Method of treating coronavirus infections using anti-tubulin compounds
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230265081A1) describes a method for treating coronavirus infections using a specific compound. The method involves administering a formulation containing a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) to a subject in need of treatment. The compound is defined by various chemical properties, including the presence of phenyl or indolyl groups that may be substituted with different functional groups. The compound also includes an imidazole group that may be substituted with alkyl groups. The method can be used to treat coronavirus infections in subjects who have or are at high risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or are at high risk of death.
The patent claims that the method reduces viral load and morbidity associated with coronavirus infections. Morbidity refers to various health conditions such as atrial fibrillation, pneumonia, hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, chronic bronchitis, and respiratory failure, among others. The method is specifically designed to treat infections caused by SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, or SARS-CoV-2, including different variants such as omicron, delta, and their descendants.
The method can be used alone or in combination with other therapies such as remdesivir, dexamethasone, or other corticosteroids. It can also be combined with medications that modulate the immune system or host cell factors, antibody therapies, or other antiviral therapies. Additionally, the method can be combined with vitamins C or D, zinc, famotidine, ivermectin, or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor binding (ARB) agents.
The compound of Formula (I) is administered in various amounts ranging from about 1 mg to about 100 mg, depending on the specific application. The formulation may also include pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
Overall, this patent describes a method for treating coronavirus infections using a specific compound, which shows potential for reducing viral load and improving patient outcomes. The method can be used alone or in combination with other therapies, providing a comprehensive approach to treating coronavirus infections.
