An object of the present invention is to provide a novel anti-HCV agent that exerts a strong anti-HCV activity without being affected by the genetic diversity of the virus. The above problems are solved by a novel anti-HCV agent containing a peroxide derivative represented by the general formula (I) as an active ingredient. In general formula (I), C represents an optionally substituted alicyclic hydrocarbon ring group, n represents an integer of 1 to 6, and R represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyalkyl group. The peroxide derivative exhibits strong anti-HCV activity by significantly suppressing RNA replication of HCV. [Selection] Figure 1 |
