By using in-silico molecular docking studies, the binding potential of Chloroquine and its derivatives with different SARS-CoV-2 proteins involved in viral replication was evaluated. Based on the recent reports, some of the essential regulatory proteins and enzymes associated with the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 were selected as drug targets such as the Spike glycoprotein that enables virus internalization, RNA dependent RNA polymerase that supports replication of viral genetic material, Chimeric RBD (Receptor binding domain) that interacts with the ACE 2, Main protease responsible for cleaving the viral polypeptide, Non-structural Protein3, Nonstructural Protein 10, Non-structural Protein 9 (Replicase Table 3 . ./cache/cord-336119-8g37xsys.txt ./txt/cord-336119-8g37xsys.txt
