Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of bi-cyclic pyrimidines as inhibitors of HCV replication as well as their use in pharmaceutical compositions aimed to treat or combat HCV infections. In addition, the present invention relates to processes for preparation of such pharmaceutical compositions. The present invention also concerns combinations of the present bi-cyclic pyrimidines with other anti-HCV agents.

Abstract: A method and system for treating Hepatitis C includes using an implantable pump and an outlet catheter. A proximal end of the outlet catheter is fluidly connected to an outlet port of the pump. A distal end of the outlet catheter is sized to deliver medication from the pump to a liver of living organism, preferably a human being. By delivering medication directly to the liver the effects of the antiviral therapeutics are enhanced, and the impact of Hepatitis C infection is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes nucleic acid microarray technology to identify changes in the host endothelial cell transcription pattern that occurs during the latent and lytic phase of the KSHV life cycle. The production or activity of some genes up regulated during the lytic cycle were subsequently inhibited, and two such targets were shown to have a role in expression of late viral genes. Using this combined approach we have identified cellular pathways previously unknown to be important for KSHV infection, and present evidence for the efficiency of the novel antiviral approaches thus discovered. In addition, the present invention identifies a wide variety of endothelial cells genes and pathways that are involved in a variety of endothelial cell-mediated activity, including angiogenesis and transformation.
