Abstract
We evaluated the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase and HCV NS3/4A protease inhibition activities of a new set of proline-type fullerene derivatives. All of the compounds had the potential to inhibit both the enzymes, indicating that the fullerene derivatives may be dual inhibitors against NS5B and NS3/4A and could be novel lead compounds for the treatment of HCV infections.
