Many of the above drugs are currently approved therapeutics for other indications; thus, they present a unique repurposing opportunity. Yet, others are new molecular entities such as AR-527, EIDD-2801, ACS-09, vidofludimus, VERU-111, and BLD-2660. Interestingly, the reviewed therapeutics exploit a range of mechanisms which will essentially enhance the likelihood of obtaining effective therapeutics in a timely manner. Furthermore, many of the presented therapeutics promote pharmacological effects beyond the antiviral effects. Of note are the anti-inflammatory/immune-modulatory effects of selinexor, NSAIDs, VERU-111, leflunomide, and BLD-2660. These effects are of enormous significance due to the confirmed excessive inflammation in the severe cases of COVID-19. It is worth mentioning here that testing of the described therapeutics in COVID-19 clinical trials is based on either initial clinical observations or reported activity against previous outbreaks of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.
