Victrelis
Victrelis (boceprevir) is an antiviral Hepatitis C medication approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2011. Victrelis is an inhibitor of the non-structural protein 3 (NS3) serine protease. The medication inhibits viral replication in Hepatitis C virus infected cells. [1]
Disease
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne, single-stranded RNA virus that attacks the liver[2][3]. If left untreated, an acute Hepatitis C infection could lead to chronic hepatitis, liver failure, or liver cancer [4].
Serine Protease NS3
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is a common intermediate that is found in any given life cycle of many viruses, is a trigger of the immune response[5].
