During the evolution of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, several drug candidates have been proposed for repositioning towards a quest for more effective treatments.
We reviewed recent literature (Pubmed, Google, Clinicaltrials.gov), as of the middle of May 2021, for evidence regarding the potential benefit from poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase inhibitors and vascular endothelial growth factor blockade in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.
poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase inhibitors have been suggested as potential agents against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by a variety of mechanisms. vascular endothelial growth factor-associated vascular permeability is implicated with increased vascular leakage and pulmonary oedema. Thus, anti-angiogenesis factors, such as bevacizumab are being investigated in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
The synergistic potential of these two classes of inhibitors in severe COVID-19 management could be beneficial. Further research should be carried out in order to support this hypothesis.
在新型严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)大流行的演变过程中,已经提出了几种候选药物,以便重新定位以寻求更有效的治疗方法。
截至 2021 年 5 月中旬,我们回顾了最近的文献(PubMed、Google、Clinicaltrials.gov),以获取有关多聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶抑制剂和血管内皮生长因子阻断在严重 SARS-CoV-2 感染中的潜在益处的证据。
多聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶抑制剂通过多种机制被认为是对抗 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的潜在药物。血管内皮生长因子相关的血管通透性与血管渗漏和肺水肿增加有关。因此,贝伐珠单抗等抗血管生成因子正在重症 COVID-19 患者中进行研究。
这两类抑制剂在严重 COVID-19 管理中的协同潜力可能是有益的。应该进行进一步的研究来支持这一假设。
