Overview

Dasabuvir is a direct-acting antiviral drug used as part of combination therapy to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, specifically genotypes 1a and 1b. It is a non-nucleoside NS5B polymerase inhibitor that binds to the palm domain of the HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inducing a conformational change that prevents elongation of viral RNA. Dasabuvir must be used in combination with other antivirals such as ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir (with or without ribavirin), as monotherapy is not effective. The drug was developed by AbbVie and has been marketed under brand names including Viekira Pak and Viekira XR for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C[2][5][6].
