Considering the properties of both compounds in terms of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-pyrogenic, anti-viral and ER stress modulation and computational approaches revealing andrographolide docks with the SARS-CoV2 binding site, we predict that this combination therapy may have potential utility against COVID-19. Accumulating evidence suggests that ER stress and sustained UPR signaling are major contributors to the pathogenesis of several diseases, including inflammatory disorders and viral infections [15] and can increase the severity of these events [16] .
