic methods, the moiety may be protected with a suitable protecting group that is stable to the reaction 25 conditions used in the methods. The protecting group may be removed at a suitable point in the reaction sequence to provide a desired intermediate or target compound. Suitable protecting groups and methods for protecting or deprotecting moieties are well know in the art, examples of which can be found in Greene and Wuts, supra. Optimum reaction conditions and reaction times for each individual step may vary depending on the particular reactants employed and substituents present in 30 the reactants used. Solvents, temperatures and other reaction conditions may be readily selected by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the present invention. 92 Other compounds of the invention can be similarly prepared according to the above-described schemes as well as the procedures described in following examples, as appreciated by those skilled in the art.

Tlhe luciferase reporter gene is 5 placed under the translational control of the poliovirus IRES instead of the HICV IR ES, and HuH-7 cells are used to support the replication of the replicon. The inhibitory activities of the compounds of the present invention can be evaluated using a variety of assays known in the art. For instance, two stable subgenomic replicon cell lines cun he used for compound characterization in cell culture: one derived from genotype la-H-77 and the other 10 derived from genotype I b-Conti, obtained from University of Texas Medical Branch, Galv'eston, TX or Apath, LLC, St. Louis, MO, respectively. TLhe replicon constructs can be bicistronic subgenomic replicons. Tlhe genotype l a replicon construct contains NS3-NS5B coding region derived from the H77 strain of H-CV (la-H77). T'he replicon also has a firefly luciferase reporter and a neomycin phosphotransferase (Neo) selectable marker. 'These two coding regions, separated by the FMDV 2a 15 protease, comprise the first cistron of the bicistronic replicon construct, with the second cistron containing the NS3-NS5B coding region with addition of adaptive mutations E1202G, K1691R, K2040R and S22041. T'he l b-Conl replicon construct is identical to the la-H-77 replicon, except that the IHCV 5' UTR, 3' UTR, and NS3-NS5B coding region are derived from the lb-Con I strain, and the adaptive mutations are K1609E, K1846T and Y3005C. In addition, the tb-Conl replicon 20 construct contains a poliovirus IRES between the H-CV IRES and the luciferase gene. Replicon cell lines can be maintained in D~ulbecco's modified Eagles medium (D)MEM) containing 10% (v/v) fetal 403 HN- '1 bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/mIl penicillin, 100 ing/ml streptomycin (Invitrogen), and 200 mg/mIl G418 (Invitrogen). The inhibitory effects of the compounds of the invention on HCV replication can be determined by measuring activity of the luciferase reporter gene. For example, replicon-containing 5 cells can be seeded into 96 well plates at a density of 5000 cells per well in 100 tl DMEM containing 5% FBS. The following day compounds can be diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to generate a 200x stock in a series of eight half-log dilutions. The dilution series can then be further diluted 100-fold in the medium containing 5% FBS. Medium with the inhibitor is added to the overnight cell culture plates already containing 100 VI of DMEM with 5% HBS. In assays measuring inhibitory 10 activity in the presence of human plasma, the medium from the overnight cell culture plates can be replaced with DMEM containing 40% human plasma and 5% FBS. The cells can be incubated for three days in the tissue culture incubators after which time 30 pl of Passive Lysis buffer (Promega) can be added to each well, and then the plates are incubated for 15 minutes with rocking to lyse the cells. Luciferin solution (100 pl, Promega) can be added to each well, and luciferase activity can be 15 measured with a Victor II luminometer (Perkin-Elmer). The percent inhibition of HCV RNA replication can be calculated for each compound concentration and the EC ., value can be calculated using nionlinear regression curve fitting to the 4-parameter logistic equation and Graphl'ad Prism 4 software.
