GS-6620

GS-6620 is an antiviral drug which is a nucleotide analogue. It was developed for the treatment of Hepatitis C but while it showed potent antiviral effects in early testing,[1][2] it could not be successfully formulated into an oral dosage form due to low and variable absorption in the intestines which made blood levels unpredictable.[3][4] It has however continued to be researched as a potential treatment for other viral diseases such as Ebola virus disease.[5][6]
