Biological Activity
| Description | Simeprevir is a competitive, reversible, macrocyclic, noncovalent hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor that acts directly against the hepatitis C virus. It has a medium inhibitory concentration (IC50) <13 nM for all HCV NS3/4A enzymes(genotypes 1a, 1b, 2, 4, 5, and 6), but has an IC50 value of 37 nM for genotype 3. | |

| Targets |
|
|
| In vitro | Simeprevir exhibits potent inhibition on NS3/4A protease of genotypes 1a, 1b, 2, 4, 5, and 6, with a medium inhibitory concentration (IC50) <13 nM for all HCV NS3/4A enzymes tested. However, the IC50 for genotype 3 is 37 nM. In vitro, simeprevir is also an inhibitor of bilirubin transporters OATP1B1 and MRP2. It is a more potent inhibitor of OATP1B1 (IC50=720 nM), which is primarily responsible for transporting unconjugated bilirubin, than MRP2 (IC50 around 10,000 nM), primarily a conjugated bilirubin transporter[1]. | |
| In vivo | In vivo, simeprevir has a relatively long absorption phase, reaching maximum concentration (Cmax) after 4-6 hours. It is extensively (99.9%) bound to plasma proteins, mainly to albumin. The absolute bioavailability is 44% after a single oral administration. In rats, The liver to blood ratio is 29:1, which means good distribution to the liver. For humans, in preclinical studies, the liver to plasma concentration ratio is really high (ratio of 39). The highest tissue/plasma AUC ratios are observed in the small intestine (ratio of 128). While tissue simeprevir concentrations reaches peak values within 4 hours postdosing, simeprevir concentrations in liver remains above the EC99 for up to 31 hours postdosing, and plasma concentrations are higher than the EC99 at 8 hours and around the EC50 at 24 hours postdosing. The AUC24h of simeprevir is increased by 61%-69% when administered with food. Simeprevir should therefore be taken with food. Simeprevir is also a substrate and inhibitor of P-glycoprotein. Simeprevir is metabolized by CYP3A4 and eliminated by biliary excretion. It is also an inhibitor of gut cytochrome 3A4 but not hepatic CYP3A4[1]. |
