Overview
Future or Investigational Therapies
Although the lack of viral enzymes represents a challenge in the development of antiviral drugs, the life cycle of HDV relies deeply on postranslational modification and viral assembly. Therefore, these two steps are potential targets of antiviral drugs.
Prenylation inhibitors are one example of antiviral drugs that target HDV replication cycle. These drugs have been used in cancer treatment, and are now being studied for hepatitis D treatment.
