Elbasvir

SKU: orb1302771

Description

Elbasvir is a small molecule NS5A inhibitor used in research for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. It is applied in both in vitro virology studies and in vivo animal models to investigate antiviral mechanisms and combination therapy efficacy, supporting the development of direct-acting antiviral regimens.

Bioactivity

• Target IC50:
  NS5A:2.2 pM (EC50)
• In Vitro:
  Elbasvir potently inhibits hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) with an EC50 value of 2.2 pM in Huh7 human liver cancer cells expressing pH77S.3/GLuc2A, a cell-culture adapted HCV16 genotype 1a derivative and luciferase reporter, following a 48-hour exposure in vitro [1,2]. NS5A is essential for HCV RNA synthesis and viral assembly, and elbasvir inhibits the assembly of new viral replicase complexes when used at a concentration of 50 pM . It exhibits potent inhibitory activity against a broad range of HCV genotypes with EC50 values of 0.0002-34 nM in Huh7 cells expressing replicons of HCV genotype 4 NS5A and EC50 values of less than 0.2 nM for replicons from all other tested genotypes except 2b [1,3,4]. Formulations containing elbasvir have been used alone and in combination with NS3/4A protease inhibitors in the treatment of HCV.
