abt 333

Dasabuvir (ABT-333) is a non-nucleoside inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural protein 5B (NS5B), an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Upon administration and intracellular uptake, dasabuvir binds HCV NS5B polymerase, blocking viral RNA synthesis and replication. The HCV NS5B protein is essential for the replication of the HCV RNA genome.

Dasabuvir (ABT-333) sodium is a non-nucleoside hepatitis C virus (HCV) polymerase inhibitor that exhibits inhibition of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNA polymerase) encoded by the HCV NS5B gene. Dasabuvir sodium inhibited genotype 1a (strain H77) replicon (EC50: 7.7 nM) and 1b (strain Con1) replicon (EC50: 1.8 nM).
