AUTHOR CONCLUSIONS
PMEO-DAPym inhibits viral DNA synthesis of the most common HBV drug resistant strains in vitro
Its inhibitory effect is comparable on the LAM-R, ADV-R, ETV-R and MDR harboring a complex pattern of polymerase gene mutations
PMEO-DAPym is an interesting candidate for pre-clinical evaluations in animal models of hepadnavirus infection
Perspective for clinical applications :
- rescue of multidrug resistant mutant infections,
- interesting cross-resistance profile for combination therapy to prevent drug resistance
INTRODUCTION
Main problems with antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis B:
-- Prolonged administration of antivirals
-- Selection of drug resistant mutants
-- Problem of cross-resistance
