cytidine diphosphate (CDP)-conjugated
phospholipid precursors selected from the group consisting of CDP-
choline (CDP-CHO), CDP-
ethanolamine (CDP-ETH), and CDPdiacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) in combination with one or more agents for treating COVID-19, such as corticosteroids, antibodies, or antivirals, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also disclosed is a method of treating
coronavirus (e.g. SARS CoV-2) infection in a subject that involves administering to the subject one, two, or more
cytidine diphosphate (CDP)-conjugated
phospholipid precursors selected from the group consisting of CDP-
choline (CDP-CHO), CDPethanolamine (CDP-ETH), and CDP-diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) in combination with agents for treating COVID-19, such as corticosteroids, antibodies, or antivirals.
