  2. 1. Improved CoMFA Modeling by Optimization of Settings : Toward the Design of Inhibitors of the HCV NS3 Protease

    Author : Shane Peterson; Anders Karlén; Anja Sandström; Ulf Norinder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmaceutical chemistry; CoMFA; 3D-QSAR; model validation; Docking; SAR; hepatitis C virus; HCV; NS3 protease inhibitor; Farmaceutisk kemi;

    Abstract : The hepatitis C virus (HCV), with a global prevalence of roughly 2%, is among the most serious diseases today. Among the more promising HCV targets is the NS3 protease, for which several drug candidates have entered clinical trials. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis describes work done to design and synthesize protease inhibitors, with the intention of developing therapeutic agents for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the chronic liver condition caused by infection of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). AD is the most common form of dementia, and HCV infection is the primary reason for liver transplantation in industrialized countries. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards the elimination of hepatitis C : identifying the infected population, and remaining hepatitis C related risks after successful treatment

    Abstract : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an RNA virus that causes chronic infection, which can lead to hepatocellular carcinomas in humans. Besides liver diseases, the chronic HCV infection causes a broad spectrum of extrahepatic complications such as lymphoproliferative, metabolic and autoimmune disorders. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hepatitis C virus infection : a nationwide study of associated morbidity and mortality

    Author : Ann-Sofi Duberg; Erik Bäck; Karl Ekdahl; Rolf Hultcrantz; Anders Blaxhult; Johan Carlson; Örebro universitet; []
