Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Telaprevir prevents the hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease.[1] Telaprevir is a slow-binding peptidomimetic ketoamide inhibitor which potently inhibits the enzyme cytochrome P450 3A.[2] Telaprevir with the HCV NS3⋅4A protease forms a weaker complex with an apparent Ki of 44 nM. After that, a rearrangement occurs. The tightly bound form of the complex of telaprevir with the HCV NS3⋅4A protease generates with a Ki of 7-10 nM. Telaprevir suppresses HCV replication with an IC50 of 0.28 μM in a genotype 1a HCV infectious virus assay. Telaprevir inhibits a genotype 1b HCV replicon with an IC50 of 0.354 μM. Telaprevir at a dose of 7 μM decreases levels of HCV replicon RNA by > 3.5-log10.In HCV replicon assay cells, the CC50 (50% cell kill) of telaprevir is 83 μM, resulting in an in vitro selectivity index (CC50/IC50) of 234.[1] Telaprevir decreases levels of HCV RNA and proteins in replicon cells, in a time- and dose-dependent fashion, with a reduction of 4.7 log10 following a 2-week incubation. The combination of telaprevir and alpha interferon is additive to moderately synergistic in reducing HCV RNA in replicon cells with no significant increase in cytotoxicity. The benefit of the combination is sustained over time: a 4-log10 reduction in HCV RNA level is achieved following a 9-day incubation with telaprevir and alpha interferon at lower concentrations than when either telaprevir or alpha interferon is used alone. The combination of telaprevir and alpha interferon also suppresses the emergence of in vitro resistance mutations against telaprevir in replicon cells. The IC50s following a 24-, 48-, 72-, and 120-hour incubation with VX-950 are 0.57, 0.49, 0.21, and 0.14 μM, respectively, indicating an increase in inhibitory effects with time.[3] In an HCV protease mouse model, telaprevir blocks HCV protease activity in the liver with an AED50 of < 0.3 mg/kg, and pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses establish a 6- to 16-fold higher liver-to-plasma exposure ratio 1 hour after dosing. The t1/2 of telaprevir is about 58 minutes.[2]

Protocols

Telaprevir is dissolved in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).[1]
