DR JOHN CAMPBELL IVERMECTIN AND NEW PFIZER DRUG

New Pfizer antiviral and ivermectin, a pharmacodynamic analysis New Pfizer antiviral, PF-07321332, C₂₃H₃₂F₃N₅O₄ PF-07321332 is designed to block the activity of the SARS-CoV-2-3CL protease,

So, what is a protease?
So what is a protease inhibitor?
And, what is 3CL?
Chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL main protease, or 3CL Mpro)

the strength and persistency of the interaction between IVE and the binding site of 3CLpro indicate that a partial inhibition of the catalytic activity could have place as the drug interacts with the main subdomains that define the enzyme binding pocket:

as shown in Fig. 4, out of 13 OTDs only ivermectin completely blocked ( more than 80%) the 3CLpro activity at 50 µM concentration.
Development, validation, and approval of COVID-19 specific drugs takes years. Therefore, the idea of drug repositioning, also known as repurposing, is an important strategy to control the sudden outbreak of life-threatening infectious agents that spread rapidly.

With SARS-CoV-2 S Spike protein
Ivermectin showed high binding affinity to the viral S protein as well as the human cell surface receptors ACE-2 and TMPRSS2.
In agreement to our findings, ivermectin was found to be docked between the viral spike and the ACE2 receptor

that ivermectin showed the highest binding affinity to the active site of the protein (MolDock score −159.754) and protein–ligand interactions
With SARS-CoV-2 S Glycoprotein
Ivermectin showed the highest binding affinity to the predicted active site of the protein
With SARS-CoV-2 Nsp14 Protein
ivermectin showed the highest binding affinity (MolDock score −212.265) and protein–ligand interactions
Binding Interactions of Selected Drugs With SARS-CoV-2 PLpro
Ivermectin showed the highest binding affinity to the predicted active site of the protein (MolDock score −180.765) and protein–ligand interactions
