Firzacorvir (ABI-H2158): A Comprehensive Monograph on a Potent HBV Core Inhibitor from Promising Clinical Candidate to Discontinuation

Section 1: Introduction and Synopsis

Executive Overview

Firzacorvir, known by its developmental designation ABI-H2158, is an investigational, orally bioavailable small molecule that was under development by Assembly Biosciences, Inc..[1] It was engineered as a second-generation therapeutic agent for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (cHBV) infection. As a member of the cyclic sulfamide chemical class, Firzacorvir was designed to function as a potent, pan-genotypic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) core protein inhibitor.[1] The HBV core protein is an essential, multifunctional viral protein with no human homologue, making it a highly attractive target for antiviral intervention.[4] Firzacorvir represented a significant advancement in the field, with preclinical data suggesting a powerful dual mechanism of action that held the potential to not only suppress viral replication but also to target the persistent viral reservoir, offering a tangible prospect for a functional cure for the millions affected by cHBV worldwide.[1]
