Synergy of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS4A antagonist in combination with HCV protease and polymerase inhibitors.
Rapid emergence of resistance to monotherapy with virus-specific inhibitors necessitates combination therapy. ACH-806 is a hepatitis C virus NS4A inhibitor with a novel mechanism of action and resistance pathway. This compound was synergistic with NS3 protease inhibitors and NS5B nucleoside and nonnucleoside polymerase inhibitors.
متن کاملSusceptibility of treatment-naive hepatitis C virus (HCV) clinical isolates to HCV protease inhibitors.
In order to assess the natural variation in susceptibility to hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protease inhibitors (PIs) among untreated HCV patient samples, the susceptibilities of 39 baseline clinical isolates were determined using a transient-replication assay on a panel of HCV PIs, including two α-ketoamides (VX-950 and SCH-503034) and three macrocyclic inhibitors (MK-7009, ITMN-191, and TMC-435...
متن کاملMutations conferring resistance to a hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor alone or in combination with an HCV serine protease inhibitor in vitro.
Compounds A-782759 (an N-1-aza-4-hydroxyquinolone benzothiadiazine) and BILN-2061 are specific anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agents that inhibit the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and the NS3 serine protease, respectively. Both compounds display potent activity against HCV replicons in tissue culture. In order to characterize the development of resistance to these anti-HCV agents, HCV subgenomic 1...
متن کاملThe hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS4B RNA binding inhibitor clemizole is highly synergistic with HCV protease inhibitors.
BACKGROUND We recently identified a compound, clemizole hydrochloride, that inhibits NS4B's RNA binding and hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. Although significant, clemizole's antiviral effect is moderate (50% effective concentration of 8 microM against an HCV genotype 2a clone). We hypothesized that the combination of clemizole with other anti-HCV agents can increase the antiviral effect ov...
متن کاملComplexity and catalytic efficiency of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 and NS4A protease quasispecies influence responsiveness to treatment with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin in HCV/HIV-coinfected patients.
The role of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease in ablating the signaling pathway involved in the production of alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) suggests a relationship between NS3/4A proteolytic activity and a patient's response to IFN-based therapy. To identify viral factors associated with the HCV treatment response, we analyzed the pretreatment NS3/4A protease gene quasispecies compo...
