Mechanistic Episodes on SARS-CoV-2-Mediated Neurological Manifestations and Their Possible Therapeutic Interventions.

Abstract

Recently, the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been critically recognized and spread rapidly on this planet. Considerable recognition of SARS-CoV-2 has been known with a range of viruses that are more capable to cause diseases in avian and mammals including humans. The virus was found as a main culprit for major defects in respiratory system and thereby caused severe acute respiratory syndrome disease. This has led to depict the mortality in human population. Nevertheless, compromised reports on SARS-CoV-2 has also shown neurological complications in both central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). This virus has notified with neurological defects as stroke, encephalopathy, cerebral edema, erythema, seizures, meningitis, ischemic, ageusia, loss of smell, myalgia and Guillain Barre Syndrome. In this review, we focused on COVID-19 mediated neurodegeneration and its mechanistic episodes on affected patients. We also discuss the possible available therapeutic interventions with clinically investigated drugs against COVID-19 mediated neurological impairment in patients and experimental in vitro and in vivo research models required for the development of drugs and/or vaccines against COVID-19 mediated neurological complications.
