Computer suggested repurposed drugs against COVID - M_T - 01-07-2021 The San Diego Supercomputer Center has been searching FDA approved drugs for ones that might impact critical functioning of SARS-CoV-2. Â The advantage of these drugs is that their safety is already understood. In April, they published a list of 64 drugs that might impact the virus's ability to replicate. In September, they published a list of another 147 drugs that might also impact the virus's ability to replicate. Â Among those suggested as possible were HCQ, vitamin D3, vitamin E acetate, and vitamin E succinate, and some compounds from citrus fruits or apples. A recent new article indicates they've done another unpublished (I couldn't find it) study to identify drugs that may impact the virus's ability to enter cells (if I understand it properly). Please note that these are only indicated as having POSSIBLE impact. Â Any of them would have to be studied for efficacy. Â Some (many?) of them have already been suggested. Â Some have been studied. Â At least HCQ has been discounted "Individuals should consult a doctor before experimenting with vitamins, minerals and other compounds" |
