Abstract:
Hepatitis B virus(HBV)-infected hepatitis is one of the most common infectious disease worldwide. To find novel effective anti-HBV agents, a series of
Matijin-Su(MTS)derivatives with aromatic heterocycles were synthesized and evaluated for their anti- HBV activities in HepG2 2. 2. 15 cells. Among them, compounds
7a( IC
50=2. 94 μmol/L)and
9a( IC
50=2. 21 μmol/L)exhibited more potent inhibitory activity against the replication of HBV DNA in HepG2 2. 2. 15 cells than that of lead compound MTS(IC
50=11. 16 μmol/L). Notably, both
7a and
9a displayed a high selective index(SI)of 146. 39 and > 250, respectively, which were also much higher than that of MTS(SI=10. 78). Therefore, compounds
7a and
9a may be promising anti-HBV agents with safety profile for HBV infection.
