A mathematical model for suppression of the hepatitis C virus RNA replicon replication in Huh-7 cell culture in the presence of potential drugs was built. There was a good agreement between the experimental and theoretical kinetic data for the decrease in the level of viral RNA in the cell in the presence of the competitive HCV NS3 protease inhibitor. Using the model, we verified the estimates for the efficiency of the effect of potential drugs on replication of viral RNA and viral protein processing.
