Abstract: We report a new series of hepatitis C virus NS5B RNA polymerase inhibitors containing a conformationally constrained tetracyclic scaffold. SAR studies led to the identification of 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[5,6][1,4]diazepino[7,1-a]indoles (19 and 20) bearing a basic pendent group with high biochemical and cellular potencies. These compounds displayed a very small shift in cellular potency when the replicon assay was performed in the presence of human serum albumin.
