It has been hypothesised that antiallergic medications (AAMs) like montelukast and levocetirizine both the two bitter chloro compounds could be repurposed either alone or combinedly as an antiviral against SARS-CoV-2, like chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine (CQ/HCQ), another two bitter chloro compounds. Both AAMs and CQ/HCQ are bitter tasted chloro compounds. Depending on their these two similar physical properties and the safety and efficacy of AAMs by controlling over post viral episodes as comparing with viral inhibitory activities including SARS-CoV-2 by CQ/HCQ, a reposition of AAMs either alone/combinedly could be rationalised as an antiviral approach to nCoV.
据推测,像孟鲁司特和左西替利嗪这样的抗过敏药物(AAMs),以及氯喹/羟氯喹(CQ/HCQ)这两种苦味氯化合物,都可以被重新利用,单独或联合作为针对 SARS-CoV-2 的抗病毒药物,就像氯喹/羟氯喹(CQ/HCQ)一样,也是两种苦味氯化合物。AAMs 和 CQ/HCQ 都是有苦味的氯化合物。基于它们这两种相似的物理特性,以及 AAMs 通过控制病毒感染后症状与 CQ/HCQ 对包括 SARS-CoV-2 在内的病毒抑制活性的安全性和有效性,AAMs 的单独或联合重新定位可能是一种合理的针对 nCoV 的抗病毒方法。
