Abstract
Nonstructural 5B (NS5B) polymerase and Nonstructural 3/4A (NS3/4A) protease have proven to be promising targets for the development of anti-HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) agents. The NS5B polymerase is of paramount importance in HCV viral replication; therefore, employing NS5B inhibitors was considered an effective way for the treatment of HCV. Identifying inhibitors against NS3/4A serine protease represents another attractive approach applied in anti-HCV drug discovery, which is evidenced by its crucial role of in the biogenesis of the viral replication activity. In this chapter, many different computational approaches including Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) and virtual screening in anti-HCV drug discovery were considered and discussed in detail. Virtual Screening (VS) techniques, including ligand-based and structure-based, and QSAR have been utilized for the discovery of NS5B inhibitors. Moreover, using various in silico protocols and workflows, a number of studies have been conducted with an aim of identifying potential NS3/4A blockage agents.
