AT-527(Bemnifosbuvir hemisulfate)

AT-527(Bemnifosbuvir hemisulfate), a hemisulfate salt of AT-511, a guanosine nucleotide prodrug, is a potent and orally active HCV viral replication inhibitor. AT-527 is highly effective in the control of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection in vitro (EC90=0.47 μM). Bemnifosbuvir hemisulfate has pangenotypic antiviral activity[1][2][3].Bemnifosbuvir hemisulfate has pan-genotypic antiviral activities that inhibits HCV genotype 1a (HCV GT1a), HCV GT1b, HCV GT2a, HCV GT3a, HCV GT4a, and HCV GT5a replication with EC50 values of 12.8 nM, 12.5 nM, 9.2 nM, 10.3 nM, 14.7 nM, and 28.5 nM, respectively[1].
In normal human airway epithelial cells, the concentration of Bemnifosbuvir hemisulfate required to inhibit replication of SARS-CoV-2 by EC90 is 0.47 μM, very similar to its EC90 against HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43 and SARS-CoV in Huh-7 cells[2].When given orally to rats (500 mg/kg) and monkeys (30 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg or 300 mg/kg), Bemnifosbuvir hemisulfate preferentially delivers high levels of AT-9010 in the liver in vivo[1].
