Mechanism of Action

LEDIPASVIR
Ledipasvir is an inhibitor of the hepatitis c virus (hcv) ns5a protein required for viral rna replication and assembly of hcv virions. Although its exact mechanism of action is unknown, it is postulated to prevent hyperphosphorylation of ns5a which is required for viral production. It is effective against genotypes 1a, 1b, 4a, and 5a and with a lesser activity against genotypes 2a and 3a of hcv
SOFOSBUVIR
Sofosbuvir is nucleotide analog inhibitor, which specifically inhibits hcv ns5b polymerase. Sofosbuvir prevents hcv viral replication by binding to the two mg2+ ions present in hcv ns5b polymerase's gdd active site motif
