Chemistry:Bersacapavir

From HandWiki

Bersacapavir is an experimental drug for the treatment of hepatitis B.[1] It prevents hepatitis B virus (HBV) from replicating by inhibiting the formation of its capsid.[2] It is also being studied for use in combination with JNJ-73763989, a small interfering RNA that targets HBV RNAs.[3]

It can be synthesized beginning with N-methylpyrrole.[4][5]
