The unprecedent situation generated by the COVID-19 global emergency has prompted scientists around the world to actively work to fight against this pandemic. In this sense, it is remarkable the number of drug repurposing efforts trying to shed light into the COVID-19 patients’ treatment. In the attempt to proceed toward a proper rationalization of the search for new antivirals among approved drugs, we carried out a hierarchical in silico/in vitro protocol which successfully combines virtual and biological screening to speed up the identification of host-directed therapies against COVID-19 in an effective way. A successful combination of a multi-target virtual screening approach focused on host-based targets related to viral entry and experimental evaluation of the antiviral activity of selected compounds has been carried out. As a result, three different potentially repurposable drugs interfering with viral entry, cepharantine, imatinib and efloxate, have been identified.
