Combination of Remdesivir and Ivermectin Exerts Highly Potent and Synergistic Antiviral Activity Against Murine Coronavirus and SARS-CoV-2 InfectionsCells · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need to develop effective and broad-spectrum antiviral therapies against coronaviruses. One strategy to address this concern is combination therapy using repurposed drugs against zoonotic viruses with pandemic potential. We previously demonstrated that the combination of remdesivir and ivermectin is highly potent and synergistic in inhibiting the replication of murine hepatitis virus, a surrogate model for SARS-CoV-2.

Time-of-addition and time-of-removal assays were performed to determine the viral replication processes affected. The interactions between the drug combination, virus and host were investigated by proteomics and bulk RNA sequencing of MHV-infected H2.35 mouse liver epithelial cells. The combination (at their respective IC50 concentrations) drastically diminished the coronavirus titer by ~4log10 greater than the respective monotherapies. Based on proteomic and transcriptomic analyses, viral protein and RNA levels were significantly depressed upon combination treatment. While remdesivir exhibited considerable negative effects upon host RNA processes, ivermectin resulted in the upregulation of host protein processes (e.g. response to unfolded protein; protein insertion into ER membrane). Molecular pathways affected by the combination treatment were markedly distinct from the monotherapies, and indicated that ivermectin enhances remdesivir by modulating critical host processes to synergistically exert its inhibitory effect on the coronavirus replication cycle.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE317360_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1406784 and SRA study SRP665691. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
