PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR TREATING OR PREVENTING HCV INFECTION

摘要

The inventors examined an anti-HCV effect of an SPT inhibitor and/or interferon using an HCV subgenomic replicon cell FLR3-1 or an HCV infected chimeric mouse. As a result, it was found that myriocin, an SPT inhibitor, or a compound represented by the formula (III) can be a novel therapeutic agent for HCV infection and that a higher HCV replication inhibitory effect can be obtained by concomitantly using the SPT inhibitor and interferon.
