JTK-853 is a novel, non-nucleoside inhibitor of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) polymerase. It also displays effective antiviral activity in HCV replicon cells (EC50s: 0.38 and 0.035 µM in genotype 1a H77 and 1b Con1 strains, respectively).
GSK-625433, a homochiral inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, has the ability to inhibit the polymerase of both HCV genotypes 1a and 1b.
Beclabuvir, also known as BMS-791325, is an allosteric inhibitor that binds to thumb site 1 of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. BMS-791325 inhibits recombinant NS5B proteins from HCV genotypes 1, 3, 4, and 5 at 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) below 28 nM. In cell culture, BMS-791325 inhibited replication of HCV subgenomic replicons representing genotypes 1a and 1b at 50% effective concentrations (EC50s) of 3 nM and 6 nM, respectively, with similar (3 to 18 nM) values for genotypes 3a, 4a, and 5a.

Deleobuvir sodium is the salt form of Deleobuvir, also known as BI207127, a non-nucleoside hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase inhibitor for the treatment of hepatitis C. Deleobuvir was tested in combination regimens with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, and in interferon-free regimens with other direct-acting antiviral agents including faldaprevir. Deleobuvir showed that a triple combination of deleobuvir, faldaprevir, and ribavirin performed well in HCV genotype 1b patients. Efficacy fell below 50%, however, for dual regimens without ribavirin and for genotype 1a patients. In December 2013, deleobuvir was discontinued since recent findings from phase III trials did not suggest sufficient efficacy.
