This is the message they are attempting to convey, but I would take not the 4,000 figure too literally. We’ll know how selective ACH-1625 is for the HCV protease vs host proteases when we see the clinical data on side effects. Ditto for IDIX’s slide that asserts no inhibition of host proteases by IDX136/316.
I don’t know the answer, but it’s many more than eight.
