Interview conducted by Pooja Toshniwal PahariaDec 29 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers evaluated the efficacy of small molecule drugs against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in vitro.
A macrophage activation assay, capable of evaluating compound efficacy and potency against anti-S-targeted inflammatory responses, was developed and used to screen authorized investigational small molecule inhibitor molecules. The selectivity and potency against anti-S-mediated hyper-inflammation were quantified based on the IC50 values for the activation of macrophages. M-CSF and il=10 -differentiated MDAMs were used.

Entospletinib, an SYK inhibitor, was identified as the most promising drug candidate to combat anti-SARS-CoV-2 S IgG-induced hyper-inflammation, disruption of endothelial barrier integrity, thrombocyte adhesion, and formation of thrombus.
