  • Publication number: 20230248723
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel therapeutic agents against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, particularly inhibitors of viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) which is the key barrier for HBV cure. Accordingly, the invention provides the pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine compounds of formula (I), as described and defined herein, for use in the treatment of HBV infection. The compounds provided herein are highly potent against HBV infection and enable an improved therapy, particularly of chronic HBV infection and HBV rebound. The present invention further relates to a novel screening assay for the identification of therapeutic agents against HBV infection, particularly cccDNA inhibitors, which is performed in hepatocyte-like cells that recapitulate the complete HBV life cycle following infection with patient-derived HBV.

  • Publication number: 20220251556
    Abstract: Enhanced antisense oligonucleotides targeting Regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 (RTEL1), leading to modulation of the expression of RTEL1 or modulation of RTEL1 activity are provided. This disclosure relates to the use of enhanced antisense oligonucleotides targeting RTEL1 for use in treating and/or preventing a hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, in particular a chronic HBV infection. This disclosure further relates to the use of the enhanced antisense oligonucleotides targeting RTEL1 for destabilizing cccDNA, such as HBV cccDNA. A pharmaceutical composition and its use in the treatment and/or prevention of a HBV infection is also described.
