In Vitro study showing that SARS-CoV-2 uses ACE2 for entry and TMPRSS2 for S protein priming, and that TMPRSS2 inhibitor camostat blocked entry and may be an effective treaetment.
Bromhexine efficacy may vary depending on the degree of TMPRSS-dependent fusion for different variants Peacock, Willett.
4 preclinical studies support the efficacy of bromhexine for COVID-19:
Hoffman et al., 5 Mar 2020, peer-reviewed, 13 authors.
In Vitro studies are an important part of preclinical research, however results may be very different in vivo.

SARS-CoV-2 Cell Entry Depends on ACE2 and TMPRSS2 and Is Blocked by a Clinically Proven Protease Inhibitor
Markus Hoffmann, Hannah Kleine-Weber, , ..., Simon Schroeder, Nadine Krüger, Tanja Herrler, Sandra Erichsen, Tobias S Schiergens, Georg Herrler, Nai-Huei Wu, Andreas Nitsche, Marcel A Müller, Christian Drosten, Stefan Pöhlmann
Cell, doi:10.1016/j.cell.2020.02.052
Highlights d SARS-CoV-2 uses the SARS-CoV receptor ACE2 for host cell entry d The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is primed by TMPRSS2 d Antibodies against SARS-CoV spike may offer some protection against SARS-CoV-2
DECLARATION OF INTERESTS The authors declare no competing interests. 4 (A and B) Importance of endosomal low pH (A) and activity of CatB/L or TMPRSS2 (B) for host cell entry of SARS-CoV-2 was evaluated by adding inhibitors to target cells prior to transduction. Ammonium chloride (A) blocks endosomal acidification while E-64d and camostat mesylate (B) block the activity of CatB/L and TMPRSS2, respectively. Entry into cells not treated with inhibitor was set as 100%. (C) Absence of cytotoxic effects of camostat mesylate. Calu-3 cells were treated with camostat mesylate identically as for infection experiments and cell viability was measured using a commercially available assay (CellTiter-Glo, Promega).

Wu, brief, tissue with a length of approximately 10 mm and a diameter of 8mm was collected and incubated for 24 h at 4 C with DMEM (GIBCO) containing 1 mg/mL protease type XIV and 10 mg/mL DNase I, 100 units/mL penicillin and 100 mg/mL streptomycin, 2.5 mg/mL amphotericin B, and 50 mg/mL gentamicin (GIBCO). The epithelial cells were then harvested from the mucosal surface using the scalpel and were resuspended in growth medium. After incubation at 37 C, 5% CO 2 for 2 h to remove adherent fibroblast cells, non-adherent cells were seeded on a collagen I coated flask and maintained at 37 C, 5% CO 2 . The growth medium was refreshed every 2 days and consisted of a 1:1 mixture of DMEM (GIBCO) and Airway Epithelial Cell basal medium (Promocell, Heidelberg, Germany) supplemented with 52 mg/mL bovine pituitary extract, 15 ng/mL retinoic acid, 5mg/mL insulin, 0.5 mg/mL hydrocortisone, 0.5 mg/mL epinephrine, 10 mg/mL transferrin, 1 ng/mL human epidermal growth factor (Corning), 1.5 ng/mL bovine serum albumin, 100 units/mL penicillin and 100 mg/mL streptomycin, with or without 5 mM Rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor
