Hepatitis C protease inhibitor

Functions

Hepatitis C NS3/4A protease inhibitor that is in clinical use for genotype 1 infections (IC50 = 354 nM genotype 1b replicon cells; IC50 = 280 nM human fetal hepatocytes infected with genotype 1a HCV-positive patient sera). It has been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV2 proteases MPro (IC50 = 15 µM) and 3CLPro (IC50 = 56 µM). Telaprevir is also an allosteric inhibitor of DnaK, the bacterial homolog of Hsp70. It enhanced the efficacy of aminoglycoside antibiotics and reduced resistance to the tuberculosis drug rifampin.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 25 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.

Research use only.
