Patent Claims:	1. A method of inhibiting HCV in a human comprising administering a compound of formula: wherein: V is alkyl; L is benzimidazolyl; M is a 5-membered heteroaryl ring; A15 is: and P is selected from: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or prodrug thereof to the human. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is a compound of formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof . 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is a compound of formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. 4. The method compound of claim 1 wherein P is selected from: 5. The method of claim 1 wherein P is 6. The method of claim 1 wherein P is 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is a compound of formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is a compound of formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is a compound of formula: wherein: V is alkyl; M is a 5-membered heteroaryl ring; and A15 is: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is a compound of formula: wherein: V is alkyl; and A15 is: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein each V is: 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is a compound of formula: or or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is a compound of formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising administering at least one additional therapeutic agent. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein said additional therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of ribavirin analogs, NS3 protease inhibitors, NS5b polymerase inhibitors, alpha-glucosidase 1 inhibitors, hepatoprotectants, non-nucleoside inhibitors of HCV, and other drugs for treating HCV. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein said additional therapeutic agent is a nucleoside analogue. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein said nucleoside analogue is selected from ribavirin, viramidine, levovirin, an L-nucleoside, and isatoribine. 18. The method of claim 13, further comprising administering at least one additional therapeutic agent. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein said additional therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of ribavirin analogs, NS3 protease inhibitors, NS5b polymerase inhibitors, alpha-glucosidase 1 inhibitors, hepatoprotectants, non-nucleoside inhibitors of HCV, and other drugs for treating HCV. 20. The method of claim 18, wherein said additional therapeutic agent is a nucleoside analogue. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein said nucleoside analogue is selected from ribavirin, viramidine, levovirin, an L-nucleoside, and isatoribine.
