Structure Based Design And Synthesis Of Potential Dengue Virus NS2B-NS3 Protease Inhibitors

Dengue is transmitted by the bite of a mosquito infected with one of the five dengue virus serotypes. As far as anti-dengue drug discovery is concerned, among few established therapeutic targets, NS2B-NS3 protease is quite popular due to its role in production of mature viruses and plays a key role...
