| Bioactivity | 4-Phenoxybenzylamine inhibits the function of the NS3 protein by stabilizing an inactive conformation with an IC50 of about 500 μM against FL NS3/4a. |
| Target | IC50: 500 μM (FL NS3/4a) |
| Invitro | A highly conserved novel binding site located at the interface between the protease and helicase domains of the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) NS3 protein is identified. 4-Phenoxybenzylamine binding at this allosteric site inhibits the function of the NS3 protein by stabilizing an inactive conformation and thus represents a new class of direct acting antiviral agents[1]. |
