Description

Mericitabine (RG 7128; R-7128) is a nucleoside inhibitor of the HCV NS5B polymerase that acts as an RNA chain terminator and prevents elongation of RNA transcripts during replication.

IC50 & Target

HCV NS5B polymerase[1]

In Vitro

Mericitabine (RG 7128; R-7128) is an oral prodrug of PSI-6130, a cytidine analogue. Pre-clinical observations demonstrated that PSI-6130 has an EC90 value of 4.6±2 μM in the HCV replicon assay. Mericitabine (RG 7128; R-7128) shows high specificity for HCV, minimal cytotoxicity and does not affect mitochondrial DNA. PSI-6130 is converted through phosphorylation by cellular kinases to an active 5′-triphosphate metabolite, which inhibits the NS5B RNA polymerase of HCV. Mericitabine (RG 7128; R-7128) demonstrates a relatively good safety profile and significant potency against HCV-1[2]. Mericitabine is a first-in class nucleoside polymerase inhibitor (NPI), which requires intracellular uptake and phosphorylation to two active triphosphates.Mericitabine (RG 7128; R-7128) is an oral cytidine nucleoside analog prodrug that exhibits strong antiviral effectiveness against the HCV polymerase across all HCV genotypes[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
