Novel protease and polymerase inhibitors for the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection
Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2007

Present treatment consists of the use of pegylated interferon plus the purine analogue ribavirin. Serious side effects and the fact that an overall 40-50% of patients do not accomplish sustained virological response with the present treatment warrant the need for novel anti-HCV therapies. The HCV serine protease and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase have shown to be excellent targets for selective antiviral therapy. Early clinical studies have resulted in encouraging results. However, and not unexpectedly, preclinical evidence suggests that the virus may become rapidly resistant to such inhibitors. Therefore, combination therapy of drugs with different mode of action and resistance profiles may be required. This review focuses on the present status of these two families of HCV inhibitors that are in development.
