MedKoo CAT#: 319827

CAS#: 877130-28-4

Description: Filibuvir, also known as PF00868554, is a non-nucleoside orally available NS5B inhibitor under development for the treatment of hepatitis C. It binds to the non-catalytic Thumb II allosteric pocket of NS5B viral polymerase and causes a decrease in viral RNA synthesis. It is a potent and selective inhibitor, with a mean IC50 of 0.019 μM against genotype 1 polymerases. Its investigation was discontinued on February 2013 due to strategic reasons.
