COVID-19 Treatment Clinical Evidence
COVID-19 involves the interplay of 500+ viral and host proteins and factors, providing many therapeutic targets.
c19early analyzes 6,000+ studies for 220+ 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.

, Structure–Activity Relationships of Pyrrolyl-Containing Diketo Acid and Non-Diketo Acid Derivatives as Inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 nsp13-Associated Activities, Molecules, doi:10.3390/molecules31132376
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has posed a tremendous burden globally, highlighting the urgent need for new effective antivirals that are possibly useful against future emerging Coronaviruses (hCoVs). In this context, major efforts were focused on the inhibition of highly conserved and essential targets playing a pivotal role in viral replication. Among them, SARS-CoV-2 nsp13 stands out, being the most conserved enzyme within hCoVs. Following our previous reports describing the identification of indole-based diketo acid (DKA) derivatives as SARS-CoV-2 nsp13 inhibitors endowed with antiviral activity, we applied a scaffold hopping strategy to identify new nsp13 inhibitors. Therefore, we investigated a series of 4-phenyl pyrrolyl DKAs and their structural analogs characterized by molecular simplification or DKA isosteric replacement. The derivatives showed potency against both nsp13-associated activities exhibiting measurable IC50s in the low micromolar/submicromolar range, highlighting a promising dual inhibitory profile accordingly. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies were performed, highlighting the main structural features increasing the activity of the different compound classes. Interestingly, SAR trends were confirmed in the presence of the BSA/TCEP system despite variations in potency. To shed light on the interaction of the best acting compounds 13b, 15a, and 17d, docking studies were performed, suggesting a putative binding mode in agreement with our previous findings.
