    Abstract
  • Hepatitis B is a chronic infectious disease caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, with liver inflammatory lesions as the main clinical manifestation, and continuous replication of HBV can lead to abnormal liver function, liver cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. At present, a variety of anti-HBV drugs have been applied in clinical practice, but no satisfactory therapeutic effect has been achieved. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new anti-HBV drugs and constantly update the concept of anti-HBV treatment. This article reviews the research advances in anti-HBV drugs and drugs that block the interaction between the host and the virus, proposes the new idea of the combination of anti-HBV drugs and the drugs blocking the interaction between the host and the virus, and looks into the future of the development of new drugs against HBV, so as to improve the cure rate of hepatitis B.
