ABBV-744 as a potential inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 main protease enzyme against COVID-19

Abstract A new pathogen severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide and become pandemic with thousands new deaths and infected cases globally. To address coronavirus disease (COVID-19), currently no effective drug or vaccine is available. This necessity motivate...
