IMP-1088 is an enzyme inhibitor of the human N-myristoyltransferases NMT1 and NMT2. It prevents the production of infectious virus particles by targeting host cell machinery rather than the virus itself. Specifically, it inhibits the host's NMT enzymes, blocking the myristoylation of viral proteins required for capsid assembly. Since this strategy acts on host proteins, it is thought to carry a lower risk of viral resistance.
