There is growing amount of evidence to suggest the use of pharmaceuticals that target the Renin-Angiotensin System (e.g. angiotensin 1-7, ARBs and ACE inhibitors) may be beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19. This graph shows the interconnections among these classes of drugs, and SARS-CoV-2 via key genes implicated in this pathway. mediated. Explore the live … Read More
Patients with COVID-19 often also face cardiovascular challenges and associated comorbidities. Understanding how repositioned drugs to treat COVID-19 may impact the cardiovascular health of patients is important.Live Graph Detail: Targets of the drugs are included (e.g. RNA dependent RNA polymerase, target of remdesivir, IL-7, target of IL-6 inhibitors).

Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Kaletra) is a combination of the antivirals Lopinavir and Ritonavir, that were originally designed to inhibit HIV from replicating by binding to the protease. Similarly, it has been postulated that the drug could also bind to the protease of SARS-CoV-2. The drug is currently being tested for the treatment of COVID-19. Explore the live … Read More
Dexamethasone is a widely-used and safe steroid that has been studied in the context of treating viral respiratory disorders, and is THE FIRST drug that has been shown to reduce mortality of patients with severe COVID-19. Explore the live graph.
In addition to respiratory symptoms, novel findings have shown vascular complications in a series of patients with COVID-19, suggesting that COVID-19 is more to a respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2. This graph illustrates some of the possible mechanisms (genes) by which these effects of SARS-CoV-2 may be mediated. Explore the live graph.
