"Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) protein function is required for inflammation. BET inhibitors reversibly bind the bromodomains of BET proteins and prevent the protein-protein interaction between BET proteins and acetylated histones and transcription factors. Apabetalone, a BET inhibitor, reduces the expression of both ACE2 and DPP4 at the surface of human lung epithelial cells. As of January 2022, a phase 2/3 study has commenced in hospitalized patients compared with standard of care."
