In this study we used molecular docking method to test 248 drugs related to the virus research against spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 For ten top-ranked drugs the binding sites and interactions with spike glycoprotein were analyzed in detail The best-scored ligand is the natural biflavonoid amentoflavone Nine of twelve top-ranked ligands are drugs used for hepatitis C treatment Among them are ledipasvir, paritaprevir, elbasvir, simeprevir, velpatasvir, glecaprevir and pibrentasvir The two first-ranked ligands (amentoflavone and ledipasvir) have different binding sites, so their combined use may be effective, but the careful testing is required We encourage other researchers to explore the combination of amentoflavone and ledipasvir against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and in vivo brpppppp
