We recently identified a compound, clemizole hydrochloride, that inhibits NS4B’s RNA binding and HCV replication. Although significant, clemizole’s antiviral effect is moderate (8μM EC50 against an HCV-2a clone). We hypothesized that combination of clemizole with other anti-HCV agents can increase the antiviral effect over that achieved with each drug alone, and could also decrease emergence of viral resistance. Luciferase reporter-linked HCV replication assays were used to study the antiviral effects of drug combinations including clemizole. Data was analyzed using Loewe additivity and Bliss independence models for synergy, and resistance studies were performed using HCV colony formation assays. Clemizole’s antiviral effect was highly synergistic with the HCV protease inhibitors SCH503034 and VX950, without toxicity. In contrast, combinations of clemizole with either interferon, ribavirin, or the nucleoside (NM283) and non-nucleoside (HCV796) HCV polymerase inhibitors were additive. Furthermore, combination of clemizole with SCH503034 decreased the frequency of resistant mutants compared to treatment with either drug alone. Finally, no cross resistance to clemizole of SCH503034-resistant mutants (or vice versa) was observed. Clemizole can yield high level synergy with the protease inhibitors class. Inclusion of clemizole in future anti-HCV cocktails can represent an attractive paradigm for increasing current virologic response rates.
