Researchers conducted selective phenotyping of coronavirus disease 2019 -relevant host proteins to facilitate target identification for drug repurposing.
A recent study, published in the Journal of Natural Products of the American Chemical Society and American Society of Pharmacognosy, highlighted three natural marine products as potent inhibitors of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – without any apparent toxic effects for human lung cells.
Researchers extensively searched publicly available SARS-CoV-2 biomedical literature to identify drug combinations that could effectively treat COVID-19.
