Despite dynamic drug and vaccine development processes to reduce the disease burden of COVID-19, the treatment options are still very limited. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) has a diversified physiological action with specific features of lung protection-related activities.VIP inhibits severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) gene replication in human monocytes and the viral replication in Calu-3 cells, thus further reducing the generation of proinflammatory mediators. Aviptadil, a synthetic form of VIP, is the only pulmonary therapeutic agent to have been granted ‘fast track’ status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and to be allowed into both Phase II and III clinical trials. Initial binding of Aviptadil with non-structural protein (nsp) 10 and nsp16, which may inhibit the 2’-O-methyltransferase activity of the SARS-CoV-2 nsp10 and nsp16 complex.Aviptadil has already proved to be an effective option in the treatment of severe respiratory failures due to sepsis and other related lung injuries. Interim analysis results of this drug used in respiratory failure caused by SARS-CoV-2 has evolved a new hope in regard to safety and efficacy. The final results from a recently completed trial, as well as all currently ongoing trials, will clarify the class effect of this drug in the treatment of COVID-19 in future days.
