| Bioactivity | Miravirsen (SPC-3649) is a potent miR-122 inhibitor and inhibits the biogenesis of miR-122. Miravirsen is a 15-nucleotide locked nucleic acid-modified phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotide. Miravirsen inhibits HCV replication. Miravirsen can be used in research of HCV infection[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Miravirsen is thought to work mainly by hybridizing to mature miR-122 and blocking its interaction with HCV RNA, its target sequence is also present in pri- and pre-miR-122[1]. Miravirsen binds to the stem-loop structure of pri- and pre-miR-122 with nanomolar affinity, and inhibits both Dicer- and Drosha-mediated processing of miR-122 precursors[1]. |
