It's interesting that Ivermectin - lice shampoo drug that the team at Monash uni found to be effective against coronavirus - has wide-ranging ion homeostasis activities. Checking recent publications there can be a link to activity of Ivermectin and E viroporins.... and perhaps Biotron? Ivermectin is well known to affect Cl− pumps during the HCV replication cycle. Viroporins transport different ions but appear to be largely selective for the positively charged ions H+, K+, Na+, Ca2+. But viroporins can also transport anions. A recent study showed that Ivermectin was found to activate a novel target, the G‐protein‐gated inwardly rectifying K+ channel, which is very important in E protein function. There's also a strong requirement for chloride channel function during the Hepatitis C virus life cycle.
