In the past few decades, coronaviruses have risen as a global threat to public health. Currently, the outbreak of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) from Wuhan caused a worldwide panic. There are no specific antiviral therapies for COVID-19. However, there are agents that were used during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) epidemics. We could learn from SARS and MERS. Lopinavir (LPV) is an effective agent that inhibits the protease activity of coronavirus. In this review, we discuss the literature on the efficacy of LPV in vitro and in vivo, especially in patients with SARS and MERS, so that we might clarify the potential for the use of LPV in patients with COVID-19.
在过去的几十年中,冠状病毒已成为全球公共卫生的威胁。目前,武汉爆发的新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)引起了全球恐慌。目前尚无针对 COVID-19 的特效抗病毒疗法。但是,在严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)和中东呼吸综合征(MERS)流行期间使用过一些药物。我们可以从 SARS 和 MERS 中吸取经验。洛匹那韦(LPV)是一种有效的抑制剂,可抑制冠状病毒的蛋白酶活性。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 LPV 在体外和体内的功效的文献,特别是在 SARS 和 MERS 患者中的应用,以期阐明 LPV 在 COVID-19 患者中的应用潜力。
