Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global threat to human health with an estimated 1.75 million new cases in 2015. Our previous studies showed that the ethyl acetate extraction of Daphne papyracea exhibited an inhibitory effect towards the HCV NS3/4A protease and eight compounds were identified
From Daphne odora Thunb., an ornamental shrub in the Republic of Korea, a potyvirus was identified that has an RNA genome of 9,448 nucleotides (excluding the 3'-terminal poly(A) tail) encoding a polyprotein of 3,065 amino acids, with nine putative protease cleavage sites producing ten proteins.
