Tertiary structure of HCV NS3/4A protease and structural formulas of approved or experimental NS3/4A inhibitors from (1) to (18). The tertiary structure of NS3/4A protease in complex with simeprevir (PDB codes: 3KEE and 4B76) is shown on top. HCV NS3 and NS4A proteins are displayed in orange and pink, respectively. Beneath the NS3/4A protein, chemical structures of approved and experimental NS3/4A inhibitors (Table 20) are demonstrated. Blue arrows indicate the optimization from initial compounds to FDA-approved compounds such as boceprevir (Njoroge et al., 2008), telaprevir (Kwong et al., 2011), simeprevir (Rosenquist et al., 2014), and grazoprevir (Harper et al., 2012, Liverton et al., 2008). Red structures indicate the differences between initial compounds and FDA- approved compounds.
