Telaprevir

{PARAM:[Name]}({[CAS]})
Category HCV Protease
CAS 402957-28-2
Description Telaprevir is a potent, selective, peptidomimetic inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3-4A serine protease, and it demonstrated excellent antiviral activity both in genotype 1b HCV replicon cells (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 354 nM) and in human fetal hepatocytes infected with genotype 1a HCV-positive patient sera (IC50 = 280 nM). Telaprevir 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 (K(i)*) of 7 nM. Dissociation of the covalent enzyme-inhibitor complex of Telaprevir and genotype 1a HCV protease has a half-life of almost an hour. A >4-log10 reduction in the HCV RNA levels was observed after a 2-week incubation of replicon cells with Telaprevir, with no rebound of viral RNA observed after withdrawal of the inhibitor. In several animal species, Telaprevir exhibits a favorable pharmacokinetic profile with high exposure in the liver. In a recently developed HCV protease mouse model, Telaprevir showed excellent inhibition of HCV NS3-4A protease activity in the liver.

In Vitro Telaprevir (VX-950) is a covalent, reversible inhibitor of the NS3-4A protease with a slow-binding and slow-dissociation mechanism. Telaprevir exhibits significantly different kinetics in enzyme inhibition, which is most clearly exemplified by a very long half-life (58 min) of the bound enzyme-inhibitor complex. Telaprevir is additive to moderately synergistic with IFN-α in inhibiting HCV replication and in suppressing the emergence of resistance in replicon cells. Telaprevir reduces HCV RNA levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The IC50s following a 24, 48, 72, and 120 h incubation with Telaprevir are determined to be 0.574, 0.488, 0.21, and 0.139 μM, respectively, indicating an increase in inhibitory effects with time. Following three independent experiments using the 48 h incubation in the presence of 2% FBS, the average IC50 of Telaprevir is determined to be 0.354 ± 0.035 μM, and the average IC90 is 0.830 ± 0.190 μM. Telaprevir (VX-950) is a potent, selective, peptidomimetic inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3-4A serine protease, and Telaprevir demonstrates excellent antiviral activity both in genotype 1b HCV replicon cells (IC50=354 nM) and in human fetal hepatocytes infected with genotype 1a HCV-positive patient sera (IC50=280 nM).
In Vivo There is an ~5-fold reduction of serum SEAP activity in mice dosed with Telaprevir (VX-950) at either 10 or 25 mg/kg, which has an average value (±SEM) of 18.7±8.3% or 18.4±5.4%, respectively, compare to those administered vehicle (100±28%). These data demonstrates that Telaprevir is able to inhibit the HCV NS3-4A serine protease activity in mouse liver and block cleavage and subsequent secretion of SEAP into blood circulation in these mice.

Description of First Aid Measures

Eye contact

Remove any contact lenses, locate eye-wash station, and flush eyes immediately with large amounts of water. Separate eyelids with fingers to ensure adequate flushing. Promptly call a physician.

Skin contact

Rinse skin thoroughly with large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and call a physician.

Inhalation

Immediately relocate self or casualty to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Avoid mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Ingestion

Wash out mouth with water; Do NOT induce vomiting; call a physician.
