Non-COVID-19 in vitro study showing enhanced antiviral activity of ivermectin against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus when loaded into nanostructured lipid carriers. Ivermectin-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (IVM-NLCs) inhibited viral proliferation by up to 3 orders of magnitude compared to free ivermectin. IVM-NLCs also reduced reactive oxygen species accumulation, mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction, and decreased apoptosis in infected cells compared to free ivermectin. The enhanced efficacy is attributed to improved intracellular delivery of ivermectin by the nanostructured lipid carriers.
While this is not a COVID-19 study, the IVM-NLCs may potentially have similar advantages for COVID-19. As SARS-CoV-2 replicates inside host cells, improved intracellular delivery of ivermectin could be beneficial for COVID-19 treatment. IVM-NLCs reduced reactive oxygen species accumulation, mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction, and decreased apoptosis in PEDV-infected cells. These effects could potentially help to reduce the severity of COVID-19 by limiting virus-induced cell damage.

Enhanced In Vitro Antiviral Activity of Ivermectin-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers against Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus via Improved Intracellular Delivery
Pharmaceutics, doi:10.3390/pharmaceutics16050601
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an acute enteric coronavirus, inducing watery diarrhea and high mortality in piglets, leading to huge economic losses in global pig industry. Ivermectin (IVM), an FDA-approved antiparasitic agent, is characterized by high efficacy and wide applicability. However, the poor bioavailability limits its application. Since the virus is parasitized inside the host cells, increasing the intracellular drug uptake can improve antiviral efficacy. Hence, we aimed to develop nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to enhance the antiviral efficacy of IVM. The findings first revealed the capacity of IVM to inhibit the infectivity of PEDV by reducing viral replication with a certain direct inactivation effect. The as-prepared IVM-NLCs possessed hydrodynamic diameter of 153.5 nm with a zeta potential of -31.5 mV and high encapsulation efficiency (95.72%) and drug loading (11.17%). IVM interacted with lipids and was enveloped in lipid carriers with an amorphous state. Furthermore, its encapsulation in NLCs could enhance drug internalization. Meanwhile, IVM-NLCs inhibited PEDV proliferation by up to three orders of magnitude in terms of viral RNA copies, impeding the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and mitigating the mitochondrial dysfunction caused by PEDV infection. Moreover, IVM-NLCs markedly decreased the apoptosis rate of PEDV-induced Vero cells. Hence, IVM-NLCs showed superior inhibitory effect against PEDV compared to free IVM. Together, these results implied that NLCs is an efficient delivery system for IVM to improve its antiviral efficacy against PEDV via enhanced intracellular uptake.
to biological tests, IVM-NLCs exhibited stronger antiviral activity against PEDV than free IVM and reduced PEDV-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, which prevented ROS generation and improved viability of infected Vero cell. Moreover, IVM-NLCs also reduced PEDV-induced cell apoptosis rate. In view of the in vitro results, it would be necessary to carry out in vivo tests as soon as possible, to explore its potential in the clinical treatment of PEDV. Consequently, IVM-NLCs were demonstrated to be a potential drug against PEDV, which might provide a basis for the development of novel drugs to antagonize PEDV.

"abstract": "<jats:p>Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an acute enteric coronavirus, inducing watery diarrhea and high mortality in piglets, leading to huge economic losses in global pig industry. Ivermectin (IVM), an FDA-approved antiparasitic agent, is characterized by high efficacy and wide applicability. However, the poor bioavailability limits its application. Since the virus is parasitized inside the host cells, increasing the intracellular drug uptake can improve antiviral efficacy. Hence, we aimed to develop nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to enhance the antiviral efficacy of IVM. The findings first revealed the capacity of IVM to inhibit the infectivity of PEDV by reducing viral replication with a certain direct inactivation effect. The as-prepared IVM-NLCs possessed hydrodynamic diameter of 153.5 nm with a zeta potential of −31.5 mV and high encapsulation efficiency (95.72%) and drug loading (11.17%). IVM interacted with lipids and was enveloped in lipid carriers with an amorphous state. Furthermore, its encapsulation in NLCs could enhance drug internalization. Meanwhile, IVM-NLCs inhibited PEDV proliferation by up to three orders of magnitude in terms of viral RNA copies, impeding the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and mitigating the mitochondrial dysfunction caused by PEDV infection. Moreover, IVM-NLCs markedly decreased the apoptosis rate of PEDV-induced Vero cells. Hence, IVM-NLCs showed superior inhibitory effect against PEDV compared to free IVM. Together, these results implied that NLCs is an efficient delivery system for IVM to improve its antiviral efficacy against PEDV via enhanced intracellular uptake.</jats:p>",
