The present invention relates to a novel class of benzofuran analogues as NS4B inhibitors, specifically relates to a compound having a structure of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
HCV is one of the major human pathogens, it is estimated that there are about 0.17 billion chronic HCV infectors worldwide, which is 5 times the number of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 infectors. Chronic HCV infectors can develop into severe progressive liver diseases, including the liver cirrhosis and the hepatocellular carcinoma. Thus, the chronic HCV infection is the leading cause of death due to liver diseases in the world.
At present, the standard therapy of chronic HCV infection is through coadministration of α-interferon, ribavirin and a direct acting antiviral (DAA) drug, which is one of the drugs licensed in recent two years. Although the curative effect is significantly improved compared to the coadministration of α-interferon and ribavirin, the therapy is ineffective for some chronic HCV infectors and the virus can become drug resistance. In addition, α-interferon and ribavirin have obvious adverse reactions. Therefore, a novel and effective drug for chronic HCV infection treatment is urgently desirable.
HCV is a single-stranded RNA virus, which belongs to a separate genus of the flaviviridae family. All members in the flaviviridae family are enveloped virus particles containing the strand RNA genome, which encodes all known viral specific proteins through the translation of a single uninterrupted open-reading frame (ORF).
There are considerable heterogeneities among the nucleotides of the HCV genome and the encoded amino acid sequences. It has been identified that there are at least 6 major genotypes and more than 50 subtypes. The distribution of main HCV genotypes varies in the world. Despite of a large number of studies on the role of genotypes for the pathogenesis and treatment, the clinical importance of HCV genetic heterogeneity is still unclear.
The HCV RNA genome has about 9500 nucleotides, with a single open-reading frame, encoding a single polyprotein of about 3000 amino acids. In the infected cells, the polyprotein is cleaved by cellular proteases and viral proteases at multiple sites to provide the structural and non-structural (NS) protein. As far as HCV, the formation of mature non-structural protein (NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A and NS5B) was achieved by two kind of viral proteases. It is generally believed that the first kind (NS2) is a metal protease, cleaving at the NS2-NS3 junction site; the second protease is a serine protease contained in the N-terminal region of NS3 (also called the NS3 protease herein), which mediates all subsequent NS3 downstream cleavages, a cis-cleavage at the NS3-NS4A junction site, and trans-cleavages at the NS4A-NS4B, NS4B-NS5A and NS5A-NA5B junction sites. NS4A protein appears to have a variety of functions, for example, being a cofactor of NS3 protease and possibly assisting NS3 and other viral to replicate enzyme components to carry out the membrane localization. The NS3 protein also shows nucleoside triphosphatase and RNA helicase activities. The functions of the two proteins NS4B and NS5A are not completely clear, but they play an important role in the replication of HCV. NS4B is a transmembrane protein participating in the formation of virus replication complex. NS5A is a phosphorylated protein participating in viral RNA replication and viral particle formation. NS5B (also known as HCV polymerase) is a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase participating in RNA replication of HCV genome.
WO2013095275, WO2012122716, CN102863428A and etc. respectively reported a series of compounds as HCV inhibitors, whose effects in the aspects of activity, solubility and so on need to be further improved.

In general, preferably choose non-aqueous media such as ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol or acetonitrile and so on.
Except for the form of salt, there is a form of prodrug for the compound in the present invention. The prodrug of the compound described in the present invention is easily transformed to be the compound of the present invention via chemical changes under physiological conditions. Besides, the prodrug can be transformed to be the compound of the present invention via chemical or biochemical method in vivo environment.
Some compounds of the present invention can exist in the form of non-solvate or solvate forms, including hydrate forms. In general, the solvate form is similar to the non-solvate form, both of which are included within the scope of the present invention. Some compounds of the present invention can contain asymmetric carbon atoms (optical center) or double bonds. The racemic isomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers and single isomers are included within the scope of the present invention.
The diagrammatic representation of the racemic isomer, the ambiscalemic and scalemic or the enantiopure compound of the present invention is from Maehr, J. Chem. Ed. 1985, 62: 114-120. Unless otherwise indicated, the absolute configuration of a stereocenter is represented by the wedge and dashed lines. When the compound of the present invention contains a vinyl double bond or other geometric asymmetric center, unless otherwise specified, E, Z geometric isomers are included. Similarly, all tautomeric forms are included within the scope of the present invention.

