Abdul Fight against novel coronavirus: A perspective of medicinal chemists 2020-06-12 .txt text/plain 5095 356 52 Like other RNA viruses, the functional significance of this Mpro or chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 emerges as an attractive drug target for the development of anti-viral agents. A group of scientists from the Cairo University, Egypt predicted COVID-19 spike binding site to a cell-surface receptor namely Glucose Regulated Protein 78 (GRP78) by employing structural bioinformatics in combination with protein-protein docking [55] . An early virtual screening (VS) study of FDA approved drugs (retrieved from Selleckchem Inc.) against the first resolved SARS-CoV-2 Mpro crystal structure (PDB: 6LU7) was performed. In another study, Elfiky [67] reported SARS-CoV-2 RdRp targeted molecular docking study of some anti-polymerase drugs which have been approved for use against various viruses. This study deals with the information currently available on potential targets for therapeutic invention and screening of new compounds or drug repurposing against SARS-CoV-2 (Figure 8 ).
