In Silico study of several antiandrogens identifying strong candidates for inhibition of SARS-CoV-2. Apalutamide and bicalutamide showed the best binding affinity against TMPRSS2.
3 preclinical studies support the efficacy of antiandrogens for COVID-19:

The SARS-CoV-2 is the novel coronavirus that causes the pandemic COVID-19, which has originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Early studies have generally shown that human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) are responsible for the viral entry of SARS-CoV-2 into target cells. TMPRSS2 as androgen-regulated is highly expressed in the prostate and other tissues including the lung. We investigated the interaction between the TMPRSS2 protein and selected antiandrogens, namely bicalutamide, enzalutamide, apalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, and darolutamide using in-silico molecular docking. The results showed that apalutamide (-8.8 Kcal mol -1 ) and bicalutamide (-8.6 Kcal mol -1 ) had the highest docking score. The molecular docking process was validated by re-docking the peptide-like-inhibitor-serine protease hepsin and superimposing them onto the reference complex. Last of all, the tested compounds have been evaluated for their pharmacokinetic and drug-likeness properties and concluded that these compounds except nilutamide (mutagenic) can be granted as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2. This in-silico study result encourages its use as means for drug discovery of new COVID-19 treatment.
