VX-950 is a potent, small molecule, peptidomimetic inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3.4A serine protease. Although competitive with the peptide substrate in the active site, VX-950 exhibits apparent noncompetitive inhibition as a result of its tight binding properties and time-dependent inhibition mechanism. Incubation of the HCV Con1 subgenomic replicon cells with VX-950 results in a concentration-dependent decline of the HCV RNA level. The dominant resistance mutation observed against VX-950 was a substitution of Ala156 in the HCV NS3 protease domain with a serine. VX-950 demonstrates excellent antiviral activity both in genotype 1b HCV replicon cells with IC50 of 354 nM and in human fetal hepatocytes infected with genotype 1a HCV-positive patient sera with IC50 of 280 nM. VX-950 forms a covalent but reversible complex with the genotype 1a HCV NS3-4A protease in a slow-on, slow-off process with a steady-state inhibition constant Ki of 7 nM. [1][2]
