PSI-6130 is an experimental treatment for hepatitis C. PSI-6130 is a member of a class of antiviral drugs known as nucleoside polymerase inhibitors that was created by chemist Jeremy L. Clark.[1] Specifically, PSI-6130 inhibits the hepatitis C virus RNA dependant RNA polymerase called NS5B.[2]

PSI-6130 is currently being developed by Hoffmann–La Roche as a 3',5'-diisobutyrl ester prodrug, R7128.[3] R7128 is part of the combination of all-oral agents clinical trial known as INFORM-1.[4]
