Prediction of the SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) 3C-like protease (3CLpro) structure: virtual screening reveals velpatasvir, ledipasvir, and other drug repurposing candidates [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
We prepared the three-dimensional model of the SARS-CoV-2 (aka 2019-nCoV) 3C-like protease (3CLpro) using the crystal structure of the highly similar (96% identity) ortholog from the SARS-CoV. All residues involved in the catalysis, substrate binding and

Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir: A promising combination
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects 3% of the world population. It represents the main cause of chronic liver disease and is responsible for extra-hepatic complications, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. HCV includes 7 genotypes differing in the nucleotide sequence variability, the geographic distribution, the rates of viral clearance ...

Safety and Drug-Drug Interaction Burden of Direct-Acting Antiviral Therapy for Hepatitis C: A Single-Center Community Hospital Analysis. [PDF]
Background Polypharmacy leads to drug–drug interactions (DDIs) with direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs). We quantified the DDI burden (Liverpool categories) and evaluated its association with effectiveness and safety. We assessed renal function as a predictor of adverse events (AEs) and reported loss to follow‐up (LTFU). Methods We retrospectively analyzed
