Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Simeprevir is a potent, competitive, and reversible macrocyclic hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor that acts directly against HCV replication. It inhibits NS3/4A protease enzymes across multiple HCV genotypes, demonstrating an IC50 of <13 nM against genotypes 1a, 1b, 2, 4, 5, and 6, and an IC50 of 37 nM against genotype 3. By targeting the viral protease, Simeprevir blocks polyprotein cleavage, suppressing viral polyprotein processing and viral RNA replication. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
