    Snippet: An outbreak of a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in China in December 2019 became the epicenter for the spread of a global pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus causes a cascade of respiratory diseases similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

    Document: An outbreak of a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in China in December 2019 became the epicenter for the spread of a global pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus causes a cascade of respiratory diseases similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Currently, there is no effective, specific, and safe treatment for COVID-19 to suppress the virus in the human body. The present study searched for pharmacological substances with antiviral activity for possible drug repositioning based on experimental and theoretical information in a series of publications on in vitro assays of agents against SARS-CoV-2. An analysis identified 46 well-known pharmaceutical substances that could be used for drug repositioning to create a therapy for COVID-19.
