Introduction: Concerning the current pandemic situation, the world is facing due to the highly infectious coronavirus (SARS-CoV2), we aim to gain some insight into the pre-existing drugs and compounds for curing the disease. Method: Here, we have studied the interaction of 10 drug molecules by in silico study against three targets, Angiotensin Convertase Enzyme-2 receptor (ACE-2), main protease (Mpro) and RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RDRP) and further analysed the interaction of the best docked compound against spike mutants. Results: By analysing the protein-ligand interactions by docking, and molecular dynamics simulation, it proves that RO 28-2653 can be a potent candidate drug for future COVID treatment even against the mutant strains. Conclusion: The used drugs have been implicated in asthma, hypertension, etc., so repurposing these drugs can have a beneficial role on COVID-19, keeping in mind that any drug should be used in a certain prescribed dosage.

Upon a viral outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), it is very important to understand the molecular characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 genome to detect the causative agent of the deadly viral infection. In the present study, we comprehensively analysed the codon usage pattern of SARS-CoV-2 to gain an insight into the viral pathogenesis as well as the evolutionary process of the newly emerging coronavirus. The correspondence analysis (CA), the effective number of codons versus GC3(NC-plot), and the relationship between GC12 versus GC3 show that a low codon usage bias exists in SARS-CoV-2. Both mutation and natural selection pressure have contributed to this low codon usage bias, with the former being the main determining factor. Lastly, the relationship of codon usage index (CUI), codon adaptation index (CAI), and the gene expression profile of SARS-CoV-2 genes have been discussed in reference to codon bias score (CBS) for further study on the virus-host relationship and their evolutionary phenomenon.
