An integrated method for optimized identification of effective natural inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro

Abstract The current severe situation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has not been reversed and posed great threats to global health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find out effective antiviral drugs. The 3-chymotry...
