Abstract

A method and composition for treating a host infected with hepatitis C comprising administering an effective hepatitis C treatment amount of a described 1′, 2′ or 3′-modified nucleoside or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, is provided.

Claims (36)

1. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a human in need thereof, comprising administering to said human an antivirally effective amount β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.

2. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a human in need thereof, comprising administering to said human an antivirally effective amount of a β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.

3. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a human in need thereof, comprising administering to said human an antivirally effective amount of a β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.

4. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a human in need thereof, comprising administering to said human an antivirally effective amount of a β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

5. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a human in need thereof, comprising administering to said human an antivirally effective amount of a β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

6. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a human in need thereof, comprising administering to said human an antivirally effective amount of a β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

7. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a host in need thereof, comprising administering to said host an antivirally effective amount of a β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

8. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a host in need thereof, comprising administering to said host an antivirally effective amount of a β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

9. A method for treatment of a Hepatitis C virus infection in a host in need thereof, comprising administering to said host an antivirally effective amount of a β-D nucleoside compound of the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

10. The method of any one claims 7 , 8 , 9 , or 1 - 6 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is suitable for oral delivery.

11. The method of any one claims 7 , 8 , 9 , or 1 - 6 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is suitable for intravenous delivery.
