bromhexine and 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease

bromhexine has been researched along with 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease in 15 studies

Bromhexine: A mucolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with viscid or excessive mucus. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p744)
bromhexine : A substituted aniline that is 2,4-dibromoaniline which is substituted at position 6 by a [cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]methyl group. It is used (as the monohydrochloride salt) as a mucolytic for the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with productive cough (i.e. a cough characterised by the production of sputum).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Bromhexine is a potent inhibitor of transmembrane serine protease 2 and appears to have an antiviral effect in controlling influenza and parainfluenza infection; however, its efficacy in COVID-19 is controversial."3.30Effect of bromhexine in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. ( Babamahmoodi, A; Dastan, F; Eskandari, R; Jamaati, H; Marjani, M; Mulla, ZD; Tolouian, R, 2023)
"All patients had a confirmed 2019 novel coronavirus infection (COVID 19) based on a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA and/or a typical pattern of viral pneumonia on multispiral computed tomography."2.94[Results of Open-Label non-Randomized Comparative Clinical Trial: "BromhexIne and Spironolactone for CoronаvirUs Infection requiring hospiTalization (BISCUIT)]. ( Agapov, MA; Akopyan, ZA; Asratyan, DA; Begrambekova, YL; Bulanova, MM; Dyachuk, LI; Fuks, AA; Kamalov, АА; Mareev, VY; Mareev, YV; Matskeplishvili, ST; Mershina, ЕА; Orlova, YA; Pakhomov, PV; Pavlikova, EP; Plisyk, AG; Potapenko, AV; Samokhodskaya, LM; Seredenina, EM; Sinitsyn, VE, 2020)
" Using bromhexine at a dosage that selectively inhibits TMPRSS2 and, in so doing, inhibits TMPRSS2-specific viral entry is likely to be effective against SARS-CoV-2."2.66Potential new treatment strategies for COVID-19: is there a role for bromhexine as add-on therapy? ( de Villiers, D; Depfenhart, M; Di Somma, S; Lemperle, G; Meyer, M, 2020)
