Abstract:
Human Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic of 2019-20 that was emerged in China in December 2019. More than 37,000deaths with7, 84, 440confirmed cases has been reported from around 200 different countries has been reported till now and the number is increasing every second. The spread is said to be through human to human transmission via close contact or respiratory droplets produced when people cough or sneeze. No treatment for the illness has been approved yet. The urgent need is to find solution to this growing problem that has affected the whole mankind. World Health Organisation (WHO) as well as US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are continuously working to find the solution. In the same line they have proposed many potent drugs that may have efficiency against the newly emerged viral infection. To support the efforts the present study is designed to carry out the in silico analysis viz. Docking studies of around 16drugs recently recommended by US FDA by observing the interaction of test molecules with SARS proteinase.

Principles of Drug Action
Drugs can be agonists or antagonists. Like the endogenous ligands, agonists always bind and activate the target to produce a cellular response. Agonist binding induces a conformational change which in turn...
Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
