Intranasal Administration of ACIS KEPTIDE™ Prevents SARS-CoV2-Induced Acute Toxicity in K18-hACE2 Humanized Mouse Model of COVID-19: A Mechanistic Insight for the Prophylactic Role of KEPTIDE™ in COVID-19
2020-11-16
Abstract excerpt
Previously, we have demonstrated that ACIS KEPTIDE™, a chemically modified peptide, selectively binds to ACE-2 receptor and prevents the entry of SARS-CoV2 virions in vitro in primate kidney Cells. However, it is not known if ACIS KEPTIDE™ attenuates the entry of SARS-CoV2 virus in vivo in lung and kidney tissues, protects health, and prevent death once applied through intranasal route. In our current manuscript...
