Description

D-Alanine is a small-molecule drug that inhibits the hepatitis B virus. It has been shown to decrease the levels of HBV-DNA in chronic hepatitis patients. D-Alanine may be effective for reducing hepatic steatosis and improving liver function, which may be due to its ability to reduce the expression of δ receptors. D-Alanine can inhibit viral replication by interfering with the polymerase chain reaction and inhibiting human serum albumin from binding to HBV-DNA. D-alanine also has an antioxidant effect and can scavenge anion radicals.
