AT-511 (Synonyms: AT-511)

AT-511 is a potent and orally active HCV viral replication inhibitor. AT-511 is highly effective in the control of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection in vitro (EC90=0.47 μM). AT-511 has pangenotypic antiviral activity[1][2][3].

AT-511 has pan-genotypic antiviral activities that inhibits HCV genotype 1a (HCV GT1a), HCV GT1b, HCV GT2a, HCV GT3a, HCV GT4a, and HCV GT5a replication with EC50 values of 12.8 nM, 12.5 nM, 9.2 nM, 10.3 nM, 14.7 nM, and 28.5 nM, respectively[1].In normal human airway epithelial cells, the concentration of AT-511 required to inhibit replication of SARS-CoV-2 by EC90 is 0.47 μM, very similar to its EC90 against HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43 and SARS-CoV in Huh-7 cells[2].

When given orally to rats (500 mg/kg) and monkeys (30 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg or 300 mg/kg), AT-527 preferentially delivers high levels of AT-9010 in the liver in vivo[1].
