The inhaled corticosteroid ciclesonide blocks coronavirus RNA replication by targeting viral NSP15
2020-03-12
Abstract excerpt
Steroid compounds, which are expected to have dual functions in blocking host inflammation and MERS-CoV replication, were screened from a chemical library. Within this library, ciclesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid, suppressed human coronavirus replication in cultured cells, but did not suppress replication of respiratory syncytial virus or influenza virus. The effective concentration of ciclesonide to block SARS...
