Aryl-n-aryl derivatives for treating a rna virus infection

Abstract

A compound: wherein Xrepresents an alkenylene group, a —NH—CO— group, a —CO—NH— group, Yrepresents an aryl group selected from pyridyl, pyrazinyl or pyrimidinyl, Xrepresents —O—, —CO—NH—, —NH—CO—NH—, —OCH—, —NH—CO—, a divalent 5-membered heteroaromatic ring comprising 1 to 4 heteroatoms or —SO—NH—, and Yrepresents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a morpholinyl group, a piperidinyl group, optionally substituted by a (C-C)alkyl group, a piperazinyl group, optionally substituted by a (C-C)alkyl group, or —CRRRor alternatively X—Yrepresents —CONRR, wherein Rand Rform, together with the nitrogen atom a heterocyclic ring, optionally substituted by one or two (C-C)alkyl group, by a cyclopentyl group thus forming a spirocyclopentyl, or by a trifluoromethyl group, or any of its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, for use in the treatment and/or prevention of a RNA virus infection caused by a RNA virus belonging to group IV or V of the Baltimore classification.
