- Mechanism of action
The prodrug taribavirin (1-b-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-carboxamidine) is a synthetic nucleoside (guanosine) analog under development for the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Taribavirin is metabolized by the liver and converted into its active metabolite, ribavirin. This pathway reduces exposure to red blood cells (RBCs) and increases exposure to the liver, the site of HCV replication. [Valeant Website] Ribavirin is readily phosphorylated intracellularly by adenosine kinase to ribavirin mono-, di-, and triphosphate metabolites. Ribavirin triphosphate (RTP) is a potent competitive inhibitor of inosine monophosphate (IMP) dehydrogenase, viral RNA polymerase and messenger RNA (mRNA) guanylyltransferase (viral). Guanylyltranserase inhibition stops the capping of mRNA. These diverse effects result in a marked reduction of intracellular guanosine triphosphate (GTP) pools and inhibition of viral RNA and protein synthesis. Ribavirin is also incorporated into the viral genome causing lethal mutagenesis and a subsequent decrease in specific viral infectivity.
