Montelukast Drug May Improve COVID-19 Prognosis: A Review of Evidence
Jean Barré, Jean-Marc Sabatier, Cédric Annweiler
Abstract
With the lack of effective therapy, chemoprevention and vaccination, focusing on the immediate repurposing of existing drugs gives hope of curbing the pandemic. Interestingly, montelukast, a drug usually used in asthma, may be proposed as a potential adjuvant therapy in COVID-19. The aim of the present article was to review the properties of montelukast that could be beneficial in COVID-19. Ten experimentally supported properties were retrieved, either related to SARS-CoV-2 (antiviral properties, prevention of endotheliitis and of neurological disorders linked to SARS-CoV-2), and/or related to the host (improvement of atherogenic vascular inflammation, limitation of the ischemia/reperfusion phenomenon, improvement of respiratory symptoms), and/or related to serious COVID-19 outcomes (limitation of the cytokine storm, mitigation of acute respiratory distress syndrome), and/or related to tissue sequelae (antioxidant properties, anti-fibrosis effects). Based on gathered theoretical evidence, we argue that montelukast should be further tested to prevent and treat COVID-19 outcomes.

CORDITE (CORona Drug InTEractions database) collects and aggregates data from PubMed, MedRxiv, BioRxiv, ChemRxiv and PMC for SARS-CoV-2. Its main focus is set on drug interactions either addressing viral proteins or human proteins that could be used to treat COVID. It collects and provides up-to-date information on computational predictions, in vitro, as well as in vivo study data.
The information provided is for research only and we cannot guarantee the correctness of the data.
