  • Publication number: 20130157894
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the surprising finding that pairs of HCV NS5A-targeting inhibitors can be identified which display similar resistance profiles yet, when combined, exhibit synergistic inhibition of wild type replicons and/or replicons carrying mutations conferring resistance to the HCV NS5A-targeting inhibitor. In addition, combinations of these molecules result in a higher genetic barrier to resistance, demonstrating their potential utility as novel combination therapies for treatment of HCV.
