Pathway Description
Voxilaprevir Action Pathway
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Voxilaprevir is a nonstructural protein 3 and 4a protease inhibitor used to treat Hepatitis C infections.
Hepatitis C virus lipoviroparticles enter target hepatocytes via receptor-mediated endocytosis. The lipoviroparticles attach to LDL-R and SR-B1, and then the virus binds to CD81 and subsequently claudin-1 and occludin, which mediate the late steps of viral entry. The virus is internalized by clathrin-dependent endocytosis. RNA is released from the mature Hepatitis C virion and translated at the rough endoplasmic reticulum into a single Genome polyprotein.
Voxilaprevir accumulates in the liver after uptake into hepatocytes via solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1. Voxilaprevir inhibits NS3/4A protease, which is an enzyme that cleaves the heptatitis C virus polyprotein downstream of the NS3 proteolytic site, which generates nonstructural proteins NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B. These proteins are required in viral RNA replication, therefore because of the inhibition of their formation, RNA replication cannot occur. Because RNA replication does not occur, the mature virion is unable to form.
