Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.quora.com/How-was-Sovaldi-the-drug-now-being-marketed-by-Gilead-first-discovered-by-Pharmasset

Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analog inhibitor of hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase - the key enzyme mediating HCV RNA replication. Sofosbuvir is a prodrug and after ingestion it is rapidly converted to GS-331007, the predominant circulating drug that accounts for greater than 90% of the systemically active drug. The compound GS-331007 is efficiently taken up by hepatocytes, whereby cellular kinases convert GS-331007 to its pharmacologically active uridine analog 5’-triphosphate form (GS-461203). This triphosphate compound mimics the natural cellular uridine nucleotide and is incorporated by the HCV RNA polymerase into the elongating RNA primer strand, resulting in chain termination. The active form GS-461203 targets the NS5B catalytic site and acts as a non-obligate chain terminator. The active compound (GS-461203) does not inhibit host DNA polymerases, RNA polymerases, or mitochondrial RNA polymerase. Sofosbuvir (alone or in in combination with other medications) is used to treat Hepatitis C.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Drug derived radioactivity was detected in CNS tissues and testes at the 1 h time point in both albino and pigmented rats but was below the limitation of quantitation.The penetration of the blood-brain and blood-testes barriers appeared limited as the concentrations of drug derived radioactivity in these tissues were among the lowest along with bone, eye lens, and white adipose tissue. Human data not available.

Sample Use Guides

The recommended dosage of SOVALDI is one 400 mg tablet, taken orally, once daily with or without food.
Route of Administration: Oral
In HCV replicon assays, the EC50 values of sofosbuvir against full-length replicons from genotype 1a, 1b, 2a, 3a and 4a, and chimeric 1b replicons encoding NS5B from genotype 2b, 5a or 6a ranged from 0.014 to 0.11 micromolar. The median EC50 value of sofosbuvir against chimeric replicons encoding NS5B sequences from clinical isolates was 0.062 micromolar for genotype 1a (range 0.029–0.128 micromolar; N=67), 0.102 micromolar for genotype 1b (range 0.045–0.170 micromolar; N=29), 0.029 micromolar for genotype 2 (range 0.014–0.081 micromolar; N=15) and 0.081 micromolar for genotype 3a (range 0.024–0.181 micromolar; N=106). In infectious virus assays, the EC50 values of sofosbuvir against genotype 1a and 2a were 0.03 and 0.02 micromolar, respectively. The presence of 40% human serum had no effect on the anti-HCV activity of sofosbuvir. Evaluation of sofosbuvir in combination with interferon alpha or ribavirin showed no antagonistic effect in reducing HCV RNA levels in replicon cells.
