Background:

VCH-916 is a novel nonnucleoside HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitor.IC50 Value: Target: HCVVCH-916 is a novel allosteric inhibitor of HCV NS5B polymerase. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (NS5B) of HCV is one of the attractive validated targets for development of new drugs to block HCV infection. VCH-916 is currently being evaluated for safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics and anti-viral efficacy in chronically infected HCV patient.
