Amino acid derivatives, VII:: Synthesis and antiviral evaluation of α-amino acid esters bearing an indazole side chain

A series of peptide and dipeptide derivatives conjugated with an indazole residue were synthesized. The new compounds were evaluated in vitro for cytotoxicity against Hepatitis-A virus (HAV-27), Herpes Simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), and Hepatitis-B virus (HBV) and showed moderate to high activity.
