ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.

Overview

This review discusses the current anti-HBV drugs and potential novel HBV inhibitors. Despite the availability of interferon and nucleos(t)ide analogs, curing HBV remains challenging due to low sustained response rates and side effects. Research on novel inhibitors holds promise for developing effective and safe treatments for HBV.
