hepatitis b virus x protein (hbx)

IR415 选择性地与 HBx 相互作用 (Kd=2 nM) 并阻断 HBV 介导的 RNAi 抑制，逆转 HBx 蛋白对 Dicer 核糖核酸内切酶活性的抑制作用。IR415 具有抗 HBV 的活性。

DL-Acetylshikonin can effectively inhibit tumor cells, it can be used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma cells expressing hepatitis B virus X protein (HBX) by inducing ER stress , an oncoprotein from hepatitis B virus. Acetylshikonin inhibits the production of eicosanoid, is due to the attenuation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) membrane recruitment via the decrease in [Ca(2+)](i) and to the blockade of cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase activity.
