Our comprehensive review focuses on the treatment of hepatitis C virus in the context of hepatocellular carcinoma and vice versa, highlighting the ongoing complexity of this clinical scenario. There remain multiple unanswered questions... more
Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have been introduced for the treatment of hepatitis C virus, and the sustained virological response rate after DAAs was reported to be over 95%. Because of the high sustained virological response rate, the... more
Mathematical modeling studies at Harvard during the first weeks of the pandemic, using the Wuhan curve of cases, suggested that in order to bring Mister R-naught way below the number ONE, there was need to cut the social transmission... more
Covid-19, an infectious disease caused by coronavirus spreads by salivary droplets or nasal discharge from an infected person during sneezing or coughing. This infectious disease is caused by a novel coronavirus, SARS CoV-2 shares the... more
En este capítulo se estudian los aspectos farmacológicos de los distintos grupos de antivirales –considerados desde el punto de vista de su mecanismo de acción– de que se dispone actualmente.
Aim: Despite the high cure rate of interferon-free directly acting antivirals (DAAs) for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients, the treatment efficacy for patients with preexisting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains undefined. We aimed... more
Influenza pandemics present a global threat owing to their potential mortality and substantial economic impacts. Stockpiling antiviral drugs to manage a pandemic is an effective strategy to offset their negative impacts; however, little... more

ABSTRACT: SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) is the aetiological agent behind the current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2 main protease plays a dynamic role in mediating viral... more
Aim: Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) soon after treatment with direct antiviral agents (DAA) may have been harboring hitherto hidden tumors. If this were true, they should... more
The current pandemic of COVID-19 is considered a worldwide threat to public health caused by a novel type of coronaviridae family called SARS-CoV-2. Owing to the urge of finding a treatment for this virulent virus, many aspects of drug... more
Antiviral drugs could be a critical tool for addressing the next phase of the pandemic, one that will be characterized by the emergence of new viral variants. Broad-spectrum antivirals, such as molnupiravir, were identified when... more
