Computational drug repurposing study elucidating simultaneous inhibition of entry and replication of novel corona virus by Grazoprevir

Abstract Outcomes of various clinical studies for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatment indicated that the drug acts via inhibition of multiple pathways (targets) is likely to be more successful and promising. Keeping this hypothesis intact, the present study describes for the first-time...
