Development of SAR at the C2 position of indole lead 1, a palm site inhibitor of HCV NS5B polymerase (NS5B IC(50)=0.053μM, replicon EC(50)=4.8μM), is described. Initial screening identified an acyl sulfonamide moiety as an isostere for the C2 carboxylic acid group. Further SAR investigation resulted in identification of acyl sufonamide analog 7q (NS5B IC(50)=0.039μM, replicon EC(50)=0.011μM) with >100-fold improved replicon activity.

Background: Simplified approaches to HCV treatment delivery are needed to meet elimination goals. However, the impact of low-touch strategies on individuals at higher risk due to treatment failure or reinfection is unknown. We estimated HCV reinfection rates, and the impact of resistance associated substitutions (RASs) on response in the ACTG A5360 (MINMON) trial.

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) have a significant impact on the treatment of HCV with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). However, limited research has been conducted, and no standardized methods for detecting RASs in mainland China.

Objectives: To develop and apply a novel method for detecting HCV RASs in HCV RNA-positive patients in Linzhou, China.

Introduction: The rate of acute hepatitis C increased by 7% between 2020 and 2021, after the number of cases doubled between 2014 and 2020. With the current adoption of pan-genotypic HCV therapy, there is a need for improved availability and accessibility of this therapy. However, double and triple DAA-resistant variants have been identified in genotypes 1 and 5 with resistance-associated amino acid substitutions (RAASs) in NS3/4A, NS5A, and NS5B.

Hepatitis C still poses a threat to public safety, and there are few reports of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Heilongjiang Province. Therefore, we aimed to study the epidemiology and resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) of HCV in Heilongjiang and explore the efficacy of treatment. 7019 specimens from Heilongjiang Province were subjected to the genotype identification.

Introduction: The hepatitis C virus (HCV) poses a major global health challenge, with its non-structural proteins being essential for viral replication and pathogenesis. Mutations in these proteins significantly contribute to drug resistance, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies. This study aims to identify epitope-based therapeutic targets in the non-structural proteins of HCV genotype 1, employing in-depth in silico tools to counteract emerging drug resistance.
