Simeprevir sodium
Based on 46 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Simeprevir (TMC435; TMC435350) sodium is an oral, potent and highly specific hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor with a Ki of 0.36 nM. Simeprevir sodium inhibits HCV replication with an EC50 of 7.8 nM. Simeprevir sodium also potently suppresses SARS-CoV-2 replication and synergizes with Remdesivir. Simeprevir sodium inhibits the main protease (Mpro) and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2, and also modulates host immune responses.

Huh7.5 (HCV+) cells are treated with 1 μM of Simeprevir or solvent control. At 24 hours, the cells are washed and continuously incubated with fresh culture media containing drugs again for 48 hours. The cultural supernatants are then harvested and directly incubated to naïve Huh7.5 cells. After been passaged 1~3 times, the newly infected cells are treated with 1 μM of Simeprevir for 72 hours. Intracellular proteins are extracted and detected with WB.
