Description
Target:
In Vivo
Asunaprevir (ASV, 3-15 mg/kg, p.o.) displays a hepatotropic disposition (liver-to-plasma ratios ranging from 40- to 359-fold across species) in several animal species. Twenty-four hours postdose, liver exposures across all species tested are ≥110-fold above the inhibitor EC50 observed with HCV genotype-1 replicons[2].
In Vitro
In multiple experiments, populations of resistant colonies are markedly reduced when cells are treated with a combination of DCV and Asunaprevir[1]. Asunaprevir (ASV) inhibits the NS3 proteolytic activity of genotype 1a (H77 strain) and genotype 1b (J4L6S strain), with IC50s of 0.7 and 0.3 nM, respectively. The EC50s of ASV against replicons encoding the NS3 protease domains representing genotypes 1a, 1b, and 4a, range from 1.2 to 4.0 nM[2]. Replicon cells are maintained under selective pressure with asunaprevir at concentrations of 10 and 30 times the EC50 values (50 or 150 nM final concentrations, respectively). For genotype 1b resistance selection, replicon cells are maintained in the presence of asunaprevir at 10 or 30 times the EC50 values (30 or 90 nM final concentrations, respectively)[3]. Asunaprevir, administered at single or multiple doses of 200 to 600 mg twice daily, is generally well tolerated, achieving rapid and substantial decreases in HCV RNA levels in subjects chronically infected with genotype 1 HCV[4].
