Various conjugated compounds containing a coumarin moiety and a heterocyclic nucleus were synthesized. Their activity against hepatitis C virus was tested on subgenomic replicon replication in Huh 5-2 cells. Some heterobicycle-coumarin conjugates with the -S-CH(2)-linker were found to possess appealing antiviral activities. The sulfur atom in these conjugated compounds was found to be an essential element to their antiviral activity.
