Imatinib, a protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase which is approved to treat chronic myeloid leukemia by inhibiting ABL oncogenetic pathway has previously shown success in disrupting the viral entry mechanism of both SARS-CoVand MERS-CoV into the cell; hence, it can also be considered as a potentially useful drug to treat patients with severe forms of COVID-19.
