In vitro
MK-5172 is a novel P2-P4 quinoxaline macrocyclic NS3/4a protease inhibitor currently in clinical development. The compound demonstrates subnanomolar activity against a broad enzyme panel encompassing major hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes as well as variants resistant to earlier protease inhibitors[1].
In vivo
In both rat and dog, MK-5172 demonstrates good plasma and liver exposures, with 24-h liver levels suggestive of once-daily dosing. When administered to HCV-infected chimpanzees harboring chronic gt1a or gt1b infections, MK-5172 suppresses viral load between 4 to 5 logs at a dose of 1 mg/kg of body weight twice daily (b.i.d.) for 7 days. MK-5172 demonstrates low to moderate clearance and a modest half-life in both rat and dog. Upon oral administration, MK-5172 demonstrates modest bioavailability of 12 to 13%, with moderate plasma exposure in both species. Significant liver concentrations are achieved in both rat and dog. The 24-h trough liver concentrations are 0.2 μM in rat and 1.4 μM in dog (1 mg per kg), yielding exposure multiples of 27- to 200-fold over the serum-adjusted replicon EC50. MK-5172 proves highly efficacious in vivo at moderate doses against chronic-HCV-infected chimpanzees, including greater viral load suppression than vaniprevir when dosed alternatively to the same animal at an otherwise identical dose and frequency[1].
