Ganglioside GT1b is a trisialoganglioside that is characterized by having two sialic residues linked to the inner galactose unit. It binds to the neurotoxins botulinum toxin serotype A (BTxA), BTxA heavy chain, and tetanus toxin with IC50 values of 11, 0.74, and 7.2 μM, respectively.[1] Ganglioside GT1b-containing liposomes bind to the major coat protein VP1 from Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), which has been identified in Merkel cell carcinomas, identifying ganglioside GT1b as a putative MCPyV receptor. [2] Ganglioside GT1b decreases production of IL-6, IL-10, IgG, IgM, and IgA in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by 31.4, 30.5, 60, 59.5, and 58%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 10 μM [3] . Ganglioside GT1b mixture contains ganglioside GT1b molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 sphingoid backbones.
PSI-7409 tetrasodium is an active 5'-triphosphate metabolite of sofosbuvir (PSI-7977)(IC50s of 1.6, 2.8, 0.7 and 2.6 μM for GT1b_Con1, GT 2a_JFH1, GT 3a, and GT 4a NS5B polymerases, respectively).
Grazoprevir is a drug approved for the treatment of hepatitis C. Grazoprevir is a second-generation hepatitis C virus protease inhibitor acting at the NS3 4a protease targets.
Grazoprevir, a second generation hepatitis C virus protease inhibitor acting at the NS3/4a protease targets, has good activity against a range of hepatitis C virus genotype variants, including some that are resistant to most currently used antiviral medic
ABT-072, also known as potassium trihydrate, is a highly effective non-nucleoside inhibitor of the HCV NS5B polymerase, administered orally. This compound exhibits potent activity against HCV GT1a (with an EC50 of 1 nM) and HCV GT1b (with an EC50 of 0.3 nM).
