    So far, the new crown pandemic has affected the lives of millions of people around the world and has placed a huge burden on the global health system and economy.


    Prevent COVID-19

    The disease progression of severe COVID-19 is characterized by an increase in viremia in the initial stage, and then gradually disappear, followed by a second stage characterized by a sharp increase in systemic inflammation.


    The increase in the levels of inflammatory cytokines and pro-inflammatory factors is related to the increase in disease severity and mortality.


    Recently, researchers used multi-dimensional epigenetics, transcription, in vitro and in vivo analysis to report that the inhibition of topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) can alleviate the fatal inflammation induced by SARS-CoV-2 .


    Inhibition of topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) can alleviate the fatal inflammation induced by SARS-CoV-2 .


    Topotecan (TPT), an FDA- approved TOP1 inhibitor for treatment, was found to inhibit the inflammation induced by hamster infections .

    These results support the potential of TOP1 inhibitors as an effective host-directed therapy against severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.


    In addition, we also need to conduct clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of reusing TOP1 inhibitors to treat COVID-19 in humans.
