Repurposing the antihyperlipidemic drug Atorvastatin into an anti-HIV agent: Atorvastatin (trade name: Lipitor), a medication prescribed to lower cholesterol and triglyceride, increases Heme oxygenase 2 (HO-2) expression, blocks N-myristoylation of HIV-1 Gag protein, disrupts HIV-1 budding, and restricts HIV-1 production, via upregulation of its target gene, 12/March/2019, 9.51 am
