Virus Entry Inhibitors

This book focuses on the important discoveries of the small molecule-, peptide-, and protein-based virus entry inhibitors and discusses advance of the development of different type of virus entry inhibitors as a novel class of antiviral drugs for treatment and prevention of viral infection. It includes entry inhibitors of HIV,HeV, NiV, RSV, EBOV, HCoV, HBV, HCV, HDV, HPV, flavivirus and influenza virus, so on. This book aims at providing an updated knowledge on virus entry inhibitors.

Introducing the cutting-edge developments of the small molecule-, peptide-, and protein-based virus entry inhibitors Covering the virus entry inhibitors to HIV, HeV, RSV, EBOV, HCoV, HBV, HCV, HDV, HPV, flavivirus and influenza virus etc Serving as a valuable reference tool to students and researchers in virology and scientists in pharmaceutical companies
