Methods of treating a dengue virus (DENV) infection in a human subject, comprising administering to the human subject a compound of Formula (I), or pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I): A compound of Formula (I) can be administered within onset of fever to 72 hours of fever onset due to dengue infection and then every 6 to 12 hours until there is an improvement in the infection or between from about 1 day to about 10 days. The methods of the invention can be used to treat primary and secondary DENV1-4 viral infections.

What is claimed is:

1. A method of treating a dengue virus (DENV) infection in a human subject, wherein the human subject is a child comprising:
a) administering to the human subject an initial dose of about 25 to about 450 mg of a compound of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (II), within from about onset of fever to about 72 hours of fever onset due to dengue infection; and
b) administering to the human subject a dose of about 25 to about 300 mg of a compound of Formula (II), or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (II), at intervals of from about 6 to about 24 hours between from about 1 day to about 10 days,
Formula (II) having the following structure,

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein dengue viral infection comprises at least one dengue virus selected from DENV1, DENV2, DENV3 and DENV4.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dengue viral infection is secondary dengue infection.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child to be treated is positive prior to treatment for a dengue infection using a NS1 strip assay or quantitative PCR.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound, or the pharmaceutical composition, is administered intravenously, orally, rectally, or sublingually.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child is administered an initial dose of about 75 mg to about 450 mg and a dose of about 75 mg to about 450 mg is thereafter administered to the human subject every 24 hours for about 1 day, about 2 days, or about 5 days.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child is administered an initial dose of about 75 mg to about 450 mg and a dose of about 38 mg to about 230 mg is thereafter administered to the human subject every 12 hours for about 1 day, about 2 days, or about 5 days.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child is administered an initial dose of about 75 mg to about 450 mg and a dose of about 25 mg to about 150 mg is thereafter administered to the human subject every 8 hours for about 1 day, about 2 days, or about 5 days.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child is administered an initial dose of about 75 mg to about 450 mg and a dose of about 25 mg to about 100 mg is thereafter administered to the human subject every 6 hours for about 1 day, about 2 days, or about 5 days.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child is administered an initial dose of about 75 mg to about 300 mg and a dose of about 75 mg to about 200 mg is thereafter administered to the human subject every 24 hours for about 1 day, about 2 days, or about 5 days.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child is administered an initial dose of about 75 mg to about 300 mg and a dose of about 25 mg to about 200 mg is thereafter administered to the human subject every 12 hours for about 1 day, about 2 days, or about 5 days.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child is administered an initial dose of about 75 mg to about 300 mg and a dose of about 25 mg to about 150 mg is thereafter administered to the human subject every 8 hours for about 1 day, about 2 days, or about 5 days.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the child is administered an initial dose of about 75 mg to about 300 mg and a dose of about 25 mg to about 100 mg is thereafter administered to the human subject every 6 hours for about 1 day, about 2 days, or about 5 days.
