    The new strain of Coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2), and the resulting Covid-19 disease has spread swiftly across the globe after its initial detection in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China, resulting in a pandemic status declaration by WHO within 3 months. Given the heavy toll of this pandemic, researchers are actively testing various strategies including new and repurposed drugs as well as vaccines. In the current brief report, we adopted a repositioning approach using insilico molecular modeling screening using FDA approved drugs with established safety profiles for potential inhibitory effects on Covid-19 virus.

    • Potential Inhibitors Against Papain-like Protease of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) from FDA Approved Drugs Preprint submitted on 17.02.2020, 01:03 and posted on 19.02.2020, 05:54 by Rimanshee Arya Amit Das Vishal Prashar Mukesh Kumar The cases of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection have been continuously increasing ever since its outbreak in China last December. Currently, there are no approved drugs to treat the infection. In this scenario, there is a need to utilize the existing repertoire of FDA approved drugs to treat the disease. The rational selection of these drugs could be made by testing their ability to inhibit any COVID-19 proteins essential for viral life-cycle. We chose one such crucial viral protein, the papain-like protease (PLpro), to screen the FDA approved drugs in silico. The homology model of the protease was built based on the SARS-coronavirus PLpro structure, and the drugs were docked in S3/S4 pockets of the active site of the enzyme. In our docking studies, fifteen FDA approved drugs, including chloroquine and formoterol, bind the target enzyme with significant affinity and good geometry, suggesting their potential to be utilized against the virus. *注,本文为预印本论文手稿,是未经同行评审的初步报告,其观点仅供科研同行交流,并不是结论性内容,请使用者谨慎使用.

    • Identification of SARS-CoV-2 Cell Entry Inhibitors by Drug Repurposing Using in Silico Structure-Based Virtual Screening Approach Preprint submitted on 19.03.2020, 21:28 and posted on 20.03.2020, 13:21 by Shweta Choudhary Yashpal S. Malik Shailly Tomar The rapidly spreading, highly contagious and pathogenic SARS-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) associated Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The novel 2019 SARS-CoV-2 enters the host cell by binding of the viral surface spike glycoprotein (S-protein) to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The virus specific molecular interaction with the host cell represents a promising therapeutic target for identifying SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drugs. The repurposing of drugs can provide a rapid and potential cure towards exponentially expending COVID-19. *注,本文为预印本论文手稿,是未经同行评审的初步报告,其观点仅供科研同行交流,并不是结论性内容,请使用者谨慎使用.
