CIGB-300 Synthetic Peptide, an Antagonist of CK2 Kinase Activity, as a Treatment for Covid-19. A Computational Biology Approach

2021-08-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>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 CK2 kinase activity, and the use of a CK2 inhibitor showed antiviral re...
