Mining of high throughput screening database reveals AP-1 and autophagy pathways as potential targets for COVID-19 therapeutics
Abstract The recent global pandemic of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 presents an urgent need for the development of new therapeutic candidates. Many efforts have been devoted to screening existing drug libraries with the hope to repurpose approved d...
