Most of the clinicians have thought that specific antiviral treatment against COVID-19 is the best choice to struggle with the current outbreak, however, unfortunately, preclinical and clinical research takes a long time to identify effective and safe novel antiviral therapeutical candidates. This study consolidates the findings showing the antiviral activity of valproic acid and gives hope for its potential usage in the COVID-19 pandemic. In the current situation, in our opinion, it would be feasible to examine the potential usage of valproic acid, a drug that we have been using, and well known in the clinical practice for more than 60 years, against COVID-19 pandemic and related ARDS.	./cache/cord-253312-bf35afpj.txt	./txt/cord-253312-bf35afpj.txt
