Novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is affecting worldwide as declared pandemic by the WHO. Various repositioning and novel therapeutic agents are being evaluated under different clinical setups; however, there is no promising therapeutic agent reported to date. Small molecules like peptides have their popularity as their specificity, delivery, and synthesizability as promising therapeutic agents. In this study, we have reviewed the published literature describing peptide designing, in silico binding mode, antiviral activity, preventive measures, and in vivo assessments. Here, we reported all the results which are promising against SARS-CoV-2 as therapeutic and preventive (vaccine candidates), and their status in the drug development process.
新型严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(COVID-19)已在全球范围内传播,世界卫生组织已宣布其为大流行疾病。目前正在不同的临床环境下评估各种重新定位和新型治疗药物,但迄今为止尚未报告有疗效显著的治疗药物。小分子肽因其特异性、传递性和可合成性而备受关注,成为有前景的治疗药物。在本研究中,我们回顾了已发表的文献,这些文献描述了肽的设计、计算机模拟结合模式、抗病毒活性、预防措施和体内评估。在这里,我们报告了所有针对 SARS-CoV-2 的有前景的治疗和预防(候选疫苗)结果,以及它们在药物开发过程中的状态。
