The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects an estimated 200 million people worldwide including<br />

approximately 4 million people in the U.S. and is the leading cause for liver transplantation. The<br />

current standard <strong>of</strong> care for HCV infection is treatment with pegylated interferon alpha in<br />

combination with ribavirin, however, this regimen results in limited efficacy and significant side<br />

effects. Efforts toward improved HCV treatment include the development <strong>of</strong> direct antiviral<br />

agents which inhibit key steps in the viral replication process. One such target is the HCV<br />

NS3/4A protease.<br />

Our interest has been in identifying novel HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors with good enzyme<br />

potency, cellular activity and liver exposure. Toward this goal, initial targets were designed using<br />

molecular modeling. The development and optimization <strong>of</strong> lead compounds along with the<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> clinical candidate MK-7009 will be presented.<br />
