Harmonic Pharma HPH561 and COVID-19 : Synopsis

15 April 2021

HPH561 – a drug originally developed as an antifungal agent – was selected and revisited through the proprietary Harmonic Rediscovery platform. The resulting polypharmacology profile revealed an ensemble of biomolecular targets shared with haloperidol and clemastine, two repurposed drug candidates for COVID-19 treatment. Thus, HPH561 was tested against SARS-CoV-2 in an in vitro assay and showed a consistent antiviral activity.

Furthermore, the polypharmacological profile of HPH561 pointed out a biomolecular target involved in dampening inflammation as well as lung permeability and pulmonary edema.

At the cellular level, HPH561 has shown a lysosomotropism that is assumed to lead to a significant decrease in viral load or no SARS-CoV-2 infection of airway epithelial cells.

In addition, it has been reported that HPH561 shows a high affinity for SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) – an essential coronavirus enzyme that is required for processing viral polyproteins to generate a functional replicase complex and enable viral spread.

Altogether, the current biological properties associated with HPH561 make this repurposed drug a potential candidate of high interest to treat COVID-19.

HPH561, un principe actif antifongique à l’origine, a fait l’objet d’une sélection et d’une caractérisation via notre plateforme technologique « Rediscovery ». Le profil polypharmacologique qui en a résulté révèle un ensemble de cibles biologiques associées à HPH561 dont certaines sont communes avec celles de l’haloperidol et la clemastine, deux principes actifs candidats repositionnés pour le traitement de la COVID-19. Ainsi, HPH561 a fait l’objet d’un test in vitro contre SARS-CoV-2 et a montré une activité antivirale.

En outre, le profil polypharmacologique de HPH561 a mis en évidence une cible biologique impliquée dans la réduction de l’inflammation ainsi que de la perméabilité et l’œdème pulmonaires.

Au niveau cellulaire, HPH561 montre un tropisme lysosomal qui est considéré conduire à une diminution de la charge virale ou une absence d’infection au SARS-CoV-2 dans les cellules épithéliales des voies aériennes.

De plus, des études ont montré que HPH561 avait une affinité forte pour la protéase « SARS-CoV-2 papain like » (PLpro), une enzyme essentielle du coronavirus qui est requise pour la production de protéines virales afin d’obtenir un complexe de réplication fonctionnel et une propagation du virus.

En résumé, les propriétés biologiques associées à HPH561 font de ce principe actif repositionné un potentiel candidat d’un intérêt certain pour traiter la COVID-19.