The present invention envisages all of this class of compounds, including cis- and trans-isomers, (−)- and (+)-antimers, (R)- and (S)-antimers, diastereomers, (D)-isomer, (L)-isomer, as well as racemic mixtures and other mixtures, such as enantiomers- or diastereoisomers-enriched mixtures, all of these mixtures are within the scope of the present invention. Other asymmetric carbon atoms may exist in substituents such as in an alkyl. All of these isomers and their mixtures are included within the scope of the present invention.
Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers, (D)- and (L)-isomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. If an enantiomer of a compound of the present invention are wanted, asymmetric synthesis or derivatization action of the chiral auxiliaries can be employed in preparation, in which the resulting diastereomer mixtures are isolated, and the auxiliary groups are cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomer. Or, when a molecule contains an alkaline functional group (such as amino) or an acidic functional groups (such as carboxyl), a salt of diastereomer is formed with an appropriate optical active acid or alkali, and then the pure enantiomer can be recycled after resolution on the salt of diastereomer by common methods which is known in the art. In addition, the separation of an enantiomer and a diastereomer is usually realized by the chromatographic method, the chromatography method employs a chiral stationary phase, and optionally combined with the chemical derivatization method (e.g. an amine generates a carbamate).
One or more than one atoms constituting the compound of the present invention may comprise an unnatural proportion of atomic isotopes. For example, the compound can be labeled by a radioactive isotope, such as tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or C-14 (14C).

The term “a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to any formulation or carrier medium which is capable of delivering effective amount of the active substance disclosed in the present invention, does not interfere with the biological activity of the active substance, and is with no toxic side-effects on host or patient, representative carrier includes water, oil, vegetables and minerals, cream base, lotion matrix, ointment matrix etc. The matrix comprises a suspension, a viscosity increaser, transdermal enhancers etc. Their formulation are well known to the person in cosmetic or topical drug art. Other information about the carrier can refer to Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins (2005), the content of which is incorporated herein by its entirety.
The term “excipient” usually refers to a carrier, diluent and/or medium required for the preparation of an effective pharmaceutical composition.
In terms of drug or pharmacological active agent, the term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to enough quantity of the drug or formulation that can achieve desired effects but is with no toxicity. For the oral formulation of the present invention, “an effective amount” of one active substance in the composition is the amount required to achieve desired effects in combination with another active substance in the composition. The determination of the effective amount varies from person to person, which depends on the age and the general situation of the recipient, also on the specific active substance. In one case, an appropriate effective amount can be determined by the person skilled in the art according to conventional tests.
The term “active ingredient”, “therapeutic agent”, “active substance” or “active agent” refers to a chemical entity, which can effectively treat disorder, illness or disease of a target subject.
The term “substituted” refers to one or more hydrogen atoms in a specific atom optionally substituted by a substituent, including a deuterium and a variant of hydrogen, as long as the valence state of the specific atom is normal and the compound obtained after substitution is stable. When the substituent is a ketone group (i.e. ═O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are substituted. A substitution of ketone group does not occur in an aryl. The term “optionally substituted” means that it may be substituted or not be substituted, unless otherwise specified, the type and number of substituents can be arbitrary under the premise of stability available in chemistry.
When any parameter (e.g. R) shows an occurrence for more than one times in the composition or structure of the compound, the definition of each occurrence is independent. Therefore, for example, if a group is substituted by 0-2 of R, the group may optionally be substituted by at most two R, and R has an independent option in each case. In addition, the combination of substituents and/or their variants is allowed only if such a combination will lead to a stable compound.
When the number of the connection group is 0, such as —(CRR)0—, it indicates that the connection group is a single bond.
When one of the parameters is selected from a single bond, it indicates that the two groups which it is attached are directly connected, for example, when the L in A-L-Z represents a single bond, it indicates that the structure actually is A-Z.
When one bond of a substituent can be crossly connected to two atoms of a ring, the substituent can be bonded to arbitrary atoms in the ring. When the listed substituent does not specify through which atom it is connected to the general structure formula including the compound that is not specifically mentioned, the substituent can be bonded through any of its atoms. The combination of substituents and/or their variants is allowed only if such a combination will lead to a stable compound. For example, the structural unit
represents that the connection can occur on any atom in the cyclohexyl or cyclohexadiene.

