MK-5172 hydrate (Cat.No:I001344) is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor. It is used in combination with other antiviral agents to treat chronic HCV infection. MK-5172 works by inhibiting the activity of the NS3/4A protease, which is essential for viral replication. The hydrate form refers to the presence of water molecules in the compound’s crystal structure.
