Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein is an integral part of HBV nucleocapsid, which is involved in viral packaging, viral maturation and viral releasing to the outside of cells. Core protein participates in regulation of cccDNA function and the induction of immune responses. This paper summarizes the research progress of targeting hepatitis B virus core protein in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in recent years, starting from the structure and function of HBV core protein and the progress in the treatment of HBV. All of these indicate that core protein allosteric modulators (CpAMs) can directly interfere with the activity of HBV core protein as anti-HBV drugs, and the use of HBV core protein as a target antigen to induce HBV-specific immune responses has anti-HBV and immunomodulatory effects.These provide a theoretical reference for the development of treatment for chronic hepatitis B.
