Rush Scientists Develop Potential COVID-19 Drug

The scientists used hexapeptide in mouse models that are infected with COVID-19. The peptide was nasally introduced and has shown to be effective in reducing fever, improving heart function, protecting the lungs, and reversing cytokine storm. The peptide is also successful in preventing the progression of the disease.  Cytokine storm is the overreacting of the immune system to infection by overflooding the bloodstream with inflammatory proteins. This peptide inhibits cytokines produced by COVID-19.
