<br/><br/> Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) is a global health crisis, characterized by a virusmediated suppression of the host immune response. It is considered a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Egypt is considered to have the highest prevalence of HCV globally (17%), where the majority of cases are infected with the " difficutlt-to-treat" genotype 4.p7 is viral protein that acts as an ion channel and has a crucial role in HCV life cycle, rendering it an attractive therapeutic target.
