Alisporivir (INN), or Debio 025, DEB025, (or UNIL-025) is a cyclophilin inhibitor.[1] Its structure is reminiscent of, and synthesized from ciclosporin.

It inhibits cyclophilin A.[2] Alisporivir is not immunosuppressive.[3]

It is being researched for potential use in the treatment of hepatitis C.[4][5] It has also been investigated for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.[1]

Alisporivir is under development by Debiopharm for Japan and by Novartis for the rest of the world (licence granted by Debiopharm) since February 2010.
