Daclatasvir, inhibits the HCV protein NS5A, and thus can be used as a drug candidate for the treatment of hepatitis C (HCV).
정의
ChEBI: Daclatasvir is a member of the class of biphenyls that is a potent inhibitor of nonstructural protein 5A and is used (as its hydrochloride salt) for treatment of hepatitis C. It has a role as a nonstructural protein 5A inhibitor and an antiviral drug. It is a member of biphenyls, a member of imidazoles, a carbamate ester, a carboxamide and a valine derivative. It is a conjugate base of a daclatasvir(2+).
Mechanism of action
Daclatasvir is an inhibitor of NS5A, a phosphoprotein that plays an important role in hepatitis C replication.Daclatasvir reduces serum HCV RNA levels. It disrupts HCV replication by inhibiting viral RNA replication and viral assembly and by inhibiting phosphorylation of NS4A, thereby inhibiting the formation and activation of the HCV replication complex.
