Bulevirtide is an entry inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and D virus infection. It acts by binding to and blocking the sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) receptor on hepatocytes, thereby preventing viral entry. Bulevirtide is approved for medical use in the European Union for chronic hepatitis D infection in adults with compensated liver disease.
