Abstract

The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) ribonuclease H (RNase H) is an attractive but unexploited drug target. Here, we addressed three limitations to the current state of RNase H inhibitor development: (a) Efficacy has been assessed only in transfected cell lines. (b) Cytotoxicity data are from transformed cell lines rather than primary cells. (c) It is unknown how the compounds work against nucleos(t)ide analog resistant HBV strains.
