COVID-19 is a newly emerged viral disease that is currently affecting the whole globe. A variety of therapeutic approaches are underway to block the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Among these methods, siRNAs could be a safe and specific option, as they have been tested against other viruses. siRNAs are a class of inhibitor RNAs that act promisingly as mRNA expression blockers and they can be designed to interfere with viral mRNA to block virus replication. In order to do this, we designed and evaluated the efficacy of six highly specific siRNAs, which target essential viral mRNAs with no predicted human genome off-targets. We observed a significant reduction in the copy number viral mRNAs after treatment with the siRNAs, and are expected to inhibit virus replication. We propose siRNAs as a potential co-therapy for acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
