Application Number: | 15/454,911 |
Claims: | 1. A compound of formula (I-d) ##STR00195## wherein n is 3, 4, 5, or 6; R.sup.1 is --NHSO.sub.2R.sup.8; R.sup.2 is hydrogen; R.sup.3 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-6alkyl; R.sup.4 is Het, wherein Het is a 5- or 6-membered saturated, partially unsaturated, or completely unsaturated heterocyclic ring containing 1 to 4 heteroatoms each independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, and wherein said Het as a whole is optionally substituted with one, two, or three substituents each independently selected from halo, hydroxy, cyano, carboxyl, C.sub.1-6alkyl, C.sub.1-6alkoxy, or C.sub.1-6alkoxyC.sub.1-6alkyl; R.sup.5 is C.sub.1-6alkyl; R.sup.6 is C.sub.1-6alkoxy; and R.sup.8 is C.sub.3-7cycloalkyl optionally substituted with C.sub.1-6alkyl or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a stereochemically isomeric form thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the stereochemically isomeric form. 2. The compound of claim 1, wherein R.sup.4 is ##STR00196## wherein R.sup.4a is hydrogen, halo, C.sub.1-6alkyl, amino, or mono- or di-C.sub.1-6alkylamino; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a stereochemically isomeric form thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the stereochemically isomeric form. 3. The compound of claim 1, wherein n is 4 or 5; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a stereochemically isomeric form thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the stereochemically isomeric form. 4. The compound of claim 1, that is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of formula I-d. 5. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of claim 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a stereochemically isomeric form thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the stereochemically isomeric form, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 6. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 5, comprising an amount of the compound of claim 1 that is sufficient to treat a hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a human. 7. A combination comprising a compound of claim 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a stereochemically isomeric form thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the stereochemically isomeric form; and another anti-HCV agent. 8. The combination of claim 7, wherein the other anti-HCV agent is an HCV polymerase inhibitor, an HCV protease inhibitor, an inhibitor of another target in the HCV life cycle, an immunomodulatory agent, an antiviral agent, or a combination thereof. 9. The combination of claim 7, wherein the other anti-HCV agent is an HCV polymerase inhibitor, an HCV protease inhibitor, an antiviral agent, or a combination thereof. 10. The combination of claim 7, wherein the other anti-HCV agent is an HCV polymerase inhibitor. 11. The combination of claim 7, wherein the other anti-HCV agent is an HCV protease inhibitor. 12. The combination of claim 7, wherein the other anti-HCV agent is an antiviral agent. 13. The combination of claim 7, wherein the other anti-HCV agent is ribavirin. 14.
