Abstract
Chronic hepatitis C is caused by flavi virus (RNA virus) and is the leading cause for cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver transplantation. The standard therapy of chronic hepatitis C is peg interferon α weekly plus oral-ribavirin daily is not effective in all patients and is limited by adverse effect. Therefore new investigational drugs are being developed and in pipeline. This article focuses on new investigational drugs that are presently in an advance stage of development also focuses on newer interferons, ribavirin analogue and anti apoptotic drug.
