Overview

ABI-1179 and ABI-5366 are novel, long-acting small molecule inhibitors of the viral helicase-primase enzyme complex, which is essential for the replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV). Developed through a collaboration between Assembly Biosciences and Gilead Sciences, with historical licensing roots involving Medivir, these compounds are designed to improve chronic suppressive therapy for recurrent genital herpes (HSV-2). Both assets are currently in Phase 1b clinical trials and have demonstrated pharmacokinetic profiles supportive of once-weekly oral dosing, potentially offering a significant improvement over current daily antiviral therapies by providing sustained viral suppression and improved clinical outcomes.
