Claims (26)

1. A compound having the formula:

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof,

wherein the dotted line represents an optional and additional bond, and wherein:

R 1 is -alkylene-OC(O)-alkyl or aminoalkyl;

R 2 is H, F, Cl or —CH 3 ;

R 3 is phenyl, naphthyl, nitrogen-containing heterocycloalkyl, nitrogen-containing heterocycloalkenyl or nitrogen-containing heteroaryl, any of which can be optionally substituted with up to 3 groups, which can be the same or different, and are selected from methyl, t-butyl, allyl, F, Cl, Br, —CN, —O—CH 2 CH 3 , —S(O)CH 3 , —S(O) 2 CH 3 , —NH 2 , —OH, —CH 2 NH 2 , —C(O)NH 2 , —C(O)NHCH 3 , —C(O)NH-cyclopropyl, hydroxyalkyl, —C(O)H, —C(O)CH 3 , —C(O)O-isopropyl, —C(O)O-t-butyl, —CH 2 C(O)-t-butyl, —OCH 3 , —NHCH 3 , —SCH 3 , —C(O)NHCH 3 , —NHC(O)OCH 3 , —NHC(O)O-isopropyl, —CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 , —OC(O)CH(CH 3 )NHC(O)O-t-butyl, —OC(O)CH(CH 3 )NH 2 , —C(O)O-t-butyl, —CH 2 C(O)O-t-butyl, —OCH 2 CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 , morpholinyl, —CH 2 OC(O)-t-butyl, —CH(═NOH), —CH(═NOCH 3 ), —NHC(O)CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 and —NHC(O)O-t-butyl.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is H or aminoalkyl.

3. The compound of claim 2 , wherein R 1 is —CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 , —CH 2 CH(NH 2 )CH 3 , —CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 , —CH 2 CH 2 NHCH 3 , —CH 2 CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 , —CH 2 CH(N(CH 3 ) 2 )CH 3 , or —CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 .

4. The compound of claim 3 , wherein R 1 is —CH 2 CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 .

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 2 is H or F.

6. The compound of claim 2 , wherein R 2 is H or F.

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is nitrogen-containing heteroaryl or nitrogen-containing heterocycloalkenyl.

8. The compound of claim 7 , wherein R 3 is nitrogen-containing heteroaryl.

9. The compound of claim 8 , wherein R 3 is:

10. The compound of claim 6 , wherein R 3 is nitrogen-containing heteroaryl or nitrogen-containing heterocycloalkenyl.

11. The compound of claim 10 , wherein R 3 is nitrogen-containing heteroaryl.

12. The compound of claim 11 , wherein R 3 is:

13. The compound of claim 4 , wherein R 2 is F.

14. The compound of claim 13 , wherein R 3 is:

15. A compound having the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

16. A pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

17. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , further comprising at least one additional antiviral agent, wherein the additional agent is not a compound of claim 1 , and wherein the additional antiviral agents) are selected from: an HCV polymerase inhibitor; an interferon; a RNA replication inhibitor; an antisense agent; a therapeutic vaccine; a protease inhibitor; an antibody therapy (monoclonal or polyclonal); and ribavirin.

18. A compound having the structure
