Abstract excerpt
The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the key enzyme for viral replication, recognized as one of the promising targets for antiviral intervention. Several of the known non-nucleoside HCV polymerase inhibitors (NNIs) identified by screening approaches show limitations in the coverage of all six major HCV genotypes (GTs). Genotypic profiling therefore has to be implemented early in the...
