Methylene blue, Mycophenolic acid, Posaconazole, and Niclosamide inhibit SARS-CoV-2Omicron variant BA.1 infection of human airway epithelial explant cultures

2022-03-31

Abstract excerpt

Sublineages of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) Omicron variants continue to amass mutations in the spike (S) glycoprotein, which leads to immune evasion and rapid spread of the virus across the human population. Here we demonstrate the susceptibility of the Omicron variant BA.1 (B.1.1.529.1) to four repurposable drugs, Methylene blue (MB), Mycophenolic acid (MPA), Posaconazole (POS), a...
