Claims24
A method of treating COVID-19 in a subject comprising administering to the subject dantrolene or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or by administering a compound of Formula I:
- wherein R is —P(O)(OH)2 or —P(O)(OR1)(OR2);
- R1 is H, —C1-26alkyl, aryl, C1-6alkC(O)O—C1-26alkyl, —C1alkOC(O)C1-26alkyl, or C1alkOC(O)OC1-26alkyl;
- and R2 is —C1-26alkyl, aryl, C1-6alkC(O)O—C1-26alkyl, —C1alkOC(O)C1-26alkyl, or C1alkOC(O)OC1-26alkyl;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
A method for inhibiting replication of SARS-CoV-2 in a subject comprising administering to the subject dantrolene, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or by administering a compound of Formula I:
- wherein R is —P(O)(OH)2 or —P(O)(OR1)(OR2);
- R1 is H, —C1-26alkyl, aryl, C1-6alkC(O)O—C1-26alkyl, —C1alkOC(O)C1-26alkyl, or C1alkOC(O)OC1-26alkyl;
- and R2 is —C1-26alkyl, aryl, C1-6alkC(O)O—C1-26alkyl, —C1alkOC(O)C1-26alkyl, or C1alkOC(O)OC1-26alkyl;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
A method for inhibiting replication of SARS-CoV-2 in a host cell, for inhibiting entry of SARS-CoV-2 into a host cell, for inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 virion maturation in a host cell, or for inhibiting release of SARS-CoV-2 from a host cell comprising administering to the host cell dantrolene, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or by administering a compound of Formula I:
- wherein R is —P(O)(OH)2 or —P(O)(OR1)(OR2);
- R1 is H, —C1-26alkyl, aryl, C1-6alkC(O)O—C1-26alkyl, —C1alkOC(O)C1-26alkyl, or C1alkOC(O)OC1-26alkyl;
- and R2 is —C1-26alkyl, aryl, C1-6alkC(O)O—C1-26alkyl, —C1alkOC(O)C1-26alkyl, or C1alkOC(O)OC1-26alkyl;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
A method for reducing the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 by administering to a host cell dantrolene, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or by administering a compound of Formula I:
- wherein R is —P(O)(OH)2 or —P(O)(OR1)(OR2);
- R1 is H, —C1-26alkyl, aryl, C1-6alkC(O)O—C1-26alkyl, —C1alkOC(O)C1-26alkyl, or C1alkOC(O)OC1-26alkyl;
- and R2 is —C1-26alkyl, aryl, C1-6alkC(O)O—C1-26alkyl, —C1alkOC(O)C1-26alkyl, or C1alkOC(O)OC1-26alkyl;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
