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.

, Molecular Docking Analysis Of Some Phytochemicals On Two SARS-CoV-2 Targets: Potential Lead Compounds Against Two Target Sites of SARS-CoV-2 Obtained from Plants, bioRxiv, doi:10.1101/2020.03.31.017657
AbstractCOV spike (S) glycoprotein and Mpro are two key targets that have been identified for vaccines and drug development against the COVID-19 disease. Virtual screening of some compounds of plants origin that have shown antiviral activities were carried out on the two targets, 6lu7 and 6vsb by docking with the PyRx software. The binding affinities were compared with other compounds and drugs already identified as potential ligands for 6lu7 and 6vsb as well as Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. The docked compounds with best binding affinities were also filtered for drug likeness using the SwissADME and PROTOX platforms on the basis of Physicochemical properties and toxicity respectively. The docking results revealed that scopodulcic acid and dammarenolic acid had the best binding affinity on the s-glycoprotein and Mpro protein targets respectively. Silybinin also demonstrated a good binding affinity to both protein targets making it a potential candidate for further evaluation as repurposed candidate for SARS COV2 with likelihood of having a multitarget activity.
