| Targets |
Valopicitabine HCl targets the HCV NS5B polymerase, which is the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase essential for HCV replication. As a prodrug, it is metabolized to the active nucleoside analog NM107, which competitively inhibits NS5B polymerase, causing chain termination. This mechanism is specific to the viral polymerase, making it a selective antiviral agent.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Valopicitabine is a potent anti-HCV agent. Its active metabolite, 2'-C-methylcytidine (NM107), competitively inhibits NS5B polymerase, leading to chain termination of viral RNA synthesis. The compound demonstrates potent antiviral activity against HCV in cell-based replication assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
The Cmax, AUC, t1/2, and tmax values of valopitabine (NM283) (100 mg/kg; oral; Sprague-Dawley rats) were 0.64, 8.95 μg h/mL, 3.624 μg/mL, and t1/2, respectively. one hour and thirty minutes[2].
In vivo, Valopicitabine has potent antiviral activity against chronic hepatitis C virus genotype-1 in the chimpanzee. In Sprague-Dawley rats, following oral administration at 100 mg/kg, it exhibits moderate Cmax (3.62 μg/mL) and a terminal elimination half-life (T1/2) of 0.64 h. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for Valopicitabine HCl are performed using purified HCV NS5B polymerase. The enzyme is incubated with a RNA template, nucleotides, and the active metabolite NM107. The incorporation of radiolabeled nucleotides into the growing RNA chain is measured, and the inhibition of polymerase activity is quantified. IC50 values are calculated from concentration-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for Valopicitabine HCl are performed using HCV replicon cell lines. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and viral RNA replication is measured by quantifying HCV RNA levels using quantitative RT-PCR or by measuring reporter gene expression. The EC50 for inhibition of HCV replication is calculated from concentration-response curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for Valopicitabine HCl are conducted in chimpanzee models of chronic hepatitis C virus genotype-1 infection. A typical protocol involves oral administration of the compound, followed by assessment of viral load reduction, liver enzyme levels, and pharmacokinetic parameters. Efficacy is evaluated by measuring the decline in HCV RNA levels in serum.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Valopicitabine HCl exhibits moderate Cmax (3.62 μg/mL) and terminal elimination half-life (T1/2 0.64 h) following oral administration (100 mg/kg) in Sprague-Dawley rats. As a prodrug, it is orally bioavailable and is converted to the active metabolite 2'-C-methylcytidine (NM107).
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Valopicitabine HCl has been evaluated in preclinical studies. As a nucleoside analog, its safety profile is characterized by its effects on mitochondrial function and potential for hematological toxicity. Specific toxicity data, including organ-specific effects and dose-limiting toxicities, are available from preclinical toxicology studies supporting its development.

| Additional Infomation |
Valopicitabine hydrochloride is the dihydrochloride of Valopicitabine, a 3-O-valine ester prodrug of the nucleoside analog 2'-C-methylcytidine, which possesses anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity. After administration, Valopicitabine is converted to 2'-C-methylcytidine; this metabolite, upon phosphorylation to its 5-triphosphate form, inhibits viral RNA chain elongation and viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity. This blocks HCV RNA production, thereby inhibiting viral replication.
Valopicitabine HCl is also known as NM283 dihydrochloride. It is a nucleoside analog and the orally bioavailable prodrug of the potent anti-HCV agent 2'-C-methylcytidine (NM107). It was developed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C but its development was discontinued. This product is for research use only. |
