CIGB-300 synthetic peptide, an antagonist of CK2 kinase activity, as a treatment for Covid-19. A computational biology approach

2021-07-26

Abstract excerpt

Drug repositioning became the first choice for treating Covid-19 patients due to the urgent need to deal with the pandemic. Similarities in the hijacking mechanisms used by SARS-CoV-2 and several type of cancer, suggest the repurposing of cancer drugs to treat Covid-19. CK2 kinase antagonists have been proposed for the treatment of cancer. A recent study in cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus found a significant...
