Repurposing of Kinase Inhibitors for Treatment of COVID-19

Abstract: The outbreak of COVID-19, the pandemic disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spurred an intense search for treatments by the scientific community. In the absence of a vaccine, the goal is to target the viral life cycle and alleviate the lung-damaging symptoms of infection, which can be lifethreatening. There are numerous protein kinases associated with these processes that can be inhibited by FDA-approved drugs, the repurposing of which presents an alluring opt… Show more

“…To take care of COVID-19 situation, various anti-inflammatory class of drugs are under trial and among them kinase inhibitors have emerged as one of the potential therapeutic modality to manage and treat COVID-19 infection [48]. These kinase inhibitors have shown 'one-drug-multiple target' properties and act on multiple proteins of the COVID-19 virus and hence, inhibit the viral entry, replication as well as mitigate the cascade of the cytokine storm [48]. As most of the cytokine inhibitors are approved for other indications, hence possess established safety and pharmacokinetic profile and therefore appears to be potential drug candidate for repurposing.…”

“…As most of the cytokine inhibitors are approved for other indications, hence possess established safety and pharmacokinetic profile and therefore appears to be potential drug candidate for repurposing. Thus, looking into these facts, kinase inhibitors, if found potent in mitigating COVID-19 induced complications would significantly minimize the time as well as the cost of drug development and can be accessible to the patients in a short span of time, as compared to an entirely new class of drugs [48]. Recently, Bouhaddou et al, 2020 published an extensive study showing the significant involvement of kinases in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and thus, opened an avenue to target these kinases against COVID-19 infection [49].…”

“…While we concur, we would like to supplement this argument further with discussion of the effects on the differentiation and acquisition of effector function and the inclusion of nonapoptotic CD95 upstream signaling. Akt inhibition has also been proposed on the basis of an anti-viral effect (42)(43)(44). However, it appears that in presenting stages of Covid-19 disease antiviral agents seem to have questionable therapeutic benefit, possibly due to the disease entering an immunopathological stage of exuberant lymphocytic response (19).…”
