COVID-19 has infected hundreds of thousands and killed tens of thousands of people worldwide and it continues to ravage societies as well as fiscal and economic stability of several countries.\u00a0 Currently, several drugs that were designed for other conditions have been repurposed to counter the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0 Some have modest efficacy in resisting this disease, but all of them have significant toxicity.\u00a0 Several pharmaceutical companies are rushing to develop vaccines, but their availability is 8 to 12 months in the future.\u00a0 In the meantime, readily available and affordable molecules that will have utility as COVID-19 antidotes are being sought.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/article>\n 2020-06 Dominguez-Rodriguez\u00a0A, Abreu-Gonzalez\u00a0P, Marik\u00a0PE, Reiter\u00a0RJ<\/p>\n The mechanism for SARS-CoV-2 infection is the requisite binding of the virus to the membrane-bound form of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and internalization of the complex by the host cell.\u00a0SARS-CoV-2 induced endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular injury are probably initiated by increases in the phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3 and resultant reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. These pathological alterations are speculated to be strikingly reversed by melatonin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/article>\n 2020-06 Castillo\u00a0RR, Quizon\u00a0GRA, Juco\u00a0MJM, Roman\u00a0ADE, de\u00a0Leon\u00a0DG, Punzalan\u00a0FER, Guingon\u00a0RBL, Morales\u00a0DD, Tan\u00a0DX, Reiter\u00a0RJ<\/p>\n Treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) pneumonia remains empirical and the search for therapies that can improve outcomes continues. Melatonin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-modulating effects that may address key pathophysiologic mechanisms in the development and progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which has been implicated as the likely cause of death in COVID19.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/article>\n 2020-06 Anderson\u00a0G, Reiter\u00a0RJ<\/p>\n As data emerges on the pathophysiological underpinnings of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2, it is clear that there are considerable variations in its susceptibility and severity\/fatality, which give indications as to its pathophysiology and treatment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/article>\n 2020-06 Reiter\u00a0RJ, Sharma\u00a0R, Ma\u00a0Q, Dominquez-Rodriguez\u00a0A, Marik\u00a0PE, Abreu-Gonzalez\u00a0P<\/p>\n The pathogenesis of a COVID-19 respiratory infection, in a major way, is related to what is referred to as the cytokine storm [cytokine storm syndrome (CSS, hypercytokinemia, etc.], i.e., it is a hyper-inflammatory response.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/article>\n 2020-05 Reiter\u00a0RJ, Abreu-Gonzalez\u00a0P, Marik\u00a0PE, Dominguez-Rodriguez\u00a0A<\/p>\n The coronavirus, COVID-19, has infected hundreds of thousands and killed tens of thousands of individuals worldwide.

The melatonin synthetic enzyme serotonin N-acetyltransferase (SNAT) was found in matrix and also in the intermembrane space of mitochondria.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/article>\nMelatonin, cardiovascular disease and COVID-19: A potential therapeutic strategy?<\/h3>\n
