Four compounds, Clomiphene (citrate), Vortioxetine, Vortioxetine (hydrobromide) and Asenapine (hydrochloride), showed potent inhibitory effects in both pseudovirus and authentic virus assay. In this study, the anti-SARS-Cov-2 potentiality of 1403 FDA approved drugs were quantitatively evaluated by the pseudovirus-based assay. In the second round of screening, inhibition of VSV-SARS-CoV-2-Sdel18 virus infection and cell cytotoxicity were both detected (Supplementary Figure 1) . The robust assay based on VSV-SARS-CoV-2-Sdel18 pseudovirus screened out the potential drugs with high efficiency, then the inhibitory effect was confirmed by authentic SARS-CoV-2 assay. The relative value or inhibition rate of candidate drugs were calculated according to the decrease of GFP positive cell number (for pseudovirus-based assay) or cytopathic effect (for authentic SARS-CoV-2-based assay).	./cache/cord-345299-4k7qymqd.txt	./txt/cord-345299-4k7qymqd.txt
