Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major focus of antiviral research worldwide. The International Coalition to Eliminate HBV, together with the World Health Organisation (WHO), have prioritised the search for a cure, with the goal of eliminating deaths from viral hepatitis by 2030. We present here a comprehensive model of intracellular HBV infection dynamics that includes all molecular processes currently targeted by drugs and agrees well with the observed outcomes of several clinical studies. The model reveals previously unsuspected kinetic behaviour in the formation of sub-viral particles, which could lead to a better understanding of the immune responses to infection. It also enables rapid comparative assessment of the impact of different treatment options and their potential synergies as combination therapies. A comparison of available and currently developed treatment options reveals that combinations of multiple capsid assembly inhibitors perform best.

Keywords: antiviral therapy; hepatitis B virus; intracellular model; packaging signal; virus assembly.

抽象

乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）是全球抗病毒研究的主要重点。国际消除HBV联盟与世界卫生组织（WHO）一起优先寻求治疗方法，目标是到2030年消除病毒性肝炎死亡。目前所有药物靶向的分子过程均与数项临床研究的观察结果相吻合。该模型揭示了亚病毒颗粒形成过程中先前未曾预料到的动力学行为，这可能导致人们更好地理解对感染的免疫反应。它还可以快速比较评估不同治疗方案的影响及其作为联合疗法的潜在协同作用。比较可用的治疗方案和当前开发的治疗方案表明，多种衣壳装配抑制剂的组合效果最佳。
