A drug repurposing screen identifies hepatitis C antivirals as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease 2020-08-27 .txt text/plain 2683 172 52 title: A drug repurposing screen identifies hepatitis C antivirals as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease Here we show the existing pharmacopeia contains many drugs with potential for therapeutic repurposing 27 as selective and potent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Taken together this work suggests previous large-scale commercial 35 drug development initiatives targeting hepatitis C NS3/4A viral protease should be revisited because some 36 previous lead compounds may be more potent against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro than Boceprevir and suitable for 37 rapid repurposing.

Before screening the Broad library, 100 we piloted our assay conditions against the NIH Clinical collections library (~650 compounds) and 101 calculated our Z'-factor for each plate at 0.780 and 0.784 (Fig 1C and D) . ./cache/cord-332271-slouuryl.txt ./txt/cord-332271-slouuryl.txt
