Abstract

As the pandemic has already taken lots of lives across the globe, there’s an urgent need for finding treatment options that might help in protection of infected people by either slowing or preventing the progression of the disease. It’s important to understand the structure of virus, the mechanism by which it enters the host cell, replicates and infects other cells causing progression of the disease. This article focuses on use of already available and approved drugs for treatment of corona virus based on their mechanism of action and the structure and the life cycle of the virus.
