Lomibuvir is a selective non-nucleoside inhibitor of the NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) associated with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). It targets the thumb pocket 2 of the NS5B polymerase with a binding affinity (Kd) of 17 nM and effectively inhibits HCV replication, demonstrated by an EC50 value of 5.2 nM in the 1b/Con1 subgenomic replicon model. Lomibuvir primarily interferes with the elongation phase of RNA synthesis, making it a valuable tool for studying HCV replication mechanisms and developing antiviral therapies.
