3 Fig. 2 Mode of action of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) and developmental milestones of approved DAAs. (A) DAA with different viral targets (NS3 protease inhibitors, nucleoside/nucleotide analogues and non-nucleoside inhibitors of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and NS5A inhibitors) have been developed in combination and leads to high efficacy, reduced risk of resistance and shorten treatment duration. (B) Development milestones of approved DAAs. DAA, direct-acting antiviral; DCV, daclatasvir; DSV, dasabuvir; EBV, elbasvir; GLE, glecaprevir; GRZ, grazoprevir; GT, genotype; LDV, ledipasvir; NS, non-structural protein; OMV, ombitasvir; PIB, pibrentasvir; PTV, paritaprevir; RBV, ribavirin; RTV, ritonavir; SMV, simeprevir; SOF, sofosbuvir; VEL, velpatasvir; VOX, voxilaprevir.
