a

C24, concentration at 24 h postdose; GT, genotype; L, liver; LLOQ, lower limit of quantification; ND, not determined; T, tissue; P, plasma.

b

Mice (n = 3 per time point) were dosed at 5 mg/kg and monitored for 24 h, rats (n = 2 per time point) were dosed at 15 mg/kg PO and monitored for up to 72 h postdose, dogs (n = 1 per time point) were dosed at 6 mg/kg PO and monitored for up to 72 h, and monkeys (n = 1 or 2 per time point) were dosed at 10 mg/kg PO and monitored for up to 30 h postdose. Average values are shown for rats and monkeys, whereas only single values were obtained for dogs.

c

Fold EC50 multiples of ASV were calculated by dividing the C24 value by the EC50 for ASV in HCV genotype 1a replicons (EC50 ≈ 4 nM). Values in parentheses represent a similar calculation using the ASV EC50 in 40% human serum (EC50 ≈ 26 nM).

d

Average ± standard deviation.

e

Liver-to-serum ratio was determined.
