Effect of artemisinin/artesunate as inhibitors of hepatitis B

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16122816

i found artesunate is used by many patients for other viruses since it has braod antiviral specturm, i will check with them safe doses (should be same as for malaria treatment) and experienced sides.
alt/ast must be stricly tested weekly or monthly to detect any liver damage for those with normal alt/ast and this compound must be avoided in case of severe liver damage/fibrosis/cirrhosis

i though this drug might have heavy sides but it looks like it has no relevant sides...maybe it is not easily found because low cost (drug developped and used from a long time in china).it is the most potent against malaria

both ntz and artesunate available for other diseases, we have to try them ourselves and make all the blood tests as in a trial (pretty easy to do), nobody is going to invest on hbv research, too much money and no pay back.
ntz, gcmaf loo the most promising

as you can esily notice research is stopped since 2005 when entecavir appeared on the market with nosense price, no new drugs since then, they are not going to move a penny until 2017 when patents will expire and indian generics will get all the market.

the drug industry is just business nothing to do with curing people
