Chemistry:Alisporivir

From HandWiki

Alisporivir (INN), or Debio 025, DEB025, (or UNIL-025) is a cyclophilin inhibitor.[1] Its structure is reminiscent of, and synthesized from ciclosporin.[citation needed]

It inhibits cyclophilin A.[2] Alisporivir is not immunosuppressive.[3]

It is being researched for potential use in the treatment of hepatitis C.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] It has also been investigated for Duchenne muscular dystrophy[1] and may have therapeutic potential in Alzheimer's disease.[11]

Alisporivir is under development by Debiopharm for Japan and by Novartis for the rest of the world (licence granted by Debiopharm) since February 2010.[citation needed]
