N-substituted benzyl matrinic acid derivatives inhibit hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication through down-regulating host heat-stress cognate 70 (Hsc70) expression.
Heat-stress cognate 70 (Hsc70) is a host factor that helps hepatitis C virus (HCV) to complete its life cycle in infected hepatocytes. Using Hsc70 as a target for HCV inhibition, a series of novel N-substituted benzyl matrinic/sophoridinic acid derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their ant...
