Chemical and Mechanical Actions of Drugs Active Group Used in COVID-19 Treatment

Abstract

With the new global outbreak of the novel COVID-19, control and treatment has become critical. There is no medication proven to be effective for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome which is caused by COVID-19 according to the World Health Organization (WHO) reports. Most studies that have been done on this time are clinical trials. Those studies used several drugs like lopinavir, ritonavir, nebulized alpha-interferon and, aminoquinolines. The mechanism of action is not well known so far. This review studies the metabolites of the tested drugs with different kinds of the viral membrane which merging proteins based on mechanical criteria.
