Journal: The binding mechanism of failed, in processing and succeed inhibitors target SARS-CoV-2 main protease. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 13, 2024 By gaining insights into the dynamics, we can potentially elucidate why lopinavir/ritonavir, initially considered promising, failed to effectively treat COVID-19. Furthermore, understanding the mechanistic aspects of N3 and NMV inhibition on SCM not only contributes to rational drug discovery against COVID-19 but also aids future studies on the catalytic mechanisms of main proteases in other novel coronaviruses.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Journal: Impact of corticosteroids on initiation and half-year durability of humoral response in COVID-19 survivors. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 22, 2024 We used kinetic antibody data from the lopinavir-ritonavir trial conducted at Jin Yin-Tan Hospital in January 2020, which involved adults hospitalized with severe COVID-19 (LOTUS, ChiCTR2000029308)...Our findings suggested that corticosteroid therapy was associated with impaired initiation of the antibody response but this did not compromise the peak titres of binding and neutralizing antibodies. Throughout the decay phase, from the acute phase to the half-year follow-up visit, short-term and low-dose corticosteroids did not significantly affect humoral responses, except for accelerating the waning of short-lived antibodies.

Journal: Effective Treatment of COVID-19 Infection with Repurposed Drugs: Case Reports. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 4, 2024 Multidrug therapy is effective because of the differing mechanisms of action of these drugs, and it may also mitigate the emergence of drug-resistant SARS-CoV-2 strains. The medicines were lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra), bamlanivimab (monoclonal antibody), glycopyrrolate-formoterol (Bevespi), ciclesonide (Alvesco), famotidine (Pepcid), and diphenhydramine (Benadryl).

However, the increased risks of SGA and VGSA associated with PI-ART, compared to NNRTI-ART, may impact choice of second- and third-line ART regimens in pregnancy.Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42021248987.
