Filibuvir is an orally active, selective non-nucleoside inhibitor of the HCV nonstructural 5B protein (NS5B) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) . Filibuvir binds noncovalently in the thumb II allosteric pocket of NS5B. Filibuvir inhibits genotype 1a and 1b replicons with EC50s of 59 nM for both isoforms, respectively[1]. Filibuvir preferentially inhibits elongative RNA synthesis and potently decreases viral RNA accumulation[2].
