The anti-hepatitis C virus nucleotide prodrug GS-6620 employs a double-prodrug approach, with l-alanine-isopropyl ester and phenol moieties attached to the 5'-phosphate that release the nucleoside monophosphate in hepatocytes and a 3'-isobutyryl ester added to improve permeability and oral bioavailability.
