Abstract

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) encodes its own RNA dependent RNA polymerase (NS5b) in order to replicate its genome. An efficient pharmacophore was identified, by executing structural analysis of a set of 49 indole-based inhibitors of the HCV NS5B polymerase. Identified pharmacophoric features, two hydrophobic regions, and 4 aromatic rings i.e. HHRRRR.649. Ligand based 3D-QSAR was performed, partial least square regression analysis was employed which gave a regression coefficient R2 of 0.98 and Q2 of 0.88, and Pearson-R of 0.96.
