Longitudinal genotype analysis and quantification of hepatitis C virus in haemophilic patients receiving interferon-alpha therapy.

abstract：:Phytochemicals exert antiviral activity and may play a potential therapeutic role in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In this work, we aimed to isolate NS3 inhibitors from traditional Indian medicinal plants that were found, in our earlier study, to inhibit HCV NS3 protease activity and to evaluate their potential t...
