A cutoff value of 3 was used for the screening of compounds based on synthetic possibility and topranked molecules were submitted to structure-guided drug binding analysis such as molecular docking studies. All these molecules were docked against SARS-CoV-2 SP-ACE2 complex, furin, TMPRSS2 and main protease (3CLPro) and the binding affinity of their docked complexes was also calculated in terms of MM-GBSA score. J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f 44 A combination of scaffold morphing and a structure-based drug designing approach was successfully utilized to identify putative multi-targeting analogues of arbidol against COVID-19. ./cache/cord-326320-flfrdrbi.txt ./txt/cord-326320-flfrdrbi.txt
