  • ||||||||||  lomibuvir (VX 222) / Trek Therapeutics, Metopirone (metyrapone) / Perrigo Company
    Preclinical, Journal:  Repurposed drugs in combinations exert additive anti-chikungunya virus activity: an in-vitro study. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 9, 2024   
    The results suggest an additive anti-viral effect of these drug combinations against CHIKV. The findings could serve as an outline for the development of an innovative therapeutic approach in the future to treat CHIKV-infected patients.

    Preclinical, Journal:  Drug repurposing approach against chikungunya virus: an in vitro and in silico study. (Pubmed Central) -  May 18, 2023   
    Furthermore, in silico molecular docking studies performed by targeting CHIKV structural and non-structural proteins revealed that these drugs can bind to structural protein targets such as envelope protein, and capsid, and non-structural proteins NSP2, NSP3 and NSP4 (RdRp). Findings from in vitro and in silico studies reveal that these drugs can suppress the infection and replication of CHIKV and further in vivo studies followed by clinical trials are warranted.

    FDA event, Preclinical, Journal:  A Transcriptomics-Based Bioinformatics Approach for Identification and In Vitro Screening of FDA-Approved Drugs for Repurposing against Dengue Virus-2. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 28, 2022   
    Results revealed that five compounds, viz., resveratrol, doxorubicin, lomibuvir, elvitegravir, and enalaprilat, have significant anti-DENV activity. Further, molecular docking studies showed that these drugs can interact with a variety of protein targets of DENV, including the glycoprotein, the NS5 RdRp, NS2B-NS3 protease, and NS5 methyltransferase The in vitro and in silico results, therefore, reveal that these drugs have the ability to decrease DENV-2 production, suggesting that these drugs or their derivatives could be attempted as therapeutic agents against DENV infections.

    Review, Journal:  Computational drug discovery and repurposing for the treatment of COVID-19: A systematic review. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 13, 2021   
    For the majority of these drugs, direct clinical evidence on their efficacy for the treatment of COVID-19 is lacking. Future clinical studies examining these drugs might come to conclude, which can be more useful to inhibit COVID-19 progression.
