Mechanistic analysis of Ivermectin
Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic agent that has shown promise against the virus in vitro. Its potential mechanism of action (MoA) in COVID-19, is poorly understood. Explore the live graph.
Mechanistic analysis of Acalabrutinib (Calquence)
Acalabrutinib is an anti-cancer medicine (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) showing promise in early studies. Its potential mechanism of action (MoA) is poorly understood. If understood better, more anti-cancer drugs can be rationalized against COVID-19. MoA elements include genes, and pathways that may explain the MoA of the drug in particularly ameliorating cytokine storm-related features in COVID-19. … Read More
Targeting the RAS system against COVID-19
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
Mechanistic analysis of Azithromycin
Azithromycin is being tested in COVID-19 patients. Although it is a potent antibiotic, in the COVID-19 setting, it likely acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. Its exact MoA in the disease, however, remains to be elucidated. Explore the live graph.
