Abstract excerpt
Existing HCV protease inhibitors fall into two categories: reversible and non-covalent, such as BILN-2061, and covalent and reversible, exemplified by SCH-503034 and VX-950. In this work, the characterization of the kinetics of these three inhibitors is presented. SCH-503034 and VX-950 initially bind to the genotype 1b HCV NS3/4A protease to form a low affinity complex, with K(i) values of 5 and 5.8 microM...
