The present study reports the synthesis and characterization of novel molecules inhibiting the spread of hepatitis C. The molecules were designed as to block the NS3/4A protease enzyme on HCV RNA. The molecules were synthesized using usual peptide synthesis techniques. Compounds with purity more than 95% were characterized and docking studies were also performed. All the compounds were characterized using physico-chemical techniques such as determination of melting point by DSC and NMR, mass, IR spectral studies. The docking studies were also conducted to assess the activity of molecules for inhibition of hepatitis C virus.

Noroviruses are the most common cause of acute viral gastroenteritis, accounting for >21 million cases annually in the US alone. Norovirus infections constitute an important health problem for which there are no specific antiviral therapeutics or vaccines. In this study, a series of bisulfite adducts derived from representative transition state inhibitors (dipeptidyl aldehydes and α-ketoamides) was synthesized and shown to exhibit anti-norovirus activity in a cell-based replicon system. The ED 50 of the most effective inhibitor was 60 nM. This study demonstrates for the first time the utilization of bisulfite adducts of transition state inhibitors in the inhibition of norovirus 3C-like protease in vitro and in a cell-based replicon system. The approach described herein can be extended to the synthesis of the bisulfite adducts of other classes of transition state inhibitors of serine and cysteine proteases, such as α-ketoheterocycles and α-ketoesters.

A number of non-proteinogenic amino acids bearing aliphatic side chains were resolved with moderate to good enantioselectivities (E = 15-42) through the Burkholderia cepacia lipase-catalyzed enantioselective transesterification of the 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl esters of their N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives with methanol as a nucleophile in diisopropyl ether.
