Description: Sofosbuvir, also known as PSI-7977 and GS7977 (brand names Sovaldi and Virunon), is a drug used for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, with a high cure rate. It inhibits the RNA polymerase that the hepatitis C virus uses to replicate its RNA. It was discovered at Pharmasset and developed by Gilead Sciences. Sofosbuvir is a component of the first all-oral, interferon-free regimen approved for treating chronic Hepatitis C. In 2013, the FDA approved sofosbuvir in combination with ribavirin (RBV) for oral dual therapy of HCV genotypes 2 and 3, and for triple therapy with injected pegylated interferon (pegIFN) and RBV for treatment-naive patients with HCV genotypes 1 and 4.

More Info: Sofosbuvir treatment regimens last 12 weeks for genotypes 1, 2 and 4, compared to 24 weeks for treatment of genotype 3. The label further states that sofosbuvir in combination with ribavirin may be considered for patients infected with genotype 1 who are interferon-ineligible. Sofosbuvir will cost $84,000 for 12 weeks of treatment and $168,000 for the 24 weeks, which some patient advocates have criticized as unaffordable. Interferon-free therapy for treatment of hepatitis C eliminates the substantial side-effects associated with use of interferon. Up to half of hepatitis C patients cannot tolerate the use of interferon. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofosbuvir).        

Biological target: Sofosbuvir (GS-7977) is an HCV RNA replication inhibitor with an EC50 of 92 nM.
In vitro activity: On this account, this study first confirmed the increase in the phosphorylation of EGFR in response to SOF (sofosbuvir) stimulation, which in turn led to an enhanced expression of EGFR after a four-day exposure to the drug. This is consistent with previous findings showing that prolonged activation of EGFR enhances EGFR transcription through proteins downstream in the EGFR signaling pathway. Next, by introducing an EGFR inhibitor during SOF treatment, this study reversed the pro-survival outcome mediated by EGFR activation and directed cells towards apoptosis. By detecting an increase of phosphorylated EGFR in the nucleus, this study validated our proposed model: As a result of the active TP form of SOF in hepatoma cells, EGFR is activated and translocated into the nucleus, where it enhances the transcription of pro-survival genes.

In vivo activity: Mice with impaired innate immune response, due to the lack of type I interferon receptor (A129-/-), were infected with WT YFV (yellow fever virus) and treated with sofosbuvir at 20 mg/kg/day, again beginning one day before (pre-treatment) or after (post-treatment) infection. Results show that inoculation with 4 x 104 and 4 x 103 PFUs caused 100% mortality within one week along with massive loss in body weight (Fig 8). At these high virus inputs, pre-treatment with sofosbuvir enhanced the mean time of survival by 57%, although mortality was the final outcome for all mice (Fig 8A and 8B). At a virus dose able to cause 50% of mortality, 4 x 102 PFU, pre-treatment with sofosbuvir enhanced survival significantly (Fig 8C).Taking this last condition as reference, infectious viral titers were measured in different organs, along with serum ALT levels, liver histopathology, and white cell counts. WT YFV replicated in different anatomical compartments of the A129-/-, like peripheral blood, liver, spleen and kidney (Fig 9A–9D). In parallel to viscerotropic replication, animals rapidly progress to high virus titers in the brain (Fig 9E). Pre-treatment with sofosbuvir reduced the virus levels in the brain of the infected mice by 2-log (Fig 9E), along with leucocytosis (Fig 9F). Hepatic condition was improved in sofosbuvir-treated mice, regardless of the regimen, indicated by measuring ALT levels (Fig 9G) and liver injury (Fig 9H and 9I).
