Abstract

The invention concerns the use of cyclophilin inhibitors in the treatment of Hepatitis C virus genotype 2 or 3 infection.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to non-immunosuppressive cyclosporins conjugated to cyclophilins, which are cyclophilin inhibitors, and in particular to the pharmaceutical use of these cyclophilin inhibitors in the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection. [0002] Cyclosporins comprise a structurally distinct class of cyclic poly-N-methylated undecapeptides, which generally possess pharmacological (particularly immunosuppressive or anti-inflammatory) activity. The first cyclosporin to be isolated was the natural fungal metabolite cyclosporine A (Ciclosporin, Cyclosporine, CsA). [0003] Cyclosporine has been identified that binds strongly to cyclophilins but is not immunosuppressive. PCT / EP2004 / 009804, WO2005 / 021028, or WO2006 / 071619 (these are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety) disclose non-immunosuppressive cyclosporines that bind cyclophilins and have also been found to be effective against hepatitis C Virus (HCV) has an ...
