Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Apabetalone (RVX 208) is a derivative of the plant polyphenol resveratrol. RVX 208 is an investigational inhibitor of BET bromodomain containing proteins, with potential anti-atherosclerotic action for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) [3-4].

SARS-CoV-2 and CIVID-19: Apabetalone (RVX 208) has been reported to reduce ACE2 expression and hence SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro [2], and to block inflammation-mediated cardiac injury and dysfunction that is caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection (in a study using human cardiac organoids) [6]. It has been respositioned for potential to provide a cardio-protective therapy that prevents COVID-19-mediated cardiac damage.
