The antihistamine azelastine as broad antiviral approach
As a short-term response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CEBINA, in collaboration with Professor Robert Konrat, a renowned structural biologist (Department of Structural and Computational Biology, University of Vienna, Austria) applied a novel computational approach to identify compounds to be repurposed as anti-COVID-19 drugs (Konrat at al, 2022). This approach led to the identification of azelastine, a generic anti-histamine medication available as nasal spray. CEBINA entered in partnership with URSAPHARM Arzneimittel GmbH to develop the azelastine nasal spray as anti-COVID-19 remedy. A Phase 2 proof-of-concept study performed in Europe confirmed the antiviral effect of the azelastine nasal spray in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients (Klussmann et al, 2023). CEBINA scientists proved a broad antiviral activity for azelastine, against influenza, RSV, and seasonal coronaviruses (Fischhuber et al, 2023). Several Phase 2 and 3 studies are ongoing.
