Sofosbuvir is a Small Molecule owned by Gilead Sciences, and is involved in 167 clinical trials, of which 147 were completed, 18 are ongoing, and 2 are planned.
Sofosbuvir (GS-7977, PSI-7977) is an anti-hepatitis drug that inhibits nucleotide NS5B. The drug candidate inhibits the nucleotide analog polymerase enzyme of hepatitis C virus. Nucleoside analogue inhibitors bind to an allosteric site on HCV polymerase. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA dependent polymerase is essential for viral RNA replication. Therefore it is a prime target for development of HCV replication inhibitors. It involves the formation of the binary complex involving binding of polymerase leads to disruption of viral replication. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of hepatitis C virus is the catalytic subunit of the viral RNA amplification machinery and is an appealing target for the development of new therapeutic agents against HCV infection.
The revenue for Sofosbuvir is expected to reach a total of $46m through 2038. This change impacts the valuation of this asset and is an important factor to understand the current value of the drug in a clinical process. View the complete picture with the Sofosbuvir NPV Report.
