  • the fda approved gold drug Auranofin inhibits novel coronavirus sars cov 2 replication and attenuates inflammation in human cells
    Virology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Hussin A Rothan, Shannon Stone, Janhavi P Natekar, Pratima Kumari, Komal Arora, Mukesh Kumar
    Abstract:

    SARS-COV-2 has recently emerged as a new public health threat. Herein, we report that the FDA-approved drug, Auranofin, inhibits SARS-COV-2 replication in human cells at low micro molar concentration. Treatment of cells with Auranofin resulted in a 95% reduction in the viral RNA at 48 h after infection. Auranofin treatment dramatically reduced the expression of SARS-COV-2-induced cytokines in human cells. These data indicate that Auranofin could be a useful drug to limit SARS-CoV-2 infection and associated lung injury due to its antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anti-reactive oxygen species (ROS) properties. Further animal studies are warranted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Auranofin for the management of SARS-COV-2 associated disease.

  • a high throughput drug screen identifies Auranofin as a potential sensitizer of cisplatin in small cell lung cancer
    Investigational New Drugs, 2019
    Co-Authors: Xiaoli Liu, Wei Wang, Yanping Yin, Hang Xiang
    Abstract:

    Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly lethal malignancy with the 5-year survival rate of less than 7%. Chemotherapy-resistance is a major challenge for SCLC treatment in clinic. In the study, we developed a high-throughput drug screen strategy to identify new drugs that can enhance the sensitivity of chemo-drug cisplatin in SCLC. This screen identified Auranofin, a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug used therapeutically for rheumatoid arthritis, as a sensitizer of cisplatin. Further study validated that Auranofin synergistically enhanced the anti-tumor activity of cisplatin in chemo-resistant SCLC cells, which was accompanied by the enhanced induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The synergistic action of Auranofin and cisplatin was through ROS overproduction, thereby leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage. Furthermore, in vivo study demonstrated that the combination treatment of Auranofin and cisplatin dramatically inhibited tumor growth in SCLC. Therefore, our study provides a rational basis for further clinical study to test whether Auranofin could enhance the sensitivity of cisplatin-based therapy in SCLC patients.
