General information

Sunitinib is an indole derivate receptor protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It manifests antineoplastic and neuroprotective activities. Sunitinib also acts as a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor antagonist and an immunomodulator (ChEBI).

Sunitinib reduces the infection of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 partially by inhibiting AP2M1 phosphorylation
Small molecule In vitro
ACE2-HeLa cells 6.26

Inhibition of AP2M1 phosphorylation in vitro, which likely leads to inhibition clathrin-dependent SARS-CoV-2 cell entry, at concentrations that are achieved via standard therapeutic dosing.

Heparan sulfate assists SARS-CoV-2 in cell entry and can be targeted by approved drugs in vitro
Polysaccharide Small molecule In vitro
ACE2-GFP HEK293T cells; Calu-3 cells; Vero E6 cells; SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped particles 6.26

Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus cell entry with IC50 of 10 μM in ACE2-GFP HEK293T cells. At 10 μM concentration the drug reduced virus-induced cytopathic effect in Vero E6 cells by ca. 30%. It might act through actin cytoskeleton metabolism disregulation.