Unless otherwise specified, the “ring” refers to substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl, heterocycloalkynyl, aryl or heteroaryl. The ring includes a single ring, a joint ring, a spiro ring, a fused ring or a bridged ring. A number of the atoms in the ring is usually defined as the member of the ring, for example, “5- to 7-membered ring” is a ring looped with 5 to 7 atoms. Unless otherwise specified, the ring optionally contains 1-3 of heteroatoms. Therefore, “5- to 7-membered ring” includes, for example, phenyl pyridine and piperidinyl; on the other hand, the term “5- to 7-membered heterocycloalkyl ring” includes pyridyl and piperidinyl, but does not include phenyl. The term “ring” also includes a ring system containing at least one ring, wherein each ring is of the above definition independently.
Unless otherwise specified, the term “heterocycle” or “heterocyclyl” refers to a stable monocyclic, bicyclic or tricyclic ring containing a heteroatom and a heteroatomic group, they can be saturated, partially unsaturated or unsaturated (aromatic), they contain carbon atoms and 1, 2, 3 or 4 of heteroatom in the ring which is independently selected from the group consisting of N, O and S, wherein any of the heterocycle can be fused to a benzene ring to form a bicyclic ring. Nitrogen and sulfur atoms can be optionally oxidized (i.e., NO and S(O)p, p is 1 or 2). The nitrogen atom can be substituted or unsubstituted (i.e. N or NR, wherein R is H or other substituent that has been defined herein). The heterocycle can be attached to the side group of any heteroatom or carbon atom to form a stable structure. If the formed compound is stable, the heterocycle described herein can be substituted on its carbon or nitrogen atom. The nitrogen atom in the heterocycle is optionally quaternized. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the total number of S and O atoms contained in the heterocycle exceeds 1, these heteroatoms are not adjacent to each other. As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocycle is no more than 1. As used herein, the term “aromatic heterocyclic group” or “heteroaryl” refers to a stable 5-, 6-, 7-membered monocycle or bicycle or 7-, 8-, 9- or 10-membered bicyclic heteroaromatic ring, which contains carbon atoms and 1, 2, 3 or 4 of heteroatom in the ring which independently selected from the group consisting of N, O and S. The nitrogen atom can be substituted or unsubstituted (i.e. N or NR, wherein R is H or other substituent that has been defined herein). Nitrogen and sulfur atoms can be optionally oxidized (i.e., NO and S(O)p, p is 1 or 2). It is worth noting that, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaromatic ring is no more than 1. Bridged rings are also included in the definition of the heterocycle. When one or more atoms (i.e. C, O, N, or S) are connected to two nonadjacent carbon atoms or nitrogen atoms, a bridged ring is formed.

Experimental Objective:
The EC50 and CC50 values of anti-HCV compounds were determined by HCV genotype 1a (HCV-1a) and 1b (HCV-1b) stable transfected replication (replicon) cells. The source of genotype 1a replicon is H77 clones containing K1691R, K2040R and S2204I adaptive mutations. The source of genotype 1b replicon is Con1 clones containing E1202G, T1280I and K1846T adaptive mutations.
Background Introduction:
