FIELD The present invention relates to compounds effective in inhibiting replication of Hepatitis C 10 virus ("HCV"). The present invention also relates to compositions comprising these compounds and methods of using these compounds to treat HCV infection. BACKGROUND lICV is an RNA virus belonging to the lHepacivirus genus in the laviviridae family. The 15 enveloped HCV virion contains a positive stranded RNA genome encoding all known virus-specific proteins in a single, uninterrupted, open reading frame. The open reading frame comprises approximately 9500 nucleotidcs and encodes a single large polyprotein of about 3000 amino acids. The polyprotein comprises a core protein, envelope proteins El and E2, a membrane bound protein p7, and the non-structural proteins NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A and NS5B. 20 HCV infection is associated with progressive liver pathology, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Chronic hepatitis C may be treated with peginterferon-alpha in combination with ribavirin. Substantial limitations to efficacy and tolerability remain as many users suffer from side effects, and viral elimination from the body is often inadequate. Therefore, there is a need for new drugs to treat HCV infection. 25 SUMMARY The present invention features compounds of Formulae I, 'A, 11, Ic and ID, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. These compounds and salts can inhibit the replication of HCV and therefore are useful for treating HCV infection. 30 The present invention also features compositions comprising the compounds or salts of the present invention. The compositions can also include additional therapeutic agents, such as HCV helicase inhibitors, HCV polymerase inhibitors, HCV protease inhibitors, HCV NS5A inhibitors, CD81 inhibitors, cyclophilin inhibitors, or internal ribosome entry site (IRES) inhibitors. The present invention further features methods of using the compounds or salts of the present 35 invention to inhibit HCV replication. The methods comprise contacting cells infected with HCV virus with a compound or salt of the present invention, thereby inhibiting the replication of HCV virus in the cells. In addition, the present invention features methods of using the compounds or salts of the present invention, or compositions comprising the same, to treat HCV infection. The methods 5 comprise administering a compound or salt of the present invention, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, to a patient in need thereof, thereby reducing the blood or tissue level of HCV virus in the patient. The present invention also features use of the compounds or salts of the present invention for the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of HCV infection. 10 Furthermore, the present invention features processes of making fhe compounds or salts of the invention. Other features, objects, and advantages of the present invention are apparent in the detailed description that follows. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, not 15 limitation. Various changes and modifications within the scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the detailed description.

Depending on the 15 particular compound, a salt of a compound may be advantageous due to one or more of the salt's physical properties, such as enhanced pharmaceutical stability under certain conditions or desired solubility in water or oil. In some instances, a salt of a compound may be useful for the isolation or purification of the compound. Where a salt is intended to be administered to a patient, the salt preferably is pharmaceutically 20 acceptable. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, acid addition salts, base addition salts, and alkali metal salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts may be prepared from inorganic or organic acids. Examples of suitable inorganic acids include, but are not limited to, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroponic, nitric, carbonic, sulfuric, and phosphoric acid. Examples of suitable 25 organic acids include, but are not limited to, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic, heterocyclyl, carboxylic, and sulfonic classes of organic acids. Specific examples of suitable organic acids include acetate, trifluoroacetate, formate, propionate, succinate, glycolate, gluconate, digluconate, lactate, malate, tartaric acid, citrate, ascorbate, glucuronate, maleate, fumarate, pyruvate, aspartate, glutamate, benzoate, anthranilic acid, mesylate, stearate, salicylate, p-hydroxybenzoate, 30 phenylacetate, mandelate, embonate (pamoate), methanesulfonate, ethanesullonate, benzenesulfonate, pantothenate, toluenesulfonate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, sufanilate, cyclohexylaminosulfonate, algenic acid, b-hydroxybutyric acid, galactarate, galacturonale, adipate, alginate, bisulfate, butyrale, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, dodecylsulfate, glycoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalesulfQnale, oxalate, 35 palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, thiocyanate, tosylate, and undecanoate. 61 Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include, but are not limited to, metallic salts and organic salts. Non-limiting examples of suitable metallic salts include alkali metal (group [a) salts, alkaline earth metal (group Ia) salts, and other pharmaceutically acceptable metal salts. Such salts may be made, without limitation, from aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, 5 sodium, or zinc. Non-limiting examples of suitable organic salts can be made from tertiary amines and quaternary amine, such as tromethamine, diethylamine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine (N-methylglucamine), and procaine. Basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized with agents such as alkyl halides (e.g., iethyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, decyl, lauryl, myristyl, and stearyl chlorides/bronides/iodides), dialkyl 10 sulfates (e.g., diiethyl, diethyl, dibuytl, and dianyl sulfates), aralkyl halides (e.g., benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others. The compounds or salts of the present invention may exist in the form of solvates, such as with water (i.e., hydrates), or with organic solvents (e.g., with methanol, ethanol or acetonitrile to form, respectively, methanolate, ethanolate or acetonitrilate). 15 The compounds or salts of the present invention may also be used in the form of prodrugs. Some prodrugs are aliphatic or aromatic esters derived from acidic groups on the compounds of the invention. Others are aliphatic or aromatic esters of hydroxyl or amino groups on the compounds of the invention. Phosphate prodrugs of hydroxyl groups are preferred prodrugs. The compounds of the invention may comprise asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms 20 known as chiral centers. These compounds may exist, without limitation, as single stereoisomers (e.g., single enantiomers or single diastercomer), mixtures of stereoisomers (e.g. a mixture of enantioiners or diastereomers), or racemic mixtures. Compounds identified herein as single stereoisomers are meant to describe compounds that are present in a form that is substantially free from other stereoisomers (e.g., substantially free from other enantiomers or diaste'reomers). By 25 "substantially free," it means that at least 80% of the compound in a composition is the described stercoisomner; preferably, at least 90% of the compound in a composition is the described stereoisomer; and more preferably, at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% of the compound in a composition is the described stercoisomer. Where the stereochemistry of a chiral carbon is not specified in the chemical structure of a compound, the chemical structure is intended to encompass 30 compounds containing either stereoisomer of the chiral center. Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of this invention can be prepared using a variety of methods known in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, stereospecific synthesis, chromatographic separation of diastereomers, chromatographic resolution of enantiomers, conversion of enantiomers in an enantiomeric mixture to diastereomers followed by chromatographically 35 separation of the diastereomers and regeneration of the individual enantiomners, and enzymatic resolution. 62 Stereospecific synthesis typically involves the use of appropriate optically pure (enantiomerically pure) or substantial optically pure materials and synthetic reactions that do not cause racemization or inversion of stereochemistry at the chiral centers. Mixtures of stereoisomers of compounds, including racemic mixtures, resulting from a synthetic reaction may be separated, for 5 example, by chromatographic techniques as appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art. Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers can be accomplished by using chiral chromatography resins, many of which are commercially available. In a non-limiting example, racemate is placed in solution and loaded onto the column containing a chiral stationary phase. Enantiomers can then be separated by HPLC. 10 Resolution of enantiomiers can also be accomplished by converting enantiomers in a mixture to diastercoiers by reaction with chiral auxiliaries. The resulting diastereomers can be separated by column chromatography or crystallization/re-crystallization. This technique is useful when the compounds to be separated contain a carboxyl, amino or hydroxyl group that will form a salt or covalent bond with the chiral auxiliary. Non-limiting examples of suitable chiral auxiliaries include 15 chirally pure amino acids, organic carboxylic acids or organosulfonic acids. Once the diastereomers are separated by chromatography, the individual enantiomers can be regenerated. Frequently, the chiral auxiliary can be recovered and used again. Enzymes, such as esterases, phosphatascs or lipases, can be useful for the resolution of derivatives of enantiomers in an enantiomeric mixture. For example, an ester derivative of a carboxyl 20 group in the compounds to be separated can be treated with an enzyme which selectively hydrolyzes only one of the enantiomers in the mixture. The resulting enantiomerically pure acid can then be separated from the unhydrolyzed ester. Alternatively, salts of enantiomers in a mixture can be prepared using any suitable method known in the art, including treatment of the carboxylic acid with a suitable optically pure base such as 25 alkaloids or phenethylamine, followed by precipitation or crystallizalion/re-crystallization of the enantiomerically pure salts. Methods suitable for the resolution/separation of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures, can be found in ENANTIOMERS, RACEMATES, AND RESOLUTIONS (Jacques et al., 1981, John Wiley and Sons, New York, NY). A compound of this invention may possess one or more unsaturated carbon-carbon double 30 bonds. All double bond isomers, such as the cis (Z) and trans (E) isomers, and mixtures thereof are intended to be encompassed within the scope of a recited compound unless otherwise specified. In addition, where a compound exists in various tautomeric forms, a recited compound is not limited to any one specific tautomer, but rather is intended to encompass all tautomeric forms. Certain compounds of the invention may exist in different stable conformational forms which 35 may be separable. Torsional asymmetry due to restricted rotations about an asymmetric single bond, 63 for example because of steric hindrance or ring strain, may permit separation of different conformers. The invention encompasses each conformational isomer of these compounds and mixtures thereof. Certain compounds of the invention may also exist in zwitterionic form and the invention encompasses each zwitterionic form of these compounds and mixtures thereof. 5 The compounds of the present invention are generally described herein using standard nomenclature. For a recited compound having asymmetric center(s), it should be understood that all of the stereoisomers of the compound and mixtures thereof are encompassed in the present invention unless otherwise specified. Non-limiting examples of stereoisomers include' enantiomers, diastereoiers, and cis-transisomers. Where a recited compound exists in various automeric forms, 10 the compound is intended to encompass all tautomeric forms. Certain compounds are described herein using general formulas that include variables (e.g., A, B, D, X, L 1 , L 2 , L 3 , Y, Z, T, RA or RBJ. Unless otherwise specified, each variable within such a formula is defined independently of any other variable, and any variable that occurs more than one time in a formula is defined independently at each occurrence. If moieties are described as being "independently" selected from a group, each 15 moiety is selected independently from the other. Each moiety therefore can be identical to or different from the other moiety or moieties. The number of carbon atoms in a hydrocarbyl moiety can be indicated by the prefix "C,-Cy," where x is the minimum and y is the maximum number of carbon atoms in the moiety. Thus, for example, "C-Coalkyl" refers to an alkyl substituent containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Illustrating 20 further, C 3
-C
6 cycloalkyl means a saturated hydrocarbyl ring containing from 3 to 6 carbon ring atoms. A prefix attached to a multiple-component substituent only applies to the first component that immediately follows the prefix. To illustrate, the term "carbocyclylalkyl" contains two components: carbocyclyl and alkyl. Thus, for example, C 3 -CacarbocyclylCj-Coalkyl refers to a C 3
-C
6 carbocyclyl appended to the parent molecular moiety through a C 1
-C
6 alkyl group. 25 Unless otherwise specified, when a linking element links two other elements in a depicted chemical structure, the leftmost-described component of the linking element is bound to the left element in the depicted structure, and the rightmost-described component of the linking element is bound to the right element in the depicted structure. To illustrate, if the chemical structure is -Ls-M Ls'- and M is -N(Ra)S(O)-, then the chemical structure is -Ls-N(R3)S(O)-Ls' 30 If a linking element in a depicted structure is a bond, then the element left to the linking element is joined directly to the element right to the linking element via a covalent bond. For example, if a chemical structure is depicted as -Ls-M-Ls'- and M is selected as bond, then the chemical structure will be -Ls-Ls'-. If two or more adjacent linking elements in a depicted structure are bonds, then the element left to these linking elements is joined directly to the element right to 35 these linking elements via a covalent bond. For instance, if a chemical structure is depicted as -Es M-Ls'-M'-Ls"-, and M and Ls' are selected as bonds, then the chemical structure will be -Ls-M'- 64 L.,s"-. Likewise, if a chemical structure is depicted as -Ls-M-Ls'-M'-,s"--, and M, Ls' and M' are bonds, then the chemical structure will be -Ls-Ls"-. When a chemical formula is used to describe a moiety, the dash(s) indicates the portion of the moiety that has the free valence(s). 5 If a moiety is described as being "optionally substituted", the moiety may be either substituted or unsubstituted. If a moiety is described as being optionally substituted with up to a particular number of non-hydrogen radicals, that moiety may be either unsubstituted, or substituted by up to that particular number of non-hydrogen radicals or by up to the maximum number of substitutable positions on the moiety, whichever is less. Thus, for example, if a moiety is described as a 10 heterocycle optionally substituted with up to three non-hydrogen radicals, then any heterocycle with less than three substitutable positions will be optionally substituted by up to only as many non hydrogen radicals as the heterocycle has substitutable positions. To illustrate, tetrazolyl (which has only one substitutable position) will be optionally substituted with up to one non-hydrogen radical. To illustrate further, if an amino nitrogen is described as being optionally substituted with up to two 15 non-hydrogen radicals, then a primary amino nitrogen will be optionally substituted with up to two non-hydrogen radicals, whereas a secondary amino nitrogen will be optionally substituted with up to only one non-hydrogen radical. The term "alkenyl" means a straight or branched hydrocarbyl chain containing one or more double bonds. Each carbon-carbon double bond may have either cis or trans geometry within the 20 alkenyl moiety, relative to groups substituted on the double bond carbons. Non-limiting examples of alkenyl groups include ethenyl (vinyl), 2-propenyl, 3-propenyl, 1,4-pentadienyl, 1,4-butadienyl, 1-butenyl, 2-butenyl, and 3-butenyl. The term "alkenylene" refers to a divalent unsaturated hydrocarbyl chain which may be linear or branched and which has at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Non-limiting examples of 25 alkenylene groups include -C(H)=C(-)-, -C(H)=C(H)-CI-l,-, -C(H)=C(H)-CH 2

The term "therapeutically effective amount" refers to the total amount of each active substance that is sufficient to show a meaningful patient benefit, e.g. a reduction in viral load. 25 The term "prodrug" refers to derivatives of the compounds of the invention which have chemically or metabolically cleavable groups and become, by solvolysis or under physiological conditions, the compounds of the invention which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. A prodrug of a compound may be formed in a conventional manner by reaction of a functional group of the compound (such as an amino, hydroxy or carboxy group). Prodrugs often offer advantages of 30 solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in mammals (see, Bungard, H., DESIGN OF PRODRUGS, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acidic compound with a suitable alcohol, or aides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a suitable amine. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate, benzoate or 35 other acylated derivatives of alcohol or amine functional groups within the compounds of the invention. 68 'rhe term "solvate" refers to the physical association of a compound of this invention with one or more solvent molecules, whether organic or inorganic. This physical association often includes hydrogen bonding. In certain instances the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. "Solvate" 5 encompasses both solution-phase and isolable solvates. Exemplary solvates include, but are not limited to, hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates. The term "N-protecting group" or "N-protected" refers to those groups capable of protecting an amino group against undesirable reactions. Commonly used N-protecting groups are described in Greene and Wuts, PROTECTING GROUPS IN CHEMICAL SNI'rHESIS ( 3 d ed., John Wiley & Sons, NY 10 (1999).

Scheme I As another non-limiting cxamplc, the compounds of the present invention can be prepared 15 starting from compounds of Formula II and Formula III as shown in Scheme fI. The 1,4-diketones such as Formula IV may be prepared using known methods (see Nevar, et al., Synthesis: 1259-1262 (2000), such as the reaction of a-bromoketones such as Formula II with methyl ketones such as Formula II in the presence of a suitable Lewis acid such as ZnCl 2 or Ti(OiPr) 4 . The 1,4-diketones IV may be reduced to the I,4-diols such as V by the action of NaBI14, LiAIII 4 , or DIBAL. Alternatively, 20 enantioselective reduction of 1,4-diketones such as Formula IV can be accomplished by analogy with reported methods (see Chong, et al., Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 6:409-418 (1995), Li, et al., Tetrahedron 63:8046-8053 (2007), Aldous, et al., Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 11:2455-2462 (2000), 70 Masui, et al., Synlett:273-274 (1997), Jing, et al., Adv. Synth. Catal. 347:1193-1197 (00-5), Sato, et al., Synthesis:1434-1438 (2004)), such as reduction with (-) or (+)-diisopinocamheylchloroborane (DIP-chloride), with borane and an oxazaborolidine catalyst, or with asymmetric hydrogenation in the presence of a suitable Ruthenium (11) catalyst, such as [RuCl2{(R)-BINAP}{(R,R)-DPEN]] 5 (BINAP=2,2'-bis(diarylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl; DPEN=1,2-diphenylethylenediamine). The resultant racemic, enantiomerically enriched, or meso 1,4-diols V may be reacted with methanesulfonyl chloride to provide the dimesylate Formula VI. Alternatively Formula V may be converted to a ditriflate or ditosylate by the action of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride or triflic anhydride, or to a dihalide such as a dibroinde or dichloride by the action of PPh 3 in the presence of CC1 4 or 10 CBr 4 , or by the action of SOC 2 , PO0 3 , or PBr 3 . The dinesylate, ditriflate, ditosylate, or dihalide may be reacted with an amine, such as 4-fluoroaniline (as shown for illustration in Scheme H), with or without a co-solvent such as DMF at room temperature to 100 "C, to give the pyrrolidines such as Formula VH. In addition to 4-fluoroaniline, alternative amines may be reacted with the dimesylate Formula VI, including but not limited to aniline, 3,5-difluoroaniline, 3,4-difluoroaniline, 3 15 fluoroaniline, 4-trifluoromethylaniline, 4-chloroaniline, heteroaryl amines, alkyl amines, cycloalkyl amines, substituted benzylamines, or allylamine. The dinitro Formula VII may be reduced to the diamino Formula VII using Fc in the presence of NH 4 CI, HCI, or acetic acid, or by treatment with a hydride reducing agent, such as sodium borohydridc (with or without the addition of a transition metal salt, such as BiCl 3 , SbCi 3 , NiC 2 , Cu 2

The diamine Formula VIl may be reacted with a suitably protected proline acid (Boc is shown, although Cbz, Troc, or Fmoc may be substituted) in the presence of a peptide coupling reagent, such as EDAC/HOBT, PyBOP, HATU, or DEBPT', in a solvent such as THF, DMF, dichloromethane, or 25 DMSO, with or without the addition of an amine base such as Hunig's base, pyridine, 2,6-lutidine, or triethylamine, to give Formula IX. Removal of the Boc protecting groups to give X may be accomplished by treatment with an acid, such as TFA, HCI, or formic acid. Compounds of the present invention may be prepared by coupling of Formula X with an acid of choice using the standard peptide coupling reagents and conditions described above. Alternately, diamine Vill may be reacted 30 with an N-substituted proline in the presence of a peptide coupling reagent such as EDAC/HOBT, PyBOP, liA'IU, 3', or DEBI-I, in a solvent such as T-F, DMF, dichloromethane, or DMSO, with or without the addition of an amine base such as Hunig's base, pyridine, 2,6-lutidine, or triethylamine, F to directly give compounds of the present invention (Formula XI). - in each Formula within 71 Scheme 11 can be replaced with where D is defined above, and such compounds can be readily prepared according to the process described in Scheme a (including making compound XI directly from compound VI). 2 No2 NO, 02N NO2 2N No2 0N No HN NH2V iS IIIII OMS r, NO2 OH - NO, f un of FOMS ow i OH F F 10 NO, sml o s a Nf H 0 N N N F F -1 N N N 0 BocO N N 0 Boc X ix F Q N N N [N RJOO -' N 0) 5 X Scheme HI As yet another non-lim-iting example, the compounds of the present invention can be prepared starting from compounds of Formula a1 and Formula [II as shown in Scheme HII, where A, B, D, Y, 10 and Z are as described above, using conditions similar to those described above for the preparation of IV in Scheme 11. Similarly, the resulting 1,4-diketone IV may be reduced to the 1,4-diols V using the methods described above for Scheme U. The resultant racemic, enantiomerically enriched, or meso 1,4-diols V may be converted to the dimesylale VI or alternatively to a ditriflate, ditosylate, or dihalide by the methods described above. The dimesylate VI, ditriflate, ditosylate, or dihalide may be 72 reacted with an amine, including but not limited to, aniline, 3,5-difluoroaniline, 3,4-difluoroaniline, 4 fluoroaniline, 3-fluoroaniline, 4-trifluoromethylaniline, 4-chloroaniline, heteroaryl amines, alkyl amines, cycloalkyl marines, substituted benzylamines, or allylamine, under the conditions described above the give the compounds of the invention.

3 C for R = allyl, treatment with an acid such as TFA or HCI for R = 4-nethoxybenzyl or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, hydrogenolysis with a Pd catalyst for R = substituted benzyl) to generate compounds such as IX. Amine IX may be reacted with an aryl halide or triflate such as X (iodide shown for illustration) employing the Buchwald 10 Hartwig reaction in the presence of a palladium catalyst (such as Pd(OAc) 2 or Pd 2 (dba) 3 ) and a phosphine ligand (such as triphenylphosphine or XantPhos) and a base (such as sodium bis(triiethylsilyl)amide, potassium tert-butoxide, or K 3

Alternatively, the compounds of the present invention may be obtained by reaction of IX with an aldehyde or ketone through reductive amination in the presence of a hydride reducing agent, 15 such as sodium borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride (with or without the addition of an acid, such as acetic acid) in a solvent such as ethanol, toluene, TIIF, or dichloromethane. Alternatively the reductive amination may be conducted through the use of hydrogenation in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as a palladium or platinum catalyst or Rancy nickel. Alternatively, amine IX may react with electrophilic reagents, such as alkyl halides, or with aryl clectrophiles (suitably electron deficient 20 aryl and heteroaryl halides and triflates) through nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions to give the compounds of the present invention. 73 yHr Y z II III vII OMs O.Ms 110110 A B VI~a Y' z

The 1,4-diketones such as IV may be prepared using known methods described above for the preparation of IV for Scheme ii. The 1,4-diketones IV may be reduced to the 1,4-diols such as V by the action of NaBH 4 , LiAIH 4 , or 10 DIBAL. Alternatively, enantioselective reduction of 1,4-diketone such as IV can be accomplished by the methods described above for the preparation of V for Scheme I. The resultant racemic, enantiomerically enriched, or meso 1,4-diols V may be reacted with methansulfonyl chloride to provide the dimesylate VI. Alternatively V may be converted to a ditriflate or ditosylate by the methods described above for Scheme 11. The dimesylate, ditriflate, ditosylate, or dihalide may be 15 reacted with an amine including but not limited to aniline, 3,5-difluoroaniline, 3,4-difluoroaniline, 4 fluoroaniline, 3-fluoroaniline, 4-1rifluoromethylaniline, 4-chloroaniline, heteroaryl amines, alkyl 74 amines, cycloalkyl amines, substituted benzylamines, or allylamine to give VIT. When X 5 in Formula VII is nitro, the nitro groups may be reduced to the tetraamino product IX using Fe in the presence of

Alternatively, VII (X 5 = nitro) can be reduced to the product IX by hydrogenation in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as a palladium or platinum catalyst or Raney nickel. Alternatively, compounds VII where X 5 = halogen may be reacted with ammonia (R = -1) or an amine bearing a suitable protecting group (R = substituted benzyl such as 4-methoxybenzyl or 2,4 dimethoxybenzyl or R = allyl). The resulting products VIII may be treated with a reagent useful for 10 the removal of the R protecting group (rhodium catalyst such as Rh(Ph 3

Conversion to the benzimidazolc compound XI may be accomplished by heating X in acetic acid (50-100 *C). Alternatively, XI may be prepared by reaction of IX with an aldehyde, followed by treatment with an oxidant, such as Cu(OAc) 2 or MnO 2 (see Penning, et al., Bioorg. Med. 20 Chem. 16:6965-6975 (2008). After removal of the Boc protecting groups from XI (accomplished by treatment with an acid, such as TFA, HCI, or formic acid), the compounds of the present invention may be prepared by coupling of the resulting diamine XII with an acid of choice using the standard F peptide coupling reagents and conditions described above for Scheme II. in each Formula within Scheme IV can he replaced with 'Y" where D is defined above, and such compounds can 25 be readily prepared according to the process described in Scheme IV. 75 0 0 0 - , 0 2 N Br O 2 N ON II II O~ ~ X 5 OH i X, oN N 0 2 N N N NO2N NO 2 VII viIl F H 22 N 0 0I N5 02N N f< IIN NII 2 Bo 0 I*0 o Ix F F N N NN xI 1Boc XI Boc FIN NH N IN N No xmog O=( R R Scheme TV Alternatively IX in Scheme V may be prepared from a compound of Formula II as shown in 5 Scheme V.

For 10 example a compound of Formula If can be transformed to a compound of IE by treatment with pinacol-borane in the presence of a catalyst such as, for example, tris(dibenzylidineacetone)palladium (0), and a ligand such as, for example, tri-t-butylphosphine, in solvents such as: for example, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, or toluene at temperatures ranging from ambient to about 130*C.

(NJ, USA), dichloro[l,l' his(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene] palladium (fl) dichloromethane adduct, or palladium acetate in the presence of a ligand such as, for example, 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl (XPhos), and a base such as, for example, potassium acetate in solvents such as, for example, toluene, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide at temperatures from about 60 to 20 about 130C to give compound III.

