Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Legalon® SIL (SIL) is a chemically hydrophilized version of silibinin that has exhibited high antiviral effectiveness against hepatitis C virus (HCV). Its main mode of action (MOA) remains unclear, with contradicting in vitro studies supporting either suppression of entry and cell-to-cell spread or suppression of viral RNA synthesis as the main MOA. We sought to provide new insights into SIL's...
