The chronic infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) inflicts 250 million people worldwide representing a major public health threat. A significant subpopulation of patients eventually develop cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, none of the current standard therapies for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) result in a satisfactory clinical cure rate. Driven by a highly unmet medical need, multiple pharmaceutical companies and research institutions have been engaged in drug discovery and development to improve the CHB functional cure rate, defined by sustainable viral suppression and HBsAg clearance after a finite treatment. This Review summarizes the recent advances in the discovery and development of novel anti-HBV small molecules. It is believed that an improved CHB functional cure rate may be accomplished via the combination of molecules with distinct MoAs. Thus, certain molecules may evolve into key components of a suitable combination therapy leading to superior outcome of clinical efficacy in the future.

发现小分子疗法可治疗慢性HBV感染

乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)的慢性感染在全世界造成2.5亿人的死亡,这是对公共健康的重大威胁。大量患者最终发展为肝硬化和肝细胞癌(HCC)。不幸的是,当前用于慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)的标准疗法均未达到令人满意的临床治愈率。在高度未满足的医疗需求的驱动下,多家制药公司和研究机构已参与药物研发,以提高CHB功能治愈率,这是由有限的治疗后可持续的病毒抑制和HBsAg清除定义的。这篇综述总结了发现和开发新型抗HBV小分子的最新进展。据信,可以通过将分子与不同的MoAs结合来提高CHB的功能固化率。因此,某些分子可能演变成合适的联合疗法的关键组成部分,从而在将来带来更高的临床疗效。
