COVID-19 Treatment Clinical Evidence
COVID-19 involves the interplay of 400+ viral and host proteins and factors, providing many therapeutic targets.
c19early analyzes 6,000+ studies for 210+ treatments—over 17 million hours of research.
Only three high-profit early treatments are approved in the US.
In reality, many treatments reduce risk,
with 25 low-cost treatments approved across 163 countries.
-
Naso/
oropharyngeal treatment Effective Treatment directly to the primary source of initial infection. -
Healthy lifestyles Protective Exercise, sunlight, a healthy diet, and good sleep all reduce risk.
-
Immune support Effective Vitamins A, C, D, and zinc show reduced risk, as with other viruses.
-
Thermotherapy Effective Methods for increasing internal body temperature, enhancing immune system function.
-
Systemic agents Effective Many systemic agents reduce risk, and may be required when infection progresses.
-
High-profit systemic agents Conditional Effective, but with greater access and cost barriers.
-
Monoclonal antibodies Limited Utility Effective but rarely used—high cost, variant dependence, IV/SC admin.
-
Acetaminophen Harmful Increased risk of severe outcomes and mortality.
-
Remdesivir Harmful Increased mortality with longer followup. Increased kidney and liver injury, cardiac disorders.

, K36-based inhibitor analogs as potential therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro): a computational investigation, Scientific Reports, doi:10.1038/s41598-025-06676-5
Abstract The global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has underscored the critical necessity for effective antiviral therapies. The viral main protease (Mpro), crucial for viral replication, has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. In the present study, the inhibitory potential of ten drug-like compounds (KL1-KL10), designed as derivatives of the parent inhibitor K36, against Mpro, has been computationally investigated. To elucidate the binding affinities and interactions of the suggested drugs with the Mpro active site, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations till 500 nanoseconds have been applied. Our results revealed that many suggested inhibitors exhibited enhanced binding affinities compared to the parent inhibitor K36. Among these, KL7 displayed the most favourable binding characteristics, with a docking score of -13.54 and MM-PBSA binding energy of -34.57 kJ/mol, surpassing that of K36. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated persistent binding of these compounds to Mpro, with RMSD values ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 nm, suggesting their potential as effective inhibitors. These findings suggest that the proposed ligands hold promise as potential scaffolds for developing potent antiviral drugs against COVID-19.
