ln Vitro |
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected millions of people worldwide. Currently, many clinical trials in search of effective COVID-19 drugs are underway. Viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) remains the target of choice for prophylactic or curative treatment of COVID-19. Nucleoside analogs are the most promising RdRp inhibitors and have shown effectiveness in vitro, as well as in clinical settings. One limitation of such RdRp inhibitors is the removal of incorporated nucleoside analogs by SARS-CoV-2 exonuclease (ExoN). Thus, ExoN proofreading activity accomplishes resistance to many of the RdRp inhibitors. We hypothesize that in the absence of highly efficient antivirals to treat COVID-19, combinatorial drug therapy with RdRp and ExoN inhibitors will be a promising strategy to combat the disease. To repurpose drugs for COVID-19 treatment, 10,397 conformers of 2,240 approved drugs were screened against the ExoN domain of nsp14 using AutoDock VINA. The molecular docking approach and detailed study of interactions helped us to identify dexamethasone metasulfobenzoate, conivaptan, hesperidin, and glycyrrhizic acid as potential inhibitors of ExoN activity. The results were further confirmed using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and molecular mechanics combined with generalized Born model and solvent accessibility method (MM-GBSA) calculations. Furthermore, the binding free energy of conivaptan and hesperidin, estimated using MM-GBSA, was -85.86 ± 0.68 and 119.07 ± 0.69 kcal/mol, respectively. Based on docking, MD simulations and known antiviral activities, and conivaptan and hesperidin were identified as potential SARS-CoV-2 ExoN inhibitors. We recommend further investigation of this combinational therapy using RdRp inhibitors with a repurposed ExoN inhibitor as a potential COVID-19 treatment[1].

ln Vivo |
We evaluated the effects of anti-inflammatory potency of corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-induced aqueous flare elevation in pigmented rabbits. Transcorneal diffusion of PGE2, 25 microg/ml (7.09 x 10(-2) mmol/l), with the use of a glass cylinder was achieved to produce aqueous flare elevation. Anti-inflammatory drugs were topically administered once before PGE2 application. Aqueous flare was measured with a laser flare-cell meter. Topical single instillation of dexamethasone sodium metasulfobenzoate 0.1%, dexamethasone sodium phosphate 0.1%, and fluorometholone 0.1% 6 h before PGE2 application inhibited 56, 59, and 43% of flare elevation, respectively. Topical single instillation of bromfenac sodium 0.1% and pranoprofen 0.1% 1 h before PGE2 application inhibited 33 and 15% of flare elevation, respectively. Indomethacin 0.5% did not inhibit flare elevation. Corticosteroid eyedrops needed several hours from topical instillation to exhibit inhibition of flare elevation. Most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug eyedrops inhibited aqueous flare elevation when instilled 1 h before PGE2 application[2].

Additional Infomation |
Dexamethasone sodium m-sulfobenzoate is a sulfonatobenzoate. It is functionally related to a dexamethasone.
Dexamethasone Sodium Metasulfobenzoate is the sodium sulfobenzoate salt form of dexamethasone, a synthetic adrenal corticosteroid and derivative of hydrocortisone, with potent anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to binding to specific nuclear steroid receptors, dexamethasone also interferes with NF-kB activation and apoptotic pathways. This agent lacks the salt-retaining properties of other related adrenal hormones. |
