Novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a zoonosis that revised the global economic and societal progress since early 2020. The SARS-CoV-2 has been recognized as the responsible pathogen for COVID-19 with high infection and mortality rate potential. It has spread in 192 countries and infected about 1.5% of the world population, and still, a proper therapeutic approach is not unveiled. COVID-19 indication starts with fever to shortness of breathing, leading to ICU admission with the ventilation support in severe conditions. Besides the symptomatic mainstay clinical therapeutic approach, only Remdesivir has been approved by the FDA. Several pharmaceutical companies claimed different vaccines with exceptionally high efficacy (90-95%) against COVID-19; how long these vaccines can protect and long-term safety with the new variants are unpredictable. After the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous clinical trials with different phases are being performed to find the most appropriate solution to this condition. Some of these trials with old FDA-approved drugs showed promising results. In this review, we have precisely compiled the efforts to curb the disease and discussed the clinical findings of Ivermectin, Doxycycline, Vitamin-D, Vitamin-C, Zinc, and cannabidiol and their combinations. Additionally, the correlation of these molecules on the prophylactic and diseased ministration against COVID-19 has been explored.
新型冠状病毒 2019(COVID-19)是一种动物源性传染病,自 2020 年初以来改变了全球经济和社会进程。SARS-CoV-2 已被确认为 COVID-19 的致病病原体,具有较高的感染和死亡率潜力。它已经在 192 个国家传播,感染了约 1.5%的世界人口,但仍未揭示出适当的治疗方法。COVID-19 的症状始于发热,继而出现呼吸急促,严重情况下需要入住 ICU 并进行通气支持。除了对症治疗的主要临床方法外,只有瑞德西韦已获得 FDA 的批准。几家制药公司声称针对 COVID-19 的不同疫苗具有极高的功效(90-95%);这些疫苗能保护多久,以及对新变体的长期安全性是不可预测的。COVID-19 大流行在全球范围内传播后,正在进行许多不同阶段的临床试验,以寻找治疗这种疾病的最佳方法。其中一些使用旧的 FDA 批准药物的试验显示出了有希望的结果。在这篇综述中,我们精确地汇编了控制疾病的努力,并讨论了伊维菌素、多西环素、维生素 D、维生素 C、锌和大麻二酚及其组合的临床发现。此外,还探讨了这些分子在 COVID-19 预防和疾病治疗中的相关性。
