Ac2-26 mimetic peptide of annexin A1 to treat severe COVID-19 : A hypothesis

The Coronavirus Diseases-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic leads many researchers around the world to study the SARS-CoV-s2 infection and pathology to find a treatment for it. This generates a massive production of papers including pre-clinical, clinical and revisions but till now no specific treatment were identified. Meanwhile, like other coronavirus infections, COVID-19 leads to the cytokine storm syndrome resulting in hyperinflammation, exacerbated immune response and multiple organ dysfunctions indicating that drugs that modulate this response, as glucocorticoids could be a treatment option. However glucocorticoids have several side effects or usage limitations. In this sense a drug with anti-inflammatory effects and capable to reduce inflammation but with less after-effects could be a powerful tool to combat COVID-19. Thus the Ac2-26 Mimetic Peptide of Annexin A1 emerges as a possible therapy. The peptide has many anti-inflammatory effects described including the reduction of interleukin (IL)-6, one of the main mediators of cytokine storm syndrome. Therefore the hypothesis to use the Ac2-26 peptide to treat severe COVID-19 will be highlighted in this paper.
