ABSTRACT BMS-433771 was found to be a potent inhibitor of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) replication in vitro. It exhibited excellent potency against multiple laboratory and clinical isolates both group A B viruses, with an average 50% effective concentration 20 nM. Mechanism-of-action studies demonstrated that inhibits the fusion lipid membranes during early entry stage late-stage syncytium formation. After isolation resistant resistance mapped series single amino acid mutations F1...
The discovery of BMS-605339 (35), a tripeptidic inhibitor the NS3/4A enzyme, is described. This compound incorporates cyclopropylacylsulfonamide moiety that was designed to improve potency carboxylic acid prototypes through introduction favorable nonbonding interactions within S1′ site protease. identification 35 enabled optimization and balance critical properties including pharmacokinetics (PK). achieved modulation P2* subsite which identified isoquinoline ring system as key template for...

A library of compounds were prepared by reacting 2-(bromomethyl)-1, 2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide (5) with commercially available carboxylic acids in the presence potassium carbonate or a tertiary amine base. From this library, (1,1-dioxido-3-oxo-1, 2-benzisothiazol-2(3H)-yl)methyl N-[(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]-beta-alanate (7b) emerged as potent inhibitor human mast cell tryptase (IC50 = 0.85 microM).
