Increasing evidence reveals potential therapeutic agents acting directly against SARS-CoV-2, such as interferon (IFN), RdRp inhibitors, protease inhibitors, coronaviral protease inhibitor, viral entry blocker, neuraminidase inhibitor, vaccine, antibody, agent targeting the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome, natural killer cells, and nucleocytoplasmic trafficking inhibitors. The novel specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents might comprise inhibitors interfering with the viral replication cycle, antibody targeting the host receptor and virus S protein, and inhibitors of host cellular proteases involved in the virus endocytosis pathway. 33, 34 Moreover, evidence showed that diarylheptanoids, the natural products derived from Japanese alder (Alnus japonica), can inhibit the papain-like protease and restore the host innate immunity response against SARS-CoV through maintaining the function of IFNs. 31 Therefore, specific coronaviral proteases might be good candidate targets for developing new drugs to fight COVID-19. ./cache/cord-296250-7ln7p715.txt ./txt/cord-296250-7ln7p715.txt
