Structural Analysis of Asunaprevir Resistance in HCV NS3/4A Protease
Asunaprevir (ASV), an isoquinoline-based competitive inhibitor targeting the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease, is very potent in vivo. However, the potency is significantly compromised by the drug resistance mutations R155K and D168A. In this study three crystal structures of ASV and an analogue were determined to analyze the structural basis of drug resistance susceptibility. These stru...
متن کاملComparison of Structural Architecture of HCV NS3 Genotype 1 versus Pakistani Genotype 3a
This study described the structural characterization of Pakistani HCV NS3 GT3a in parallel with genotypes 1a and 1b NS3. We investigated the role of amino acids and their interaction patterns in different HCV genotypes by crystallographic modeling. Different softwares were used to study the interaction pattern, for example, CLCBIO sequence viewer, MODELLER, NMRCLUST, ERRAT score, and MODELLER. ...
متن کاملOver-expression and characterization of NS3 and NS5A of Hepatitis C virus genotype 3a
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a common and leading cause for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current therapies to treat HCV infection are shown to be partially effective and poorly tolerated. Therefore, ample efforts are underway to rationally design therapies targeting the HCV non-structural proteins. Most of the work carried out in this direction has been focusing mainly...
متن کاملMolecular docking study of P4-Benzoxaborolesubstituted ligands as inhibitors of HCV NS3/4A protease
NS3/4A protease is an important emerging target for the cure of hepatitis C. There are many inhibitors of HCV NS3/4A protease that are passing through the clinical improvement indicating momentous reduction in the viral infection rate of patients. In this study molecular docking via MOE-Dock program was used to evaluate binding interactions of ligands with HCV NS3/4A protease. The docking and e...
متن کاملCyclic sulfones as novel P3-caps for hepatitis C virus NS3/4A (HCV NS3/4A) protease inhibitors: synthesis and evaluation of inhibitors with improved potency and pharmacokinetic profiles.
HCV infection affects more than 170 million people worldwide and many of those patients will reach the end stage complications of the disease which include hepatocarcinoma and liver failure. The success rate for treatment of patients infected with genotype-1 is about 40%. Therefore, novel treatments are needed to combat the infection. The HCV NS3 protease inhibitor Boceprevir (1) was reported b...
