NS5A inhibitors

NS5A is a membrane-associated phosphoprotein involved in
both the formation of the replication complex and in the virus
assembly. The most potent HCV NS5A inhibitor reported to date

is BMS-790052, currently in phase II clinical trial in combination
with SoC. It was also used in combination with a protease
inhibitor (BMS-650032) for retreatment of previous nonresponders
to SoC with good results, but only in association with
PegIFN/RBV. Exclusion of SoC from the therapeutic regimen
resulted in high rates of viral breakthrough through week 12.
