  • Hot Topics: FXR inhibition may protect from SARS-CoV-2 infection by reducing ACE2

    Comments by the Guide to Pharmacology Curation Team, University of Edinburgh

    This manuscript reports on comprehensive and compelling experimental evidence and translational data from a retrospective review of clinical registries, which show that pharmacological inhibition of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR; using the FXR antagonist ursodeoxycholic acid/UDCA) could be a novel intervention for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19. The in vitro and in vivo studies show that FXR antagonism reduces ACE2 expression, which subsequently reduces SARS-CoV-2's ability to infect tissues including lung, liver and gastrointestinal tract..
