A Small Molecule, 4-Phenylbutyric Acid, Suppresses HCV Replication via Epigenetically Induced Hepatic Hepcidin
Hepatic hepcidin is a well-known major iron regulator and has been reported to be closely related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. However, pharmacological targeting of the hepcidin in HCV replication has not been reported. A short-chain fatty acid, 4-Phenyl butyrate (4-PBA), is an acid chemi...
