Abstract
⺠We investigated the antiviral activities of mucroporin and optimized mucroporin-M1. ⺠Mucroporin and mucroporin-M1 were scorpion venom-derived host defense peptides. ⺠Mucroporin-M1 but not mucroporin had antiviral activities against tested viruses. ⺠The tested viruses were measles, SARS-CoV and influenza H5N1 viruses. ⺠Mucroporin-M1 exerted its effects on viruses by directly binding to virus membranes.
