Antiretrovirals for Prophylaxis Against COVID-19: A Comprehensive Literature Review.

Abstract:

:Although people living with human immunodeficiency virus and other comorbidities are expected to experience more grievous consequences with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), recent cohort studies did not indicate this. Antiretrovirals (ARVs) might have a prophylactic role in these patients. The purpose of this study was to review the most recently published articles on the possible role of ARVs for pre- or postexposure prophylaxis against COVID-19. From June to October 2020, we searched scientific databases using specific key words to identify ongoing trials or articles published before October 2020 investigating any subgroups of ARVs for prophylaxis against COVID-19. Apart from molecular docking studies, in vitro, animal, and human studies are very limited for evaluating the prophylactic role of ARVs against severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. According to our findings, there is no definite evidence to support use of protease inhibitors for this purpose, despite the promising results of molecular studies and limited clinical evidence for ritonavir-boosted lopinavir, darunavir, and nelfinavir when used early in the course of the disease. Nucleotide/nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) also have shown binding affinity to main enzymes of SARS-CoV-2 in molecular, in vitro, and animal studies. NRTIs like tenofovir and emtricitabine might exhibit a prophylactic role against SARS-CoV-2 infection. In conclusion, currently there is no evidence to justify the use of ARVs for prophylaxis against COVID-19.
