Table 5.

Summary of prediction result of antivirals targeting each protein of HPV-16.

HPV-16 protein Number of antiviralsa Example
Protein E7 7 Docosanol targeting GP340 or GP350 protein of Epstein-Barr Virus has been approved to treat herpes labialis, fever blisters, etc
Regular Protein E2 5 Voxilaprevir targeting NS3/4A protein of Hepatitis C Virus has been approved to treat chronic Hepatitis C caused by Hepatitis C Virus infection
Protein E6 6 Telaprevir is an NS3/4A viral protease inhibitor. It has been approved to treat chronic Hepatitis C Virus infection in combination with other drugs
Minor capsid protein L2 4 Grazoprevir targeting NS3/4A protein of Hepatitis C Virus has been approved to treat Hepatitis C viral infection
Protein E4 8 Nelfinavir is a potent viral protease inhibitor for treating infections of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and it targets the protease of HIV -1
Probable protein E5 7 Maraviroc is a chemokine receptor antagonist drug targeting C–C chemokine receptor type 5. It has been approved to treat HIV-1 infection
Replication protein E1 7 Pirodavir (investigational drug) targets the genome polyprotein of Polioviruses and it seems to have broad-spectrum antiviral effects on multiple kinds of Human Rhinoviruses
Major capsid protein L1 5 Docosanol targeting GP340 or GP350 protein of Epstein-Barr Virus has been approved to treat herpes labialis, fever blisters, etc
Protein E8^E2C 7 TMC-310911 (investigational drug) is a protease inhibitor targeting HIV-1 protease and it seems to have effect on treating HIV-1 infection

a Indicating the number of antivirals which was predicted to have potential interaction with specific HPV-16 protein.
