Core Tip |
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (or spread) is a serious public health challenge counting approximately 170 million people that are chronically infected world-wide. Efficient interferon-free treatments with new direct acting antivirals are expected to cure more than 90% of HCV-infected patients but they are not available in all the countries. Autophagy machinery is required to initiate HCV replication. Host antiviral therapy is an additional option for the treatment of HCV infection. The new autophagy inhibitor GNS-396 demonstrated significant efficacy and additive activity in inhibiting HCV replication and might be an additional option to treat HCV infected individuals. |
