Trypan blue free acid for COVID-19

Trypan blue free acid may be beneficial for COVID-19 according to the study below. COVID-19 involves the interplay of 400+ viral and host proteins and factors providing many therapeutic targets. Scientists have proposed 11,000+ potential treatments. c19early.org analyzes 210+ treatments. We have not reviewed trypan blue free acid in detail.

Background: Many studies have assessed the possible inhibitors for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, experiences like that from human immunodeficiency virus have taught us that a multidrug approach will reduce the chance of viral resistance. Materials and Methods: Here, we screened 2371 Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs for possible inhibition of nonstructural proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and expanded the work to include ligands that might interfere with the roles of structural proteins. Three different algorithms were used and suggested hits obtained using qVina were verified using Autodock Vina and leDock software. Results: Our results suggest direct-acting antivirals against hepatitis C might be efficient against SARS-CoV-2. Conclusions: Drug repurposing is a promising approach for the rapid identification of potential treatments for emerging diseases such as coronavirus disease.
