Abstract
COVID-19 has broken out rapidly in nearly all countries worldwide, and has blossomed into a pandemic. Since the beginning of the spread of COVID-19, many scientists have been cooperating to study a vast array of old drugs and new clinical trial drugs to discover potent drugs with anti-COVID-19 activity, including antiviral drugs, antimalarial drugs, immunosuppressants, Chinese medicines, Mpro inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, etc. The most commonly used drugs are antiviral compounds, antimalarial drugs and JAK inhibitors. In this review, we summarize mainly the antimalarial drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, the antiviral drugs Favipiravir and Remdesivir, and JAK inhibitor Ruxolitinib, discussing their biological activities, clinical trials and synthesis progress.
期刊介绍：
Topics in Current Chemistry is a journal that presents critical reviews of present and future trends in modern chemical research. It covers all areas of chemical science, including interactions with related disciplines like biology, medicine, physics, and materials science. The articles in this journal are organized into thematic collections, offering a comprehensive perspective on emerging research to non-specialist readers in academia or industry. Each review article focuses on one aspect of the topic and provides a critical survey, placing it in the context of the collection. Selected examples highlight significant developments from the past 5 to 10 years. Instead of providing an exhaustive summary or extensive data, the articles concentrate on methodological thinking. This approach allows non-specialist readers to understand the information fully and presents the potential prospects for future developments.
