Potent and Specific Inhibition of NTCP-Mediated HBV/HDV Infection and Substrate Transporting by a Novel, Oral-Available Cyclosporine A Analogue

Analogues of the natural product cyclosporine A (CsA) were developed and assessed as antivirals against infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and its satellite hepatitis D virus (HDV). An analogue termed 27A exhibits potent inhibition of HBV/HDV infection by specifically blocking viral engagement to its cellular receptor NTCP, while it lacks immunosuppressive activity found in natural CsA. Intraperitoneal injection or oral intake of 27A protects HDV-susceptible mouse model from HDV infection. 27A serves as a promising lead for the development of novel anti-HDV/HBV agents.

Cat.No. Product Name Information
S2286 Cyclosporin A Cyclosporin A, a non-polar cyclic oligopeptide, is an immunosuppressive agent that binds to cyclophilin and then inhibits calcineurin with IC50 of 7 nM in a cell-free assay. Cyclosporin A is generally given following transplant surgery to prevent rejection and has been used to test its toxic effect on a perfused 3D proximal tubule model.Cyclosporin A (NSC 290193) can be used to induce animal models of Chronic Rejection of Liver Transplantation.
