Corona-Pille – Forschung mit Hindernissen
Die Clofoctol Story
Zwei Jahre lang begleitete die Doku das Taskforce-Team des Pasteur-Instituts von Lille (IPL) hautnah bei seinen Forschungsarbeiten für ein Medikament gegen Covid-19. Die Wissenschaftler des IPL wissen, dass ihre Stunde gekommen ist: Ein neues Medikament könnte die Menschheit vor einer verheerenden Pandemie retten. Aber wo soll man ansetzen?
März, 2020: Frankreich geht in den Lockdown. Während fast alles stillsteht, steckt sich ein Team von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern ein ehrgeiziges Ziel: die Entwicklung eines Medikaments gegen Covid-19. Schauplatz ist das Pasteur-Institut von Lille (IPL). Das Taskforce-Team sucht fieberhaft nach einem Wirkstoff gegen die Krankheit. Recht schnell entscheidet man sich für das Umfunktionieren einer alten Substanz.
Tag und Nacht screenen die Wissenschaftler Tausende von Ausgangssubstanzen, die gegen Sars-CoV-2 wirken könnten. Tatsächlich finden sie eine Hit-Substanz, deren Name zunächst geheim gehalten wird. Film ansehen:

Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Deactivation via Spike Glycoprotein Shielding by Old Drugs: Molecular Docking Approach
Today the disease of COVID-19 comprises the most serious problem against human health worldwide with a high rate of virulence and mortality. The disease is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the beta coronavirus family. The virus makes use of its surface glycoprotein named S protein or spike to enter the human cells. The virus is attached to its receptor of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 on the cell surface via its receptor-binding domain and fused after cleavage at S2′ site that is carried out by surface protease. Vaccines or drugs interfering with S protein binding or blocking the cleavage sites of S protein could be considered as a treat to get rid of the infection. In the current work and through molecular docking and molecular dynamics experiments, 14 drugs were selected based on their molecular weights among 100 drugs to study their shielding potency toward S protein binding sites. The obtained results indicate that fidaxomicin, niclosamide, and flubendazole bind specifically to the S2′ cleavage site; while ivermectin, rapamycin, heparin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, and erythromycin bind both receptor-binding domain and S2′ and can prevent virus attachment to its receptor and may be useful as a prophylactic candidate for COVID-19 management after clinical approval.

Fenbendazole Suppresses Growth and Induces Apoptosis of Actively Growing H4IIE Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells via p21-Mediated Cell-Cycle Arrest
Bendimidazole anthelmintics (BAs) have gained interest for their anticancer activity. The anticancer
activity is mediated via multiple intracellular changes, which are not consistent under different conditions
even in the same cells. We investigated the anticancer activity of fenbendazole (FZ, one of BAs) under two
different growth conditions. The growth rate of H4IIE cells was dose-dependently decreased by FZ only in
actively growing cells but not in fully confluent quiescent cells. Apoptosis-associated changes were also in-
duced by FZ in actively growing cells. Markers of autophagy were not changed by FZ. The number of cells
was markedly increased in sub-G1 phase but decreased in S- and G2/M phases by FZ. FZ up-regulated
p21 (an inhibitor of cyclin-CDK) but suppressed the expression of cell cycle-promoting proteins (cyclin D1
and cyclin B1). FZ did not affect integrin αV or n-cadherin expression as well as cell migration. Glycolytic
changes (glucose consumption and lactate production) and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
were not affected by FZ. Although the activity of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) was altered by
FZ, the inhibition of MAPKs did not affect the pro-apoptotic activity of FZ. Taken together, FZ selectively
suppressed the growth of cells via p21-mediated cell cycle arrest at G1/S and G2/M, and resulted in apoptosis
only in actively growing cells but not in quiescent cells. Glucose metabolism, ROS generation, and MAPKs
are unlikely targets of FZ at least in H4IIE rat hepatocellular carcinoma cells used in this study.
