It was found that some of them showed moderate anti-HCV entry activity, especially compound 12, and these modifications also removed the undesired hemolytic effect.展开更多

Their anti-HCV entry activities were evaluated by HCVpp and VSVpp entry assays. It was found that echinocystic acid （EA） and its dimer were still necessary for maintaining anti-HCV entry activity, and replacement of EA by other triterpenes might significantly decrease its anti-viral activities. Using a linker bearing a piperazine group, compound 14 dramatically increased its potency with IC50 at 2.87 nmol/L. In addition, the undesired hemolytic effect of all these compounds was removed.展开更多
