To inhibit endocytic entry of some viruses, cells promote acidification of endosomes by expressing the short isoform of human nuclear receptor 7 (NCOA7) which increases activity of vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase). While we found that HIV-1 infection of primary T cells led to acidification of endosomes, NCOA7 levels were only marginally affected. Contrastingly, levels of the 50 kDa form of the sodium/hydrogen exchanger 6 (NHE6) were greatly reduced.

During the last forty years, significant progress has been made in the development of novel antiviral drugs, mainly crystallizing in the establishment of potent antiretroviral therapies and the approval of drugs eradicating hepatitis C virus infection. Although major targets of antiviral intervention involve intracellular processes required for the synthesis of viral proteins and nucleic acids, a number of inhibitors blocking virus assembly, budding, maturation, entry, or uncoating act on virions or viral capsids. In this review, we focus on the drug discovery process while presenting the currently used methodologies to identify novel antiviral drugs by means of computer-based approaches.

Background: Snake venoms are mainly composed of a mixture of proteins and peptides with antiviral activity against several viruses including HIV. Therefore, snake venoms represent a promising source for new antiviral drugs.
Aim: The study examines the toxin's capacity to disrupt the spike glycoprotein of HIV, the virus accountable for the HIV epidemic.
