The high druggability of HCoV-host interactome motivates us to develop a drug repurposing strategy by specifically targeting cellular proteins associated with HCoVs for potential treatment of 2019-nCoV/SARS-CoV-2. These network proximity analyses offer putative repurposable candidates for potential prevention and treatment of HCoVs. To further validate the 135 repurposable drugs against HCoVs, we first performed gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) using transcriptome data of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV infected host cells (see Methods). ./cache/cord-317435-4yuw7jo3.txt ./txt/cord-317435-4yuw7jo3.txt
