Repurposed Antiviral Drugs for Covid-19-Interim WHO Solidarity Trial Results

Summary: The authors of the study reported the interim results of using four repurposed antiviral drugs (remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir, and interferon beta-1a) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The study showed that these drug regimens had little or no effect on overall mortality, initiation of ventilation, and duration of hospital stay.

Human Erythroid Progenitors Are Directly Infected by SARS-CoV-2: Implications for Emerging Erythropoiesis in Severe COVID-19 Patients

Hector Huerga Encabo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that severe COVID-19 patients in intensive care experience a significant decline in hemoglobin levels but an increase in circulating nucleated red cells, indicating a possible induction of stress erythropoiesis by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The research also shows that ACE2 expression peaks during erythropoiesis, making erythroid progenitors susceptible to infection by the virus. Furthermore, the study identifies early erythroid progenitors as the primary target cells for SARS-CoV-2 infection during erythropoiesis, highlighting how the virus can impact the clinical symptoms of severe COVID-19 patients.

Identifying SARS-CoV-2 antiviral compounds by screening for small molecule inhibitors of nsp15 endoribonuclease

Berta Canal et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 encodes 16 non-structural proteins (nsp) with important roles in viral genome replication, transcription and host immune evasion, with nsp15 playing a key role in host immune evasion. Expression and purification of nsp15 recombinant protein has been described, showing evidence of allosteric behavior, and NSC95397 has been identified as an inhibitor of nsp15 endoribonuclease in vitro. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of nsp15 inhibition on host immune evasion.
