Description: Asunaprevir (formerly BMS-650032; BMS-650032; trade name in Japan and Russia: Sunvepra) is a potent and orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 (non-structural) protease that has been approved for use in Japan as part of a combination treatment for HCV infections. It inhibits HCV NS3 protease with an IC50 of 0.2 nM-3.5 nM. HCV serine protease NS3 is required for protein processing during viral replication. Asunaprevir is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of hepatitis C. It is being tested in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, as well as in interferon-free regimens with other direct-acting antiviral agents including daclatasvir. It is currently in Phase III clinical trials.

ProtocolIn VitroIn vitro activity: 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. 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). 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. Kinase Assay: 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. Cell Assay: Cytotoxicity is determined by incubating cells (3,000 to 10,000 cells/well) with serially diluted test compounds or DMSO for 5 days (MT-2 cells) or 4 days (all other cell types). Cell viability is quantitated using an MTS assay for MT-2 or a Cell-Titer Blue reagent assay for HEK-293, HuH-7, HepG2, and MRC5 cells, and 50% cytotoxic concentrations (CC50s) are calculated. For the HCV and BVDV replicon assays, CC50s are determined from the same wells that are later used to determine EC50s.
In VivoAsunaprevir (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.
Animal modelMice (n=9 per group; overnight fast) receive Asunaprevir (ASV) by oral gavage (5 mg/kg; vehicle of PEG-400-ethanol, 9:1).
