Product Description
BAY 41-4109 is a potent inhibitor of human hepatitis B virus ( HBV ) with an IC 50 of 53 nM.
In Vitro
BAY 41-4109 is able to both accelerate and misdirect capsid assembly in vitro . Preformed capsids are stabilized by BAY 41-4109, up to a ratio of one inhibitor molecule per two dimers. BAY 41-4109 is equally effective at inhibiting HBV DNA release and the cytoplasmic HBcAg level, with IC 50 s of 32.6 and 132 nM in HepG2.2.15 cells, respectively. HBV DNA and HBcAg are inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the anti-HBV mechanisms are associated with and dependent on the rate of HBcAg inhibition. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
BAY 41-4109 reduces viral DNA in the liver and in the plasma dose-dependently with efficacy comparable to 3TC. BAY 41 -4109 reduces hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) in livers of HBV-transgenic mice. Pharmacokinetic studies in mice have shown rapid absorption, a bioavailability of 30% and dose-proportional plasma concentrations, about 60% in rats and dogs .BAY41-4109 inhibits virus production in vivo by a mechanism that targets the viral capsid. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydropyrimidine carboxylic acids and derivatives. These are compounds containing a hydrogenated pyrimidine ring which bears a carboxylic acid group.
