Potential of Marine Terpenoids against SARS-CoV-2: An <i>In Silico</i> Drug Development Approach

In an emergency, drug repurposing is the best alternative option against newly emerged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, several bioactive natural products have shown potential against SARS-CoV-2 in recent studies. The present study selected sixty-eight...

Similarly, marine terpenoids such as xiamycin (−9.3), thyrsiferol (−9.2), liouvilloside B (−8.9), liouvilloside A (−8.8), and stachyflin (−8.7) exhibited comparatively higher docking scores than the referral drug remdesivir (−7.4), and favipiravir (−5.7) against the target SARS-CoV-2−RdRp.
