In Silico study showing potential SARS-CoV-2 helicase inhibition by aspirin and eight other compounds. Authors screened 3,009 clinical and FDA-approved drugs for structural similarity to VXG (a known helicase co-crystallized ligand) and identified 29 initial candidates, which were then narrowed to nine promising compounds through molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and MM-PBSA studies against SARS-CoV-2 helicase.
3 preclinical studies support the efficacy of aspirin for COVID-19:
Eissa et al., 28 Nov 2024, peer-reviewed, 5 authors.
In Silico studies are an important part of preclinical research, however results may be very different in vivo.

Method: To narrow down the candidates, we focused on\n' 'VXG, the helicase’s co-crystallized ligand, and sought compounds with chemical structures ' 'akin to\n' 'VXG within the examined drugs. The initial phase of our study involved molecular ' 'fingerprinting\n' 'in addition to structure similarity studies. Results: Once the compounds most closely ' 'resembling\n' 'VXG (29 compounds) were identified, we conducted various studies to investigate and validate ' 'the\n' 'binding potential of these selected compounds to the protein’s active site. The subsequent ' 'phase\n' 'included molecular docking, molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, and MM-PBSA studies against\n' 'the SARS-CoV-2 helicase (PDB ID: 5RMM). Conclusion: Based on our analyses, we identified\n' 'nine compounds with promising potential as SARS-CoV-2 helicase inhibitors, namely ' 'aniracetam,\n' 'aspirin, chromocarb, cinnamic acid, lawsone, loxoprofen, phenylglyoxylic acid, and ' 'antineoplaston\n' 'A10. The findings of this research help the scientific community to further investigate these ' 'compounds,\n' 'both in vitro and in vivo.</jats:p>\n' '</jats:sec>', 'DOI': '10.2174/0115734064318640241112071225', 'type': 'journal-article', 'created': { 'date-parts': [[2024, 11, 29]], 'date-time': '2024-11-29T06:17:58Z', 'timestamp': 1732861078000}, 'source': 'Crossref', 'is-referenced-by-count': 0, 'title': 'Identification of Potential FDA-Approved Inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Helicase Through a Multistep ' 'In Silico Approach: A Promising Prospect for COVID-19 Treatment', 'prefix': '10.2174', 'volume': '21', 'author': [ { 'given': 'Ibrahim H.', 'family': 'Eissa', 'sequence': 'first', 'affiliation': [ { 'name': 'Pharmaceutical Medicinal Chemistry &amp; Drug Design Department, ' 'Faculty of Pharmacy (Boys), Al-Azhar University,\n' 'Cairo11884, Egypt'}]}, { 'given': 'Eslam B.', 'family': 'Elkaeed', 'sequence': 'additional', 'affiliation': [ { 'name': 'Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, ' 'AlMaarefa University, Riyadh\n' '13713, Saudi Arabia'}]}, { 'given': 'Alaa', 'family': 'Elwan', 'sequence': 'additional', 'affiliation': [ { 'name': 'Pharmaceutical Medicinal Chemistry &amp; Drug Design Department, ' 'Faculty of Pharmacy (Boys), Al-Azhar University,\n' 'Cairo11884, Egypt'}]}, { 'given': 'Aisha A.', 'family': 'Alsfouk', 'sequence': 'additional', 'affiliation': [ { 'name': 'Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, ' 'Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman\n' 'University, P.O.
