Abstract
Results from our group showed benzyl salicylate to be a moderate inhibitor of the CD81-LEL–HCV-E2 interaction. To increase the biological activity, heterocyclic substituted benzoic acids were coupled to amino acid esters via microwave assisted DCC-reaction. The prepared compounds were tested for their inhibitory potency by means of a fluorescence labeled antibody assay system using HUH7.5 cells.
Keywords: Hepatitis C virus, microwave assisted amide syntheses, CD81-receptor, large extracellular loop, benzyl salicylate, protein-protein interaction.
