Comment: Sabizabulin (VERU-111) is an orally bioavailable βIII/βIV-tubulin inhibitor that was developed for anti-tumour potential [1-2]. It interacts with the tubulin colchicine binding site. VERU-111 induces mitotic arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells in vitro, and inhibits xenograft tumour growth. It is suggested that like colchicine, VERU-111 may have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory actions in addition to its antiproliferative activity.
COVID-19: Sabizabulin has been repositioned as a potential therapeutic for COVID-19; in particular for patients who are hospitalised with moderate to severe COVID-19 and who are at high risk for developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). |