A compound of Formula Ill in Scheme VHi can be coupled with a compound of Formula IV, where Ry is a halogen, such as bromo, chloro or iodo, under Suzuki reaction conditions to provide a 25 compound of Formula V. Such conditions include, for example, use of a palladium catalyst such as, for example, tris(dibenzylidineacetone)palladium (0), palladium acetate, bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, or dichloro[ 1,1l'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene] palladium (II) dichloromnethane adduct; base such as, for example, potassium carbonate, potassium phosphate, potassium t-butoxide, sodium carbonate, 30 cesium carbonate, or cesium fluoride; and solvent such as, for example, toluene, ethanol, water, or tetrahydrofuran, or mixtures thereof heated in the temperature range from about 40 to about 130 0 C. Removal of the Boc protecting groups from V may be accomplished by treatment with an acid, such as TFA, lICl, or formic acid.

This dialdehyde intermediate is then treated with an aryl boronate or aryl boronic acid (compound IV where A and Y are as described previously, or compound VII) and aniline III (where W is Rm or J, and RM and J arc as defined above) resulting in the formation of Formula V or Formula VIII respectively. Formula V can be derivatized by deprotonating the hydroxyl groups with a strong base such as sodium hydride, 15 butyl lithium, or potassium hydride, followed by alkylation with Rs-halogen.

The protecting group may be removed at a suitable point in the reaction sequence to provide a desired intermediate or target compound. Suitable protecting groups and methods for protecting or deprotecting moieties are well know in the art, examples of which can be found in Greene and Wuts, supra. Optimum reaction conditions and reaction times for each individual step may vary depending on the particular reactants employed and substituents present in 30 the reactants used. Solvents, temperatures and other reaction conditions may be readily selected by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the present invention. 92 Other compounds of the invention can be similarly prepared according to the above-described schemes as well as the procedures described in following examples, as appreciated by those skilled in the art.

The luciferase reporter gene is 5 placed under the translational control of thc poliovirus IRES instead of the HCV IRES, and H-uH--7 cells are used to support the replication of the replicon. The inhibitory activities of' the compounds of the present invention can be evaluated using a variety of assays known in the art. For instance, two stable subgenomic replicon cell lines can be used for compound characterization in cell culture: one derived from genotype l a-H77 and the other 10 derived from genotype I b-ConlI, obtained from University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX or Apath, L.LC, St. Louis, MO, respectively. The replicon constructs can he hicistronic subgenomic replicons. The genotype Ia replicon construct contains NS3-NS5R coding region derived from the H77 strain of HCV (Ia-H77). The replicon also has a firefly luciferase reporter and a neomycin phosphotransferase (Neo) selectable marker. These two coding regions, separated by the FMDV 2a 15 protease, comprise the first cistron of the bicistronic replicon construct, with the second cistron containing the NS3-NS5B coding region with addition of adaptive mutations E1202G, K1691R, K2040R and S22041. The lb-Cool replicon construct is identical to the la-H77 replicon, except that the HCV 5' UTR, 3' UTR, and NS3-NS5B coding region are derived from the lb-Con 1 strain, and the adaptive mutations are K1609E, K1846T and Y3005C. In addition, the lb-Con 1 replicon 20 construct contains a poliovirus [RES between the HCV fRES and the luciferase gene. Replicon cell lines can be mnaintainecd in Dulbecco's modified Eagles medium (DMEM) containing 10% (v/v) fetal 403 N-N -N bovine serum (FBS), 100 IUl/nil penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin (Invitrogen), and 200 mg/il G4 18 (Invitrogen). The inhibitory effects of the compounds of the invention on HCV replication can be determined by measuring activity of the luciferase reporter gene. For example, replicon-containing 5 cells can be seeded into 96 well plates at a density of 5000 cells per well in 100 pl DMEM containing 5% FBS. The following day compounds can be diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to generate a 200x stock in a series of eight half-log dilutions. The dilution series can then be further diluted 100-fold in the medium containing 5% FBS. Medium with the inhibitor is added to the overnight cell culture plates already containing 100 pi of DMEM with 5% FBS. In assays measuring inhibitory 10 activity in the presence of human plasma, the medium from the overnight cell culture plates can be replaced with DMEM containing 40% human plasma and 5% FBS. The cells can be incubated for three days in the tissue culture incubators after which time 30 [l of Passive Lysis buffer (Promega) can be added to each well, and then the plates are incubated for 15 minutes with rocking to lyse the cells. Luciferin solution (100 R., Promega) can be added to each well, and luciferase activity can be 15 measured with a Victor II luninometer (Perkin-Elmer). The percent inhibition of iCV RNA replication can be calculated for each compound concentration and the EC 50 value can be calculated using nonlinear regression curve fitting to the 4-parameter logistic equation and GraphPad Prism 4 software.
