    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.

    • Identification of FDA Approved Drugs Targeting COVID-19 Virus by Structure-Based Drug Repositioning Preprint submitted on 19.03.2020, 11:01 and posted on 19.03.2020, 19:14 by Ayman Farag Ping Wang Mahmoud Ahmed Hesham Sadek 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. *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.

    • Prediction of the 2019-nCoV 3C-like Protease (3CLpro) Structure: Virtual Screening Reveals Velpatasvir, Ledipasvir, and Other Drug Repurposing Candidates Preprint submitted on 11.02.2020, 00:26 and posted on 11.02.2020, 11:48 by Yu Wai Chen Chin-Pang Yiu Kwok-Yin Wong We prepared the three-dimensional model of the 2019-nCoV 3C-like protease (3CLpro) using the crystal structure of the highly-similar (96% identity) ortholog from the SARS-CoV. All residues involved in the catalysis, substrate binding and dimerisation are 100% conserved. Comparison of the polyprotein PP1AB sequences showed 86% identity. The 3C-like cleavage sites on the coronaviral polyproteins are highly conserved. Based on the near-identical substrate specificities and high sequence identities, we are in the opinion that some of the previous progress of specific inhibitors development for the SARS-CoV enzyme can be conferred on its 2019-nCoV counterpart. With the 3CLpro molecular model, we performed virtual screening for purchasable drugs and proposed 16 candidates for consideration. Among these, the antivirals ledipasvir or velpatasvir are particularly attractive as therapeutics to combat the 2019-nCoV with minimal side effects, commonly fatigue and headache. The drugs Epclusa (velpatasvir / sofosbuvir) and Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) could be very effective owing to their dual inhibitory actions on two viral enzymes. *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.
