Varenicline Prevents SARS-CoV-2 Infection In Vitro and in Rhesus Macaques

2021-06-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> SARS-CoV-2 infections have resulted in a global pandemic, but an antiviral therapy for this novel strain of coronavirus does not currently exist. The objective of our study was to investigate the antiviral potential of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nACHR) agonist varenicline tartrate against SARS-CoV-2. <h4>Methods</h4> We assessed antiviral activity using in vitro...
