Inhibition of HBV Transcription From cccDNA With Nitazoxanide by Targeting the HBx–DDB1 Interaction
24 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major health concern worldwide. Although currently used nucleos(t)ide analogs efficiently inhibit viral replication, viral proteins transcribed from the episomal viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) minichromosome continue to be expressed long-term. Because high viral RNA or antigen loads may play a biological role during this chronicity, the...
