[Preclinical study of safety of the new pharmacological substance AV0012 to treat hepatitis C].
Pharmacological safety of a new type of HCV inhibitor, AV0012, was studied including acute, subchronic and chronic toxicity in mice, rats and monkeys. Genotoxicity was assessed using the Ames test and the chromosomal aberrations assay in the bone marrow cells of mice. It is established that AV0012 has low toxicity in SHK line mice, Wistar line rats, and monkey of Rhesus macaques species. Results obtained in the study of genetic toxicity showed that AV0012 exhibits no mutagenic activity. Data on general toxicity and mutagenicity discussed in this paper, together with data on 1 the pharmacological activity, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism published previously, allow us to consider AV0012 as a candidate drug for clinical research phase I.
