Ribavirin is used to treat hepatitis C but causes serious hemolytic anemia. The objective of the study was to develop a ribavirin prodrug to achieve liver-specific drug delivery and to reduce its off-target effect in red blood cells (RBCs). The approach aimed to target the human sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), which is a bile acid transporter predominately expressed in the liver. Six prodrugs with ribavirin conjugation at C-3 or C-24 of the bile acids were synthesized. In vitro uptake studies indicated that all six prodrugs were NTCP substrates. Metabolic studies in vitro indicated that ribavirin-l-Val-glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA) was able to release ribavirin in the mouse liver S9 fraction. Additionally, in vitro studies showed that ribavirin in RBC was reduced by 16.7-fold from prodrug compared with parent drug incubation. Moreover, almost no prodrug was present in RBC. In vivo study in mice also showed that ribavirin-l-Val-GCDCA could provide almost the same ribavirin exposure in the liver as ribavirin administration, but with about 1.8-fold less exposure of ribavirin in RBC, plasma, and kidney. Overall, the study suggested that ribavirin-l-Val-GCDCA has the potential to achieve ribavirin-specific liver delivery.

The union of HCV-796, a potent selective HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitor, and Ribavirin, a molecule with activities against a wide spectrum of viruses, resulted in a class of new anti-HCV agents with a sequential triple inhibitory mechanism.
