Resistance to hepatitis C virus protease inhibitors.
Significant scientific advances have enabled the development of new classes of antivirals for the treatment of HCV. Protease inhibitors were the first approved, achieving substantially higher response rates, with shorter treatment durations, in the majority of genotype 1 infected patients. However, in patients who fail treatment, drug resistant variants frequently emerge. The pattern of resista...
متن کاملThe Therapeutic Approaches for Hepatitis C Virus: Protease Inhibitors and Polymerase Inhibitors
The current standard of care for hepatitis C infection is peginterferon/ribavirin (PegIFN/RBV). We are entering the era where direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) will be added to PegIFN/RBV, leading to higher sustained response rates in genotype 1 infected individuals. Currently DAAs are directed toward specific proteins involved in hepatitis C replication with NS3/NS4A protease inhibitors fu...
متن کاملThe hepatitis C virus NS2/3 protease.
The hepatitis C virus NS2/3 protein is a highly hydrophobic protease responsible for the cleavage of the viral polypeptide between non-structural proteins NS2 and NS3. However, many aspects of the NS2/3 protease's role in the viral life cycle and mechanism of action remain unknown. Based on the recently elucidated crystal structure of NS2, NS2/3 has been proposed to function as a cysteine prote...
متن کاملProvisional guidance on the use of hepatitis C virus protease inhibitors for treatment of hepatitis C in HIV-infected persons.
In May 2011, hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitors (PIs) were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat persons with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, but not those dually infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although critical safety and efficacy data are lacking, the availability of the drugs and substantial medical need justify the off-lab...
