Antivirals that target the host IMPα/β1-virus interface
- BiologyBiochemical Society transactions
- 2021
Preliminary results for randomised clinical trials (RCTs) as well as observational/retrospective studies are consistent with ivermectin affording clinical benefit, and the results from rigorous RCTs will help determine the therapeutic potential of the IMPα/β1-virus interface as a target for antiviral development.

In vitro studies revealed that treatment of ivermectin and importazole resulted in reduced synthesis of viral proteins, diminished production of infectious virus particles, and decrease in viroplasm-positive cells, and Mechanistic study proved that both drugs perform antirotavirus activity by inhibiting the function of importin-β1.
Ivermectin effectively inhibits hepatitis E virus replication, requiring the host nuclear transport protein importin α1
- BiologyArchives of Virology

It is shown that ivermectin effectively inhibits infection with hepatitis E virus genotypes 1 and 3 in a range of cell culture models, including hepatic and extrahepatic cells, and that long-term treatment showed no clear evidence of the development of drug resistance.
Ivermectin Inhibits Bovine Herpesvirus 1 DNA Polymerase Nuclear Import and Interferes With Viral Replication
- BiologyMicroorganisms

DENV non-structural protein 5 (NS5) traffics into and out of the host cell nucleus/nucleolus, being observed in the nucleus, although to differing extents, very early in infection in the case of all 4 DENV serotypes; with results from both reverse genetics and inhibitor studies indicating that this trafficking is critical to DENV infection.

It is established for the first time that ivermectin has potent antiviral activity towards both HIV-1 and dengue virus, both of which are strongly reliant on importin α/β nuclear import, with respect to the HIV- 1 integrase and NS5 (non-structural protein 5) polymerase proteins respectively.
