VX-950 is an antiviral, inhibiting the NS3/4A serine protease. VX-950 rapidly decreases viral load by several orders of magnitude, shown in vitro, in vivo, and in clinical trials. This compound is used as a treatment for hepatitis C genotype 1, resulting in a higher rate of sustained virologic response than traditional therapies such as pegylated interferon plus ribavirin.
